*gets anxiety over not have anxiety in a while*
Tuna Fish Games I feel "normal" very infrequently, and as soon as I remember I don't have anxiety for a few.....comes right back
Yes, everytime I feel normal I start to think I'm schizophreniac or "should I even feel this way?"
Tuna Fish Games
This is a common feeling for those with anxiety problems
Saaame
Its like.. Am i wrong? I'll have a panic attack! I'll die! Something like that xD
stop listening to sad music to decrease my anxiety?!!!
NEVER!
parsa fakhar I agree. I'd rather listen to nothing than lame ass mainstream pop bullshit.
😂😂😂
Try "onlap - motivation"
grow up bitch
Opeth is life

Ah thanks!
"Read a book before bed"
*Reads my favorite book*
*Can't sleep over the death of a character*
Nonfiction is your friend.
LOL!
Read a book about life. Then you’ll get plenty of sleep and you’ll feel good as new.
Living makes me anxious
Of course! It makes everyone anxious :'(
Same.
keep fighting Army!
Mint Yoongi same
a definite anxiety inducer for me is conscious procrastination. Like, you procrastinate and you KNOW you can do the work but decide not to. I also call it "next level laziness"
Actually read psychology on procrastination. It's not merely laziness.
I think I am a master of procrastination 😂
Again. Read psychology underlying procrastination. You may have a fear of failure that you need to play out in your mind. For me, a part of it was actually fear of success.
Then do 9/10ths of it the day before it's due and the final tenth before you turn it in
Depression procrastination
Breathing makes me anxious
Jyky Krete serious
Jyky Krete why are you trying to acknowledge me?
Jyky Krete oke
lightly salted person when i take a shower and i see my chest moving a bit i start to panic cuz my heart is moving im wierd too :p
lightly salted person hehheh your cute
Listening to happy music when you are sad can be worse than listening to sad music. The contrast between your emotions and the stimuli can be jarring and may cause the mind to reject the happiness as fake and alienating. You need to take advantage of emotional contagion and listen to music that nearly matches your current emotional state and then gradually improves.
I like to listen to depressive songs and I feel it matches my sould, I don't know if it's bad but it feels good.
Well said
Gravity by wage war if u like metal core is a good one
I like sad songs that somehow make you feel empowered or motivated.
Totally agree, whean im down i rather listen to other people who are down, makes me feel less alone
Being in public or crowded places gives me horrible anxiety, so while I'm going to school I've taken cashier jobs to force myself to have conversations with people. It's helped a little!
T Vanna23 That’s awesome! Baby steps are good but don’t overwork yourself. If you feel anxious go to the bathroom for like 5 min. Your health is important.
T Vanna23 That is very smart. I did the same with my crippling anxiety, and it truly does help. Just putting yourself in these situations over and over again until your brain learns to cope.
You are doing the right things!!
Edit; I still have anxiety but it is not as nearly as bad as it was back then. I had a lot of death around me, and that triggered a lot of stuff once again. But, I am very glad you brought that up bc it is what I did and it really, really helped a lot. It did take some time, but I am extremely thankful for it. 💗💗💗 Keep going
I wish I had a job too put me in situations like that. Need to find one asap
Me too, i can't breath whenever I talk to new people, (like guards in a new school or cashiers or etc)
Way da go!
I do almost all of those......Sh!t.
Nigetai same tho
Nigetai I do all of this almost too
Almost? I do ALL of these.
Nigetai Ik, me too lol
Same here
To be honest this animation actually creeped me out at the beginning 😂
The animation alone gave me anxiety
Actually sad music after break up helps me vent my emotiions and calm down ^^'
FluF kins I love depressing things. I went through a horrible relationship and breakup and the sad music helped but after a while I decided to only listen to music that didn't make me think about him and that helped a lot. So I guess it's good for a short time. (:
T Vanna23
Yea ^_^
Imagine Dragons though
Thank you very much!
I have some advice, too. I hope this will help you:
• Time management. Make a planner with important and necessary things. Write notifications on your phone so you'll get them on time if you forget about them.
• Doing something. Yes, when I'm anxious about something (test, presentation etc) I go and prepare everything I will need for that thing. Work makes me think about work 😅
• Hobbies. I. Love. DRAWING! I draw every day and it helps me a lot to deal with stress. Find your own hobby and do it when you're anxious :>
I really hope this will help and sorry for bad english 😅
Have a great day!
😊
How do we break the habits tho?
First step is being self aware. We can do a video on how to get rid of an addiction or bad habit if you like. Just email us at Catherine@psych2go.net and we can add it to request. :)
JUST DO IT!
tasty rainbro. as amazing as that sounds. It's not that easy for people with anxiety disorder. Your brain makes it mentally and sometimes even phisicaly nearly impossible. But tnx for the seport either way :)
Determination
Magic NineLives I like following the Douglas Bloch channel. He's a depression and anxiety counselor, so he gives real tips on how to deal with those.
That moment when you are number 7, but you don't have friends, and don't know how to make some 👍👍👍
Florentina Flo hi
Florentina Flo you got a friend now
Florentina Flo I'm in kind of the same situation :(
Same here
big phat mood
i can attest to all of those...I survived cancer twice while having half of my face amputated in the process.. a tumor destroyed my jaw and changed everything I once knew.. I decided to start my own channel to inspire others who feel ugly and not good enough for this world..I moved to Barcelona to build a new life. I want to show others that it's all about positivity and energy.. and that with the right mindset, you can overcome any mental or physical hurdle if u just learn to love yourself! positive energy trumps any physical shell! go check me out and subscribe if u want to help me reach my goal of helping others who lack self-love.. it would mean the world to me!!
Keep inspiring! :)
Thank you.
Subscribed! Nice channel^^
William Gaule thank you brother. means a lot to hear.
❤️X
Hey where is number 3
Axel Hustle they excluded it to make us feel more anxious
They're secretly valve
We actually forgot it, but you can find it here: psych2go.net/8-everyday-habits-that-are-making-you-anxious/ =)
it's actually no. 4 in disguise
Axel Hustle number 4 eat number 3
Psych2Go's first horror themed video? Pretty Thrilling.
Exactly what I needed after getting up too early Sunday morning and feeling anxious about the day abd the Monday that comes after.
This video made me anxious
I developed anxiety disorder because I walk so weirdly since I was 11 and now I'm 15. My family don't understand me.
065art _c.e Family will never understand you. Don't expect that ever, don't search for it, just love them for who they are and that will help the angry and isolating feelings
Do you mean physically walking weirdly or you sometimes keep walking back and forth in an area, usually thinking about stuff? Btw I'm sure there's one person in your family who understands you. That includes the ones you don't live with (cousins, aunts, uncles etc). It's annoying but always keep your love to them
065art _c.e lmao same but i changed the way i walk When i was 17
MKK GANG MEMBER ..nah you are lucky because when you reach 18 you can do what ever you want to
065art _c.e nah not on my country lol
While nice, this art style gives me anxiety... Everything (like the eyes and stuff) keeps moving and it triggers my anxiety. @_@ like, please stay still...
Yeah, the eyes are creepy
Ashley Henney NOOO SHHHHH I cant unsee :(
love the new intro and animation style
This animation is genuinely so creepy tho.
Pathetic Goldfish
😂 👌
I’ve been stuck on my phone and computer, being less social, and have been listening to moody music that’s been making me so anxious over the years.
But now that I’ve watched this video, I think it’s time that I’d go back into the outside world!
Maybe it's related to the social media but obsessive news watching / reading causes me no end of anxiety. I'm diagnosed OCD, and news watching happens to be my compulsion but I suspect I'm not alone in this.
William Gaule Ahhhhh!!!! I feel you!! I do same, have had therapists tell me to stop several times. It is a compulsion, and I sometimes feel anxious if I'm not scrolling through and listening to something (generally news or true crime stuff).
One thing that is interesting, a lot of people with these same issues don't have enough of a certain hormone(I can't remember, maybe adrenaline), and so we search for things to fill that void.
I don't watch the news, I have no idea of whats happening in the world right now lol, except for what happens at home or at work and I don't f care about the news, some people say it's good to stay informed and blah blah blah,but c'mon 98% of what the media shows is useless and biased, so why bother. for my own sanity, I'd rather not watch/read it. I come from a country where the crime rate is high, so if I watch the news I won't leave my room (I already don't lol)
Mahatma Kane Jeeves Yep. That's exactly how I feel. It doesn't help that I'm a South Korean resident during times of threats of nuclear war. That's all calming down now but my anxiety remains.
I think the hormone you're referring to is serotonin. I get migraines, too, which have links to serotonin deficiencies. I think people with anxiety actually produce too much adrenaline and causes us to be in a constant fight or flight state. I could be wrong on this so please let me know if I am.
Anyway, it's good to know I'm not the only one.
rnk. I'd like to live my life a bit more like you. It sounds like you're just doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done. OCD habits are really hard to break though. One thing I going helpful was doing Cognative Behavioural Therapy with my doctor. Anybody have anything to share on that?
That could explain a lot of things with me... 😓
What if you don’t have friends/anyone to hang around with
Liv R
don't worry, you aren't alone. I don't either
I feel the exact same way too and by the time it hits me after 3 weeks of not having any human contact/interaction, my anxiety and depression turn to shit.....
Lilly Love Thank you :)
Liv R you were born to be alone and you will die alone. Get use to being alone.
Hi I’m your friend now
Agree thanks
Looks like I need to eat alot of fish now
Viny San don’t do that to yourself... you’ll get mercury poisoning
I eat alot of fish and berries, yet I still have a lot of anxiety and a few anxiety attacks per week. I need spinach
Fish are friends not food
Pun Boi your friends are yummy
Viny San
*DIVES INTO OCEAN TO CHASE FISH*
Great content! And the animation is delightful!
This was very helpful, the number one thing that we need to do to get better with anxiety is to be aware of this things. Thank you!
always very helpful stuff, thanks guys.
.
Eyy guys I really love your vids. it helps me get better everyday
Glad to hear! :)
2:31 "spend time with friends and love ones" nooooope! I love my room, my bed, comforter, pillows and my phone 😍
This video has been the answer to my prayers, I've been feeling like this for months and it's because of sleep deprivation and some if not most of these guilty pleasure habits. Only recently I started go to bed an hour or two earlier for work at 6:30am and I avoid caffeine in the mornings just warm milk or water. As well as avoiding sad music and keeping busy with tasks and focusing on my life and social life, financial goals, career goals and many other aspects of myself. With a healthy routine and diet and exercise and balancing work, family etc.
Over a day or two I felt the difference so quickly in my mood, thoughts, emotions, and I felt so energized and no longer irritable I took a complete 180. Hope this helps someone out there with this issue especially introverts like myself :)
What do you do if you are so anxious you cant eat, and when you do you're even more anxious? I become upset with myself when I do and it tends to cause panic attacks. I don't know what to do.
Whenever I'm feeling anxious I listen to BTS's music, it calms me down
i really loved the style of this video ((
#9 me watching this at 2am and school is tomorrow
Great video as always. I can really relate to this, and some of these I didn’t even realize.
Awesome intro btw!
These videos are a great service
Incredible production!
I have literally done ALL of these things! Explains a lot!
Wow I do all of these, no wonder I have anxiety
Have you taken a break from any of these habits? :)
It's all about finding a balance. Too much lying brings me anxiety but also too much doing things and not letting myself rest brings me anxiety too. The same is with isolating and too much socializing. Anxiety is there not to make your life miserable, but to remind you that you have to change something. And if you refuse, you'll stay stuck.
You guys are so right it almost scares me! Cool video
You guys are the best!!
loving the new intro, the splashing old one was making me anxious!
“There are things that may make you more anxious” *played noise that makes my anxiety grow*
I couldn't agree more, I salute you Psych2Go!!
This was a great reminder for me thanks
I... Do all of these
And then he said it was causing guilt for not using time more wisely.. So accurate:/
I absolutely agree with all of them except the one about music, listening to sad music while i am sad or anxious, makes me feel like i am not alone, and gives me hope that other people might be going through this too
Those are good tips indeed, i am glad i've subscribed to this :)
this video gave me more anxiety than normal,thanks for telling us how to get rid of some anxiety,but if I don´t know how to break my habits
This was so helpful!!!!
I love this YT channel, I always learn something new about me watcing this kind of vid thanks psych2go!! Greetings from Argentina
Love the new animations !
Spencer Cook thank you for the feedback! We're glad you enjoy them :)
I am all above, this is why i feel so anxious when doing something i use to love
Could you make a video about careers in the mental health field? I’m a high school student and I’ve been researching some of them because I know for sure I want to go into this field. If you gave a general list of careers such as types of councilors, psychologists, or social workers, and gave a description of them and maybe a general scope of what they do, that would help tremendously. I always look forward to your videos, I can’t thank you guys enough for making them. Keep up the good work!!❤️
Great video
This is quality information
I tend to go bush walking or write down everything that's on my mind into a journal. Writing often helps me find a solution to a problem and just writing it down makes me feel like I manage to let my feelings out.
This is a good video and came up on my feed at the perfect time 👌
I LOVE this style
Wow thanks for all of the advice! c:
A Disappointment thanks for watching! Hopefully it helped ♡
Does anyone else love this new Psych2go?? Cause I freaking love it!
Thanks will try to lessen/stop these habits
I do almost everything mentioned here! That’s why my anxiety is getting worse
Thanx for the helpful info. Greetingz.
Holy crap, that video was scary.
This channel is so helpful...damn..
You should do a video on schizoid personality disorder. It's one of the least studied and understood personality disorders.
This video was very helpful.I've been doing almost all of these things and I have anxiety!I'm gonna go read now...goodnight.
THANK YOU WITH THE MUSIC THING. I already overstress myself habitually, and then people look at me like IM the one who’s crazy when I’d rather spend my free time happily dancing then listen to someone scream about how awful this world is
Well many of these things have helped me a lot
The artist of the music rarely gets credit 😧
Hi. I'm actually the animator for this. I also did the music, sound design, and original art as well. I'm credited as "Christian Verzosa" (my real name) in the credits. Theres no need to worry. I got my credit and payment. :)
Thank so much for this and all your videos. So helpful and even comforting.
Honestly relate heavily to this video...*deep sigh* But the first step is to be fully aware of it, right? Thank you.
Definitely going to keep this in mind and work against these bad habits that are just fueling it. Take care!
For me it really helps doing some excercise, usually is just a walk every other day, when i stop doing it, it makes more difficult for me going out when i need to. And also getting away from social media at least 1 hour and do anything else, i usually do this when i am too stressed but it really helps, and my last tip is DON'T MULTITASK, i realized that actually doesn't make me save time as i thought or the time i saved was just a little and i got a huge amount of anxiety (at least for me), just take your time, concentrate and enjoy anything you do. :)
I do all 8 of these almost daily. It might explain my constant state of extreme anxiety
I find listing to music that expresses what i think it feels like to have anxiety helps me work out any built up anxiety. Though I am usually jamming out and singing a long so that could be part of it. Happy music just doesn't give me the same release.
You can try getting to know people online, on disqus for exemple, this will give you some more confidence, and experienece, therefore will improve social skills without having to really risk anything
Hellooooo it's like 2 am where I am
Lmao. We might be from the same place.
pretender01011 its 3:45 for me lol
Tuna Fish Games Hey it's 3:46 where I am
Psych2Go really? I'm from California
Psych2Go now it's like 3:08
This is actually some really good advice
One time I could feel that I was on the verge of an emotional/mental breakdown, and I tried listening to a song that I liked to cheer myself up, but it didn’t work and I cried silently in my room by myself… good times…
Thank you 💛💛💛
Batool Ali ♥
The symptoms in this video describe my whole life.
Awesome.
sooo today i only slept like 5 hours, stayed up all day lying on the couch scrolling through social media and i skipped lunch and whenever i go home from school i drink iced coffee and I also don't have friends so I get used to be always alone and I keep repeating the same mellow songs which is probably the reason why i cry every night bc it reminds me of the stupidity i usually make.
ooooooh I wonder why i'm anxious....?
Sad music actually boosts me
Thanks
Well i'm not music people type (no sound is better)
But when i'm hear sad song or sad rhtym , it's attracted me and i'm sometimes still crying when already hear it many times.
I love this art style, it's freaky and cool
i do all of these combined great video
This explains my personality. I do everything on the list except drinking coffee. It's gonna be difficult to change these habits though, but eventually I'll change this for the better.
The outro music reminds me of the soundtrack of Tekkonkinkreet by Plaid
My life explained in a video.
Thanks btw.
*looking for more positive habit
Watching this video made me more anxious because it just confirmed how highly anxious I am.
Spending too much time alone? There's such a thing as "too much"?
I do have some....
Most of the habits listed
.
...
I mean all of them (though I'm not drinking coffee but craves for it sometimes, won't let the offer slip away if got one)
i got 1, and 5 to 8 XD that's why i feel like i'm losing it lately, Thanks for the heads up!
