    I don't think I have social anxiety, and I don't have panic attacks, but the part of over thinking and being too worried about what other people think and thinking everyone secretly hates u was really relatable, I think that almost everytime I wanna hang out or just go and talk to someone. But it doesn't happen to me with strangers, bc I know that they probably aren't gonna see me again

      Yeah anxiety disorders can still be present even if you don’t have “attacks,” as long as you’re anxious to the point that it makes your day feel disorderly, it’s probable that you have one.
      Worrying to the point that it’s abnormal and interrupts day-to-day life or (in your case) makes social interactions straining can be a sign that you’re not a normal amount of stressy. 100% valid, anxiety attacks or not.

      I didn't have the auditory questions about what others thought of me for what I considered a panic attack. It just felt like tv static and would do actions or say as much was needed to drown it out till it went away.
      I made my own mantras to repeat faster as needed to put it out in better form.
      I didn't really have people I wanted to talk to, so I enjoyed going out to browse art/craft stores and sketching by the ocean.

    When I was in middle school, I had this fear of heart disease. Just the idea of blood clotting in my arteries, and my heart stopping at any time (without me knowing), really terrified me as a kid.
    My school was having an assembly at the gym. We were all sitting in the bleachers, and they had a presenter entertain the crowd. As the event was taking place, I was contemplating about my "vulnerable heart" getting clogged by heart disease. As a result, my chest began to tighten, my breathing was miniscule, and my arms froze in place. It felt like my entire body was shutting down, which only increased my anxiety even more. I started to hyperventilate, and wheezed uncontrollably. Everyone stared at me, and the faculty took me into the nurse's office. Whether the event was postponed because of me, I didn't know for sure.
    At the nurse's office, the paramedics arrived and asked me what was wrong. In a fit of tears, I told them about my fear of heart disease, and I genuinely thought I was going to die. After they calmed me down, they explained to me that I was having a "panic attack". My body acted in self defense because my brain was in such distress. Back then, I didn't know that the mind had such a powerful effect on the human body. It was quite the eye-opening experience, let me tell you.
    Nowadays, I've learned to compartmentalize my fears and anxieties by taking deep breaths, and writing them down on paper. Sometimes creativity can come from cathartic releases.

      I’d had something like this, but instead of heart disease, it was pretty much any fatal disease. If my arms were aching, I’d complete overshadow the idea that i just worked out, and assumed that I had a terrible muscle infection. I was indeed such a hypochondriac, and it drove everyone else around me crazy whenever I’d talk about my health concerns.

    The first time I ever had a panic attack was on an overnight school trip. I was staying in a tent with some girls who I was sort of friendly with but we weren't friends, while everyone else was out hanging out at the 'party'.
    I was so scared of leaving the tent to go do anything with anyone because I just had a recent massive falling out with my two best friends and I knew I'd be alone,and my phone was almost dead with nowhere to charge it,and I started panicking.
    I kept telling myself "No no no I promised myself I wouldn't do this again" and I kept repeating it until I was having a full blown panic attack in my tent.
    I had this moment of clarity though when I heard a sudden loud boost of a song I recognized,and I realized what was happening,and did everything I'd heard online to fet myself out of the panic attack.
    Still scary to think about what could've happened if I hadn't had that moment of clarity because I had started to hyperventilate

    • @Starzy2

      You're really lucky, my first panic attack was also at a school trip.
      I was alone and I started hallucinating sounds (due to short sleep), heart pounding, overthinking, crying and derealizating, I thought I was going crazy. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore my bff appeared, she really saved me, I hugged her instinctively.
      She told me I could of asked for help, but in that moment it just didn't appear on my mind with all the overthinking and panic, and if i had gone to ask help whatsoever it would've added more overthinking because all my life I had never asked help for emotional distress. :)
      Wish you a great life, hope nothing like that happens to you.

    I just had one of my worse anxiety attacks a few days ago. I was crying, couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, and threw up multiple times. Hearing you talk about this was like looking into a mirror. I have these thoughts all the time and it is an endless struggle. I'm on anxiety meds which are helping a ton. I'm doing better with my anxiety, but it's still an uphill battle. I am in a new place right now so to cope I'm taking my copy of The Lost Heir everywhere with me. I have my squishmallows to cuddle with. I hate being like this. Also She-Ra and The Princesses of Power is my favorite show of all time. This video made me feel less alone. You've changed someone's life by making this video, you've changed my life. Thank you.

    One time when I was venting to a friend about my social anxiety and insecurities they said that I should grow up and it’s all in my head and that I’m a selfish drama queen that seeks attention
    I really can’t control having emotional outbursts or panic attacks and my friend said “what about my feelings? Why can’t you think about the people around you that have to deal with your problems? The world doesn’t revolve around you.”
    It hurts when you’re accused of being selfish for having actual feelings and insecurities you’re sensitive about/can’t control 😢

    I think the worst part about a panic attack is that the symptoms stress you out even more:
    My heart is beating too fast, my chest hurts and I can barely breathe: I must be having a heart attack!
    Doesn’t matter how many times I have a panic attack I’ll always feel that way. Panic attacks also make me feel almost disconnected from the world, like I’m dying, literally.

    Therapy/counseling is magic.
    I used to have a intense fear and anxiety of bees. Which is not a good fear to have. I barely went outside and felt an intense terror in my stomach whenever I did go outside. But then I went to go see a counsellor. He was really nice and we played a few games like uno and shaping clay. We made little clay bees and talked about it. Then when I noticed myself going outside, I didn’t feel anxious or scared. And when a bee flew by me, I thought it looked cute. Instead of running for my life!

I'm so happy that this video exists. and not to say I look forward to my next panic attack, but when one inevitably does occur again, I'll definitely try distracting myself. maybe I'll find myself a nice candle too ^^ it's gotta beat stewing in the feeling as a way to punish myself for something I decided I did wrong

    I was in a very toxic relationship with someone a couple of years back. The last time they tried to contact me was because they had a panick attack, and even though we hadn't spoken in over a year, he saw me as a safe space and I took the time to listen to him. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to handle the situation as well as I could've hoped and had to completely break contact with him out fear of getting back into the toxic relationship we had.
    It took me many years to learn that we just couldn't be anything other than strangers.
    I still hope he's doing OK on his own and that I did my best to help him, the best that I could with what I had.

    When you sniffed that candle it’s actually a coping mechanism. I was taught it when I went in for therapy. I called it the 5 senses so like you find 5 things you see 4 things you can touch 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. Personally I found that really good at helping me stay distracted

      I haven't been to therapy or diagnosed with anything but large groups of people and social settings tend to be a problem for me. I don't wear much jewelry but I've started to get in the habit of wearing a particular heart shaped necklace with raised bumps and whenever a situation is becoming too much for me I hold and feel the necklace and focus on my breathing. I've occasionally found myself reaching for the necklace on the rare day I'm not wearing it.

    Love the video! I can relate to some of this, but these help me when dealing with friends I know who have severe social anxiety. My own anxieties make me constantly feel like it's my fault and they don't wanna hang out with me, even if I know it's nothing to do with me and I can't help like a professional can. It just hurts because I miss them and feel like I'll lose them or they will find friends that can make them feel better and it's because I'm not good enough.
    Using the time to focus on my hobbies and work on my own life, talking to my therapist etc. It just hurts missing them. Thank you for dealing with the dump, just getting emotional thinking about it. I want to be understanding but I miss them.

    I've struggled with social anxiety for 6 years, most of my teen years. I've always struggled to explain it to people who don't realise it can take over your life just like any other mental illness, I had panic attacks for years and it got so bad I couldn't go to school or leave my house, I barely passed my GCSE exams and missed several years of education. I still can't cope with big groups and I started anti-depressants over a year ago but it can still be isolating, ive only managed to keep two friends through my teen years. Its so good to see someone on the internet talking about this condition ❤

    The part with the old lady made me cry. I wish I would have experienced kindness like that. All my friends I ever had left me in the most toxic ways possible without talking to me. Just like that, a friend, a best friend for years, suddenly started ignoring me, and then after a year texted me that they dont want to be friends with me anymore. These experiences made those fears of mine even worse, because I cant think " nah Im just anxious everything will be fine" anymore... I have one best friend who is also my lover and I am grateful for them. I dont even want any other friends anymore.

      I have anxiety problems as well, the best thing you can do? Count out of order. Your brain can't panic and count out of order at the same time.
      Example, saying it out loud works best, "1, 8, 13, 2, 20, 12, 14, 6..etc"
      I hope that helps. Or even blurt out something crazy that has nothing to do with the situation. It makes my brain go, "...Wait, wut??"
      List random things that have no connection to one another. It can even be a game if you make it into one. Especially if you have a friend with you to help destress. They can go, "Favorite subject?" You can go, "I think I can lick my elbow! Wanna see?" The more stupid the better. Because if you're laughing you're not panicking.
      Hope it helps.

    I have social anxiety too...I was diagnosed with it since year 8 (or 7th grade for other people) and I have had many panic attacks up to now where I've only just gotten out of high school and started working a part time job.
    I hate it when my heart races and my head spins in a real stressful situation and I shake to the point where my legs can hardly stand, but I just try and either get on with what I was doing before and try and focus on that or I try and distract myself with videos and books.

    "It really is that easy sometimes, but It doesn't always feel like it."
    Accurate. My anxiety is exactly like yours, the cutting and everything.
    About a year ago, My mom bought almond milk because she thought I liked it, but I didn't. I much preferred dairy but I didn't say anything because What if she freaked out about it because she spent so much money on almond milk, or she thought I had somehow been lying to her? Somehow, the topic got brought up in therapy and my therapist told me to ask my mom. In my head I said "absolutely not" but I promised her I would.
    So after my therapy session, I got in the car and my mom said "How'd it go?
    "Good, but there's one thing she said I may want to ask you."
    "Sure! What's up?"
    "Um can we switch to dairy milk? I like it more than almond."
    "Sure, just finish the gallon we have at home, okay?"
    It is that easy to ask for help, or advocate how you feel.
    Edit: I did not think a story about me being too scared to ask for milk would get so much attention. ty!

      It might help from a logical standpoint to switch roles. You are your mom, you bought the milk because you thought your daughter would like it. Would you prefer to be told that she doesn't? How would you respond?
      Good for you for saying something. Avoidance behavior is the worst thing we can do overtime to any anxiety trigger. Small controlled steps that get bigger are the way to teach your brain that it doesn't need to be scared, because it has a plethora of experiences large and small to back it up. Logic doesn't stop anxiety, but it can help us understand how it works. Trying to treat ourselves how we would to treat others in our shoes is important in not beating ourselves up.

      It may be easy for some people to ask for help or convey their emotions, ( not trying to be mean or anything in ANY way) but for me I never ask for help because I’m always wondering what people think of me and etc , all the feelings of anxiety even though I haven’t ever been diagnosed . And it takes so much work for me to ask my mom or even my grandma or anyone in my family or even anyone on the internet that is my friends for help or something like I’m thinking in my head what will they say? How will they respond ? Etc etc etc... and it just tortures my poor head with these emotions. ( sorry for sharing this, but not all anxiety is the same, and some people are just self conscious , shy people and it’s harder for them to convey stuff, like me,) thanks for listening 💜
