I write this advice after watching all of Shaans videos and reading Dr. Claire Weeks' book because it helped me recover. You can overcome this. The main thing is if you made it past 1 month with anxiety, then you already know nothing is going to happen to you. You'll be fine so try not to avoid work, outings, traveling, etc. Keep on living. Don't fight the symptoms. Don't use teas, herbs, weighted blankets, meditation, don't let your body know you're fighting. Think of a time when you were most relaxed. For example, you were watching a movie, sports, just sitting down on the couch, looking at the sky. Think hard on how you were breathing when you were super calm. For me it was soft breathing. No deep breaths, no long exhales. Now, from now on to when you're going through anxiety symptoms and difficult moments, where your adrenaline and cortisol are high, and your symptoms are out of control, BREATH how you would when you were in that calm state. No deep breaths, just calm breaths. All the time. At all moments. Eventually your nervous system will pick up on it, that you're safe and there's no threat and you'll get better. It's easier said than done but it took me a few months to drastically reduce my symptoms. Now they're non-existent. Slowly you'll start to build confidence and reduce fear to when eventually you recover.

I had a relapse last year and struggled so I went to counseling and went back on my meds I had been off of for years. Sadly I had the worst reaction to it and struggled for a month with symptoms of the SSRI. Once I got used to it I had a new symptom. Anytime I was anxious I would feel faint. Eventually went off of them and and the faint feeling went away and am finally getting better and finally understanding that the relapses and issues will keep coming back unless I fix my mental game. You can keep slapping a bandaid on the issue but what do you do when you take that bandaid off? That’s what most of us miss during the recovery process. You can’t bandaid anxiety. You have to overcome it and realize you’ll never be fully healed till you get rid of the anxious thoughts. Until you get rid of the bad behaviors that got you there in the first place.

Going through this today 🥺🥺🥺 it’s the worst. I was okay for 7 years and relapsed. Never thought it was a thing for anxiety.

[@Mr3DPrintWizard]

@@treasure2136 it is. Sadly if you don’t continue to learn how to control stress relapse can happen. The negative thinking, the over the reaction to the simplest of difficulties. It goes away. Just keep working at it.

[@ismailk024]

after watching all videos i almost recovered and did my all bucket list but now again last two months i m going through horrible situation but i know the process lets see hope for the best 👍🏻 best of luck to all..!

[@kazithecanecorso2724]

How are you feeling. Hope you are keeping busy and not anxious

[@jasonoliveira2149]

This parallels my experience in almost every way. I'm at the point of reading and learning about anxiety. I've been on medication for a year and will be seeing a specialized therapist to work on healing past trauma. I feel like the last year has seen my symptoms very slowly decrease and I'm doing everything I can to not become focused on healing and just focus on living.

Thanks so much Shaan for making this video and all of your other videos on anxiety/panic attacks. You are so inspirational and helpful, thanks for providing the proper approaches to anxiety/panic as well - acceptance is key to stop the cycle of it. I personally, most likely inherited panic disorder from my mother(who is in her early 30's, has suffered from PD since she was 11). Fortunately, for me, I started having anxiety attacks just 4 months ago in June. I quickly began researching ways to relieve panic, and came across channels like Therapy in a Nushell, Dr.Mandell, and other videos for it to. All of which have helped change my perspective on panic, the best way to relieve panic is to just embrace it. You are a great person❤

[@armmelter427]

Watching this video out of the anxiety now ❤ Just Fir Info Purpose Thank You Shaan For Guiding your channel helped me alot on my Recovery Journey

[@bouclette2102]

Thank you Shaan, I recognize my own journey ❤ what you share is so helping and precious 🙏🏼🙏🏼💞

💊Your statement truly resonates with my experience. I tried medications for various issues like stomach problems, headaches, vomiting, gastric issues, burning sensations, and more. At one point, I was taking over 20 pills a day but couldn’t even eat half a meal. It became clear that I was being treated the wrong way by my doctor. 🤔That's when I decided to take matters into my own hands and address my anxiety. Slowly but surely, things started to improve. 💪 📣Now, I talk about my journey publicly to help others realize they might be on the wrong path too.💡

[@letrimon]

@@siddeshum3511 sorry i cant make u a decision to stop medichine . in my case medicine was a tool that doesn't worked properly or permanently. in my study anxiety requires knowledge, education , practice . it dosetn means medicine doesn't work . u should better talk to ur doctor if u r thinking medicine is not working for u .

I don't know what I would do without meds. CBT counseling, relaxation techniques haven't been working for me. If I weren't on meds I honestly might be a drunk.

Hi..i have one doubt..does anxiety feel like neurological symptoms..pls reply??

[@treasure2136]

It’s 10000% does! Been suffering for 13 years !

Have you had your b12 tested? B12 deficiency causes neurological issues and horrible mental issues.

Help me please! Ive had 2 months of hell with anxiety which is new. People liem you are helping so much!! Im on clinazepan and want me to take a anti depression pill but so scared to take it ? Do i need pills or just do the recovery steps im so lost i cry everyday because my whole live ive been normal til now

[@johngonzo9671]

Take the medication, read books like Laws of Human Nature but also CBT can help. Find what works for you. I did therapy for years, it can help. But medication can make a difference also.

[@treasure2136]

Take your meds! It’s not forever! I recovered fully for 7 years and relapsed 2 weeks ago and it’s been hell. Started my pills again and I know it’s gonna be ok and it’s a short period of discomfort

Medication is fine. It’s like Shaan says, it’s a tool. Get yourself a base point then apply the principlz he talks about. You’ll be okay.

Please be careful with benzodiazapines

My daughter is 15 years old, and she was given beta blockers for her anxiety. I don't really see effect may be a bit to treat panic attacks. Was someone treated with beta blockers?

[@ManuelVega-x1e]

I take beta blockers They just take the psyical symptoms away like panic attacks but SSRI take away the over thinking etc.

[@KathyChapman-y9g]

Can anxiety cause low neurotransmitters?

[@miatapony16]

Your naturopath sounds a lot like the many that I have brought into my life to try to help me with my anxiety. For some reason it seems like they get offended when you tell them the supplements aren't working for you. I was put on Gabba, l-theanine, motherwort. The Magnesium seemed to take the edge off at least with the rest of them I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I was very Pro natural path but after having absolutely no success with anything they prescribed me I'm a bit hesitant to try one again

[@byebyepanic]

I felt the same way!

[@Kuttystoryvoice]

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

Sounds like you maybe were a hypochondriac too, geez that’s a lot. Lexapro helps w impulses and anxiety. Slow and steady though, and it’s an SSRI, for anyone who doesn’t know.
