Every time I watch your videos I see myself. The biggest thing that I use to fight my anxiety is realizing that I'm not alone, And knowing that people are fighting the fight gives me the strength to move over my hurdles. It's not easy but the success of overcoming is so sweet and needs to be felt by everybody dealing with anxiety. God is good and never forget about the footprints in the sand 🙏

I have been offered a spot on a master's degree program abroad for three years in a row now. Every time I get close to departure I panic over my panic and defer my admission. I just can't see myself being able to function, to not ruin it with panic attacks or die as a result of the stress. I really really needed to see this video. I'll be leaving in six weeks... For real this time. ❤ Thank you for this gift. ❤

Anxiety is like a buffet of madness and ailments for the hypochondriacs (I use to be) but when you step out of routine you begin to notice the anxiety disappear after a while

Thank you. Not only did you push yourself out of your comfort zone, you reasoned with yourself and let it happen. The heat is definitely a trigger as it gets more difficult to breathe. This video was inspiring.

I'm from the UK but in Turkey right now, facing my fear of panic attacks and agoraphobia! The heat is such an anxiety trigger! exhausted from my first day here but hoping to feel better as I acclimate and my brain learns that I'm safe here. Thanks for your encouraging videos - you are awesome!

Omg the frequent urination!!! YESSS!!! Thank you!! I thought it was JUST ME!! My worst fear & panic is pissing my pants (I never have) but to avoid I go piss frequently!! Thank you so much for sharing and helping so many of us!!! WE ARE HERE AND THATS A GOOD THING!!

I gotta say. You’ve become my comfort KZreadr whenever I start feeling a bit overwhelmed or just generally anxious because you make me feel like I’m not alone. Keep up the amazing work❤

So I guess it’s a thing that people with anxiety and panic attacks have a heat intolerance?? Wow!! Thank you for sharing that I thought it was just me, I cant be too much in the heat especially the sun…I start feeling weak, and short of breath and feel like if I don’t cool down I will pass out…Anxiety and panic suck so much because it keeps you from really enjoying life and it’s refreshing to see how at the beginning of the video you were so anxious and by the end I could see you truly enjoying yourself!! Stepping out of our comfort zone is key again thank you for sharing and God bless✨✨

Ur right, Anxiety already makes us dehydrated as you have to keep drinking water to stop the chest pains. But now by travelling to a hot country it makes it worse. Also by drinking lots of water it causes frequent urinating which is often clear instead of yellow cuz we’re drinking excess water abroad.

You are so brave! I also have anxiety and have never been on a plane before. I hope someday I will get the courage. I also try to be brave. Your videos help me a lot.

I’ve been suffering from anxiety and cardiacphobia for over 10 years and I find if I have purpose, if I’m busy and if I take action, it never seems to bother me. It’s inaction and procrastination seems to be what makes it worse!

Your sympathetic nervous system is in charge during fight or flight response which gives the urge evacuate bladder and bowels.

I used to have the anxiety swallow during 2020 it was so bad I couldn’t eat anything for months but when I went on antidepressants for my anxiety in general the swallow thing went away for the most part ! 4 years later I get it sometimes but not as much.

Man you are inspirational, honestly. I had to subscribe. So long story short a couple of months ago i devleoped anxiety and panic related symptoms, my job is a firefighter but i have had to be off sick for the last month. Had blood tests, eye tests, ecg for my heart, been prescribed beta blockers which didnt agree with me made me feel weak and even more faint. Also seeing a therapist through work to adress the psychological aspect. Imy main worry is my fears of fainting and the strange sensations will lead to agoraphobia. Everyday im convicned i have a physical ailment. Im seeing a nuerologist this friday and im already anxious about that 😅 i guess 80% of me is aware that this is all anxiety related. But that 20% of me is in disbelief especially with some of tbe physical sensations. Each of your videos resonates with me also 😅 which makes me think maybe it is the anxiety and panic attacks. I have so many questions for you. But ill just start with some of the recent things that have been concerning me. Did you ever get nights where you couldnt fall into a deep sleep ? Like you just felt like you were in a light sleep all night and having very vivd dreams. Then upon waking you instantly feel terrible and anxious and it sets you off ?

I relate to you. The worry/hope that it's something that can be fixed by surgery,meds,vacation etc. Don't dwell on thinking you could become agoraphobic go out for little walks especially if you have a friend or dog to walk with. Carry water or Gatorade with you. I imagine your job is quite stressful,dangerous,demanding,. Thats enough over time to cause issues. I can't imagine what you may have seen. It's traumatic. But im not going to diagnose you because I'm not a doctor lol. I'm someone who has lived with panic anxiety disorder for years. But it's not the end of the world. I have had many nights of interrupted or uninterrupted sleep. I'm not to deep of a sleeper now because I'm very aware of my dog being sick. But I have woken up and just felt awful. Cancelled plans,called off work etc. If you would like to chit chat about anxiety etc I'm on instagram @cursedsouloflaura you can message if you like. It helps me to talk about it with people who "get" it as well. But I love to help❤

@jetta.silence6356 I'm not on Instagram, trying to avoid most forms of social media in the hope to help reduce anxiety, although I'm not sure that's working as now I just have more time to Google symptoms and try and self diagnose 😅 So I woke up naturally around 6:30am today not feeling too bad but thought I needed more sleep and ended up oversleeping till nearly 9am. Woke up feeling groggy and anxious wishing I had just woke up originally at 6:30 😂. Perhaps we could discuss things more via email or something else ?

I wish I looked this calm when I'm in the throws, but I, too, can tell when a panick attack is coming on. I've had these since I was a teenager and all the time since then I've either went through periods of having them and then years without, if they were good years or bad. This doesn't seem like a panic attack, it seems more like anxiety. A panic attack you are literally shaking, maybe nauseas, but one way I've gotten used to knowing the difference is it'll be uncomfortable in my chest but it will be upper chest, all the way across and you'll think yiu hear your heartbeat going 200 bpm, but it's really not, it's all the shaking. If I start going immediately to heart attack I know it's not because I won't be guessing at that point, I'll know, because it will be vastly different. I've had so many in my life, my brain tries to trick me but I know my body, the involuntary muscle twitches give it away, no jaw pain, no throat pain. I breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth & it works like a charm, thought it will linger around for a bit in case my brain is game for some more. I HATE being proficient in anxiety, and I haven't had issues in 2 years, but there's a lot of stress in my life, at the moment, so they've returned. This is a pretty good indicator that unless I enjoy them I've gotta get a handle on them or I'll be in the throws of one more often than I'd like. Like most with anxiety, I've been to the hospital more times than I can count and could fill a photo album with how many pictures & tests I've taken of my body and the answer is always-"perfect health". I quit drinking almost 10 years ago but I do still vape so now that's gotta go, anything that may antagonize has to but ultimately, them returning, is a sign that my stress level is out of control. So, at my age, just like 2 years ago, I fix the problem, and I'm not even old, in my 30s, too young for any issues like that & luckily enough I have good genes. I know this video means well but saying you're documenting your attacks and all you're saying during is, "I think I'm having an attack" isn't accurate. The very young and newbile to this situation will watch and immediately think they are dying because it's so much more violent & aggressive then what's being portrayed. It may even cause them to have one on the spot. Please, please be careful how you label your material, as far too many have gotten liberal with the words they use, to get clicks, bit it can truly be harmful when it could & should be utilized to help.

Me all day today and yesterday thinking my heart has stopped

This is so inspiring to me ❤ I get really sick when I'm anxious or panicking (like really bad nausea, dizziness, tachycardia, I can't even eat...). I've realized that fighting the symptom is usually worse, so now I just embrace it and let it pass without rushing. It usually goes away quicker! Not feeling able to travel has been one of the most depressing effects of agoraphobia, so it really helps me to see other people who struggle with this being able to go out and keep living. Thank you so much, I wish you the best

😢😢😢😢 I have become slave of Panic attacks, cardio phobia 😢😢😢😢

I'm going on a flight tomorrow morning and have had severe anxiety in the past with the whole agoraphobia, ocd and panic attacks which I still struggle with. Related to A LOT in this video glad to know I'm not alone thank you :).

We seem to have almost no round-abouts in the U.S. I learned about them in England and they are everywhere. I used to fight my panic attacks (I've had them since I was about 5 or 6 years old. I find that if I acknowledge it rather than fight it and know that it cannot hurt me or kill me, But believe me, I understand and feel your fear.

You do an absolutely amazing job facing it all. I am terrified of the panic attacks, so even the slightest bit of anxiety sets me off. I haven't left the house for 2 years, I'm now on my 4th therapist as the others said they couldn't help. You are incredible and wish I had as much courage as you do to face it head-on. Well done 👏

Oh dear. I've been a sufferer for 25 years. On and off. SsRI give me terrible insomnia and when I wean them off , I get rebound anxiety and BP spikes. I am also a nervous traveller . I have to travel abroad to the UK in a few days from India ( for a month) to visit my daughter/ son in law. It's psyching me out, though my husband is with me. This is a horrible condition and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, though I don't have any!😂 I'm reassured that there are others like me. Hang in there, dear.

I can relate bro. I have almost all the symptoms as you. The heat is a killer. I wouldnt be able to do all that walking and driving without constantly drinking water. Im also working on getting out more and attempting to drive further. I also feel the urge to urinate and sit on the toilet when i feel it coming along. You can do it.

you are a brave man. im going trough the exact same this summer im just tired of it all so im saying fuck it and getting on planes again

Id like to say thank you. Thank you for being “raw” and vulnerable on every social media platform…I understand it’s very scary for anyone to post anything on the internet especially mental health related topics. I have watched many creators and all have helped in one area (for me) but you my good man, it checks them all. You’ve given me and I’m sure many many others AROUND THE WORLD courage and strength to over come our mental struggles. Thank you for what you showcase and explain, it makes us feel we aren’t alone n we can physically see it. It hurts in a good place yk. You’re (n many others around me) have been a huge help in my exposure therapy and overall well being. Thank you ❤️‍🩹🫂

I have severe panic disorder which for 5 years Ive been dealing with without meds because I'm terrified of taking meds and just 3 weeks ago I took an ibuprofen and I could have swore it went down wrong and I started googling what happens if a pill goes down the wrong way and in lungs and whatnot that's the closest thing to the food fear I have had that you have but my attacks were getting so bad also my son that is 22 has developed this and got medicine buspirone and it helped him immediately I have recently started wir d for wellness also but I have started taking the same med as my son and I can definitely tell an improvement I still don't like to drive or even be 15 mins from my home and I can't go anywhere where there is no cell service or far away from a hospital but I'm going to try these things soon like you. You are so strong. I do have a question usually if I have an attack it zaps me and makes me so sleepy so you feel this way and just push through it. I'm not one to take naps ever so when I need too it scares me . I hope everyone that has this one day finds something that works. Take care

Awesome, video, man. Thank you for sharing everything with such detail. I used to have panic attacks 5 years ago. Managed to stop them with therapy and antianxiolytics. They kind of came back due to a traumatic event, one 6 months ago and I just got one again yesterday. But I wanted to ask... Are you in a relationship? How does that work? My anxiety has ended 2 of the most important relationships I've ever had. My girlfriends just couldn't handle my neurotic mind, and I couldn't handle being the crippled one constantly needing help. Thank you again for sharing!

Hi! DO you by any chance do one-on-one coaching? if not you should definitely invest. I struggled with swallowing anxiety for a long long time. It started on a cruise my family and I went on a long time ago back in 2015. As you mentioned, I was already anxious. I wasn't too hungry, and then, it started manifesting into eating anxiety, and if I were to choke, there would be no one to save me. So weird, I know. Like who the hell would think like this. I literally isolated myseld because of this for so long, and it just led to other anxieties that manifested. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing all of this. Means a lot.

Your videos have helped me. So much especially with driving anxiety.

Hey good for you man! Only thing I would tell you, is on that second panic attack, next time just continue doing what you’re doing. If you’re walking to the beach, keep walking!

I've been always too scared to look this problem up so I never really did I've been dealing with this worsening for the past 2 years I'm just starting out to understand it I thank you for your channel I've cried watching it When you said you had to pee every 5 minutes I thought that was pretty funny because my bladder has started acting really weird where sometimes I can't even hold it

The heat man...in Florida it's above 35C for half the year. Definitely a difficult trigger.

I have a genuine issue with traveling, I can get up to a certain amount away from my city but cannot go past it. How have you guys worked through this?

This is like my life everyday I have a massive fear of having allergic reaction to food even tho I have no know allergies to anything as far as I know my friend ate a banana one day and had a bad reaction ever since that day I have had that fear.

This is the way dude, retrain your brain

Hi I have question. But why do we have this anxiety. I have anxiety going out. Any advice please
