I wonder how people who don't have anxiety feel
Hailey-loves-phan I can't even begin to imagine how good it would feel to not be anxious
I have anxiety for 4 months now, and there were days when I felt little to no anxiety, and not a single symptom it great, but at the same time I keep thinking am I dreaming.
so now when I don't have any anxiety or symptoms, it worries me, like I can't live with anxiety, and I can't live with anxiety.
Johnny Q
I know exactly how you feel
I stopped to remember, I have had depression and anxiety since I was 7. They feel most likely just okay, I guess.
probably depressed; : /
it would be cool to go for a week just a week with no anxiety, paranoia, exhaustion. I want to know what it feels like to relax and have pure fun.
!UPDATE!

I’ve been on Zoloft for almost 2 years and it’s helped for the best! I still have anxiety but it doesn’t control my every waking moment. I can let lose. I discovered I’m kind of a bitch when messed with. My 14 yo self would be so impressed. Therapy has helped immensely. That combo has seriously changed my life. I got super lucky but I want anyone reading this to know it’s ok if you need help with this. It’s OK if you wanna hold off on pills or expensive therapy. There are ALWAYS options. Anxiety just blocks those other paths. Be open to change.
Me too
😢me too.
That would be a blessing
Up until 2 months ago I was anxiety free. And now I deal with it every single day. And its tough.
Xanax helps with that 100%
I definitely have social anxiety I always feel constantly judged and mocked and looked down upon.
I always feel like that... my only friend just moved away so I kind of hide in a corner all curled up at my school...
+Pyromaniak I know exactly what that is like. It can be tough to have confidence when it's being poked and prodded at by your own mind almost everyday. I did 10 weeks of Cbt and it helped quite a bit so i recommend it, however my 12 years of social anxiety will take more than 10 weeks to get over of course. The funny/not funny thing is beforehand i actually had inflated confidence.
You should really seek help It will get better and you shouldn't let it define your life or control it
yea i am thanks
same except for the mocked part. it gets so fustrating like why can't I be "normal"
Why is the comment section more comforting than the people in real life? We’re so in this together.
less social interaction lmao
True.....because all of us have so many things in common,not just the anxiety.....and there's always a sense of understanding because we know exactly how we feel.
I wish you were my psychlogist. I would feel very comfortable talking to you.
TheMakeUpForever024 I wish I had a psychologist
Same
sksksksksk skskskksksksks *I wish I could afford one.
Same
Same
I find I fall under some of these categories but I don't want to tell/talk to anyone because I'm afraid people will think I'm seeking attention
I hope you find courage to discuss any mental health issues you struggle with. The community is working towards making mental health a less "taboo" subject to bring up in conversation.
same
Think of it this way, whats more important to you. To speak to someone and feel better about yourself, or someone elses opinion. besides no mature adult with half a brain would think that, they would probably think'it's good she is doing something to help herself'. good luck
Don’t suffer in silence. If you or anyone you know need help, just reach out.
I’ve been diagnosed with GAD, SAD, PTSD, and PDD. I can’t even imagine what just waking up, breathing deep and saying “Good Morning, World!” would be like. Just waking up is a reason to be depressed.
I get this feeling in my stomach in waves, it's like when you're on roller coaster when it's about to go straight down from the top. I'd rather be nauseous then feelings of anxiety
yo sameee
Same
I get those stomach feelings too. Or my stomach feels either soo full (almost like I can throw up), or it feels very empty and I feel almost weak. Anyone else?
I Don't even know where to start I just know I have mental issues. I don't know what exactly it is.
Going to therapy may help you understand them better
Can you describe what you feel that leads you to believe you struggle with a mental issue? Do you have depression?
me too
See a therapist and try to describe it.
Explain to me, what if you CAN'T describe it because you get too anxious while trying to explain it?
This is my problem. I don't get anywhere with my therapist. I feel like i need to write it on paper because i can't concentrate or say a word when i meet him, and im nervous as fuck because of it, that i will not be able to explain things, and sit there like a ghost looking at the wall...
does anyone else get anxiety because of time? I'm having my year end exams this week and since a few weeks ago when I started studying I had to take off my watch because it constantly reminds me of the time and I just go like. "Wait why has 2 hours passed? I haven't even done any work. I hate myself." I 'll start breathing harder and get panicky of angry and just lie on the bed crying/feeling like crying. I'm also very irritable recently yet I know I shouldn't yell at anyone so I bottle it all up inside. And I don't trust counsellors. Is this anxiety?
Yup
+Doughnut 2802 I'm doing the same thing, the anxiety wont leave me alone.
That is me!
+Doughnut 2802 That and the fact that due to the anxiety, my concentration is lessened, my ability to remember is impeded and the like...One way to deal with this is to write down stuff as I study...While my mind may be all over the place, the fact that I am writing it down does assist me and later, when I actually take tests, I am amazed as to how much I have actually retained. A lot of it does have to do with calming down, and going over the thought process over and over to understand what the root or roots of the problem are.
same here bud
I'm getting help now for my anxiety 😄😄😄😄😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'm SOOOO!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!! I go on Thursday YAY!!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄👏👏👏👏👏
Best wishes :)
How are you doing? Hope therapy is helping:)
4 years later, but i hope you’re doing great now!!!! so happy for you
Omg I'm so proud of you lol😂 like 4 real get it Hunty! Thats a huge step and I feel like a proud mom lol
why are you spamming emojis
I read a thing that said "emotions are reactions to our thoughts." And it helped me realize that anxious feelings come from anxious thoughts. It helped me break the instant connection of thinking anxious to feeling anxious. Now I have more distance between my thoughts and feelings.
that is a good perspective on this
I started crying while watching this I guess just hearing about how everything she said was true made me sad because anxiety is really hard to deal with. :/
Yes true. I have anxiety disorder too. But we need to control it. And we are strong enough. Remember this❤️
I never heard a description of agoraphobia before, but I think I really relate. I always insist on driving myself and going places alone, so I'll be in control of when I leave. I always prefer the aisle seat in a theater. I get super-anxious when I'm going someplace with other people, especially if I don't know the end time. Knowing the end time of the event, (and trusting that it will be honored) makes a big difference, but I'd still prefer to drive myself. I always thought of this as social anxiety, but it kinda sounds like agoraphobia now.
I can totally relate I thought I just had regular anxiety but I to think I have agoraphobia which makes me ridiculously anxious!
I’ve had anxiety since I was 8...I would go through periods of such high anxiety I would get angry, or I would make myself so nauseous I couldn’t eat. Medication has helped the constant worry so I can eat and function, but therapy helps me to focus on what I failed to pursue or avoided because of anxiety. Stay strong to those of you with anxiety. Don’t be afraid to talk about how you feel to family, friends, or a therapist.
I get this everyday at work. Which sucks having to work in retail and customers. I feel I am not good at my work and my job and that I am constantly being watched and that everyone is crtiticsing me.
I have been diagnosed with complex PTSD. I have anxiety almost every day, I also get panic attacks from time to time. For a long time I have been struggling with depression, but after seeing a therapist specialized in trauma I realized the depression came from not understanding what was going on with me and wondering why it wouldn't stop. I am still in therapy, and going there was the best thing I have ever done. Much love
my midlevel anxiety manifests itself by me crying. In public I pretend I have allergies.
You're not alone
Me too, I cry about every other day for at least a few seconds. agh.
meeeeee
amazing videos. I am a medical student and these are helpful for my psychiatry revision. You must be an AMAZING therapist!! Thank you for these videos x
I dunno why i started crying when i was watching this
Adia Rafio I think it's normal is you can relate to the symptoms she is talking about. It can be a relief to know that someone acknowledges your pain and you aren't making it up. At least that's how I felt :)
i guess , thank you so much DanaBeaton
@@DanaBeaton when I first started to watch these videos I cried a lot
adia wtf SAME
adia me neither. I did to:(
I worry so much I start to worry about how much I worry. It makes it hard to get through a day.
Same ❤
Thanks for this, Kati! I have an anxiety disorder and have also suffered from depression. Even though I know there are millions of people who suffer from these things, it helps to watch these videos and have that reminder. xxo
My main problem is the physical symptoms, like lately I can't feel my legs and its causing me to panic and not want to leave my bed /:
the description for panic attacks is very accurate, the feeling of drowning/dying during attacks is very distressing and i don't think many people who haven't experienced this can comprehend how real those feelings seem at the time.
your videos are really helpful, keep up the good work ;D
It kinda feels like we always living in this bubble with a dark cloud over our heads
Oh wow. YOu just described my whole life
thank you for helping me to understand me a little better. looking forward to watching some more of your videos, thank you Kati xx
I actually start a therapy next week for my anxiety and after watching your videos I feel so upbeat, it's crazy! I was extremely scared of the therapy process but atm I feel like I can't wait to go there to get help and make my life better and easier. I need to watch all of your videos properly, thank you for what you do!
For some reason watching now your videos calm me down... Whenever I feel nervous or stressed or lonely I watch a video and feel better
I think I might have social anxiety but I am so scared of going to the doctor or see someone about it!
Seungkwan’s Wife same! When people show up At my door I freak out and my heart starts beating fast and last time a pizza guy came to the door and it caught me by surprise because I thought my mom was going to go get it and I tried to find her and she was outside the whole time and when I finally found her I started crying and she kind of laughed and asked if I was ok and I said I was fine but for some reason this happens a lot all my emotions are just so confusing
Sydney Davis
Omg I totally get how that feels 👏🏼
My mom has dealt with depression ever since i was a little girl i always helped her when she would get really sad and stressed now that I'm 19 I've been noticing that ive been getting really anxious and it's hard for me to relax i over think everything I constantly feel worried about something and its gotten to the point to where it's hard for me to smile my face is always blank idk what's happening to me
Maybe you feel like you're starting to understand some of the things she worries about a little better? As a kid you just know she's upset and you don't like to see her like that. Or you know it's about money but dont understand how serious it was at the time. Getting older is scary but it's great to know people who have some sort of idea on how to adult :D
You overwhelmed me I'm going to get help a lot of things you say make sense and fits thanks Kati Morton for caring .....
You are a Blessing...Thank you for all the work you do to help people!!! God Bless You...
Thank you for clarifying more than most RUclips videos .
she is so warm
I’ve had severe anxiety for most of life it’s definitely no fun,for the longest time I couldn’t keep a job or friendships until I got help it took me a while to really get help but when you get help it changes your life .Please don’t ever give up be strong and get the help you need please your life will improve so much
At the age of 17, my social anxiety leads to depression n then bipolar2, I'm still on psychotic medicine.
I suffer a lot in the initial phase,
but now I m fine but have to be very precious not to engage in any kind of stressful situations.
For a psychological disorder person,
their psychologist is an angel.
God bless you all whoever suffering from any kind of psychological disorder.
I know this was 6 years ago but dude when you explained how a “normal” person worries about something it blew my mind. I thought everyone worried about things excessively. There are people out there that can just say “oh goodness there’s a problem, I have the solution. I’m good now” WHAT?
i always anxiaty about the future, my dream, and the next life? i never really feel happy and life in the present. is it anxiaty dosorder?
Clinical Depression
Chickchick 1234 yes same here
I always fear about my future because of my past mistakes 😔
Hey Katie, I just wanted to say that I think you're incredibly inspirational and you're videos truly help me to be self harm-free. Thank you so much for always keeping up with these videos and doing all that you do!
Thanks Katie for all your
FREE help I hope people realize the effort energy and sacrifice you're making to help strangers you don't even know, or will ever meet. THANK YOU!
During piano class I had to play out loud for a final and I started shaking and afterwards my piano teacher said that it looks like I might have anxiety do you think I might too. (I could feel the shaking in my back arms and legs so basically my whole body). The teacher also said that my problems playing out loud aren't musical because I already play in the band, I just can't play out loud by myself.
Sam Henders im like that too
Can you please please do a video of generalized anxiety by itself? I was diagnosed with it and it is ruining my life. I love how you explain things and I would love to understand it more. I just don't want to be anxious all the time.
I also have gad I'm ALWAYS anxious message me
Thank you so much for doing this video, this really helped me learn some more about myself and my anxiety, and being educated sometimes really helps make the struggle easier.
I love your Chanel! You seem to talk about disorders and mental illness so respectfully also you know what your talking about, thank you
i feel like entire world watching and hated me
i even never go out from home its feel like wild seeing crowd
i dont trust anybody no friends just alone and its comfortable for me
Has anyone ever thought that everyone was judging them
Adan Rivers um yes I was just telling my friend the other day this
@@MsTinanator is gad if I'm eating and I seriously not thinking alot but I just get feelings of worried and I feel sick to my stomach? Is that gad, i get it all the time, for no reason it just comes and idk what to do, it's getting to the point im tired and I'm wodering why do i even feel thst way, i feel like it could be my fault too but idk
Thank you for this info. Breathe work and yoga helps me manage my major depressive disorder.
Thank you Kati! This video is what I have been waiting for. I sent this to my mom to watch. I think it will help her understand. You have a beautiful way of explaining things that is very easy to comprehend. Thank you! Xoxo
I will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on him Jesus said and that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God
Could you update this video to reflect DSM-5 criteria?
You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
THANKYOU very much... Beside helping us, you are so sweet and fanny 👍
holy fuck social phobia is me everything she said summarised my feelings
I get serious anxiety sometimes. I think it makes me come across as mean because I will not look or ignore people completely because I feel awkward. Other times I feel like I can control it and it doesn't bother me. My anxiety changes in some situations (if I have a 'role' or responsibility) and if I have someone I know. I don't feel like I have much anxiety or any in those instances. When I'm alone is when I start to feel anxious. Is it considered social anxiety if it doesn't affect me all the time but has affected my life from time to time?
This was really helpful, thank you so much! You're amazing!
God bless you for uploading your amazing videos which help so many people struggling with mental health issues including myself.
I think I have social anxiety and panic disorder! Let's just say that I have no friends/ relationship because of this! My parents are not too happy about therapy and they think I am just normal, just getting through my teen years, but it is just too much for me!
omg I'm actually not alone I feel the same
Mihai Michitiuc omg I have the same problem as you my parents don't believe me, also I have dyelsixa and it was really hard in school and they didn't believe or think to much and I struggled so much in school.
Mihai Michitiuc me too!
Hi I recently left work due to anxiety. I have had it for 12 years ( not consistently) I think we all wish there was a tablet to take to cure this evil illness can make u seem so helpless. I would love to know your opinion on what course anxiety, I have heard so many different theories. Is it a serotonin imbalencment? Do we create more adrenalin? Are we just weaker minded? Is it heridatory
I was diagnosed with panic disorder my sophomore year of college. When someone first suggested I had a mental health condition I didn’t believe them because my attacks were so physical. I thought they were missing something. I was a healthy/active 20 year old with no health issues and I ended up being on a heart monitor for a month just to make sure nothing was wrong. I love that you touched on seeing a regular practice doctor to make sure everything is okay physically because it actually made me more accepting of my final diagnosis being proven that I was okay physically. Also I had an “omg yes” moment when you said some of your clients say they feel like they’re drowning. I’d never been able to put it into words before but that’s EXACTLY what it feels like. Luckily I haven’t had a super physical attack since I was put on a low dose of lexapro, but I still do get them from time to time as emotional/uncontrollable crying episodes. After all this rambling, I’d be very interested to see you cover panic disorder more in depth because I never really understood how it could come on all of a sudden with no triggers! I came from Shane’s videos with you but I’m so happy to have found you! Your content is great and so helpful!! 😊
I recently learned that my hypothyroidism levels were too high and that was making my anxiety worse. So very good idea to check with your PCP for physical issues.
... aaaaand the only thing I took away from that was the heart valve issue that was mentioned 😯
lol anxiety brain and access to google; guess what I'll be doing today.
fml.
hi im amy and im 14 years and 9 months old i have autism and anxiety i think ive had since year 6 or year 7 but i found out this year that i had it i hate going in public i think people are thinking bad things about me
I have GAD, with panic attacks. Thank you so much for educating us more as always !!
Thanks so much for your help in braking complex disorders down and spreading awareness!!!! Much appreciated and very helpful!!!!!❤️ Music helps me!!!🎼🎼
My anxiety fucked up my stomach... I went from 100 to 75 mg of sertraline and started getting overwehlming nauseas and muscular contractions in the stomach areas as soon as I wasnt at home, and still to this day I cant drink of smoke of drink anything fizzly... Anxiety physical symptoms suck
sertraline is horrible. i used to take it and it made my anxiety worse .
i got off meds (on my own despite of what my psychiatrist thought was best for me)
and started meditating and it has helped me more than any therapist and psychiatrist has ever have. yes i still have anxiety but its not nearly as bad n i dont let ir control me. i havent had a panic attack in years. i definition recommend you meditating.
Marzz Glxy
idk^^
Does generalized anxiety disorder disappear? or the only thing to do is learn how to control yourself.
Thanks Kati!! Been fighting this all my life not knowing what was up... Thanks for the breakdown, looking forward for more...🙃
I was really excited when starting to watch your 1st video on BPD ,and while each one I've seen are pretty great and it's great to know someone is out there helping us understand I again feel so frustrated ,depressed and anxious. It's like there's just too much my mind is having a meltdown . I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for over 15 years , it's now at a crippling point,my anxiety I mean where I cannot function outside my home , and am going thru hell while in my comfort zone,i'm afraid i'm even losing that. I want a diagnosis but I have so many symtoms from so many different disorders they say its hard to diagnose me. now the Dr's are cutting my medication , when I need it so bad its horrible . idk what I'm trying to say . I'm falling rapidly
so I've had anxiety and social anxiety for a long time now, but I haven't been diagnosed by a doctor. I can't really, because my mom thinks that I'm overreacting about how I feel and she tells me that I need to calm down and quit being dramatic. so I can't get help, what do I do?
***** I have.
Lexi Grace try and take yoga it sounds silly but it works.
I just told my mother daily that I think that I am going to kill myself in less than a year and that I really really need professional help. It worked after 2 month. Also I described my feelings.
you go to yearly checkups right? say something to your doctor. i did and they sent me to therapy for free for diagnosis. i’m sorry you’re being treated like that💞
Now that the Corana virus is around I'm worried aff😷😪💀
Thank you for an informative video about anxiety. You capture the experience pretty well from an outside or clinical perspective and I hope it will be helpful to people suffering with it.
This is really interesting - I had CBT for generalised anxiety disorder, but I feel like I may have had overlapping social anxiety and agoraphobia from what you have described! The CBT worked great, I went from not wanting to leave the house and almost didn't go to my own graduation to moving to another part of the country to follow my dream education/career! I'm so grateful to my therapist!
I developed agoraphobia over the years because of my anxiety. Woo! :)
I struggled with agoraphobia in elementary and middle school. It was very destructive. Has your agoraphobia symptoms decreased over the years?
And umm you are beautiful so there is that.
Thank you! I hope you have a great weekend.
Could you do a video on aspergers and autism I have autism anxiety and other issues
Agree 100% Yes please! Me too I struggle with self regulate and get over stimulated and don't know how to calm the anxiety
Thank you so much! I was just about to look through your videos for an anxiety one and this popped up! :)
This was super helpful. Thanks for the clarification.
Kati,
I have dysthymia and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm really scared to talk to people on the phone, but I know I'm gonna have to do it, but it still makes me feel really nervous when I do. Any advice?
I get this also ur not the only one x
I can relate. Talking to people on the phone is one of my biggest fears, and it causes me so much anxiety and triggers panic attacks. When I really need to call somewhere important, I just think to myself "what's the worst that could happen over the phone?" also, after you make the phone call, you feel really proud and accomplished! I know its really hard, and I try to avoid it as much as I can, but when you actually take that step and make the call, its usually not as bad as our anxiety made us feel it would be!
talking on the phone used to be a big fear of mine. I now work in a call center making outbound calls. you can do it! I prefer making outbound calls because I'm in control of the situation
LadieLydKyd my wife refuses to talk on the phone and pump her gas. she has severe anxiety and PTSD. its weird how many people have the same anxieties
The part about phoning people is difficult. Sometimes I find myself delaying it for as long as I can.
I have all of those😔😔😔😢😢
You are a good therapist Kati. You communicate in a way that is not intimidating.
I could relate to much, up to the point of getting anxiety just listening you playing out these scenarios.
I am just too worried and nervous about almost everything and then if someone else mentions it, i just wanna throw up, and i get the feeling of dropping from a roller coaster in my stomach because...i dont know why! Like as if am doing some another level analysis in my own brain, and am crying and having a breakdown over this thing am stressing about, but i feel its okay cause its all bottles upinside me, but if someone else mentions it, i just cant sit with them anymore; i have to go to the bathroom, lock myself there and cry, or shout with a towel on my mouth (so its muffled),or just throw up- am i just too sensitive and annoying or is there a medical explanation of this? Can anyone please help

@@isabellashirahmadi5704 ohhh update about that para, i talked at home about it and i'm diagnosed now,, its an anxiety disorder😔👌
Within 3 months i overcome totally my anxiety disorder by the help of medicines thanks to my psychiatrist very much
Chitvan Kashyap what medicines?
Answer
I have anxiety all the time in a build or in park, crowds big crowds, i've taken medication but the side affects started to get the better of me so i stop taking them, there has been months i've been with anxiety and there has been months without anxiety. this videos has helped answer some question which is gonna help me take control. anxiety has been one of the reason that its hard to keep a job but with this video i should be able to get back on track.
Great description of Social Phobia. I think it's important to work on your inner self, to build confidence and self-worth, in order to care less what others think. There's much freedom in that.
Are there people out there who cannot be embarrassed? If so why is that?
I am very rarely embarrassed. because I just don't care what people think of me. I am just myself.
right.
Some people have difficulty feeling certain emotions if they're depressed or have things like depersonalization, dissociation, but if you think you're fine otherwise then it's probably not significant
Psychopaths and sociopaths don’t feel embarrassment, because they have 0 empathy and don’t care about anyone other than themselves. They know they are the best and they can’t do anything wrong, so why care what some idiot thinks. I think that’s the logic behind it.
What I do is I read my bible and pray to god thank you lord for your love for me and thank you Jesus for sacrificing your life for the whole world⛪️💒✝️
yes!!!!!!!!
He loved you so much to give you and others anxiety disorders in the first place?
@@TacosYBurritos8P i'm also not convinced by this , since i've read many articles about scrupulosity ( "religious ocd")
V V he didn’t give anyone anxiety disorders jackass.
You make alot more sense and seem to care about a persons well being and not just blowing them off
Thanks for making this video!! I think one huge component of GAD (from personal experience) is that it does not let you carry out your regular life!
You look like my guidance counselor I'm screaming
what to do when i dont have money for of psychologist?? no1 to talk with??
RookieThe There are forums out there for people dealing with mental illness or just loneliness. (Google whatever is specific to you). Sharing your experiences with people dealing with similar issues can be helpful.
+darthrevan6 also, there are some places that offer "sliding fee scale" type payment options. I go to one of these and the therapist i speak to is actually a social worker, but it has been really helpful for me, and in these sorts of places they tend to be able to point you in the right direction of any other type of specialist you might need as well, and they even take into account your financial situation.
+RookieThe Meditation....Spiritual Juice!
just relax we will live once don't think about others so much work less and tray to be near a sea or natural place , eat a good meal in a day , sleep more drink water find a job with kids or old people that more lovely , live a simple clean life style,, +RookieThe
ever since i was in 7th grade (13 ish?) until now (sophomore, almost 16) i have struggled with anxiety. but i can tell i have started to overcome it. now, i was never "officially diagnosed" but my mom has been a psychologist for the last 20 ish years, and that's what she told me. this year i have finally started to over come it, and it feels sooo good. for anyone struggling with anxiety or any mental illness really, it does get better. and i'm not just saying that, but it really does. i do still have anxious moments, like when i'm in the car, in some social situations, and more. but, last year i used to be super anxious all day every day, but now it's usually once a day or sometimes if i'm having a good week, once every other day.
also, i know self diagnosing isn't always the best, but i've "diagnosed" myself with GAD and SAD, which help me "cope" and understand what i'm feeling. i don't go around telling people "oh yeah i have anxiety" but it's more for myself. i don't know if i actually have them, or if i have something else, but that just helps me understand and find ways to deal with my situations and feelings.
Thank you, I found this very helpful as my GP surgery refused to see me and don't have any appointments for over a week. I suffer very badly with anxiety but it has intensified this week from starting a new job where I am in a very high building on the highest floor and am constantly struggling with panic attacks I wasn't sure if this meant I was acrophobic or agoraphobic but now I have better understanding thanks to this video
Can you develop social phobia from lack of social interaction?
Tiffany Dotson yes I need to know this as well
Yes you can. That's the problem Im trying to recover from now never really going out or having fun or not really having friends you get used to that so when you're finally out there around people it feels awkward as hell it's like u got used to being lonely!
Lol, I am a blob of anxiety 😂
Kati, you are so beautiful inside and out! Thank you for all you do! Love from Boston. xo
Great video! Thank you! 💕
I have S-A and I literally cringe every time someone laughs
This and adhd is not a good combination!!
I was diagnosed with adhd as a teen... but I have had attacks before that. Possible misdiagnoses?
Great video. It's only recently I've discovered that I've been suffering from anxiety, in one form or another, for much of my life without realising it. I've suffered from depression in the past in my early 20's and over the past couple of years, after being made redundant from my job and not being able to get a new one, it's reared its ugly head again. I'm getting therapy this time and a lot of the anxiety stuff is turning up that I never really thought about. Never be afraid to get help.
You are beautiful. I love your spirit and video. I love the way you teach and your passion for mental disorders. I believe my daughter has bipolar disorder 1. I am praying that she is properly diagnosed to get her help. She's 8 years. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers to get properly diagnosed and great treatment
