I feel off | How chronic stress almost killed me

[@zedonutube]

This is a very important video. I wish you could give us more details your stressful situations (money, etc) and the resolutions (what type of vitamins, etc) and how you changed your life style (did you get another job, etc), What were your political views and if they were part of the sources of your stress (I know it is for me, etc). Thank you for the wake up call. I think you should take this to the next level. The point is there are millions in your situation.

I’m a 19 year old going though the same, I’ve been to doctors multiple times, but ended up feeling like I got sent back without any answers. The stress I now deal with came from my panic anxiety. I had that panic episode about a year ago. Ever since that day I’ve been under uncontrollable stress. I later managed to get my panic anxiety under control after almost 9 months. But the stress never went away. For the last 3 months I’ve been feeling hopeless. I know how my anxiety works and I feel like it’s now gone. I just kind of settled in with the idea that this is how my life is going to be. But then I started to take a look at my past, which lead me to some answers about why I feel this way. And now started to take a look at my well-being in this exact moment. My past situation with toxic friends, drug abuse, family and work problems made it all clear. I’ve been under stressful conditions for years, which later lead me to my panic anxiety. I’m first now starting to prioritise my own well-being. I’m a caring person and have been stepped on my whole life. I want my quality of life back, I want to feel again, I want to remember, I want to be able to concentrate again. I’m tired of this never ending hell. I just wanted to share a fraction of my story if anyone out there needs to hear this. I know how lonley this journey can feel, but you are not alone, just never start doubting yourself 🧡I thank you so much for this video, it really made me realise I need to take action and really listen to the signs my body is telling me. Thank you so much🧡

Hi Kristian, thank you so much for sharing your story. I personally needed to hear it. 💖I’m glad you were able to get anxiety under control. Don’t give up on pursuit of feeling alive and well. It’s all possible. Maybe not overnight, but possible. And most importantly, thank you for reminding that none of us are alone in this even though it might feel like we are when we are in the midst of it. Take care. Big hug

What sucks is that the stress I'm feeling every day is going to be inevitable until everything is good in my life...yet that same stress has already caused me to have a brain aneurysm in 2017 and now I'm having heart problems and stroke symptoms from all this cortisol and high blood pressure. I'm not saying everything has to be perfect for me to not feel stress, but it feels like anything good in my life gets constantly pulled from underneath me. It's always 2 steps forward and 10 steps back....and those very things are things I NEED in my life or else I will die alone, become broke, and fail everyone. I already started to starve myself in hopes I will eventually die off before my life gets worse and I can stop being a burden....but I know that will just make my condition worse. However, it feels like there's no way out of this if I don't remove myself from this world I don't deserve to be in.

Thank you so much for sharing! All of us deserve to be here no matter what our mind tells us. If you need to talk to someone, I suggest trying 988lifeline.org/ or dial 9-8-8 in US.

Wow thank you very much, I'm only 21 years old and I'm going through it right now, I have constant headaches, I feel like my head is being pressed down, I sleep but wake up feeling horrible like I've never slept, nurses here in school suspect stress, I should really go check my cortisol levels, this feeling is horrible thank you very much for sharing and I'm really happy that you got help and you are doing better ♥️

[@oxanatrotsenko]

Lesedi, thank you! And I so hope you feel better! I suggest to run a full hormone panel to see what’s going on, including cortisol. Big hug XOXO

I’m 31 years old and I’m under so much financial stress to the point that it’s making me not want to exist anymore. I feel like life is moving too fast and I’m still living with my mom and I also quit my job last week. I’m afraid of what impact this is going to have on me mentally. I know what is causing my stress but knowing doesn’t help me. I need to get out of this fight or flight mode. Thank you for sharing your experience but if you can please make a video on tips to not feel financial stress anymore.

[@oxanatrotsenko]

Hi, thank you for sending a note and I’m sorry you are going through this. I will see if I can come up with something meaningful for the tips on how to not feel it anymore. I took the route of hunkering down and being super disciplined with my spending. I took a second job and I was paying my debt off slowly but consistently. I wrote down a plan and was checking things off every two weeks so I could feel like I was making progress (which was good for my mental health). I also had help from my partner, who was kind and gracious enough to offer it. He helped me get out of the situation much faster.
