How to Spot Normal Anxiety VS Anxiety Disorders 

Petting and playing with my cat

Walks, pets, yard work, music, deep breathing.

I suffer from Empty Nose Syndrome. I know it sounds crazy. But since my nasal surgery [deviated septum] my anxiety level has tripled, due to change in airflow through my nostrils. I hyperventilate, suffer dry nose [like sandpaper in nostrils], and cannot sleep. I am in a constant state of anxiety due to this surgery. I think my sympathetic nervous system is overtaxed. I feel I will die too soon, as I cannot deal with this constant state of sympathetic arousal. Not from suicide, just exhaustion.

@@johndeal4381 That sounds horrible! I'm sorry. Please try the methods I recommended in my other comment as they really help with the anxiety. But I also hope you find a way to help your nose breathing. If your doctor is not helping with that, then consider finding a new doctor and get a therapist to help as well with the anxiety.

I'm a clock watcher... nothing lasts forever...

Wow, @s b , which must stand for SMALL BRAIN, bcz Sunnirv, nor the Dr, never said they were a “problem”, she said “They DON’T DEFINE SOMEONE”!!! Are YOU crazy??? Or just uneducated??? 😉 🤷🏼‍♀️ Psh......smh......🙄 Maybe you should open your ears more and close your mouth?!!! 🤐Js....

So true! And, everyone should remember that no one goes to the store to buy a disorder, illness or "problem" as @s b implied. Plus, she specifically noted that the illness does NOT define any person, which totally went over your head. I am not sure why, but it did. I don't know what you think an illness(es) is, but the definition is "a disease or period of sickness that affecting the body and.or mind." A problem is something totally different...get the definitions in your head and know the difference before you comment and say something that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The definition of problem is "a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome." If you cannot differentiate between the two -- you have way bigger issues to address.

I really like her

@sunnirv - If you ever experienced Severe Chronic Major Depressive Disorder you would know it TOTALLY DEFINES you!

Yesssssss !!!! I am a gay black male and thisss is even worse for meeee ughhhhhhhh I hate this feeling and it’s like I have put my self in a dark space and can’t get out

​@@discipleofjesus719Amen

That is so true... I use to beat myself up about feeling any type of way that I got physically ill and had disturbing hallucinations...

yes they have that right, and i think how they react to those feelings define them more..

Thank you so much ❤️ my family told me I’m overreacting and my brother said I wasn’t raised well if I’m so anxious. So this makes me feel better

We do have that right and should never fear talking about it. I suffered from anxiety way before the epidemic. But for some reason I don't feel that anxious now. Why? I've been practicing a few things before the epidemic and continue to practice now. They helped me and I think they could help you. These are in addition to what the doctor suggests. Here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tg0FaQaCOs0.html Let me know if these knew habits I shared work for you

That's exactly how I am. I continuously and open binge these types of videos to try and decide for myself whether or not its worth saying something about it, yet I question whether or not the extent to which I fit into a certain symptom is justifiable or true and I never know where to go from there. Especially my parents would deny me saying anything about me not being "normal" or "happy" because apparently I always seem that way, despite noticeably being quiet, avoidant of other people, straight up saying I don't like people since being a child, and occasionally bringing up possible issues.

Wishing you the best 🤍 keep your head up. God bless and Jesus will support you whenever you feel anxious

The shroom experience stands as my most remarkable journey, an awe-inspiring encounter that left an indelible mark of amazement.

so u always had it ?

Was there ever a time when human society did not suck? At least not in my life time.

When exactly to you did the world start to suck?

I'm with ya girl!!!!!

Same, this whole situation is hell

She's the most excellent Doctor🙂💖

She IS a blessing!!!!💕

Where are you from and do you still get anxiety attacks..? Is this because of financial problems or your's have a different reason.?

I highly recommend to you to meditate while listening to the conversations between Jiddu Krishnamurti and Dr. David Bohm. They saved my life. I go to sleep listening to them.

It's gonna be ok

Sorry hunni, deep breathing and meditation 🧘‍♀️ will help.... believe me. You can message me if it becomes overwhelming! ☹️

Oh I know about that exhaustion because of continuous anxiety and overthinking. It will work out, believe me. There is better yet to come. I suffer from anxiety way before the epidemic.

I have the same anxiety feeling from time to time, and very often at the moment. The other morning I woke up and had it in the left side of my chest and even thought "damn, is this a heart attack?", but I was fine (I am 27, relatively fit, not overweight, so it seemed very unlikely). But yeah, I get the chest thing all the time. I've had it checked out by my GP, and chest is always clear, but the feeling persists, and is exhausting and impossible to ignore.

Exactly! And she has the prettiest smile. It conveys love and true caring.

I really like her too!!! She was great on that show “My Shopping Addiction”!! (The male Dr was great too)!! Can’t remember his name exactly, but I believe his last name is Toller” (sp?)....maybe??!! Lbvs.... It was a great show especially for me as I’m a former “shopaholic”, and was sad that it didn’t make it......in fact, I don’t think it made it through a whole season!? Ughhh 😬

Oh my friend sent me a thing about her ex I knew him longer and this woman was explaining narcissistics and what he did gaslighted her and other things.

Same with OCD. People who like to clean or be detail oriented say they are OCD. What about people with real OCD?

​@@katrinat.3032It's a nightmare to deal with.

I’m so sorry friend. I totally get how you feel. Just wanna say never give up. You are strong and you got this. God bless, and know that He is there for you all the time, even at the lowest times. “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28

I get that way too but I don't even have friends. I'd say, try to focus on the good experiences you did have because good friends are hard to find and everyone makes mistakes.

@EVOLVE FREELY Sometime back I had panic attack and it feels like having a heart attack but now I am free there is no more anxiety and fear in me. I am calm and I have peace.

I think weed gave me an anxiety disorder. Thing is I can’t tell anyone because I don’t want it on record anywhere and my family would disown me. Anytime where I’m not distracted with something now my vision gets blurry, I get severe brain fog, and my mind starts racing with negative nonsensical thoughts so fast that no thought is coherent. The thoughts are like what people describe severe schizophrenia to be like except I can’t actually hear them but they overwhelm me still. Oddly my heartbeat doesn’t start racing but I can feel it beating and I get fidgety. I get a headache in the back of my head and I feel super jittery like I just got a shit ton of sugar injected in my veins. I’ll often wake up in the middle of the night wide awake feeling like this with seemingly no trigger. I don’t even know what’s causing it. I feel like my brain is just broken.

​@@BimmerWon​ I have chronic migraines which feel like what you describe the blurry vision, pain at the base of your skull where it meets your neck (if the pain gets worse for you, does it feel like the pain is extending from the base of your neck up over the top of your head towards your eyes?), even the brain fog. I'm not saying the weed didn't cause any thing because we don't really know the long term affects of anything (this is one user to another although, I'm using to help with my anxiety lol) but you could go to a doctor to seek treatment for that lay of the weed, if you want, and just tell your parents about the migraines and not the weed if you get diagnosed! 🎉

@@vanillali67 oh. My symptoms actually fully went away so I’m good now. Took until about mid summer of last year to feel normal again.

Yea I've been to quite a few therapists as well and they tend to be mostly reflective rather than informative which is not very helpful since I'm always reflecting anyway.

See work of doctor john sarno.

So your ex hubby was the disease . Lol

You’re not stupid at all. I could imagine it was a lot. Hope you’re feeling better. Have a great day and Jesus loves you and is there for you

Could’ve been my own comment!

Sometime back I had panic attack and it feels like having a heart attack and i just cannot focus on things that i need to do. I felt like a complete failure. But now I am free there is no more anxiety and fear in me. I am calm and I have peace.

Can I ask what you did to overcome this please? Did you go on medication for a few months or was there other methods

Damn that sucks. Thanks for your service though. Does your heart rate ever stay the same when you’re having a lot of anxiety? For me it’s like I get injected with a bunch of sugar so I’m jittery af. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night with chills and blurry vision and I can hear myself breathing and feel my heart beating but it’s not beating fast.

I hope you feel better. I know it’s hard, don’t let it overcome you because you can get through it. Wishing nothing but the best and God bless “So don’t worry, because I am with you. Don’t be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭

Yes I feel it's pretty clickbait-y as well.

We are so glad to hear this helped you in some way.

Oh yes our social media. Instead of one news companies we have 7-8 lol. Advice is to choose one source and keep it to 2 videos per day. Now would not be a good time to "take a social media break" but just limiting the amount your exposed to. For me this is what really helped. I also have a cat. I think everyone may as well have coronavirus but some get infected. Others are healthy carriers.

Have you tried DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)? Look into it or talk to a therapist about it. It has done wonders for my ruminating thoughts. Highly recommend it! I’ve been dealing w GAD for over 35 yrs and DBT has helped me the most.

Talk to her and let her know you’re there for her no matter what. Compassion can do so much. I remember having anxiety and asking my mother to brush my hair like it’s pretty because I felt so ugly & she just didn’t have a reaction. Touch is underrated. Love is so healing! ❤️‍🩹 I wish you both the best!

I used to be that bad and the thing that helped me the most was literally treating my anxiety as a science experiment. So when I'd have a panic attack and then just be in a state of constant anxiety I would do something physical, like running, or martial arts and while I was doing that activity I'd ask myself "Vanessa, why were you anxious? What triggered you? What's the worst thing that could happen? Well if X happens, how would you overcome X, and if Y happened, how would you overcome Y..." and so on.I'd write down how I felt each time and limit the exposure of that thing until I could find a way to mitigate some of that anxiety into somethign else. So brining a stone or crystal to rub, smelling oils, a song to hum, etc. so that way I could go to events and not lose my shitze. I literally cannot look around me in events or I will feel like I'm going to pass out. I need to take someone with me and hav our phones on and all that stuff so I can text them if we get separated. I pay very close attention to how my body feels at all times and will remove myself from a situation when I've reached the 40% mark. Go to a bathroom, dark cold corner, etc. I never took meds because I get panic attacks when I feel like I am not in control of myself and meds cause me to feel out of control. I don't do THC, alcohol etc. I had to learn how to use self control and feel the most subtle of changes in my body and do a lot of breathing and self soothing mind talk. It's nto something you learn over night. You have to expose yourself and fail a lot. So with your daughter I'd go out with her, walk with her mowing the lawn. Have neighbors go outside when she's mowing and repeatedly expose her to it. Saturate her. Make sure she's not on meds. You need her nervous system to be able to learn how to cope. not mask the symptoms. that does little good. she will become addicted to the meds and going off them is torture the longer you are on them. I take several herbal supplements to help my adrenals: holy basil, lavender, maganesium glycinate, b12, riboflavin, ashwaganda and more. my pcp fully supports this approach as it teaches your nervous system to cope every time your brain spirals out. it takes immense will power to resist spiraling and freaking out basically. if you can catch your panic attack before it's fully blown, you've won the battle. when she feels the onset of panic, a good way to miss direct her panic would be to write it all down. shut the mower off. pull out a note book and write down. "My neighbor came outside. I immediately feel like she's judging me. i'm going to die. something bad will happen. but why? why would anything bad happen? that doesn't make sense. it's just my neighbor. i'm mowing. what do I smell? I smell grass, it's nice out today. the weather is nice. I have something to look forward to tomorrow." and keep trying to miss direct your brain away from the distress trigger after you've written down what it was and how it made you feel.

It's a pretty legitamite stress sugar, but I tell myself and others, relax you've no body pockets and you can't take it with you! XO

foxiefair123 same! Just another day but with more anxiety lol

yup, business as usual :D

#metooagoraphobia

I not only have agoraphobia, but I’m a germaphobe, too. I guess that makes me one of the popular people now.😂 Added bonus, I’m an introvert and a health nut.

Omg.. my anxiety is so bad that I ain't been leaving the house much in the last year I'm coping well with the isolation side of things. Lol. . I cant imagine how people that love going out must be feeling 😕

If you seek help from a therapist, there is patient confidentiality to protect you. ♥️

@@lasarod those symptoms went away so no need now. Took like 6-9 months to get fully better. I feel like my normal miserable self now.

me too she's amazing.

thank you for sharing you story. it's awesome that you have been proactive. i appreciate your methods, such as "swaddling" in a blanket..I will try that! Also will start walking. Can you tell me how much (and what kind) of magnesium you take. thank you...

@@mbrights3158 Sure, aside from the magensium, I really can't recommend walking enough. It really gets that breathing back on track which helps with several of the other symptoms. I've tried breathing techniques and they are difficult for me and often just don't work well. Walking WORKS for me. Aside from mg, walking is my first go-to when I feel an attack coming on. Re the mg., I take magesium citrate powder because it's one of the most absorbent forms of magnesium. Every morning and every night, I add a teaspoon of the powder in my 20oz water bottle. So that's 2 teaspoons a day, spread out across the day. Depending on which magnesium brand I'm using, there may or may not be flavor added. If not, then I like to add a half packet of Crystal Light lemonade flavoring. Although I don't seem to need to add the flavorings as much anymore now that I've grown accustomed to the flavor of magnesium. There are other forms and one is more expensive and works even better (I forget that one) but I find the normal magnesium citrate works well for me so I am sticking with it. You can pick it up in the supplement/vitamin section of Walmart or your grocery store. There are countless brands online as well. I liked the Walmart Spring Valley brand because it doesn't have the added flavors in it and it's less expensive. But they stopped carrying it so now I started buying "CALM" which has Stevia for flavor and is a lot more expensive, but it works. I then went to Amazon and found more non-flavored so I can add my own Crystal Light flavorings. I drink a water bottle with it in the morning and another bottle about an hour before bedtime. It also helps you feel sleepy which is an added bonus.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we are working on making this available.

Hi @Revered Mother Cheryl, we've now added captions. :) Thank you again for the feedback.

Hi there. I am 26 and I have had anxiety disorder for five years. Could you share how did you recover?

@@vatsalsingh2554 It's more learning to deal with the condition, I still have it. Exposure therapy is so useful, exercise, better sleep, diet, challenging negative thought patterns, all helped enormously!

@@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358 Thank you. I just got into yoga and exercise. I am currently on medication. I am going to give my all to fight this though.

And there's no cure

@@volvaheidrbores663 Sadly you are correct. I feel like you can go in "remission" kind of, but it can always pop back up at any time.

Agree. My partner used to say "calm down" to me all the time until I got fed up (emotionally) and sat down with him and told him it's not fair to me when you don't acknowledge me there's a reason you're my partner, to support me. Quite often they don't realize they're being cruel or making you feel worse. They will say it purely so you can actually calm down. I mean that is what our goal is here. I've realized that words don't always mean intention. Then he fell into depression and knew what it felt like in my shoes. Not once I ever said that to him. It's not until you go through something will you realize how another person feels. Now he supports me with a cuddle or to talk and it feels so nice. And even though he always loved me I actually feel loved now. But it is important that you are not having so much anxiety that puts strain on a relationship. And that you are with someone who knows you and can cope with you. My ex boyfriend broke up with me because I desperately needed to see my Dad for a year, my depression was severe. Even though he was fine with long distance and I had planned to come on a flight back. Before the year was up he said he couldn't do this and I didn't love him. Despite daily communication.. Like he had given up on me yet this is the same person who knew my health was important. Mind you he is an extrovert and I'm an introvert. Can you imagine finally recovering from depression and someone leaves you for it?

@@missorchid94 THAT would be rough. But honestly, it sounds like he just wasn't the man for you. Sounds like you've got a keeper now! Take care of yourself!
