Recognize it’s a negative thought. Accept that it is there. Put it under the anxiety umbrella, and move on to living.
Whoever Suffering with anxiety,I bet will feel better after that :
1.Do whatever you are afraid of with anxiety
2.Think that its normal
3.Stop watching or using social media for some time
4.Talk with people or your loved ones
We are no longer fearing the thoughts. To ignore would mean there’s something to fear, or something to avoid.
Hey Shaan, I have been following your content for almost a year now. I used to watch your videos religiously hoping I was one step closer to fully recovering from anxiety. Recently, I just stopped watching altogether because anxiety no longer matters!! Thank you!!!!
I am 100% anxiety free!! It is possible. Just be patient and hopeful. Do not put a timeline to your recovery. Just take it one day at a time!!
Hello sister can you give me a reply for my simple
Q- i am doing preparations for my neet exam and now in the critical time that i got to focusing 100% i am distracted and make foolish thought or negative i can’t had so much time to recover from it bcoz i want to do continued my studies ..?
Please give me a solution please
I’m so happy for you! Thanks for spreading hope.😊
@@CnkRAPPER_200how did your exam go brother?
Instrusive thoughts were my worst symptom. Mostly self-harm, violent stuff. After discovering Shaan and practicing the correct response, they aren’t an issue anymore. Even if I do notice them, the charge of fear isn’t there so they don’t stick.
How you get over this plzz tell me
@@kunalpuri3432he literally just said it
@@kunalpuri3432 do as the video says. And I just want to add that it takes time , discipline and understanding. It’s not something that will go away in weeks. It takes months months . Anxiety recovery is slow
Yep, the self-harm stuff is what made me decide to get myself admitted to a hospital in hopes of getting the help I knew I desperately needed at the time. Crazy, bizarre thoughts; especially scary in the middle of the night. So, I try to remember to remind myself: "It's just anxiety", "You're not going crazy", "You know you don't want to harm youself (for others' sake, if not my own)", "This too shall pass", etc. Glad you've been able to move beyond this part. I'm still working on it, but this video gives me a glimmer of hope. Not sure what I would have done if I hadn't discovered Shaan (and the DARE people, and Dr. Claire Weekes). But, Shaan is my go-to guy when I'm in a rut.
@@jasoncastle don’t lose your hope, it takes lots of time, it is a big process. But many people are prove that you can overcome, the smallest improvement is already an advance , best of luck in your journey !
My sister,a counselor,told me,' when your washing the dishes, focus on washing dishes, or clean a floor,one tile at a time, keep busy if you can
Keeping busy is also avoidance. You’ll be busy all the time just do that you don’t stop, knowing that you’ll need to deal with symptoms if you do. Allow them to exist.embrace them, don’t wish them away, and just continue on with whatever it is you want to do.
This can help give you a break from the thoughts but eventually the thoughts will come back. It can be a good tool while your learning to practice this new way of technique
@@bgirl0184jyeah I tried it it work but like you say it will come back and I'm became sad.
I prayed about this!!!! & I’m so glad god lead me to you
Just watching or listening to your channel during my anxious struggles helps me feel grounded again.
You saved my life … thanks to you I can drive on the freeway again
That's something I can't do yet is drive on the freeway
I just discovered this channel after a panic attack two days ago. It’s really helped a lot, thanks so much for what you do. Everyone gets better from anxiety/panics!!
I found this channel after 3 years. All the damage was already done. I am happy that others found it very early. I dont wish even my emeny to go through this.
@@bhargavdivakar7159 yes same, I wouldn’t wish anxiety and panic attacks on anyone. Hope you’re doing well friend!!
@@Justaminshow are you now?
@@thakurankitsingh620 hello! I’m actually doing really well, I’ve been applying all the acceptance tips from his videos. Also if you can ,read the book “The Power of Now”. YOU are NOT your mind! I still have some symptoms & I suffer from a lot of derealization but it don’t affect how I live anymore.
What a blessing to find this so early on. I found this 12 weeks into me “falling into the cycle” as they call it, and yet I’m still so thankful. I hit the jackpot!
I recently started having anxiety and I was literally scared for my life I was in the car just going on about my day when my body felt like it had left it’s self I felt numb my heart rate was beating crazy and I thought I was gonna die I kept telling my mom that I’m gonna miss her and I started bawling out crying I went to the director where I talked to a therapist and she explained to me what I was having was an anxiety attack and some come and never come back I went to sleep and expected for it to go away but I woke up feeling deperolization , feeling like I’m gonna die trouble shallowing shaking foggy mind feeling like I’m in a movie just a bunch of negative thought I recently went to a hospital after having a minor anxiety attack again and they gave me medication but I still felt like I wasn’t here and I still felt weird I’m still struggling tremendously with this and you guys give me hope I also have trouble breathing google played a big part until I found out that google is a liar I hope everyone out there dealing with this finds peace in this and over comes it I’m still fighting and I will make it I will be a survivor
You will be fine I promise!
It was me 3 months ago and fast forward I am much better though I had to take Zoloft which I quit but it did get me through it...but anyway you will be fine as I say it again...each and everything you said has happened to me and it was all of a sudden.
Just make sure to take your VIT d and b12
How are you doing now ? I am also suffering from worst anxiety
please never stop making this content!
What’s helping me is learning to observe the thoughts but not allowing my thought to regulate my mood
Love your videoes Shaan! These have definitely helped me with intrusive thoughts.
Being OK with the thoughts and not being logical with it. Also, not giving it any value (which fuels it) by reacting to it. Overtime it gets better and you go back to living again.
God bless you man!
Thank you! This is so helpful! ❤
thanks for your content shaan ,it helps a lot , God bless you
This is soooo good Shaan. Thank you so much. You are 100% right about small tweaks being so important.
Isonomia and intrusive thoughts. I even failing to bond with my kids. Everything was ok and life was good and happy .but Isonomia has destroyed my life.i feel so anxious the whole day, overthinking.
Exactly same is happening with me plzz tell me the solution
You guys, this IS the solution. Even when you feel brain fog, confusion, scary thoughts, ALL of it, yiu need to ride the wave, not beat it back. Just egknowledge it, and keep doing what your doing. You'll be fine! Dont put a limit on ypur recovery, start doing normal things, as if you had no anxiety at all.
Thank u so much Shaan ❤
It’s not the thoughts it’s how I feel….
sometimes these thoughts are there when you just wake up, even in your dreams
For me actively "not engaging" in thoughts was contraproductive, instead as my analytical nature of brain my brain wants to think things through and when I get thoughts I just tell myself its alright to go all out and analyze, think, reflect but not with the goal of the feelins going away, just letting my brain work however its nature is to work. So if you have an "ocd" type of brain allow it to be an "overthinking" or obsessive brain. Dont try to calm it down, just let it go all out thinking mode whenever it wants to. We all have different brain natures. With time thoughts n thinking just gets boring n you have this bs thougts just spinning that you dont care about. Important thing tho is realising whatever feelings n sensations pop up in your body is totally out of your control, so you are okay with feeling everything you feel whenever it pops up.
I’m not sure this is good advice. Overanalyzing things is what gave me anxiety, health anxiety and stress and ultimately made me nervously ill. I read somewhere that anxiety is trying to figure everything out at once. To me “not engaging” in a thought is the same as when I do something that gives me anxiety. Not engaging is hard af and makes my amygdala shoot a stress response. But in the long run I am rewiring my brain and beating anxiety at the same time. With this being said I’m happy your method work but for most of us I believe Shaan’s ‘method of acceptance is best.
Thank you shaan❤
Thankyou so much shaan 😊
Gr8 timing today
Depression and anxiety is a real problem for me sometimes can't sleep and thought go on for hours
You are great really clever
having a relapse of hocd and anxiety right now, this helps i think :)
I'm beginning to let go of Depersonalizing, just a new mantra for me, mahalos
I’m going through the same thing . Can you give me some advice please
Thank you very much 🙏
10000000000000% true.... good.. job.. and thank you so much
I'm at a job sitting in front of a computer comparing numbers all day. My thoughts are impossible to ignore. They bury me, coming in waves one after another until I don't know what's real anymore.
Thank you ❤
I have much better life now. Its going well but all those toughts from past is just reminding me and i dont want to think about it at all. Sometimes is fine but simetimes is so bad that it makes me cry. I tell my self that im no longer there but it still reminds me of it.
I’ve had panic attack 7 months ago from weed edible, and I fell into the anxiety cycle. I realized that distractions is the best way to deal with it. I am not fully recovered because of set backs but it’s much easier to handle it now. Never give up and repent and trust in Jesus so you don’t make stupid sinful decisions again lol.
Bro you are exactly the same as me. i got fork weed THC vape 7 months ago
@@GODzOfficialsame
Omg me too!
Hey guys I am exactly one year in now updating. I am feeling a lot better now, but still have some symptoms sometimes that makes me feel down and depressed. But I am keep going until I feel 100% free again. Also don’t smoke weed so you don’t go back again to anxiety.
Everyday I think about how this is going to be my life forever. That my health is declining from all the stress, thoughts and anxiety. I think, “How am I going to live like this when I’m older if I have all these symptoms? How will I know if the chest pain, smothering sensation, palpitations etc. are actually something serious that needs medical attention?”
I feel like I will need to live in a hospital in order to be able to live. I feel like my future is already doomed. 😕
I understand what you’re going through but try not to put that into the universe. One day at a time. One moment at a time.
Don’t claim it. Trust me it will work it self out. It’s all fear. Somehow GOD will take care of it ai. You’ll be stronger than ever
Don't worry with time all the symptoms will vanish..
.I've also done so many body tests even CT scane all are clear but still feeling I'm not physically well it's just brain game which I'm also trying to play with it.
I feel the exact same way. Been 1.5years now of constant anxiety and panic. And it's thrown me in a major depression. Feels like my life is over
thanks man
Thank you❤
I cant even exactly explain my anxiety thoughts. Thats always been my issue with it
Good day! ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes I have thoughts about my family or boyfriend not loving me. It starts to feel real. Thought process is (they don’t truly love u , ur living a lie , ) I start to see things differently and miss myself before my anxiety relapse. When I wasn’t anxious i wouldn’t think like this and if there would be a small worry I usually be like “no they do love me “ but now that my anxiety relapsed im scared that I’ll believe that my my family doesn’t love myself .
Thank you for another helpful video! Most people can ignore Intrusive thoughts but it is not easy to ignore and get out of those intrusive thoughts to people with OCD. Are there any other advice except trying to make a gap between my thoughts & myself?
I hate the Music comercial before each video. Too long to wait. Don’t need it.
A breathing technique called Kapalbhati and humming works for me to disengage the brain from the nervous system. Kapalbhati is a fast pace respiratory exercise or pranayam. Remember, If you ever feel down always remember to hold a simile!
Hi! Some of the thoughts can be something personal? I fall into the cycle some months ago, i feel that some of the symptons get away. But now i m strugling whit overthinking about one particulary memory froam the past, something that was resolved for me. But now it seems that i cant move on. Is normal, you think i should do something about it or label it as anxiety?
Sir, please, please do a video about the Bodydismorbhia disorder anxiety recovery video, please
I always fear about my health. I am underweight no matter how much i eat i never gain weight i was healthy back then but now due to depression and anxiety i have been losing myself. I have trouble remembering things. I often experience panic attack. I always have my heart beat more than 100. Even though it may be notmal but seeing the bp machine i just start fearing what the result might come and hence it comes with what i had thought of, heart palpitations occurs. My brain is my enemy it just forces me to think about things that may never happen. I always have scary thoughts about dying or having an illness or my limbs will stop working and i will have to cut it off. I dont know why i fear so much. I have lost every feeling within myself i just fear cancer and many more diseases. I can't stay calm I am always tensed and worried about it. I can't see my future i feel like there is only darkness ahead of me. I cant seem to understand anyone. People judge me for how i look but they never try to understand what i have been feeling. I cannot tell anyone my family blames me as if i am always playing the victim card but even if once they understood what i have been going through all these years i might not have suicidal thoughts everyday.
What if I cant figure out what thought its,its just bunch of thoughts, horrible time:(
I hate my life, i quit leaving my house, im just exhausted from Anxiety then Depression follows and worst of all my Doctor doesnt believe me, just horrendous
You're not alone. It's super frustrating but we gotta keep going.
Sounds like you need a new doctor
How much bye bye Pani mentorship program will cost in Indian rupees help me out . Thank you.
i felt like i was recovering and gaining healthy weight again but then i went back to feeling nauseous and my throat felt like i couldn’t swallow.
There are setbacks. And from what I’ve seen the recovery is slow. Push trough same as before , sending you strength !
@@GuadalupeGomez-ms6uorecovery is very slow, sometimes you feel you aren't getting better at all, but when you look back like over a few months, you realize you are getting a little better, bit by bit
@@vinylg3421 exactly !!
Am into this right now
Thank you so much 🙏 I had a panic attack about a month ago now, and my nervous system is still on high alert. This means that I sometimes still feel the remnants of dpdr, still get intrusive thoughts, still feel doom sometimes. But I think this strategy is exactly what I needed to see today 😊
Idk why m feeling anxious but m thinking a lot about someone for no reason for 1week i get anxious idk why and its affecting my appetite😢
Accept the thoughts but what about the body symptoms ? How does someone just "accept" painfull stomach cramps.?
Press into and massage your stomach where you feel the nervous sensation. It helps me a lot to relieve the tension
I don’t wanna go in interstates because I’m afraid of traffic jams.. it sucks I just wanna be free.. I afraid of my heart rate gong up and if something happens nobody can get to me.. but i wanna go and do things with my wife and not have these thoughts and feelings.. I wanna go on a hike and no worry about the same thing i said above.
Do all the things you are afraid of n let your anxiety go as high as it wants, may it cause you a heart attack if it wants. You wanna be free or live in fear? Simple choice. Go out there n go everywhere you want to no matter what feelings you get. When in that traffic jam tell yourself if my heart goes up now n explodes then so be it. You are in charge, this is just feelings that you gave power to
8:08 save your time
Hey Shaan. I think you doing excellent work and have helped me. But I don’t agree with the statement “you are not your thoughts”. I hear this from other people also. We ARE our thoughts, but only a small part is us. We are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our thoughts can observe the intrusive thoughts and that’s where the power comes from.
Thoughts are just an accumulation of memory recycling itself. They are not you. You are always the observer of them. Not the thought itself.
@@anxiety_recovery Again, I’m going to have to disagree with that. The observer is just our thoughts observing those other intrusive thoughts we have. But that’s still very empowering. The fact that we have thoughts that can observe those intrusive thoughts is where we get our power from.
Jesus Loves You, please seek God, he can help with whatever you are dealing with. John 3:16. Amen! God bless you! 🙏
Please please pray for me
Amen
Amen. God bless you as well!
Amen 🙏

But isn't acknowledging the thought a response as well, just like ignoring? Why do we need to go out of the way to acknowledge a thought if they are meaningless anyway?
I have false memory concerning violent harm OCD. That is my defining experience of my OCD journey. I wish to comment here to know if I am alone in this... meds caused me a lot of side effects and effectively made me a zombie with wasted years (I wasted most of my 20s... I am 28 now)
Wow, wrong meds I believe, my old meds made me function so very much
@@user-xd8pj2mm4t I have been on 7 different kinds of meds. They just blasted my brain. No thanks. I wanna and gonna leave meds for good
You might have been on the wrong medication. Usually when you feel any type of negative side effect that won’t go away you should let your psychiatrist know. They could adjust the dose or change medication. I have violent harm thoughts and they happen the most when I am experiencing more anxiety than other days. My therapist thinks I might have pure O OCD. We are in the process of doing a questionnaire to see if that is the case or if it’s anxiety itself.
@@user-xd8pj2mm4t I don't wish to be on those meds long term.
@@lauramelgoza90 But Shaan said OCD is simply a subset of anxiety, which i believe to be true, and I don't wish to be on these meds long term. They have destroyed my life.
I need mentorship
Have you tried a good church? Look for one that's not judgemental.
I keep thinkin my heart is gona stop 😢😢
Same here. Even plenty of ECG AND ECHO
@@affnas3298 I've had heart bloods and 5 ecgs and they say ok fine nothing wrong it's hard isn't it
Start taking slow walks around your neighborhood, 30 mins a day. And you will see great results.
@@suetaniaemmanuel8107 thank you ill try
Tell yourself, if my heart is to stop then so be it. See your anxiety went up even more? Let your anxiety go as high as it wants and may it cause you a heart attack if it wants to. Now stop caring about it n move on
😢pls
Tamil
So depersonalazation is a thought
It’s a symptom of anxiety or depression or even a response to trauma
Did u go through tht
I am so annoyed by this repeating about "mechanics" and "blueprint". It's such a scam to earn money from anxiety sufferers.
100% all these CZcams coaches are a scam.
I was recovered before and didn't know about shaan. Exactly same principles of recovery i was used. There is no scam mind works this way. You can use knowledge in this videos and get to recovery, there is no secrets or obligation to pay. But personal antention and someones time is not free.
I have not paid one red cent to Shaan. All his FREE content has enabled me to recover. The principles his information is based on have been around a very long time. Ever heard of Dr. Claire Weekes?? No scam here. No shame in charging extra if people want more. Do you expect therapists to work for free?? How about plumbers? Engineers? Do you work for free? There may be scams out there, but this is not one of them.
@@thedadtris and the doctors who collude with big pharma and do not give us informed consent about the potential/confirmed dangers of psychotropic drugs are not? Coaches also tell us to consult doctors for medical advice, but these doctors do not know what they are doing more than half of the time. They do not even know how to taper us off of the drugs they loosely dispense. They are largely the reason why I have such a grim outlook on my recovery. I'd rather invest in people like Shaan than apathetic, cold doctors who have no idea what all of us go through.
Thank you shaan❤
