    It’s not something that you can just describe to people by telling them. That’s why I think pieces like this are very impressive.

    Accurate. Especially the entire time leading up to any sound, where I am trying to figure out if my speakers are on and working properly and if I am missing something as it passes me by. Disorienting, anxious, wondering if something is broken or if something bigger is supposed to be happening. Book sales on anxiety are up 20% from last year! Anxious times.
    However, still good to see you feeling creative. Hope your family is good!

    I waited for something to happen, until I realized what this was. I was terrified the whole time and it's exactly how to explain it. I never know what's going to happen, how bad it will be but there's always the realization of the situation I'm in. Anxiety is hard to explain and I think that this video did very well with showing, cuz i was nothing but anxious the whole time

    I remember when I started to feel this very often in my job, I was talking to my customers and then I couldn't breathe and I was crying, everyone was looking at me and the only thing that came to my mind was scape from whatever I was afraid of.
    I have lived with anxiety for almost 17 years and it is hard because people don't understand the way I feel living with it, I'm borderline and every day I thing everything is getting worse I just want to give up and rest

      Ofir Sasson we have to change the way we systematically approach mental health as a society. Research needs better funding, specifically research into safer and far more effaceable treatments for various mental health issues. The DSM needs to be re-written under a new paradigm of mental health. There needs to be a paradigm shift, in research, treatment, and public discourse. It’s already happening but we can make it happen even stronger if we are aware of the vocabulary necessary to describe what needs to change.

    • @adelinas.7335

      In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with us. It’s that we’re living in a system that is systemically broken. We’re somehow supposed to act like all of modern society is normal. It’s not. A lot of people are overworked and underpaid these days. It’s creating pockets of underprivileged and over privileged life styles. None of which is bringing anyone any closer to living a life that is filled with joy. Negative emotions are indicators that something is wrong. Anxiety is one of those emotions that is signaling us to make a change. But what if you can’t make a change because anything you chose, is just more of the same? We’re caught up in a way of life that is anxiety producing, with no clear answer how to solve it. So we’re left feeling we failed when the circumstances given to us never gave us the opportunity to be set up for success in the first place.

    I couldn't watch the whole video (had to stop it at 2:00). I've had anxiety issues since I was maybe 5 or 6. This video pretty much encapsulates the types of things that would trigger an episode for me, especially the part at 1:40. Sometimes, I would have night terrors that were exactly like this and I would throw up and sob as soon as I woke up. I didn't have a name for that feeling back then. It would be really subtle sometimes, but it would be like a tremendous wave other times. It was hard to describe to my parents. I'm rambling because I'm panicking still 😂 Excellent video, though! It's incredibly accurate.

    I've been living with anxiety for a few years now. It means a lot to see a respected artist raise awareness on the issue. I tend to associate memories and feelings very strongly with colors, so it was fascinating to see someone put those images into a video.

    It literally feels like someone pumping some kind of ....toxin in my brain and it's slowly spreading in my whole body.
    Body gets cold and it hurts in the chest.
    For someone who doesn't have Anxiety, Imagine standing on the edge on top of the tallest building and you look down. How do you feel? Or you're stuck on a Train track and you see a train approaching. Now imagine this happening but in any "Normal" , mundane scenarios.
