I'm surprised, everything he's telling happens to me exactly, the same behaviors and patterns even not feeling love, it's surprising how anxiety works, now I'm starting my recovery process, let the symptoms be there.

Anxiety is a losing battle, it takes two to fight, leave it alone let it be and it will go away.

Our stories are almost identical! My attack was just a week before yours and I had the same thoughts and feelings. Although I hate anyone experiences anxiety on this level, it’s comforting knowing you’re not the only one. What a year!

It reminds me of so much of myself when he talked about jealousy. I get jealous when I see other people recover not in a negative but more so that I wanna be in there position so badly

He basically told my anxiety story wow everything I’m going through is everything he’s saying. Seeing this video gives me hope thank you

So glad to hear Maruf mention the "dark night of the soul." I was very reluctant to mention that term to the various psychiatrists that I met in the hospital where I landed because of crazy anxiety. But, that's still how I think of this. The dark night of the soul, however hellish, is all about positive transformation. The things in my life that have been most helpful in making me a better person, have been the most painful experiences. I don't think there's any other way. So, I'm trying my best to embrace this anxiety, and I fully intend to make the most of this challenging experience. - Yeah, Maruf, I don't want to go back to who I was before; why not shoot for a better version of myself? Someone more courageous, more compassionate, humbler, more kind-hearted. Thanks Maruf and Shaan.

I’m going to say it again, thanks for these videos mate! This is pure gold, it always helps emphasising on how they’ve applied the AWARE method

One of the best interviews on this channel! 💯

My brother! Awesome Maruf! You can influence many people in the future

I LOVED this, thank you Maruf and Shaan.. So enlightening!

This story gives me so much hope that I really needed. I relate to Maruf's story so much when it came down to his thought process with anxiety. Definitely needed to hear this!

Oh my God! Maruf’s story is very much like mine! I am going through a very bad setback right now and I can really relate to his story. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday too, I spend a week cleaning my whole kitchen and decorating and order my organic turkey and just enjoy the beginning of the fall and holidays season.

Maruf’s symptoms are exactly like mine. There is so much emphasis on the physical symptoms of anxiety that I kept thinking there was no way these mental symptoms could be just plain ol’ anxiety. It had to be more. Hearing his story has really made me see that yes, this is just anxiety and I can overcome and thrive again. Thank you for sharing your story!!

Maruf you are a inspiration. I am going threw anxiety with physical symptoms and it is very difficult but listening to you gives me hope, thanks for sharing your story.

I can relate to everything he is saying. Especially about thanksgiving. That being my favorite holiday and I missed the Thanksgiving in 2023 and I feel so sad and scared that I am going to miss the 2024 thanksgiving also.

Yea, this is definitely relatable to my, and many other peoples, struggles with Anxiety disorder. I will definitely refer back to this video if I ever need to revisit some good points. Overall, was a great discussion, Maruf and Shawn are definitely two very brave individuals, props to you guys man. I hope to join you 2 at the summit of recovery!
