Why Your Anxiety Never Goes Away - The Worry Bin

If you struggle with chronic anxiety, your life tends to revolve around three phases.
This pattern happens because of what's called the "worry bin" in your brain, a space for stress and worry.
Understanding those phases, and how to manage them, will help you reduce anxiety by shrinking the worry bin.
You can't eliminate stress entirely, but you can learn skillful distractions to train your brain to focus on more engaging and less stressful activities. The key is not just solving problems but changing how much mental space you allocate to stress and worry.

[@AriesRising4444]

That strange, empty moment when you don't have anything to worry about and you have to think about what you're supposed to be worrying about. There's always something!

[@webweib8271]

Yes, exactly. It even happens that I start to worry because I'm not worried. As if something bad would happen if I'm too happy.

[@GabbyEsq]

I’m a lawyer. Outside of that my life is a constant wheel of worry and severe anxiety. Stress can kill you. I don’t see this cycle ending well unless drastic changes are made.

[@izabelaswa85]

Try checking your cortisol level. I'm sure it's too high. There are pills to lower it. I hope it'll help you.

[@SideB1984]

One of my VPs told me I needed to learn to make decisions so decisions weren’t made for me. Welp, I didn’t get the help I needed even though I was seeing drs and therapists. I burned my adrenals out and am totally dependent on steroids now. I developed hashimotos and have since reversed some of it from taking medical leave. Please don’t wait to find the right help you deserve. 💓

[@h1ph0p10]

Nothing in this material world will fix anything. It is always a reason behind everything. It’s a reason or two behind why you feel worry and anxiety. I talked to the most wise person I’ve known ever, and he asked me. Who are you? And I closed my eyes and asked myself “who am I?” When you ask yourself “who am I?” You will or will not find an answer. If you find one, you are most certainly wrong. Then he asked me: “who is it that is asking you who you are?” And then after a while, I realized that: who actually was wondering who I was, was I. Then I laughed and found it stupid at first, but so so calming later on. Because everything in this world: past traumas, 9-5 jobs, your boss, everything that you feel like you need to do.. everything of these things really doesn’t matter, like at all. What are we even put on this earth to do? Or to be? The answer isn’t to be a lawyer or to perform, to make good enough money, to be good enough, to make my kids and family happy, to get rid of my fears and anxiety. We are meant to do, and to be: Love. Everyone got sooo much love in them. That is how god made every human being, we just forget that in our day to day life. We actually don’t need to do anything, and that may be hard as hell to believe in. The truth is that, when we realize that I am I, we realize that I am safe because god is with us all the time, we just forget it. I am secured in gods hand because he knows what’s best for us. We realize that I am love. I am perfect, because god doesn’t make anything that’s imperfect. I am I, and there is almost no one these days that remembers that. We doesn’t need to be taught that, we all know it. We just need to realize it again by asking “who am I”. ❤️ hope you got something from this. You were and are always safe. Your mind just keep telling you that you are not. And you actually believe it, until you sit down to breath and ask yourself “who am I”. And your answer will be “I am I” this helps me realize that I don’t need to be “fixed” by watching these videos. I don’t need to do anything to get rid of my anxiety. My anxiety is thought that I believe in. Thought are like clouds in the sky. They might block the sunshine (who is I/who is god) but when you realize that they are just that, thoughts. The clouds move on, and your real I will feel more love each time❤️ love you all. I love you, because you is actually I. If I live you, I get happy. If I hate on you, I get sad. 🫶

[@h1ph0p10]

And if you want to, you can also watch Avatar The Last Airbender. Everything they say in that series that sounds like wisdoms is almost always right🧡🫶❤️ especially that old man called Iroh

[@nicholasgoh3526]

I’m a banker and I used to be like that till I burned out. You need to have drastic changes but it has to start with your mind first. I don’t know your situation and your ‘commitments’ like your family but whatever they are, you must be willing to walk away from them. Examine them carefully. Whatever they are, it really doesn’t matter in the end because we are all going to end up in the same place - the cemetery. You can’t take anything with you and no one will remember you eventually. So does it matter whether you leave this world as a rich lawyer or the hobo on the street? Do whatever that’s in your control and do your best and then let it go. Let it rot. It’s unlikely that you’ll end up in the worst situation that you imagined but if it does, does it really matter? Examine all your relationships including your marriage. You handle legal documents and marriage is just another transaction because you also need a legal document just in case things don’t work out. Don’t worry about your kids as they will survive. Are you able to walk away from your current life, job, your material stuff, your wife, and all your relationships? It takes courage but once you examine the emptiness of all these and it will end up the same way in the end, you will be free. Joni Mitchell said that Freedom is just another word for you have nothing left to lose. You will lose everything eventually. It will take some time to work this out internally so be patient but it’s worth it. Good luck.

[@Robindigsit]

Anticipation anxiety is 95% of my life. The other 5% is past crap that just rotates in my funky brain. Why did I say that, why did I do that. 😢

[@dr.jenniferma3914]

Yes and it's no life. And then you end up worrying that you're wasting your life. It never ends. Facing death helps a bit though. Like really facing it and thinking, if I were to die soon would any of this matter in the moments leading up? Facing death helped me see how pointless it all was.

[@GG-vq6ro]

​@dr.jenniferma3914 you're right but i think id need a near death experience because as hard as i try i can't imagine what it would be like because i know im not really dying 😢

[@paulstockton7121]

I feel ya. I'm the same. I'm going back to work soon and feeling really anxious. I saw something today about the circuits in the brain that regulate anxiety also regulate excitement. So, I'm trying to tell myself that I'm actually excited about what I'm anxious about.

[@joycedropoog575]

My anxiety pops up at night. Thinking about life and it gets overwhelming and panick starts kicking in with sleepless nights as a result

[@marilynpeppers1356]

I have found that listening to audiobooks helps.

[@h1ph0p10]

It always pops up at night for me too, if it pops up at all nowadays. If you do or do not believe in god. Try to ask god for help in the most honest and humble way possible, put your open heart of worry to him and maybe say: please god, if you are real, give me the strength to get through this. When I did this the first time I “prayed” I just sang along to a Kendrick Lamar song (FEEL) “why god, why god do I gotta suffer?” I sang it so broken and humble. A few seconds after that.. my worries vanished, and I started to smile❤️ god is really good😊

[@houstonka]

Pray, pray ,pray and then pray some more. It will give you peace.

[@veramae4098]

Melatonin. Over the counter hormone. Google it. And of course ... Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

[@russ8985]

One thing that has helped me get through social anxiety is telling myself everyone is going to die so it doesnt matter what people think.

[@dianewilliams260]

The nausea, feeling of doom and heart palpitations over my 6 decades are starting to wear me down... I refuse meds- they make shit worse... I appreciate your talks enormously 🫶

[@Stranded360]

Coffee and other stimulants can make it worse.

[@andrewjaramillo]

Stay strong. One day at a time.👍

[@MrReese]

Please don't deny yourself the help of meds - the right meds can help tremendously and I know several people who can function normally again because of the right medication. Getting the right medication, however, can be quite difficult as it requires the right doctor and we all know how hard it is the find the right therapist.

[@lynnebucher6537]

My sister, a decades long caregiver for her sick husband, said to do something kind and good for yourself every day. She takes long walks when weather permits. Exercise makes your body metabolize cortisols that are overproduced when you're under stress. Had a fitness coach impart this fun fact on his last lecture to our class.

[@patriciadavison1486]

I would love to kick my worry bin straight into the depths of Hell! Its lid is forever flying off and I flounder under the stuff flying about! I was born this way (sadly) and given many negative labels to wear during my life because of ‘myself and my personality”. I am now 71. I still wear the labels and still ‘heave my bin’ everywhere with me. eg: today is a lovely day. I am an introvert and suffer true severe PTS (after loss following a very bad car wreck,etc)…. which I have somewhat under some control…I also HATE going out and being near people or in paces I feel trapped in - but I decided to go for a walk in the early winter sunshine (which I did not want to do really) and I lasted 6 minutes and then, like some jelly from an alien planet, struggled to get back to my safe space , panicking (big time) all the way..(my home is right on the banks of a lovely estuary and from which I never even lost sight of on during ‘the walk’). I got back, Felt SO great to be safe and then the bin exploded again! There is no hope for me!! 😂😂😂 I try so hard and get precisely nowhere! I do use CBT and Mindful reflection but, in a panic attack, I cannot believe I have got anywhere and would rather hide for the rest of my time on this planet. 😳 Apologies for over long comment everyone! XX

[@stevenkovler5133]

My Anxiety is 99.9% based on money. I was in a bad marriage and it robbed me blind. If I get out of this debt I know I will heal. My worry is always about money. I never had this level until two years into the marriage. I need to heal or I do not know if I can live like this much longer ! All I do is ruminate!

[@marywiggins7411]

Can you file bankruptcy and just start over? I sometimes think I will run out of time, and that fuels more anxiety. You have time, you can be okay even in being poor. I was poor for decades, it can be changed.

[@lynnebucher6537]

My ex nearly drove us into bankruptcy so I can relate. It might help you to get a sit down appointment with a fee only financial person to go over your debts and future eants and needs to make you more comfortable. Or at the very least, write your plans down on pape and tweak the details as desired. I about lost my mind when carrying a significant amount of debt and in fear of layoffs back in 2008. Creating a master plan and preemptive change in my spending to cope if that happened moved me from victim to driver's seat and reset my brain. Take back control!

[@grahamlangley4856]

Sorry to hear of this but positively speaking at least you are out of the relationship now so the money problem will not be getting worse despite it not going in the other direction fast enough for you from the sounds of it. In Australia we have a national debt hotline to put you in touch with a money counsellor to help. I'm not sure if this is available in your country. Just a suggestion if of any benefit. Take care ❤

[@LEL612]

I've only just discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but your content is helping me understand myself and my staggering progress a lot better. I've done therapy for 2 years, and stopped treatments thinking I was in a good place to walk on my own two feet- frankly my therapist thought so too. I fell down a massive rabbit hole of extreme anxiety, panic attacks almost every day, not a single day going by without some type of worry. Was at a point of wanting to admit myself to a psychiatric hospital, because I was so exhausted that I felt like my anxiety was actually killing me. I just didn't want to live this way anymore, and I couldn't. I felt like my body was giving up. Thats when I discovered your videos, and they have brought a slither of hope into my life. Listening to someone talk about the exact feelings that I have been experiencing, and also giving solutions on how to solve these problems, have had a great impact on me. Thank you very much for your work, educating people all over the world that there is hope und how to get better, thats truly amazing. Thank you so much.

[@andrewjaramillo]

Be strong. Get the help you need to get better. I too have had debilitating bouts of anxiety. It is a horrible way to live.

[@rescuelover7891]

I have had genetal anxiety all my life and I am 71 now. In those days, no one would have thought an 8 year old had a mental health problem. So I had numrous trips to the hospital for palpatations and other indicators. I take Valium now, and I do not feel any effects at all, and it is the best thing I have taken. I self refect all the time and have always made lemonade out of lemons. So the past is not a problem. Now the big stress is money. My husband passed 2 years ago, so I am trying to work on half of my prior income. That will never go away. I am satisfied with who I am, but there is no way to stop the worry. Also, I cannot get past my husband's death and never will. I listen to your programs, and at least I know I am not the only person facing this. Video quality is great! Thank you!

[@TuffBrandz]

Thank you, Dr Scott. Each new year I swear feels like the worst one so far, but 2023 when I finally turned 40, I feel like Chicken Little. The whole universe is fallen onto me. It must get better I labeled 2023 as the year of change. Death brings new beginnings. I'm not giving up.

[@amandamitchell8894]

Yes!! This is so Me!! My worry bin is huge!! I find it very difficult to be happy about anything because I'm in a constant state of worrying about everything. My Mum used to be like this too, she would always say "She would be happy When" this or that was achieved. And I wonder if she ever got there? She passed away last May. So I know "You will be Happy When" is never really achievable.

[@albertmarnell9976]

Video cam was perfect for me. Good information too about anxiety. My mother had severe anxiety. I'm almost 69 years old. She used to say "I've died a thousand deaths from worry." She was trying to say that most things she worried extremely about, never happened.

[@lynnebucher6537]

And much of what we worry about is not life or death, it just FEELS that way at the time.

[@chaii_latte]

Love how straight to the point you are.and also how you give multiple examples. You are very thorough. And I love that ✨️

[@ariojalili5963]

I am glad that i started to watch your videos and to read your books , because it's helping me to connect with myself. Just 2 weeks ago , i was a complete depressed person with suicidal thoughts. I'm glad you're sharing love with the world, and by this comment i want to pay my respect and love back. ❤️

[@joannabruns529]

Oh, this is me …I’m older than most here. I just finished building a new home with my husband as our retirement home to provide a much easier home to maneuver around in. I developed such high functioning anxiety in the process that it hasn’t subsided now that we have moved in. I have developed a nervous tick that has become debilitating and feel like I’m drowning. This video has become very helpful and I have got to apply your principles or my health is going to plummet. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Jedi-dq1td]

All the therapists I've tried have failed me, some even made things worse, but nearly every video I see of you helps me a lot. Thank you for posting these videos on youtube.

[@UglyFaceOnAStick-iz8bt]

No matter how I feel inside or out, everyday I walk into work standing upright, confident, like I own the place and keep that mentality as long as possible. It works. No matter what the situation, fake it till you make it. Then do it the next day. Co-workers ask if I'm working again with them.

[@webweib8271]

I have done this for years. Now I am burnt out and can't work anymore.

[@Earthtime3978]

When you don’t have money you HAVE TO worry about the next big stressor. It just the way it is. I’m 60 and living on SSDI, believe me I know. Just a little noise in your car gets you thinking, oh no, because you won’t have the money for repairs.

[@lornalouw5548]

My mom was a constant worrier... Still is. Did us as kids such a dis service, because you assimilate that same pattern.

[@louisecampbell2628]

The same here.

[@ats-3693]

Same here but with my father, he was (is) a terrible worrier he was always stressed and anxious everything was always doom and gloom and he constantly expressed and vocalised the terrible worries and stress on our family pretty much daily for my entire childhood, he still does it now even as a very elderly man if I speak to him on the phone. I'm fairly sure that the genetic make-up he passed to me then the decades of worries, stress, anxiety, and anger he exposed me to has led to me suffering debilitating anxiety as an adult. This isn't about blame he didn't do it on purpose or even knowingly it's about my personal acknowledgement of what causes my anxiety so that I can try unravel and resolve it.

[@Angemenah]

The same.

[@salimr4718]

Can you get out of it by yourself? If no, then understand that your mother was in the same boat as you are today. There's no point in blaming her.

[@SideB1984]

Bingo, it’s about being confident in our ability to handle life. I just noticed this pattern in myself after getting SSDI approved. The lengthy battle created a huge worry bin. I decided I’d rather have peace in the present and not ruminate or catastrophize over past or future.

[@stephaniem2743]

I like your advice on skillful distractions. I think it runs counter to a lot of advice out there to meditate, journal, do joga, etc. For me, those latter activities can be very difficult and provide little reward when I'm anxious. Then when I "fail," I have one more thing to add to the "I suck at" list.

[@alexasemi4677]

Great cam, but we come to you not just for your looks! It’s your ideas that help the most and let us the „therapy resistent“ patients feel hope.

[@lmknow7x]

I found this really helpful. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate people who make information like this available to people who can’t afford therapy

[@le3308]

Awesome video!! I would say though that poverty is an average stressor. I could tell from the first video I watched that you KNOW what it’s like. Your tips are incredibly practical and logical. Excellent delivery. Positive tone. Best videos on this content.

[@maddie8415]

Thank you so, so much for offering real insight and real solutions. I think the mental healthcare system in this country is mostly uninterested in giving people real advice for how to cope better, and choose the cheaper "shortcut" of immediately prescribing medications to a person who is struggling, without ever attempting to address the real psychological issue.

[@mwahha6965]

This is so real. Thank you for making this please make videos on each of the coping techniques. I have chronic anxiety amongst other things, I’ve had a stress headache all day and watching this has already reduced it.

[@dr.jenniferma3914]

I've lived my entire life with the "no worry bin" operating system. So much of it that I believed we all did this. I believed life was essentially this. Meeting people without it, I'd be perplexed or assume low consciousness. Now I see that I've been tricking my whole body to be stressed out for decades.

[@fhkazm]

These videos are spot on ! I developed bothersome anxiety issues after I retired and have been struggling with them ever since. I have been seeing a counselor monthly for over two years now and have been practicing mindfulness as well. But I find these videos to be most helpful and address the subject of anxiety with amazing clarity and accuracy. You do an amazing job of identifying and articulating the components of anxiety and I always feel I have learned something useful after watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and personal stories with us. I am truly grateful for your help. I only wish I lived in Iowa and could visit your practice in person as a client for counseling. Best wishes on your new practice !

[@stephanieh930]

Yes, in answer to your question, the camera is very crisp and clear, looks great! The sound is working perfect too (which is most important for me, personally, while I'm listening, processing the info., journaling, etc.). Excellent topic! I am too familiar with my un-binned worries almost every minute of every day. I will try these methods for managing it and I look forward to the individual videos for each of these :)

[@umida.mukhitdinova]

Yesterday I had a session with a psychotherapist. And it was all about this topic. And I left so frustrated because it’s a pain to work with someone who doesn’t understand you. I’m done with wasting my money. KZbin rules

[@secretsquirrelaimee7721]

I do this "distracting" my brain with certain things but as soon as I stop doing whatever mechanism that is, all the anxiety returns. OR I get into doing a craft and don't stop which "wastes" my whole day and I don't get done anything that I feel is needing done. I cannot live on ativan.

I had a drive from AZ to TX yesterday and I listened to so many of your videos; and they are giving me so many new ideas and ways of looking at things. And even though I know I have many changes to make, and I will need help with that, right now as I write this; I notice I am feeling more hopeful. Less ‘broken’. That’s pretty huge in itself. Thank you!

[@LovisaSvensson-iw7wc]

I don't know why my parents told me that actually learning how to handle a situation isn't the way to reduce anxiety about that situation, but I'm happy to see someone say that it does help. I've never had big anxiety problems but it's a wonder that I don't since I was taught strategies to maximize anxiety.

[@sampal5352]

‘Mindful reflection’ is basically CBT? For severe anxiety can be a real pain in the rear. The mind can give endless examples or possibilities that refute any evidence of when it went well, or heaven forbid, what do you do when fact checking leads to a confirmation of serious difficulties that you actually don’t have a lot of control over? There was to be another thing to offer people. Floating with anxiety is one I’ve recently heard, utilized by ACT.

[@the.kai.eros.experience]

Thanks, Scott. Building self-trust & the ability to self-regulate has helped me immensely. Also; the awareness of “it’s a win if I attend,” when I’m scared of doing something. Reparenting, I suppose. Giving myself protection and assurance I didn’t feel as a child. Treating parts of me like a young child. Protecting, guiding, nurturing. And then somatic tools like breathwork, yin yoga, and qigong. A combo of raising skill & awareness + mind-body practices to strengthen the nervous system and my capacity to hold feelings. Thank you for your videos. They help validate my experience.

[@amariev226]

You are changing my life. Today I ordered a crossword puzzle book and a small travel bible. I can now stack a set of activities similar to your list to stem the anxiety along with belief I can handle it because I have in the past. BRAVO! Respect!

Best video I have ever seen. Answered all the questions in my mind how brain works and why are we so stressed all the time, though living very comfortable lives as compared to the previous generations.

Your video was great, and the clarity was excellent

[@debralane7408]

Camera picture looks good background great my favorite thing is fear no fear Sometimes helps sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it doesn’t even need to be fearful.

Thanks, Doc! The quality of the video looks great. I'm happy to try these strategies you laid out. I had to laugh when you spoke of opening your clinic and the worries associated with it.😂 It's a good thing you're a psychologist and know how to deal with those worries and your worry bin because it doesn't ever end (as you already know). I have to say, I've been using that graphing strategy you spoke of for catastrophizing, which is similar to anxiety. It's helped a lot. So thanks again. See you next time.☺

Very helpful! It's nice to know that there is hope and that day to day life can be filled with better things than just stress and worry. Thanks for breaking this down and sharing examples! And the video looks great!!

Thank you for advice and the gear upgrade seems great! I always learn a lot from you. Besides, your non-judgmental make me believe that I can turn my day around. I am accepted that my mental health isn’t as strong as others, and I need to learn how to live with it. Thank you for your great work and I will support you anyway that I could. ❤

Looks crisp, sounds good, very helpful subject I'd love to hear more about. Love your book too!

[@DocKobryn]

Money, reputation, status, pleasure, stuff...stuff...more stuff...security...bigger, better, more, more, more. We stress and destroy our health trying to get things that don't matter in the end, because we're not leaving this spinning rock with those things. It's so much better to pursue the deeper things in life, the free things, the unseen things and the mysteries of the self. I like using books like 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels, The Power of Now, and the Tao Te ching for remembering that this whole experience is temporary and nothing to get too anxious about.
