I’ve actually found a method that has helped my anxiety. Of course, no method is perfect. Sometimes, no matter what I do, I can’t shake my anxiety, but this method has helped me more than any other. As much as possible, I try to focus on the present moment. I try to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, such as the gentle breezes of wind on my face, the smell of freshly baked cookies, or the relaxing sound of dripping water. When I fixate on the uncertainty of the future, that’s when my anxiety creeps in, but at the same time, when I reflect on the trauma of the past, my anxiety also starts to flourish. By focusing on the present moment, I alleviate my worries.

[@DemonPikachu]

Yes!!! Doesn't this world think about us ever, beyond punishing us so unfairly after setting impossible standards that we will never be able to achieve because of our conditions?! Hey corporatism, don't you think I want to be as successful as you, but after your incoherency has already crippled me like this in near all aspects of my life, I can't even easily get up out of bed to do things any bigger than basic life functioning needs? So when every ignorant prick parrots out "stop crying about your life situation, we alllll have it ruff, you just gotta get out there and work your butt off!!" I get feelings as if I'm staring death in the face. And a hollow emptiness of inevitability, knowing I will never be able to do this thing I always dreamed I would be able to, just to support myself. And don't you think that I'm only trying to do the least amount of work but still be paid really well because I know that all I can start doing is the barest minimum just to keep my body and mind health steady while I attempt to navigate a life challenge I've never done proper before? Because maybe the last thing I want to is to end up straining myself in some sort of bad way over time, inevitably causing a cascade effect that would jeapordize my standing or pay amount or actually hospitalize me? Hey boomers, I'm so exhausted I'm nearly dead. Do you know what dead means? I need life support. Shut up and keep me alive, or you just die for me instead. Fuck. Oh no, I wished death on boomers, how r00d!!! I won't be polite about survival, and I won't allow unfoundable excuses for anyone to use against the human mandatory requirement of survival. Make it happen or get out of my way, and I don't wanna hear a peep out of you or I'll give you something to really complain about. Everyone else reading this, be sure to credit and quote me if you want to spread my message. Go right ahead, make sure they see it. I want them all to know.

[@pattygaffney]

This ideal is what transformed my anxiety. I used to have major panic attacks, was caught in a cycle of avoidance and being miserable. When i learned to sit with it, to stop running away, to stop believing that my feelings will overcome me or would hurt me. Once you actually allow yourself to sit with it and let it do whatever it wants knowing it will release itself and that it’s just uncomfortable energy, it’s absolutely transforms it. That’s how i came out of it. I hope this gives hope to some people. It’s possible❤️

Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes or more. Let thoughts come. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Whenever you are free during the day or night before sleep sit or lie down still for a few minutes and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Feel the stillness flow within you. Make it a daily habit. Do the above meditation daily to have a good life. Best wishes and prayers.

I'm also in a loop of being anxious about anxiety. For me it manifests as being scared of leaving the house for fear of an anxiety attack that would cause me to gag.

@Johnathan Taylor I’ve never had an acute panic attack, but GAD for a long time. Here’s a simple way to divert- At the first sign of repetitive negative thoughts, ask yourself If the outcome of whatever is bothering you will be positive if the looping thoughts continue. It won’t. The result will be the same whether you worry or not. The only thing the anxiety will do is make you extremely uncomfortable. Every time.

[@jeanlister2897]

I'm bad for doing this to it destroys yur life

[@Secretzstolen]

The pandemic has very much exacerbated this in many many people, myself included. Since I've been in therapy before it did not get as bad as I've once had it before, but it did get worse during this time. Something that helps also is learning about black & white thinking from DBT coping skills. One major thing I did to stop it, the first time I noticed health anxiety getting really bad, was to tell myself I refuse to focus on the symptom I am worried about. Let's say at on point it was my skin, freckles moles red spots colors etc. I would look at it, examine it, worry about it, think it's not normal. Then when I decided I was going to stop, I told myself I am no longer allowed to inspect my skin. At all. Not even think about it! After that moment, whenever I found myself starting to worry about my skin, or start looking at my skin, I would say to myself NO!! And immediately FORCE myself to change my thoughts, change the topic of thought in my head, to anything else. It was a really big struggle, and at first the thoughts keep coming back because you're trying to push them away, but it doesn't matter. Just distract yourself, keep distracting, DO NOT GIVE IN to thinking about the symptom. Over time, this gets easier to do. Eventually, you forget about that symptom. I would say maybe takes a month to fully forget the symptom. The first few days are hardest, after the first week it's a little better, after second week it gets easier/less often. If you try this let me know!

I would love to share my best friend's story with you to help you understand where real peace and comfort can be found. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

10 years ago, I worked in a school that had a lot of problem kids, and I was stressed out. It was my first job, and I felt I had to prove myself. I was overwhelmed, and I made a lot of mistakes tryiing to figure out what to do. I sometimes had nightmares about going to work. In the end, I lost the job, and felt disappointed in myself. Even though, now I can see better. I realized I didn't know what I didn't know. It was the best I could do at the t time. I forgive myself and the people who made my life miserable at that time. I felt like that police officer that has to see horrible things over and over, year after year.

I think I got so used to having “good days” in terms of little to no anxiety (like 3/10) That I forgot to stop struggling. Mr Anxiety is so funny. I was starting to get anxious that I was anxious fixating on perfection rather than progression. We got this. Just let the anxiety be there. Do not wait for it to leave. Change your reaction to “no reaction” this slowly breaks that fight/flight cycle. Good luck guys 🤍

I have to admit that for most of my life I have been the ultimate procrastinator. I have made every excuse in the book to wait until the last minute to accomplish tasks. After my daily meditation this morning, I began to realize just how much I have been putting off. I quickly became overwhelmed in my thoughts and began to catastrophize. Sounds funny that one would begin to catastrophize the completion of tasks, but I did. Anyhoo, I immediately thought to create a list of any outstanding tasks that need to be accomplished, and commit myself to accomplishing one small task a day. Thankfully I created a small list this morning and tackled a few of the tasks that I had written down. Then, I found this video on KZbin. I never really thought of myself as an avoider before, but it all makes perfect sense. I’ve been so comfortable avoiding important things for so long that I have refused to deal with them. In refusing to deal with them, I am only fueling the fires of anxiety. I so look forward to viewing your other videos to gather tools necessary for healing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your desire to assist people on their healing journeys.

This was very helpful advice. I've been struggling with chronic pain all over my body for over a year due to stress, anxiety, and unwanted intrusive thoughts and I haven't figure out a way to truly deal with them but fighting against the pain and trying to plead with God to make the pain go away isn't going to make things much better. As a Christian I've been praying to make this pain go away but it really doesn't help. The thing I should be praying for is to have the courage and strength to process the pain as opposed to getting rid of it completely.

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

would love to share my best friend's story with you to help you understand where real peace and comfort can be found. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you?

I’ve been sick since this pandemic started a year ago, have come down with burning mouth syndrome, clinching teeth, sore neck muscles, migraines, I’ve been miserable.

Unpredictable, but once I perceive uncertainty about a situation that triggers me off the cliff I go. Isolation brings the most relief, I don't recognize myself. I can't remember the last time I felt true joy, that feeling to breathe openly and no tension in my body

I've had an anxiety disorder with agoraphobia for over 25 years now and one of the things I struggle with the most is what I call "stage fright anxiety". Just thinking about going to the store before I actually go out will put me into a state of anxiety. I remember about the times I've had anxiety while out and it slowly builds up. But a large portion of the time because I push myself once I get to the store I come to terms that I'm not going to have an anxiety attack and start to calm down. Most of the time I have more anxiety thinking about a situation that could cause me anxiety then when I'm actually in that situation.

The pain was from all the emotions and stress I was holding in my body. I'm still learning how to deal/process emotions as I pushed EVERYTHING down after the assault, including the memory of the event itself. I was shocked and amazed that all my pain was from that. I had literally knocked my spine and pelvis out of place with everything I was holding onto. I just found your channel and I will be making good use of your playlist.

Re: running away from the monster/letting the monster catch you. When I heard you say that, I was reminded of this verse from Elton John's epic 1970 classic song "Indian Sunset" where the protagonist in the story decides to stop running and face his pursuers, even though it was essentially a hopeless situation. This beautiful song has always been extremely powerful and emotional for me - and hearing your advice on "letting the monster catch you" -- and my brain immediately connecting it to Bernie Taupin's lyric -- viscerally resonated within me. "Now there seems no reason why I should carry on In this land that once was my land I can't find a home It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running"

Some people get worse with exercise. When you're anxious, body is releasing adrenaline. Exercise adds more adrenaline, which in turn can make some people feel even more anxious and worse. People like that can't reliably use exercise to cope with and come down from anxiety or panic. Mindfulness meditation, gentle stretching, may work better for people like this. Meditation is a practice so do it on days you don't feel anxious and days you do, so that you get used to doing it and it comes naturally to you, that will help you reap the benefits of it better

I am working to overcome rumination. I started thinking of "the thoughts" as synthetic properties that automatically filter out of my thought processes. I am learning to incorporate organic thoughts, acts of kindness, healthy living, and putting those thoughts into goals and actuating tasks to complete those goals. If I summarize thoughts of myself, should I think of someone else that way? Am I being a good neighbor to other people and would I want it done to me? I would not mistreat myself, so I should not treat others that way and I will make every effort not to. I will make every effort to be kind and decent to myself and to others and to dodge the drama where necessary. Some people get offended by everything thing big or small, but in-reality the offense is in the eye of the beholder leaving the offended at fault by default. Everyone chooses how to think, react, behave, and when or when not to be offended. I have learned to let things go, synthetic process: translate that into organic processes. Re-align positive goals and complete those tasks. I stopped feeling sorry for others because everyone in life makes their own choices. When someone’s life is in turmoil, I lend a helping hand.

In my early 20s to my early 30s I was in an abusive marriage, I then got away from the marriage but ended up going to prison for 4 years… I realized that I am still dealing with the ptsd of that relationship and prison and how it changed my brain and rewired it into this neverending loop of anxiety and trauma responses. Then when my current boyfriend became verbally and emotionally abusive it triggered these trauma responses and coping mechanisms . I was doing avoidance anxiety and I thought that I was “dealing” with my anxiety. It was actually making it worse. The way you explain what anxiety is on a primitive level and what it is doing in your brain has helped me like nothing ever has before. I seeked out therapy but it was basically talk therapy and has helped me nowhere near your videos. Thank you for this and thank you for caring about people over money.

Emma, I want to sincerely thank you for your videos. You've described exactly what I am going through. I was just at the peak of my anxiety a few minutes ago and watching your videos, hearing to you speak, calmed me down so much, you've no idea. 😭❤❤ you are a gem

[@brittneygilchrist2744]

In this video, you talk about when you focus on your anxiety it makes it worse and then the waves come.. I want you to know that you’ve become my second point coping mechanism when I hit the repeat cycle. When I go dig my second hole and realize the cycle is repeating.. I jump to you, and you always make me happy again because I get to learn a new thing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being here to escape to. I always come back feeling stronger and ready to either take on my problem or I realize that the problem isn’t worth the energy and it ends. No therapist that I have ever been to has ever done what you do through your teachings.. you make us better people for having you and that is human goals! Huge love.

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

Thank you. I beat myself up yesterday terribly for having a PTSD trigger event when in reality this has been building up for months. So goodbye to the guilt, it’s not serving any purpose. Onward in processing, and above all, forgiving myself.

[@d.h.8835]

Good explanation of what is meant by “accepting” those “negative” feelings. Most of my life I treated everything that wasn’t joy or peace or happiness s as some kind of personal defect. I still struggle with this but I’m grateful resources like this are available.

Oh my god! I absolutely ADORE Michelle B! She’s one of my absolute favourite channels!

I have suffered for years with social anxiety plus fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. It has created a perfect storm for struggling to be normal. I have tried many therapies and techniques but I am excited to watch all your videos. I like your presentations and your insights. . Thank you

Reminds me of when the nurse or doctor straps the blood pressure cuff to me and asks me to relax and my pressure is through the roof

[@edithdlp8045]

Same. Everytime I go to the doctor he asks me if I suffer high blood pressure and I tell him no, actually I have 100/60 which is low but when I am scared it goes all the way to 150/90.

[@bigpun1427]

@@edithdlp8045 It is very upsetting for this to happen. I have a bad case of white coat hypertension and the more I try to control it the worse it gets. Hope you can control your pressure and heart at the doctor.

[@traneenicole]

SAME!! Its so annoying.

[@Independent-lh7uz]

EXACTLY lol

[@tammyszu3570]

YES! I can feel my heart beating faster as soon as they strap the cuff on, but then it comes out as 120/90, which I guess is normal. So then I'm like...how low is my blood pressure when I'm NOT nervous...?

I think this lady is so relaxing just to listen to - she has God given healing I feel. Thank you she helps so much.

Thank you so much for the quality content! Sometimes the barriers to receiving help or therapy can be challenging and I really appreciate you posting valuable content for those working through mental health experiences.

I got a panic disorder 6 months ago. Currently have anxiety attacks twice a day. Waking up and falling asleep. It's been a life changer. And this week I have food poisoning on top of it. Needless to say, I'm not having fun. But these videos are helping.

[@buketsolak4489]

Please make this a podcast! I would love to listen to this series while doing other stuff and especially before sleep.

Ways to tell you're making your emotions (anxiety, depression, etc.) worse: 1. You judge emotions as good and bad 2. You're stuffing (your emotions down) 3. You're negotiating (with the universe, e.g. "why me?") 4. You're shaming yourself 5. You're catastrophizing 6. You're checking (which tells your brain to amp up your emotions) 7. You're distracting

I was once told "quite fighting yourself." And it made sense, an ah ha moment, an understanding of my internal struggles. Hearing it from someone else is far more impactful than telling yourself. Strange.

It’s comforting to listen to your videos because you sit there and describe exactly what I do and how I feel with out knowing me it’s nice to know I’m not the only one dealing with this anxiety

You are the CEO of your brain, what you pay attention to tells your brain what’s most important to you and what you pay attention to is what you get more of.
