How To Know The Difference Between Anxiety and Stress




Hey Its�Ben, How are you doing? Hope you're
having an awesome day. Today is super important
because�I�want to show you the difference
for talk specifically, both the difference
between anxiety and stress , and where they
sit and what people relationship to that is.
So, one of the most important things to know
in regards to this is that most people look
and they want to so move�and off course
there is definitely difference between anxiety
and stress but the truth is there is not a
massive difference between the two , and�I�really
get in that the other thing is really important
to know there is that virtually everybody
in this world either experiences anxiety.
Not regularly but they experience anxiety
or they have experience anxiety one time and
other important to know you have serious challenges
with anxiety don't worry about it is very
very common.�In fact,�with that said , virtually
everybody in world experienced anxiety, at
one time another, the best way to understand
peoples relationship to stress to anxiety
is with this chart here.
So over here on this side have no stress to
other no experience of stress at all then
we have little bit stress here we have some
high stress up here and what happen as stress
becomes a chronic thing something that happening
all of the time. It starts to move people
into the experience of anxiety from anxiety
of course. Anxiety on high would be a panic
attack .So; someone is experiencing a panic
attack it is the farthest end of this scale
you can possibly imagine regards to anxiety.
It is the highest level of anxiety you could
possible experience. �As opposed to most
of the time, maybe you've never experienced
panic attack before you certainly do experience
high anxiety you were just feeling�huhhh,��you're
just feeling like your body is just�completely�vibrating,�
you're just not sure what to do with yourself
you're just�huhhh�feeling that feeling
that is totally different from panic attack.
A panic attack is right that place where you,
�your heart is beating almost steady in
your chest you feeling your both�exploded�or
die at any particular moment and you just�concerns�what
happening inside your body that act is a panic
attack. of course,�we bring it down a couple
of auction stress is that thing we feels when
there is a too much going on a little bit
of over worm a little bit too much going on
our life we feels like we can�necessarily�handle
everything that is happening for us�off
course�we go back from their there really
isn't stress so, we all experience time of
life , when there is no stress at all may
be its bring where you are on vacations may
be is just in your�childhood,�may be when
you're reading a book or relaxing or first
thing in morning late at night whenever it
is for you we all experience time fights�her�no
stress whatever.
There is no pull on us or, just challenge
or nothing to over warm us there is nothing
to feel us to not enough to handle, whats
going on, and off course we all experienced
the feeling stress. Stress is something that
things get little bit warming or too much
going on we feels we can handle it but may
be not and then off course stress become up
more chronic experience it goes over to anxiety
so what happen is that not so much stress
is not just happens you know all the time
, all the time , all the time constantly and
then turn into anxiety and every body is experience
of this flowchart that say is completely different
. Now according to [inaudible], I�am�not
saying, just you experienced anxiety you going
to experienced panic attack that is not a
case at all you may ever experience anxiety
or high stress but important to know is the
fact that this is sensationally the way we
have good understanding about what anxiety
or stress are is that stress on high is anxiety
, anxiety on high is panic attack so, as we
start to move specific stress from our lives
we tend to pick some less anxiety, so it means
you go and remove all the stresses from your
lives no , not necessary but what I�m saying
is this is that is something in your life
is likely stressing your little bit your other
things are so may it�s a good idea step
back take a break from those things or least
to able to have specific coping techniques
to allow you to feel more powerful and be
able to handle those things in your lives
that stress you out. Things that make you
little bit kind of borderline anxious. The
other thing is important to know here is that
anxiety and stress are feelings that we feel.
Is that internal experience not an external
experience so of course,�raises the questions:
What is the big difference between anxiety
and stress? The biggest difference is our
own experience of the stress , of the anxiety
meaning this if you are some that has ability
to handle the great deal of stress is not
seriously problem for you , you feel the stress
just like�huhh,�okay, I�can handle this�I�can
get these thing done, it's over warming but
i am able to cope up, �I am able to make
it happen, �I am able to get through little
chunk of stress here, Anxiety on the other
hand something that is more chronic is something
that is higher is a little bit stronger and
it creates specific thought pattern in our
mind and have tendency to loop in circles
where is with stress that doesn't necessarily
happen. In the anxiety, we have the tendency
to loop around inside our own mind and in
regards of their thoughts that make us feel
stuck or trapped or really feel for or really
challenge over warmed or totally be well done
or we feel of great deal of guilt or resent
or shame so, always, sudden from experiencing
stress or anxiety , anxiety is little bit
more intense , and from the intensity of anxiety
moving along it brings you to panic attacks
, panic attacks on the other hand are something
that we all feel that we simply cannot cope
with.
Years and years and years ago when�I�first
moved from�Calgary,�I had a roommate,�Ahhh�I�have
never seen anybody deal with stress the way
this guy did. He was the manager of really
big hotel downtown and it was quite impressive,
he was coming home in his suit and tie, strip
down his clothes. Not that I watched, we won�t
talk about that, but he strips down from his
suit and tie, he put on his running shoes,
pair of shorts, and everyday he would go for
a run. When he got back, you know we make
dinner and�chat�about the day. What was
interesting there�was,�I have never seen
anyone deal with stress the way this guy did
for him, it never turned into anxiety, it
never turned it into anything that was too
much he never turned anything that was just
a chronic difficult thing, because he did
that things here in regards to stress that
kept it within the realm of stress.
As suppose something that is turned into anxiety
so if�you're�someone struggling with anxiety
one of the thing that can�I�tell you,�I�certainly
found that it was�really�helpful�for
me is exercise. Now�I am�sure you heard
from many different people but exercise is
a massive shifter, a massive changer in regards
to anxiety and the reason why is because it
just as whole lot of things to your body.
First thing is it oxygenates�the body, secondly,
it�detoxifies�the body and helps to move�a
lot�of stuff that we not�necessarily�need.
The third thing that it does it helps the�reorganize
your�electrolyte�system in body, meaning
that if you�drink a lot of�water and you�have
a lot of�salt sometimes, you get all kind
of blooty not feeling very good when you exercise.
It has the�tendency�to get rid of the
salt you don't need and get rid of the�toxins�again
that you don't need and help to re organize
your fluids in places we need them too. As
opposed to having them sit in places�subcutaneously�just
underneath the skin or within the fat we want
to store within our muscles and all the places
that suppose to be.
The other way�it's really�helpful, it�is
from the�energetic�stand point, so it
just not give you more energy,�which in
a lot�of cases those people who experiencing
anxiety and saying look,��I�don't want
more energy�I�want to be able to calm
down�, well, exercise help you calm down
as well. The reason why is because it opens
up all the energy channel in your body. Now
if may be the word energy, channel is little
bit�fru�fru�and little bit out there
for just think and terms of ancient Chinese
medicine where they speak in�terms of the�acupuncture�meridian�system
that runs to your body, maybe that is little
bit too out there, but�that's�ok. The
important thing�is�that when you are exercise
it changes the energy flow of your body to
make you feel�dramatically�better.
So,�I�hope today is�helpful�let me
know if�I�help out in any way please do
share with this your friends help people who
are struggling with the anxiety share this
video with them�I�really appreciated�i
am�sure they would too. hope you have an�awesome�day�I�will
talk to you soon See�yaa!.

Managing stress and anxiety to live well





Before I even got out of the
Air Force, I had started
really struggling with
anxiety attacks and
sleeplessness and fears.
Getting out of the military was
interesting and exciting.
That maybe presented some of the
most anxiety I ever felt.
It's scary, you know, because
you have this whole life that
you learned.
For me, it was six
years active duty
in an infantry unit.
Now I have to all of a sudden
go be a civilian.
I didn't really notice the
anxiety until actually I got
back from the Academy.
Probably just a natural
reaction, but it seemed
overblown to me that getting
stuck in traffic, I was just
getting so angry.
Well, a lot of my issues were
generalized anxiety.
So I have a lot of issues with
perfectionism and just putting
too much pressure on
myself, which is
definitely from the military.
I think part of it was
self-induced stress.
And I knew I was
transitioning.
I knew I was getting out.
What do I want to
do with my life?
And oh my gosh, what's that
going to be like?
The big unknown.
I got really nervous going
to new places and
places I hadn't been.
I would kind of say,
I don't know.
I don't know why.
But I had a friend that would
say, hey, you want to go to
dinner tonight?
I said, no, I don't want to.
I'd make up an excuse like,
oh, no, I've got homework.
But really I was kind of like,
oh, I'm afraid if I go I'm
going to have an
anxiety attack.
With the anxiety, your
heart races.
I mean, it goes just
insanely fast.
You sweat.
You get paranoid.
You keep looking over
your shoulder.
Insomnia.
You don't sleep.
Your body's so tired, especially
after these anxiety
and panic attacks.
It really feels like ran a
marathon, but you didn't.
I ultimately felt that my
anxiety was kind of
overwhelming.
And it was less that I needed
to manage it, because it was
taking all of my energy
to manage it.
It was taking up my whole day.
I had a panic attack, a
full-on panic attack.
And I still don't know what
I was doing at that time.
I called one of my friends.
I said, you have to drive me,
because I can't even drive.
And that was my first time
going to the VA.
They diagnosed it as
a panic attack.
And my treatment started
from that point.
I missed two weeks at school.
I missed finals, which
the school let me
make up later on.
But after that I said,
you know what?
I really need to get
help for this.
So I went to the VA.
I got referred to see a couple
mental health professionals.
And we talked.
And three months after getting
out, I felt more like myself
than I had in years before.
It started out biweekly meeting
with a counselor.
I mean, it almost felt like
we just had a casual
conversation.
I felt really comfortable
speaking to the counselor that
I was with.
And it really helped
out a lot.
One of the things that was
really crucial to me was
remembering that I did have a
support system, knowing that I
had the capacity to reach
out and ask for help.
I talked to my family who I'm
really close with about it.
And I did have I guess my own
little support channel outside
of the military.
And I wanted to do better
for myself.
My wife pushes me.
Having that person in my
relationship that pushes me,
along with the therapy,
that's helped me out.
And that's I think what's been
helping me out the most,
having that drive
to get better.
I've definitely noticed an
improvement and a difference.
I would say that, especially now
after seeking treatment,
I've been doing much better at
trying to manage my symptoms
and cope with them as they
happen, or even prevent them.
