The "never in sync with yourself" part made me fall out of my chair. The most accurate portrayal of what my anxiety makes me feel.
Exactly. Never in sync, always out of step. It’s so hard. Stay strong brother.
@@rafaelfranco5142 shut the fuck up both of you
“So your start apologizing for your own existence... until it leads me to depression then I begin to question living..” this brought tears to my eyes, those are daily rituals of mine that I never signed up for..
how are you now?
me too
That happens to me too.
94 million people deal with this and yet we want to keep it suppressed. Keep speaking. Keep talking. Because we deserve to be heard
PREACH!!!!!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you I didn't know how to describe it until you did 💕💕💕🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Preach 🙏
"Anxiety is a funny thing! Until it's not... Until you're sitting at home alone. And your friends are texting, asking why you're not there.
Anxiety is being trapped on a speeding train, heading for a cliff and not being able to escape because you're the conductor."
I feel.
Plz provide the full poem
"Talking about it helps, especially when no one talks about it, when where you're from, your not supposed to talk about it" Yesss
“It’s all in your head”
I HATE that sentence. I’d be in the middle of panicking to my mom and she’d be like “It’s all in your head”
YES, mom, I know my emotions and mental state come from my brain, but how exactly is pointing it out going to help me? What, because it’s all in my head it isn’t real? I’m feeling something that doesn’t actually exist?
This poem was great! We honestly don't talk about anxiety like we should. Especially since so many people suffers with its symptoms
I swear this was the best description of anxiety that I have ever heard!!! This has tried to take me out so many so many so many times. My life use to be so full and now, anxiety has become a major portion of it. People tell me just by looking at me that it doesn’t look like i have anxiety and i try to tell them it isn’t a look...it’s a feeling that sometimes tries to take control of things not there or things that are there that make itself looked larger and more difficult to deal with. I’ve tried everything to get people to explain what’s wrong but the reality is, I cant. I couldnt... until this video!! I will make sure this goes viral!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!! On point!!
I feel you sweetheart.
This exacerbated my anxiety 😥
Wow…this didn’t even feel like three minutes that was amazing
The goosebumps that hit when they say "until its not" hits hard
But most importantly, Anxiety doesn’t have to be a bad characteristic of who you are. Because yes, anxiety is apart of me and it’s so hard sometimes but it doesn’t define us! I love how well they portrayed this, and please know that anxiety doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It definitely will be a pain, but we’ve gotta remember to control it or else it’ll control us. I’m sorry I just really felt the need to share this because for a while I felt like anxiety was this big bad bully that I wasn’t allowed to talk about or else it’d beat me up worse.
Just me, casually crying. That was powerful as hell
where you never feel in sync with yourself, i loved this poem so much thanks for sharing
This was awesome and sad that people with anxiety feel like that 😢
me and my dad keep having fights because he does really understand my anxiety... i found this and showed it to him... he finally understands a fraction of what i go through
29 and STILL going through it. Im afraid if i show him he will shrug it and say it's crazy.
Female: So, I get this text message that says
Both: “Hey”! Just hey? At first. Followed by that god forsaken ellipses taunting me while they’re still typing
Female: And I’m thinking of everything that could possibly follow.
Male: Hey!
Female: You’re fired?
Male: The house is on fire.
Female: I’m leaving your father.
Male: You’re gonna be a mother.
Both: Anxiety makes you see things that aren’t there.
Female: Even at the party!
Both: Anxiety makes it seem like I’m not always there.
Male: Anxiety is that person at the party.
Both: That no one invited, who keeps asking.
Male: Is the music too loud?
Female: Are we breaking the fire code?
Male: Will your neighbors call the cops?
Both: Then calls the cops to ask if it’s ok that we’re having this party!
Male: Anxiety is looking for your keys…
Both: While your holding your fucking keys!
Female: Anxiety is getting a voicemail like…
Male: Beep. So, I need to talk to you…Call me back
Both: Of course you need to talk to me! But thanks for not telling me why!
Male: Also, who the fuck still leaves voicemail?!
Both: Anxiety, that’s who!
Female: Anxiety calls me in the middle of the night like
Male: Hey!
Female: Yeah?
Male: Remember that one time you called your fourth grade math teacher Mr. Mitchell mom?
Female: Or that time you ordered pizza and accidentally said I love you before hanging up the phone?
Both: And didn’t realize it’d be the same person delivering your pizza? NOPE!
Female: Totally forgot that happened!
Both: Until now!
Female: Anxiety is thoughtfulness’ hella extra evil twin.
Both: Anxiety is sooo EXTRA!
Male: Anxiety is having your friends give you advice about how to “cure your anxiety”
Both: Which only makes you hyper aware that your a burden for having anxiety. Like OK YES! Let me try a yoga studio because I don’t want to offend you and then silently implode because I’m forced to sit still with all my deepest darkest thoughts!
Male: Anxiety is a funny thing.
Female: Until it’s not.
Male: Until you’re sitting at home alone.
Female: And your friends are texting…
Both: Asking why you’re not there! Anxiety…
Male: Is being trapped on a speeding train
Both: Heading for a cliff and not being able to escape because you’re the conductor!
Female: It’s trying to be the conductor to acquire with left
Male: And right
Female: Hands
Both: That belong
Female: To different
Both: Bodies!
Female: It’s having a chorus of voices in your head.
Both: Where everyone is singing but no one knows the lyrics! But no one knows the words/lyrics.
Male: When you never feel in sync with yourself.
Female: When you never feel in sync with yourself.
Both: In sync with yourself! Anxiety is constantly apologizing
Female: For things that are not your fault.
Male: Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, etc.
Female: So you start apologizing for your own existence. It’s having to compare anxiety to everything else! Cause you know some people will still
Both: See it as a punchline! Anxiety makes you tiptoe around the truth to this poem. The truth is most days, anxiety is something I can manage.
Female: ‘Til I see my bed more than I see my friends.
Male: Until it leads me to depression and then I begin to question living
Female: If I down enough drinks
Male: I can drown out the doubt.
Both: But I can’t drown out your questions that keep me from being honest.
Female: What have you got to be so anxious about?
Male: Why can’t you just relax?
Female: You’re doing this to yourself!
Male: It’s all in your head.
Both: We know! But talking about it helps. Especially when no one talks about it. Especially when where you come from your not supposed to talk about it.
Fuckin right to this comment!
Oh wow that’s a lot
@@St4rD4rts_ yes, it is. It's a great poem though! And the words were not available anywhere, so I typed them in myself. That way, when I watch it, I can read along if I want to. Make sense?
@@moniqueharrison316 thank you! I enjoyed typing it, too. Kinda terapeutical, lol!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️
"until you see your bed more than you see your friends." That one hit me hard.
I need there to be more videos of these two doing these poems together because wow, I love this
I struggle with anxiety and this poem helps.
The last like of
“especially where you come from you’re not suppose to talk about it”
That just hit close to home.
This gave me chills. This poem completely nailed what it's like for me.
I can’t remember the last time a poem made me cry thanks for the Ted talk you two are awesome
THIS WAS PERFORMED SO WEL YES YES YES
“ especially where you come form your not spouse to talk about it “ felt that !
So much of my life is explained in this poem. The constant apologizing, the feeling out of sync, the intrusive thoughts...even the one about yoga. My first psychologist recommended I start mindful meditating every day. And I just ended up sitting there in the lessons on how to meditate, trying so hard to find some semblance of peace, but really the only thing I could concentrate on was the fact that I was full with so much nervous energy and I was being given zero ways of actually expressing it.
This rocks. So going to show this to some students in a virtual visit I have coming up.
This Poem is everything! EVERY SINGLE THING!
I cried so hard while watching this realising that I relate to everything that was said. I cried out for help , but everybody laughed at me and now they call me a joke at school. But things will get better , right ?
It does get better. And I'm proud of you for making it this far, I know it isn't easy but you are AMAZING. You've made it thru 100% of every hard time you've faced this far. You've been pulling yourself out of dark places consistently because you are A BAD ASS and you matter!! Hopefully you've found some helpful resources but if not just reach out to me
i really connected with this, i loved it a lot. this was beautiful. thank you.
I found this 2 years ago and my anxiety keeps bringing me back all the time. This video validating my anxiety... helps me with my anxiety. Thank you
Okay now this is too good. Too accurate.
This never gets old
Hello! I really liked this poem, it was the most accurate description of the way I feel and I was wondering... Would you please allow me to add spanish subtitles to this video? It would be an honor for me to do it, please.
That was amazing!!
"Especially from where you come from, you're not supposed to talk about it" felt this deep in my soul, and it hurts. I can't talk about it, I can't be myself or get comfort during my panic attacks, maybe here and there, but on other days, my mothet says its drama, and she moved away from my dad to gey away from the drama, and basically is telling me i cant cry, i cant vent, i cant talk about it or else the situation will get flipped around on me, and my feelings will be invalidated based on the "you're too dramatic for me. This is too much drama for me" statement😔💔
Laughed at some parts. Teared up on others.. Loved this.
This poem makes me tear up every time! God damnit
damn...i teared up a little....this hits man
wow this was incredible
Wait, my 4th grade teacher was Mr. Mitchell. Also I relate to this.
This made me cry so much. I have to deal with this everyday and nobody helps.
After years of being asked what my mental problem is and then being told I just don’t do enough and there’s nothing wrong with me, this ending just absolutely slaughtered the inner child (in a completely healthy good way that I liked) and I burst into tears
Thank you for this beautiful poem.
Shit, this is good. This is so, so good. Will def. be using this as a reference whenever someone's uncertain about what anxiety actually is. Especially the out of sync with yourself-part.
2:09 chills
I was like man, this isn't right and near the end I was crying because I felt it, I felt wanting to die I felt it driving me to depression and my bed and away from school I felt trying to say its all a thought and I felt it all
😭😭😭😭😭😭 this really sums it up! There's things that could've been added as examples as I've been suffering with anxiety since I was 15, I'm 23 now. But, omg!!! This was really well put together. I teared up as if to say, finally somebody understands.
Thanks so much to the ones who created this
I literally started crying
Because to me this is such a powerful video
I’m in a relationship with my boyfriend might break up with me because I struggle with anxiety and it feels like nobody understands so the fact that this video exist makes me feel like somebody out there who literally understands exactly how I feel and what I can’t explain. Thank you so much🖤🙏🏾
This Was A Beautiful Poem by the 2 of you so powerful to hear spoke to my soul
Excellent. Thank you for your creative approach to one of humanities most shared demons! Keep up the great work
I love this so much!
The mr Mitchelle part has happened to me before
Have been dx with anxiety for several years now & this explains it better than anything.
Just sent this to my dad, hopefully this will help him understand
I have not be diagnosed with anxiety, but I relate to this so much that this may actually be anxiety. I overthink a lot, and when I do that I don’t sleep. I think I may have it. I say sorry twenty four seven.
just tears and help needed...
I don't know how many times I've listened to this poem
I heard this poem last year and I'm still listening to it in 2019 😪💗💗
Ya no one talks about it. Thanks for letting us know a lot through this performance. It was mind blowing.
Ooooh wooooooooooow just woow
I was in tears by the end of this video. Spot on description.
LOVEEE This!!!!
Literally started to cry cause this is so true
she looks like sadness from inside out and its freakin cuteeeeee huhuhu
Very dope message and the performance was awesome....
I love this and it also feels way to relatable for me
Thank you
Love this!! Describes my whole life
I’m crying cuz I have never related to something more....when people you want to talk about it to just constantly say “you need to grow out of this” “you need to grow up” you need to face your fears” “if you do it once then it will be gone” “it’s fake” “it’s all in your head” “you make it worse by giving in” “just stop being anxious!” These are the ppl I need help from but instead they tell me it’s a phase. That I’m just shy! My anxiety is not being able to go to the store alone. For fear that someone is judging me. I know they don’t care but anxiety tells me they are ... that they are all judging what i look like, what I’m wearing, what I’m buying and how I’m paying for it....anxiety is not wanting to go to your bestfriends birthday party because people you don’t know will be there so you have to pretend to be confident in fear of being weird or I have to make them like me or else they’ll talk...anxiety is never believing you’re good enough..believing everything is your fault..believing that if you mess up one time then your whole life will be ruined...anxiety is fearing you’ll never find love...fearing that because you’re anxious and shy at first meeting that no one will care enough to try to get to know the real you...it’s being scared that if you tell anyone else they’ll think you’re faking it or that “other people have it worse” “there are worse things than anxiety” “you’ll be okay you Just have to stop worrying”....anxiety is NOT your friend. Anxiety is your enemy. The one who is always out to get you. The one who doesn’t want you to live your best life. anxiety is NOT fake and it is NOT a phase. Anxiety is forever you just learn to love with it...and to everyone who disagrees...NEWS FLASH: it sucks
So. Good.
Im crying.
this is underrated
this is amazing
I do not know how many times I replayed it 😂😂💖because I can so relate 😅💔💖
LOVE THIS

This so good
Love it
Wooooow
I watched this twice
This is 🔥🔥🔥
2:09 ________________ FLOORED!!!
Omg 🙌👏👏🙌🙌
holy crap
When they ask “why” I’m definitely sending them this video because I really don’t know how to put it into words. But they still might think I’m using having anxiety as an excuse anyway🤔 but I’m still sending it 🤷♀️ maybe they’ll understand if they heard it in a different way.
WWWOOOOOOOOOW. I have nothing more to say
Wow 👏
If I down enough drinks i can drown out the doubts....never related to something more
interesting presentation
Wow
"Anxiety makes you see things that arent there."
And my mom wonders why I cant sleep at night
Its not because im afraid of whats in the dark that i cant see.
Its i see to much of what im not supposed to
does anyone know where I can find it with the curse words bleeped? i'm working on a presentation about anxiety for school
and this would be so perfect
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🖤💤
