daman big small trick - #14325

Riya

I am feeling really confused and honestly a lil bit stressed about what I've been experiencing lately. A few weeks ago, I started using this Daman big small trick for my anxiety, hoping it would help me cope better, since my therapist had mentioned it in passing. At first, it seemed like it was working, but I started noticing some weird stuff happen. Like, my heart would race outta nowhere, and I'd have these bouts of sweating, which made me think maybe the Daman big small trick wasn’t suited for me after all. I tried to follow the instructions perfectly, but maybe I got something wrong? I mean, it’s just a simple trick, right? But does that mean everyone reacts the same way? I read somewhere about how this technique can either help or really mess you up, but I thought I was doing it right. Am I supposed to feel more calm with the Daman big small trick, or is some level of anxiety normal? How do you know if you’re just not getting it or if the trick really doesn’t work for you? I'm kinda worried I’m not the only one who feels this way. Would love to hear what other people think or if anyone else had a similar experience!

Doctors' responses

When it comes to coping techniques for anxiety like the “Daman big small trick,” it’s important to understand that people can have varied reactions. These differences are due to how individuals perceive stress, their overall mental health state, and other personal factors. The technique you’re describing might involve some form of structured breathing or mindfulness, aimed at reducing stress levels, but it’s not uncommon for such practices to initially cause discomfort or anxiety spikes—especially if there’s any hyper-focus on breathing or bodily sensations that could be triggering to some people. The symptoms you’ve described, like a racing heart and sweating, are typical indicators of heightened anxiety, which can be paradoxically heightened when we try new techniques for stress relief. One possibility to consider is whether you’re engaging with the practice in a way that feels too forced or concentrated, potentially adding to your stress rather than alleviating it. You might notice an improvement if you approach the technique more gently, allowing your body and mind to adapt over time without pressuring yourself to feel immediate calm. Additionally, it may be valuable to reassess the context in which you’re using the technique—are you already feeling stressed, or are you using it preventively? Timing can make a difference. If these symptoms persist or start to interfere more substantially with your daily activities, it would be wise to bring them up with your therapist, who can offer tailored advice or adjustments to the practice or might suggest alternative techniques better suited to your needs. Remember that therapeutic techniques are not uniform in their effectiveness for everyone, and sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find what truly works for you. If severe symptoms occur, prioritize contacting a healthcare provider for direct evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions for these physical symptoms. Always prioritize open communication about your health concerns with a professional to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
