Tim, I'm with you, brother. Going through some anxiety issues with work. Eliminated my clerk job, cut my hours, and put me doing work I did 23 years ago. At 63 years old it's not easy on my back. Anxiety is very high, loss of a third of my income. No one around me understands. You're lucky to have family and friends for support. Best of luck to you, you are truly blessed.

[@omorostrong7442]

I have anxiety real bad. I understand

[@SXSPRIME]

If you have enough time for a retirement from your company take that take social security and get a 20 hour a week job

[@davidedwards6556]

Praying for you

[@SXSPRIME]

@George how is that the easy way? Take your retirement and enjoy life if that's in the budget... my father died at 64 no time to waste. He retired from state job at 50 worked anther job got retirement from that amd then took social security. You worked for the money take it.

[@BFT88]

@George the Fck you mean the easy way? If you worked long enough for retirement it’s a benefit of the job.

[@rwilli296]

Anxiety can be a crippling thing!!! Thank you for reaching out to others that may be going through the same thing

[@paleggett1897]

The VA has researched and approved the use of CBD (legal and is not positive on the CDL drug screen)… buy a regenerative AG practice produced CBD that is tested by an independent lab. … Bless Up❣️ Anxiety can sure seem Hellish 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏼

[@YARCHLRL]

I have spine injuries from IED's in combat almost identical to your issue. Acupuncture and inversion boots have helped me since 2014 with no pain, no surgery and NO DRUGS...

[@jessesager9460]

I can totally relate to the anxiety issue. Back in Aug 2014 I was driving truck in Maryland, ended up in a head on fatal crash with a car that entered my lane abruptly. Some days it takes all I have to get into any vehicle and go somewhere, let alone go trucking. But I do my best to hit it head on and get er done. Stay strong brother.

[@ryansimpson717]

You’re a class act, pushing through life’s issues to support your family.

[@schwinnbiker420]

I know all about anxiety. I have got it very bad at times I can't leave the house or even work. I constantly over think everything even if it's nothing big. I can totally relate to your issues. Wish their was more help for people like us.

[@michaelglenn8598]

I feel for you I’ve suffered with it for years. As time goes on it’ll get easier. You’ll be able to start to identify your triggers and stuff. It will get easier

[@anthonymontoya8039]

I have severe anxiety and am having a lot of trouble coping with it, but your videos help me breath easy! Thank you for what you do and thank you for supplying us with the endless videos!

[@dodge33445]

Praying for you Tim. If you get anxiety building up... Just think of the sweet sound of that turbo, and let that ease your mind.. Then think of all the moving parts inside of that motor just chugging along.... All those moving parts coming together to make raw horsepower. You just have to RE FOCUS your attention to something besides the anxiety . So if you think about those things it will RE DIRECT your mind OFF the anxiety or panic.. Another thing they say is to look for 3 things you see right in site, and say those 3 things... like 10 times.. TO redirect .

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

I feel your pain Tim, anxiety sucks and having claustrophobia on top of that is really bad. I've self induced several anxiety attacks and finally got to where I can talk myself through them and calm myself down. Stay strong, God is there for you.

[@bobmcnelis3648]

Sucks when you have to have CT scans every 6 months too! Good luck to you!

[@kdogg19691]

I have been dealing with anxiety for a while. Remember nobody has died from an anxiety attack. Keep your head up. I also am a truck driver. When I finally got it under control I felt relaxed in my truck. Now I feel it is my relaxing place. As much as truck driving is. Praying for fellow trucker.

[@kroge007]

Tim, I wish you all the best to get through this . Just remember we are with you and God will watch over you!

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

Good to see you back in the saddle. In my pot in the ramp I have a gate that drops in a slide under the gate for the belly ramp so the cattle will not try and go under the gate and try to push the flop down gate up to get out.

[@richarddimon6567]

Thank you Tim for the words of encouragement I also suffer from a form of anxiety I try to push through it every day. Your right just having someone there for you means a lot to someone whoever is going through it. Just remember YOU are stronger than you may realize Tim. Please keep telling yourself that every day.

[@jeffrey1461]

Tim, hats off to you brother. I have been thru alot this year. Anxiety kicked me right down. Your videos are an inspiration. Keep looking after your family

[@ericgriffin397]

You got this Tim, be safe, don't over do it and God Bless y'all!!

[@robertsmith7580]

Tim I have panic attacks every day and I have to talk myself down and get myself back on track it takes a lot of self control, put faith in God and live life the best you can !

[@throughmyeyes8868]

Tim! That took a lot of courage to brush yourself off and get back in the seat. I have been suffering through depression often on for 16 years now. Having a wife and family helping me through that has helped a ton, but also getting the therapy that I need has also helped. In 2006, I was diagnosed with having panic attacks. Since I got married in 2008, those have diminished, now that I have a good support system. Thank you for being such the wonderful person that you are! we are never alone in this battle. I look forward to the day when we all get to see our heavenly father and I get to truly see with my new eyes everything around me. Take care and God bless.

[@northcountry9240]

Anxiety for sure can be crippling I've dealt with it for many years. Good to hear you are finding ways to deal with it. Welcome back to my home state of Michigan. Been farming & trucking out of Michigan all my life. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Safe travels to ya. Peace, 🇺🇲

[@chadsmith9979]

Glad to hear you're doing so much better I'm glad to hear your first friend went good hopefully God willing the rest will keep praying

[@dodge33445]

That trailer is super cool! I never knew it had all those chutes built into it and all the stuff.. Super awesome to see it work!

[@ethanhuber5360]

I've been there Tim, anxiety is tough. It takes a lot of determination and will power to do simple things with anxiety. All you can do is keep working at it, and keep making yourself do the uncomfortable things. Eventually it'll all be behind you

[@jamesdowney2077]

I’m so glad to hear you’re trying to beat anxiety!!! Keep your head up, we will beat this with you!!!!

[@williegillie5712]

Sorry to hear about your neck. I’ve got the same issue with mine. It can be debilitating. To the point where ya just have to lay down for a while to take a break. The biggest thing that helps is to trying to be strong for your family. Fight you way through it and if anxiety rears it’s ugly head I always say a prayer and ask for a peace in my heart and mind. God is good. He’s a lot more faithful then we are. That’s for sure. Thanks for sharing that. At least I know I have someone dealing with the same thing. Prayers definitely got me through it.

[@jamesfalls3310]

Tim I am a leader at Celebrate Recovery we help people with Anxiety and all sorts of mental problems. I have 20 years clean from alcohol and coca.i attend 2 different C Rs.I travel on my Harleys and share my Testimony.

[@khoun261]

Keep up the good work Tim. Seen you guys driving through Michigan. Those cattle are in for a treat when winter hits here in Michigan

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥right on man. Happy to see ya behind the Wheel again doing what u love 🔥👊🔥🏍⚙️🔨🚜

[@buckskinz]

Way to have the courage to just say I'm going. Anxiety can come out of nowhere and hit you hard and than the fears that come with it can be crippling. I am proud of you my man.

[@phil3746]

Tim.thank you for sharing this serous issue. I'm struggling with cptsd . I'm dealing with the neck issues. God bless and keep you Tim.

[@erickelly4127]

I have gone through it. My son is going through it now and the past three months. He is a trucker and hasn’t driven in three months. When he thinks about trucking he starts to feel funny. I completely understand what you are going through.God will b with you and completely rely on Him and the support of your loved ones. Thank you for sharing.

[@SuperB776]

I appreciate this video Tim... people with anxiety/depression really do need support...Thank you sir...b

[@garyduquette1784]

I suffer with anxiety and depression. I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning. But I do.! I found going to the gym helps me get in shape (mind and body). And like you I have a beautiful wife that suffers with some of the same things. I’m 65 and have gone through so many things but even when I thought I was alone and had nothing to go forward for God was with me. When I did things I knew were wrong and thought no one cared Good was there. When I opened my eyes and my heart God told me he has always has been with me from the day as a young man that I asked God to come into my heart and all the days I ignored him he waited for me and made sure I didn’t get into too much trouble. And after a lot of years of doing it my way I woke to a mess I made of my life. Divorced twice not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out . God asked me if I was ready to live a life he wanted for me. Since then I’ve tried my best to walk with him. This life will never be perfect but it can be good. And life after this one is going to be awesome perfect. Evil will do its best to trip you up to make you fall. You can’t be perfect but you can ask God to forgive you and help you. He might give you a miracle, he may bring someone into your life that will help you through your problem. Or he may tell you no! Just keep walking with him do your best and Tim I know that what your doing.

[@charlesroberts6965]

Glad to see ya made it and calmed your fears. I have never dealt with anxiety but have battled two deadly cancers in my life plus the loss of my right leg...but like all things in life is you press through and having a strong walk and faith..well that gives you the strength that goes far above understanding. Continued prayers for you and success for your family.😇🙏🔧🇺🇸

[@JeffryKuhn]

Enjoying your channel and seeing your son in there helping you. My Dad started his trucking business in 1950 back in Nebraska. I learned to drive in the hay fields and following the combines and other farm equipment. Keep up the good work. Best Wishes

[@tennesseedave6771]

I'm 43, been trucking for 15yr & I have had the same thing happened with me, anxiety is a real & scary thing. Stay tough brother, it really helps me to talk to someone while I'm driving

[@jickmccivy6327]

I feel you man ive been through the mill , life is to short to spend it all working , Wake up happy that you woke up at all . Family is everything , time spent with family is Priceless , Don't let anything drag you down the sun will rise tomorrow. Smiles, Handshakes , Hugs and conversations for all .

[@graemewoodruff9988]

Well done Tim, looks like you are onto a good strategy for getting through this thing. And well done Bryce👍🏼

[@rickysullivan4384]

[@wvboy1982]

I have been having really bad anxiety in past couple months of my life and I found your channel and it has really helped me through it. I enjoy watching your videos you can tell you really care about other people! So thank you! And I would appreciate a prayer and I will do the same for you!

[@Twister-10228]

Hey Tim good video, I am glad anxiety is not killing your desire to get back trucking. Old FLD reminds me getting into bull hauling for a smaller but very good small trucking company had 4 Pete's / 2- 379's and 2 - 277 with 2 Freightliners FLD. I used to run similar setup in a 1991 Freightliner FLD with a 3406C Cat motor with13 speed and 3.90 gear ratio as we go to Montana mountains to pickup feeders from some nice ranches and then take them feeders to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Misouri , sometimes Oklahoma too. As I got seasoned bull hauler I moved to the 379 Pete. As new hand gets the FLD. The other FLD was the bosses personal truck. If your have issues with your neck muscles and nerves. I found a pain management doctor that is good and can read you MRI. As I am now pain free as I have RFA done on my faucet joints in my neck and lower back. Radio Frequency Ablation is used to burn or kill the faucet joint little nerves and last me from about a 1.5 to 2.0 years each time until the nerves grow back. I had issues in my lower back as the nerves continue to stay inflamed and muscles never would relax or go down, because the nerves are in constant hurt. Once done the RFA now 3 times for over 6 years and not hurting. And my nerves to my toes are not numb either. There are 2 separate main nerves in your legs. A basic top and bottom of your feet and legs. I used to get numb toes on the bottom of my foot. So just thought let you know about RFA and a good pain management doctor. The doctor can even do a nerve block injections too see if that would work. I would ask to get knocked out as can hurt fairly good without any knock drugs for RFA. Good luck and take care.

[@stevenrose4041]

[@TheBoricua84]

Don’t apologize. Ur good & briefing helps

[@kustommotors8784]

Proud of you Tim. I've been hauling heavy equipment since the early 80's. To this day I still have occasional anxiety. Take a deep breath and just grab the bull by the horns. So to speak. Much love from SC and stay safe driver.

[@RichardBrown-od5sc]

I had a bad feeling about your move to this kind trucking. You were doing well and it was fun to watch till this new endeavor. I'm hoping you start doing better in the near future. Praying for you and your family for Gods blessings.

[@stevesidden9584]

Tim you look good out there stay safe my friend remember that GOD said through him all things are possible you will get through this just put it in his hands and keep driving you will make it GOD had your back and he's your co-pilot God bless stay safe 👍👍

I send prayers to Tim,🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 My wife has anxiety problems and although it’s hard to understand support is a major role in helping her out.❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffreymagyar3990]

I battle with anxiety constantly it sucks nothing worse than when it hit you hard because it does cripple you

[@genewalter5022]

Just keep on trucking. Keep your self healthy. I'm out here rooting for you. It's like getting bucked off, you crawl back on and keep moving forward.

[@burgard2010]

I think I'll call him NORM. Glad you are doing better. Thanks for the vid.

[@philipmichel215]

Tim you are spot on regarding anxiety. Left untreated it will get worse and lead to depression. The urge to isolate and hunker down alone in the dark is what I needed most help with. I joined a men's spiritual group to help get me through those tough times.

[@shonerik2036]

Thanks for being candid and open...I too have had anxiety my whole life. Meds make the depression more manageable but it's a delicate balance...be cool and be safe.

[@scottaylward3670]

Tim after my head on collision while driving a gas tanker and yes there was fatalities. My dad gave me the best advice. And it's helped with my anxiety and ptsd from the accident. His advice was I got bucked off the biggest bull there is. I had 2 choices either lay there and get goard or get up dust myself off and ride that batch. It's what I did and actually went back to hauling fuel and got almost million miles of safe driving. You got this and ride and own that bull 💪

[@briananglesey984]

I was just diagnosed with non epileptic seizures due to stress and anxiety. Not fun and I will pray for you. I love you channel and watch it faithfully. Thank you for what you do!!!

My fiance goes through it daily and the best advice given is to give them all the positive advice possible and big dawg you are a top act and I believe you will make it through this

[@jnichols2839]

Good job getting back on that horse Tim, we love the Gentry family here in south central Kansas, still waiting on a "Golly Bum" tshirt

[@closewatermelon]

Tim, thank you for sharing this. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder about two years ago when I found myself unable to leave to do most of the things I enjoyed due to anxiety. It has been a long road, but I recently just applied for a job again. You said it best, it’s terrifying, and for me I just felt like I wasn’t trying hard enough, and letting it overcome me. Turns out there’s more to it than that sometimes. I would give a lot to never go through it again, but it’s all a lesson.

[@TWR358]

First off, let me say, I love your channel. I am a new subscriber (unfortunately, my first video was of the fire). I am a trucker turned mechanic, fleet lead tech. Ever since I got covid, June of ‘22, I have experienced anxiety. On this video, your symptoms sound almost Identical to mine. You are right, when it hits, it is terrifying. I’ve been medically checked and like you, been given the “you are all good”. My Doctor has started me on Sertraline and Xannax. They help, but I still get episodes. Thank You for the tips to deal with this. Keep up the good work on your channel and God speed on rebuilding your business! 🇺🇸

[@rccrazy5556]

I've had severe anxiety and depression for 25 years now tim and yep. It definitely brings you to your knees and cripples you. Nobody helps me and nobody supports me it's just me and me and the little man running around inside my head. I feel for you brother and unlike me i pray you can get out of it 🙏

[@djxman280]

Keep your head up and stay positive you can do it. Your son got your back out there. Great kid

[@neilmcintosh1200]

You have the guts to tell us. Best of luck with dealing with it all.

[@simonchilton1331]

Hi have had neck problems that sound like yours , it was caused by looking forward all time while driving started stretching ,head tilts etc while driving and helped me , don't do distance like used to so no problem now, be positive you'll sort it I have faith

[@Hazmatt3446]

Only way to face it is head on. Every time I see that FLD makes me nostalgic. I drove one just like it at A&R Transport for years. Dang good truck.

[@brianatchison7825]

I’ve been dealing with anxiety and social anxiety also ptsd from a previous job as well as family tragedies for the last 12 years mine also has to deal with driving and being alone take the good with the bad because one day you feel great the it hits you bad down you are again get ahold of it in the beginning before it spiral’s into a bigger problem keep doing what you’re doing exposure and repetitive action is the cure I know it’s scary it scares me and I’m 43 years old 6 foot 1 340 pounds I sometimes feel like a fool letting this beat me sometimes but I’m still working on it keep your head up and stay strong I’ll pray for you brother

[@scootercarneal9625]

Gotta face it head-on and not be scared! Don't let it control you, control it

[@here-i-am2316]

Tim, appreciate being part of your channel

[@pete379100]

Tim, I know what you’re going through, I’ve suffered from anxiety my entire life. I would not wish this on anybody you can do this. Keep moving forward I wish you and your family the best.

[@kdaniel59]

Sending prayers and love...my wife has struggled with anxiety and depression since I have known her, its tough sometimes but we get through it together. I recently lost my dad in a horrible farming accident, since then I have had my share of struggles with it myself but I got help and some medicine for it. It helps a lot and it's very safe, no side effects or issues with it .

[@andybailey3703]

Tim I quit driving for over a year because of Anxiety and yes you got to face your fears. Thank the good lord for giving me the strength to get back driving. I still have attacks from time to time but I ve learned how too push thru

[@michaellucken695]

Tim ive been where you are!its not a fast run to get to the other side!but you can get there.its fight or flight inside you, i know how you are feeling?like powerless and confused and scared! keep working on managing the stressors in your daily life. i still have spells to this day,but i know what it is and let it run its course.Take care of you and yours Driver.

[@truckingwithwillie4577]

You got this brother and I’m praying for you and all you gotta do is start praying

[@Boone9269]

Tim, im a trucker and also have struggled with anxiety, crippling anxiety. Your brain is a very very powerful tool and it will make you or break you. You have to find something to get your brain retrained and to get your mind off of it. You can't get out of this world alive brother, try and enjoy it. Much love brother.

[@Justflyfreeasabird]

I've been through anxiety thankfully I've got through it be brave you can do it and once you've done it once again it will get easier

[@apollorobb]

Glad you got to jam gears again Looked like a fun trip. Them some good lookn cows .

[@shaw8555]

I deal with anxiety every day have had it for years there are coping excersises that i do that helps me a lot. I was in a bad place for a few years. But I have learned how to cope and different excersises that i can do. I am gonna get back into trucking again look for a good company now but. I had panic attacks to the point that i have passed out full blown hyper ventilating thinking i was dying. Stay strong brother you got this my best advice is stay strong think about the positives and relax when you can brother.

[@pauld3638]

God bless you Tim from the UK be strong and fight with your lovely family .

So when are you going to put Stacks and some Chrome on the Freightliner? Really Happy to see you facing your issue head-on it takes a strong person to be able to do that. Good Luck Brother and I hope you continue to get better and stronger as time goes by. NEVER EVER give up the fight you can beat it!!!

[@tkh251]

Don't apologize man! I think we would all be amazed how many of your subs struggle with the same thing. It's extremely under reported imo. Good on you for posting about it.

[@dieselwrench3621]

You’ll make it through this Tim 👍 just keep that positive attitude

[@paulsawake3369]

Anxiety & panic attacks are NO JOKE! I also have had pinched nerves in my neck. Wound up getting 2 vertebra fused in my neck after trying everything. I know what ur going thru & my prayers go out to u and all others that experience anxiety, depression & panic attacks. Positive thought replacement, my faith, & my wife helped me through it and I'm way better today. God bless.

[@chrisbrowder260]

I totally understand. I had knee surgery about a year ago. I had it in my head if I went to sleep I would die. I didn’t sleep for over 3 days. Thank the lord for my wonderful wife of 38 years, she saved me. I was about to lose my mind. I pray you get over your issues. Be safe my friend.

[@desnye56]

With your leg arm going numb you shouldn't be driving

[@beckyumphrey2626]

I have had the same.issue in the past. Went 5 days with no.sleep and.they almost committed me. Scary.

[@firetruckblack]

I have also had a hard time with anxiety since my brother spent 2 weeks in the hospital with covid and almost died. And the way the world is totally out of control these days. Keep your head up brother .

[@edwardstephens247]

You need to take better care of yourself, Tim! Mental health is ten times worse than physical! I will definitely put you in my prayers brother.

[@talltrucker2682]

Hope and pray your better now. I passed thru there Friday, made it east of Knoxville and truck laced down on me. DEF system on 13 Pete completely failed on me 😬😬😬

[@rasruhmann4463]

I understand where you're coming from I have anxiety too it's a hard thing to go through but just got to face your fears and try to get over it 💯

[@drswaqqinscheckingin7210]

that's shit advice. Everyone who watches this channel is so backwards it seems none of them know or care to understand mental health. Tim needs to see a psychiatrist so he can get ACTUAL advice on how to cope with anxiety. Believe it or not "suck it up and get over it" are not state of the art coping strategies.

[@Travisbroll]

I hit the same spot about a month ago and just cried and the next day I got up and just said it's okay things will get better think positively and don't think negative live in the present not past. Make today good so tomorrow better

[@wirenut003]

Glad your back and rolling down the road Tim. I thought you would buy that first bull, the one walking around doing all the talking.

[@mitchsmith3814]

Keep your head up and 🙏 He will take care of the rest for you and the family.
