Thanks man. It’s weird to find myself here commenting on what’s fucked about me like everyone else, but I have been plagued by “if I can’t sleep I’ll be dysfunctional tomorrow, and if I keep doing this it will ruin my life”. The issue is that this thought is TRUE. But it’s entirely self-fulfilling. How do I disengage from a true, catastrophizing thought?
As I found your videos/channel I just got done this very morning about two hours ago having an adrenaline dump- a bigger one that I haven’t had in quite awhile (I’m under a lot a lot of stress and issues I haven’t dealt with yet that I know I need to and I’m also a caretaker along with my dad for my mom who has dementia and several other serious cardiac issues ) and I stumbled across your channel as I was in the recovery/resting phase distracting my mind by being on my phone on RU-vid and just crying my eyes out.. I call it my emotional phase bc after every adrenaline dump I have, I always am so tired mentally and in what feels like my spirit and have brain fog but just these two videos of yours I have watched have helped me tremendously! I literally didn’t go to sleep until after day light last night and these thoughts hit me daily regardless if I experience an adrenaline dump and have to deal with that.. you are reassuring and very soothing bc literally everything you say I have just experienced this morning, and for the last almost 20 years with my anxiety/panic issues.. I’m 41 and feel so stupid and embarrassed for having to call my father to be beside me (worth mentioning he also has anxiety/mental issues as well as his mother,sister and brother (my gma and aunt and uncle ) so now I feel so bad because this was the first bad one he witnessed.. he asked me what it felt like bc his anxiety manifests itself more inward and he doesn’t have these Praise God and I pray he never does, but I literally explained it using your very word for word…. So thank you for your videos.. thank you for taking time and caring for us out here .. thank you for caring Enuff about others..❤ and very proud of you for all your hard work .. I’m excited to reword phases of these occurrences and work on how I can work in healing myself.
This is exactly what’s going on right now for me. I was doing so well and then I got this thought that I can’t make it go, I’m not strong enough. And my head went off the rails. Of the charts anxiety. This is so helpful
@@FromPanictoParis I’m sorry friend, it makes me very happy to know you overcame it. Unfortunately I’m still battling hard from it. I’m 40 now and I’ve had this since my early 20s. It comes in waves, it goes away for awhile, then comes back harder. Right now it’s the horrible intrusive thoughts, lot’s of fear, overwhelming dizziness and fatigued. Your videos have truly helped so much, I listen to them daily. I appreciate you so much, my family and friends have been a huge support for me too. I wish nobody would have to go through this nightmare, I pray everyone going through this quick recovery, and thank you so much once again for being the light in the tunnel for a lot of us brother.
Yes, when you have an anxiety disorder you always want to make fell you save. When I was experiencing anxiety for about more than 6 months my biggest fear were stroke, because I felt face tingling a few times. I thought I will develop psychosis because my thoughts were so racing and I had the fear of starting hearing voices and so on.. I am doing well at the moment. Still have anxiety from time to time but I am able to recognise it and just make a calmness teas. I wish good to everyone and remember that we are stronger than you think! ❤️
@@FromPanictoParis thanks mate you are so right about the nervous system my necks a been killing since it started my thought have calmed so I must be getting there mate 👍
Hi Glenn, Thank you for the videos. Can you pinpoint any one thing that turned things around for you? e.g. change in attitude / belief / external situation.
Yes they can be very scary indeed. But remember when your nervous system heals you will not have these thoughts. I had horrific intrusive thoughts. I healed and 4.5 years on I've never had them again 🙏🏽 your nervous system is just sensitized 🙏🏽
@@rayshoesmith Hey! Sorry for late response 🙏🏾. I am still healing but anxiety and panic attacks are gone. No medication or anything. God is faithful and there is hope ❤️.
@@FromPanictoParis I've been like you for 5 years when you was suffering. I wish I had your strength. It's making me and my daughter fall out because of it.cant go out shopping or live a normal life. I would love to be myself again any help would be grateful x
