Not weird at all. Knowing that you are not alone and not the only person in the world suffering with anxiety would give you a certain level of comfort. The more you learn about yourself and anxiety itself, the more you will be in control of it. Highly recommend finding a group of people online or in your community to start talking and learning about anxiety. Talk therapy one on one is good too.

Maybe it's you who should get a life instead of lurking in someone's comment commenting nasty things instead of uplifting and motivating them because honestly your kind is one of the many reason why we have this health problem.
For all of us going through this, helps to know that anxiety is ONLY an emotion and I can control it!!

But being in a chronic state of anxiety is taxing for the body and mind. It's good to have techniques like the one in this video that you can do easily at any time.

I've recently been experiencing the worst panic attacks and anxiety I've ever felt, to the point I took myself to the ER because I was worried I was having a heart attack. It's so healing to know there's people who can, want to, and are trained to help you, and to see other folks dealing with the same stuff. We feel so alone when we're in the middle of it, but grounding ourselves with others- even strangers- is probably the most helpful thing. Your comment also helped me, so thank you

The worst anxiety, I’ve have is breathing hunger I feel like I’m hyper ventilating all day every day it’s ridiculous and like you said as soon as I think about it, it gets worse, which is every day so.
I think I understand why this works, as someone with zero medical/psych training. It's a similar idea to the 333 method, where you ground yourself in reality. But in this one, you're so preoccupied with the sensation and focusing on breathing, your brain stops racing. This works for me a lot better than the 333, because it's hands-on and physical, and it's multitasking so I can't allocate as much brain-RAM to panicking. I know this was four years ago, but thank you. You're still helping folks.

Riinnaa, Since it is a mind issue reach a state of equanimity where nothing disturbs you. For a relaxed life without anxiety sit on a chair, back and spine as erect as possible, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 10-20 minutes. Be as still as possible. Your breath is directly related to the mind causing anxiety. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce. The mind is reprogrammed to reach equanimity. Do twice daily as per your convenience. Practice not over-reacting to any daily real life situations. Enjoy the above meditation without expectations and your life will transform. Make it a daily habit. Best wishes.

Random pains/aches are very triggering for me... my inner voice that usually reassures me it'll be okay isn't speaking up... instead it's replaced with negative thoughts and the opposite of it'll be okay. I really liked this technique.. it did help. Thank you for being the one who showed me something I will utilize during times of anxiety!!

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this anxiety. Today I was bowling and felt my heart beating from the exercise and it triggered into a soft panic attack that I was able to jump on. I have a problem with thoughts constantly telling me I have end game issues with me like cancer heart disease ect...

I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a child. I’m 30 years old and I still have my moments. You have nothing to be ashamed of and I don’t know you but I don’t believe you are “faking” anything. Those fears are very real to us when we have panic attacks. Stay strong and keep a good circle of friends, you will get through it and there are many of us out there that are supportive and understanding. I hope this helps.

Sometimes the hardest part about anxiety is, when you're in a panicking moment, all affirmations and tools you've written down are hard to remember or aren't absorbed when you re-read techniques. I am happy I found this video as this technique is short, memorable and seemingly effective. The more tools in our anxiety tool belt, the better. Some things may work better than others for each individual, but this one feels like do-able and helpful. Thank you! ♥
