This is exactly what I tell people: Life is not cured; it's managed, so learn to become a good manager of yourself. :)
Thank you, Dr. Lamb, and thank you, MedCircle!

Fear and anxiety are very different, in my opinion. I am on medication for anxiety, which has nothing to do with fear. I'd give just about anything for a cure to my anxiety. Fear is the natural response to danger, real or imagined. My anxiety comes from my abusive past, which to me is not the same as fear.

Thank you. Helpful in talking about this sort of thing coming up at our church. People don't realize there is a "helpful" fear and not to be condemning of self or others when it happens. Just work through it!

For me anxiety is me realising there was something in the past I should have done differently, but instead of thinking about that first my brain skips straight to, thinking about how people around me react and how things will get worse and worse and worse, and then I get emotional, and my senses gets stronger and my mind goes into stress mode

Thankyou Medcircle for this Vlog.

As a Person Grows Old sometimes a Dreading Past Bad Experience, an Episode which lead to Insecurity or a Fearful ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) due to an ODD, gets Conditioned, Masked over 🎭 with Different Layers or Colours. This Core Fear 😨 lying inside the Different Layers comes out as a Panic Attack in the Later age. That's when some of the Adults are considered as an ADHD

I have Experienced this when I was Diagnosed with Psychosis 10 yrs Ago.

As on Present Date, apart from Anxiety I am also considered as an ADHD Patient. Like even if I am having a Normal Conversation, my entire conversation is considered as an ADHD or I am considered as a Narcissistic Person who expects Respect or Obey me.
At times Provoked intentionally again and again to Communicate with Unwanted People having Cheap attitude, Cheap Mindset similar to a Criminal with Cheap upbringing.

This triggers Anxiety and Anger both, which appears to be a Narcissism.

My understanding of fear and anxiety is that fear is about something (real or imaginary) that is happening now whereas anxiety is about something that may or may not happen in the future. Any opinions on this?

[Mopantsu]

My fear is of possible bad things to come also known as catastrophizing (reading the news makes it worse) and health issues (what is that new bump I found or pain?).

I have fear of abandonment from anxious attachment style that I didn't know I have until recently (thanks for the videos you did on CBT). Now I understand why I ended previous relationships before they got serious which used to get me wondering what was wrong with me. Just got through a break up (that I initiated) due to our differences. Thanks for the explanation of good vs bad fear and coping mechanism

[nabimanyaagabus]

Thank you doctor, thank you the host. I have schizophrenia and fear makes it worse, worrying i could get panic attacks actually brings a panic attack, it's crazy.

[jonanon]

I used to have fear that made sense.
After trauma, I have fear that makes no sense.
I want to cure the latter.

[shad]

In my opinion childhood trauma created fear in my life and because I did not cured it, my fears have increased by leaps and bounds. Now I feel I can no longer cure my fears. Thanks 🙏

[teresabarata]

I really enjoyed this chat, yet I am so confused about my anxiety and fear as I have both. Currently on medication

[justmadeit]

If you have ever suffered from extreme depression where you have felt sui cidal then you’ll know how genuinely scared and fearful you will feel in that state. It’s terrifying

[jennifermarzahn]

Fear versus excitement versus anxiety. Sounds convoluted.

[poeticnation]

This was very helpful, thank you for sharing.

Good fear in the workplace would be a strong motivating factor for joining or forming a union.

[redheadedandblessed]

So Trauma and CPTSD patients activate both from past Trauma - So we can work on challenging our thoughts by asking is this a physical threat or is this an emotional threat?

Pain hurts in different levels as anxiety does but I see my pain or feel Anxiety is pain no one understands because they can't see my anxiety but a wound someone can see and understand. Anxiety attacks small places or the whole body and then guilty because anxiety you try to hold it together because no one will understand.

[nancymarie]

Do you think that if someone has anxiety someone their really close to can develop it? And start to develop symptoms of anxiety as well?
