I have anxiety and to be very honest, this film gave me so much anxiety. And that's something very special when the film's about anxiety. As painful as it was to watch, it was beautiful, raw and brilliant.
Chelsea Jaaziel honestly same i could feel his anxiety which was just as uncomfortable as it was surreal
I'm glad im not the only one that felt the anxiety with him.
exactly. this was difficult to watch. i am still trying to. it is just as wonderful as it is difficult.
Same
Woah. This is the most realistic anxiety short film I have ever seen, coming from one who has anxiety
Ikr, my dad doesnt understand my anxiety and nor do my friends, they just think im being dramatic. So im goint to show them it
avery hood it is, it's crazy to see a visual of what an anxiety attack feels like. Beautifully made
avery hood This was great!
avery hood same ..
avery hood IKR that's exactly how I feel it
Anxiety makes you feel like your trapped and drowning were you can't breath and it feels like people are going to judge you I know how it feels I've experienced it alote I'm a shy girl with stress and anxiety and it's hard for me to live and communicate with people
Unicorn topia i can so relate you because exactly same as you said about you
Gladys Flores I feel like you can't share your anxiety experiences with anyone also because they'll just say your being over dramatic
I can relate
Very
I can feel you 😩
I am almost 16 years old and have suffered with anxiety since I was 5. I am always a bit hesitant to watch films made about anxiety because 9 times out of 10 they represent it in a totally unrealistic fashion. Mikey. You nailed it. Whenever I can tell an attack is coming on I tell myself to calm down! "It's ok-it's ok. You're fine!" I repeat over and over and over again in my mind. But as my heart rate grows faster and faster and my breaths grow tighter and tighter I realize I have lost the battle and my anxiety has won. I saw this represented in your film. Thank you for finally showing what it's actually like. Anxiety attacks can attack whenever and wherever and you showed that...so from the bottom of my heart..thank you.
Rachel Watkins I'm 16 and I've had it since I was 12 and I agree with you! This video is accurate for what it is like :P
Rachel Watkins I'm 17 and I've had anxiety since I was 3
im 16 and i've had anxiety since i was 9, and i completely agree, this was really realistic and very accurate
The "come on come on come on come on come on." Part really hit hard for me. People don't understand that it is a constant battle with myself in my head.
Daisy Seals this is exactly what I was thinking
me too!!
Daisy Seals omg I was going to say the same thing
Daisy Seals me too
Daisy Seals honestly same! im always repeating, "come on, breathe. just focus on calming down" in my head
the water scene is probably the best way to describe anxiety because you feel like you can't breathe, you're trying to escape but you can't, you panic and you just feel yourself drowning, being pushed down no matter how much you want to try and get out of the situation.
Mikey, this was amazing. Absolutely perfect. I've had anxiety my whole life, and I've never been able to explain what if feels like. Guess what you just did? You put my experiences into a short film. Now people can understand what I, and many others, feel when having an anxiety attack, and how a common activity in public can cause one. Thank you mikey. Such a job well done.
I can completely relate to this. :)
Ella Saddington (:
Katelyn B Relatable
you said it
Katelyn B know what girl JUST BE STRONG AND WANT SOME HELP I CAN HELP YOU IF YOU WANT
I am so happy the way he made this, you can tell that he really tried hard and that he really didnt make it look fun because living with anxiety is horrible and alot of people try to act like its cool to have and trendy whereas its really not. I would pay to see his masterpieces and works of art, he really is talented, What did we do to deserve this amazing man? We are so blessed to have him.
ImInLoveWithDanHowell i never knew people thought it was cool to have anxiety (i'm not being sarcastic)
ImInLoveWithDanHowell your username is so relatable
Roxy Gharibgard yep, almost all of my frienda and most of the people i know say its cool to have it and they are jealous of me
ImInLoveWithDanHowell wtf that is dumb. they don't know the feeling of it...
Roxy Gharibgard i fucking know right
Never seen something this acurate about describing how anxiety feels like.
Thank you for helping get a point across. Only one person has ever known what my anxiety felt like. It's always "you're overreacting", "you're doing it for attention" no. It's not me looking for attention. They don't understand. Thank you for putting it out there showing what anxiety can be like.
Erin Smith finally someone who understands.
Got so much respect for you, thank you so much for this. And thank you for not glamorizing anxiety, as someone who has generalized anxiety disorder I hate it when people try to make it seem trendy or such. So thank you. This is art.
Yeah, I watched this because of anxiety. The magic ad having anxiety is you feel like you're alone. When you're in the middle of a panic attack, or just feel so confined for an entire day. Nobody else is acting like you. I saw this, and it was raw. It was real. The drowning part was beautiful. Thank you
Last year I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and that drowning scene is very accurate. Having anxiety all the time is exhausting and it feels like you're stuck under water just drowning. This video meant a lot watching it as you accurately showed what having anxiety is like. Thank you Mikey.
Kayla Jobst I also suffer from Gad and social anxiety. Also I'm a huge worrier! I always feel like I'm up in the clouds and there is so much pressure on me. It's hard to explain how it feels but this film does it well.
Kayla Jobst yes and especially if they put you on medication (like I am) it always makes you super tired. It sucks because even the smallest things you keep replaying in your mind and you can stop and you do feel like you're drowning and it never ends which is the worst part 😒
if you have anxiety and feel that this is how you will be forever - listen up:
hi. i'm amber. i had generalized anxiety disoder. for 2 years. 2 years of constant. gut wrenching. anxiety.
i thought my whole life would be like this. i thought i would NEVER be rid of the horrible, unsettling, uncomfortable feeling in my chest. i thought i'd never be able to be late, or receive a phone call, without fearing for my life. i thought having sweaty hands and heart palpitations all day every day was just something i had to deal with. i thought having panic attacks in thr back room at work, and silently crying myself to sleep every. single. night; was going to be the norm, for the rest of my life.
but i was wrong.
hi. i'm amber. i get anxious before going to the dentist.
my heart beats fast and my hands get sweaty when i talk to the person i have a crush on.
sometimes i cry myself to sleep because life can be rough - but. there is hope.
i don't portray the symptoms of anxiety on a daily basis anymore. i am not depressed because anxiety rules my life any more. i am actually legitimately happy, for the first time in years.
it gets better guys. maybe not immediately. maybe not completely. but it will get better. one day you won't wake up and feel like you're not you. one day you'll wake up and you'll be able to say to yourself: 'i'm okay.' - and it will actually be true.
keep on keeping on guys. there is always hope.
advice on defeating anxiety: (I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL. but some of this advice is from my therapist) 1. don't settle for this: don't accept that this will be your life. fight against your anxiety. delete that blog on tumblr that you sit on for hours reblogging quotes/facts/relatable posts about suffering from anxiety. it's not going to help you at all. instead, start a blog with self help advice, cute cat pics, calming gifs, reassuring quotes. you'll help yourself and others. (i did all of this^ and it helped me so much. deleting the blog that was dedicated to the illness that made my life hell, was so, so, freeing.
2. get help. TELL. SOMEONE. ABOUT. HOW. YOU. ARE. FEELING. i CANNOT. STRESS. THIS. ENOUGH. tell your friend. tell your sister. tell your grandma or your dad or your teacher or your boss or your doctor or your youth group leader or the lady at the florist shop. tell someone. and if they push it aside. tell someone else. until someone helps you. you are NOT alone. (if you feel alone - message me on tumblr: kumara-griever)
3. do things that make you happy. anxiety and the depression that often comes with anxiety are crippling to your happiness - fight that. even if it's small - watching a video about kittens. growing succulents. reading a book. watching dan and phil on youtube. (that one works really well btw) make yourself happy at least once a day.
4. also do things that are scary, and hard, even if they're small things, like actually getting out of bed and going to the kitchen and washing all the dishes. (helping others makes you feel good) or talking to that person about the fandom shirt they're wearing. say yes to things that your anxiety makes you want to say no to. (but also make sure you take care of yourself, don't push yourself too hard.)
5. know that it won't always be easy. it won't always go well. you may be doing okay and then suddenly not be. that's okay. you are fighting a battle and you're doing so well. you will fall behind and you will make mistakes - that is okay. this is a battle but it's also a journey.
6. (disclaimer: i do not want to force my faith onto anyone, this is just my personal experience.) my anxiety really started to get better when i began to work on my relationship with Jesus. sending time w him, talking to him and listening to him. going to youth group and learning and growing. just sitting and listening to worship music, (elevation worship and curate are both great worship bands btw) they all helped me immensely. i encourage you to explore faith. i'm not at all saying that it is the only way to fight anxiety - not at all. but for me personally, when i focused on Jesus. my anxiety and depression lessened and lessened.
7. you will be okay.
Amber P. Yyy

I relate to this so much thankyou
ty so much for the encouraging words, i will keep going and trying to fight these chains that doesnt let me express the way i wish i could
OMG YOU USED MY VIDEO IDEA REQUEST!!!!!!
Kai Reese congrats
Well, is something to be proud of 😂
yayy
Omg
I've never seen a video that more accurately describes what it's like. This makes me feel like I'm not alone with my anxiety. The way you portray it is honestly just perfect. Thank you ❤️
Wow, i'm not going to lie I was a bit worried about watching this video because as someone who suffers from anxiety I didn't know what to expect when seeing how you interpreted anxiety but you guys interpreted everything so accurately! I am amazed. You're all so so talented.
He liked your comment : )
omg! this is so exciting! 😁 thank you for telling me!
Same for me.
okay, this video makes me anxious because I didn't realise how far I'd come with my anxiety and dealing with it. That should make me happy and calmer, but of course it's making me feel worried that i'll get there again. PS. Does anyone ever feel like their kind of frozen sometimes, because your just watching everything unfold and over thinking at the same time, even if it's just kids and adults sitting at tables... God, it's annoying
The Key of Ember i do. I also start crying and my face gets really red. This happened whenever i leave the house early in the morning or when I'm at school. I rush to the bathroom feeling like i have to puke, but i never do. Ik you don't care, but I needed to talk about it
this video made me really anxious, like my chest seized up and i started over thinking and breathing quickly.... didnt expect it to afftect me because these video dont usually :/
The Key of Ember yep
The Key of Ember HOLY SHIT YES I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! Sometimes I'll feel like everything is fake and feel like I'm separated from people and my surroundings. Idk how to explain it but I totally get what you're saying. It terrifies me and it fucking sucks
@@charlizel7920 thats called derilization i have that to
I loved this. I love how it was portrayed, you didn't romanticize it. You didn't make it beautiful or lovely (though the cinematography was stunning!) You didn't show a girl crying in her lovers arms. Or a guy getting nervous and then taking a deep breath and "getting over it". You showed true anxiety, which is neither pretty nor romantic and you did it in such a beautiful way. There was no belittling, it was simply anxiety and what it feels like to go through that. I applaud you for that! This was amazing.
Meg Carter amen
Meg Carter 😍❤
Meg Carter I like who the actor was. Too often anxiety is only represented only by teenage girls, so it was really great to see anxiety shown affecting guys too ( especially as he was made to look really tough, it was a nice was a nice way of combatting the stigma around mental illnesses 😀 )
I have really bad anxiety and that film was absolutely the most amazing thing ever. I've never seen someone make a video about anxiety and the fact that you made one it's just is amazing.
Ima be honest and say that this made me cry. It's just so relatable to me and everyone else who has anxiety. You can't control it. When he said that he only cares about the present and only the present it is so true. This is an amazing film it was so well done and it relates to everyone who has anxiety💖💖
I wanna be like mikey when I grow up
A creative genius wizard warlock :)

Kiera Bridget kieraaaaaa hi

KIERAAAAAA
I'm 14 years old and I also do dream of being a director. I love watching these types of videos. I've always wanted to be a director. As a younger kid I never understood the term director, I just thought it was fascinating how people made movies. As soon as I saw ur video, "A film about a film" I knew this was a passion. I eventually quit sports, bought a camera and filmed everything. I do live in Massachusetts so I'd always beg my mom to take me into Boston to film. I bought editing software and I work really hard to this day and study film, cinematography, and directing all the time. This is a true passion so I thank you for really for "introducing" this to me. Continue to work hard and wish you luck for your bright future ahead
Hey, I'm 16, and I live like an hour and a half away from Boston and also want to be a director haha.
Rhapsodic Bean I would love to! But it's just a 45 second film of Hawaii that's a little edited because unfortunately half of my videos went missing. I think I will post it though even though it's short :)
Emma Geissler honestly ive always wanted to be a actress or a undercover cop and im the same age as you
I'm 14 and want to be an actress but that's kind of hard considering I don't know where to "practice" acting 😭
No Comment maybe you can look into local community colleges to see if they offer classes to people or look into summer camps near you or look up acting classes near you. If that doesn't work maybe you can print scrips and practice them on your own :)
My anxiety started around 4th and 5th grade. Last week around 2 am I had a huge attack, I was in the corner trying to speak but I was barely whispering, I was shaking and my hands were covering my head, I was half way across the room is only one person saw, she went “ are you okay” while my other best friend asked what’s going on and saw me started calming me down, she came up to me and gave me a hug, calmed me right down, She kept telling me “it’s okay it’s okay” and stayed in her arms for 6 hours until we fell asleep, now that, is a good friend
You were born to make this kinda of art, it was amazing

Film production is such a beautiful process
Thank you so much for making this. I had an anxiety attack earlier today, and...I just want to say, your film is one of the few things I can relate to, or show somebody to explain what I'm feeling when I'm having these attacks.
Lately I've been really enjoying your take on filming the behind-the-scenes of film production. You give your own personal spin: you make it seem exciting, motivating, and yet also funny almost like bloopers in a way. Overall, I think that by placing yourself in a situation/environment within considerable limitations such as: time frame, film equipment, and props you allow yourself to be more creative and inventive. I honestly believe that this will prepare you extensively for your future endeavors in film-making and directing. Thank you once again for a film that does not seek to please everyone, but rather one that compels the viewer to perceive life in an entirely different perspective.
Nicholas Rodrigues couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you so much. ❤️
well said!
Mikey Murphy What camera and lens do you use to film your short films and what software do you use to edit?
Unbelievable work by all the guys involved here. Alex is a very expressive actor and not just a pretty face, Mikey's direction was spot-on and he achieved a very tight and thematically correct short film, the camerawork and effects was pure aesthetic (really beautiful in places - you made Alex look angelic in the light sequence) and the music score was just right - not in your face but there in the background adding flavour to the visuals.
Bravo!
thank you so much!
As someone who has GAD and SAD I was touched at how accurate this was
I have social anxiety for so long, but you Mikey is one of the reason why I don't give up, and you with your positive energy inspired me to make videos on my own and be more happy every day, Thank you :D
I got to make a short film on bullying and present it in front of a ninth grade class but I get anxiety attacks being in front of people
YMultiMarchbaby
Thanks, I'll try but it's even more stressful because I'm a senior and if I don't do this I'll fail the class and might not graduate 😞
Bruce Chavez Imagine everyone is their underwear.
Bacon Senpai trust me, nothing like that works with anxiety no matter how much someone reassures you of something fear will still be a HUGE factor
YMultiMarchbaby everyone is different. Something that could work for you might not work for another person
This is the shortest but truest representation of what it feels like I've seen so far. I was not even in the middle of it and started crying because of how close to home it hit. It made me feel so anxious watching it - which in this case means a good thing.
can i just mention the fact that Mikey and his friends are all super good looking damn aLSO THIS WAS AMAZING
In very sensitive about the topic of anxiety, usually because it is portrayed in such an unrealistic way that is romanticized. But I think you executed this amazingly and nailed it right on the head. I've never really watched any of your youtube videos but your last film that you made was great as well so good job. You are really talented.
Carrie - yeah. my friend thought she had anxiety because she was crying because she was stressed. yet i have generalized on the higher scale so i got offended. she thought it wasn't a big deal at all
This portrayed it exactly how I feel it, as I watched the video my heart started palpitating and I felt very short of breath, but it's good that this is so real. To help people understand
i think this would've been cooler if you put the film first or even had that behind the scenes stuff as a separate video. but it was still beautiful!
i was thinking about that, but I wanted to put it all together
allison claire i thought about that too, but this way its so raw and beautiful putting everything at once in my pov ❤
Mikey Murphy Maybe it would be better if the title was like 'a short film on ____ and the makings' or something so people knew. Loved it a lot though! Super (scarily) realistic!
As a person with anxiety I really appreciate you making this it made me feel like I'm not the only one❤️
I am just so in love with this video, this concept, it's beautiful and took my breath away. it truly put the way an anxiety/panic attack feels like and made is visual. I love it so much. I really appreciate seeing you create a film on a topic like this, I can't wait to see what you do next.
mikey is the most underrated youtuber. 1M isn't enough for him
ClaraFy and also kickthepj, check him out if you want to. he also makes films and stuff.
I can't believe how accurate the anxiety attack was like I have anxiety and it sucks and how it was presented in this short film made me realise that it's actually real like I'm not the only one who feels this way. I either feel like I'm drowning or the walls are closing in on me and im so amazed how well the actor portrayed it and I'm just mesmerised since it relates to me so much I don't understand how someone could make such an accurate representation of my own anxiety. I love you Mikey thank you so so much for creating this piece of art
Love that you're posting about something that ppl understand. Finally someone talking about something none else wants to.
this is one of the best short films I've seen. This goes to the good little details and point of those that have anxiety.
It was amazing! I do wish they would've put it separate, though. Great work!
haven't even watched it yet and i'm sure it's gonna be amazing.
i was right, great job Mikey.
basically just a phan your pic and username gives me life
i watched this when it came out and almost exactly a year later i lost my grandmother. in response to that and the stress of school i already had, i got the worst anxiety of my life. i haven’t fully recovered but i’ve gained a lot of progress. however i came back to watch this for inspiration for a short ill be writing and realized how spot on it is. things are fine and then it’s this feeling that is so perfectly described by the flashes of him and the colorful projector. you want so badly for it to stop but there’s nothing you can do. ugh i love this. mikey is so incredibly talented
also donald turner is amazing
I love your short films! You put so much effort into them
❤️
3:43 is when it starts.
thank u
laurenflare no,sorry, I really want to see his face in the 3 extra minutes😂😂😍
Check out dope music videos on my page.I suffer from anxiety in real life
laurenflare thanks
laurenflare thanks!!
This was the first time watching any of your videos, and at first I didn't know what to expect. So many people treat anxiety and depression as a joke, I wasn't sure whether or not this would follow the stereotype as well. But, I genuinely love how the end product came to be, and it reflects what I go through almost perfectly.
Fantastic work 👏👏👏
I've never been able to explain to my friends what my anxiety feels like. I just showed them this video. Thank you Mike 💙
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE.
I am absolutely in love with these short concept films and as a director to be, it's very inspiring and interesting to see all the different techniques put into this project.
This was so real. Everything about the short film was spot on. I actually have an anxiety disorder, and it hit really close to home with me and made me realize that people can actually understand what it's like. It kind of gave me anxiety while watching it, but that just goes to show how pure it truly is.
This was nothing short of amazing 😉.
thank you!! :)
Tiffany Stewart haven't even watched the video yet,but i liked because all of Mikey's videos are amazing
Accurate. Extremely accurate.
Especially when he's telling himself to calm down and not freak out... story of my life lol
Hey, I'm Kira. I have *really* bad anxiety. So last week we went on our family reunion in Washington. On Saturday night I was in the room with my sister and cousin just chilling. My auy calls and tells me to come up to the room where all of the family is. I was already starting to get nervous and anxious. So I took our room key and went. When I got down there everybody's eyes were on me. I went slow and sat down. My aunt was a little drunk but so was everyone. She was pushing me and pushing me to get up in front of everyone to dance. By. My. Self. I ran to the room and I almost threw up. That was the worst night in my life. But it gets better. Trust me
Stay strong.
I hope you're doing better now
Aced Coffee 🥺🥺 this comment made me tear up wow,,i still get very anxious but i know how to cope with it now and i’m finding myself,,thank you so much 💗!
@@kiiidollasign I'm so proud of you!!! I can imagine how it feels like cuz I get anxiety attacks pretty often too. There's no point in trying to stop them however learning how to manage stress and deal with attacks is the key. I am quite good at coping with it now and it's so cool you're too. All the best! You're not alone. ❤️
I wrote a short story... thingy and wanted to share it with you.
May 6th, 2017
I live in one of the smallest towns in one of the biggest states. I’m where things don’t happen, or rather they’re too ‘controversial’ to talk about. I’m where girls as young as seven think their only self value comes from their body’s, where kids are having sex, drinking, and smoking at ages way younger than legal, and where suicide is almost as good as our next high. We are among the bottomless trashcans of all states, cities, and towns, buried so deep in garbage we’re hidden from sight. I’m where we tell everyone what they want to hear, then take it back as soon as their backs are turned, and where people live and thrive on lies. I guess consuming all that dirty, polluted air tarnished our brains as well.
ps. this video was amazing, considering you took on such an important, controversial topic. Love ya Mikey.
? thank you
H
? I loved it
las vegas?
That was great, this helped me think of my next short film, I'll be sure to credit you
Mikey, this was unreal. Incredible man incredible. Even the way this was all edited to show the process, so so good. Good work 👏🏼
Sam Carr thanks buddy 👊🏻
I always tend to revisit this video when I’m feeling low: it’s a major comfort video. This short film is the reason I got into the alchemist and got “life will be a party for you, a grand festival” tattooed
Mikey my little director you did incredible I've never loved anything so much and I have a golden retriever!
and that, ladies and gentlemen is how to do low-budget short films
Ummmm. WOW.
so proud! looks good. That's incredible!!!! AMAZING!!! Great directing, acting... it was all so beautiful...
Hi Mikey. I'm twelve, and I have Anxiety and Depression Disorder. It's really hard but watching this touched me, to the heart. I have always loved your videos, but this hit me there. For someone that is mature for their age, I could relate to this, so *thank you.*
5 STAR BURGER Hi, stranger on the internet. When I was your age (wow that makes me feel old haha I'm only seventeen), I was in the same spot as you. My depression and my anxiety were always swirling around me and I, too, feel like I matured at a young age. But, I want you to never look at your disorders as setbacks. I still struggle with fully realizing this myself, but I also feel the need and want to share this with you. Dealing with these problems and enduring them helped me as a person and helped the people around me. I consider myself a better helping hand to my friends and find comfort in that alone. I've grown mentally and matured even more and can confidently say that I am not ashamed of the disorders I have. I'm not saying that you are, but seeing your comment made me think back to being 12 and feeling so burdened and hopeless. I just thought of the reassurance I would give my younger self that the parts of me that I hated so much made me who I am today and helped me, as well as continue to help me, grow as a person. I wish you the best of luck in life! Have a nice day.
Jaylah Johnson thank you. Really. But I've always wondered...why do I always put the blame on myself in account to problems that I don't have anything to do with? I end up with this mentality that I am the reason for people's sadness or anger, and I end up hating myself. Yes, I'm fully aware that it's not my fault but somehow my brain convinces me that I'm a terrible person.
Wow. I just started watching your videos today because I couldn't fall asleep due to my ever present anxiety and frequent panic attacks. This spoke to me on another level. I recently just had to quit my job that I've had and loved for two years because of anxiety, panic/anxiety attacks, and now more recently, depression. I've watched a lot of people talk about what it's like but I've never seen it so perfectly made into video form. This. This is what I'm constantly battling. I really appreciate the effort and time put into this video. Thank you so much.
BITCH THATS ART
😂😂
rana jerjawi bitch that really art 😂
Honestly I really respect you for doing something different and still meaningful. I know this is your dream, and that makes me really proud of you for having the courage to do what you really love doing unlike me until like a month ago. All the the love and respect from the other side of earth. PS you are literally so damn cute.
thank you so very very much for making this. not only is this film beautifully directed and written but it brilliantly portrays anxiety. coming from someone living with severe anxiety, this film helps bring to light the daily struggle of doing every-day things. im constantly told to get over it, and that my anxiety isn't a big deal, but this really made me feel like im not just overreacting, what I'm feeling is real.
Damn, my friend has major anxiety, and I have always wondered how she feels about it. Thanks mikey
of course, that was the goal.
Natalie Pringle same tbh just that it isnt my friend but my boyfriend.. thanks mikey :) its good to see and kind of experience it for once
NATAIE ELLOO
I have anxiety every morning trying to get to school on time... no matter how early I leave the house
...
Also, THE FILM WAS BEAUTIFULLY SHOT & EDITED
watching the film honestly made my chest tighten and my breath grow gradually harder to control... liking what you guys do, no matter how painful it is to watch at points...
Anxiety really is terrifying to deal with.
I really enjoyed this film it was amazing! I have anxiety and i know exactly how it feels and its not fun. Its horrible and can take up your whole life. You definitely captured the essence of living with anxiety and how it feels like inside. This was art and beautifully done!! I cant wait to watch more and love seeing how passionate you are about it all and how you genuinely love what you're doing. Thank you. I really hope you do a series, like on other mental illnesses like depression,bipolar,ADHD. Keep doing what youre doing cause its amazing,beautiful and meaningful and thats very important. I love how i felt motivated as well after watching this too cause i love when i see ppl so happy and passionate about doing the things you love. In conclusion before I blabber off, this was so creative and i loved it!! Hope you see this :)
WHY ARE U AND ALL UR FRIENDS SO FLIPPING HOT
Olivia Rankin lol
Olivia Rankin ikr! I can't comprehend
Olivia Rankin IKKKRRRRRE??????
THANK YOU for shining light on anxiety and making it more well known. Thank you for showing people what it really is and it's not just something that somebody can say "just push it out of your mind" and BAM cured. Anxiety, a lot of the time, can't be controlled. Thank you.
god damn you are something else. honestly going to need more of this. this was so good Mikey!!
This is a very good depiction of what an anxiety attack is like. I especially relate to when he was under water; that is what an attack feels like for me. Like others have probably said, I'm glad this is not glamorized, it's realistic.
Also, Alex having coffee stood out to me because drinking coffee can set off an attack for me. Most likely this was not the intention of the coffee, but it made the film that much more relatable to me. Thank you for creating this!
Someone who suffers from anxiety I was a little skeptical at first about four guys who wrote, directed, composed, and filmed such a complex disorder within a very short time but I am very impressed! Not only by the accuracy but just how the message came across and the beautiful images! Thanks for this. You've gotten yourself a new loyal subscriber!
You should creat a short film about the anxiety of existing. just an idea 💝 I'd love to see it

DO NOT STOP MAKING ART MIKEY OH MY GOD I AM LIVING FOR THIS
such raw and imaginative creativity portrayed in just a few minutes. from someone who doesn't have anxiety, this gives me a glimpse of what it's like. this short film is truly amazing.

that was perfect! it totally describes an anxiety attack, as someone who has been having them for a few years now
This is so real. As someone who struggles with crippling anxiety I relate to this. This video has provided a way for me to explain to people what it is like to have anxiety.
All RUclips should be is Mikey Murphy content
Make. More. Short. Films. YESSSS! This was amazing to see the process of getting the shots and the score and the directing. Definitely make more videos like this!! Sharing the heck out of this video!!
Panic attacks come quite often for me, 1 to 2 every week, and it’s something I don’t want to live with. This film drew how it feels, the not breathing, the panicking, the voice in your head telling you to calm down, the fast heart rate. thank you for doing it, it’s nice to inform people on what people struggle with on a day to day basis
You should be nominated for Streamy Breakout Creator of the Year
meggrayl I was and I lost
Mikey Murphy But 2017 is a new year! You deserve a Streamy. At least one in any category. I recently started watching your videos and you are easily one of my favorite creators.
And look how far you've come already this year. This film is incredible. You've got big things ahead, Mikey.
What inspired you to do that? it was amazing, congratulations ❤
my own anxiety, honestly haha
this video was literally one of the most inspiring things i have ever watched. i struggle really bad with Anxiety Disorder and i see a therapist. for a while i didn’t want to do anything bc i thought i was alone and no one would understand. this video really helped me
notice that there are other people who i can talk to about it. thank you michael💓
How is it possible to create something so thoughtful and AMAZING in such a short amount of time 😮😮💙💙
god this is beautiful. i can't explain my anxiety to people, but this will help me. i'm gonna show this to my friends and i hope that they understand how i feel.
thank you mikey 💛
Donald is cute like really really cute but not as cute as you Mikey
I love you Mikey❤❤
Hey Mike! I really like the stuff you have been making recently, I love the sounds and visuals in this video and I am so happy you have decided to take on this journey of filmmaking! I would like to just give you a tiny advice. I think you should first show the short film and then all the production and behind the scenes. That way we can watch the short film first and then we can see how each scene was done and also this way we do not get spoiled on any scene or visual by watching the behind the scenes before. But yeah, keep doing your thing and I am excited to see what you have coming next! Lots of love from Mexico.
everything about this is just so artistic, and eye catching, and accurate. you could probably make a short film about nothing and id watch it just because of how fresh, and clean it is. you deserve an award or something!
IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS!! You're all so so talented ❤️
Hey Mikey, Just a thought as a viewer, I think I would've enjoyed the entirety of the video even more if you put the out takes/behind the scenes at the end of your video. Nice short film though keep it up. 👍🏼
totally!!
For me, I suffer with anxiety on a daily basis. And watching this, I connected with it so much. Weird to say but in a way it helped. You combined two things I relate- filming, and anxiety lol. Thank you mikey. Thank you for making me want to strive for my dreams. this helped me and all I can say is thank you. When you make films, it makes me happy. No matter the topic
Film starts at 3:45 if only here for the movie, not the making!
Carrot thank you!
I'm amazed, it's so good !
In such a short time you managed to do such a good quality film !
Amazing
As someone who suffers from anxiety I have this overwhelming feeling that I am not alone. I'm not the only one who feels this way, and thats crazy. Im amazed, truly amazed. Also crying.
Anxiety is bad enought but then someone decides that they need to spice it up and throw in some depression.
To all those with anxiety + depression: WHERE YOU AT SIS!😂
Also, depression buddies? Anyone?
Gabby Bole 👋👋 I call myself a triple threat (anxiety + depression + adhd)
