Lewis is a gift to everyone who struggles with mental illness. Thank you for being a light in the dark.
Completely admire him openly talking about the high degree of anxiety.. such a breath of fresh air! This happens to so many people .. keep rocking man 🎶
I’m always shocked how strong some people with anxiety are. They push and carry on. ❤
Love him!! I have had crippling anxiety for almost 40 years, it's horrible. It's so helpful for people like him to speak up about it because for some reason we all hide it.
40 years?!
@@DreAnDii yes, almost, since I was 14 and I'm 51. It's quite common for people with bad anxiety to have it throughout their whole life, with periods when it's better and others when it's worse
@@lilianwal2385 Oh. Sorry about the question..but I am really curious.. Have You ever found the Origin of your anxiety?
@@DreAnDii yes, I know the origin, it was an extremely traumatic experience that I had when I was 10
I can so relate. Hypochondria, Anxiety, Depression, etc 😢
So easy to connect with him both via his music and his anxiety battles. One of the few celebrities that really opens up and shows us that we can allow anxiety to be there but still live our lives and be successful.. Nothing but admiration for him.
Protect this man at all costs. The good he is doing in the world by using his platform to raise awareness of the struggle so many are silently fighting. A fucking hero.
Wow, I was taken by surprise when he talked about how his anxiety got so bad his mom had to sleep with him in the same bed. The reason is because when I experienced anxiety for the first time, it was so sudden and shocking. You don't have a warning. No one really ever told me what anxiety was really like. The cruel intricate pain one can feel throughout their body, is so real, painful, and scary, I don't think anyone will truly ever understand that unless they experience a panic attack themselves. I became an absolute shell of a person, who could barely drive, be around noise, or even read because palpitations ruled over my day. I couldn't even fall asleep and if I managed to, the anxiety was so strong I would wake up from the panic attack. I was literally having panic attacks in my sleep. And having to go on that journey of accepting that it is your mental health and not some actual disease, is very difficult. You are convinced that you have something that will kill you. You are convinced something is wrong with your lungs. Whatever it is. It just becomes all you think about because you're in survival mode. You can't even be your normal self because your nervous system has gone out of whack and can't go back to what it was on its own anymore. I started to sleep with my mom to have a sense of safety and I will be forever grateful that someone loved me so much that they were able to see me at my WORST and be there, without any judgement and just love. It was truly, the worst few months of my life and I tear up when I think about it. I wouldn't wish anxiety like this on anyone. The brain is so powerful I don't think people know it. I am still trying to recoup ever since those days, and both my body and brain is not the same. I have learned to live with the random chest pains, palpitations, or whatever else. But I am grateful to hear celebrities talk about things with such vulnerability. It hit me so deeply, Lewis
Man I don’t think you realise how much better it makes me feel hearing someone else has dealt with the exact same thing. Makes you feel so alone! Everything you said here was my situation down to the T. It’s even more of a relief seeing celebrities talk about it
@@Viceeoff aw im glad u read my comment. i really really feel you on that and i want u to know that whatever u may go through and feel and think, just know u are definitely not the only one in this world. it makes me feel better once i realized that
@@an-qo6by I appreciate you bro
@@Viceeoff I gotchu. If you ever wanna rant about anything just reply here. It can be like messaging hahaha
@@an-qo6by yeh sure man, sounds good. Could use that sometimes
Lewis, thank you for your authenticity. We need more people like you in this world. ❤
I've suffered with anxiety since my teens and it got worse when I got to 21 and stopped doing everything I loved. You end up stuck in 4 walls cause you're scared of the unknown which caused depression for me. So I 100% understand
@plantopiamedics was on antidepressants but they made me worse so I took myself off them. Been off them for 2 months now and feel better
yes! Same. Im just not slowily putting myself back out there and its not easy but im cautious.
This is EXACTLY what I've experienced during the pandemic. I was fully convinced that I was going to die and I really thought that I had some really horrible diseases since I was experiencing all those strange symptoms. Health anxiety is exhausting, I'm still experiencing those symptoms even to this very day. It's lesser now but I still feel it at times.
Interesting. I'm 23 and I've had bad health anxiety since I was 17, but I really didn't feel it regarding Covid.
Bless him. I’m not into his music, but he has my admiration and respect. He’s a wonderful, great guy, for his honesty.
lewis honestly makes me feel so not alone its amazing
I’m old (52) I had anxiety since I was a child. Only one of my sons got that gene… I can say, it can be overcome. We both also had suicidal ideation peaking in young adulthood. My son had zero impulse control as a child, so I couldn’t really have friends, we had to mostly homeschool him. Long story short, we both figured out how to survive our brains. Today I have an amazing career, my dream marriage to my patient loving husband, my dream life. My son is almost 29, he’s incredibly successful, with a loving woman, and a brilliant career. My son - who had so many issues with his feelings, with relationships and social stuff…is doing so well his work is on Netflix. I won’t brag too much, but, just to say, love conquers all. Never give up on yourself, never give up on your kids. Some people are nervous cats. It’s ok. There are many things that can help, but most of all, stay on the planet because things smooth out as you age. ❤
Honestly, this is the most relateable way a celeb has ever spoken about anxiety, at least for me. Obviously everyone experiences anxiety differently, but I see myself so much in everything he says. It feels very genuine and everyday down to earth, if that makes sense. Big props to him for speaking about it so candidly on a public forum.
Love the bond he has with his mum, she is his anchor 💕
I’ve never seen this podcast before but I looked up crippling anxiety because I’ve been having panic attacks for the last 24 hours. This is helping to ground me as I type this. A thing that people don’t realize about crippling anxiety is that when you start having an anxiety attack it can easily explode into a panic attack and give you this idea in your head that everything is out of control and too far gone and your life is going to fail and nothing is recoverable, which leads you to feeling like you’re going to die for certain. The scary part is this can happen in minutes and last for hours and coming out of it is the most emotionally and physically exhausting task of that day.
Stay strong man❤️✌🏻
As someone who suffers from severe Anxiety, i can totally relate.
Thanks Lewis for speaking your Truth about your struggles with Anxiety.
You're helping so many.
Lewis thank you for speaking your truth to me. I've been through the massive anxiety for the best part of my life and I always think people I love are going to die and go away. It grips my mind and physical body, including a racing heart and stomach in horrific knots. I appreciate your candor. Bless you ❤. I hope everything wonderful for you,as you deserve the best in life ❣️!! BTW..I love your voice and every song you pour out! Take care of yourself, firstly and if possible, keep making your amazing music
Hope you are getting therapy & medication. This is no way to live your life.
@@retired5218 thank you for your time and suggestions. I'm taking a very mild anxiety medication which does help, somewhat. Deep breaths also help me. I've realized that even without life's struggles, I have always been a very anxious person. It's a part of who I am, so now I am learning to acknowledge it and deal with it. It was very sweet of you to reach out.
Massive respect to Lewis. Takes huge courage to speak up. Well done and stay well. I can relate to a lot
Massive respect to Lewis
This makes me so sad to hear how bad things got for poor Lewis, I was at the Aberdeen gig back in 2020 and it was fantastic little did I know how much he was suffering, so glad he is getting the support from his lovely family, friends and specialists, u can do this Lewis 🥰 x x x
Beautiful man, wish there was a magic pill to get rid of anxiety. Take care, you rock mate. Lola
There’s power in admitting this stuff. I have a panic disorder, it gets worse with exhaustion. Keep looking after yourself- more power to you, you are beautiful through and through.
Love this guy.. ❤Hats off to him for talking about his mental health.. ❤✌
Anxiety sucks, it's like having drawing pins under your skin whilst at the same time your mind sits there waiting to let a negative thought in and once it gets in it increases 10 fold, the number of times I've been lying in bed and all.if a sudden I find a way to believe I'm going to be arrested or die and then the next day I feel joy at getting through it but that last 10mins before the next thought arrives
He just literally explained every single day in my life
It’s good to know I’m not alone! This has helped me so much, recently I’ve been struggling every night with bad anxiety but it’s just only inside my head and I literally feel like I’m going to die if I go to sleep. Knowing Lewis someone who’s music I love goes through the same thing has calmed me down because I know I will be okay and reading all of these comments have helped me not feel so alone either! Love you Lewis ❤
I have PTSD where I can get so anxious I throw up…I don’t have it as much as I used to but once I get triggered that anxiety can come back really bad…I know how to control it better now since having therapy x
You are breath of fresh air . Do not change ,and have faith that you have value to the world x I believe in you
Great to hear Lewis talk about this . I'm the exact same all me life . Cant get rid of it. Thinking the most minor illness is cancer. I put it down to my mother dying of cancer when I was 12. I dont think you can ever get rid of it. Just have to live with it.
Lewis is wonderful doin what he is foin 2 educate the ppl who suffer from this anxiety attacks . He's strong and courageous 2 talk about it and show that he is an awesome person who is truly down 2 earth 🌎. Lewis is and enormous talent 💙 he sings so gr8 all his songs r bangin an relate 2 real life situations we go thru . Thx Lewis 😊 u r well loved 😍 😘 ❤️ 💙 hugs and kisses 2 u from America 🇺🇸 😘 ❤️ 😉 💖
Wow! Appreciate this a lot 🙏🏽
Having a spell of Anxiety is bad enough and is very scary when it happens, but living with a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can be crippling and soul destroying. Constantly afraid. My heart goes out to the bloke.
I'm currently dealing with so much anxiety that has reached to a point that even my hair is falling out.
It's so comforting knowing that I'm not alone yet so important that people, especially if they have a privileged position, speak up about these problems instead of hiding them...
Thanks Lewis for opening up ❤️🩹
Brave man, keep talking .I have lived with this all my life understanding and getting support is good .well done.
Being so open what a breath of fresh air x
Thanks for speaking on this. Can relate on many points and sure more people also. ❤
Love Him So Much!❤❤❤❤❤
Love your honesty sharing Lewis capaldi
Yeah. I've been there since I was 8. Thankfully stuff like this is helping me stay sane.
I've had severe anxiety ptsd...panic attacks..my whole life and bomb 60...you ca beat it
...I haven't...but Ilnow u will
Wow what an amazing human. Go Lewis xx👍💕💕👏👍💕💕
This is incredibly helpful thanks Lewis... I have and do similar things... Anxiety music and acting only I'm not famous... It seems like a road block it's good to see someone working it out
Thank you!
I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety..etc..its crippling sometimes..i get where hes coming from
I know what you’re going through. I suffer with it also. Can’t get in touch with you to compare if you went through what I’m going through and getting the right medication for it but I wish you all the best and if get treated right it will get better take care ❤
I have so much anxiety that kewps me from doing anything. I hear so many famous people with anxiety so im like maybe its more than that. . cuz at what point then does the anxiety get so bad you literally cant even look people in the eyes or talk?
Because these "celebs" don't suffer from a severe anxiety disorder, a lot of people who say they do don't and it's terrible for the people who really do have severe mental health issues.
Does anyone else feel so wrong for putting him through all of this at our expense ? 😢 I don't want him to go through this 💔
You are special. You are the chosen one
This is how I lived and I have improved but it really sucks and it can be scary. I can relate so much. It sucks especially knowing sometimes it can be nothing but then convincing myself its something else. Its tough sometimes.
I ❤Lewis Capaldi ❤❤❤ so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
omg my health anxiety is so bad and i had no idea lewis had it too :(
I had no clue either because he's never shown that side of him before. This is so new to me. And yes I have health anxiety too. Most horrible thing I've ever experienced since it tends to convince you that you're having some really horrible disease. It's exhausting. 😪
I feel you❤️
@@CHAD-fr4hh yeah honestly 😭 i’m experiencing it really bad right now and i’m questioning if theres actually something wrong with me
In a weird way. Lewis looks like he's managing a panic as he's having this interview. He's my guy. Love you bro
How do you mean ”managing a panic”, in what way?
Thank god for Lewis. He is me and I am him with this brain tumor comments. I wish my mom was still here to sleep in my bed with me. When it’s cold out I walk on the concrete with no shoes on. It feels like it grounds me.
I used to be exactly like that. I met the one , my partner and my journey then unfolded this is why I say to you everything going be okay. I love to, have faith as I believe I you. Find yourself and understand you differently to anyone else we are all unique. There isn’t anyone like me and thank fuck honestly I am a nightmare. My.uniqueness is my legacy. Hold on you have this. Go get it. Reach for the starsxxx
Awww Lewis Capaldi wow 😯 that’s crazy glad your getting better anxiety is never cool I have and anxiety too 😉
My son has tics since he was a kid but it isn't severe. It's almost unconscious. He does has childhood trauma he went to counseling but is doing well as an adult.
Lewis has awesome talent! As an older person l couldn't understand all the foul language but l did think he wanted to keep fans at arm's length and rightfully so when one is overwhelmed by fame! The name of Jesus is so powerful! O all you angels, archangels, saints, martyrs and holy ones of God, pray for us and come to our aid! Here's rootin' for you from lreland!🇨🇮
Health Anxiety is such a bitch. I can't live my life like normal because my mind is certain that I have an undiagnosed disease which is only getting worse because I have so many undiagnosed symptoms (tinnitus, aches & pains, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, cough, stomach pain, etc).
Had ECGs, blood tests, and it's all fine.
You are me lymph nodes in groin, tinnitus etc etc.
God I hope he gets it under control it’s hard enough in a mondane job not to mind his lifestyle . That’s a lot tougher.
Same Lewis SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
Wasn't the interviewer on some programe about his gaming company or something before 🤔
Great interview though I wish you would have gone into which medication he takes. Does anyone here know?
Sertraline, says on google.
I can’t stop ticing I’m 60 . What’s the plural of tic is it ticking ?
Plural is ”ticks”, example; I’ve had so many ticks today.
”Ticking” is a verb.
I often joke it is tourettes when i say a word thats considered bad, lol, but thank god I dont really have it. I do think it is terrible how this young guy is suffering, maybe the pressure is just way to high.
I totally understand the panic attack that takes you to a level of the whole realisation of breathing, life. And that feeling why do we do what we do. Being human we are born then we die.
I didn’t understand most of his words, I guess I need to watch it again.
Thought he had Tourette’s ? He’s not showing that in this interview. I think he has deeper issues . Hopefully he gets help
Did you not watch the interview? He talks about his tourettes and he says that his shoulder twitch is quite ”good today”. So it’s not always bad.
What do you mean by ”deeper issues”? He talks about his anxiety, hypochondria and panic attacks besides his tourettes.
Jazzy and her boyfriend were at my house and she had her own house so they could have her in her room moms and
he ought to quit booze and get some exercise, get a full nights sleep, eat well, that will help.
I finally beat it by surrendering and accountability. It's hard to describe, and even harder to do. Don't fight it. Leave it alone and it leaves you alone. Focusing on breathing, or having your mom around simply teaches the brain that's how it works. Much like PTSD. You're not going to die. Eventually, you stop triggering your flight and fight responses. No more adrenaline being pumped in when you don't expect it. Also, work on your health. Nutrition is one of the biggest factors. This kid is obese, causing all sorts of chemistry issues.
Lewis you need a past life regression.
He needs to start taking better care of himself or real physical health problems will show up. Less booze, healthy food, more exercise.
When I was 16 I was absolutely convinced I was going schizophrenic.
So I met with my psych teacher about it and he said, “so you’re saying you legit feel like you may be nuts?
I said, “yep”
He said, “well, good news is, you’re fine cuz people who are losing their minds- don’t know it”
And voila…
He cured me.
‘Never had a real mental issue since.
Other than the common break down here and there.
Its so true. I worried my whole life that I would go nuts....funny thing was that it did happen, but I didnt know and it was fantastic, as I had a manic episode (the opposite of depression)
