Stop Struggling with Anxiety & Come Back to Calm (soft-spoken ASMR)

[@ginnyburley9552]

Every time I see a new video from you, I feel calm. What a gift to hear your voice and thoughts!

[@ASMR-healing]

I feel that way about a few channels, and I'm touched that you feel that way about my videos. Thank you 🙏🏻

Hey. I have both severe social anxiety disorder and general anxiety Disorder mixed with depression and PTSD, I'm also on the autism spectrum, I've done tons of therapy over the last fifteen years cbt, DBT, and sometimes no matter how much I use the taught techniques and saw countless professionals, nothing relieves it. This was genuinely soothing when I really need it most right now. I can't Express how grateful I am to you. Thank you for being so sincere and caring. 😊 You are a remarkable source of wisdom and compassion. Not many can be this aware and provide insight and comfort for anxiety, they try to just talk you out of it, or make you feel like it's not real or you're just "dramatic" or too sensitive. You aren't at all demeaning or Devaluing. 😊 Thanks ! 😊

[@Leeroy___]

You're not alone. I have GAD mixed with depression too. ❤ its shitty and almost impossible to love yourself with it, but baby steps... and constant reassurance makes it just bearable. You're not alone. ❤

[@ASMR-healing]

@shelbyhxo it can be so frustrating to try different techniques and not see much or any improvement. I'm glad my video helped. I create these videos for the exact reasons you mentioned. It's obvious when someone talks about anxiety who hasn't lived with it. They just can't understand the level of compassion and comfort people who deal with anxiety need. Anxiety is a comfort and compassion desert. And then to have someone make you feel like you're just being dramatic or you're too sensitive compounds the lack of comfort by 100x. If there's any topics or questions you'd like me to cover, please let me know!

[@shelbyhxo]

​@@ASMR-healingthank you so much for replying! I would really enjoy/appreciate if you could make a video about a question I'm interested in your opinion on, how can I stop feeling like a burden to everyone? I sometimes feel like I'm just a massive burden to my family and the people who know me. So I try to bear the burdens of everything I mentioned on my own with our asking for help. As I mentioned, I have tried all kinds of therapy, I've been on tons of different medications, and I've found my one true relief is my athletic hobbies. I'm a long distance, marathon runner, nothing makes me happier then my morning run 😊 I was made for running haha 😂 I spend lots of time at the gym strength training, I enjoy cycling, I'm an avid yogi/ 200 hour certified yoga teacher as well, I do yoga everyday, but sometimes I still need more, to feel better, but when I do I struggle to ask for what I need to feel, supported, better. What can I do to stop feeling a burden to everyone for simply being me?

[@shelbyhxo]

​@@ASMR-healingalso, could you make a video about panic attacks, in specific, I have daily panic attacks and I'd love to hear a soothing, advice/ affirmation style that isn't simply "everything is okay" because the ones on KZbin are very unrealistic and actually make me feel worse, sometimes you need that space but it's too hard to ask family or friends. Personally I live far away from my two dearest and only true friends, and my family is very far away, besides my parents, I sometimes just want that outside perspective of care that isn't simply, you're okay, everything is great, when it isn't at all. I'm embarrassed to ask I'm sorry

[@ASMR-healing]

​@@shelbyhxo thanks for the follow-ups. Oh, these are such good questions! When I started with this anxiety video (and a few more coming soon), I debated whether I should focus on panic or anxiety. I'll add panic to my list. I have a lot to share that has helped me. It's great that exercise has been such a help to you, but like you said, you still need support from others. The burden question is very common and understandable. I'm touching on it in a future video, and I was just thinking earlier today about a full video for it. So your question decided it :) I'd love to know more about why you feel like a massive burden to your family and friends? Have they given you feedback that they feel burdened? Do they complain about it? Or is it more of your own internal dialogue that stops you from asking for support? I'd also love to know what kinds of support you feel you need. Is it emotional support? Talking over how to manage what's going on for you? Thanks again for what you've shared 🙏

[@brosa79]

You have the most perfect timing ❤

[@ricardolopez9309]

Your videos always seem to strike the exact right chord in terms of your timing, your message, and your gentle tone. Amazing. ❤ Thank you for everything that you do. I has been a while since I've felt this safe, relaxed and cared-for... 😊 Thank you!

[@ASMR-healing]

Wow, I'm so touched by your comment. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@EmbracerOfChaos]

I needed this. Anxiety and depression have been kicking my butt for awhile now. Thank you for the help!

[@ASMR-healing]

I know how that feels. I'm so glad my video helped! I'm planning to make more about anxiety. If there's anything in particular you'd like me to cover, please let me know 🙏🏻

[@EmbracerOfChaos]

@ASMR-healing thank you! I'm working a lot on letting my heart be in charge. I'm a very emotional person, and my brain really needs to take a back seat.

[@ASMR-healing]

@ I love the way you put that. I'll see what I can come up with to support you 🩵

[@EmbracerOfChaos]

@@ASMR-healing thank you so much! I wasn't sure that would make sense.

[@SindanSeen]

Welcome back ! You’re looking so healthy , I hope you’re doing well , thank you so much for providing the purest, gentlest asmr videos on youtube , I sleep daily with your videos on repeat 🩵

[@ASMR-healing]

I'm doing a lot better now, thank you. You always leave such kind comments, and this one is no exception. I'm touched, thank you 🙏🏻💜✨

[@petercourtien4581]

I listened to this on a loop. I dozed in and out. I think it played four times. Magnificent! 😊❤️

[@ASMR-healing]

I'm glad you liked it, Peter! I'm planning to do more like this one. I like this format: some breathing, some educational content, some affirmations, and a wind down at the end.

[@happyoldcrone8687]

I was so happy to get the notification of your latest video. Your calming voice and genuine care resonate.

Work has been so difficult for me lately and your videos have been helping me get through it 😣 thank you so much for all the work you do and effort you put in!! 😊✨🎀🦄

[@ASMR-healing]

I'm glad they're helping. I hope your work situation gets better soon. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to cover in a future video 🙏🏻🌟

[@maidoforleans1412]

@ Thank you 💖 I think a video going over another poem that you enjoy or some of your favorite books would be very relaxing ^-^ I really liked the poem you shared with us and it would be interesting to see more works resonate with you 🙂‍↕️💖✨☃️

[@ASMR-healing]

@@maidoforleans1412 Great, I'll give that some thought. Thank you 🙏🏻💚

[@amymyers5503]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. One method I've been using since I was a teenager is reciting the Litany Against Fear from Dune [the complete litany, not the short versions in the movies]. Some days are like the Gom Jabbar test. The litanty is powrful. Let the fear pass over and through you. After it passes, see that you remain. You can withstand the storm of emotions. You are strong.

[@lauracole5268]

[@EarthlingDontWorry]

Deeply valuable insight, and I appreciate how calming and gentle you presented it💙

[@TitaniteHydra]

5am, can't sleep. Got in bed 3 hours ago. On the cusp of sleep, I fell into a hole. The last couple of hours has been a troubling time full of worry, memories, and regret- Exploring houses from my childhood in my mind. Friends I've lost, mistakes I've made. This, atop a painful and so far unsuccessful job hunt after losing what I had 2 months ago, meant quite a storm. Thank you for rescuing me from it. I'll try to sleep, with your voice to keep me from wandering away.

[@ASMR-healing]

I'm sorry you're dealing with job hunting. That can be very stressful and can push some very big buttons around survival, worthiness, feeling likable, etc. I'm glad my video was helping. I hope you got some sleep.

[@TitaniteHydra]

@@ASMR-healing Got to bed about an hour after posting that. Life's stressful, and continues to be a storm that strikes the soul pallid and drained, but little things like a calming presence and a guiding hand help immensely. Your videos have a direct effect on many lives- A moment of peace and clarity within life's chaos.

[@ASMR-healing]

@@TitaniteHydra I'm glad you got some sleep. It's amazing how a calming presence can have such an impact on us. I'm so glad my video could be that for you.

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@courtneyhoward399]

Thank you. I needed this video.

[@katgilbert9732]

This is hands down THE BEST video I have ever listened to regarding anxiety. As you know, I have been a massive fan of your work since my first listen. This is above and beyond my friend. I am actually failing to find the words appropriate to tell you how amazing this is. If I can do ANYTHING at all to get you heard all around Australia, you tell me what to do and I will do it. Much love. ❤️

[@ASMR-healing]

Thank you so much, Kat! I appreciate every one of your comments. I'm so glad you liked this one, because this is the direction I want to go -- more "educational" with anxiety being the main topic or one of the main topics. I've been to Australia once (Sydney) and loved it! If I can think of anything you can do, I'll let you know 🙏💙

[@katgilbert9732]

@@ASMR-healingplease do my friend. I would be honoured to help in any way I can. We appreciate you so very much! ❤ I grew up in Melbourne, have lived in Perth and now reside in country NSW next to the beautiful Murrumbidgee River. So peaceful. As I have mentioned previously, I have enjoyed each and every one of your videos but this one really hit the ball out of the ball park! lol! The comments received said it all didn’t they?! You are a gem and yes, I am thrilled that you are continuing on this path. You are amazingly fabulous at it! Peace be with you 🐝 😀 😽

Sadly I don't believe that "letting go of the rope" is anything other than capitulation to the feelings inside. You're right though, you cannot win against your feelings, so there really is no point trying. I guess I just have to tolerate them making every waking moment a total mess. The feelings win,....always.

[@graham3490]

thoughts must take precedence. you must reformat your thought pattern and perspective

[@amymyers5503]

If the rope metaphor doesn't work for you, find another one and keep trying until you find one that works. Do you know what happens in a tug of war when your side lets go of the rope? All the energy the other side expends rebounds on them and they fall down. It's funny to visualize. Sometimes I think about a Newton's cradle toy - with the metallic balls that swing back and forth. You are the central ball. You remain still. Eventually the swinging balls run out of kinetic energy and you remain still in the center. Hope that helps.

[@bowenmotley2688]

I goon to this

[@mysticmisthios]

What a strange game. The only way to win is not to play. HOW ABOUT A GAME OF CHESS
