I am exhausted trying to deal with my anxiety!

I realized that i am feeling anxious almost every second of my life. I am actually assessing every action of mine to determine whether i am a narcissist or not. Some negative thoughts come up and i get anxious about being toxic. I really need to calm down

Something that worked for me through CBT was to laugh at myself....and say out loud ..
"here we go again" And laugh....also I would say ...."this is not real". Bringing myself back to reality
that everything is okay.

Thank you Barbara. I'm in a dark place right now and really struggling. I am finding your videos a real life line as I try to be proactive through this bout. Thank you.

Deep slow breathing or diaphragmatic breathing is something I regularly forget is a thing..and yet so easy and effective in the moment to calm the body and nervous system. Appreciate these videos very much.

I have somatic anxiety. I don't believe the problem is random events we have no control over, it's the perception that we have no control. We can always make preparations to ameliorate the effects.

And yes, deep breathing helps. Many thanks for the reminder.

I love to listen to you Barbara. You explain everything clearly and in such a manner that anyone can understand. I can give myself an anxiety very fast, and it take me hours or days to get rid of it. Usually it is from intrussive thoughts, or sometimes it starts right in my stomach. In 2022 I took a work position that was giving me anxiety and severe stomach ache, and my body was so dysregulated, that even unrelated stress was giving me severe stomach ache for hours. I had to take pain relievers every time, because it lasted for hours otherwise. The whole vicious cycle lasted maybe 3 months, untill I completely gave up on this job mentally, didn't care to keep it anymore, and be ready to quit if needed... Once I got to this point, my pains stopped....Severe stress can hurt you physically...

Thank you! It all happens so fast making it difficult to identify what came first. Thought, body,

It's fascinating how often examples of catastrophizing end up with the person fearing homelessness. My adult aging sibling is homeless (chronic) and that is the trigger for my constant intense anxiety (which is both cognitive and somatic at the same time usually). Being homeless is not the worst case; it can get worse than that. And when your anxiety and worry is involving the health and safety of a homeless loved one, one whose health and safety has already been in jeopardy, the catastrophizing mind goes to some truly horrific places. Yes, the feelings of sadness and powerlessness are there. Your anxiety/boundaries video was a gem as well.

This is destroying my life and making me miserable. That, and my depression. My impulse control goes straight to 0 when the anxiety is at its peak...
Then when it's over, I'm lie "What just came over me?"
It's like a second person takes over when my anxiety is at its peak...

I fight... Women. I wage war.
With my husband, I flight.
Anxiety causes delusions...
I literally believe what ever is going on in my head... Replaying it over and over and over in my head.
This is affecting me to the point of frequent anxiety attacks.

How can I reach you? Do you take Tricare?
Offer online therapy?

Thank you for your reminders of how important it is to calm the body through breathing and grounding activities. It's a learning curve and a process. I love the way you focus on just a few things at a time. It helps me apply what I've been learning the last couple years to whatever arises from day to day. 💟🌹 Thanks again!

Oh sh*t, this was very helpful. I always dismiss people on the topic because they don't feel like they know what they are talking about, but lo and behold I had the opposite feeling with you :) Mine is definately somatic anxiety and it's CONSTANT and manifests as super tight legs, super tight muscles, a constant current of fear in my legs.
