My Story of Anxiety and Panic Part 2

This is part 2...I hope this gives you all a deeper look into my reasoning for doing what I do!! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@raelovesdirt]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and showing us that this can get better. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic disorder for about 5 months now. Your video echoes my experience in so many ways. Prior to the start of this whole mess, I was a smart, confident, healthy 33 year old who finished a master's degree, was recently married, and had a good career. It took one panic attack followed by numerous symptoms that sent me spiraling into what now, seems like the shell of my former self. I am sick and tired of being so fuckin sick and tired, but your video has helped me to see the sun poke through the clouds. I look forward to watching them all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, your words are truly making a difference. Here's to getting my life back...

[@chekeshag25]

Took the words right out my mouth, truly amazing you go girl!

[@maclover1524]

Raelene Bautista Go to Amazon and order the book, "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Dr. Claire Weekes. The book has the answers. It worked for my son who had suffered with anxiety attacks (and he was the last one you'd ever figure would have this kind of problem). Dr. Weekes is reknown for her work. It's very simple and almost seems too simple but believe me it works!!! I have absolutely NO affiliation with Dr. Weekes. The good doctor died I think in the 1990's but her work is amazing. God bless you.

Thanks for these videos mate. Has helped me ALOT and put my mind at ease! Next time I get the pains in the chest I can just say to myself "Its Anxiety" and not let it take over! So many things in this video are exactly the same as what I had. 28 years old, lost my job and girlfriend, Web MD every symptom. Its good to know there are people out there the same

[@CurtiZSe7eN]

Ive seen this video a few times now. its very inspirational mate! Definitely one of the best videos ever made about anxiety

[@shawnadenny3817]

Your absolutely amazing ! Love your videos ...love the honesty! Feels good to hear someone else talking about same problems as i have ...thank you for these videos

[@Diggler056]

shawna denny Thank you! Yes the honesty is what allows me to make sense of all this...Also if we were honest with ourselves and didn't allow the fear to create irrational thoughts we would all be Anxiety free

[@joeyseal9189]

+Diggler056 I know it sounds crazy I watch these videos every night the kinda help reel me back into normality I went through the same thing years ago in my early twenties for about 5 years lost good jobs friends relationships finally I defeated this thing years later now I am 34 and I have started having a recurrence any motivation tips or advice would be greatly appreciated once again thank you for all the videos and for sharing your story.

[@tabithahunt6693]

Thank you for starting this channel. It has been by far one of the most helpful videos I've seen.

[@Conayo100]

Hey Bro! I sat here for sometime (almost a week and half now) viewing your youtube post, all of them). I want to truly thank you for sharing your experience anxiety and over coming it. I definitely thought i was alone and no one would understand me. I have been suffering or dealing with anxiety ever since the 28th of September 2014 (almost a month now). On that date, i had my first anxiety attack and the second one, on the 1st of Oct and many more soon after. I really need someone to talk to because i have been thinking negative thoughts thus far, plus i do have a fear of dying. I feel as though i am living in a nightmare and can't wake up from it. I can't work, i can't drive, i can't do the simple normal daily things i am used to doing. My life is at a stand still right now and feel physically and mentally out of place. I've been back and forth to the ER countless times and still the doc, can't find anything wrong with me. Nevertheless, i am bless and grateful for not having any medical issues besides high blood pressure. I really need your help Diggler056, someone to talk to in helping me manage my anxiety and hopefully soon, overcoming it I am a 30 year old male from Chicago, IL and feel as though i am losing control of myself more as the days and weeks and months go by. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks Chalres

[@kareenelizee]

Thank you for sharing. I think you just save my life. I was going down the same road as you did. In and out the hospital, multiple doctors, was told I have MS by one of my neurology based on my symptoms. You have helped me more than any doctor did.

[@CurtiZSe7eN]

WOW!!! What a truly inspiring story! Thanks for sharing your story......just wanna say watching your videos has been helping me so much. These two video's are brilliant

[@codyhanson703]

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I am very thankful for stumbling by your videos. I am just at the beginning stage of all this. I'm 23 years old and just started having repeat panic/anxiety attacks on a daily basis for the last few months. I went to the hospital thinking I was having an allergic reaction because I couldn't breathe and that is what triggered this constant loop. my mother has had this disorder her whole life, so THANK GOD I came to conclusion myself very quickly rather than not knowing what the hell was going on. Anyways, your videos are really helping me "learn my enemy" and I'm not going to let it ruin my life. You are very inspirational and if your ever have time to maybe talk to me and help me get out of this slump, I'd be willing to do so. Thanks

[@gimariemarchese]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Like you, I've been struggling with similar mental health issues from a young age. Just knowing that you've cultivated change in your mind and life is such an inspiration in itself. Thank you.

[@johnatherton4378]

Hi Diggler, just to let you know I revisit your videos from time to time just to keep myself in check, I'm not cured of this as such but I am a hell of a lot better than I used to be, thanks for all your help and I hope you too are a lot better, take care.

[@billiejodix4802]

I'm jealous of those who don't have anxiety and panic attacks

[@JoshP037]

What you describe sounds exactly like what I went through almost 20 years ago when I was 19-20. It basically hit me out of nowhere and I had no idea what it was at the time. Neither did anyone else... Since then I have had ups and downs and led a productive life, but anxiety has never really left me. I want to have a better quality of life though, and I'm not going to stop trying. :| Thank you for sharing your story. It's very inspirational.

[@nuggets1356]

im just curious, i have anxiety and dpdr and i have to be in georgia for 2 weeks for a job. i fear flying and that being away from home and my parents that something very bad will happen to me. like what if my heart races and i die or something. that shit scares me so bad. any tips on how to not feel that way?

[@joycet.3040]

I know exactly what you went through. I have been listening to positive thinkers on KZbin like Joseph Murphy, Norman Vincent Peale and they do help. Here is one tip if you can't fall asleep at night. Find something to count. I count how many towns that are in my county. It generally gets my mind off my anxiety and I go to sleep before I am finished.

[@DaSilencer78]

WOW!!!! I'm blown away and for some reason, as a sufferer or anxiety and panic disorder, I feel great to know that I'm not alone. I'm a subsriber and I'm hoping we could chat sometime. My symptoms just started this July and just like you, I'm pretty analytic and I could sure use some answers. Thanks

[@jairusvolkmann7231]

How can I contact you man? I'm at rock bottom and feel exactly how you did

[@ifatizer7782]

Thank you for sharing your story and journey! Do you think you can still overcome anxiety after over 15 years of it?

[@Slaytounge]

I needed to hear this.

[@alonsocarrillo5622]

Because of things like this our generation. Or my generation, can get over Panic and Anxiety a lot sooner than usual. Its interesting my mom friends got thru things like that a little. But they told me, "we understand" although i felt like they didnt. They told me to ignore all those thoughts and to distract myself. One thing that helped me was no lie video games and whispering under my breath "relax its nothing". If you whisper to yourself "relax its nothing" while doing something productive even if it scares you. you'll feel a lot better. Youll notice a huge difference. but keep in mind. Once you start think negative thoughts youll spike your anxiety back up but it wont be as bad.

[@amynicole77]

I have the same thing. It has consumed my whole life and still does. I have been dealing with anxiety since 2008. I take 1mg of extended release xanax two times a day along with regular xanax at 1 mg. I have developed a social anxiety problem over the years as well. It effects my health my mind and my job. It's the hardest thing EVER to try to describe to people on how your feeling and I'm so sick of telling everyone close to me that I don't feel good. I'm not depressed which I'm so thankful for but I'd almost take depression over this debilitating anxiety. I love seeing videos of people that speak my language and understand how I feel everyday and what I deal with. I pray everyday fir this to leave me so I can go back to being the carefree outgoing person once was! I hope you read this and I hope it helps to know your so not alone.

[@tracystandish3420]

Did the Xanax help?

[@victoriacampbell4412]

Just surrender to the condition. Let the symptoms not matter. Don't be impressed by the symptoms. They dissapear over time. And don't look at the calendar and count the months either. Let time pass

[@luisvenegas5308]

Thank you that’s what I need to do

[@sherirobertson6045]

What tools do u use??????.?.

[@CurtiZSe7eN]

I don't want to sound annoying because I've asked you a few times, is there a way i could get in contact with you for help? Im a 27 male going through pretty much the same exact things you felt with. Any help would be appreciated!

[@Diggler056]

CurtiZSe7eN I have been meaning to get back with you Curtiz, I just finished up with a client and we are moving to Monthly sessions so that opens up some time for us to chat. I prefer to focus on a set amount of cases at a time so I can give as much time to those folks as possible. Shoot me a PM and we can set something up. Thank you for your continued support...it means alot!!

[@ClayRodgers1961]

Thanks for sharing. It helps to know someone actually kicked this DEMON'S ass. If you can do it so can I! Thanks again...REALLY.

[@huertafabian68]

I actually got my first anxiety attack at work I had to quit it because the nex day I felt strange and I had to mist work several times that I got laid off and now it's hard for me to go find a job and get back on track ... What do u think I should do because my past with anxiety holds me back from working again can u give me some advise on that thanks

[@Diggler056]

Hey Fabian, well of course I would recommend seeing your doctor simply to dismiss a medical condition as being the root cause...usually isn't the case but always good to be sure. If cleared then you can tackle this for what it is...Anxiety...Someone with anxiety needs to understand and come to terms with the fact that these symptoms and feelings/fear are only a product of our own thinking patterns. With that, it is a must for you to journal and dive deep into what it is your afraid of or what is it your mind is trying to distract you from. Finding out the root cause is not easy i admit...but that combined with a good nutritional over hall and exercise will help immensely. Track your eating habits and try to identify any vitamin deficiencies as well. The list goes on...but down to brass tacks...you have to be willing to fight for your life back...bottom line. Employing a solid doctor that is well versed or better yet specializes in anxiety disorders or getting a anxiety coach will help expedite the process. Myself I did my own research and it took me years and years to figure this thing out. I do teach and mentor as well so that is an option....feel free to message me...good luck to you

[@c0ym4x]

hi sir. I wonder how you are doing now? did u find a new job

[@jjohnson7657]

Thank you so much for this.

[@josieduchscher]

[@dionusos2]

Diggler, my problem is that i get sensitization (heightened anxiety all day) now that i had a panic attack which makes me more susceptible to one in the car, where i get them

[@daddymac9675]

bro im with you continue to pray god bless !

[@sweetdreams5587]

Dude - You are so spot on....You nailed this. I have done the same things you are speaking of. You were just trying to survive. I have lost alot of time as well. You have to think of this....You learned so much in those times... lol...@ even...omg i so so have those same thoughts as well...i have thought that same thing... Like how can I make all of this worth it...like it all wasn't for nothing.

[@shawnadenny3817]

I think your absolutely right a lot of people dont want to talk about their anxiety and panic ...i know i dont it makes me feel weak ...but hearing about it from people like you makes me feel much better :) .... thanks for the link to fb ...i said it once ill say it again your awesome i would love if you wanna add me to your friends on fb shawna lakey denny

[@Cat-bz7tm]

A lot of anxiety is caused by taking on difficult uni courses jobs etc, before you have addressed anxiety ,and are ready to cope with that work and pressure, . Lots of practise of the work , while getting support for anxiety at the same time ,can help . More caring work and education establishments are needed to correct this

[@jreal1984]

Thanks for sharing

[@gwennburchins8573]

Hey Diggler Really need your help. Know you are a busy guy. I am a older woman have had this since I was 16yrs. Old. Just do not know what to do , listen to you all the time (Thank You) it is pure HELL!!!! I will love to talk to you. My name In initials isGDB if you ever send me a message. Thank You so very much.

[@flygirl19891]

Thank you. As someone who has tried the pills, tried all the typical cbt techniques and tried the "brain sync" music, This is the first solace I have found. Being a female I'm used to being "the worrier"so when I have panic attacks everyone just seems to think i am overreacting. Its nice to see I'm not alone. I have subscribed to your page and look forward to your videos. I hope one day I can overcome this stupid debilitating condition and be myself again. I think your videos might be how this happens.
