“You will not feel this way forever and there are things that you can do to help you to feel better”

Thank you, I needed this.

My mantra lately: “Little by little becomes a lot”

"What can I control right now?" Something we should remind ourselves more often! Thank you !!

Sometimes i got panic attack/overwhelmed when i think about the future. my heart beats fast, hard to breathe. Im afraid of the pressure from the future, im not great with changes and adapting. I can feel my life is about to change . So i feel overwhelmed by the possibility of that changes. I feel like im not ready

[Steve-ehqv]

Thank you. The problem is that anxiety and nervousness is a physically painful experience. When I start to do work, it feels like getting a thousand paper cuts - even with medication.

I am definitely feeling anxious, overwhelmed and stressed. The fear is paralyzing. I know what I need to do, but finding the motivation to do so seems impossible. Im having trouble, concentrating, and the my stress and anxiety makes it impossible to get the quality sleep or rest that I need. Even writing this is hard because I can’t concentrate. I just want to curl up into a dark corner and hibernate. Thankfully, I don’t drink alcohol and have recently stopped smoking weed. I see a counselor, go to support groups, I try to do yoga and meditate, and get regular exercise. But it’s so hard to just get out of my own head. Videos like this are very helpful. But I just wish I could turn it off like a switch. Unfortunately I feel like the only way to move beyond this is to dig deep within myself and deal with the discomfort and try to take on small step at a time until I can dig myself out. I know there’s is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just getting there that is so difficult

Everyday, I have been overwhelmed and anxious, but at an extremely higher level. Nothing seems to work in my life, because I have "so many things on my plate" and I'm not doing what I wanted to do, which is to perform music. I bike, walk outside, nap, etc., etc., but I'm still out of control and struggling with my time to relax. Until you said, "This is a natural part about being human" and that "it's the opposite of the rose colored glasses." I'll add this to my liked videos, because you are a great source of help. A million thanks. ❤

Does anyone else get symptoms such as full pins and needles in arms/legs, shaking/twitching uncontrollably, feeling dissociated, super tired and digestive issues? Ive had anxiety for over 10 years but these are some symtpoms that have spiked and have caused my anxiety to get even worse

[feydkxr]

There are many on line therapy videos but your sincerity comes through and genuinely connects. Thank you

I saved this video in my favorites so that every time I feel this way, I can listen and follow your instructions. The entire world feels so much right now on top of my grad school homework which takes up hours of my free time and some days, my entire awake time. The worst is that some days, I get so worried even when I'm trying to relax that I end up not relaxing or doing anything productive. That makes me even more anxious. Some days, I'm so anxious that I can't sleep. I'm grateful for the days where I can sleep very long because other days I only sleep 5 to 6 hours and the days I sleep long 12 hours. My brain doesn't shut off sometimes but I'm also diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety disorder which I take medications for and obviously don't work. I just have to keep reminding myself to treat myself to yoga, working out, music while walking my dog, and going to my favorite calm places. Those really help regenerate me. In the times when I'm trying to relax, I play video games and it doesn't seem to to work for me. Well I appreciate your video a lot and you brought up many helpful topics and advice.

This is the first time I ever heard anyone actually understand me. Why and how my anxiety kicks in. it's exactly the "dark glasses" and I can't actually see that I slept to little, tired and a bit sad and that influences how I see things. Just stepping outside and seeing this helps.

[colehowe]

I genuinely appreciate you posting this so much :’) heading into my first software job post graduation right now and this seriously helps tremendously ❤️

[dhannamangroo]

Lessoning to these words ...
made a lot of sense...
focusing on what we can control, makes a lot of sense appreciate your help tanks much.

[LukeRogers-utci]

For me I realized that Im my worst critic and i focused on my insecurities and started judging myself because of that. And in doing so I thought everyone was judging me for my insecurities and was focused on me. I also push myself more than I have to and was overwhelmed with work and life changes

[michaelphillip]

Hi Dr. Garcia, Michael from Trinidad & Tobago. All of your videos and teachings are very informative and applicable. HFA is very new for me, but I realize that learning more about what you are going through, helps you to handle it better. Thank you again.
