RAW TALK | DEALING WITH ANXIETY | AMYMARIE

Animals is the best grounding tool for me.. they definitely pick up the vibes and they definitely know and try to 'griund' you and bring you back ....

I'm nothing like you. You put anxiety in words that people can understand. You are an amazing communicator and a loving spirit... thank you

"Its not something that defines me"... Thats the key!! Its easy to wrap up your identity in your experiences, but its not your challenges or failures that define you, its the direction you choose for your journey that defines you. Thats why they say life is a journey not a destination.

I’ve been dealing with health issues for the last 4 years and it has caused a ton of anxiety in my life. The way you described it is spot on. Thank you for sharing. I know you are helping a lot of people, including myself 😃

I’ve had all of my attacks during peaceful moments, where it’s the last thing you’d expect to happen. 🤷‍♂️ Anxiety is triggered in some people but has no rhyme or reason for others, like me. That’s something people typically don’t understand. I’ve always been easy going. This isn’t nervousness. It just happens. It’s like your body thinks its dying and goes into panic mode. One thing I do is get physically comfortable and start to focus on small things that are real, like feel a texture, focus on something colorful, or maybe watch the leaves swaying in the wind. It helps “bring me back” to reality. Take care, Amy, and thank you for sharing!

I struggle with depression and sometimes anxiety. Im not good with large crowds or loud noises for a long period of time. One time i went to go watch the Aurora lights by myself and there were a lot of people. I started to have a panic attack and almost left. Then i remembered i had a speaker in my truck and i grabbed it and played music, and that helped me settle down and relax. Music helps me with my depression and anxiety. As does nature. Also you spread such kindness and happiness. Keep doing that AmyMarie. You are an amazing person! Don't ever lose that trait!

About anxiety, I have been leading with this for many years. Suffering multiple panic atacks everyday. As you said in the video your thoughts and your body can give opposite informations: your body shakes and feels fear whereas there is no objective danger so you think that everything is ok, but the body doesn't agree. I had to study and practice many years to be able to get rid of most of this anxiety. And as you also said, the solution is to take care of you, because if you don't eat in a healthy way, learn how to move and breathe in a healthy way, organise your activity respecting your human limits, all this resulting in positive thinking, you will always have your body, made of chemicals (what you eat, drink,...) and your nervous system in a bad condition, and this will sonner or later lead to anxiety. Hopefully, people like you give an examplified message of hope showing the power of positivity. I wish you the best, so to all the people who support you

I like that You talk about this as an influencer because those people who look up to You realize that they are not allone and You are not allone either!👍🏻✌🏻✨

Inside Out is a fantastic movie! I don’t think Pixar has a bad movie, from my experience. I hope you’re doing amazing! A great therapist is always helpful, and good friends and family. That’s what’s helped me, especially in the last year. I finally have a therapist that is HELPING me to improve my existence. Returning to spiritual is the next step I have for recovery (from a trauma I was stuck in for 9.5 years). Thank you for your videos! This is my first non short video. You’ve put a smile on my face nearly every video I’ve watched. I say “nearly” because many, I’ve already been smiling. Keep smiling and at least showing US your happiness. Happiness is infectious.

Well, I didn't know I suffered anxiety for the longest time. I deal with mild anxiety, mild depression(used to be worse), and I was suicidal. I attempted a couple times. It's a road I hope to NEVER take again. The way I've been dealin with it was usually alone(like most). So I just ride the storm when it happens or I avoid the triggers as much as I can. There's always a light at the end of every tunnel. I've never let anyone in. It has always been easier for other people to open up to me than me to anyone else. (Troubles to an unrelated situation). This world needs more people like you. Keep doing you. You are awesome. 😊👍

My own experience of chronic anxiety, depression and panic disorder has been a response to life changing injuries. Most people seem to get and respect the physical challenges I face, but seem to find the emotional and psychological consequences hard to take, hard to understand and hard to tolerate - as do I really. I'm grateful to people like you Amy for sharing and helping folk understand. I'm in awe of your positive spirit too!

"You are 100% guaranteed to spend 100% of your time in life with you." Sigh Aaron... We need to talk...

The past few years I have done a lot of work with anxiety, stress and so on. I spent a lot of time identifying a trigger, and interestingly enough it always narrowed down to a fear which more often than not was subconscious and irrational. Now anytime I feel stressed or anxious I always go straight to asking my self, "what am I afraid of", and once I identify that I am able to work through that anxiety and stress with the tools I have taught myself.

Amymarie, I am really grateful to you for sharing such a positive and human message, full of hope, good humour and simplicity. I am fully convinced that speaking and teaching this way is more effective to reach the heart of the people to make them change, little by little. You are giving back hope in human beings. Thank you. I am living in south Spain, Granada and if one day, by any chance you come visit this wonderful place, very rich historically, with a deep artistic background, you are very welcome. Have a wonderful day Devi

I am a Family Doctor from Switzerland. I really appreciate your testimony. It is very important to talk about anxiety and panic attacks. From what you said, it is also possible that you have some kind of arrythmia, like wolff parkinson white syndrome etc. Have you had your heart checked and an ECG? There are also devices where you can record an ECG during an attack. I would recomend it. WPW-Syndrome could be treated :) best wishes from Zürich!

I loved this video. I've had to grapple with panic attacks- not affecting me specifically in open settings but would come on very hard during private moments. I've learned to deal with it with having "emotional" time during hours of the night, giving myself the emotional release and reflection time. I love the fact you talk about the hard hitting subjects. These untalked about issues that effect everyone the most. Love your videos Amy. Keep doing you! ❤️

Thank you so much Amy 😊 for taking the time to share all those thing with us 🥺 you are such an amazing woman ❤️, I wish you a beautiful weekend 😊✌🏽 #Goodvibe

One thing that I’ve found that helps me stop feeling anxious is taking a nap, while listening to some peaceful music in the background.

Its hard when you feel like you have dealt with traumatic experiences and something severe happens in your life and it brings everything up to the surface. I had 3 forms of ptsd now and have lots of panic attacks which you can't stop but try and recognise the triggers. It helps to talk to others and to help others with theirs. It helps to know that you're not alone. People judge you for it but screw it as it doesn't matter what strangers think. My working dog helps me through mine. He is my rock and protects me always. Look out for each other and stay safe x

I always thought anxiety is when you try to do something that's out side of your comfort zone, and you just get extremely nervous. Glad to now know how it actually feels ♥️♥️
