When I was in my late teens, I started to get frequent panic attacks. (I had them during lunch time as a kid, too, so I guess that they were frequent then.) I didn't even know about anxiety disorder and panic attacks until I was freakin' 27. I started taking Xanax, but I always took really low doses for fear of addiction and all. But the #1 thing that helped me big-time was getting rid of a crap diet and switching to 8-10 servings of veggies every day. My excessive sweating stopped and my nervous gut went away completely! Learning about gut health has really helped out!

[@DrTraceyMarks]

Oh that's awesome. That's a lot of veggies! I'm sure your body loves you for that.

I used to have panic attacks during lunch, too. What is it about school lunches that's so upsetting for kids??

[@jonathanjollimore4794]

@@DrTraceyMarks Mine has more to do with finding work and providing for myself. I had a really bad start in life. I had ADHD on top of dyslexia so school was hellish for me. I got little support in school to the point I reached the age of 15 and was illiterate. I couldn't read or write they had to pay for two years of top notch private to catch me up. I did really well there averaged 80 and 90 on my tests. Then they sent me back to public school were I floundered then just dropped out. So I have not worked in over 10 years and my job prospects are dismal. And all jobs I have had have bin pretty awful including cleaning the inside of a slaughterhouse my first job. So now I am racking my brain for what I can do to make money so I am not destitute. I'm OK right now but soon I will have to move on so my aging parents can sell there home. They need to done size for there own good. So now I feel trapped with no way out of this situation. It's kind hard not to feel a little pissed off that someone else screwed up my education and now I have little hope of a happy outcome

[@InHerDreams]

I'm grateful for your work and for the progress being made regarding the methods of treatment offered to help manage anxiety. In 2004, at age 24 I had major anxiety as I was completely overwhelmed, just starting my teaching career and still in limbo from extensive trauma I'd experienced years before. During the first visit, a psychiatrist put me on 3 very strong medications (klonopin, lexapro and propranolol) and only saw me a handful of times. I was dependent on klonopin for years before I decided that a more natural / spiritual route was best for me. I'm so grateful that despite how challenging it can be to manage anxiety, there's now a plethora of options / solutions and methods so easily available to us, to treat this beast so many of us have experienced. We have the power to discover what works best for us - no more... "one prescription fits all" 💯🙏🏽I look forward to purchasing my copy!

[@DrTraceyMarks]

What a story - but unfortunately its a common one. I've seen many folks stuck on Klonopin. I'm glad you were able to get off, but you're right it's still work to keep things manageable. Thanks for your support with the book. I hope you find it helpful.

[@yankyspiegelman1618]

Dr. Marks, this book, and the work you do, are awesome!

[@XxxJaneXxx]

This book is exactly what I need . It has everything any one with anxiety needs I have to pre order this Thank you 💕

[@DrTraceyMarks]

Thanks Jane, I hope you find it helpful. 👍🏽

[@XxxJaneXxx]

@@DrTraceyMarks I’m sure I will 😊 I’ve just bought your bipolar book also. I can’t wait for it too arrive💕🇬🇧

[@DrTraceyMarks]

@@XxxJaneXxx Oh that's wonderful. The bipolar handbook is a compilation of my youtube videos, but I wanted to make the information more easily accessible instead of needing to search videos. This book is written from scratch and much more comprehensive.

[@jessiew4103]

I just wanted to say. When you said repetitive skin picking it reminded me to stop picking my lip which I've been doing for over an hour 😬 thank you

I’m a 32 almost 33 years old lawyer from Monterrey Mexico and I’ve been struggling with anxiety since I was like 26. Since the Covid vaccines, I started to be so apprehensive regarding every single symptom I experienced, and I started having lots of panic attacks. But I just found out that when I get frustrated about the dumbest things, that triggers my panic attacks. I personally have been struggling with sudden high blood pressure, which declines in a minute of course. I’m really looking forward to buy your book. I will buy it on the Apple Book Store in my phone. Greetings Dr.

[@DrTraceyMarks]

It’s good that you see the connection. Now you can work on Interrupting The anxiety response to your frustration. I hope you find the book useful. And I wish you all the best.

[@franciscofco]

So so excited for this! Your explanations and guidance have helped tremendously in navigating my own mental health. I have learned so much about myself from you and so glad that I can now have a physical reference for my anxiety! Thank you for this!

I think I have always had anxiety, looking back on my younger years. But I had one experience in the dentist chair having a long procedure. The Dentist gave me a lot of novocaine. This made my heart begin to beat harder and faster. And there is where I had my first full blown panic attack. It was absolutely horrible. And it followed me for about 6 years. Every time I had even the most slight feeling of “difference” i,e; strong coffee, medication, etc. it sent me right back to that same moment of what felt like “impending doom”. It took me a long time, psychological help, Prozac and identifying my triggers. I am not completely out of it, but I am so much better. It had taken over 15 years, but I am so much better now. You hit nail on head! “Health anxiety” any time I begin to feel differently. It sends me. I go to the sink and begin cold water on my face, drinking it in, and focusing on breathing until it passes. Anxiety has almost overwhelmed my life. I stay close to God, and pray on the fears. Sounds like I need your book! Thank you, Doctor!

[@MeMe-ep5tt]

I love this summary of what’s in the book it definitely makes me wanna buy it now that I know exactly what I’m getting out of it

[@mypinkpuppy]

It’s a blessing to know physicians like you actually exist 🥲

[@SharDances]

Wow! This sounds like an incredible book. It seems like she did not hold back with this one and I love that! Excited to get a copy. Thank you, Dr. Marks! 💖🙏

[@shawnaford5540]

Thank you! I am looking forward to ordering your book. Even watching this short book promotion video has helped educate me on my anxiety.

[@Instransigent]

Up until age 50 I could deal with any stress that came my way and even scored low on anxiety tests. Anxiety then was 'normal' in that it would arise in a naturally anxiety provoking situation, like before a job interview or exam (but I could still perform ok) and then go down immediately afterwards. As soon as I started the menopause however, I experienced anxiety and insomnia such as I'd never known before. It was debilitating. I wonder if your book covers possible biological causes of anxiety, such as disrupted hormone balance?

[@thomasparg1981]

This book would be a great help for me. Struggling with intense introversion and social anxiety.

[@DrTraceyMarks]

I certainly hope it helps you. 👍🏽

[@TherapyTalkWithTammyPauline]

This is so great! Congratualations on the book!! We will definitely get a few copies!! Thank you so much! Lets keep spreading the word!!

[@BellMan1111]

Love your videos. I hope one day you can address breathing anxiety (panic and anxiety resulting in from the fear of breathing or rather not being able to breathe).

[@jwaterma1838]

Can’t wait for this book to come out. My anxiety worsens from bodily sensations, so I hope this will provide helpful clarity

[@DrTraceyMarks]

Oh yes Jwaterma. You are so not alone with that one. The mind is powerful but the body doesn't let you forget your anxiety.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

honestly.... I dont usually pay attention to ANYONE asking me to preorder or buy anything on the web. HOWEVER, Dr. Marks has so much credibility with me that I kind of stopped the video to link it to Amazon so I can pre-order it. First time for everything.

[@DrTraceyMarks]

Awe thanks so much Soul Glow. I appreciate your trust in me 😊❤️

[@hanisiryani43]

I have been following you since 4 years ago. Your contents are super helpful. So excited for this book! Congratulations Dr Marks! 🎊

[@projectkj7643]

Preordered! Love Dr. Mark's videos. She is so smart and has a calming voice/presence. I wish she was in my city so I could be a patient!

[@DrTraceyMarks]

Thanks a lot Project KJ!

[@deejelly1208]

I’m sooooo looking forward to your book. Your channel has changed my life and self dialogue with regard to my anxiety and depression. Thank you!
