find a safe and comfortable spot, close your eyes (put some music on if you want) breathe through your nose exhale out of your mouth. Empty your mind you know that you're having an anxiety don't get distracted. This might take 5 mins or more but keep going till you feel relax trust me this works for me :)
Generalized is worse it's all the time abput everything you don't even need to be around anyone it incorporates social anxiety. It's like being heckled by the social anxiety crew on comments for gad. Why would you be looking at gad if your a diagnosed social. Seem like you want why we have got, trust me you definitely don't. Now jog on and find your own youtube clip for social anxiety lol (im joking) it's all life debilitating depending how bad it is. Mine took 30 years to progress and diagnose. Basically I was left to lose my mind before the doctors took me seriously and now I can't even get to work.
I was diagnosed with GAD last year and it's a horrible condition. I find it annoying when people think they know how I feel because they get anxious. GAD is worse then just feeling anxious it's extremely debilitating.
I believe my coworker had this I never knew of this I’m looking it up now because he killed his self after leaving working. You just never know what someone is going through. I truly wish I could have helped him
AS true*_* plus it’s irritating but I’m kinda fucked cuzzz my anxiety and depression especially is my drug:/ sad but true I love my depression I know it’s strange but it’s true:/ Idk it’s like a giving cocaine to a cocaine addict, they always and only abuse it more:/
If anyone is interested in dealing with social anxiety at home the best success that ive ever had was with Kevs Control Plan (i found it on google) - definately themost helpful method that I've followed.
Yes! I also start crying for no reason, even at the most exciting events. I worry about things that don't matter, and have trouble breathing when I go to do things like check my grades. If you need a friend, im here :)
Yesss definatly, I get that all the time during the night and it keeps me up so late. I normally feel like I can't breathe or my head will start to feel heavy ALL THE TIME, trust me your not alone :)
I'm actually too scared to ask my parents to take me for a test for this, I'm more scared of my parents rolling their eyes and telling me to stop it than I am actually being diagnosed with it
Don’t worry I told my parents and luckily for me they took me and honostly going to the ER wasn’t worth it they diagnosed me and everything but they gave me a stress pill and said I have anxiety and depression which made me feel better but I learned ways to not get anxiety like closeting my eyes and breathing in and out counting to 10 it helps a bit
Yeah same here.. Even if it's a small problem I overthink it and make it a big issue. But it also did some good like in academics. So whenever I think I should change I get anxious that I will become worse.
I keep thinking about how I'm getting really old so fast, I'm turning 20 in December this year. I keep thinking about aging, like I would be 30 and then 40 and 60 etc. What would I do when I don't have my parents around and stuff, it's so crazy.
All the time. I always thought of things in the past I should've handled better, or thinking about the future too much that I couldn't take the next step - this is happening in a lot of things in my life. It has screwed up a relationship because my mind is always on overdrive that I may sometimes be thinking too much about it and was always afraid that I'm gonna screw things up, and it eventually did. It prevented me from going out of the comfort zone in a lot of different things, like looking for a better job. I always thought that everyone thinks of me negatively - I always say that I don't care what everyone says about me but in the back of my mind, I do, perhaps a little too much than how I should. I have trouble sleeping through the day (I work graveyard shifts) as my mind is always on overdrive. I believe I've steered into depression multiple times but I couldn't really confirm it as I haven't been clinically diagnosed of anything; I've never tried to see a therapist about this before because of the pandemic, plus my job cannot support the costs of therapy.
I have many irrational fears that trigger attacks n it’s really scary I can’t control it like something bad might happen to me or my family. Or it will get me worked up so when there’s even more triggers around me I easily shut down out of fear.
I can't remember the last time I wasn't worried or anxious about something. Every single day I am stressed out. I can never catch a break from this. My muscles have became so tense that I tense up my body without noticing. I am never relaxed. And _always_ exhausted even though I am doing nothing 😂
For me realising it helps. Or it did. When my mind would start to race id tell myself "its anxiety, its not your fault, you didnt do anything to cause this." Ive said that to myself so many times though that its starting to lose that calming effect lol
@@mhm77887 exactly.Before confessing to myself and finally accept that I’m an very anxious person , everytime I got anxious I was kinda like denying it like « nah those thoughts are too much hurtfull it can’t just be stress it’s gotta be that I have skyzophrenia or some mental illness that’s incurable » and then the circle of the anxiety begin : I got anxious because I didn’t know how to cope with anxiety , and then more and more …You just have to accept that being anxious is gonna happen all your life , you just have to not put ur mind into a vicious circle that will put you in anxiety mode all the time…Seems simple like that but you just have to control you’re breathing , put your mind into rational thoughts that will decrease you’re anxiety, and not worry , cause paradoxically when you worry about anxiety you get stuck in it…Hope I helped some people , I never got diagnosed cause I was even anxious to talk to any doctors , and never any medication (just weed) and my anxious sad life when I was even afraid of thinking is over !!!
I had every single one of the symptoms for the last seven months. Things that have helped my anxiety recently : 1) at least 15min of walking in the sunlight per day 2) exercise twice a day 3) conscious choosing to not chase a thought or dwell in it 4) easy hack to snap out of thinking:listing our colours that I see around me like when I'm brushing My teeth I do this 5)paying attention my senses
im doin some of this, my therapist also said that i have to focus on my senses, so continue what hr doin bro, we overthinkers or future thinker should practice mindfulness or to get back to reality.
@@Nate-qq3bm I agree bro. I just saw your comment now and realised I had written mine a year back. What does help is working out (or at least stretching) , being in the sun, being busy at work, doing make up and baking as a hobby.
@@SomeoneVEVO ur welcome! Right now I see light blue, dark blue and black-The colour of my jeans 😋 btw your notification made me realise I commented this a year ago,and how much has changed since then. That comment was during my break up. I'm so much better now. I'm not as anxious and depressed anymore. Sending everyone here lots of love. Hang in there, things do get better 😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I was diagnosed with anxiety last week... worst feeling ever. I can't control anything i feel. I cant sleep. When i eat my stomach goes crazy. And like you i feel like im gonna stop breathing😔. You can try massaging your neck muscles and try to stretch a lot. I found that i helps with breathing and overall tension. MOST IMPORTANT naps. I cant sleep at night. But found thatbi can take naps. Please do that. Even for 20 mins. It truly helps in the long run.
Hey, I'm copy-pasting this everywhere, I found a cure: Hello guys! I tried this type of meditation and got amazing results with it, I have much less anxiety now, it feels like it reduces my anxiety every time, I'm only 3 days in. It's called "Transcendental Meditation" Today I talked to a girl with no stuttering, which stuttering is a symptom of GAD/SA. I don't know what this meditation does but it's amazing! Here's how to do it: First of all do not eat for at least 2 hours before meditating, it can intefere. Meditate at least 2 hours before going to sleep, anything under that can make it hard to sleep as this meditation increases your alertness, it wears off after 2 hours. Sit in a chair where you can move your head freely with no obstruction, for your first time do this in a quiet room. Repeat a syllable or any short word that has no meaning in your head, silently without your voice. So repeat a mantra in your head, it can be anything but since all of you are new to this try "Lam" or "Ram." Start by letting your mind calm down for 30 seconds, then start repeating the syllable, repeat it SILENTLY in your mind, without using your voice. Repeat it 10 - 20 times then stop and it will automatically start repeating on its own. After you repeat it that many times, do absolutely nothing. Do not concentrate on it, just do nothing, let your mind do the rest, you need to do *absolutely nothing*. You will notice if you do absolutely nothing that your mind will remind you of the syllable without you having to do any effort, and this is fine, this is exactly how the meditation works. Do this for exactly 15 minutes, DO NOT go above 15 minutes, this could increase your anxiety levels temporarily and cause too much stress to release. Once the 15 minutes is over, slowly open your eyes to not shock your nervous system and STOP thinking the syllable. Now that you have stopped thinking the syllable, just rest with your eyes closed for at least 4 minutes, preferably 5, and keep sitting down. Now if you did everything right (Did not concentrate, rested for 5 minutes after meditating) you should notice less anxiety immediately after the session, especially if you suffer from severe anxiety like 90% of us do. If you haven't tried this meditation yet, then please try it right now if you have time, you will be happy you did. This is obviously not a scam, I'm giving you a meditation course that usually costs $1000+ for FREE. :) Good luck curing your anxiety Frankie.
@Frankie Duharte, Yes we all have and get anxiety and depression and there is nothing bad about that problem is when you are anxious and depressed most of the time and for no particular reason, then thats an illness and people do need to worry.
But do you have a diagnosed disorder it is two very different things. Everyone has anxiety at some point and anxiety that is not a disorder is no big deal at all. If you wake up everyday suicidal and feel like someone has put your brain in upsidedown then its a different struggle.
I can't eat, I start gagging whenever I'm stressed, can't sleep, I get nightmares, I get easily emotional, I'm irritable, and just the excessive worrying about almost everything. I cant get a bad experience out of my mind even if it happened days ago, it bothers me that I think my work mates are always talking behind my back, I just feel tired of having to worry about everything.
It’s so rare to see someone else mention gagging when stressed. I’ve been struggling with this symptom for around 4 years now and it’s such a frustrating and embarrassing experience. Still, knowing there are others out there with the same problem makes me feel a little bit better. Hope you’re doing well
Can’t believe I found someone else who gets this, have been dealing with this since 11 (20 now) had it under control for a few months but now its worse than it ever has been.
Reading all these comments makes me feel a little bit better, I know that I’m not alone and I’m not the only one feeling this way. I wish that everyone who suffers from anxiety doesn’t give up. It’s really really hard, but I believe that someday it will get better. Stay strong❤️
Well.. I just have this problem where I worry about the possibilities that something bad can happen any day at any minute, and it makes my life uncomfortable sometimes.. That along with all of my burdens, and the fact that you are constantly pressured into trying to survive day by day, dealing with stress at your job, trying to keep the bills paid, and food on the table... Life is a really tough ride, and it can be scary sometimes, and you just feel so alone through it all, and there really isn't many people that can help you or comfort you because they themselves are dealing with their own problems.
I know exactly what you mean it's so terrifying it has been happening to me since I smoked too much weed 5 months ago do you have any idea what your cause might be

God this is relatable. I’m not diagnosed, but for what seems like years, I’ve always felt this way. Does anyone else get the hiccups really easily and it just comes at really random times?
I have had anxiety since 2016 (8th grade) , initially the symptoms were mild but now it is persistent and excessive. I got help in the beginning of this year because I knew it was messing me up. Chest pains, muscle tension, trouble sleeping (or not sleeping at all), digestion problem, loss of appetite, hard time focussing. I am 17 now ( 18 in the end of October) and I am in the lowest point in my life. I have lost hope but I'm constantly trying to tell myself that it will be alright. I feel like I've failed myself and everyone around me, my mum, dad and sister. I have always had the image of a strong daughter infront of my dad, he calls me a ''fighter". I am afraid to tell him about how I feel because my sister is already suffering from bipolar disorder (since 2016) and telling him about my problem will make him feel terrible and I don't wanna do that. I can't sleep and I haven't sleep well in years. I wanna feel at ease but I can't. Please, pray for me.
There is only one way out of something . To just get into it … you love your family and they love you … your Dad will be there for you … it’s all about the love ❤️ … keep the faith 🙏
I hate when people tell me “there’s nothing to worry about, don’t think about it” because it’s not like I can control it, i just have it an it’s horrible, but I’m too scared too ask my mom to go see a therapist because I’m only 14 and I don’t want people to think that I just want to be “edgy”. Excuse my English, it is not my first language :)
Yes that doesn't help. I had it growing up quite bad and over the years for me I found that accepting yeah I have this anxious feeling bad today, but it will be better tomorrow. So not to stress about it when you get it and accept yes I have this feeling now, but it will pass.
I must say for English being your second language you wrote that out great, English isn’t my strong suite but you’re better than me and I’ve known english my whole life.

For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax Mind[brain] are reprogrammed. During your daily activity at home or office keep observing your breath with eyes open or closed. Best part is mood swings also reduce after daily meditation.

I can't focus on anything and I am scared of nearly everything and feel like my brain and my tear ducts are going to explode, I feel like there is a huge lump in between my throat and chest, it feels so annoying
Panic! At the disco with twenty one crybabies I am so sorry I know how you feel I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis for no apparent reason It has taken over my life I had to stop working because I felt so weak to do anything, but I find peace when I pray to Jesus, I hope you get better.
Panic! At the disco with twenty one crybabies same ..I get this feeling of a lump between my throat and....actually it's nothing..it's just the anxiety and panic which causes it..just try to calm down if you get this ever again..
To whoever dealing with this. IT WILL GET BETTER. I promise you that. You are not going crazy. U will not die because of it. U will be better. Focus on not being scared of the symptoms rather than focusing on getting rid of it. Change whatever can be changed. What can’t just say screw it and move on. It takes a little bit of time but ur effort will show later not right away. Be patient and strong. When u overcome this, u will be wayyyyy stronger than before. Much love and I wish you to be happier than ever
I had a bad anxiety day today. My bad anxiety days are usefully voices in my head telling me things that would happen if I sent that text,ate,did school work, and normal things. It’s hard to get work done without crying and breaking down. Like today I was gonna send a text about asking for company because of it and a voice said I’m clingy,sharing too much, and being over the top. Just know, anyone who has GED your not alone and there are people who feel you. You got this and stay strong❤️
I got told by my doctor I have this today. it's like a relief because now I know what's wrong. I'm getting treatment now and trying to be positive no matter what.
Rose Leaden - If you don't mind me asking, are you seeking help yourself? I've been through the process of being diagnosed and treated for Generalised Anxiety Disorder. If you have any questions, I could probably give you some advice.
Christina Amelia good for u^^>!!:) I’m happy for you I hope it’s going well and I recently got diagnosed as well I always knew there was something weird or wrong though tbh subconconsciously;)
"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

Do this for exactly 15 minutes, DO NOT go above 15 minutes, it could increase your anxiety levels temporarily and cause too much stress to release at once. Do not set a timer for 15 minutes as it could shock your nervous system, set a timer in your mind, stop when you feel 15 minutes have gone by. You can set a real timer for 20 minutes if you want, I do recommend this. Once the 15 minutes is over, STOP thinking the syllable and slowly open your eyes to not shock your nervous system. Now that you have stopped thinking the syllable, just rest with your eyes closed for at least 4 minutes, preferably 5, and keep sitting down. Now if you did everything right (Did not concentrate, rested for 5 minutes after meditating) you should notice less anxiety immediately after the session, especially if you suffer from severe anxiety like 90% of us do.

@@loveisthemostpowerfulforce1397 Well, thanks for that. You know, our community is small and scattered and anything we can share to our group is just wonderful. I don't have anything particular like you but what's helped me is a combination of throwing myself into my work, the motorcycle and my canoe. The latter two items being very zen like and calming. Even when I'm (and I don't reccomend this) cheating death on the bike leaves my mind cleared like nothing else. Takes you to a new level. The canoe is pure beauty, nature and application of skill. So satisfying. Thank you again for sharing.
My 3% where you at? Oh god am I alone? I hope not. Are you guys there? Edit: lmao thanks for the support! I'm doing a lot better than three years ago! :) Edit 2: offically started therapy! (2020 if you're wondering)
This video basically sums up my GAD life. I'm 33 and still jobless. And was going to find a job but my fear and anxiety prevented me to do so. I have a thought of fear that boss would fired me with a very angry tone and others making fun of me for being weak if I don't do the job well. And yes, this fear also prevented me from going outside and become anti-social and stayed in my comfort zone for eternity. This GAD started during my childhood. My sister understand my symptoms and decided to call for Hypnotherapy to overcome my GAD. God, I pray that this hypnotherapy works because I really need to kill off my fear and anxiety. Wish me luck!
reddevils500 To hope one thing will fix you is a bad outlook. You need to join support groups and physically talk with people no matter how anxiety provoking it is. Get any job and you will feel better than you do now. We try and make excuses but you need to fight for yourself. You create your own heaven and hell. Don't die and live every last breath in your own hell. Simply helping someone else besides yourself will contribute to your mental healing. This will be a lifelong struggle but it is better than submitting to a life of self hate
it sucks even more when your main trigger of your anxiety is health related and something completely out of your reach , not being able to do anything to make the symptom go away and it always being there makes my anxiety worse :/
Yes I know how it is I have that problem 🥲I always think I’m having a heart attack or that my heart is beating funny. And I think I’m dying over anything such as a headache= brain tumour or my heart pounding after running is a heart attack. I got a blood test and nothing came back and I’m still worried.
That’s me! Last Sunday I was sitting in church and I thought everyone was staring at me and could here my thoughts so I had to leave the church and go outside and almost didn’t go back in🥲
Raafke yes I would say I socially isolated myself throughout school:/ but I mean to be fair, I also had an awful time making friends in the first place and got pretty much labeled as the frikin weird kid/girl evn my cousins I was isolated from:/ pretty much all of them except selectively one or 2 maybe most at 3 though:\
I just hate it when someone thinks they know how you feel even when they clearly don't. My best friend in school was walking home with me after I had a panic attack that day (palpitations, shortness of breath, fidgeting, fear, disorientation) saying "oh yeah, I had that in English today.". Maybe I'm being too sensitive about it, but the way she said it was like she dismissed what was going on with me and it made me feel uncomfortable and doubt myself.
I get super anxious when I drive. It feels like everything is closing in on me, every sound is intensified, voices are constantly running in my head, my breath becomes shorter. I can’t even sit still. i pray none of you have to feel what i feel daily. I don’t know if it’s an anxiety disorder but I finally built the courage to see a doctor. wish me luck!
Good luck! I had literally the same thing and taking driving lessons was kinda the worst time of my life and I still hate driving but it gets better. But is still can’t take the highway and sometimes when I drive I just freak out and can’t breath anymore (a lot of fun, super safe for the people around me or myself). But as I said good luck, and it keeps getting better I promise!
I am unable to sleep because of anxiety and my hands and legs shivered but I decided to fight and it relieves me. have faith on your self and get your self busy with your works
@@eleniss6669 yeah maybe some ppl self-diagnose themselves but it has its symptoms,and the people who came here has the same reasons (they have anxiety) they talk about their feelings here bcs they know they are not alone and is seeking advice,even i have anxiety but im afraid to go to the doctor
Reading the comments, I feel so sad. I don't have any mental illnesses, and I don't know how it's like, but I want you to know that there are people who are here for you. If you feel alone, you can always talk to an online therapist for free. We love and appreciate you, and hope that things get better! And to those who are faking anxiety, just stop, please. People won't treat you differently, you don't get special treatment, and it's just really unsympathetic to those who have mental disorders. Thank you, and have a nice day. ^^
Anxiety, panic attacks, depression and other mental illnesses are very hard to deal with. I suffer from Generalized anxiety and panic attacks and I feel like I’m going to die every single day. 😔. Thanks for your kind words. Not everybody empathizes with us. They think it’s something you can cure overnight and don’t understand the troubles we go through.
There is a lot of people who have anxiety and mental health issues, unfortunately a lot of people keep it quiet when it would help if people opened up about it

I fixed my anxiety, social akwardness and some fears i had when i did a 4 month part time job as a construction labourer. I had anxiety saying hi to one person. But this job made me say hi to 100 people every day and work and talk with them. After a month I got used to it and I realised all my fears and akwardness and shyness went away. I even started talking more and had 4 social sircles that I was switching to talk too in breaks. When I went back to my parents and stayed two weeks home my anxiety got back up and i realised the reason why I really had anxiety. It was because I was home all the time and alone mostly on my computer all the time. Which breaks you from social interaction. Not to mention sitting or not exercising all day your nourveousness builds up. Guys fight your fears by talking and socializing its scary but if you find a way to do it every day you can cure it
Omg this Is so true. I work in construction and it's usually just me and the walls I'm going to work. For weeks. I'm alone 90% of my time. But I went to a project far from home. We stayed a month in there. And then I was part of a crew. Everyone was so nicee. I felt part of something. I literally had 0 anxiety. For 2 weeks straight. When I left it came back...
Perhaps or perhaps you had anxiety and not a disorder. Physical work did work for me though but after a work injury it still came back with a vengeance. I think its all down to a individual and the severity. What works for one might not work for another. I find mine has progressed after 30 years of suffering from it. The brain is seriously complicated. Do you take antidepressants?
Oh my gosh I relate to this so much. Ever since quarantine, I have been having really bad anxiety and I realise it is because I dont speak much with others. I am an introvert and so I tend to prefer time alone but I realise when I socialise with others, I am not that scared anymore. Just thinking about everything is scary but once I start doing it, I don't feel so scared anymore. Even for introverts, communication is extremely important
I sometimes feels like anxiety stays with you forever but it definitely becomes managable over time, with the right help of course. 3 or 4 years ago when I still lived with my mother my anxiety was at it's absolute worst. I remember this one time when I was in a very early stage with therapy and medication and what not. One day I ran out of medication and I didn't sleep for like 2 days. Througout the day I had this feeling like I was gonna faint every 10 seconds, couldn't eat, felt exhausted, extremely on edge and just terrified for what was gonna happen to me. When I went outside to walk the dog it felt like everyone was watching me. Whenever someone looked at me I just wanted to punch them or scream at them to leave me alone. When I got out of the shower on the first day I looked at the mirror and I could see all of my muscles shaking and tensing up. And after I finished my dinner I finally fainted and woke up on my bedroom floor 2 hours later, dizzy and completely confused to what had happened. I thought I had fallen out of bed but the lights were on and I was still wearing my normal clothes. Shortly after that I threw up and went downstairs and saw my mom sitting on the couch watching tv. That's when I found out I had been laying on the floor knocked out for 2 hours. That must've been the lowest point in my life when it comes to anxiety. Now as I'm typing this I finally have a stable job and I'm about to move to a new apartment for the 2nd time. I'm way more relaxed and I barely even think about the things that used to terrify me like using public transport or just being away from home in general. I still have my moments but it keeps getting less severe and easier to control. I'm not sure why I wrote this whole paragraph but I guess I just wanted to share my story and hopefully help someone who is going through the whole process of recovering. It's not always easy but it will get better. It's all about setting these tiny goals and experiencing personal victories. If you do that enough times things will get better for you
Thankyou, very helpful. I thought I had good control on it but recently after covid and starting the job again with all new people have become a little more than weird. It gets really tough to communicate with people. I want to focus more on work but when will this go away!! 🤞
Thank you for writing all of this. It’s made me realise how bad it can get and makes me feel less guilty about experiencing symptoms that are debilitating.
Thank you for sharing this . When I read all these stories makes you realise you'd not on your own there's millions of people who go threw this and its ok. I've just been diagnosed with GAD and my life right now is a disaster I'm so broken inside because I can't seem to figure out all these physical emotions I'm feeling. I'm scared all the time and just want to feel ok again .. I have 2 beautiful girls and I just wanna be ok for them but it's so hard because I feel exhausted like I'm in a battle in my head with myself everyday I'm stuck there and I keep fighting and fighting but I'm so tired 😫 I hope I feel better soon too and glad you are too . Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Sometimes my anxiety gets so bad I have a mini panic attack (very short) update!!!! ok so basically- i was diagnosed with anxiety and my doctor told me to see a therapist- i didn’t tho but my anxiety got SO much better… i used to get an anxiety attack 3-7 times a week and they just kept getting worse with time but then idk- it started to fade, i still get anxiety but not as bad as i used to… i started collecting crystals again and that REALLY calmed me down
@@MintyMinho mine is a bit different my heart starts beating louder and faster and stronger when I give presentation or talk to the new ones and with my father
My anxiety has gotten so bad to the point where I can’t leave my home, don’t want to be seen by anyone, always nervous and just stressing over anything and everything. My heart is always racing and I can feel my brain become numb which creates brain fog from the stress of it all. It’s debilitating and I wish I could just turn it off so I can get my life together before I run out of time/ lose my mind
If it's stress over interactions it may help if you can just take a few steps out of your comfort zone to quiet area(or stay by your home & ask a stranger/neighbor for the time). Then, the next day repeat the process by speaking to 2 ppl & so on... To overcome your worries. --Also, writing therapy helps. Wether it's a dream, food journal, poetry, or anything to start putting pen to paper. Once you begin writing, after a few weeks it feels natural & having the pen to paper can reveal subconscious thoughts or things you can't recall(maybe issues you dont realize impacted you or bcuz your brain thinks it's protecting you by hiding some memories) that are causing the stress &/or depression.
i know! i have been dealing with social anxiety and generalized anxiety ever since i was very little. i don't even know what it's like to not have anxiety. i also developed ocd later on, which caused me to be hospitalized for 3 weeks because of how severe it was!
I have anxiety, when im attacking anxiety its hard to breathe and I don't know why im crying to much:( but when i hear my moms voice saying "my daughter its okay, just calm down im here I'm always here by your side I won't leave you just calm down" i think my anxiety and depression is healing slowy. Just remember that God is always there for us and you can cry all your tears to God hes always there to listen and to wipe our tears for us
my husband is like that and I hate it, he makes it seems like it's not a big deal but it is, mine is just getting worse. I hope you get the help you need.
When i can't sleep at all and i tell my parents about my endless thought rummaging, my dad calls me stupid for it and is caused by low iq hence inability to cope with life
Hey, I have GAD (diagnosed since years ago) and I always hear the same thing so I always tell them what I have been through like panic attacks, insomnia, tics etc. There's the fckng difference, we do all have anxiety but it's not the same for all of us
*When I get anxiety:* my hands shake a lot, heart beats like crazy, feels like fainting, stomach hurts, voice is trembling, just wants to stay home, and secretly cries alone *If you never had anxiety or any mental health disorder, it's more worse then you think*
I know my husband does not know, he just tells me every time I'm feeling bad like you that oh he feels like that sometimes too but he doesn't...he tries to make it seems like it's not bad and everyone has those once in a while, which maybe but not everyday and constantly affecting my everyday life.
Same 😑I’m 17 . ugh it sucks like I think I’m dying everyday. I panick over everything too like my mom got results back from a stress test and I legit started shaking and my heart was pounding and I was dizzy
It's so hard to explain to someone how you feel when you have GAD. Everyone always asks me what I'm anxious about, are you anxious about this and that. They dont understand that you can be anxious about everything. Just going to the store makes me anxious.
Yeah. I dream I forget things like projects and then people are mean to me or I don't know anything while doing an exam or people just generally being mean to me without a reason. I always end up crying in those kinds of nightmares.
the worst thing is when your in a deep depression to where you can’t physically move but you have sooo much anxiety that you feel trapped in your body while your mind speeds
I think that i have that. Every time i go out of the house i feel anxious and paranoid and i feel like it's hard for me to breath. Every night i feel my heart beating loud. I have always scary thoughts about my future and about death or losing someone. I always feel like my throat is closing and my arms feel so weak that it's hard for me to hold my phone. I have chest pains. Whenever i'm outside i can't stop thinking, what if something bad will happen to me right now? What if someone bad will try to hurt me? This is so annoying. Every night i'm crying wanting to go back to my old happy life! I just want to live without fearing so much. Even while watching something that scares me on TV makes me feel like that. I feel like i'm going to pass out. Nobody actually understands what i'm going through. Edit (1/5/2020): I just logged into this account that I don't use anymore and saw all the replies and it's good to see that I'm not alone.. I'm more mature now and I understand my situation a lot better than 2 years ago. I'm still struggling but it's not as bad now that I understand myself better. I hope everyone are doing well ❤
Rihanna Navy same..sis don't worry I have this too and it realy sucks..I almost experience the same feelings that you do...just calm up and you'll be fine .....
*me going outside* They're staring at me shit- They're gonna kidnapp me. That van carries bodies. That man is gonna beat me up- What if she's a murderer! I'mma get hit by that car.
I got a video of me filming my anxiety attack. I didn’t feel comfortable doing it but I needed it to let it be known what we as in the people who struggle with anxiety go through🥺
I’m going through a symptom right now (something stuck? In throat) Guys don’t lose hope. I know how shitty these symptoms feel, but it will soon be better. Even if you feel like no one cares about you, I do. I want you guys to fight this and not let anxiety win. You guys are worth everything and more. So please don’t lose hope. You can’t let anxiety take more of yourself. Be safe guys
I've been dealing with anxiety since I was around 10 and that was when I was getting regular panic attacks. I had that same lump in the throat sensation for almost a year, but it went away with time and have not had it since. Just know it will pass I always remind myself that every feeling and emotion will pass. Stay strong you got this!
Hey there! If you're dealing with anxiousness and looking for relief, I want you to know that hypnotherapy can really help. It works by accessing your subconscious mind to address the negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to anxious feelings. As a hypnotherapist, I help clients with hypnotherapy as an effective and natural treatment option that can give you back a sense of control and confidence. So if you're struggling with anxiousness, consider making an appointment with me. It might just be the breakthrough you've been looking for.
Its been two month going through throat tightness and lump sensation And its awfully horrible Doctors are saying its anxiety Well how are you right now???
Honestly I thought I was alone not knowing why I feel like this. Glad I saw this video made me feel better about it. I need to over come it and take my life back.😎
I’ve been watching so many videos lately trying to figure out what’s going on with me and how to improve myself, I cry every time I relate to some symptoms lol I feel so relieved thank you so much
I was diagnosed yesterday with anxiety related to a previous case of untreated PTSD that still creeps up from time to time. I was put on some SSRI medicines. The doctor said my physical state was extremely affected by my anxiety going unchecked for as long as it has, and was surprised that I was able to function as well as I've been able to. I was raised in an environment where constantly being highly alert and anxious was essential for me to keep myself safe, and it has become my new normal. It's not good for me and has ruined by body in many more ways than one. I'm finally glad I'm starting on some solutions to help get my health, both mentally and physically, back on track.
everything made so much more sense when i started thinking about how anxiety has impacted my life. i was looking in the wrong place to explain my sh, it was because i was overwhelmed, not because i was sad, and that makes so, so much more sense. i wish people knew how horrific anxiety can be.

I would love to watch a good video about depersonalization and derealization. This is a usually neglected subject but these disorders are as serious and unbearably difficult for the patients as anxiety and depression, for example. Many people who suffer from them don't even know there is a name for them and, therefore, it can feel pretty lonely. It has affected me personally for years and I hope we can all know about it and discuss this more often.
Maria Rosa Lins There are many factors in reducing panic attacks naturally . One plan I discovered that successfully combines these is the Trevs Panic Fixer (check it out on google) definately the most helpful guide that I have ever seen. Check out the unbelievable information .
Hi Maria Rosa. I also have bouts of depersonalization which usually take the form of full blow panic attacks. Although for the last two years it has been mainly GA with associated symptoms of depression. I am replying to your comment because it's the first I have met someone who specifically pointed out to the depersonalization/derealization as major factors/symptoms exacerbating and impeding normal functioning in GAD cases. I really hope I can get in touch with you and more people with the disorder to share experiences. It gives me hope and some solace to know I am not alone.
My parents don't understand how much I worry, I'm 12 and I can relate to most of these symptoms as in I'm nervous to go to school for absolutely no reason and sometimes it brings me to the verge of tears and I have absolutely no idea why and I know it's stupid, I'm not as bad at daytime but all my friends know I worry about everything like I never stop worrying about simple things like one time we were 10 minutes late to homeroom with literally the strictest teacher ever (she used to count how many seconds we were late) and we were about to enter And I had sweaty palms, rapid heart rate and I was really reluctant to go in but I felt trapped like I'd be dead if I didn't turn up because people rat you out and she comes looking for you but I'd be sent to the principle if I went in late (it's happened before and I was like breaking down and I don't know why) It's worst at night though,I find it hard to sleep and usually I end up tired enough to sleep at around 2am most nights but
3/7 nights a week roughly I recall everything that has happened and what could've happened and it has me crying, headaches, nervous feeling in my stomach , and it totally takes away my tiredness that I had previously felt and I can't sleep like I had an ex boyfriend because obviously we're just kids and everyone has experienced something like that when they're little like they play football together and hug and whatever they do I don't know but he has a friend older than him and when I went to the park his friend spat gum at me, spat ice lolly at me, threaten to throw a wrench at me from his back, hit me with his bike, threw stones at me, tried to pour a bottle of water over my head etc but he was like much older trying to terrorise me and last night unfortunately was one of those 3 nights and I couldn't stop thinking what if next time he beats me up (he's known for beating younger kids up) what if he decides to test strengths considering I'm a weakling this will end bad but when heQ
+Rick Grimes 'Thaang' was tormenting me at the park my friends did nothing because they were scared and none of the,parents from the car park helped and nobody helped me and I'm terrified I bump into him again and I also break down about going out with my friends to the shopping centre because I was frightened they would leave me alone like previously actually has happened but I had to cancel out at 3am the same day because I was worried that we'd miss the train or that I'd get left out or that we'd miss the film or they'd leave me there or I'd lose them or I'd lose my purse or phone, I have to grip my purse and phone as tight as possible when I go anywhere because I'm so paranoid about it, I can't stop worrying but I don't know if I have GAD but I show most of the symptoms also I was forced to go away in the caravan with my family and it gave me a week-long headache and I couldn't stop thinking about our pets AGHHH also I gave a break down every single night before I go to cadets beca
You need to talk to your parents and/or a school nurse. I started having symptoms of GAD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when I was 9. I suffered in silence until I was 18 when I decided to seek help. Don't make the same mistake I did by thinking there was something wrong with me that no one would understand. Get help as soon as possible! Best wishes!!
its been 10 months now. did you seek help? i would recommend you to tell this to a/your doctor. or/and to a responsible adult. i think anyone who ponders over if they have a mental illness and/or disorder, should get a professional to decide that. your doctor should help you recommend someone to you. help should be free in one way or another. but just remember: people are out there who wanna help. someone who also can help.
It’s New Year’s Eve, I don’t drink any more. I don’t take drugs anymore. I am diagnosed mixed anxiety depressive disorder and basically I feel an absolute mess, feeling anxious, dizzy, palpitations, shortness of breath,etc etc and cannot wait for this night to be over.
Sometimes I think I'm just going to "go crazy". I've had GAD for 10 years and still haven't "gone crazy"., this brings me comfort. I still can't allow myself to panic in front of people though, I just get out the situation so I can panic alone...
@@blessed7fold awww sending you a huge hug 🤗. I've actually allowed myself to panic in front of people on a couple of occasions now, it's really not as bad as I thought it was. The relief you feel after is amazing, almost like I want to do it again 😂 very liberating feeling. I hope you can achieve this too, just give yourself a bit of time. You will not go mad, u will feel a great sense of achievement afterwards. Its really worth it, I promise 🙂 x
@@Svjx It's funny that you said this because I wanted to go eat breakfast somewhere this morning as it was a fair distance from my house and I was feeling anxious and didn't want to go. But I said to myself, "I am not going to let you control my life!" And I drove down there. I definitely felt a huge sense of accomplishment afterwards.
@@Svjx Crippling anxiety for me comes and goes every few months, every time it's a new dumb topic on which I'm worried about. This time I was extremely worried that I might be developing schizo or I was going insane. Your comment brings me an amazing amount of joy. Thank you so much
@@berry9982 Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax Mind[brain] are reprogrammed. During your daily activity at home or office keep observing your breath with eyes open or closed. Best part is mood swings also reduce after daily meditation. Do the above meditation daily without any doubts and enjoy life without medication. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor-Teacher.
Anybody else always feel like their head feeling heavy when they have anxiety, cause If you do your not alone I have that feeling all day everyday and it gets tough.
I've had anxiety so bad before it made me want to end myself just to get rid of the suffering. It was so horrible, I can't explain it. I seriously wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies, it was a kind of torture I had to endure for 3 straight whole days. I'm so glad it's over.
Me too feel like can't get enough oxygen haven't been diagnosed but seems I have most if not all the symptoms. Was crying less than an hour ago thinking I was gonna die and can't cope with the daily pain it's depressing 😞
For 7 to 8 years I've had anxiety/depression disorder. No medication nor psychiatrist could help me. It'd get so bad at times I feel hopeless and ashamed I couldn't just be "Normal" like my classmates, friends and family and it sucked so much! 1) Having Anxiety IS a cursed blessing we have. So take advantage of the cards your dealt with 2) Studies shown no one cares about you or judging you, because in reality; there thinking about themselves too the way you are 3) I read a FUCKING book and didn't even finish that bitch at that. I'm proud to say I have not had an episode in 3+ years.. not even close too one And lastly, you are not alone!
I got diagnosed with GAD last month. Shortness of breath is my ongoing problem. I can’t stop worrying about my health. This has triggered because of Covid and other events that happened. I just want it to stop 😫 i was fine before all of it.
As someone who has been diagnosed with GAD, as well as bpd, adhd, and mdd I can 100% agree that medication alone is not going to benefit anyone in the long run. I would not be where I right now if it wasn’t for the regular therapy sessions I have attended in the last two and half years. It makes a difference and it’s definitely worth it
Same, Major Depression, ADD, GAD, PTSD - my medications are invaluable but I do still see a therapist and would not be where I am without that therapist. The medications are an augmentation of therapy, they allow me to be the person I Choose to be. Hugs to all my fellow GAD sufferers, it sucks.
Hi im dave. I have also anxiety and depression. But when ever the anxiety strike . I'll listen to music. I also create my medicine. . Music is my medicine. Hope you'll be better someday. And please be safe . I don't know you but i know God is with you. Please be a fighter.
Was diagnosed with this when I was 18 I’m 26 now and is still heavily present in my life I couldn’t hold down a job for years. It’s just something I’ve had to accept and live with. It’s really really hard. I’ve found it’s made me a more compassionate person though.
Thank you, I am about 90% sure I have GAD at this point, and your video made it crystal clear for me, I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to find a physiotherapist and work on this issue without medication.
I told my mom I had anxiety...I got a panic attack and ran away to my room...I also have really extreme trust issues...it doesn’t help...I breakdown a lot...I also almost cried in the supermarket today...I wrote a letter telling her about things to do...1 minute after leaving it in my room I took it back...I’ve had anxiety for years...I’ve only just told her...I can barely control it...I’ve had it since like...8 years old so like 5 years
I’ve been on anxiety, ADHD and @lightztripz on Instagram has helped me out in this now I’m doing fine and great he sells psychedelic products , honey , MUSHROOMS and lots more that can help you
anxiety has ruined my life. i have terrible social anxiety and i can’t even engage in a simple conversation because all i’m thinking is, “this is so embarrassing, they’re probably judging me” as soon as i open my mouth. why do i fear expressing myself? i want to talk about myself and share my interests but every time i try, it’s like there’s a rock stuck in my throat. so i just sit there and listen. i’m anxious around my friends, i’m anxious around my family, i’m anxious around everyone. it’s so miserable living like this, most of the time i don’t even feel like i’m truly “living.” i’d rather die than live another day feeling like this how do i make it stop

Hi, i’m AJ, i got diagnosed when i was 5! i’m 12 now, in the seventh grade, i’m going through a hard time right now. this video was very helpful for my friends
I spent so many years minimizing my symptoms that when I was told the episodes I was having were called panic attacks and when my doctor told me I had an anxiety disorder, I felt like crying but at the same time I'm still in denial...like I don't know who you're talking about but it's certainly not me. I'm still struggling to accept that I have a problem but I do know that I want more for myself than just going through the motion.
I got diagnosed with anxiety, and I SWEAR its horrible, I had to take anxiolytic, its nothing quirky or cool to have and i hate how people make it a trend
My weakness was looking at people and they staring me back, when I walk with my friend,friends and there are group of boys and girls I just look straight with my head up like a queen, before I looked down or the left way and i mummled it was bad. And now I am very confident like a queen. Put your head straight dont look left or right and walk like a queen. Like ur celebrtity, thats why everyone looks at you.
GAD is so weird. You could be relaxing and you suddenly feel a tennis ball in your throat and butterflies in your tummy. So you think "what's going on?" And you sit there trying to figure out what's caused the anxiety and then you feel anxious about feeling anxious. And your heart starts beating a little faster
I know someone who you can trust who holds all wisdom and loves you more then anyone his name is JESUS the GOD of Israel who died for are sin and on the third day he’ rose again I pray for you my friend in JESUS name
It can happen at all ages it took 30 years for me to get diagnosed but when I hit 35 it became really obviously. No alcohol with anxiety it disguises it then it makes it far worse. Have you been to the gp?
For anyone feeling down or as if the world has turned its back on you, please know that I might not know you or what you are going through, but I love you nonetheless. You are an amazing person and have the greatest gift the universe could provide, LIFE. I know, it is hard and sometimes it might seem easier to leave this place, but there is happiness out there if you look hard enough. It could take the shape of a man/woman, a endless grassy meadow filled with wild flowers, a Arizona sunset or a comfy couch with your favorite ice-cream and movie playing. There is something for everyone and yes, that includes YOU! Everyone deserves happiness, regardless if you think you are worthy of it or not. I love you, you are loved, spread the love and live a life of love ;)
Got diagnosed with this today:( it’s terrible. I can be just sitting down watching tv when all of the sudden i start feeling warm and that’s when my mind takes control! “Im hot because my blood pressure is high my chest feels weird my left hand and arm feel numb and cold! Oh oh I’m going to die! My hands start throbbing my veins are bulging and in pain! The side of my head hurts! And honestly it continues like that until I’m walking back and fourth in my house without being able to breathe. This has happened to me 3 times in the last month just to end up in the ER just to be told im fine. I always had social anxiety but now this feels worst just the though of having a heart attack and dying isn’t fun.
Oh my God I feeling exactly the SAME. Recently I've got traumatic health problem , stomach problem, in 2020. Since this I can't don't think about my health all the time. I'm afraid of blood , organs and heart and unhealthy things. I don't have words to tell how this is scary to think all the time " what is my body is doing, I'm going to die if can't relax ". I'm actually thinking about that again then I'm writing this answer for you... Hope you have a better situation now and i feel so warm to see that I'm not alone to think about that again and again
It's absolutely the worst. I feel like something bad, maybe even something tragic might happen in the near future and I can't shake that feeling. Its been persisting for years already and each day it gets worse and I talk to the people around me for it but it always comes back.
I get nervous for no reason, at all. I'm literally just sitting in bed and feel like someone is shoving sand down my throat.
Same its even worse when i dont know the reason for it
find a safe and comfortable spot, close your eyes (put some music on if you want) breathe through your nose exhale out of your mouth. Empty your mind you know that you're having an anxiety don't get distracted. This might take 5 mins or more but keep going till you feel relax trust me this works for me :)
@@sarah_9573 magnesium deficiency. B1 too
I hate this feeling. I’m literally feeling it right now and it’s hard to get over. That feeling when you can breathe or swallow. You’re not alone 🙏🏽
Eduardo G same it’s so horrible, I’m so hopeless now I feel like it’ll never get better...
Social anxiety makes you anxious even around your closest friends. You think everyone judges you, no matter who they are.......
That is all part of gad too. Hence why it is called generalized anxiety disorder. Both in and out the house even if nobody is about.
Facts...I hate going out.
Generalized is worse it's all the time abput everything you don't even need to be around anyone it incorporates social anxiety. It's like being heckled by the social anxiety crew on comments for gad. Why would you be looking at gad if your a diagnosed social. Seem like you want why we have got, trust me you definitely don't. Now jog on and find your own youtube clip for social anxiety lol (im joking) it's all life debilitating depending how bad it is. Mine took 30 years to progress and diagnose. Basically I was left to lose my mind before the doctors took me seriously and now I can't even get to work.
@@stevenlupanko2983 having both is even worse :d
That’s exactly how I feel
I was diagnosed with GAD last year and it's a horrible condition. I find it annoying when people think they know how I feel because they get anxious. GAD is worse then just feeling anxious it's extremely debilitating.
Abe Vs The World Seeing a psychiatrist and being given medication reduced it a lot. Though I do still have it and it does still effect me.
Abe Vs The World The best thing for them to do is not avoid situations. The more you avoid the worst the anxiety becomes.
I believe my coworker had this I never knew of this I’m looking it up now because he killed his self after leaving working. You just never know what someone is going through. I truly wish I could have helped him
GAD is enough to make you think about going and jumping off the nearest high rise you can find.I don't wish this on anyone!
AS true*_* plus it’s irritating but I’m kinda fucked cuzzz my anxiety and depression especially is my drug:/ sad but true I love my depression I know it’s strange but it’s true:/ Idk it’s like a giving cocaine to a cocaine addict, they always and only abuse it more:/
I don’t know if it’s just me but my heart begins to speed and I get scared which Increases it.
Me too 🥲I always panic about my health
yeah, and then I feel like ima have a heart attack so it gets worse
Same here
Same here
me too, and it makes me feel weak, and i cant eat (i dont have appetite) it's really hard.any help?

If anyone is interested in dealing with social anxiety at home the best success that ive ever had was with Kevs Control Plan (i found it on google) - definately themost helpful method that I've followed.
This video sums up my life
we must come over it all, Amin!!
Does anybody can relate to the situation when you’re lay in bed and your heart starts beating really fast and it’s hard to breathe for no reason?
Yes! I also start crying for no reason, even at the most exciting events. I worry about things that don't matter, and have trouble breathing when I go to do things like check my grades. If you need a friend, im here :)
Yesss definatly, I get that all the time during the night and it keeps me up so late. I normally feel like I can't breathe or my head will start to feel heavy ALL THE TIME, trust me your not alone :)
it sounds like panic disorder
That always happens. I always have trouble breathing when Im randomly sitting in bed and my heart starts beating really bad
Seek medical help. They can give you medication for the fast heart beats. Also takes some weight off your chest
I'm actually too scared to ask my parents to take me for a test for this, I'm more scared of my parents rolling their eyes and telling me to stop it than I am actually being diagnosed with it
I hope things went better for u:)) and same for me i dont know how to tell my mom about my issue they'll think am crazy :(( and its only getting worse
Haha same for me
Same here
Don’t worry I told my parents and luckily for me they took me and honostly going to the ER wasn’t worth it they diagnosed me and everything but they gave me a stress pill and said I have anxiety and depression which made me feel better but I learned ways to not get anxiety like closeting my eyes and breathing in and out counting to 10 it helps a bit
Praying for you
My kind of anxiety is where I overthink so much to an unimaginable extent and get anxious that I can't find a relief
Do you sometimes feel you're going crazy when having thoughts storming in your mind?
@@mdasifurrahaman578 yeah dudeeee
@@mdasifurrahaman578 Yeah, it's like a constant state of panic, can't concentrate on shit
Yeah same here.. Even if it's a small problem I overthink it and make it a big issue. But it also did some good like in academics. So whenever I think I should change I get anxious that I will become worse.
I keep thinking about how I'm getting really old so fast, I'm turning 20 in December this year. I keep thinking about aging, like I would be 30 and then 40 and 60 etc. What would I do when I don't have my parents around and stuff, it's so crazy.
Does anyone have a thought or bad event stuck in their mind which increases their anxiety?
All the time. I always thought of things in the past I should've handled better, or thinking about the future too much that I couldn't take the next step - this is happening in a lot of things in my life. It has screwed up a relationship because my mind is always on overdrive that I may sometimes be thinking too much about it and was always afraid that I'm gonna screw things up, and it eventually did. It prevented me from going out of the comfort zone in a lot of different things, like looking for a better job. I always thought that everyone thinks of me negatively - I always say that I don't care what everyone says about me but in the back of my mind, I do, perhaps a little too much than how I should. I have trouble sleeping through the day (I work graveyard shifts) as my mind is always on overdrive. I believe I've steered into depression multiple times but I couldn't really confirm it as I haven't been clinically diagnosed of anything; I've never tried to see a therapist about this before because of the pandemic, plus my job cannot support the costs of therapy.
@@kurdtjohn Yes!
No
I don't even know why do I worry?
I have many irrational fears that trigger attacks n it’s really scary I can’t control it like something bad might happen to me or my family. Or it will get me worked up so when there’s even more triggers around me I easily shut down out of fear.
I can't remember the last time I wasn't worried or anxious about something. Every single day I am stressed out. I can never catch a break from this. My muscles have became so tense that I tense up my body without noticing. I am never relaxed. And _always_ exhausted even though I am doing nothing 😂
I feel the same
My backed has hurt for 9 months now. My legs also hurt. Im 22 😥
Same, it’s been like this since I was 8-9 and I’m to scared to reach out or tell anyone
Sorry me to now 7 years with anxiety
Do you guys experience forearm aches or hand weakness?
Realizing I have anxiety gives me more anxiety
Same
Righttt
For me realising it helps. Or it did. When my mind would start to race id tell myself "its anxiety, its not your fault, you didnt do anything to cause this."
Ive said that to myself so many times though that its starting to lose that calming effect lol
@@mhm77887 glad I’m not alone
@@mhm77887 exactly.Before confessing to myself and finally accept that I’m an very anxious person , everytime I got anxious I was kinda like denying it like « nah those thoughts are too much hurtfull it can’t just be stress it’s gotta be that I have skyzophrenia or some mental illness that’s incurable » and then the circle of the anxiety begin : I got anxious because I didn’t know how to cope with anxiety , and then more and more …You just have to accept that being anxious is gonna happen all your life , you just have to not put ur mind into a vicious circle that will put you in anxiety mode all the time…Seems simple like that but you just have to control you’re breathing , put your mind into rational thoughts that will decrease you’re anxiety, and not worry , cause paradoxically when you worry about anxiety you get stuck in it…Hope I helped some people , I never got diagnosed cause I was even anxious to talk to any doctors , and never any medication (just weed) and my anxious sad life when I was even afraid of thinking is over !!!
I had every single one of the symptoms for the last seven months. Things that have helped my anxiety recently :
1) at least 15min of walking in the sunlight per day
2) exercise twice a day
3) conscious choosing to not chase a thought or dwell in it
4) easy hack to snap out of thinking:listing our colours that I see around me like when I'm brushing My teeth I do this
5)paying attention my senses
im doin some of this, my therapist also said that i have to focus on my senses, so continue what hr doin bro, we overthinkers or future thinker should practice mindfulness or to get back to reality.
@@Nate-qq3bm I agree bro. I just saw your comment now and realised I had written mine a year back. What does help is working out (or at least stretching) , being in the sun, being busy at work, doing make up and baking as a hobby.
the color one is amazing
I'm trying it right now
ty for sharing
@@SomeoneVEVO ur welcome! Right now I see light blue, dark blue and black-The colour of my jeans 😋 btw your notification made me realise I commented this a year ago,and how much has changed since then. That comment was during my break up. I'm so much better now. I'm not as anxious and depressed anymore. Sending everyone here lots of love. Hang in there, things do get better 😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Just got diagnosed with anxiety.
Chosen the introvert class, maxed out my stealth stats and I’ve gained this new special move called “panic attack”.
C.L. Visions omg same!
Same
I was freaking out, and this made me laugh for the first tut ime in a while.
Thank you.
I wish I could reset my stats
Dark Souls
I worry about literally everything, I freak out that I’m gonna stop breathing
I hope things get better for you
That’s called paranoia and you should get that checked out because it could be paranoia mixed with a little anxiety
same! if I start to think about it, I start to panic about it. Try distracting yourself and drinking some water. 💕
I was diagnosed with anxiety last week... worst feeling ever. I can't control anything i feel. I cant sleep. When i eat my stomach goes crazy. And like you i feel like im gonna stop breathing😔. You can try massaging your neck muscles and try to stretch a lot. I found that i helps with breathing and overall tension. MOST IMPORTANT naps. I cant sleep at night. But found thatbi can take naps. Please do that. Even for 20 mins. It truly helps in the long run.
@@TannerPlaysinHD Can u breath well through your nose?
“I have anxiety” “don’t worry we all get anxious some times”
Hey, I'm copy-pasting this everywhere, I found a cure:
Hello guys! I tried this type of meditation and got amazing results with it, I have much less anxiety now, it feels like it reduces my anxiety every time, I'm only 3 days in. It's called "Transcendental Meditation" Today I talked to a girl with no stuttering, which stuttering is a symptom of GAD/SA. I don't know what this meditation does but it's amazing!
Here's how to do it:
First of all do not eat for at least 2 hours before meditating, it can intefere.
Meditate at least 2 hours before going to sleep, anything under that can make it hard to sleep as this meditation increases your alertness, it wears off after 2 hours.
Sit in a chair where you can move your head freely with no obstruction, for your first time do this in a quiet room. Repeat a syllable or any short word that has no meaning in your head, silently without your voice. So repeat a mantra in your head, it can be anything but since all of you are new to this try "Lam" or "Ram."
Start by letting your mind calm down for 30 seconds, then start repeating the syllable, repeat it SILENTLY in your mind, without using your voice. Repeat it 10 - 20 times then stop and it will automatically start repeating on its own. After you repeat it that many times, do absolutely nothing. Do not concentrate on it, just do nothing, let your mind do the rest, you need to do *absolutely nothing*. You will notice if you do absolutely nothing that your mind will remind you of the syllable without you having to do any effort, and this is fine, this is exactly how the meditation works. Do this for exactly 15 minutes, DO NOT go above 15 minutes, this could increase your anxiety levels temporarily and cause too much stress to release.
Once the 15 minutes is over, slowly open your eyes to not shock your nervous system and STOP thinking the syllable. Now that you have stopped thinking the syllable, just rest with your eyes closed for at least 4 minutes, preferably 5, and keep sitting down. Now if you did everything right (Did not concentrate, rested for 5 minutes after meditating) you should notice less anxiety immediately after the session, especially if you suffer from severe anxiety like 90% of us do. If you haven't tried this meditation yet, then please try it right now if you have time, you will be happy you did. This is obviously not a scam, I'm giving you a meditation course that usually costs $1000+ for FREE. :)
Good luck curing your anxiety Frankie.
@Frankie Duharte, Yes we all have and get anxiety and depression and there is nothing bad about that problem is when you are anxious and depressed most of the time and for no particular reason, then thats an illness and people do need to worry.
I feel you
But do you have a diagnosed disorder it is two very different things. Everyone has anxiety at some point and anxiety that is not a disorder is no big deal at all. If you wake up everyday suicidal and feel like someone has put your brain in upsidedown then its a different struggle.
Hearing people say that to me makes me want to punch them. They literally don't understand. And it's so frustrating.
I can't eat, I start gagging whenever I'm stressed, can't sleep, I get nightmares, I get easily emotional, I'm irritable, and just the excessive worrying about almost everything. I cant get a bad experience out of my mind even if it happened days ago, it bothers me that I think my work mates are always talking behind my back, I just feel tired of having to worry about everything.
feeling anxious ? having trouble to rest ? check us out and hope it help ❣️
It’s so rare to see someone else mention gagging when stressed. I’ve been struggling with this symptom for around 4 years now and it’s such a frustrating and embarrassing experience. Still, knowing there are others out there with the same problem makes me feel a little bit better. Hope you’re doing well
Hope you get better soon.
@@anelenav same here. Every single morning I gag because of how anxious and nervous I am.
Can’t believe I found someone else who gets this, have been dealing with this since 11 (20 now) had it under control for a few months but now its worse than it ever has been.
Reading all these comments makes me feel a little bit better, I know that I’m not alone and I’m not the only one feeling this way. I wish that everyone who suffers from anxiety doesn’t give up. It’s really really hard, but I believe that someday it will get better. Stay strong❤️
Amen! 💚 Thank you for your comment. We are not alone 🤞
Me also
Thank you
are you ok now?
still struggling... give me some guide
Does anyone els lose control of there thoughts while trying to sleep and see strange things that not really terrify you but just make you restless?
Well.. I just have this problem where I worry about the possibilities that something bad can happen any day at any minute, and it makes my life uncomfortable sometimes..
That along with all of my burdens, and the fact that you are constantly pressured into trying to survive day by day, dealing with stress at your job, trying to keep the bills paid, and food on the table...
Life is a really tough ride, and it can be scary sometimes, and you just feel so alone through it all, and there really isn't many people that can help you or comfort you because they themselves are dealing with their own problems.
I know exactly what you mean it's so terrifying it has been happening to me since I smoked too much weed 5 months ago do you have any idea what your cause might be
I always solve sudoko s in bed. For me it makes it easier not to think about anything and fall a sleep faster.
Frankys World same, can we talk about it? bc idk many people that has it because of a bad weed experience.

Literally My stomach hurts when my anxiety gets out of control and I feel tinggliness all over my body
Saaaaame and headache what did we do to have this lam done
God this is relatable. I’m not diagnosed, but for what seems like years, I’ve always felt this way. Does anyone else get the hiccups really easily and it just comes at really random times?
Same, it's annoying
Samee and my head and the back of my neck get hot and tingles it sucks
Me too
I have had anxiety since 2016 (8th grade) , initially the symptoms were mild but now it is persistent and excessive. I got help in the beginning of this year because I knew it was messing me up. Chest pains, muscle tension, trouble sleeping (or not sleeping at all), digestion problem, loss of appetite, hard time focussing. I am 17 now ( 18 in the end of October) and I am in the lowest point in my life. I have lost hope but I'm constantly trying to tell myself that it will be alright.
I feel like I've failed myself and everyone around me, my mum, dad and sister. I have always had the image of a strong daughter infront of my dad, he calls me a ''fighter". I am afraid to tell him about how I feel because my sister is already suffering from bipolar disorder (since 2016) and telling him about my problem will make him feel terrible and I don't wanna do that. I can't sleep and I haven't sleep well in years. I wanna feel at ease but I can't.
Please, pray for me.
How you doing now...?
You might want to look into cannabis mamn
There is only one way out of something . To just get into it … you love your family and they love you … your Dad will be there for you … it’s all about the love ❤️ … keep the faith 🙏
I’m right with you man feel all those things the sensations r the worst
Me too suffering from GAD
I hate when people tell me “there’s nothing to worry about, don’t think about it” because it’s not like I can control it, i just have it an it’s horrible, but I’m too scared too ask my mom to go see a therapist because I’m only 14 and I don’t want people to think that I just want to be “edgy”.
Excuse my English, it is not my first language :)
Yes that doesn't help. I had it growing up quite bad and over the years for me I found that accepting yeah I have this anxious feeling bad today, but it will be better tomorrow. So not to stress about it when you get it and accept yes I have this feeling now, but it will pass.
Thanks for the advice :)
I must say for English being your second language you wrote that out great, English isn’t my strong suite but you’re better than me and I’ve known english my whole life.

For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax Mind[brain] are reprogrammed.

I can't focus on anything and I am scared of nearly everything and feel like my brain and my tear ducts are going to explode, I feel like there is a huge lump in between my throat and chest, it feels so annoying
Panic! At the disco with twenty one crybabies I am so sorry I know how you feel I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis for no apparent reason It has taken over my life I had to stop working because I felt so weak to do anything, but I find peace when I pray to Jesus, I hope you get better.
Panic! At the disco with twenty one crybabies same ..I get this feeling of a lump between my throat and....actually it's nothing..it's just the anxiety and panic which causes it..just try to calm down if you get this ever again..
Try to start to sleep better dont drink caffeine dont smoke dont drink dont dp any drugs you can always control it you just have to fight the factors
losflacosmx done all that but still the same
Start doing yoga, it has really done a miracle to reduce my anxiety levels
To whoever dealing with this. IT WILL GET BETTER. I promise you that. You are not going crazy. U will not die because of it. U will be better. Focus on not being scared of the symptoms rather than focusing on getting rid of it. Change whatever can be changed. What can’t just say screw it and move on. It takes a little bit of time but ur effort will show later not right away. Be patient and strong. When u overcome this, u will be wayyyyy stronger than before. Much love and I wish you to be happier than ever
Thank you! Control the controllable a 💚🙏
@Zakio 🙂💚
It was very hard but i learned to face the anxiety head on
Well said 😎👍⭐️❤️
Thank u, u won't regret this.....
I had a bad anxiety day today. My bad anxiety days are usefully voices in my head telling me things that would happen if I sent that text,ate,did school work, and normal things. It’s hard to get work done without crying and breaking down. Like today I was gonna send a text about asking for company because of it and a voice said I’m clingy,sharing too much, and being over the top. Just know, anyone who has GED your not alone and there are people who feel you. You got this and stay strong❤️
I got told by my doctor I have this today. it's like a relief because now I know what's wrong. I'm getting treatment now and trying to be positive no matter what.
Christina Harley was your doctor able to help you?
Rose Leaden - If you don't mind me asking, are you seeking help yourself? I've been through the process of being diagnosed and treated for Generalised Anxiety Disorder. If you have any questions, I could probably give you some advice.
Christina Harley omg exactly like me
Christina Amelia good for u^^>!!:) I’m happy for you I hope it’s going well and I recently got diagnosed as well I always knew there was something weird or wrong though tbh subconconsciously;)
I would get diagnosed from a professional just to be sure;)
"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

Do not set a timer for 15 minutes as it could shock your nervous system, set a timer in your mind, stop when you feel 15 minutes have gone by.

Hi!
Reina B wassup.

This video basically sums up my GAD life.
I'm 33 and still jobless. And was going to find a job but my fear and anxiety prevented me to do so. I have a thought of fear that boss would fired me with a very angry tone and others making fun of me for being weak if I don't do the job well. And yes, this fear also prevented me from going outside and become anti-social and stayed in my comfort zone for eternity. This GAD started during my childhood.
My sister understand my symptoms and decided to call for Hypnotherapy to overcome my GAD. God, I pray that this hypnotherapy works because I really need to kill off my fear and anxiety. Wish me luck!
reddevils500 To hope one thing will fix you is a bad outlook. You need to join support groups and physically talk with people no matter how anxiety provoking it is. Get any job and you will feel better than you do now. We try and make excuses but you need to fight for yourself. You create your own heaven and hell. Don't die and live every last breath in your own hell. Simply helping someone else besides yourself will contribute to your mental healing. This will be a lifelong struggle but it is better than submitting to a life of self hate
reddevils500 how are you now would love to know
Great 😁
Best of luck
I wish u luck u can come out the other end and be well
it sucks even more when your main trigger of your anxiety is health related and something completely out of your reach , not being able to do anything to make the symptom go away and it always being there makes my anxiety worse :/
Yes I know how it is I have that problem 🥲I always think I’m having a heart attack or that my heart is beating funny. And I think I’m dying over anything such as a headache= brain tumour or my heart pounding after running is a heart attack. I got a blood test and nothing came back and I’m still worried.
I have health related anxiety called hypochondriasis. I misdiagnosed it as GAD 2 yrs ago, now i actually have GAD like??
i have anxiety when im going outside the house. i feel like everyone is judging me and always watching me
Same my heart start beating fast and I'm shaking and sweating..
I hear you... Its hard right now.
everyone does
:( same
That’s me! Last Sunday I was sitting in church and I thought everyone was staring at me and could here my thoughts so I had to leave the church and go outside and almost didn’t go back in🥲
Do others here that have it also tend to socially isolate themselves? I got diagnosed like 11 years ago, but never took it seriously enough...
Raafke yes i tend to socially isolate myself it's like having social anxiety too 😥
Raafke yes I would say I socially isolated myself throughout school:/ but I mean to be fair, I also had an awful time making friends in the first place and got pretty much labeled as the frikin weird kid/girl evn my cousins I was isolated from:/ pretty much all of them except selectively one or 2 maybe most at 3 though:\
Yesss. Ppl at work think I'm weird and quiet
Yes i socially isolate myself alot
Yeah i isolate myself
I just hate it when someone thinks they know how you feel even when they clearly don't. My best friend in school was walking home with me after I had a panic attack that day (palpitations, shortness of breath, fidgeting, fear, disorientation) saying "oh yeah, I had that in English today.". Maybe I'm being too sensitive about it, but the way she said it was like she dismissed what was going on with me and it made me feel uncomfortable and doubt myself.
I'm 41 years old and this has been an issue for me for most of my adult life. It definitely comes and goes. But it gets better.
I’ve suffered for years,I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
U r not alone
@Beatrice Asian it comes and goes but never leaves ty for asking
@@T.d.Mack74 I have been suffering the same..thanx for sharing
I feel the same way. I've suffered for 30 years and it's affected my life negatively. The worst part about the whole thing is wasted potential.
@@JohnnyBuschi awww I feel so bad for you. BTW how u doing now?
Does anyone have a problem of oversweating
Ishan Bhattarai There are many causes of intense perspiration probably due to active sweat glands, in the video it said its one of the symptoms of GAD
@@poipoi2920 ok but what are the treatments though?
You certainly can over-sweat, I know I do
Me.. It's my armpits. The slightest movements and my armpits are soaked in sweat lol
Yes :(
I get super anxious when I drive. It feels like everything is closing in on me, every sound is intensified, voices are constantly running in my head, my breath becomes shorter. I can’t even sit still. i pray none of you have to feel what i feel daily. I don’t know if it’s an anxiety disorder but I finally built the courage to see a doctor. wish me luck!
How are you now?
I have the same thing!! Music helps, but driving the freeway is a horrible feeling for me 😓 even if I'm not driving.
Good luck! I had literally the same thing and taking driving lessons was kinda the worst time of my life and I still hate driving but it gets better. But is still can’t take the highway and sometimes when I drive I just freak out and can’t breath anymore (a lot of fun, super safe for the people around me or myself). But as I said good luck, and it keeps getting better I promise!
I can't drive again, i don't already pass the driving lessons but I already feel how stressing this looks. How are you since one year ?
Same with me. How to deal it ?
I am unable to sleep because of anxiety and my hands and legs shivered but I decided to fight and it relieves me. have faith on your self and get your self busy with your works
When I look at the internet it looks like EVERYONE has anxiety
Look,everyone has problems okay?! Its not something to joke about it either
I know. But it's the same as that everyone think they have depression...
Its because we're all too anxious to leave the house and socialize
@@eleniss6669 yeah maybe some ppl self-diagnose themselves but it has its symptoms,and the people who came here has the same reasons (they have anxiety) they talk about their feelings here bcs they know they are not alone and is seeking advice,even i have anxiety but im afraid to go to the doctor
@@tutyhasbi9032 thank youu!!!!
Reading the comments, I feel so sad. I don't have any mental illnesses, and I don't know how it's like, but I want you to know that there are people who are here for you. If you feel alone, you can always talk to an online therapist for free. We love and appreciate you, and hope that things get better!
And to those who are faking anxiety, just stop, please. People won't treat you differently, you don't get special treatment, and it's just really unsympathetic to those who have mental disorders. Thank you, and have a nice day. ^^
You're an angel..❤

Anxiety, panic attacks, depression and other mental illnesses are very hard to deal with. I suffer from Generalized anxiety and panic attacks and I feel like I’m going to die every single day. 😔. Thanks for your kind words. Not everybody empathizes with us. They think it’s something you can cure overnight and don’t understand the troubles we go through.

There is a lot of people who have anxiety and mental health issues, unfortunately a lot of people keep it quiet when it would help if people opened up about it
Hello! I tried this type of meditation and got amazing results with it, I have much less anxiety now, it feels like it reduces my anxiety every time, I'm only 3 days in. It's called "Transcendental Meditation" Today I talked to a girl with no stuttering, which stuttering is a symptom of GAD/SA. I don't know what this meditation does but it's amazing!
Here's how to do it:
First of all do not eat for at least 2 hours before meditating, it can intefere.
Meditate at least 2 hours before going to sleep, anything under that can make it hard to sleep as this meditation increases your alertness, it wears off after 2 hours.
Meditate 2 times a day, with at least 6 hours between each session.
Sit in a chair where you can move your head freely with no obstruction, for your first time do this in a quiet room. Repeat a syllable or any short word that has no meaning in your head, silently without your voice. So repeat a mantra in your head, it can be anything but since all of you are new to this try "Lam" or "Ram."
Start by letting your mind calm down for 30 seconds, then start repeating the syllable, repeat it SILENTLY in your mind, without using your voice. Repeat it 10 - 20 times then stop and it will automatically start repeating on its own. After you repeat it that many times, do absolutely nothing. Do not concentrate on it, just do nothing, let your mind do the rest, you need to do *absolutely nothing*. You will notice if you do absolutely nothing that your mind will remind you of the syllable without you having to do any effort, and this is fine, this is exactly how the meditation works. Do this for exactly 15 minutes, DO NOT go above 15 minutes, this could increase your anxiety levels temporarily and cause too much stress to release.
Once the 15 minutes is over, slowly open your eyes to not shock your nervous system and STOP thinking the syllable. Now that you have stopped thinking the syllable, just rest with your eyes closed for at least 4 minutes, preferably 5, and keep sitting down. Now if you did everything right (Did not concentrate, rested for 5 minutes after meditating) you should notice less anxiety immediately after the session, especially if you suffer from severe anxiety like 90% of us do. If you haven't tried this meditation yet, then please try it right now if you have time, you will be happy you did. This is obviously not a scam, I'm giving you a meditation course that usually costs $1000+ for FREE. :)
when im feeling bad i search for these videos to read the comments, then i dont feel alone 💀
100% same
Me too, the comments make me feel comfort for some reason
Me too ong 💀
Same here
I fixed my anxiety, social akwardness and some fears i had when i did a 4 month part time job as a construction labourer. I had anxiety saying hi to one person. But this job made me say hi to 100 people every day and work and talk with them. After a month I got used to it and I realised all my fears and akwardness and shyness went away. I even started talking more and had 4 social sircles that I was switching to talk too in breaks. When I went back to my parents and stayed two weeks home my anxiety got back up and i realised the reason why I really had anxiety. It was because I was home all the time and alone mostly on my computer all the time. Which breaks you from social interaction. Not to mention sitting or not exercising all day your nourveousness builds up.
Guys fight your fears by talking and socializing its scary but if you find a way to do it every day you can cure it
So true. Went through something similar with my retail job. Just gotta socialize until GAD takes a back seat.
Omg this Is so true. I work in construction and it's usually just me and the walls I'm going to work. For weeks. I'm alone 90% of my time. But I went to a project far from home. We stayed a month in there. And then I was part of a crew. Everyone was so nicee. I felt part of something. I literally had 0 anxiety. For 2 weeks straight. When I left it came back...
Perhaps or perhaps you had anxiety and not a disorder. Physical work did work for me though but after a work injury it still came back with a vengeance. I think its all down to a individual and the severity. What works for one might not work for another. I find mine has progressed after 30 years of suffering from it. The brain is seriously complicated. Do you take antidepressants?
Oh my gosh I relate to this so much. Ever since quarantine, I have been having really bad anxiety and I realise it is because I dont speak much with others. I am an introvert and so I tend to prefer time alone but I realise when I socialise with others, I am not that scared anymore. Just thinking about everything is scary but once I start doing it, I don't feel so scared anymore. Even for introverts, communication is extremely important
U r right
I sometimes feels like anxiety stays with you forever but it definitely becomes managable over time, with the right help of course. 3 or 4 years ago when I still lived with my mother my anxiety was at it's absolute worst. I remember this one time when I was in a very early stage with therapy and medication and what not. One day I ran out of medication and I didn't sleep for like 2 days. Througout the day I had this feeling like I was gonna faint every 10 seconds, couldn't eat, felt exhausted, extremely on edge and just terrified for what was gonna happen to me. When I went outside to walk the dog it felt like everyone was watching me. Whenever someone looked at me I just wanted to punch them or scream at them to leave me alone. When I got out of the shower on the first day I looked at the mirror and I could see all of my muscles shaking and tensing up. And after I finished my dinner I finally fainted and woke up on my bedroom floor 2 hours later, dizzy and completely confused to what had happened. I thought I had fallen out of bed but the lights were on and I was still wearing my normal clothes. Shortly after that I threw up and went downstairs and saw my mom sitting on the couch watching tv. That's when I found out I had been laying on the floor knocked out for 2 hours. That must've been the lowest point in my life when it comes to anxiety. Now as I'm typing this I finally have a stable job and I'm about to move to a new apartment for the 2nd time. I'm way more relaxed and I barely even think about the things that used to terrify me like using public transport or just being away from home in general. I still have my moments but it keeps getting less severe and easier to control. I'm not sure why I wrote this whole paragraph but I guess I just wanted to share my story and hopefully help someone who is going through the whole process of recovering. It's not always easy but it will get better. It's all about setting these tiny goals and experiencing personal victories. If you do that enough times things will get better for you
I'm going through a period of extreme anxiety right now and this helped to soothe me. I'm so glad you're doing better and i hope the same goes for me.
Thx for sharing
Thankyou, very helpful. I thought I had good control on it but recently after covid and starting the job again with all new people have become a little more than weird. It gets really tough to communicate with people. I want to focus more on work but when will this go away!! 🤞
Thank you for writing all of this. It’s made me realise how bad it can get and makes me feel less guilty about experiencing symptoms that are debilitating.
Thank you for sharing this . When I read all these stories makes you realise you'd not on your own there's millions of people who go threw this and its ok. I've just been diagnosed with GAD and my life right now is a disaster I'm so broken inside because I can't seem to figure out all these physical emotions I'm feeling. I'm scared all the time and just want to feel ok again .. I have 2 beautiful girls and I just wanna be ok for them but it's so hard because I feel exhausted like I'm in a battle in my head with myself everyday I'm stuck there and I keep fighting and fighting but I'm so tired 😫 I hope I feel better soon too and glad you are too . Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Sometimes my anxiety gets so bad I have a mini panic attack (very short)
update!!!!
ok so basically- i was diagnosed with anxiety and my doctor told me to see a therapist- i didn’t tho but my anxiety got SO much better… i used to get an anxiety attack 3-7 times a week and they just kept getting worse with time but then idk- it started to fade, i still get anxiety but not as bad as i used to… i started collecting crystals again and that REALLY calmed me down
ikkk, mine are very short which makes me wonder if i am faking it.

My anxiety has gotten so bad to the point where I can’t leave my home, don’t want to be seen by anyone, always nervous and just stressing over anything and everything. My heart is always racing and I can feel my brain become numb which creates brain fog from the stress of it all. It’s debilitating and I wish I could just turn it off so I can get my life together before I run out of time/ lose my mind
please get help… it gets better trust me. please please try to open up and help heal youself.
this is exactly how i feel i’m so tired of it , i have an appointment tomorrow and i’m freaking out about it
If it's stress over interactions it may help if you can just take a few steps out of your comfort zone to quiet area(or stay by your home & ask a stranger/neighbor for the time). Then, the next day repeat the process by speaking to 2 ppl & so on...
To overcome your worries.
--Also, writing therapy helps. Wether it's a dream, food journal, poetry, or anything to start putting pen to paper. Once you begin writing, after a few weeks it feels natural & having the pen to paper can reveal subconscious thoughts or things you can't recall(maybe issues you dont realize impacted you or bcuz your brain thinks it's protecting you by hiding some memories) that are causing the stress &/or depression.
1 year later,
how are things now? Any better?
Exercise, writing in a journal and meditation has helped me a lot!!
I have been dealing with anxiety for several years now. So damn exhausting.
i know! i have been dealing with social anxiety and generalized anxiety ever since i was very little. i don't even know what it's like to not have anxiety. i also developed ocd later on, which caused me to be hospitalized for 3 weeks because of how severe it was!
I feel so tired every day from this is this normal to have or could it be somethigg my else ?
Search shaan kassam thank me later
Same and mine is only getting worse
@@luvie7093 shaan kassam I promise
I have anxiety, when im attacking anxiety its hard to breathe and I don't know why im crying to much:( but when i hear my moms voice saying "my daughter its okay, just calm down im here I'm always here by your side I won't leave you just calm down" i think my anxiety and depression is healing slowy. Just remember that God is always there for us and you can cry all your tears to God hes always there to listen and to wipe our tears for us
The treatment is very easy،Only the subconscious mind laughs at us.
I’m scared to tell my parents I have anxiety because they’re probably going to say “Everyone has anxiety, you’re fine.”
my husband is like that and I hate it, he makes it seems like it's not a big deal but it is, mine is just getting worse. I hope you get the help you need.
When i can't sleep at all and i tell my parents about my endless thought rummaging, my dad calls me stupid for it and is caused by low iq hence inability to cope with life

Anxiety- afraid of a dog
GAD- afriad of everything around u
But it can be sorted out guys🙏
Hey, I have GAD (diagnosed since years ago) and I always hear the same thing so I always tell them what I have been through like panic attacks, insomnia, tics etc. There's the fckng difference, we do all have anxiety but it's not the same for all of us
*When I get anxiety:* my hands shake a lot, heart beats like crazy, feels like fainting, stomach hurts, voice is trembling, just wants to stay home, and secretly cries alone
*If you never had anxiety or any mental health disorder, it's more worse then you think*
Same 😓
Same today I got really nervous I was shaking I was on the verge of tears idk if I have anxiety but this happens a lot tho
I know my husband does not know, he just tells me every time I'm feeling bad like you that oh he feels like that sometimes too but he doesn't...he tries to make it seems like it's not bad and everyone has those once in a while, which maybe but not everyday and constantly affecting my everyday life.
Same here
Same 😑I’m 17 . ugh it sucks like I think I’m dying everyday. I panick over everything too like my mom got results back from a stress test and I legit started shaking and my heart was pounding and I was dizzy
It's so hard to explain to someone how you feel when you have GAD. Everyone always asks me what I'm anxious about, are you anxious about this and that. They dont understand that you can be anxious about everything. Just going to the store makes me anxious.
Who else gets nightmares, when they go to sleep because of anxiety?
Recently my nightmares give me panic attacks and i wake up in the middle of the night with a panic attack. Thats new.
Yeah. I dream I forget things like projects and then people are mean to me or I don't know anything while doing an exam or people just generally being mean to me without a reason. I always end up crying in those kinds of nightmares.
and wake up thinking "thank god it was just a dream"
I don't remember last time i had a good dream....
the worst thing is when your in a deep depression to where you can’t physically move but you have sooo much anxiety that you feel trapped in your body while your mind speeds
Doctor Eromon on RUclips Helped me to totally get rid of my Anxiety......
I think that i have that. Every time i go out of the house i feel anxious and paranoid and i feel like it's hard for me to breath. Every night i feel my heart beating loud. I have always scary thoughts about my future and about death or losing someone. I always feel like my throat is closing and my arms feel so weak that it's hard for me to hold my phone. I have chest pains. Whenever i'm outside i can't stop thinking, what if something bad will happen to me right now? What if someone bad will try to hurt me? This is so annoying. Every night i'm crying wanting to go back to my old happy life! I just want to live without fearing so much. Even while watching something that scares me on TV makes me feel like that. I feel like i'm going to pass out. Nobody actually understands what i'm going through.
Edit (1/5/2020): I just logged into this account that I don't use anymore and saw all the replies and it's good to see that I'm not alone.. I'm more mature now and I understand my situation a lot better than 2 years ago. I'm still struggling but it's not as bad now that I understand myself better. I hope everyone are doing well ❤
Rihanna Navy same..sis don't worry I have this too and it realy sucks..I almost experience the same feelings that you do...just calm up and you'll be fine .....
Me too and more scary the thinking about my future It’s scary and I just think what’s gonna happen too me when I die and stuff like that

I've been dealing with anxiety since I was around 10 and that was when I was getting regular panic attacks. I had that same lump in the throat sensation for almost a year, but it went away with time and have not had it since. Just know it will pass I always remind myself that every feeling and emotion will pass. Stay strong you got this!

So if you're struggling with anxiousness, consider making an appointment with me. It might just be the breakthrough you've been looking for.
Its been two month going through throat tightness and lump sensation
And its awfully horrible
Doctors are saying its anxiety
Well how are you right now???
Honestly I thought I was alone not knowing why I feel like this.
Glad I saw this video made me feel better about it. I need to over come it and take my life back.😎
I’ve been watching so many videos lately trying to figure out what’s going on with me and how to improve myself, I cry every time I relate to some symptoms lol I feel so relieved thank you so much
I was diagnosed yesterday with anxiety related to a previous case of untreated PTSD that still creeps up from time to time. I was put on some SSRI medicines. The doctor said my physical state was extremely affected by my anxiety going unchecked for as long as it has, and was surprised that I was able to function as well as I've been able to. I was raised in an environment where constantly being highly alert and anxious was essential for me to keep myself safe, and it has become my new normal. It's not good for me and has ruined by body in many more ways than one. I'm finally glad I'm starting on some solutions to help get my health, both mentally and physically, back on track.
Same here my anxiety started with a panic looking into getting help as soon as possible
Im going on meds to help my anxiety, also from ptsd. Im very scared tho, my doc says it can make it even worse while it take time to work
everything made so much more sense when i started thinking about how anxiety has impacted my life. i was looking in the wrong place to explain my sh, it was because i was overwhelmed, not because i was sad, and that makes so, so much more sense. i wish people knew how horrific anxiety can be.

I would love to watch a good video about depersonalization and derealization. This is a usually neglected subject but these disorders are as serious and unbearably difficult for the patients as anxiety and depression, for example. Many people who suffer from them don't even know there is a name for them and, therefore, it can feel pretty lonely. It has affected me personally for years and I hope we can all know about it and discuss this more often.
We might be able to make a video about it at some point. Not sure when that might happen though.
Maria Rosa Lins There are many factors in reducing panic attacks naturally . One plan I discovered that successfully combines these is the Trevs Panic Fixer (check it out on google) definately the most helpful guide that I have ever seen. Check out the unbelievable information .

Hi Maria Rosa. I also have bouts of depersonalization which usually take the form of full blow panic attacks. Although for the last two years it has been mainly GA with associated symptoms of depression. I am replying to your comment because it's the first I have met someone who specifically pointed out to the depersonalization/derealization as major factors/symptoms exacerbating and impeding normal functioning in GAD cases. I really hope I can get in touch with you and more people with the disorder to share experiences. It gives me hope and some solace to know I am not alone.
Those two are symptoms of GAD actually
My parents don't understand how much I worry, I'm 12 and I can relate to most of these symptoms as in I'm nervous to go to school for absolutely no reason and sometimes it brings me to the verge of tears and I have absolutely no idea why and I know it's stupid, I'm not as bad at daytime but all my friends know I worry about everything like I never stop worrying about simple things like one time we were 10 minutes late to homeroom with literally the strictest teacher ever (she used to count how many seconds we were late) and we were about to enter And I had sweaty palms, rapid heart rate and I was really reluctant to go in but I felt trapped like I'd be dead if I didn't turn up because people rat you out and she comes looking for you but I'd be sent to the principle if I went in late (it's happened before and I was like breaking down and I don't know why)
It's worst at night though,I find it hard to sleep and usually I end up tired enough to sleep at around 2am most nights but
3/7 nights a week roughly I recall everything that has happened and what could've happened and it has me crying, headaches, nervous feeling in my stomach , and it totally takes away my tiredness that I had previously felt and I can't sleep like I had an ex boyfriend because obviously we're just kids and everyone has experienced something like that when they're little like they play football together and hug and whatever they do I don't know but he has a friend older than him and when I went to the park his friend spat gum at me, spat ice lolly at me, threaten to throw a wrench at me from his back, hit me with his bike, threw stones at me, tried to pour a bottle of water over my head etc but he was like much older trying to terrorise me and last night unfortunately was one of those 3 nights and I couldn't stop thinking what if next time he beats me up (he's known for beating younger kids up) what if he decides to test strengths considering I'm a weakling this will end bad but when heQ
+Rick Grimes 'Thaang' was tormenting me at the park my friends did nothing because they were scared and none of the,parents from the car park helped and nobody helped me and I'm terrified I bump into him again and I also break down about going out with my friends to the shopping centre because I was frightened they would leave me alone like previously actually has happened but I had to cancel out at 3am the same day because I was worried that we'd miss the train or that I'd get left out or that we'd miss the film or they'd leave me there or I'd lose them or I'd lose my purse or phone, I have to grip my purse and phone as tight as possible when I go anywhere because I'm so paranoid about it, I can't stop worrying but I don't know if I have GAD but I show most of the symptoms also I was forced to go away in the caravan with my family and it gave me a week-long headache and I couldn't stop thinking about our pets AGHHH also I gave a break down every single night before I go to cadets beca
+Rick Grimes 'Thaang' because I always mess up parade and drill and I hate myself and I don't know why, help!!!
You need to talk to your parents and/or a school nurse. I started having symptoms of GAD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when I was 9. I suffered in silence until I was 18 when I decided to seek help. Don't make the same mistake I did by thinking there was something wrong with me that no one would understand. Get help as soon as possible! Best wishes!!
its been 10 months now. did you seek help? i would recommend you to tell this to a/your doctor. or/and to a responsible adult. i think anyone who ponders over if they have a mental illness and/or disorder, should get a professional to decide that. your doctor should help you recommend someone to you. help should be free in one way or another. but just remember: people are out there who wanna help. someone who also can help.
It’s New Year’s Eve, I don’t drink any more. I don’t take drugs anymore. I am diagnosed mixed anxiety depressive disorder and basically I feel an absolute mess, feeling anxious, dizzy, palpitations, shortness of breath,etc etc and cannot wait for this night to be over.
Bro are you alright?
Sometimes I think I'm just going to "go crazy". I've had GAD for 10 years and still haven't "gone crazy"., this brings me comfort. I still can't allow myself to panic in front of people though, I just get out the situation so I can panic alone...

@@berry9982 Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax Mind[brain] are reprogrammed.

Anybody else always feel like their head feeling heavy when they have anxiety, cause If you do your not alone I have that feeling all day everyday and it gets tough.
Me too
Me all the time
I feel my eyes get heavy like i could just faint
Yes
Yeah. Headache and eyes pain
I've had anxiety so bad before it made me want to end myself just to get rid of the suffering. It was so horrible, I can't explain it. I seriously wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies, it was a kind of torture I had to endure for 3 straight whole days. I'm so glad it's over.
My anxiety is so bad to where I dissociated through almost my entire childhood and dissociate so much that it's hard to do chores in adulthood.
@jessicaras4540 Amen❤
I always feel like i'm dying on the inside ;w;
Bonnie379Draws same and ppl think I just hate ppl idk what to do

Me too feel like can't get enough oxygen haven't been diagnosed but seems I have most if not all the symptoms. Was crying less than an hour ago thinking I was gonna die and can't cope with the daily pain it's depressing 😞
@@Rachie-nj3oi same😢😢😢
SAME
I am here fully out of my anxiety and i can suggest you all that don't panic breath slowly you won't die and just have a beautiful life❤️
I was diagnosed with this a year ago but never knew the details of it. But after watching this I match up perfectly with it! Thank u
Glad it helped, Brandon! 🙏🏼
For 7 to 8 years I've had anxiety/depression disorder. No medication nor psychiatrist could help me. It'd get so bad at times I feel hopeless and ashamed I couldn't just be "Normal" like my classmates, friends and family and it sucked so much!
1) Having Anxiety IS a cursed blessing we have. So take advantage of the cards your dealt with
2) Studies shown no one cares about you or judging you, because in reality; there thinking about themselves too the way you are
3) I read a FUCKING book and didn't even finish that bitch at that. I'm proud to say I have not had an episode in 3+ years.. not even close too one
And lastly, you are not alone!
What book?
I got diagnosed with GAD last month. Shortness of breath is my ongoing problem. I can’t stop worrying about my health. This has triggered because of Covid and other events that happened. I just want it to stop 😫 i was fine before all of it.
As someone who has been diagnosed with GAD, as well as bpd, adhd, and mdd I can 100% agree that medication alone is not going to benefit anyone in the long run. I would not be where I right now if it wasn’t for the regular therapy sessions I have attended in the last two and half years. It makes a difference and it’s definitely worth it
Hey, I've GAD, BPD and ADHD amongst the ones you've listed. Sending hugs 🥺🫂
Same, Major Depression, ADD, GAD, PTSD - my medications are invaluable but I do still see a therapist and would not be where I am without that therapist. The medications are an augmentation of therapy, they allow me to be the person I Choose to be. Hugs to all my fellow GAD sufferers, it sucks.
Hi im dave. I have also anxiety and depression. But when ever the anxiety strike . I'll listen to music. I also create my medicine. . Music is my medicine.
Hope you'll be better someday. And please be safe . I don't know you but i know God is with you. Please be a fighter.
Was diagnosed with this when I was 18 I’m 26 now and is still heavily present in my life I couldn’t hold down a job for years. It’s just something I’ve had to accept and live with. It’s really really hard. I’ve found it’s made me a more compassionate person though.
Yes girl,it humbled me😢
Thank you, I am about 90% sure I have GAD at this point, and your video made it crystal clear for me, I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to find a physiotherapist and work on this issue without medication.
Sahblade Lol you misspelled god. Have fun with your newly found faith.
I'm a Christian, but, I don't really understand what you're getting at.
Sahblade No I just made a bad pun. "gad" - "god " pretty shitty.
Sahblade Just replace it and take your comment out of context.
Lol
I told my mom I had anxiety...I got a panic attack and ran away to my room...I also have really extreme trust issues...it doesn’t help...I breakdown a lot...I also almost cried in the supermarket today...I wrote a letter telling her about things to do...1 minute after leaving it in my room I took it back...I’ve had anxiety for years...I’ve only just told her...I can barely control it...I’ve had it since like...8 years old so like 5 years
I’ve been on anxiety, ADHD and @lightztripz on Instagram has helped me out in this now I’m doing fine and great he sells psychedelic products , honey , MUSHROOMS and lots more that can help you
anxiety has ruined my life. i have terrible social anxiety and i can’t even engage in a simple conversation because all i’m thinking is, “this is so embarrassing, they’re probably judging me” as soon as i open my mouth. why do i fear expressing myself? i want to talk about myself and share my interests but every time i try, it’s like there’s a rock stuck in my throat. so i just sit there and listen. i’m anxious around my friends, i’m anxious around my family, i’m anxious around everyone. it’s so miserable living like this, most of the time i don’t even feel like i’m truly “living.” i’d rather die than live another day feeling like this how do i make it stop

Since I got diagnosed with this by my therapist, I’ve been trying to find out more about it. It’s also nice to know I’m not alone
Hi, i’m AJ, i got diagnosed when i was 5! i’m 12 now, in the seventh grade, i’m going through a hard time right now. this video was very helpful for my friends
I really hope you're better now
You go, girl!
I spent so many years minimizing my symptoms that when I was told the episodes I was having were called panic attacks and when my doctor told me I had an anxiety disorder, I felt like crying but at the same time I'm still in denial...like I don't know who you're talking about but it's certainly not me. I'm still struggling to accept that I have a problem but I do know that I want more for myself than just going through the motion.
I got diagnosed with anxiety, and I SWEAR its horrible, I had to take anxiolytic, its nothing quirky or cool to have and i hate how people make it a trend
Hey will you help me? I need to talk :( i really need your help 😭😭 i need to say something important m
Having anxiety and depression at the same time is the worst 💔 ..
You're right
Try anxiety, depression and adhd… absolute hell honestly
My weakness was looking at people and they staring me back, when I walk with my friend,friends and there are group of boys and girls I just look straight with my head up like a queen, before I looked down or the left way and i mummled it was bad. And now I am very confident like a queen. Put your head straight dont look left or right and walk like a queen. Like ur celebrtity, thats why everyone looks at you.
Me watching this: Wait so your not supposed to feel like that
My brain: When and how have we ever done that

GAD is so weird. You could be relaxing and you suddenly feel a tennis ball in your throat and butterflies in your tummy. So you think "what's going on?" And you sit there trying to figure out what's caused the anxiety and then you feel anxious about feeling anxious. And your heart starts beating a little faster
I feel like my unwanted thoughts are forcing me to do things but I don’t got no one to talk to about this because I don’t trust nobody I know
I know someone who you can trust who holds all wisdom and loves you more then anyone his name is JESUS the GOD of Israel who died for are sin and on the third day he’ rose again I pray for you my friend in JESUS name
@@barneyohara7804 i thank u so much bro
I'd never heard of this and I'm going through a crazy time in life and I'm literally suffering from all of the mentioned symptoms
It can happen at all ages it took 30 years for me to get diagnosed but when I hit 35 it became really obviously. No alcohol with anxiety it disguises it then it makes it far worse. Have you been to the gp?
How do I find a job and keep a job. Plz pray for me if you see this.
Prayers
Sherrell James We’ll overcome this together, bless you
I prayed for you, but please pray for me.
Sherrell James my prayers are for you..
Lloyd Clement my prayers are for you too...you'll be fine ...
For anyone feeling down or as if the world has turned its back on you, please know that I might not know you or what you are going through, but I love you nonetheless. You are an amazing person and have the greatest gift the universe could provide, LIFE. I know, it is hard and sometimes it might seem easier to leave this place, but there is happiness out there if you look hard enough. It could take the shape of a man/woman, a endless grassy meadow filled with wild flowers, a Arizona sunset or a comfy couch with your favorite ice-cream and movie playing. There is something for everyone and yes, that includes YOU!
Everyone deserves happiness, regardless if you think you are worthy of it or not. I love you, you are loved, spread the love and live a life of love ;)
You are not alone with this! Please know that.
Anxiety is a real thing that gets the best of us stay strong 💪🏿
Got diagnosed with this today:( it’s terrible. I can be just sitting down watching tv when all of the sudden i start feeling warm and that’s when my mind takes control! “Im hot because my blood pressure is high my chest feels weird my left hand and arm feel numb and cold! Oh oh I’m going to die! My hands start throbbing my veins are bulging and in pain! The side of my head hurts! And honestly it continues like that until I’m walking back and fourth in my house without being able to breathe. This has happened to me 3 times in the last month just to end up in the ER just to be told im fine. I always had social anxiety but now this feels worst just the though of having a heart attack and dying isn’t fun.
Oh my God I feeling exactly the SAME. Recently I've got traumatic health problem , stomach problem, in 2020. Since this I can't don't think about my health all the time. I'm afraid of blood , organs and heart and unhealthy things. I don't have words to tell how this is scary to think all the time " what is my body is doing, I'm going to die if can't relax ". I'm actually thinking about that again then I'm writing this answer for you... Hope you have a better situation now and i feel so warm to see that I'm not alone to think about that again and again
Exactly same thing is happening with me since 1 year 😭😭😭
Same and i cant control it, I'm most passionate about my blood pressure because it's increasing and that's where I panic
Wow I been feeling the same as well
That happens to me too :( do you also have chest tightness when trying to take deep breathes ?
It's absolutely the worst. I feel like something bad, maybe even something tragic might happen in the near future and I can't shake that feeling. Its been persisting for years already and each day it gets worse and I talk to the people around me for it but it always comes back.
Check out healermanchris on Instagram he got DMT shrooms LDS it helps cure anxiety and depression he ships discreetly worldwide.
I just want to be happy again. Why do I feel like I'm loosing my mind? Why do I feel I cant control my mind?
I’m with you bro
