Dealing With Anxiety - Sharing and Learning With Others

I’m not sure why, but I get really inspired when I come across people who are living with panic and anxiety and are fighting their way through it. Obviously I feel a connection with anyone like this, because until a couple of years ago that was me, so I know what it’s like to be battling against this horrible stuff every day of my life.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos from people who have some form of panic disorder, and although their stories are often sad, in most of these people I see a fighting spirit that I know will see them overcome their problems eventually.

I also bet that making those videos is great therapy for people, because not only do you get lots of stuff off your chest, but you also get lots of comments and personal replies from people who are fighting the same battle, or who fought the same battle in the past.

Surrounding yourself with people who have beaten the problems you’re facing right now, or even people who are fighting the same battle as you right now, can really make some incredible things happen. This goes back to my “surrounding yourself with recovery” idea that you might have heard me talk about before. And it’s an idea I really firmly believe in.

Anyway, what started all this off for me this afternoon was a couple of videos I watched from a girl who’s trying to overcome agoraphobia. I’ll put one of her videos below so you can take a look and maybe find some common ground with her, which may spark some new angles and new concepts in your own mind and have some positive effects on you.

A quick warning: there is some pretty strong language in this girl’s videos as she explains her situation and her past, so if you would rather not hear those kinds of words, this might be one to avoid.
