As an old person, I just want to reassure young people that it's natural to have some level of anxiety and depression with the chaos in the world and modern society. Social media and news media try to keep you angry, fearful and anxious. This was not the case when I was young. So, don't be too harsh on yourselves.

After working with many clients over the years I still find that the best way to overcome anxiety is to develop a friendly and open relationship to your emotions - treat them as guests instead of enemies. This is a central theme in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and it works extremely well.

[@thinktank8389]

I joined ur site. Can you explain how I make friends with this feeling of wanting to harm and do aggressive things in the morning, every morning. PTSD combat Veteran with loud neighbors, but I deal with it. But my anxiety, fear, anger, stress is getting close to lethal. Can you help me? Im an older man.

[@yanbibiya]

@@thinktank8389 If its that bad and you arent taking medication then I think this should be tried. I have never known anyone addicted to antidepressants in over 25 years of working intimately with mood difficulties. sounds like you are doing well, however, considering the environment you are enduring. The environment is a REAL trigger. You wont be able to overcome it without it either stopping or getting some medication. The medication if and when it helps will give you an idea of how bad the trigger really is. You cannot expect to be able to control your mood by willpower. Its impossible. Those that say they can simply have not got the same issues. They are controlling nothing. They are just unafflicted. what I am saying is try to remember that your emotional intensity is absolutely understandable. You dont really want to hurt yourself or others but boy the feelings boil and things can get nasty. Then there can be shame and humiliation at loss of control. Again, I mention this to let you know it is well known and understood. Whatever and wherever you get angry know that its not your fault. You are activated by a deep feeling response-Trauma. So, if you havent find someone you can easily see and contact on a weekly basis if needed and begin to share (confess) what is happening and how you feel about it. This alone (if you can establish a relationship with a person who doesn't rile you-I suggest someone very with a personality you actually like) will begin to allow some of the fuel to go through your system and deplete the anger and shame and worry. I would recommend that actual PTSD therapy not be undertaken until you have a sense of enough control and enough time has passed in that state for you to feel comfy. The message there is that once you feel something helping stay with it. Be disciplined as you can in keeping that relationship and likewise any medication. you have to trust yourself to be your own physician at this point. That means both taking help thats offered and developing as much self understanding as you can about what helps short term, medium term and longer term. Dont rule anything out but at the same time dont overindulge in things for too long and always take a measured approach to all interventions. If you havent begin to see yourself as a normal and worthwhile person with a real and not your fault illness (just like the flu) . find a good book about a real veteran like yourself and feel their story. Find other veterans who are healing or on the path. It a multilayered approach each day. This is copied from a chap called Brian down below : It will go away. I promise. Mine did. You have to change your life style. It will be the hardest thing you ever do but it is possible. Drink a double dose of Chamomile Tea in the morning and night. Take 2 New Mood 5HTP in the morning and night from onnit.com (it is not addictive, it is natural. Go to the gym 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes a day. (Cardio works best) Meditate. Go to church / be spiritual / pray. Accept your anxiety attack and know that it will pass. Write your fears on paper, crunch them, and throw them away physically. Sleep well. Avoid stress. Eat very healthy leafy greens and vegetables. Eat many blueberries. Breathe in and out deeply and slowly. Do yoga. Go to skilled chiropractors to massage your stress away. Love your family and friends. Take the focus off of yourself, think about others, and pay deep focus onto others. Kiss and hug your friends, family, and significant other. Buy scented and relaxing incense and light them around your house. Masturbate. Eat delicious foods, but not unhealthy. Pick up a new hobby. Don't drink any caffeine. Keep yourself distracted on tasks. You can do this! I know many people who beat anxiety, it is not permanent it just takes discipline, faith, patience, and persistence! simple sense thats hard to do both mentally and physically but if you look at it it just about sums up a normal healthy lifestyle. This is what we are all aiming for.

Joe, you need a different Dr. Do you use the VA mental health medical facilities? I do. I finally got brave enough to ask for a different Psychologist, just couldn't click with the first one. And they were VERY understanding and I had another one right away. I say right away in the sense that I was done with the first one but it was a couple of months b4 the new Dr. had an appt opening. Omg, what a difference. If you Really want help getting better, a powerful step is to try a diff Dr. Preferably one that is newer to the VA medical system. They aren't burnt out with Veterans and their problems, bring fresh perspective AND newer training and studies in their bag of tricks, lol.

Think Tank move ASAP to a place with insulation newly built 2000 and up... it will help tremendously then you can really focus on healing. Not with all the nerve wracking noises

[@MarkTitus420]

My own advise: Don't worry about something until there's something to worry about. Even then you shouldn't be anxious because whatever happens good or bad, it will happen - embrace your fears and don't try to get out of anything. The things that you are apprehensive about, that you fear, or that make you uncomfortable, embrace these things and turn them into something to love and look forward to. This works! I no longer fear anything and I feel so much healthier in mind and body; also loose the karma and forgive everyone that you feel has wronged you. If you fear death, not to worry either because you are and ethereal eternal being and you really cannot die in either case. The body dies but YOU are eternal..just like everything and everybody else.

[@takecareofyourshoess]

What a truly tone deaf post. You act as if anxiety is something people can decide to have or not have. You act as if there is some logic to anxiety. If you actually knew ANYTHING at all about anxiety, you’d know that it is a completely illogical malfunction of the brain which can’t simply be turned off (without years of psychological training…which doesn’t work for everyone every time….which is why true panic attack sufferers ALWAYS have Xanax with them) as you seem to think. Your words ring hollow to me and are zero help to someone who actually lives with real anxiety.

[@DanLetts97]

I suffered from anxiety for years, and one day while I was at work I had an epiphany. It was during a period of deep study of meditation and cognitive therapy that I had this amazing breakthrough that pretty much cured my anxiety instantly. What was that epiphany? Simple: I had a secondhand ego. Now what do I mean by secondhand ego? Well let me try to explain in a bit more detail. When we are raised as children our parents and teachers install in us the belief that we should never put ourselves above others. Furthermore, the push to be popular, to be liked and respected creates a believe in our subconscious minds that what other people think of us dictates and defines who we are. This is what I call a secondhand ego, or to word it differently a second and self-esteem. It is a well-known fact that people with low self-esteem suffer from anxiety and panic attacks while confident people do not, and I knew that there had to be a lesson there. So what's the difference between somebody who is confident and somebody who is not? Why don't confident people have problems with anxiety and panic? The answer to those questions can be summed up very easily: confident people have an independent self esteem that functions completely apart from what other people are thinking. They define themselves on their own terms and don't give a damn what other people think of them. This altruistic based upbringing that we experience as children creates an intense need for approval. Rather than asking the question "Am I a good man?" someone with a second hand ego asks, "do people think I'm a good man?" and there is a fundamental difference between the two. The secret to dealing with social anxiety is developing a more independent sense of self, or to put it very bluntly: stop giving a fuck what people think. When you work on letting go of wanting approval people's words will simply pass right through you as if you're a ghost. You will hear them, but they will simply be noise and nothing else; the words will no longer have as much meaning and they won't elicit any emotional response in you. If you'd like to learn more about how to let go of wanting control, approval and security I highly recommend studying the Sedona Method; it can change your life. Now whenever I am out in public I'm always checking my mind to see how it's thinking, and how connected to others I am. When I'm walking through a crowded mall I bring my attention to my breath, and bring my focus also to my feet and just allow myself to just be me. I ask myself some questions such as: am I wanting to be popular right now? Do I care if the pretty women are looking at me? In this moment can I give myself permission to not care what others are thinking? These simple questions can be surprisingly powerful, you might even make up some of your own. Now that I work on releasing wanting approval on a daily basis I have noticed some wonderful improvements in my mental health. Apart from the obvious relaxation it creates I have also noticed that I no longer get nervous before job interviews, and I don't need people to understand me. If I make a decision that's very important to me and somebody disagrees with me, or suggest it's the wrong decision I no longer get angry or hurt, in fact I don't care at all. Other peoples opinions simply don't affect me anymore, and there is a wonderful peace and freedom to be found there. I have observed that anxiety seems to be caused by one particular thing: being overly concerned about what other people might do, say or think. Why are we so connected to what other people think of us? (Wanting approval). Why might we be so concerned about what people might do to us? (Wanting security/survival). And why might we be concerned about what people might say? (Again, wanting approval). Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy of the Sedona Method o as soon as possible. It's a wonderful beautiful book about a very simple and easy to apply technique to help with letting go of wanting approval and security among many many other things. Thoughts create stress, so in order to beat stress we have to change the way we think. It's not as hard as you might think.

Anxiety makes you question EVERYTHING, it makes you feel like you're going crazy. It makes it so hard to hold onto the most special things in your life, because you end up feeling scared to the point it's unbearable. I didn't realize how bad my anxiety was getting all year, until I looked back at my behavior and everything I've lost because of it. These videos, self help books, and meditation absolutely make a huge difference. Thank you so much for posting this.

I watch this video probably 12 years ago and pined it to my Hemiplegic Migraine board on Pinterest. I’ve dealt with this illness since childhood, so it’s understandable how fear can rule your life when you suffer stroke like symptoms as a small child, especially when you witness your aunt, at a cousins shower, laughing one minute and dead the next due to a massive aneurysm. I have had panic attacks so severe my muscles turned to stone that I couldn’t breathe. This video, definitely helped me understand the mechanics of the brain and I learn how to reprogram my brains responds. I cannot express how beneficial this video was on regaining some of my life back and I’m so grateful and I’m still alive 12 years later. With the help of doctors who found the right combination of medication and this video I’m able to go outside by myself and at 65 I’ve regained some of my life.

I’m noticing how selfish it is of others to think along the lines of selfishness with regard to this particular condition when what is actually happening is one is punishing oneself over and over again in a cycle of low thinking about oneself that becomes habitual. Sparks of self-doubt burst into flames leading to self-destruction that can span a lifetime, unless it is cut short, by center-of-the-earth falling into panic. Sad to say, many - in a flash of self-torment for reasons long forgotten, if there even were any real reasons, don’t make it out of that depth of hopelessness and hell in ones own mind. Far from able to being selfish.

Anxiety is a paradigm. It is designed by repetitive negative outcomes. This causes your subconscious to write bad programming, to the point that ultimately it can cause such dis-ease that it can kill you!

They work great and are something that I will definitely be keeping around with me because they work. Not only do they work for me but they are natural and can't cause addiction or death like most all other anxiety medications; and this I know because I'v been on so many for the past 20 years and after all that experience I'm sure to stick to these.*

What I say is only what I believe to be true from the years of study I have done. I claim to be nothing but a poor ignorant man and if my lord is willing he will keep me this way so that I will always know humility, Peace and love to all

[@suseil]

Yes I agree. I've never been materialistic. You can't put a price on spirituality. Just as God is omnipotent so is love. To covet is to become bitter and resentful. The less we have the more we appreciate. This is what scripture means when we read; "The meek shall inherit the Earth." PEACE.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

T Ladd, In life there are only 2 problems --mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

Sebastiaan, The permanent cure to anxiety is the free Vipaasna meditation practiced all around the world. Meditation reprogrames the mind. Sit on a comfortable chair, hands on your laps, close your eyes, be still and focus on the breath entering and leaving your nostrils for 10 minutes early morning and night. Slowly increase the practice to 20 minutes. Plenty of thoughts will come but they will reduce after doing the above meditation daily. Don't give up. Watch "Vipaasna meditation videos" on you tube.

[@Peaceatallcost]

did you find a solution for it?

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

The problem is people who experience GAD/panic disorder try to overcome their condition through sheer willpower, the conscious mind. Little do they know that the root cause of their symptoms is underlying deep in their subconscious and is manifesting as feelings. Those feelings are things that need attention. The term we only use 10% of our mind is true, and it's time anxiety sufferers learned how to begin using the other 90% of their mind towards a solution. Let's go..

[@TheYanbibiya]

utter rubbish. There is no such thing you can point to as an unconscious process impacting on the mood or physical condition of a body. This is misleading. All our symptoms of mood can be noticed as cause and condition. By using the truism about Willpower you also muddle the water. This is not willpower. no one said anything about willpower-whatever that may be. This is about recognising cause and effect and working intelligently with the causes to amend our negative responses. This is the only way out of the trap called unconscious processing. The feeling part is exactly the same as the other parts. There is not separation between the reactions of the body-mind. Working on any part is working gradually and holistically. It does no one any good to be ignorant about the way to work with problems of anxiety or depression. Anxiety. GAD/ depression , etc are all manifest in feeling based and conscious based process. If it werent then you would have absolutely no way to contact them as all experience is made up of feeling and thinking and can be easily identified. Processing or healing or solving is very much a chosen and conscious process too.

[@RadicalCreamer]

jan you are telling us that the unconscious mind isnt capable to impact the body??? ahhaahahhaha and you call something rubbish.

[@TheYanbibiya]

you havent understood a thing I have said, I can only assume you have not looked at your self organisation at all. If you can show me the unconscious then it be definition is not unconscious. There are only behaviours and feelings and thoughts that are acted out. The only way to work with this is via understanding and acceptance or knowledge. for example: the chap who started this thread says " little do those GAD and depressives no but they are acting out subconscious process" The mix up is that neither will power not subconscious process need attention. Only the cause and effect which is easy to see. E.G I find I am nervous and upset in my car. cause=driving the car. Solution=apply conditions that diminish the behaviour or the reaction. This may be a process of gradual exposure which becomes a simple habituating process. If this is intolerant to the person then working on conditions of route, timing, company, and added appraisals of whatever thoughts may be generated. Absolutely nothing subconscious or unconscious needed. Things may FEEL complicated but they are actually very simple. It is not that one can change everything according to what you exactly want. So, back to the unconscious-no such thing. The states of waking, sleeping and dreaming are the 3 referred to as common states. In between these are various states of degrees like revelry or hypnotic states, again of varying degrees. In deep sleep there is no thought process at all. In dreaming there are images, thoughts and feelings of varying degrees. In waking there is the same varying degree of thinking, imagining and dreaming. Therefore anything referred to as unconscious cannot be found and if you say I found it then you are confusing a waking state with a deep sleep and / or unconscious state. Jung and Freud may have referred to such phenomena and the whole new age approach even goes in for totally made up beliefs that when examined are based on absolutely nothing but idle fantasy in the same way a fiction writer may create an absorbing story. This is not to say that Jungian therapy is always unhelpful. It is not. For the record this talk by Mr Rossman is very good indeed. The unconscious however is nothing more than the inability to notice what your body-mind is doing.

[@dorothychisholm1383]

Correct! When we speak of the unconscious state, we are speaking of the mind not being aware of what is going on as if asleep. As far as the subconscious mind is concerned, it does the bidding of the universal mind or natural physical processes such as breathing and the heart pumping. The conscious mind termed, "The watchman at the gate" is responsible to suggestions and thoughts that will cause the subconscious mind to react, for example responding to triggers that could cause panic attacks or deep embedded fears that causes uncontrolled anxiety.
