Dude I love the fact that she said "also". Like it can look different in many ways and I just love the wording of this one. I always see ppl say "what it actually looks like"
So true it's different for everyone, I curl into a ball, hyperventilate, and cry then I get mad at myself for crying so I just bottle my feelings up and pretend I'm fine
As someone that has social anxiety this is extremely accurate. I won’t break down but I’ll just slowly become more aware of my surroundings and then become super tense.
God that's horrifying I do that (becoming aware 9f my surroundings) so I can stay calm and by staying calm it makes me care less so I know how to deal with situations like these mentally, I feel absolutely horrible for anyone has them and hopefully you find a way to battle them or something best wishes ♥️♥️
I totally agree! Then I try to stay calm by fidgeting though sometimes it makes it worse, I either need to be out of where I am and be alone (or with someone of my choice) or I might tear up a little bit and it could turn full blown
Honestly, I don’t really deal with social anxiety well. The best way that I find to deal with large crowds is just to go and cling to someone you know that acts a a safety net.
To anyone with anxiety, y’all are beautiful and deserve people who are actually genuinely good, nice, caring, and loving in your lives who will also want to give you the world just to see y’all smile 😊
Yea same most of mine are like that with the added tendency to pull at the skin on my forearm... Which causes bruising. Always a fun Convo to have later when someone notices
As a person who has really bad anxiety attacks I can confirm that this is completely true we may look perfectly fine on the out side but you feel like we are dying on the inside although I stutter alot when I have anxiety
@@jageplayzAnxiety attacks are like when someone is so anxious they start panicking, but that's not the only thing that happens. They may experience different things depending on their anxiety level and could just generally be based on their self.
I've had an anxiety attack before. They absolutely suck. Ya can't breathe feels like the rooms falling down, but I haven't had one in a long time Soo yeah. Lol
Yeah, anxiety attacks can look like either one. You can either be entirely breaking down trying to muffle your screams, or frozen in place trying to look calm. Or anything in between.
Mine often turns into uncontrollable sobbing but I sit quite still because it’s the only reaction I can control while trying to find a way to cope with the attack. Sucks balls.
@@maddogmadison6379 me to… I go through lots of images in my head and then feel mad or guilty about those images and eventually breakdown and cry and I can’t stop crying then I try to make myself stop but the more things my head comes up with along with the things that have been going on around me stops me from stopping and I eventually get tied and have to stop….
Panic attacks are the hyperventilating ones, where you can’t breath, you kinda cry but are mostly choking, and shaking, that sort of thing. Anxiety attacks last longer, you seem fine but you aren’t, usually remain dead silent and feel more on edge as it progresses.
Exactly. Author needs to educate if she want to spread awareness on the topic. Not many people know how to help person who is suffering from panic attack, it would be good to show it.

i love the way she said “also”! people always say “what people THINK panick attacks look like” and “what they ACTUALLY look like” so i love the fact u said “also” it means a lot to me as a person with panick attacks
@@creativebarbieideas5217 well yes generally, but here theyre talking about anxiety attacks which are very different to normal other types of panic attacks
they're specifically caused by high levels of anxiety normally coming from people who actually have issues with anxiety already, panic attacks are just a more generalized term typically because anyone can have a panic attack, not every one gets anxiety attacks
As someone with anxiety, I have anxiety attacks in different kinds of ways. Sometimes I'll break down crying and other times I'll just go silent. Anxiety is different for everyone.
I can low-key relate, because sometimes in school people make noises that make me really irritated and anxious. I’ll just sit there digging my nails into my hand and covering my ears so that I’m not a disturbance. No one even asks what’s wrong
ahh same here girl I just cover my ear and than start banging my legs little little lightly and than it get fast and fast. one of my friend say she have anxiety attacks but for some reason she is the always the one making the noise I feel these days people think having attacks is fun and make your popular
@@Ashnothere0 you know that anxiety attacks can be caused by many different things? just because yours are caused by specific noises doesn't mean hers have to be because of said noises either, plus it's typically only when said noise is done by other people and not the person themselves, I don't get anxiety attacks but some noises do drive me absolutely crazy and make me lose my shit and it's never when I make those noises, it's when other people do
This is so relatable. I regularly have both types. I feel like when I have the first one, I annoy people or they think I want attention or something. I also feel like my friends are just tired of it. When I have the second one it’s easier to hide but then my friends feel like I’m rude because I don’t talk and be myself. Once my friends ask me if I’m ok, I usually just break down in one of their arms. Those who understand, understand and those who don’t, don’t. Since I am the only one in my friend group that has it this badly they are always like “you always say you feel that way, get over it and just be happy.” When I am told that it just makes things worse and then my anxiety gets worse and I start to panic that my friends don’t like me. Anxiety is horrible y’all. God bless every single one of you that go through it, it is a daily challenge that other people don’t understand. If there was any advice I would give someone that doesn’t deal with this, it would be that just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean you should judge. Treat people how you would want to be treated, and PLEASE help them because we deserve all the help we can get!
@@RhianaScamander I have a blood pressure medicine I take (yes that sounds like I am old or something but I’m not). My therapist also helps me with unusual techniques that might work. One of the weirdest ones I have been taught is the old McDonald had a farm song. You hum the E I E I O. Apparently something about that tune when you hum it sends off a signal to your brain to calm down. Another good one is if you have anxiety for worrying. You can name it whatever you want but me and my therapist call it worry time. Basically you assign maybe 30 minutes or whatever amount of time you need a day with no distractions to worry. If you are worrying about something outside of the time, you tell yourself nope I have to wait until worry time. During that worry time you don’t try to solve the problem that you are worrying about but you just worry. For most people you tend not to have anxiety during the day after setting a schedule to worry at that time. I hope this helps! If you need anymore help just let me know!
Ive had them before, and i always tuck myself into a corner until someone comes and asks if im ok. I say yes so they don’t worry about me, and then i burst into tears, knowing i lied to my friend. They soon come back and ask again, and i say no, im not ok. They always decide to help, or to just hang out with me until im better. This is completely accurate ❤
As someone with anxiety and gets severe attacks almost every day, this is true. It's different for everyone, and for me I won't show that I'm suffering until I start picking my nails, then I being to hyperventilate and stuff. Other times, I'll be sitting there, bouncing my leg and picking my nails and someone'll know somethings wrong or they'll say to stop fidgeting. 😑
@@KentuckyfriedheliceI don’t have anxiety attacks I don’t think but even when I Wna just bc I kinda feel like it I hate it and if I had anxiety attacks I would legit Wna punch them
As someone who's friend has anxiety this is accurate ngl. She doesn't wanna start drama at school so she just sits like that and gives me a signal if she needs help
100% can confirm. When I have anxiety attacks I start to scratch my leg or something or like my arm, and end up unintentionally severely hurting mysef Edit: wow 388 likes is the most likes I've ever had ty! 🥰
I do it but I have really tough skin so I could run a pair of scissors on my arm and have only a white streak, no scratch. Meanwhile my bestie can get cut by the soft tip of a marker.
I have panic disorder and anxiety disorder. It typically manifests as rather physical symptoms and it is important to note for viewers that anxiety is not the same as anxiety disorder. My symptoms tend to be a lot of clutching. I feel the obsessive need to touch my neck and hold it as if covering it from harm. I also hold my ear or stroke my own hands or arms to soothe. It is all because one tends to feel like they are going to lose control or have a medical episode like a stroke or heart attack. Holding parts of my body give me some sense of control back and helps me check in and ground.
What’s the difference between anxiety disorder and anxiety just in general? I have anxiety and panic attacks and stuff so I was wondering what it would be like
@@Gangster_gurlies Anxiety disorder is a physical manifestation of anxiety symptoms to an extreme degree and is your body going into fight or flight mode unnecessarily due to brain chemistry imbalance, environment, or past trauma. Anxiety is just the flutters you get before presenting in front of a crowd, for instance. Or being nervous about an upcoming interview. Everyone gets that, even I do. Both are distinct.
@@safurapatel1317 Definitely, ensure you're receiving regular therapy and medical guidance with your conditions to be sure they do not get out of control. May Yahweh bless you. 💙
As someone who gets anxiety attacks, I can confirm that they can look emotionless from the outside even though it’s overwhelming how many emotions you feel at the same time, this is why you can’t tell if someone is having one. The emotions you feel however are almost indescribible. Long story short, they take over your mind and feelings almost instantaneously and it takes not phisical strength, but mental strength to gain power in your mind back.
Yes, I've had multiple anxiety attacks and I can confirm this is actually what they look like. I also have ADHD and this combination of ADHD and severe anxiety is the worst especially when you grew up with a very bad stepdad and a Very nice mom . I had no anxiety until 7 years ago when I was 7 someone did something VERY bad to my mom. (It was stepdad not a stranger) I don't live there anymore but I still see my mom every week so I'm safe. Be careful guys and ALWAYS tell people what you don't like about your past so they don't accidentally make you feel like you are back in the past. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Edit: I don't want to be that kind of person but thanks for the likes
I had a panic attack infront of over half my grade today and this was one where I burst into tears and couldn't talk because of how I was crying. I'm pretty embarrassed because I haven't cried at school before! The reason it happened is because someone threw up and it triggered me because I have emtophobia and a random teacher had to pull me into a classroom to calm me down. 😅
As a person with moderate to severe social and general anxiety as well as panic disorder, I really appreciate that you acknowledge it can be both ways. I have some days where it is extremely difficult and others where the people who know me best can’t tell. You are an icon for me
So true, I have tons of it, and people say it's not that bad, but it really I have anxiety attacks all the time, and people who are going through it need to not let it take control. That's what I did now. I am miserable
I get really bad ones at school and everyone just says “oh are you okay? You seem tired”. And when I tell them what’s happening they just say “quit being an attention seeker” Tysm for all the likes
I just ignore them or don’t even answer cuz I get they worried but I feel like they gonna do this and I don’t trust people enough to open up to them like this so I just say I’m fine and don’t tell them even tho I’m crying inside
Don't do this. As someone who struggles with dissociation AND still anxiety attacks, don't do this. Let them pass on their own, gently try to ask if they're okay, but don't touch them or interfere. If they don't respond, try to enter their field of vision and wave. Typically anxiety attacks look like the first video, people who have anxiety attacks from trauma usually respond like the second example. Touching that person can be damaging for not only them, but for those around them. If they're caught in a flashback, they might not be aware of what's going on around them in real life and lash out as if they're in their flashback.
I used to always be suspiciously still at school but now I am suspiciously still at other things but I still get a lot of anxiety at school as I'm also a introvert tho being my online friend you would think I'm a extrovert-
@@StashWaw It's common with people with cPTSD and PTSD. if someone touches me in the wrong spot when I'm in a flashback, I end up almost hurting people irl thinking I'm back there. Always remember flashbacks aren't intrusive memories, they're traumitic intrusive abstract memories you've repressed. A lot of people say they've had flashbacks, and I'll be the first to say they have no idea the struggle of what a flashback actually does to a person. I used to say I had flashbacks before I actually had them when I was able to process the memories, I'd like to hit my past self.
I have anxiety and get bad attacks during school all the time. I used to cry and lose breath but was able to learn how to mask it later on. Because of this, though, I was never able to receive the help I needed and my anxiety got worse. If you have anxiety, it is nothing to be ashamed of and you should NEVER try to hide it
I know but like Imagine if your on a fun event and of somthing that has hapend before you get anxeity you cant just show it and start crying bc then everything gets ruined, I know ppl say to NEVER hide your sadnes but for me i feel really bad but slowly when i pretend to be happy since the person im with dosent notice it they are still happy and slowly slowly i get better ❤️🩹 So fake it until you make it for me
I've actually internalize my anxiety to the point of developing physical symptoms of anxiety and panic like chest pains and in rare cases fainting. Anxiety isn't something to dismiss and should be treated as soon as you're able to.
*You forgot the looking down emotionless for a min or two and then acting completely "fine" afterwards but then when you try to interact with them there completely different*
Society made a stereotype that you usually appear to be “freaking out” during an anxiety attack, but as someone with HORRIBLE anxiety, I can sag that this is not usually the case. A lot of my anxiety attacks happen in secret and no one knows I’m having one.
right, but remember not all people with anxiety have the same kind of attacks, and some people cant control their attacks. when i had first started getting horrible attacks i would cry, hyperventilate, and shake. now though, i can just breathe in and out, but sometimes ill still shake a bit.
As someone who suffered with these I can 100 percent confirm that It is not always a physical reaction of anxiety. Just because you do not show visible signs of anxiety doesn't mean that your experience isn't valid. Stay safe everyone 💜
This was me when I was late to school, I was walking to my classroom on a day with a test, I stopped in my tracks and just stood there with tears in my eyes because I felt like I couldn't walk up to the door. I finally did and was told to wait outside for the rest of the class to finish. Am kinda glad because I was sitting there because I knew if I was testing i would have been crying. The hole rest of the day I was just quiet with my anxiety spiking randomly and I had two god damn anxiety attacks in one day and they were both quiet ones. I really only get quiet ones and only like two years ago I figured out that can be a anxiety attack-
As someone who has anxiety, your videos help me to feel like I’m not alone. I had a really bad anxiety attack last week. I couldn’t breathe, my heart was racing, and I couldn’t even eat. It was awful.
Yess! I deal with anxiety attacks and panic attacks and they are not fun. Sometimes people act like they are no big deal, when they are terrifying and not good feeling. Some people don’t get that, but it makes me and others who deal with anxiety and anxiety attacks and panic attacks feel heard when watching this! You made my day because this is giving out another example of what an anxiety attack can look like! Thank you so much for making this video and I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
as someone who experiences semi-frequent anxiety attacks, yes. this is what they actually look like. staring off into space, silence, maybe some shaking and fidgetting. we don't throw a whole fit.
Yes, I agree my anxiety attacks are mostly caused by trauma, and at those moments, I am in most pain bc in my brain. I'm saying not again what happened?!, and I feel like hurting the who caused it.
not necessarily, i have frequent attacks which i can now control, but when i couldnt i would shake and cry, and i would make myself hyperventilate causing me to start crying even more. now i can just breathe in and breathe out but sometimes ill still shake.
I think they can be completely different than typical people who have no idea what it feels like to not be able to breathe or feel like you’re never going to again. It’s the scariest feeling for me. Having emergency medication just in case prescribed from your doctor is life saving. Just because you know it’s there it makes them happen so much less. It’s worth a try❤ great posts!
When I get anxiety attacks I stop talking as much, I tend to cross my arms or hug myself, I feel like I’m having an asthma attack, I have a hard time focusing, loud noises make me more anxious, or being in crowds (sometimes I have attacks just from those two things), I stop smiling and laughing as much, I look at the ground and avoid eye contact and I get somewhat closed off. Very few people in my life know when I’m having a panic or anxiety attack, but even for the people who don’t I know I can talk to them and they will help me find a quiet place where we’ll often sit and talk to take my mind off whatever caused the attack, or whatever is making me anxious.
@@Abigail_eq152 I know it seems really hard to tell them, but it always feels better to have people who know and can help and support you through attacks, or even just the little things.
@@Abigail_eq152 I brought it up in conversation. They would say something. For example “There were a lot of people there.” And I would say “I could never be in a crowd it’s one of the things that gives me anxiety” and then I’d laugh to make it less awkward. If you don’t want to do that you can just ‘sit them down’ and talk to them about it. It always feels really awkward, but it’s not as bad as it seems.
people need to know that it's not always just crying and kinda screaming thanks for making this to show others how messed up they are if they think that's what all anxiety attacks look like
Thank you for explaining this i have bad anxiety alot and in school i get told theres nothing wrong with me or im lying and seeking attention when in reality they just expect me to have a melt down over it all the time
@@katarinasapia awh I’m really sorry people do that to you that must feel awful I hate how horrible people have to be for absolutely no reason but I hope things get better 🫶
Yup, I also love how you put 'also' because there are many different ways a person can get anxiety attacks. When I get them, I fidget quietly with my hands or zone out. But they aren't fun. On the outside, you look emotionless, but on the inside, you feel so many emotions at once that it's overwhelming.
#me And then my friends are like “are you ok?” when I’m not smiling and then I smile at them and I say “I’m fine” when though I feel like breaking down
Thank you for this video. I have anxiety attacks like everyday. Nobody ever notices because so many people think they only look like the first one. Anxiety attacks can look like anything. And this is a great example of the most common two for me.
I have both but it’s mostly both at the same time. I’ll be screaming and fidgeting and then I’ll become completely silent and everyone thinks that it’s over when I’m still panicking
i stare into the distance, try to keep breathing as i often stop breathing when i get an anxiety attack. only certain people can tell when ones happening but even then its very difficult.
Wait what??? I always zone out and I just don’t breath so I have to like remember to breathe.. does that mean it’s an anxiety attack or just my brain being lazy?
even at age eight i have had anxiety and with that the anxiety attacks. i still do and used to struggle to let anyone know out of being overwhelmed. it was so hard to even just verbally express my emotions. so id very often and still do cry with no one knowing why. so id often at my old school get misunderstood and bullied. it makes me happy to know others uderstand my pain and can relate. thank you for reading my troubles!!!
The amount of anxiety attacks I'd have back in college in the mornings just because of the amount of people I'd have to walk by always sent me to the nearest restroom because I couldn't breathe. I remember running into a professor who I actually liked talking to and wanted to talk to again if I ever saw them, but unfortunately that time just happened to come by whilst in the middle of an attack and I had to brush past them instead. Bad times. I never did see them again either.
Here is a tip: use essential oils. Carry your favorite scent in your pocket and when you get anxious take it out and smell it. It’s really calming and it works for me 😊
I start hyperventilating, get unable to speak and i start crying from dogs around me, I have trauma. Everyone has a different reaction to anxiety attacks and they look different so I like the way she wrote they can ALSO, because all are different🙂
As someone who has anxiety, I personally get overwhelmed and the more I try and hide it the more it just comes out. I can't keep myself from crying and sometimes if I am surrounded by a bunch it increases it.
I have these all the time and people really need to understand that not all anxiety attacks look like the 1st one. I get these and i seem fine on the outside, but a few minutes later i randomly start breaking down, hyperventilating, heart beat accelarates, etc. This mainly happens to me during school though
This is so true. in school sometimes I can’t breathe and start hyperventilating, breaking down, I kind of get more fidgety, and I can hear my heartbeat clearly.
He same happens to me. It's either the second one, or you end up having me locked up in a bathroom while I cry my eyes out while whispering to myself "it's all gonna be fine" or "calmdowncalmdowncalmdown"
I can relate, so i actually had one at school and it was just so much stress and work and a lot to handle with. I actually started breaking down uncontrollably, so the teachers sat me in the back and told me to talk to them and tell them what’s wrong. And I wanna say thank you to my teacher she was so understanding ☺️
My teachers kicked me out of class mid panic attack for not being cooperative or something along those lines, which I then began to break down.. and she told me to suck it up and continued to force me out of the room. I didn’t know what to do so I just sat there and cried. My anxiety haunts me to this day, because of that reason
There would be “popular” girls at my school who would fake attacks to draw attention to themselves at school and then when I would have an attack people would say “stop copying (popular girls name)
this is so true. i have anxiety myself and whenever i have a panic attack i get these random tics, where i keep twitching and like shaking and my mind is running a million mph. other things happen it’s just those main things. glad to know that people are spreading awareness abt how living with anxiety is
for me the second one is more common, but sometimes i do experience the first one. i will get lost in thought and start to get itchy and people tell me to snap out of it or fix my attitude. Anxiety is different for everyone, and just because u cope a different way or experience anxiety attacks differently, doesn’t make any less difficult to handle. ily all, and have a great day/night 🫶🏼 -someone with anxiety💀
I'm so sorry you guys have to go through that stress often. I've never had to go through that but I have friends that have them regularly and I know how hard they can be on people. You are all beautiful and deserve to love yourself as you are! Be strong guys❤💙
Yeah like people think that all the time! Somebody said to me “are you okay?” And I said “No I’m having really bad anxiety right now” and they said “Well you don’t look like you are” I looked at them staring into their soul. 😌
Yeah I usually just stand in a corner looking depressed and holding back tears until someone comes over and asks if everythings ok. Sometimes I'll cry and get super anxious and I just can't deal with anything and I just stand there because I don't know what to do or go. I also hate being by myself so anxiety attacks happen all the time for me! And something that makes it worse is that I'm an overthinker so whenever something good happens I'll think of every possible outcome especially the bad ones. I feel horrible for people who go through a similar thing! Praying for everyone 🙏❤️
So true. I was diagnosed with anxiety and I my panic attacks aren’t like running around, screaming, not being able to breathe, or anything like that, but I just stay silent and breathe heavily and sometimes jerk suddenly or make whining noises.
this is incredibly true. most of my family doesn’t understand that anxiety attacks can look exactly like either, and for me it’s usually the second one so they usually just tell me I’m fine and that I’m being overdramatic

ive had what i think is 3 anxiety attacks i broke down in all of them (its kind of funny to think of like i danced-) in softball games. Embarrassing.😐
Can you have ones where you are silent but shaking a lot?
@@isla_lovexx yes
You calmly try to find things to distract yourself while youre internally stressing 👩🏻🦯
maybe i explained panic attacks mb
I can low-key relate, because sometimes in school people make noises that make me really irritated and anxious. I’ll just sit there digging my nails into my hand and covering my ears so that I’m not a disturbance. No one even asks what’s wrong
I relate to you, I used to hurt myself a lot more than I do now tho. I am sorry for you and anyone who relates
Same
ahh same here girl I just cover my ear and than start banging my legs little little lightly and than it get fast and fast. one of my friend say she have anxiety attacks but for some reason she is the always the one making the noise I feel these days people think having attacks is fun and make your popular
@@Ashnothere0 you know that anxiety attacks can be caused by many different things? just because yours are caused by specific noises doesn't mean hers have to be because of said noises either, plus it's typically only when said noise is done by other people and not the person themselves, I don't get anxiety attacks but some noises do drive me absolutely crazy and make me lose my shit and it's never when I make those noises, it's when other people do
I hurt myself, and sometimes it makes me want to hurt others, but no one cares, so I shut up
This is so relatable. I regularly have both types. I feel like when I have the first one, I annoy people or they think I want attention or something. I also feel like my friends are just tired of it. When I have the second one it’s easier to hide but then my friends feel like I’m rude because I don’t talk and be myself. Once my friends ask me if I’m ok, I usually just break down in one of their arms. Those who understand, understand and those who don’t, don’t. Since I am the only one in my friend group that has it this badly they are always like “you always say you feel that way, get over it and just be happy.” When I am told that it just makes things worse and then my anxiety gets worse and I start to panic that my friends don’t like me. Anxiety is horrible y’all. God bless every single one of you that go through it, it is a daily challenge that other people don’t understand. If there was any advice I would give someone that doesn’t deal with this, it would be that just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean you should judge. Treat people how you would want to be treated, and PLEASE help them because we deserve all the help we can get!
How do you cope with anxiety I also experience them but i just sit there calmly
but i ´ m also trying to catch my breath
@@RhianaScamander I have a blood pressure medicine I take (yes that sounds like I am old or something but I’m not). My therapist also helps me with unusual techniques that might work. One of the weirdest ones I have been taught is the old McDonald had a farm song. You hum the E I E I O. Apparently something about that tune when you hum it sends off a signal to your brain to calm down. Another good one is if you have anxiety for worrying. You can name it whatever you want but me and my therapist call it worry time. Basically you assign maybe 30 minutes or whatever amount of time you need a day with no distractions to worry. If you are worrying about something outside of the time, you tell yourself nope I have to wait until worry time. During that worry time you don’t try to solve the problem that you are worrying about but you just worry. For most people you tend not to have anxiety during the day after setting a schedule to worry at that time. I hope this helps! If you need anymore help just let me know!

The “also” was so true. I have anxiety attacks and I experience them in both these ways depending on what, when, why ect. They can look like both.
SOO TRUE, I struggle with anxiety especially socially, I love how you used "Also" and not "Actually" I love how you're spreading awareness

Ive had them before, and i always tuck myself into a corner until someone comes and asks if im ok. I say yes so they don’t worry about me, and then i burst into tears, knowing i lied to my friend.

I have panic disorder and anxiety disorder. It typically manifests as rather physical symptoms and it is important to note for viewers that anxiety is not the same as anxiety disorder. My symptoms tend to be a lot of clutching. I feel the obsessive need to touch my neck and hold it as if covering it from harm. I also hold my ear or stroke my own hands or arms to soothe. It is all because one tends to feel like they are going to lose control or have a medical episode like a stroke or heart attack. Holding parts of my body give me some sense of control back and helps me check in and ground.
What’s the difference between anxiety disorder and anxiety just in general? I have anxiety and panic attacks and stuff so I was wondering what it would be like
𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕙 𝕤𝕒𝕞𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖
@@Gangster_gurlies Anxiety disorder is a physical manifestation of anxiety symptoms to an extreme degree and is your body going into fight or flight mode unnecessarily due to brain chemistry imbalance, environment, or past trauma.
Anxiety is just the flutters you get before presenting in front of a crowd, for instance. Or being nervous about an upcoming interview. Everyone gets that, even I do. Both are distinct.

THANK YOU. my parents yelled at me because i was 'faking' it but people do not understand that they dont always look like the 1st one.
True
Same
My parents are like that as well
You okay? Girl
And actually we can't do the 1st one infront of parents😅
As someone who gets anxiety attacks, I
can confirm that they can look emotionless from the outside even though it’s overwhelming how many emotions you feel at the same time, this is why you can’t tell if someone is having one. The emotions you feel however are almost indescribible. Long story short, they take over your mind and feelings almost instantaneously and it takes not phisical strength, but mental strength to gain power in your mind back.
Ya-
Mhhh hmm-
I get anxiety attacks and panick attacks sometimes bc am scared of throwing and others because I feel stressed 😥
Yes, I've had multiple anxiety attacks and I can confirm this is actually what they look like.
I also have ADHD and this combination of ADHD and severe anxiety is the worst especially when you grew up with a very bad stepdad and a Very nice mom . I had no anxiety until 7 years ago when I was 7 someone did something VERY bad to my mom. (It was stepdad not a stranger)
I don't live there anymore but I still see my mom every week so I'm safe.

I had a panic attack infront of over half my grade today and this was one where I burst into tears and couldn't talk because of how I was crying. I'm pretty embarrassed because I haven't cried at school before! The reason it happened is because someone threw up and it triggered me because I have emtophobia and a random teacher had to pull me into a classroom to calm me down. 😅
My anxiety attacks is me just sat in a corner breathing loudly

As a person with moderate to severe social and general anxiety as well as panic disorder, I really appreciate that you acknowledge it can be both ways. I have some days where it is extremely difficult and others where the people who know me best can’t tell. You are an icon for me
So true, I have tons of it, and people say it's not that bad, but it really I have anxiety attacks all the time, and people who are going through it need to not let it take control. That's what I did now. I am miserable
I get really bad ones at school and everyone just says “oh are you okay? You seem tired”. And when I tell them what’s happening they just say “quit being an attention seeker”

If someone you know who has anxiety is going suspiciously still, check on them to make sure they’re not having an anxiety attack
Don't do this. As someone who struggles with dissociation AND still anxiety attacks, don't do this. Let them pass on their own, gently try to ask if they're okay, but don't touch them or interfere. If they don't respond, try to enter their field of vision and wave. Typically anxiety attacks look like the first video, people who have anxiety attacks from trauma usually respond like the second example. Touching that person can be damaging for not only them, but for those around them. If they're caught in a flashback, they might not be aware of what's going on around them in real life and lash out as if they're in their flashback.
I used to always be suspiciously still at school but now I am suspiciously still at other things but I still get a lot of anxiety at school as I'm also a introvert tho being my online friend you would think I'm a extrovert-
@@kailathefox Ok! Thanks for telling us tho I have once been suspiciously still and then have a flash back (Well actually plenty of times lol-)
@@StashWaw It's common with people with cPTSD and PTSD. if someone touches me in the wrong spot when I'm in a flashback, I end up almost hurting people irl thinking I'm back there. Always remember flashbacks aren't intrusive memories, they're traumitic intrusive abstract memories you've repressed. A lot of people say they've had flashbacks, and I'll be the first to say they have no idea the struggle of what a flashback actually does to a person. I used to say I had flashbacks before I actually had them when I was able to process the memories, I'd like to hit my past self.
@@kailathefox kk
I have anxiety and get bad attacks during school all the time. I used to cry and lose breath but was able to learn how to mask it later on. Because of this, though, I was never able to receive the help I needed and my anxiety got worse. If you have anxiety, it is nothing to be ashamed of and you should NEVER try to hide it
I know but like Imagine if your on a fun event and of somthing that has hapend before you get anxeity you cant just show it and start crying bc then everything gets ruined, I know ppl say to NEVER hide your sadnes but for me i feel really bad but slowly when i pretend to be happy since the person im with dosent notice it they are still happy and slowly slowly i get better ❤️🩹 So fake it until you make it for me
I've actually internalize my anxiety to the point of developing physical symptoms of anxiety and panic like chest pains and in rare cases fainting. Anxiety isn't something to dismiss and should be treated as soon as you're able to.
@@siifii.v1 i dont have anxeity like that though i swear i am a bit of a overreacer i think. But sometimes i do feel really bad

*You forgot the looking down emotionless for a min or two and then acting completely "fine" afterwards but then when you try to interact with them there completely different*
Also forgot the one that looks like they're suddenly on acid and trying not to provoke the giant dragon that's right there
I dont think i have anxiety, but im always like this.
Society made a stereotype that you usually appear to be “freaking out” during an anxiety attack, but as someone with HORRIBLE anxiety, I can sag that this is not usually the case. A lot of my anxiety attacks happen in secret and no one knows I’m having one.
Sup nahida
right, but remember not all people with anxiety have the same kind of attacks, and some people cant control their attacks. when i had first started getting horrible attacks i would cry, hyperventilate, and shake. now though, i can just breathe in and out, but sometimes ill still shake a bit.
As someone who suffered with these I can 100 percent confirm that It is not always a physical reaction of anxiety. Just because you do not show visible signs of anxiety doesn't mean that your experience isn't valid.
Stay safe everyone 💜
Thanks I hope you do as well. Have a wonderful day❤
True
Very true
Then it's just anxiety. Attack is always physical.
@@pariskate1997 Not necessarily, it can appear to be just anxiety but that person can be having an attack on the inside
This was me when I was late to school, I was walking to my classroom on a day with a test, I stopped in my tracks and just stood there with tears in my eyes because I felt like I couldn't walk up to the door. I finally did and was told to wait outside for the rest of the class to finish. Am kinda glad because I was sitting there because I knew if I was testing i would have been crying. The hole rest of the day I was just quiet with my anxiety spiking randomly and I had two god damn anxiety attacks in one day and they were both quiet ones. I really only get quiet ones and only like two years ago I figured out that can be a anxiety attack-
As someone who has anxiety, your videos help me to feel like I’m not alone. I had a really bad anxiety attack last week. I couldn’t breathe, my heart was racing, and I couldn’t even eat. It was awful.
She described me better than my mother could.

Yess! I deal with anxiety attacks and panic attacks and they are not fun. Sometimes people act like they are no big deal, when they are terrifying and not good feeling. Some people don’t get that, but it makes me and others who deal with anxiety and anxiety attacks and panic attacks feel heard when watching this! You made my day because this is giving out another example of what an anxiety attack can look like! Thank you so much for making this video and I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
Anxiety attacks can be overwhelming, but recognizing the signs can help us handle them with more compassion and care. 🌿💙
Libby you are the best person ever. You make me feel like I’m not alone out there and you have no idea how understood I feel. Thank you
as someone who experiences semi-frequent anxiety attacks, yes. this is what they actually look like. staring off into space, silence, maybe some shaking and fidgetting.
we don't throw a whole fit.
Yes, I agree my anxiety attacks are mostly caused by trauma, and at those moments, I am in most pain bc in my brain. I'm saying not again what happened?!, and I feel like hurting the who caused it.
Oh-I have a lot of them then💀
not necessarily, i have frequent attacks which i can now control, but when i couldnt i would shake and cry, and i would make myself hyperventilate causing me to start crying even more. now i can just breathe in and breathe out but sometimes ill still shake.
I think they can be completely different than typical people who have no idea what it feels like to not be able to breathe or feel like you’re never going to again. It’s the scariest feeling for me. Having emergency medication just in case prescribed from your doctor is life saving. Just because you know it’s there it makes them happen so much less. It’s worth a try❤ great posts!
When I get anxiety attacks I stop talking as much, I tend to cross my arms or hug myself, I feel like I’m having an asthma attack, I have a hard time focusing, loud noises make me more anxious, or being in crowds (sometimes I have attacks just from those two things), I stop smiling and laughing as much, I look at the ground and avoid eye contact and I get somewhat closed off. Very few people in my life know when I’m having a panic or anxiety attack, but even for the people who don’t I know I can talk to them and they will help me find a quiet place where we’ll often sit and talk to take my mind off whatever caused the attack, or whatever is making me anxious.
This is me honestly and I haven’t even told my friends about my anxiety yet only one of them k ows
@@Abigail_eq152 I know it seems really hard to tell them, but it always feels better to have people who know and can help and support you through attacks, or even just the little things.
@Stormy_Meadows
I do t really know how to tell them though 😅
@@Abigail_eq152 I brought it up in conversation. They would say something. For example “There were a lot of people there.” And I would say “I could never be in a crowd it’s one of the things that gives me anxiety” and then I’d laugh to make it less awkward. If you don’t want to do that you can just ‘sit them down’ and talk to them about it. It always feels really awkward, but it’s not as bad as it seems.
@ Stormy_Meadows
Ok TY!!
people need to know that it's not always just crying and kinda screaming thanks for making this to show others how messed up they are if they think that's what all anxiety attacks look like
Thank you for explaining this i have bad anxiety alot and in school i get told theres nothing wrong with me or im lying and seeking attention when in reality they just expect me to have a melt down over it all the time
I have anxiety over throwing up or gagging and people would gag all the time because they thought it was funny and I just wanted attention 😢
@@katarinasapia awh I’m really sorry people do that to you that must feel awful I hate how horrible people have to be for absolutely no reason but I hope things get better 🫶
when i have an anxiety attack i usually pass out ://
I love how you said also bc depending on how bad my anxiety is mine can look like both
Yup, I also love how you put 'also' because there are many different ways a person can get anxiety attacks. When I get them, I fidget quietly with my hands or zone out. But they aren't fun. On the outside, you look emotionless, but on the inside, you feel so many emotions at once that it's overwhelming.
Don’t forget the people who hide it under a smile!

I have both but it’s mostly both at the same time. I’ll be screaming and fidgeting and then I’ll become completely silent and everyone thinks that it’s over when I’m still panicking
this is so true tbh! when i get one i just stand in silence and my eyes are just wide open.
Very accurate. A lot of times you won’t be able to tell when someone is having an anxiety attack. When I have mine I’m as still as a rock.
No one knows I have anxiety attack I keep it a secret. Not even my parents 🥲
At that time I got tears 😢 in my eyes and my throat gets heavy, all I wanted is to go back home
also if it's bad sometimes I cry
i stare into the distance, try to keep breathing as i often stop breathing when i get an anxiety attack. only certain people can tell when ones happening but even then its very difficult.
Wait what??? I always zone out and I just don’t breath so I have to like remember to breathe.. does that mean it’s an anxiety attack or just my brain being lazy?
@@lills..33xi think it depends on the context of when it happens, your current situation, and what not. But i have the same question as you lol

Bro you literally explain me in every way I have awful anxiety, stress, ADHD and depression

even at age eight i have had anxiety and with that the anxiety attacks. i still do and used to struggle to let anyone know out of being overwhelmed. it was so hard to even just verbally express my emotions. so id very often and still do cry with no one knowing why. so id often at my old school get misunderstood and bullied. it makes me happy to know others uderstand my pain and can relate. thank you for reading my troubles!!!
Just knowing that i am not alone gives me some relief
Your acting is sooooo good ❤❤❤
thank you for uploading. We need more anxiety awareness. have a great weekend. 💜
The amount of anxiety attacks I'd have back in college in the mornings just because of the amount of people I'd have to walk by always sent me to the nearest restroom because I couldn't breathe. I remember running into a professor who I actually liked talking to and wanted to talk to again if I ever saw them, but unfortunately that time just happened to come by whilst in the middle of an attack and I had to brush past them instead. Bad times. I never did see them again either.
Here is a tip: use essential oils. Carry your favorite scent in your pocket and when you get anxious take it out and smell it. It’s really calming and it works for me 😊
@@Fr3E_spirit I'm gonna try that.
As a person with anxiety this is very very true for me

I start hyperventilating, get unable to speak and i start crying from dogs around me, I have trauma. Everyone has a different reaction to anxiety attacks and they look different so I like the way she wrote they can ALSO, because all are different🙂
As someone who has anxiety, I personally get overwhelmed and the more I try and hide it the more it just comes out. I can't keep myself from crying and sometimes if I am surrounded by a bunch it increases it.
I have these all the time and people really need to understand that not all anxiety attacks look like the 1st one. I get these and i seem fine on the outside, but a few minutes later i randomly start breaking down, hyperventilating, heart beat accelarates, etc. This mainly happens to me during school though
This is so true. in school sometimes I can’t breathe and start hyperventilating, breaking down, I kind of get more fidgety, and I can hear my heartbeat clearly.
He same happens to me. It's either the second one, or you end up having me locked up in a bathroom while I cry my eyes out while whispering to myself "it's all gonna be fine" or "calmdowncalmdowncalmdown"
Same and it sucks sm like- what am I supposed to do manna 😭
you have no idea how much this means to me thanks
Yeh it’s true i feel bad for myself cause when there’s to much ppl around me i get anxiety and I act like nothings happening
I can relate, so i actually had one at school and it was just so much stress and work and a lot to handle with. I actually started breaking down uncontrollably, so the teachers sat me in the back and told me to talk to them and tell them what’s wrong. And I wanna say thank you to my teacher she was so understanding ☺️
My teachers kicked me out of class mid panic attack for not being cooperative or something along those lines, which I then began to break down.. and she told me to suck it up and continued to force me out of the room. I didn’t know what to do so I just sat there and cried. My anxiety haunts me to this day, because of that reason
Yep… exactly
One day my brother got one anxiety attack and kicked the door e he almost broke his finger and the door Fell on the floor we had to get a New one
Its also important to note that sometimes they do look like the first one and their not faking either
Right, sometimes I’ll have them super badly (like the first one), and sometimes they look like the second one.
That’s why she put “also” in the caption. I like how she doesn’t exclude the first one from being a type of an anxiety attack.
Yeh thats legit me
And then you look like you’re just faking the attack and no one believes you
If you have this, you’re not alone ❤❤❤
everyone experineces it differently people should take that into knowledge
@@libbyglass yes definitely!! Thx for the reply ❤️
There would be “popular” girls at my school who would fake attacks to draw attention to themselves at school and then when I would have an attack people would say “stop copying (popular girls name)

this is so true. i have anxiety myself and whenever i have a panic attack i get these random tics, where i keep twitching and like shaking and my mind is running a million mph. other things happen it’s just those main things. glad to know that people are spreading awareness abt how living with anxiety is
My parents said I was twitching while I was sleeping also I had a nightmare abt like my biggest fear having a panic attack?
for me the second one is more common, but sometimes i do experience the first one. i will get lost in thought and start to get itchy and people tell me to snap out of it or fix my attitude. Anxiety is different for everyone, and just because u cope a different way or experience anxiety attacks differently, doesn’t make any less difficult to handle. ily all, and have a great day/night 🫶🏼

Yeah like people think that all the time! Somebody said to me “are you okay?” And I said “No I’m having really bad anxiety right now” and they said “Well you don’t look like you are” I looked at them staring into their soul. 😌
Yeah I usually just stand in a corner looking depressed and holding back tears until someone comes over and asks if everythings ok. Sometimes I'll cry and get super anxious and I just can't deal with anything and I just stand there because I don't know what to do or go. I also hate being by myself so anxiety attacks happen all the time for me! And something that makes it worse is that I'm an overthinker so whenever something good happens I'll think of every possible outcome especially the bad ones.

So true. I was diagnosed with anxiety and I my panic attacks aren’t like running around, screaming, not being able to breathe, or anything like that, but I just stay silent and breathe heavily and sometimes jerk suddenly or make whining noises.
Yes absolutely thank you for bring awareness to this!! Makes me feel much better
this is incredibly true. most of my family doesn’t understand that anxiety attacks can look exactly like either, and for me it’s usually the second one so they usually just tell me I’m fine and that I’m being overdramatic
Can relate its so hard to get through
