A therapist described it to me as your "lizard brain"-- your primitive reactionary center (autonomic nervous system) highjacking your brain. If you can over-rule it and talk yourself down, using mindfulness, you can settle it down. Easier said than done, of course, but not impossible.

[@jorgebeltran1762]

Anxiety is caused by constant stress. You brain gets stuck in a fearful state. Then you fear your anxiety and all the symptoms it causes. You end up in an endless cycle you can't get out of. Once you stop fearing anxiety and stop fighting it. Then you'll start to heal. You have to overcome your fears daily. Just remember. It takes time. Little by Little you'll feel an improvement. Stop being afraid of being afraid. It'll get better.

[@TonyaA7]

Dr.Caroline Leaf says them meds are harmful to the brain . She says they even cause worse issues etc. She also says anxiety, depression, etc is not a diseas or disorder. Its actually a response to thought patterns that havent been dealt with. The way to overcome is to deal with and rewire the brian theough the mind by remewing the mind with truth and life and casting out the negativity... It also has alot to do with perspective.. One can change how we see a situation from the past that started the anxiety and as we choose to no longer respobd negatively in time the anxiety will go away. Check out her channel . She also has books n stuff also.. She's a Brain specialist.

I have been struggling with my anxiety a lot lately, I’m just here to let you guys know it does get better. The few tips that helped me move through it were. 1. Anxiety is an emotion not an illness. It’s ok to feel anxious sometimes, there is good anxiety. 2. Sit down with yourself when your anxious and write down why, now face that fear. Mine started with, I am anxious because I don’t want to always fear everything. This slowly started to go away because you physically cannot feel like this 24/7. Lastly, prayer helped me the most. Remind yourself you are strong, you are not alone on this journey, and all things are possible with God on your side. I love you all who are going though this, keep your head up. You are needed here, you are loved, this too shall pass. ❤️

[@zeusincoming1279]

Christina Pickett I think fear and worry are double edged swords, those being servival mechanisms, and if we do not feel we have the emotional tools to deal, fear and worry turns into anxiety, and to me anxiety is a prolonged sense of fear and worry. But I value the "Serenity prayer" when I sense anxiety coming on. Knowing how to react or not react to any given situation is key!

Here are 10 tips I have for dealing with anxiety: 1) Find the trigger and confront it. Running away from the problem rarely solves anything in the long term, but confronting your problems may help reduce the effects of a potential trigger. For example if you repeatedly but yourself in a situation out of your comfort zone, such as with public speaking, then the stress reaction elicited may reduce over time, and as a result it will not be as terrifying to do a class presentation or such (exposure therapy). 2) Harness anxiety by turning the negative into a positive, e.g. if stressed about workload, get it done rather than procrastinating. Or use your experience of anxiety to help others with similar problems. 3) Find a distraction. If you are plagued with negative thoughts, then do activities which prevent you from focusing on negativity, i.e. keep yourself busy. 4) Invest yourself in a hobby, read a book which you feel will enlighten you in some way or start a routine of going gym or playing sports to build confidence and increase endorphins. This also links in with goal-setting. If you set a goal and achieve it then you will get a boost in neurotransmitters responsible for a good mood. 5) Maintain a social network. Often anxiety can make you feel isolated so discussing these problems with a good listener can help you feel connected. Some people may shy away from this in fears of upsetting the recipient. If this is the case then only give a limited account of what is wrong. For example, if you do not want to say that you are suffering from depression/anxiety because you feel they wont understand or will find it distressing, explain it as being worried but not being sure what the cause is. 6) Act as a self-therapist. Personally I wouldn’t want to pay for a therapist as the money I lose may increase my anxiety - because I’m cheap lol, but you may not even need a professional to listen to your problems. Talking to yourself about your problems and brainstorming ideas out load regarding what may help alleviate negative symptoms may help you. Personally I found it useful to go over my thoughts out loud while having a shower or lying down (provided you’re in a private and comfortable setting). 7) Remember other people (even celebrities) are going through the same thing 8) Understand that life is full of tests. Maybe these trials happen for a reason? 9) Music can help, especially when artists discuss issues relevant to what you’re going through. Personally I find Kid Cudi a good listen (Soundtrack to my Life, Reborn, Cudi Montage etc.). 10) Spiritual contentment. Perhaps religiosity can help relieve feelings of emptiness. -Emre

[@PrisyxD]

@@DirtRoad83 I just read your response and wanted to ask you a question. I hope you take this with no offense but have you tried Lexapro? I had such severe anxiety where I couldn’t wear shoes because I the hard surface of the soles would make me feel I was going to crush my tongue. My anxiety stemmed around my tongue. I wasn’t even able to say that word or even spell it out. I was over conscious of it being there and took it to a whole mother level. If I went out, I’d have to wear slippers and pat every door in every aisle of any grocery store I went to. I couldn’t walk long distances because I would thing I was never going to get to my destination and be fearful every step. I would spit on my shirt as a self soothing gesture. I would also become voiceless, couldn’t speak and not talk with anyone and had to hide. I would try to be as barefoot as possible. I take medication now and it changed my life completely. I can wear shoes again, walk far distances, everything changed. But sometimes like if I drink too much caffeine, it comes rushing back and I still have a hard time sleeping. But I hope you find peace and figure something out for yourself. I just wanted to share my experience so you know you’re not alone

[@FlowersandNature852]

​@@DirtRoad83pls do Gyan mudra/Chin mudra everyday. In a severe case like yours, you need to make it a priority. 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in evening is best for you. It's scientifically proven that Gyan mudra can cure all mental problems. Just do it for a week and you'll start seeing changes. I promise. Join your thumb and first finger together with a slight pressure(not over pressure, also make sure your hand is relaxed and don't have pressure anywhere else, and keep your spine straight either in a sitting or lying position). I do it everyday and it has changed me.

[@FlowersandNature852]

​@@PrisyxDyou can try yoga(especially pranayam and meditation). It will give a permanent relief. There's even evidence that meditation can change your brain within 6 weeks. Also, couple it with chin mudra/Gyan mudra. You can start seeing your mind relax by just doing this mudra for 15 minutes, but the longer, the better.

There are a lot of ways that social anxiety manifests itself. The #1 thing for us to start with is understanding where social anxiety comes from. It actually doesn’t come from society. And the label of SAD is a little bit deceiving. It actually comes from your core underlying beliefs about yourself. Let’s break down some of these beliefs. 1 - Unconditional Self-Love It is the sense of accepting yourself fully, being present to the moment, loving yourself as you are without guilt . Once you are able to do that you become immune to the SAD. There is no reason for you to be anxious. 2 - Your Individuality You truly are unique. There is nobody else like you in the entire universe. The sooner you are going to realize that and be able to combine that with USL the sooner you won’t be bothered by any social interactions or events. 3 - Your Emotions It is your ability to express and feel emotions freely and to not feel guilt about that. Emotions are a part of your individuality, your self-love. And be able to express emotions if you are alone or in a social setting. Without having to apologize or justify your emotions. 4 - Finding Solitude There are 2 spectrums. Being alone and longing for company or being always surrounded by people and longing for some alone time. Both of the sides to the spectrum have the same root that your core beliefs of USL, Individuality and emotions are miscalibrated. If they all were set right you would be happy, and not anxious right now. Master Kit is a clinically proven system to show results when working with a mental state. Thank you for posting ❤️

[@themimsy]

Anxiety. Fear for my next test? Fear for what kids will say about me? Fear over nothing. Overwhelming, panic, fear, worry, self deprecation. Crying, hyperventilating, my depression mixing with my anxiety, my asthma worsening the hyperventilating. No clue why, no clue how to stop. I pray. I give my worries to God. I beg Him to take my burden, my yoke of anxiety for whatever happens, or for nothing. It's not immediately gone, but when I think about it and talk to Him, I feel it slowly lifting off of me. As if a heavy, immovable weighted blanket was being lifted off of me, allowing me to run and move again. Thank you God, please continue your work and show people your love and helping hands.

I believe anxiety is a double edged sword, it can motivate us to do better,or cause us to sabotage ourselves. I for one have experienced both. I have stressed job interviews so much,I did not even go to them, and I have stressed jobs so much I have chosen to walk off even though I had no other income at the time. AND there has been times stress has pushed me out of bed and motivated to do something about my financial situation.

oh gosh, I was the same too, since 3rd grade.... I would feel a terrible pain in my chest and they all thought it was milk intolerance and I had no idea it was anxiety... but my parents never considered ( or maybe did not want to consider) I had social anxiety, but it kept getting worse to the point at high school I could not talk during exams anymore. My family and I normalized it, labeled it as "insecurity". You were lucky your parents did help you. Last year I went back to school and I am in so much fear every time I have to face an exam I start shaking and I paralyze. I started therapy now that I am 30, and I feel more accepting of myself. But I have no balls to tell my family I was diagnosed with anxiety.

Anxiety isn't a weakness, it's your body's way of telling you to grow.❤

[@paulwoodclientvideos5507]

Epic video Jonas, I am glad you have got over your panic attacks. This kid is 100% right that exposure therapy is better than drugs or talking therapy.... But that is really only scratching the surface, the rabbit hole goes far deeper than you can ever imagine.

[@francismausley7239]

Positive prayer can help... "O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord." - Inspired by a Baha'i Prayer

Anyone feels like their heart stops? Or just me

[@aklm6146]

I do. Because I have anxiety. But trust me on this brother. MEDITATE! Believe me!

[@bravo1117]

Ken Manzon How do you meditate?

[@aklm6146]

@@bravo1117 I'm very new at it. But I went on KZbin and searched meditation for anxiety and I found this one video that really helped me and the way I view my situation. Just find a place in your house that's quiet, that could help you focus. There's a lot of guided meditation on KZbin. It's best if you have earphones so it's all you can hear. Goodluck bro

[@aklm6146]

o search up. Let go of anxiety, fear and worries on KZbin it should be a 22 min. Video

[@ComoDibujarTodo]

Not like it stops, but more like it's beating irregularly and more intense

A well spoken young man Thank you!

[@Pedro-kq5tl]

I don't know what triggers me I'm always anxious. I don't know what I fear and what should I face

[@makolliemine]

Pedro Viteri exactly how I feel

[@sandradeslauriers7244]

Me too

[@iheartmilacat]

I understand this I have anxiety myself. this is my second year having anxiety. you are not the only one. don't forget help is always out their.

[@oooweebaby4483]

Honestly sounds a lot more confident than many 15 years olds today. I think the lifestyle encourages a lot more anxiety today - non-stop distraction from health social interaction. A lot of communication is simply more defensive today too unfortunately, even with adults.

[@morufyusufadewale3187]

i am 27 years old, getting older day by day, but the sad part about my life is that, i don't understand why i keep strongly with anxiety and fear. i cant comprehend why i can't win the battle against these two emotions. Everyday, i pray i overcome them but seems my prayer cant be answered or maybe they are just things i have to suffer with for the rest of my life. At the end of the day, some battles are not just meant to be won, maybe. However, if i cant win them, at least i should be able to manage them, and this is the main reason why i am here watching TEDx Talks about Anxiety

[@mvrckisk97_39]

This is awsome what a confident guy I wish I could be able to do this

[@gianlucacastro5281]

Very cool talk from such a young guy, amazing to see people like this.

[@lauragalindo5562]

Him telling the story of 3rd grade actually gave me low key anxiety because that’s how I feel when we have to do some type of competition on P.E regardless if I’m good at what we’re doing or not or when the teacher starts asking math questions around the class....I don’t cry but like I can feel my heart beating so fast,and the fear!

[@013DREC]

Sometimes I get very anxious in social settings. Like to the point where I just either try to churn it out through being chill/quiet, being on my smartphone, and worst case, just to dip. I’m gonna make it a thing to put myself in these situations and use alternative, more engaging methods to get over this.

[@cmariedooley]

I was trying to describe to my psychiatrist what I felt like when I had anxiety attacks. It was so hard to describe. He described it perfectly!

[@MrBarns-cu7ry]

Thank you this gave me some hope being that I'm in college...its really hard for me. I broke down and cried in class. I want to get on medication but I hate taking pills.

[@joe522]

I started school too. I'm 30 and have never felt this anxious daily. Hang in there.

[@MrBarns-cu7ry]

@@joe522 yeah the struggle is real !!!!!!

Very true words, spoken extremely well. Thanks.

[@juliemcneely-kirwan9314]

This was great. What a brilliant and wise young man!

[@melancholy_moth]

My anxiety has to do a lot with feeling like I am worse than everyone. I always feel like I’m just a sub human entity that doesn’t deserve to be alive. I can’t even go out for a walk with my mom and walk in the opposite direction of a stranger because I just get so much anxiety from literally just being seen by others.

[@floridaboy8133]

Everyday I get these constant thoughts through my head and always think about my heath it’s something I always am thinking about, it’s beginning to take over my life, I don’t know what else to do, it feels like my mind is always moving at 100 miles per hour, I don’t know who to talk to about this or what to do but I guess I just have to keep my head up

[@mimidelgado9474]

My anxiety i would say started about 3/2 months ago it sucks because once i heard i was gonna have my quince weeks later my anxiety started i think bad stuff are gonna happend my stomach feels fear everyday if i get distracted i feel better when i go to school i feel better im so glade i found this video causé i can relate to it

[@neaveguest23]

This is so similar to my persona anxiety experiences. I've been working on it for 3 years now

[@poojithaborra1650]

Jonas I had the exact same feelings, that u experienced when u went to school. I experienced it throughout my college days and even now at my work. I did some research and found the same things that u talked about to combat this i.e do it anyway, and don't give a lot of damn about yourself. I hope these anxiety attacks stop, but it's not in my hands. A very informative talk indeed

[@excuseme1543]

on a side note, Masters School is a $50,000/a year private school. this guy is a great speaker! i'm glad i'm not alone

[@clover2321]

He's so smart and well spoken

[@KweenB283]

I'm going to highschool soon and I really hope this will work

[@KrysP325]

Great talk Jonas. I agree with the exposure method is key. You have to really analyze what is causing the anxiety to properly use the exposure method and benefit from it

[@merncat75]

Your explanation of your experience was excellent It's hard to put anxiety into words especially for those who don't understand it

[@Nazeem-nq8uf]

people with health anxiety will relate to this you will feel happy for a bit and except that you happy then you go right back to being at war at yourself anxiety is a silent killer

[@jesskolbe609]

Thank you, thank you! I appericate you sharing your experience

[@youtubesitess2217]

Whenever I fell anxious I feel stomach pain where I can't eat anything at all but after I finish this anxious moments fighting with my mind my stomach calms down as I feel that I'm hungry more than usual

[@1230sandrag]

My anxiety is dying…. Always haunting my mind. I mean, I understand that every one is going to die. Every time I have a weird feeling anywhere in my body, pain in my chest, heart racing; my first thought is, am I going to die? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Why?!? I wish I could stop thinking like this because it brings panic attacks. 😭 Ever since I became a parent, my life has become important. Important to make sure I am alive for my kids…. My mom died when I was 11 and I guess this is where my anxiety is steaming from, however I don’t know how to stop these overwhelming thoughts 🤦🏽‍♀️😣

[@pppppppieeeeeee]

[@christinetimm1931]

Useful information and excellent presentation skills! Thank you.

[@derekrobb5774]

I had great anxiety about public speaking (witch granted most people have to some degree) but mine caused me to drop classes, turn down better job opportunities, to lose relationships with the people I love and even the gym all because of the fear that I MIGHT have to read some long paper work out loud or to get in front of a group and explain something...it sucks but everyone of you can beat it and you do just how he explained by doing it over and over again until it just doesn’t bother you. Ya might never like doing it or make a career out of it but you can do it when needed

[@ArizonaWillful]

An amazing young man. But my anxiety is not about a situation or place that I can simply go through. Some anxieties are about the future and the unknown. Some of us have fears when faced with health challenges, for example.

[@darlinedesamours9261]

All I can say is wow...This kid is excellent and I am so thankful to you. I am confident it will help my 16 years old son a lot. I had told him to face his fear, he didn't believe me. Thank you
