- Anxiety isn't just about feeling, nervous, anxious, or panicky. It can make it hard to get out of bed, do work or even face the day. As past-anxiety sufferers, we all know how hard it is to deal with sadness alone, but luckily there are people out there who have had similar experiences and want to help others get through their struggles too. In this video, Kaylee and Shaan discuss the Let-down effect experienced by those going through their recovery journey.

I feel like we have had anxiety for so long that once it starts to dissipate (and we hopefully start recovering), a sadness or emptiness appears naturally because we are letting go of a chronic habit and lifestyle which was keeping us occupied 24/7 ..all of us, let's just say to ourselves that a life without chronic anxiety is possible and this sadness will naturally fade away as we settle to a new way of life ! Its life changing so being sad only appears natural to let go of a whole lifestyle and get a new one :) good luck to all of us in this difficult journey 💝
What u r explaining is true??
Please give me some hope...
I feel numbness, depressed...
Is it okk to feel??
There is a part of recovery if you feel sad or depressed!! We have a hope
Guys one day we gonna take our life’s back😔❤️
@@locco8291 i hope too.....
I feel good and sometimes and worst sometimes....
My study ruined,,but i will start again with greater hope..
Thank you so much for your concern for my comments,, u will also recover.. .
Hi Benzy, I just want to thank you for your comment 😊 It makes so much sense the way you wrote it. Like everyone I just wish to not be feeling this way after such an intense anxiety time but you have given us hope. How are you feeling and if you have any strategies that have worked please let us know 😊
@@jennyferreiravlahos I am better but not fully recovered yet.. I am listening to Shaan and applying this knowledge... keep doing this, everyone will get better xx
Today i spoke to 2 of my clients who are going through this phase ...First thing i made them realise that how lucky they are as they are now in the stage where they dont have intrusive thoughts and weird emotions...just the sadness and fatigue due to let down....i would like to add one thing here ..Dont let this let down effect let you down..wakeup .. move hit the ground and do it anyhow ..consider it just a emotion like any other emotion.. remember it's a emotion not a state
What if I’m still dealing with intrusive thoughts but I’m feeling down as well?
@@AdrianQ_yes me too… did it pass?
Wow thank you for this. The timing of this video is perfect. I have been getting better lately with acceptance and my symptoms are slowly disappearing. But then I have this super exhausted feeling and fatigue and I feel very depressed and lonely. Now it all makes sense to me. God bless to everyone. Good luck on your healing. Keep pushing. Keep accepting.
Glad you liked it
Same boat for me 😅 I'm glad the timing of this video came around when I needed it most
Same here, its a tricky situation, I thought what i’m experiencing is not part of anxiety because there is no symptoms of anxiety only feeling depressed, sad, lonely and tired all the time but this video came in the right time otherwise I would’ve been stuck for more months trying to solve a problem that its not there 😅
After how many months of ANXIETU RECOVERY PRACTICE you started to feeling this fatigue, depression and loneliness ?
@@pranavpatel92 around 4 months after I started practicing acceptance and shaan's method. Once the body started to relax then came the letdown effect. Just remember not to fight your symptoms, let it be there. Don't try to fix it. Once the body is convinced that there is no danger, your symptoms will subside.
This makes sense. I only started feeling depressed and hopeless AFTER I started to see marked improvements with my anxiety. I was high strung for months without a break, so it makes sense that my body is wondering where all of the cortisol went to.
@Agent47ruiz how are you doing now?
When the nervous system is dysregulated it can stay stuck in fight or flight response as well in freeze or it can switch between the states. Fight or flight response causes all of the anxious feelings and symptoms and when we're in freeze it can cause depression. That's why anxiety and depression very often go hand by hand, because they are the two sides of a dysregulated system. Irene Lyon has a bunch of good information on the topic.
Really? I've been in freeze and also feeling very depressed and down.

I felt better for many days since I started overcoming anxiety and today I suddenly was so lethargic I couldn't understand why. This video recommendation came to me at a perfect time
this video saved my life. i thought it was bipolar. thank you
Thanks man! I'm glad you're getting value from the content. Be strong!
@JordZ how are you now with recovery?
Kaylee's 2020 video was awesome - watched it twice!!
Kaylee is nothing short of amazing. You both are.
Every time I gets bad, you have a video that explains what stage I’m on in this journey
Thank you so much for your help Shan’ i can’t explain how much your desensitisation blueprint helped me. Then I got caught by this intense sadness . I was worrying if I am going into depression. So I thought of searching about it with your name and here I am. I have hope.
The pendulum analogy really connected the reasoning for me! Thank you!
tremendous video and it helps so much
Oh my god this is amazing. I have been having these feelings for a couple of days now especially at work I just felt so emotional all of a sudden and cried my eyes out I couldn't just control it. I didn't know why I was crying that much I just felt like I needed to and it was such a relief letting all of that out. This video literally explains my situation right now. It's weird that recovery tricks you into thinking you're getting worse, when in fact you're just getting better!!
Same for the past week I have been crying for like 30 seconds each time I felt a bit sad...and I didn't know what it was!!! I thought do I have depression now???
How are you doing now?
@@miloshi6581 same here I was confused on what was going on
@Melissa Quintero were you also feeling loss of interest and loss of joy???
@@saadhozam1240 no I don’t have that feeling.
@@saadhozam1240i m going through this right now, i don t even have any more motivation for gym or anything
Ive been scared of this feeling and it has taken me round and round in circles since august 2020... i am so happy to know WHY so now i can allow it... i feel it will be less difficult to see past it now. thank you!!
Wow, I am very impressed that you have videos on all these different phases and steps in anxiety recovery! Otherwise all these different feelings and moods could be very confusingThank you very much! 👍🏼
You two have been a GOD SEND for me today 😭
I was so scared that I was going into a depression... this is all I needed to hear. Thank you so so so much 😭💕
I just feel better after acceptance because it is due to that my debibilating symptoms go away. Your video on symptoms and recovery has helped a lot and it keeps getting better after a few bad days. thank you!
Damn this channel should at least have like 10 million subs!
This resonnates so much. I was just telling my dr the other day that "maybe i'm depressed and that's what's causing my anxiety" eventhough I've never been depressed. Thank you for sharing!
This is me right now. I feel more emotional and feel all emotions very deeply (which I always have, just on another level) especially sadness. Then I feel sleepy. I just let it be there and embrace it until it goes away, because it always does. My body just wants to go back to homeostasis. I’m getting there. I know I’m recovering. Thank you so much for this video. ❤️
How r u right now??
How were ur experience during emotional numbness and depression
@@ravishekkumar6703Hey how are you now.. have you ever listened someone having suicidal thoughts in anxiety as part of intrusive thoughts....bcoz i have such intense feelings these days.please guide me on this
This video is fantastic!!!
It’s so funny that u have a video for everything. I’m nearly fully recovered. But since like 3 days ago I feel really sad all of a sudden even though I’m doing things which actually should bring me a lot of joy. I do things with friends like I would normally do before anxiety which brought me a lot of laugh and fun and even without experiencing anxiety. However, yesterday was such a beautiful day without any anxiety at all, sun shining, but I still felt very sad during the day, which led me being really confused and scared. I was thinking to myself, what if I’ve developed a depression now, which then gave me some anxiety haha. So stoked to stumbled a cross this video. Thanks a lot Shaan
How it is now? I m going through this right now too
The pendulum example totally resonated with me , you guys are awesome 👌 👏 😎
Hey how are you now.. have you ever listened someone having suicidal thoughts in anxiety as part of intrusive thoughts....bcoz i have such intense feelings these days.please guide me on this
I like this video ❤ thank you Shaan and this girl, sorry forgot her name
Ok, I only heard about the "let down effect" very recently, but this seems to exactly describe my pattern of crashing and burning on the weekend. Over the years it seems like it has gotten worse because at various times I had studying or homework on the weekend I could use to at least partially keep myself busy. Now after putting in my time at work for the week... It at least feels like there is nothing.
I can only suspect this is made worse by being ADHD. My brain constantly needs stimulation, but getting this stimulation can be impaired by inadequate executive functioning. And of course we are still dealing with COVID...
Outside of work I don't have a lot of outlets for stimulation. And my brain can be very particular about what it likes and the longevity of an interest can be very long or very fleeting.
I googled "why do i get sick after stressful event?" And found this topic. Had no idea. But now it makes so much sense. I am not a student. But i am very focused on my performance at work and when i make a mistake and am given feedback on my mistakes, i get so sick that i sometimes call in sick the next day. I am still looking for the remedy now that i understand my symptoms.
the feelings are so strong that it's not way they don't qualify as depression. i feel like i wanna end it all.
Hey, I feel the same, let’s not give up !
@@GiovanniCandriella thank you Giovanni, we really have no other choice than keep moving forward.
How are you doing now ? @elkhalilmadani5889
@@elkhalilmadani5889 you okay ?
Shaan do a video on feel depression long term when anxeity is gone
i can relate to that m back to my normal life 90% i overcame my fears but i can feel some sadness and i can say that also emotions are part of the anxiety if you experience sadness for no reason just take it as a setback but a setback of an emotion and dont complain about it
@Yassine Chaouki still feeling that let down effect?
I have noticed when I reach a new level or after I make it through symptoms hammering me out of the blue I've either felt a physical need to cry or a wiped out depressed feeling. I've taken it to mean progress. That beginning of a new level if you're paying attention to the rhythms of it. The next wave of symptoms are less severe.
I needed to hear this. Makes complete sense…
Ive been recovering for almost 2 months now and all of a sudden i was crying and feel like i wasted 2 years of my life cause of dpdr, looking back when it started and regretting not telling anyone when i got dpdr until recently, i feel sad, lonely and bored. It was weird at first until i remembered this video.
Same here brotha
We are close kings me too im really progressing and m c’ose to full recover there s only 10% but its gonna hard for us we got accept thus feelings and everything
I’m AMAZED! How to identify it’s because of recovery or again we fall in Dipression? I’m faced another TRAUMATIC EVENT during my recovery.
I’m currently having a BAD MOOD, Feel no HOPE, Sleeping all the day. And feeling depressed. Im on my medicine withdrawal and everything was going well but suddenly I FACED TRAUMATIC EVENT. Do I need to Increase my dose ? And what are the good strategies? I m feeling like 0 Again.
Shaan I breathing problem due to anxiety when I had got covid ....now I don't take medicine anymore sleep on my own ..but still I can see I have to take a little long breathe from my mouth and from my chest ...I am getting yawning a lot also a disinterest I my work..I have accepted it ...but things are taking a long time
Please make another video about anger and irritability
So the question is ,how do I know that I'm excepting my symptoms or not? And how do I know I have anexity disorder or generalized anexity?
The rise and fall of cortisol makes sense. Could it be frequent? Like severe anxiety high alert and then suddenly symptoms calm and feeling really low and then a cycle of that over and over?
Eagerly watching the video now .. I’m also at the last stage of recovery.. been having lots of letdown effect.. best timing for this video 😍
Broo what's your symptoms now..m also facing this effect
@@gyanaranjan7525 for me its arm and leg ache and always feeling tired and dizzy
@@ranjanrr56 same
@@gyanaranjan7525 so u feel like recovered and normal like before?
Same here, no anxiety symptoms at all just feeling tired, dizzy and depressed a lot , I thought i had a new problem after I recovered but it turns out its part of the recovery, we all are on the way to recover fully one day guys💪🏻☺️
Can you please do another video on this
Can yell do enxyty over different illness from different things again like me with the dry eye symptoms do has anyone trip or be OK then start with something that doesn't let calm do this still applies like enxyty still the same or worse like talking about illness n every one catastrophic thinking or am I the only one who's spiral because of dry eyes were it hurts n feel like am seeing blurry or is it part of my enxyty idk I got into a Spanish video that said enxyty cause vision blurry but idk
Does this also apply when on meds? 4.5 weeks on antidepressants and my anxiety has waned, but now sad...
Paul David wrote a whole book. Symptoms included.
Where is the article she's talking about?
🎉hi there my Anxiety is not a bad thought I had in my head but it is real because I have been attacked in by job emotionally and mentally and psychologically even physically then I thought they will kill me .do you think I will recover from Anxiety?
Everyday is a struggle for me I hardly have any motivation I can't focus through to lack of sleep if anybody could help me with this none sleep problems advise me
How do I know if I have anexity?
Hey, am looking for a long term recovery from anxiety but this recovery journey is so confusing. For me, the major problem is the intrusive thoughts. Ik I have to accept but when I do, I don't want to sometimes fully because ik am afraid of uncertainty. I don't wanna live in the unknown but I am learning to let go of control as I can't control everything. Whenever I see light, my mind reminds me of my anxiety and there is like a mental block which I can't exactly pin point but it doesn't let me because my mind tells me no matter what, I won't recover it is like I move but then I willingly step back as I remind myself. I accepted my thoughts and I don't engage in it but idk how to not focus on the thought. No one quite explains this to me like how do I not feed it? Isn't it like resisting? Should I distract myself by watching something while still focusing a little on the thought, like again and again until it burns off. Is it okay to think, I will let the thought be there and will think about it tommorow and figure it as I can't figure all it once? Is it right to do so? I wanna take right steps for full recovery
Can you experience emotional numbness during the let-down effect?
Shaan have u done a video on productivity and anxiety, not sure if I’m describing it well but I don’t feel like doing many chores or much but then get anxious if I do/don’t do chores/self improvement as I feel I’m doing it out of anxiety or if I choose not to that I’m avoiding because of anxiety.
Not sure if this makes sense or I’m going through a weird phase 😂
Sounds alot like perfectionism.
@@window__licker basically my anxiety is if I don’t do the chores/force myself to push myself then I’ll spiral into hiding away my whole life but part of me thinks if I just let it be that over time when I feel better the productivity will come back and I’ll do it out of wanting to do it rather than doing it from anxiety?
I feel this!!! I have like this weird fear that if I stop being productive or stop trying to things for self improvement that I will mentally deteriorate
I find I can feel like this if I even over train at the gym or over do caffeine . It’s quite normal even if you don’t have anxiety in my opinion .
What do we do when it’s overwhelming? For me it’s day to day. I can be buzzing with anxiety and then feel really low hours later and feel so depressed during that low idk which is worse the highs or lows. During the lows though it just feels scary and I feel weak and feel like I’ll never find happiness. I also have severe brain fog through it all. I have worry through it all. But I go from overwhelming intense buzzing anxiety to very overwhelming depressed anxiety
Omg, you've wrote exactly how I feel, only one other thing I do is cry so much
@@mkirwan7165 :( I’m sorry your going through it, wishing you healing. I don’t cry and actually wish I could have a good cry to release some of the emotions
@@elenora67 Thank you, sorry you going through the same,💕
@@mkirwan7165 also before I forget there is a big gut brain connection. I’ve been having stomach issues. Aloe Vera juice has been helping me. Also recently started drinking Holy Basil tea. Both are very gentle without side effects maybe give it a try. Holy basil helps balance cortisol
@@elenora67 Will do, thank you,
Is it like a tired,malaise with like a light dizziness and a bit of depression? Is that the "let down effect "
Hey how are you now.. have you ever listened someone having suicidal thoughts in anxiety as part of intrusive thoughts....bcoz i have such intense feelings these days.please guide me on this
Intrusive thoughts are really anything that comes to mind that does not have your best interests in mind or conflicts with your physical and mental wellbeing. The key is to not give them power, you must recognize that they are fuelled by pain, fear,anger,doubt and hopelessness. The way to see passed them is by challenging them with trust, unconditional love for yourself, faith,and hope you need to refuse to believe the thoughts ignore them and intentionally focus on things that bring you joy,family, hobbies, ect also I reccomend you take cold showers everyday and do wim Hoff breathing exercises you can find them on CZcams for free. And continue to use the ALARM exercises that are taught on this channel. Atleast start there and commit to the process. In my prayers freind.
@@crazydrummerofdoom Thanks a lot... thing is i do not give them power yet they start dominating me...and these thoughts are such a which i can never ever imagine to have in my mind...the most dangerous one is what if i really jump off the third floor where I live...it has been two months since this thought is there perpetually.... what to do
@@vksharma3730 czcams.com/video/Th1TBG4R8NM/video.html
@@vksharma3730tell yourself my body will never do this things ever as i am not interested! live your life and this thinking will subside .. many people in anxiety have this feelings they are only random thought laugh when this thoughts come and enjoy your day
What about losing interest? I'm trying to find out if I'm in a setback or this depressive situation
And feeling numbness and not happiness,.
And one more thing what about having the temptation to sit down and sometimes sleep?
@@saadhozam1240how are you feeling today ? What helped you overcome it
Hi shaan
So if we heal when we give our body space why mediating is bad ?
tips 11:55
I can't sleep and lost alot of weight and no appetite
I can't sleep either I got bit appetite but if I worry I can't eat
Ignore it
I may have to create a vision board to become a coach, and manifest the crap out of it.
Do it!
@Greg Sinclair did you recovered from the letdown effect?
@@melissaquintero7201 it was not so much that you recover from the letdown effect. This happens naturally during recovery. The key take away is to realize that it will be part of the recovery journey. It is an up and down path or journey. You really have to embrace the suck, and know that it is just another obstacle that you need to get past. There is no switch or magic pill to fully recover. Once you start living your life alongside anxiety, regardless of how you feel. Incrementally, you will get better and better, until you realize that you have fully recovered, and anxiety is no longer something that limits your life.
@@gregowensinclair I see, that’s what confuses me the most. So if I just live my life alongside with anxiety I’d there a way to respond to the symptoms? Do I notice them and just let them be? For example I get a intrusive thought about something right Do I acknowledge it and then just let it be? Or do I ignore it that’s what I don’t get. Sorry for all the questions.
@@melissaquintero7201 Yes, you live alongside, now that you know it wont hurt your or isn't very serious. Once the fear starts to go away, and you don't care, that is when the symptoms start to fade away, little by little. The same holds true for intrusive thoughts. Notice them, acknowledge them as an intrusive thought, and move on with your day. Handle it the same way you would if you stubbed your toe. Acknowledge that it hurts, but keep walking. Over time, the pain goes away. Anxiety just takes a bit longer. LOL
What made you realize you were not bipolar when u thought u were
Starts at 2:38
Please explain brain zaps
Hey guys, has anyone of you suffred from those health worries about developing a much more serious conditions like bipolar, major or boderline like because of some unusual mood swings which ain't severe enough, u know. I've been already told that it's just anxiety but I can't get those intrusive what if thoughts under control. Freaking scared right now.
@@victorramirez70 Mental health worries, not physical as it's usual in health anxiety.
@@victorramirez70 How did you overcome that shit ?
Literally me, I'm in recovery of anxiety but I believe I'm over this part if it now
Any tips on how you got over this yet? I’m feeling the let down effect and I’m scared that this is what bipolar is ?
@@juniorlozano8415 It's simple: if you should really be suffering from a MOOD disorder (be It major depression or bipolar) than the first who is going to take notice of it will be your environment as you are mostly not aware of your super mania state and regarding depression you would not be able to get out of the hole on your own [if you can It's not what you suspect].
