How to stop feeling anxious about anxiety | Tim Box | TEDxFolkestone

Is there anyone who has had anxiety and panic attacks and is now completely fine?

I had anxiety before a Test (when I was younger). Once the paper was on my hand the anxiety was pretty much gone. Also the first time I looked for a job I couldn't eat for days (I did it but it was SO hard). Now that almost doesn't happen anymore. I had and still have anxiety before a date.. huge anxiety and I feel bad on the inside I want to not do it. Sometimes I push myself but everytime is a struggle. Until the moment i'm in there, then it's pretty much gone. I know how it works. I know at the end it will be much better, it will not go away and everytime it repeats. We know we're not going to die but it is a very unpleasant feeling.

Nevertless, I think and there is evidence that panic and anxiety disorder are a real problema and for life.

i overcame panic, today I feel a little bite bit of anxiety, passion or desire, but the problem was the lack of knowledge of myself and my excessive identification with my body and material success. The meditation of transcending my body helped me a lot.

Is anybody here in 2026

He really just made me reevaluate my entire hatred against myself and my anxiety. It's 1am in the morning and I've never felt more alive and at ease. Thank you so much for making me realize that my anxiety is not a sickness I have to get rid of. It feels like a whole mountain of stones just got lifted off my chest. My anxiety is my friend giving me advice that I can choose to take or not. So much love to you, Tim Box.

Lately I'm feeling anxious a lot. I feel like I'm losing touch with reality sometimes and that things aren't real, or that I'm not present in moments. Has anyone here gone through this ? Or is this not anxiety related?

This man GETS IT omg

his voice is soft, and it comforts my soul, thanks a lot

Surrender. This is what I've just done and it's almost a miracle cure. Do NOT fight, question, challenge what is heightening your anxiety, instead just give up. Let it say what it wants, let it try and make you think and believe what it wants to make you think and believe (however contrary to ourselves that may be, which is why we fight it), just give in. Acceptance is usually the term but "surrender" is far easier to understand and implement.

This totally makes sense, at least in my case. I was unable to get that point of view. I felt anxiety for a months without understanding why, the lion is not chasing me, it's all good now. However I was aware about some future dares in front of me, those two were colliding with each other. From the one side currently you're in a safe spot from the other hand there are future requirements waiting for your action and now thanks to "crew" explanation I understand that this is not anxiety which we can feel when meet the bear in the forest it's more like signal "Hey we are advancing future, wake up and start doing things that are required so we can get you to the right point". The problem is that anxiety, small piece of it gives us motivation, motivation gives us power and will to do big things, however we are afraid of being anxious and that's why we never get to the motivation, the longer we are anxious about being anxious, the longer we stay in freeze mode. We shouldn't be afraid to fall, we all were trying to ride a bike for a first time or start to walk and we fell once, twice, sometimes many times but eventually we are all walking, riding a bike or a car. Thank You Tim for showing me anxiety from different angle.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30



So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:31-34

I really think how you control your anxiety is what type of insurance do you have if you have a good job and make lots of money yes you're going to get a good therapist to help you but if you don't have a lot of money and you're on Medicare the therapists are totally different that's what happened to me I only had one good therapist in 15 years of this suffering

I was once been into some panic because I was kinda lost and it gets me more anxious because of it

I have agoraphobia; the fear of open spaces. I have tried for 8-9 years to convince my brain that I am not in danger. That doesn't work. Wanna walk? That seems to stop working too. Wanna work like a normal person everyday? Doesn't work either. Please help.

I started sertraline 50mg and within a month it made a huge difference. Also when I feel anxious I think to myself that I been having these thoughts for some time but nothing bad has actually happened so there's nothing wrong and that thought makes me calm straight away.

Those who are still struggling, just keep trying you'll beat this monster. Humans can do anything. Keep going lovely people.

WARNING ⚠️ don’t listen to this during severe anxiety. He made me feel more stressed just waiting for him to get to the point. 🤬

Excellent, very insightful 💐💐

Society is constantly making me anxious, with poor customer service, the constant rush, and people who can't think for themselves.

Anyone here in 2026

A man speaking on emotions 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Thank you Tim Box

how to build confidence

This video really helped. Thank you! I had to take a break, give myself credit rather than criticism, and sit down with the crew to let them be heard. I was also running on fumes which didn’t help. I no longer use social media as I feel we can compare ourselves too much on there. Good luck to all!

thank you sir i feel it helpful

There are times I feel overwhelmed by my anxiety and panic, and I end up crying and wondering why I have to go through something so painful. I feel frustrated with myself because I’ve had moments where fear and tension affected my performance, especially in important situations like exams, where I couldn’t recall what I studied.

At times, I feel embarrassed and disappointed, as if I haven’t achieved what I hoped for in life. The uncertainty and fear can feel overwhelming and hard for others to understand. I’ve had setbacks in my career and confidence, and sometimes I feel like I’ve lost direction.

But even in those moments, I remind myself that giving up feels easy, but continuing to try takes strength. My life has been a series of ups and downs, and I’m still in the middle of figuring things out.

What I hope for is a future where the fear doesn’t control me anymore—where I can feel calm, steady, and able to smile without carrying so much anxiety with me.

They made me watch this in my CCW class

I would have finished watching all his nonsense if he wasn’t a good looking guy! I was merely listening to his voice and looking at that charming face!

2026 anyone???

SoulMitra AI is like having someone to talk to whenever things feel overwhelming,a supportive AI space where you can share your thoughts freely, feel heard, and find guidance anytime you need it 💙

Thanks Tim

This is rubbish, as far as I'm concerned. I was watching television last year. When out of the blue something happened, I felt very ill. Starting shaking went into the garden and try to cope with it. Rank for an ambulance came quite quickly, went to hospital 17 hours. And got ejected, but mental health team never got to see a doctor and here I am still struggling. I think most people who think they've got anxiety have no idea what it really is because when it hits you, you would rather be dead. But it keeps coming and coming and coming And nobody wants to help you.
I'm from a different age. I'm not young. I'm 65 so I lived with anxiety as a child
Wondering if you were gonna get into trouble all the cane or punished by your teachers or slap by your parents. What I'm talking about? It's something I don't think any of you. Are going through right now? If I could make you feel the way I feel you would say. Please take it back. I don't want this. I don't want it. I'd rather collapse on the floor and die on the spot. Then, continue living my life. That's anxiety.
On level eleven

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

With the thought of going out, I didn’t realize it at the time, but when I would prepare to go out, getting dressed, etc. my body would overheat, I would sweat profusely, I mean head of hair was drenched, like I stepped out of the shower. Constantly tissuing my face. My nose would start to run. I could feel it running. I would grab a new tissue, shocked because sometimes it was blood. I would cancel my plans and lay down. I canceled so many appointments. I’m still struggling. Yes I’ve been under medical treatment. For a bit I felt better, not normal, like in my past life. But now I feel like I’m going backwards.

Anxiety is a common part of human life

Meanwhile the psychopaths leaders and politicians go to bed without a worry in the world after unaliving children and innocent people all day

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.. if it's anxiety or fear of losing something before trying..
Just before doing something infront of people like solving a simple question.. I just feel like my whole body is dizzy.. heartbeat fast , mind blank and again I messed up. I don't want to share this to chat gpt or Gemini because I wanted someone who has experience it to reply me. Can't even share with my family and friends.. so I'm writing it here..

I help myself to be more Comfortable and calm, I do my best

Please Read This if you're suffering from anxiety and dont understand the solution 👇👇

Honestly I dealt with major anxiety 2 months ago, it lasted with heavy heartedness for 1 month, i couldnt enjoy time with my friends, felt as if happiness just disappeared. i tried every solution on YOUTUBE, none worked. It always felt good the day i saw the solution but exactly the next day i was back to 0. Until the time i read the book "Dont Believe Everything You Think - Joseph Nguyen", Trust me just by reading initial 50-60 pages you will understand a lot about yourself. i still havent completely gotten over it but now if any anxiety wave kicks in, i know how to deal with it and the intensity of these waves have become way less, and hopefully they may disappear in the future. As of now i think i have regained that happiness, and i have started spending way better time with friends and fam.

i hope you get out of this! ❤❤

13:40 I cant hear, beacause of long years of shouting, its like bleeding without knowing pain, thats what im now.....
Emotionally numb while in constant anxiety whenever in contact with the world with external factor perfectionism is my way of living.

This is the best ted talk I've watched

Thank you 💕

This was an AMAZING video. It perfectly explained anxiety, and also opened my eyes as to how to view it. Thank you to the speaker ❤️

Title wise, but I guess for me is to finally let go of a toxic, comedy, situational past but I what I fear is will the next workplace of environment happen again and not only that but toxics hatching out more toxics while entering school again and then ruining a workpkace again within the faults of parents, presidents, education system, and so much more again since the beginning of time within the invention of politics being integrated. Lastly, but a basic relationship is not easy depending on the workplace situationally

I was always the panicking type until I tried psilocybin mushroom.
Helped me always stay calm and focus, y’all should gibe it a try. It works.

I feel anxious about my health even though full blood count tests results are normal, I still have episodes when I feel like there's something wrong with me and I'm about to pass out. I used to be very very healthy I hardly been to doctors and I went gym on and off for the past 10 years and I had very good stamina too. But recently doctor tested my BP and it was slightly higher and heart rate and slightly higher too. I really want to get rid of this health anxiety.
