Creating the feelings of love is what has taken me out of my depression. It can work for you too.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I hope your mental state and health improves. Take care.
We are not crazy or weird people we are a sensitive people
Great quote for my life now.
Yes be sensitive and be proud.
We will make the world a better place if we overcome our suffery

First of all, I am super super proud of you. I can relate to you a lot. I’ve suffered from anxiety since I was 15 and I felt guilty about it , about how I must be a burden to people to deal with. I bottle up emotions a lot and it led me to have panic attacks 2 months ago which felt like I was dying. My aunt passed away due to covid, my father passed away 6 years ago due to brain tumour and because of suppressing grief, I sort of developed health anxiety. For the first time I was on meds and then I decided to take control of myself for good. I went off meds, my panic attacks stopped ( it took some time though), fixed my sleep schedule, ate better food and even though I still feel anxious sometimes, I acknowledge the growth I’ve made. I’m also moving to uni in a few days to a different city, I’m also seeing a counsellor there. I’m very scared but I just assure myself that all of this is not life threatening, but is only my suppressed emotions. I just want to say, it’s very hard sometimes but just know that you’ll get through this, atleast that’s what I tell myself. Sending you lots of hugs and love❤️❤️❤️
Bless 💗
Thank you so much for this video. It has just made me feel a bit better.
As a med student I feel like dying before and during exam period because eventhough i am one of the best student regarding the results i have a very low self esteem and i dont know how to enjoy success and love myself, still am on antidepressant and xanax for a year soon. I think it is linked due to my parent traumatic divorce in my early teens. It sucks and I wish I could enjoy and be happy forever. Thanks for you story it was very relatable and I think you're a strong and brillant girl which deserve so much
You are so much stronger thank you even know! You deserve happiness and to be proud of yourself. Please reach out for support if you need it x
@@DrTashBinnie Thank you so much for your time, have a great weekend!
I’ve recently been diagnosed with GAD and depression, it’s really scary, the tablets ive just started taking have made me not want to leave my bed, my appetite completely went a few weeks ago and still struggling to eat anything,the suicidal thoughts are so bad I really hope I get better, very happy that you doing better
If u want we talk/connect
You probably need to change your medication. You should talk to your doctor. Your message was a month ago, I hope you’re feeling better now.
How are you feeling now😊
This video has helped me so much! I have struggled really badly with GAD and Panic disorder ever since breaking my leg in October 2020. Your video really made me feel like I wasn't alone, so thank you!! Thank you for also talking about taking Anti-depressants, I have been prescribed but am fearful of taking them (Health anxiety isn't fun) but your experience has made me feel a bit better about taking them now xx
What a lovely comment and thank you for sharing your story with me too. Sending lots of love xx
Your amazing. Thanks so much for your story.
I have gad and it's hell. Never ending it seems but thank for HOPE
These videos are very great and eye opening. Very brave for coming out
I appreciate that so much! Thank you lovely x
Thank you a lot for sharing your history. It helps a lot knowing that what I felt and feel,it’s not something that affects just me,you know? Thank you again,Tash!
I'm so glad! Mental illness sadly affects so many of us x
@@DrTashBinnie I deal with depression a lot I think mostly because I'm a gay guy I'm embarrassed by it.
Huge thanks for this video! Anxiety is terrible but we can crush it!
Aw thank you so much and ABSOLUTELY!
Can you tell me how can I crush it
Thank you so so much from a struggling F2 with a very similar story xx
You're so welcome! Hope you are well lovely x
An incredibly honest account Tash, you should be so proud that you had the guts to be able to make this video, it takes allot to put it all out there. 😊 I also have depression managed by SSRI’s, however before I got help by going to the doctors when I was feeling suicidal, I recognise allot of the symptoms that you felt. The message in essence was really just to say you’re not alone and to say thanks for your video it’s greatly appreciated. 😊
Aw what a lovely comment! Thank you so much :)
@@DrTashBinnie You’re welcome 😊 Thanks again for the video
you are such an angel
Inspirational♥️♥️
You are so strong gurl! Keep going xx
Thank you so much!! Lots of love xxx
I am a med student as well. I have anxiety and depression
You can do this BUT if affects you so much studying with the condition take a break bc your health comes first
I'm in tears 😢
Aw I'm sorry haha!
I believe it will be better in two years
Well, seeing the title i thought you were like me, but I study medecine as well, and started becoming a hypochondriac, and then I got more and more anxiety, panic attacks, i feel palpitations, i can't sleep it's horrible, even though i went to cardiologists who told me you have nothing, I'm still not sure if my problems are organic or psychological, albeit everyone is telling me that it's just psychological.
Thanks for sharing I love you so muchhh , I am 21 years old and I am suffering the same story as u , I was so happy in my life until the panic attacks disorder and GAD entered my life , I was diagnosed two months ago
Now I am trying to calm down my overthinking thoughts , trying to stay grateful for everything, knowing that it is still going around at sometimes but I am trying my best to deal with it , surround myself with positive people and keep pushing at my university, but the question I want to ask my dr said that my treatment needs the Cognitive behavioral therapy and a little bit of medication “paraxonat” the thing that till now I didn’t start yet in the medicine cz Im afraid a bit most of people and specifically here in middle east region they’re saying no its bad you’re still young and so on … what do you thing should I start trying at first the cbt ? Or start taking the med ? Thanks and sorry about my bad English , wael from lebanon
can you please make a video on things one can do to get out of depression... or if can reply..thts also fine...its been 5 years...still trying to figure out how everyone gt out of it
I’m studying to become a nurse and might even go to medical school in the future. I also have anxiety and depression. It’s really hard to live like this but I’m not giving up.
Never give up! But don't suffer alone - make sure you reach out for professional support!
Look at you you're such a sweetheart people suck
Did these experiences have any impact on your grades, I’m in a similar position and this is my concern?
With me yes, sadly , in 1 week i have final exams of junior year and i don’t know if I’ll pass them.. :(
Hi did u have physical symptoms like chest pain, lump in the throat sensation, tingling, breathing issues and stomach issues?.... I was dealing with them since 3 months..
It was in the beginning of this month that the lump in my throat sensation got worse and was not going for weeks... I was dying everyday.... I'm on SSRI since 12 days and I feel really really good already.. I'm coming back to living and I'll take them if I need them .... I'm no more ashamed of taking them
I'm so glad to hear you are getting the treatment and support that you deserve x
Find the most suitable meds for you. Take them. You'll be okay. Whole psychiatry shrinks down to this. And it's true.
Do u have a supportive family 👪
Very supportive but they didn't really understand the benefits of taking medication for your mental health which made things challenging!
You look like Emma Watson 🤔🤔
