Stop The Panic...

I want her to have 1 million subscribers ❤️

Is anyone else having trouble focusing while working from home and days just feel like they're blending together?

This literally came at the perfect time, I haven’t slept in days because I can’t breathe when I turn off my light and I think it’s because I’m panicking and these sound like that would really help, thank you 😊

Whenever anxiety starts to creep up, it's preferable to shut down all screen time and just focus on breathing, Bringing yourself to the present moment.

I would love a video on how to cope as someone who can’t stay home due to type of work they are in? I work in a shop that was deemed essential and I find it super triggering being there, what with feeling the energy of anxiety and fear of customers whole day at work and having customers ignore the social distancing requests and coming too close. Also stocking items that could have virus on them all they long because multiple people touched it. I come home exhausted every day and sleep very poorly.

Hey Kati! I feel like it could be the perfect moment to make a video about hypochondria in the current climate. I've been struggling with it forever but right now it's more overwhelming than ever and I'm sure there are lots of people in the same situation. Thanks a lot for everything!

I've never clicked so fast to a video, this is literally what I needed. Thank so much❤️

Thank you for this video. I remember when I found out school was canceled for the foreseeable future. I found out in the middle of my spanish class, I don’t know how I didn’t actually cry. I couldn’t breathe though. I have underlying health conditions and being truly breathless without something physical causing it was terrifying

I was already grieving the death of my husband. So, for months I have learned so many coping skills to try. I found "Snapping" helps me greatly when I flashback or my mind goes where I don't want. It's helpful now with the anxiety from this threat. Look it up & try it. My brain actually snaps back to a healthier state. Take care & breathe... Just not on me. lol ❤️🙏🇺🇸👍

I love Yoga With Adriene, too!!! Actually just got done doing a sequence with her! 💛 Thanks SO much for this video!!!

The same as all of the other commenters already, I clicked this video as fast as I could when the notification popped up. Battling a severe sinus infection and not being able to function led to a week long (so far) cervicogenic headache that I made worse by going into full on panic mode. My body was fighting this intense panic attack because I was in so much pain but it forced its way out. I've struggled with my mental health since I was a kid and I haven't had an episode like this in years because I normally manage well. But WOW. I just laid there shaking and crying uncontrollably and finally realized that I am absolutely terrified of everything going on around me right now. And not being able to help my husband or take care of our kids left me fearing the worst and obsessing over what would happen if I didn't get well again or if I was just gone. I NEEDED this video. Thanks Kati!

Your an Amazing person. Just what we needed. Great Tips. Stay Safe and Healthy.

thank you . <3 i needed this so much. i haven’t been sleeping and my body hurt so much from stress. i really appreciate this.

Thank so so much for this, Katie. I work at a homeless shelter and lately, between wearing a face mask that makes it difficult to breathe and the nearly unbearable level of anxiety surrounding me, both among staff and guests, I have been so overwhelmed that it feels like a constant, relentless anxiety attack. I even think I may be experiencing a heart attack sometimes. I constantly remind myself to try to breathe normally, move my body in ways that helps me relax (neck stretches, shoulder and back stretches, etc). The "shake it off" from Levine's research is such a profoundly helpful reminder-why we have come so far removed from our natural tendencies for self regulation is unfortunate to say the least. Also checking in with my feelings, allowing myself to grieve (I feel that I'm almost constantly grieving the experience of shelter guests, and I realize that this borders on vicarious trauma), and distracting myself (when possible) helps. I find my mind naturally doing this with an "ear worm" of Alicia Keys songs (her latest album is amazing). I am trying my best to keep working and to serve my community in this time of crisis. It seems so unfair that so many people of privilege seem so oblivious to the suffering of others at this time, and it makes makes me so goddamn angry. I think anger is the main emotion that keeps me going lately. Fight and freeze are the habitual go-to's for my body and mind, but I think I need to focus on the anger that seems to be motivating my fight response lately. I want to use it productively but not allow it to come out in a destructive or harmful way. My fear is that it will manifest as anger directed at shelter guests, and I even snapped at the security guy yesterday for sitting in a chair looking at his phone all the time when he should be doing is goddamn job to keep us all safe. Jesus blood Christ on a stick, this is such a stressful time. Thanks so much for the reminders to shake it off, check in, feel the feelings and distract.

Thanks for the great video! Something I need to journal about.

Thank you Kati!! I haven’t seen my therapist in a couple weeks and this really helped in place of her until my next appointment!

Thank you very much. My daughter and my friend are having a lot of anxiety over social distancing and not being able to get things done. I really appreciate your taking the time to help people who are in distress.😊😊

We love you Kati. You the real MVP. Always helping to keep us safe and sane. 💗

Kati, can you please do a video on how to cope for nurses. We are dying out here, literally and physically. I'm working 88hours a week. I'm working outside of my skill set as a nurse because its all hands on deck. Work is crazy, you've no idea,I can't even convey what's happening as it will terrify everyone. We are exposed. We get about 10-15 emails a day and nothing else is covered on the news than Covid 19. I was in therapy for PTSD doing EMDR, it has now been cancelled due to covid and I'm so busy anyway I wouldn't be able to go. Now I struggle to manage my panic attacks and nightmares are getting worse, feeling more anxious and tired (shift work is ridiculous). We just need help.

Katie your content is always amazing! I have Battled Depression and Anxiety my entire life. You have helped me to step out of my comfort zone and start my own Channel on Depression and Anxiety that I deal with. Thank you soooo much!!!
