So many good points - and so many challenges. I got better by myself last time after just learning to live with the stress and pain. I eventually accepted. This time, now strange symptom that no one seems to have besides me but doctors can't address. Take ownership of anxiety - that rings true.
Congratulations to you Jim for your deep understanding of the anxiety disorder.. you are the best , most genuine, very knowledgeable..and above all .. that you like to help people..you seem Godsent..
The nurse suffers exactly the way that I do. Everything that she said, I deal with also. She obviously has seen way too much working in the hospital and I also worked in a hospital, it as a nurse but I worked in medical records and read some horrific charts. I also worked in other departments which brought me to see suffering and hear suffering and I am also an empath. As she spoke and I thought about what she would love as I would…it would be to live in a spa like atmosphere where nothing or no one can bother us. We know that horrible things happen but we almost want to live in a world where we think it doesn’t. If we don’t hear it or see it, then it can’t be happening. I suffer every day and I sure do hope that there is a heaven because living in hell here on earth is not an easy thing to do. Anxiety, depression, and ptsd and who knows what else is a tough way to go through life. I hope that she will get better in the future….I do not know her age but I do know that hormonal changes can take everything and exacerbate it and put you aboard a run away train. I was 45, 46 when I really started to get bad even though I had it most of my life. I am 69 now and have not had much relief even with medication. I will say this……sleep and lots of it, can help but with kids and a husband, I doubt that she is getting much of that. Thank you Jim for the video.
I had a history of childhood emotional trauma and developed anxiety in a crippling capacity 12 years ago and, although I make progress, I tend to backslide. Any somatic symptom instantly triggers worrisome rumination and eventual paranoia. Hypersensitivity (smell, hearing, somatic sensations), cardiophobia, gastrocardiac and other issues are complicated by any normal little sickness or digestive complaint (IBS tends to come with anxiety it seems). It's been up and down with no complete recovery. It's hell. But I got my doctorate and am successful in my career. I would like to remove that hypersensitivity though and experience joy once in awhile.
Congratulations on your success despite the challenges growing up. That's great! Have you considered working with a therapist on your remaining underlying factors?
Hope your in a better place now. I can relate to most feelings you have had and its difficult and sometimes a lonely journey not to be able to trust situations. Personally im very apprehensive and its a big part of who i am. Big hug to you. 🕊🌟🙏
I've had all these in past I cannot get the right shoulder muscle tension going under armpit exercising 60 mins day now meditating is this common Jim to use the shoulder drives it mad
I can so, so relate to the young man who had problems with stalling his recovery. In particular, I am addicted to weight training and have been this way for the past 13 years where I spend at least 2 hours a day weight training. Also, I use a psych med and I don't really like these, but like you said they make a lot of the symptoms disappear or more tolerable. So, how do I commit to stopping my weight training addiction because I can't go more than two weeks before I go back towards weight lifting? I want to recover, but I can't let go of exercise how have others resolved this cause you're definitely right about it ramping my nervous system up. OK, that's it.
Many others have had to dramatically cut back on rigorous exercise until their bodies recovered from hyperstimulation. They resumed their rigorous workouts once they recovered.
I spend most of the week working by myself. I am an office manager for a church, and on most days I see maybe a handful of people. Some days, I see no one. I've read where social isolation is a large contributing factor for anxiety. What can I do to make the work days less lonely?
Ok. I was asking because we have a couple of articles in there that address your question. Suffice to say, there are many ways to compensate for the social isolation of working alone. A few include: • Spending more time with loved ones when you can. • Join online forums and communities. • Attend conferences and networking events when you can. • Collaborating online or in shared workspaces. • Make frequent video calls to friends and colleagues. And so on.

I think I can somewhat understand what you are going through 🌸 sending you a warm hug . Hang in there. I am working on myself too

Thank you for your very kind comments!
So wish I could have some therapy from this guy.

Nurses go through so much. The stress can be unimaginable.
You are most welcome! And thanks for your comments. My heart goes out to all frontline medical workers. A tough job under stressful conditions.
Yeah - PAIN - that's the tough one. God help us!
Love your channel

Is walking a hour a day ok for recovery muscle tension
Leisure walking is a good way to reduce stress and tension. I used to walk a lot.
I spend most of the week working by myself. I am an office manager for a church, and on most days I see maybe a handful of people. Some days, I see no one. I've read where social isolation is a large contributing factor for anxiety. What can I do to make the work days less lonely?
Are you a recovery support member?
@@anxietycentre no I’m not.
