Stress has caused heart palpitations, anxiety, poor sleep which led to depression..

That moment when you're watching a video to distract yourself from stress and the host tells you you're watching a video to distract yourself from stress 😅 Fine, I'll go meditate or something 😂

Lately stress has been giving me lots of nausea and upset stomach symptoms. Last year it was heart palpatations. Just knowing whats going on in my body and learning new ways to cope(healthy eating, exercising, talking etc) has been a big help. Holiday's have been hard since I lost my Dad back in December of 2014. Always notice an uptick in physical responses around this time of year. Thank you for all that you do, really needed this video!

Same exact thing with me Andy - expect this year for me it's not stomach and nausea, but more on the heart palpitation side - initially scared me at first but educating myself and watching videos like this really help - I've gone through some pretty heavy things the last few years: like you, losing my father, going through a divorce shortly after and then losing my job. Three massive stress bombs that really impacted me mentally and now physically as well.

I exercise it helps but if I over exercise my body is all stressed out again

As a person with high neuroticism, low self-esteem and behind in life, my stress gets very high quite easily, especially on those depressive periods when I feel that there is nothing I can do to change my situation or to get out of my rut. Some months ago, I had a crisis of hypochondria, due to LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux); this incurable condition was definitely the result of chronic stress over the years. This health anxiety led to my first ever anxiety attack. The next weeks my body was constantly on fight-flight-freeze response; I also started to be afraid of having an anxiety disorder; not to mention the existential crisis (death anxiety and depersonalization) and the intrusive thoughts. Then anxiety became sub-clinical again. But I feel that I'm more sensitive to stress now than I was before. LPR is intermittent, but it really flares up with stress. If my mood is especially volatile and irritable for a while, due to some neuroticism crisis, I know that, in the next few days, even if I'm psychologically well again, I will feel anxiety in my body, and my LPR will flare up, along with upper back pain, abdominal discomfort and rashes in my face and chest. Of course, sometimes some of these physical symptoms arise without any particular stressor or previous depressive slump. For instance, at least 3 times a month I get those rashes on my face. Exercise, meditation, journaling and breathing exercises (I recently discovered one very quick and effective, called the "physiological sigh"), have been helping me a lot though.

I'm in the similar place, my friend. Spent the whole of this year investigating a GI issue possibly IBD. I still awaiting a diagnosis. Health anxiety has really ruined me. I've literally been on panic mode for the whole of this year stressing about cancer and everything under the sun. I like yourself also suffer LPR and Gerd and lately I've convinced myself that I have esophageal cancer and I'm going to die. I'm still waiting for an endoscopy. Anxiety is essentially trying to predict the virtue and trying to control things which are beyond our control. I pray and hope for the best. God bless and I wish you well.

I've used it for 90 days consecutively now for 5 hours minimum a day and it has been really helpful. Feels really soothing because my nerves are so shot from my chronic health issues.. I'm also struggling with some of the same things you mention, and yin brings my stress / anxiety / fear levels from 90 to a 0-10 in roughly 30 minutes!

My perfectly healthy husband of 20 years died suddenly in front of me a few months ago due to cardiac arrest. I had to perform CPR on him. They don’t know why his heart conked out so they are now testing my kids to make sure they are ok. Now I am suddenly a solo parent to two young kids and am worried about their health. I am also in the middle of settling his estate with lawyers, accountants etc. Also trying to maintain a home with all of the bills minus one full large income. I can only afford bills and groceries. Now it’s Christmas 👎🏻 That’s REAL stress. Getting stuck in traffic is not real stress. My blood pressure went up and if it were not for my impeccable healthy diet I’d likely be dead. It’s the only thing keeping me alive.

You've really described my husband. He has generalized anxiety disorder, which is undoubtedly directly connected with his Asperger's. You talk about the tendency to avoid sources of anxiety. Well, that is exactly how Aspies deal with basically every social interaction if they don't like the direct it's taking (or don't think it will go well). Avoid, avoid, avoid. Every night, I have to give my husband a massage so he can sleep because his muscles are so tense. I'm sharing this video with him

Yes amazing thanks it’s so clear to the point .. what I noticed is a issue is when ppl don’t wanna solve the issues behind the stress and don’t realize that they need to make life changes .. if it’s changing jobs or schools for a child because of how we were trained by society what’s good and what’s not. For me it took long time to realize my job is bad for me because I had a great boss and got paid nicely so what can be wrong? And when I did mediation I ignored those thoights and didn’t know how to let it come up and deal with it.

Interesting and educational and yes I'm stressed out. Doctors offer you addictive medication, which I want take . Its my thoughts causing this tension. and it's hard to control .

A neurologist explained to me how Chronic Stress can lead to Strokes because of havoc it wreaks on Nervous System, as well as Immune System.

Boy don't I know this!! One thing I'd like to point out is that when you're under stress, at least for me, old injuries will become issues. For me, it's my left shoulder that was injured due to repetitive stress. I was under a great deal of stress mid 2020 and the pain returned to my shoulder. While it is so much better (after cortisone shots and PT), it continues to be an issue whenever I am stressed. I do a lot of deep breathing to relieve it. One thing I am not so good at is taking breaks during my work day. It's usually after I'm done working that I focus on my breathing and it's amazing how much that helps!

Meditation and meditative music can be incredibly effective tools for managing stress. By focusing on the present moment and letting go of distracting thoughts, meditation can help calm the mind and promote a sense of inner peace and relaxation. Meditative music can enhance this process by providing a soothing and calming backdrop that can help us get into a more relaxed state. Regular meditation practice can also help rewire the brain to be less reactive to stress and more resilient in the face of challenges. Overall, incorporating meditation and meditative music into our daily routine can be a powerful way to manage stress and promote overall well-being

Hello there, Thank you so much for the valuable content you post here. You have helped me so much through my anxiety so many times. I do have one question though. When I am anxious or I have a panic attack, my focus goes on my heart rate/pulse and as i see it grow, i get scared and it grows even more, sometimes it goes to 140/160 in rare cases when I am really scared. I have tried compassion meditation, accepting, and listening to what i need, or what actions i have to take to stop the fear...but because of this I am afraid to exercise. I go for walks or do bike 15 min/day but i don't let my pulse go over 125. My question is, how can I exercise without being worried about my pulse? Thank you so so much!

Stop measuring it. Your heart rate and BP will increase during exercise and during panic attacks, you can't do anything to stop that, measuring it is only adding your anxiety and panic. Try to not measure it, trust that your body is doing what it needs to be doing during exercise. If you find it hard to stop measuring it, instead start by trying to delay, so if you get the urge to measure, make yourself wait a few minutes, then 5 mins, then 10 etc and use grounding techniques in the meantime to try and help you stay calm

Quick Question: I've noticed through several changes I've made in my life that my stress has lessened and of course that's great! However, I've also noticed that I care less about my life in general. I don't enjoy the same things I used to. I don't have any real goals or motivation to achieve things, and I don't really care about people in my life save my children. I'm not trying to make friends, get out of my comfort zone, connect with others I've met recently and build on those relationships. An when I do achieve something that at one point was important to me..it's actually feels like such a let down. Overall, I just feel... Blah or Meh. What could that possibly mean? I understand you don't know me personally so you can't diagnose me. I'm just looking for some.. any information you can share that would lead me in the direction of a better understanding as to what's happening to me. Thank you.

Hello Therapy in a Nutshell! Your courses sound wonderful, however my main interest is how to escape the freeze response. Some context: aside from the freeze response I also have a problem with dopamine due to behavioral patterns (such as a phone addiction and others), so I know that problem also adds onto me not being able to do things. However, I do think I ALSO am in a freeze response, quite often, perhaps a chronic one, and really want to learn more about it. Is there something special you offer on that? Or could you tip me off on what video titles to search up? Thank you very much! (Btw, have you revealed your name on your channel?)
