Running Towards Fear: Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks | EP 035

[@omarvazquez3355]

The running towards technique has helped me the most. I went as far as buying a plane ticket just to return 2 hours later so i could be in a plane.

[@UnacceptableTee]

Good job!! 🙌🏻 I love this. How was it for you. I have extreme anxiety flying. Only did it once. 😞 Did you have anxiety? Or was it ok?

I watched my father have a widowmaker heart attack and was the only reason he survived--it was my awareness and responsiveness that got him to the ER in time and allowed him to live. I can't help but be hypervigilant for myself because of this, and whenever I experience a panic attack, I am immediately transported back to my father's incident. It's so hard to let go of fear and know that I'm not in danger in the way he was. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in this cycle

I used to sweat profusely and it ruined my social life. I was at an event and saw some other guy sweating like crazy but having a great time. Everyone was talking to him and they were all laughing and having fun. I finally said fuck it and just let myself sweat. After doing this a few times I rarely sweat in social situations. Nobody gives a shit and I spend 16yrs hiding for no reason

[@SandungaLuna]

Thank you for this comment, I’m just now getting comfortable with the sweating lol now I just try to let it happen and not judge it. Yes, I’ve seen people sweating before and not caring about it, like teachers even and people at work and it’s okay 🙂

[@PhotoBob]

@@SandungaLuna hope it works out. I know it’s a terrible feeling and super frustrating. Best of luck to you in your journey!!!!!

Random thoughts are same as dreaming…they just are….. a process in how the brain just works let them be …accept and allow

I black out with anxiety/panic - so i avoid a lot to avoid fainting - im 62 and was doing ok for a few years caring for my parents - they both recently died and anxiety severe and now im having shaking anxiety like ive never had before because im alone in the world and afraid to go out due to fainting possibility.......im not working and i spend my days in an anxiety state which is long and depressing.

[@japplesin]

I feel for you. Acknowledge that you have gone through a traumatic experience of losing your parents. Caring for them had kept you focus on them rather than mostly on your anxiety. Now that you are alone it can be a very very scary experience. Get all the help you can find ( many online) to widen your understanding on this topic. Be patient with yourself, it takes effort to heal. Your black out and fainting spell can be due to severe anxiety. Have a doctor check it out. As you slowly heal, the physical symptoms may go away. Be well.

I have developed panic and anxiety when I go to take a shower or bath ,how do I overcome this problem it is also not a nice thing to talk about

[@pedrom8831]

So confusing - So defuse, create space, allow and don’t focus on, but also run towards. It’s no wonder people are anxious

[@hidiyakikliuka2792]

My feet hands and arm pits go nuts for weeks months after the panic attack

[@allenharslett7269]

Ives me ANXIETY!!😮

[@anthon6661]

oh yeah new topic ( anxiety) 😂

[@ivannovoselac3518]

Running towards it for last 10 years and it do nothing for me. It is stupid protection mechanism that makes you not want to live this agony anymore and end it once for all, so it not protects you in the fact. Basicly it is opposite!

[@kamaltahir6440]

Brother try an H pylori test, that thing messes you up. I started getting panic attacks and anxiety 5 months ago and had no idea why. I did a medical check up and the only thing that came up was h pylori. Turns out it can cause extra gut problems like depression, anxiety, panic attacks.

[@z.s3072]

@@kamaltahir6440 So what was your treatment? Did it help? Thanks.

[@kamaltahir6440]

@@z.s3072 i was prescribed the triple therapy, yes it did alot. I'm doing a retest in about a week.

[@oohellosaweenaoo]

@@kamaltahir6440ever since I had h pylori my stomach never felt the same since and that created a different anxiety to be checking the stomach sensation and the “what if” it comes back. I get it check/tested every year. But then I have a functional doctor and even psychiatrist say there’s people with h pylori that never give them any symptoms. But yea it always scare me with any stomach discomfort….

[@Caribe78]

​@@kamaltahir6440Probiotics can help good ones

[@allenharslett7269]
