I am 12 years old and my name is Emily and I have serveir anxiety and I was born in Gainesville and I grew up in palatka Florida and now I live in Georgetown Kentucky like almost a year in a couple months I will be 13 and I am doing much better now and I am not being bullied in school anymore 😭😢😭😔
Hun, you shouldn't tell strangers (especially on the internet) your name, age and where you live.
I hope you continue to do better & are not getting bullied.
Go Emily! See yourself strong. Think about being strong and what you can do to be stronger. And it will be so! It is not magic it is Physics said Albert Einstein! I don't like bullies either and you are brave as can be! You rock and so got thos! (P.s. don't tell strangers where you live especially online Rule #1 how to become stronger)❤
Way to go Emily! It's super cool how aware you are of yourself at 12.
I'm 51 years old, I wasn't as aware as you til I was in my 40s.
Can you imagine how much more I'd know now if I had known at 12 instead of 40.
Your way ahead of your time.
@@mylink.orb17 agree. Bullys are the most insecure scared people ever.
I've realized that there issue's they despise in others is either their jealous because they lack something they see in you or someone bullied or intimadated them and they pass that feeling it gave them to another thinking it no longer exists. But 🤔 it does.
It's not what you lack. It's all about being okay with it and owning it.
Not to please others but to open yourself up to the possibilities of growth, knowledge and understanding .
Because if you can or if you can't.
The only person that matters is you. Not anybody else. Let them worry about their own issues. Your too busy with your growth of self.
If You're good or if you bad. That does not define you. You are mush more than what you can do.
This video helped so much. My daughter suffers from generalized and separation anxiety due to her father kidnapping her when she was 4 years old. She was completely normal when she returned home until she was 7 years old (in Jan. 2016). Her friend asked her on the bus if she saw the news because there were two men in our neighborhood kidnapping children in a red or white truck. Even though her friend had the story completely wrong, my daughter became very fearful of men and red and white trucks.
Her fear robbed her of living a normal life where she can’t be *anywhere* by herself. If she wants a snack, or has to use the restroom, etc. Me or her little brother has to be with her. Her fear grew into hearing sounds and seeing things that weren’t there. Her psychiatrist confirmed that her trauma stemmed from the word “kidnapping” since she actually experienced it, and considering the fact that she was fine until she had that convo on the bus.
My daughter has been going through this fear for 3 years last month. She will be 11 on February 9th and is concerned that she will not overcome this fear. I’ve suffered from panic phobia and agoraphobia for 3 years when my kids were babies. My daughter thought that her fear would only last 3 years because that’s how long my lasted. She has had four therapists and countless medicine that have not worked. (The medicine was a last resort since they freak me out, especially for a child lol) I came to a realization that maybe the meds didn’t work because they all started off on the lowest dosage to see how she’d do. All they did was make her stomach hurt, so her provider would start her on a new one. She’s only switched therapists due to my car not being reliable, and my work schedule changing frequently (not being able to make every appointment). Not to mention, her and I not being big fans of the therapists she’s had. Thanks to this video, I now know the right questions to ask.
Carlita Washington oh dear, that is just awful. I’m so sorry but you’re such a good Mom for validating this and getting her help. That is so important! I didn’t have the same supportive Mother. I had a similar situation when I was a toddler. I was sexually abused by my father. He threatened to kill my mother and spent the next 12 or so years threatening to ‘find us’. We moved a lot, changed our names and my sister and I always lived in fear of men, even ones in authority like doctors or police officers. I was in so much fear for my whole childhood, had nightmares and severe anxiety just like your daughter. By the time I got to my teenage years, I developed social anxiety, had fainting spells, migraines and vision loss - even vomiting when I had to go to a social function. Over the years this has now developed to the point of being 35 years old, suicidal and severely depressed. The trauma has severely disrupted my life. I don’t want to alarm you but thought to share my story so you can get hopefully a little more insight to how your child maybe feeling. Please take good care of your daughter and ensure she continues treatment. You’re a good mom, I can tell. Keep being awesome. She needs you.
I would really recommend Emotion Code Therapy. My psychiatrist uses this method and it really helped. My daughter had abandonment phobia when I use to work alot and we have done a couple of session and she is getting much better. I hope it helps
@@rachelblackwell5207 Oh my gosh Rachel! That is awful! I am just now seeing your message for some reason. I will be praying for your recovery as we are strong believers in Christ. I hate you had to experience this and are still struggling with trauma 💔 I’ve suffered from fainting spells since I was 5 years old and still don’t know what causes them. I didn’t know that could be the cause of trauma until you mentioned it. I don’t know if this will help but since I had agoraphobia, I was scared to go inside of a building to seek professional help. So I posted Bible scriptures around my room so that when I woke up in the morning, the first thing I saw was positive messages to reassure my scary thoughts. I have been where you are and begged God to kill me. I was too scared to commit suicide but I wanted to die. As time went on, I kept repeating those scriptures. One of my favorite starts with, “Things that are lovely, pure, and of good report, I think on these things.” I had to pretend like I wasn’t suffering mentally in order to reverse my negative thoughts that triggered panic attacks. I was the true definition of “Fake it until you make it” and it worked! I hated the way I healed but I was able to eat, sleep, and ride in cars again. Also, practicing the breathing exercises such as: Inhaling through your nose for 2 seconds (counting 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi) then exhaling for 4 seconds through your mouth counting the same way. Another way of breathing was inhaling for those 2 seconds and holding your breath, then exhaling for 4 seconds. Also another tip, is when you begin to panic, refocus your mind on your surroundings, such as: “I have on a blue shirt. I’m sitting on the couch. The walls are white”...etc. I didn’t mean to make this into a novel but I truly want to snatch this devastation from anyone who suffers from this. Please feel free to DM me your number if you ever want to talk. I know I don’t know you, but I feel like I love you 🤟 Thank you so much for your kind words. I needed that reminder of being a good mother 😘
You are appreciated
@@jovannawacheleski2630 Thank you very much for this recommendation. I’m gonna mention that at our next session. Update: We found a great therapist and my daughter is completely over her fear problem! She actually prefers to be alone now lol!
This was me! I got diagnosed with anxiety disorder at 17. I’m 42 now.
Same here, diagnosed @ 17. Going on 39.
My anxiety began in elementary school though, I remember that much clearly.
Mine anxiety started in middle school and I just turned 39. Never taking medication knowing is not going to cured me so instead I try to exercise and eat right to help me out. I know there's no cured for it so it sucks
I wish my parents would've realized how completely frazzled I was at the age of 8.
My mom is a narcissist though, having a little girl on meds would've made her 'look bad'
Wow, she sounds just like my mom. I just started meds a few days ago, finally. I hope you're doing better ❤
Your the way you are for a reason. Something created it and that stuck with til you believed it. Then you became it so you accepted it without even challenging it.
Why?
I say... Why Not!
Some good info. Will be watching more of these.
That's me the description you have here in this video. It started at the age of 6. Now 63 and have had a diagnosis of Bi-polar ll. I am completely off meds now for 10 year's. I did have some serious manic states and went back on meds until they became manageable. 3 time in ten years. I like and appreciate you for bringing light to mental health breaking down barriers. In 1995 I decided to work in field of behavioral health and did for ten year's. Watching you lit a fire under me and decided to go back to work in behavioral health. Thank you for being you.
Great interview and advice (some really stupid comments not reflective of the quality that MedCircle brings!)
Thank you for sharing
Hello Medcircle, Thank you for all your efforts to provide such useful helpful videos. I can’t access the first episode. Could you please provide me with a link ?
Maybe the library or your child's pediatrician has a copy of the DSM. The doc may even be able to provide you photocopies of the terms you are researching.
The inputs that are given by Dr. Ho are very interesting and helpful specially in my case as a mental health instructor and advocate, I am learning a lot of things that I was able to use in my lectures. I look forward to learn more thru the inputs given by Dr. Ho .. thank you.
I hear everything you are saying. I was between 7 -12 years old and blocked this all out. No friends at school,feeling I didn’t belong,was always afraid,pretending I was sick to stay home with mum,the bullying. It all makes sense now. I’m starting here at this age and working forward now I’m 51 . With looking after my dying mother at home with cancer and a co dependent of an alcoholic father I can see now. Thankyou ❤️ I also think I was born with a mental disorder. Vulnerable and as life happened I got worse. I’m now borderline personality disorder and Generalized anxiety disorder and GP says I’m bipolar 2. I’m still lost. 🇦🇺🌹
@the sewer pig I agree
I know there isn't much research on autism in girls still but pleaseeeee it's very rarely talked about and I would love to see a video about it :)
I think the low rate of interviewing doctors before handing kids off is due to two main things: 1) Insurance. Many people have no health insurance coverage for mental health, and those that do have it may only have 1 or 2 providers to choose from. In which case choosing comes down to business hours and location more than anything. 2) we've been taught to believe that we aren't allowed to interview these providers. That doing so is insulting and or questions their ability to do their job.
She could cure my crippling depression.
Prozac made me mean , I did some crazy shit on that drug, then they put me on zoloft that made me sleep all day, then my doctor after hearing my life story told me I didn't need drugs or therapy, I needed to find a pillow and scream in it because he said I was just angry, and he didn't know how I even got up and walked around after all i had been thru.
That's a terrible (in the negative sense) of a doctor.
OCD is an anxiety disorder though, but I understand that it of course may be mixed up and confused with other types of anxiety disorders and misdiagnosed.
Exactly!
I do take issue with some of the things this person is saying. Parents are spending less and less time with their children and children are not getting the sleep that they need. These things can affect a child’s experience of feeling unsafe and anxiety. I work with children and I see a direct correlation between lack of routine, schedule, (which affects quality of sleep) and lack of quality time with kids and anxiety in children. Sometimes the only advocates children have is the people taking care of them which is childcare workers and teachers....not parents. If you look at the statistics of how much time parents are spending with children it is very eye opening.
Bex JH You totally didn’t get what the overall content of this great information re. anxiety and children. You’re the kind of person who looks at the ‘glass half empty’... it’s very clear you are the type of person who will find ‘faults’ in every situation.
I have a friend who is still on "beta blockers"....for the last 20 years.... she also uses my technique...she says it helps....
Well I hope this video isn't treating this as something abnormal.
Every person is struggling with something like that but on different levels. It's crucial for kids because it's the first time they are accounting something like that.
Nice video! Thank you for this information. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness and involve excessive fear or anxiety. Anxiety treatment in Total Mental Wellness is available. We help manage mood disorders effectively.
Oh my, you really have to understand the confusion and stress that most parents have been facing. Yes they "should" be asking questions but your reaction is so strong that it feels like a "put down" that they don't. They are expecting you to guide them through the process. I never found reliable information about where to start. So others may not have been able to find that either.
What are you talking about? What's a put down?
Why would anyone expect a stranger on the internet to guide them through something so personal and important? That's what actual face to face doctors are for.
You never found reliable info about where to start?? Probably why they stressed the importance of actually ASKING questions.
Put your perceived put-downs aside and find out what the child needs.
Im 13 iv been trying to say this to my parents this and I have had anxiety and j have problems with over thinking and problems with my feelings and i m not sure what to do yet what do you recommend
Seek out help from your school counselor
Yeah I had major anxiety problems as a child (which followed me into my teen years and my adulthood as well) due to toxic home life and bullying at school. One of my teachers insisted that I had ADHD and that my parents should put me on medication for it (I was in grade school) 🙄😒 She was a nasty person which probably explains why I was having anxiety issues in her class to begin with.
moderate use of alcohol????
i want her as my doctor
Hear, hear.
My daughter isn’t overly anxious but she tells me she’s scared to go upstairs in our house alone, if it’s just me and her at home and I go out of the room within minutes she’s shouting out for me and comes running in panic. She three and a half and this has been going on longer than 6 months. Should I see a doctor?
I know I'm 2 years late but you should see a doctor especially since she's young just to make sure it's nothing serious
My daughter didn't walk yet she scared when I m try to get exercise to walk she cry and don't want to walk she is two years old
I think personality disorders should be reserved for adults, just because kids are still learning at 14 they are still learning how to deal with emotions. I think talking treatments and teaching kids how to understand and deal with their emotions is a lot better use of the therapist and parents time and money
I’ve had anxiety disorders since i was a child. I wasn’t diagnosed until i was in my early 20s and that’s my childhood and teen years I’ll never get back thinking i was a freak or weird when it really had an explanation. Children can be mentally ill just as easily as they can get cancer or diabetes and education in parents is key to making sure they are heard and treated properly from an early age. I’d give anything to go back to 20 years ago and get diagnosed instead of having to wonder what was wrong with me my whole life
I’m 12 I just use cbd for my anxiety lmao😂 my mom bought it for me it helps
I throw up when I’m very nervous for an exam. Could that be considered anxiety? 😥
Cecilia Dey is if you can, talk to a professional. i used to dry heave before presentations. i have generalized anxiety disorder.
Yes, and I speak from several decades of experience. Vomiting and fainting are my most feared symptoms.
yes definitely... see a professional but also do the work. Grounding helps to override such physical symptoms bc it forces the body to override them
I wish my son had a cleanliness phobia 😂
👍❤️
👌👌👌👌👌
It wasn't help when I was a kid
Can't get video to play
Mj Brooklyn it doesn't premiere for another 25 hours yet, it will play after that
We Asian are the kindest people!
Yes and yes, but metroprolol and propranalol cause hair losssss. There must be better beta blockers out there.
Indigo Gray interesting about propanolol as I am on that and thought the thinning hair was genetic. Good to know!
Kara Graham they usually won’t mention it to heart patients, because not taking the drug is more dangerous than hair loss. But there are betablockers that won’t cause that.
Does she have blue lenses or...?
Obviously
I’ve met a lot of Confederate supporters in Seattle, WA and they are poor. I thought they were beautiful. Sad. They are rebels which is reassuring. America!
I think she somehow looks like a character in cartoon
no offense
Why are they sitting so far apart from each other???
Id have anxiety to. They come in to the world in the first 9months and once born. You see your mom and doctor go into the next room to decide if they want you to live or die(The Governor of Virginia told the press). In the United States they have been passing Laws to be able to kill the child even after they just are born. I guess "it's against women s rights to not be able to kill the parasite living inside her". (All women on the Democrat side)
This woman is way to loud which translates to abrasive! Not good.
