Please shawn. Don't think you can't change things around. Listen to how bad glenn was and he has overcome. I am not recovered completely but I am starting to get an odd good day where before I had none.

I’m so sorry. I’m going through it as well and grieving my mom passing away.

How are you doing now Shawn??

how are you doing now!!

Thank you so much for your comment Joel. God bless 👍🏽🙏🏾

Hi, April. I completely understand. First let me say how sorry I am for your losses. Over the last two years two close friends moved away, my son and daughter moved away and this February my brother died suddenly. On top of that I live with and take care of my 92 year old dad who had a mini-stroke this past July and I thought I was going to lose him. So, all these losses and changes resulted in me starting to have extreme anxiety and panic constantly. It feels like PTSD from all the trauma and loss. I am the same in that I don't want to leave the house. The panic during the day is horrible and I don't drive anymore either. I need to go to the doctor, too but I don't have the strength and the fear of going anywhere is terrible. Just know that I understand what you're going through. Thanks for sharing your story, it really helped me feel like I'm not alone in this.

❤️

Thanks for the support as always brother 🙏❤️ I hope you are well

Most welcome

Thank you for this comment , it really inspires me to keep doing these videos for people who are looking to overcome this. And it is a great reminder for myself to look back at how far I have come. Those forums were a great help for me too , I am creating a new video as we speak . I think it will really help people take the steps needed. I am free for a Skype call on Friday , drop me an email glenn.murphy100@gmail.com

You are most welcome man I hope the videos can help 🙏

@@FromPanictoParis they do mate, so much. Dont worry about editing and all that stuff. The realness and honesty is what its about. I needed to hear that reassurance about the dpdr because thats one of my worst symptoms for sure. i have breaks from reality where i literally feel like i dont know who i am. I feel numb emotionally to my wife and kids which i hate. Its like my emotions have been switched off except for the ones i dont want

@@mrc.p8423 tell me your daily routine man? From morning to night, a big part of this recovery plan how I ended my anxiety cycle was routine. Tell me yours 🙏. I know it's scary to have those feelings towards the ones you love most. But I promise you this is just your mind being over tired and you will return to your new self , I can promise you that. Right now have some self compassion for yourself you have been through a lot. 🙏

@@FromPanictoParis my typical day is wakeup at 5.30am. Get ready for work. Out the house at 6.10am. The drive to work will normally be when my mind will start going down a path of fear which feels out of my control.(I listen to a podcast or music whilst driving). Driving to work was where i had my first panic attack two years ago. I arrive at work in a dpdr state. Pretend im ok infront of people, when on the inside im in a dreamlike state where nothing or anyone feels real. I start doing my job which distracts me up until breaktime. I sit in my van at break and watch mma/boxing videos. Back to work and im distracted enough where im ok at times with feelings of unreality thrown in. At 17.00pm i leave work and drive home. On the drive home my mind will start going down a negative path and i'll question "who am i?" and "where am i?". I arrive at home ferling disconnected and tired. I sit and tell my wife how terrible i felt at times through out the day. My kids try to tell me about their day. I pretend im listening but really im in my head thinking how weird and dreamlike i feel. I eat, do some pullups/skipping, bit of ps4 with my lad and then go to bed and read. Listen to the calm app as i fall asleep. Next day pretty much repeat. Oh, I wakeup throughout the night with racing thoughts as well. Usually worrying about nothing or often just complete nonsense which keeps me awake. Im in bed at 10 pm

@@mrc.p8423 I see a lot of positives here that maybe you can't see , so this is good. Your job and your sleeping routine waking up at the same time every morning is one this I never had as I was unemployed. So it's great that you have that although you might not feel it it's a positive. Can I ask you how your fitness levels are ? Are you afraid to do hard exercise in fear of physical sensations and what if thoughts?

Hi Ava. What do you feel is truly stopping you ? Do you fear these thoughts And sensations ??

It's important to stop trying to get out of your thoughts. Trying to causes anxiety and anxiety causes the thoughts to stay stuck. If you accept the thoughts as coming from fear you need to be willing to keep them for a while. They will go away when you loose your fear of them.as Glenn says the problem is fear and fear needs to be faced down. Try a book by Dr Claire weekes called hope and help for your nerves. Try amazon. It explains where this all comes from and why.

@@FromPanictoParis I am going out a lot now and have days when I can cope then out of the blue during the night the weird faces come into my mind and I get down because I thought I had lost this. Did you find the anxiety trys to pull you back when you are making progress?

Hi Ivan, yes Claire Weekes méthode of acceptance did work , and the knowledge she gave me in her books sparked hope inside me , but jogging sped up my recovery a lot , it was the jogging that rewired my brain for a total shift in the anxiety state i was experiencing.
