This really spoke to me in way that was unsettlingly-accurate. I actually finished the "If I knew now what I knew then, I woulda..." line almost in sync with Joe without thinking. In a weird way this is helpful. I have to run now and freak out about a thing I can't control until it becomes a problem- good luck, other anxious people!
See, i have this theorythat Anxious people ha e really good reflexes. Like do you scream very easily? Or, do you worry about small things because you don't want them to be big. But, yeah i also worry about very trivial things like what do other people thi k of me the moment i stop speaking.
As a performing musician that suffers from anxiety daily even after years of doing it. I still freak out before I get on stage and mentally blank for a moment before I hit the first note. I have managed to pull off solid performances but still it is insane.
I’m not a stage performer, but just recording at home, I can relate so much to that first note. Even tho it’s just me, I ALWAYS get nervous after I hit the record button. And I ALWAYS screw up for several takes, sometimes for over an hour. To the point where I need to take a break and do something else. So I can’t even fathom doing it live in front of an audience. Cuz that’s one take. The only take you get, while you’re up there.
You can look at it this way: LOTS of pro performers screw up live, so it’s hard to be perfect every time, and in the case of comedians messing up or bombing 💣 they make a joke about even THAT and it relieves the awkward tension: if the crowd had any tension in the first place. I LOVE funny blooper reels when actors screw up or forget their lines, and it doesn’t even have to be a sitcom 😂
I took a voice acting class. It was just a class so mistakes were expected. I wasn’t nervous about the actual acting but making dumb mistakes like forgetting the rules about performance: such as not coughing into the mic, tapping something noisy like a zipper on my jacket during the recording, or forgetting that we sometimes improvised and altered our scripts; based on perspective changing when you would change the gender of the person we were addressing in a dialogue or commercial, e.g. 😆 I just tried to have self-awareness.
They're the ones who call you out of the blue or say stuff like "we need to talk" because they don't get how that could be taken negatively and you're just there, like, needing detailed warnings and explanations so you don't panic and assume the worst. 😩

@@AG-iu9lv I am right there with ya. Even if there has been a renewed relationship with a substance I stand with you in spirit on every Day 1 down to Minute 1. This can happen and no one is anything but still in the effort. You deserve the life you want. I hope it is in that direction for you.
As someone that suffers from anxiety, I can say that the hardest roadblock was being able to logically reason with myself that none of what I was saying in my head (or the “voice”) had to be true. Y’know like maybe I’m not gonna fail this test, or even though this is my first time driving a long distance, I’ve been awake in more boring places like school or work for more time than I’m going to be driving, so maybe I can make it the whole way by myself. For me it’s about canceling out the negative thought with a potential positive alternative
I tried that but it didn't help. Now I just go for neutral. Like maybe I will fail or maybe I won't, but let's just see what happens! Trying to balance w positivity was too much effort. It actually helps me to give in a bit sometimes too.
This is a horrible method for dealing with anxiety, but continue if it truly works for you. Nothing is guaranteed to go well or to go bad. It's probably a better idea instead of focusing on the "maybe it won't all go wrong" part to focus on the "It's going to be okay even if it goes wrong" part.
@@MRios1128 For me, the only thing that more or less works is to try changing the attitude: "I did my best to prepare for the event. There's just nothing more I can do, and if something goes wrong, it's not my fault." Also, I try to reduce the importance of the event: "It is not a world-changing event. It won't cause any major harm to anyone if something goes wrong." Of course, I most often end up experiencing anxiety anyway, but at least I have those anchoring thoughts to focus on. Also, I work hard to convince myself that only people and deep relations are important. Everything else - exams, money, even a job - is not worth stressing about. However, I don't have any loans and I have some savings, so I can afford to not stress about my job anymore, at least for some time.
I like to put my phone on the toilet when I'm showering because I'm scared that I'll have a darn heart attack while showering and I'll need to call 911.
Joe is one of my favorite all time comics. I love him because he speaks the truth. He's as brutally funny as he is honest. Killer artwork on that set, I bet it's from his collection.
TLDR: I have a bad anxiety disorder I've struggled with for years. I take meds. I refuse to be a victim to it. It still affects my life but I'm glad to be alive today despite many days really feeling like a battle. Pretty damn accurate in regards to anxiety as a disorder vs normal stress and anxiety. I hate how people that try to use it as an excuse or to paint themselves as a victim if they do have it. I have suffered from crippling hellacious anxiety for the majority of my life and when I was first diagnosed over 11 years ago I developed a victim mentality. The anxiety I have isn't just mental it's also very physical; quite literally crippling depression from neuromuscular / muscular tension that makes it feel like my muscles are being pulled so tight that they are about to snap. Anyways a few years into having depression I found this comedian named Duncan Trussell when searching UA-cam for something like 'natural ways to overcome depression'. Duncan has this beautiful no BS rant about framing depression as this beast like the devil and that there are some simple things anyone can do to not fall victim to it and instead to truly thrive in spite of it. From that day on it changed my entire outlook not just on depression but life. A truly life changing video for me. After that I fell into the rabit hole of the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast but I was listening to (a lot of) the stuff he was suggesting on his podcast like simply exercising and doing push ups and "mindfulness" (as cringe as that word has become). I refuse to be a victim to this disease. I'm determined to live life the best I can even with this hell. I hated getting on meds and after a few years I stopped and quickly took a nosedive back to that familiar hell of isolation and unspeakable thoughts. Eventually after intensive therapy for years I got back on medication to the lowest effective dose without all the half dozen pills they had me on before. I found what medication actually worked without side effects worse than the condition. Prior to finding the right doctors I felt like I was a guinea pig. I still think for a lot of people these doctors are just out here handing out scripts like "give this a try it might work maybe not". All the stuff I was on before made me feel like a zombie. The depression was numbed but so was the rest of my life. Nothing got me excited including in the bedroom and that was the last straw. Alright I've written a long enough comment that most people reading should understand I have a mental illness.
Bro I keep moving and then ending up back here. Every time I’m in Phoenix I spend 90% of my time actively thinking about how to get out of Phoenix for good.
You're not alone. PA sux, too. Too many laws, codes, regulations, permits, bull💩 And, every place is getting MUCH WORSE. It's all a dog & pony show, part of a GIANT Socialistic plan. Enjoy every minute of "freedom," cause it's soon gonna be GONE FOR GOOD 🥺👁🗺⌛🎎
For those going through it (esp those that have to go to the hospital for it), there is a brighter tomorrow. But with regards to booze, you may need to be honest with how that’s contributing. I don’t regret having kicked it. Helped not worsen my symptoms. It’s *you* that’s going to have to get you through it. It will be step by step, but you can
People just need to realize everyone else is just as fucked up as you THINK you are, no matter the persona they put on for the rest of us to see. As the saying goes, picture your audience naked and the anxiety melts a little more every time.
Greetings from Iran🙋🌷 I'm suffering from another 'anxiety attack' (or whatever it is, no doctor gave me a firm diagnosis here). Even when it hits me in the "mildest" possible form, I just want my life to end. And yes, others have no idea what you're going through. And when you have this monstrous disease in a more close-minded society (where the financial situation and the job market are terrible, you have no jobs, and you're an irreligious 34-y-old still living with your religious family) it IS much worse
I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💚
Didn’t realize how much I love DeRosa until I had to suffer 2 weeks without him on Taste Buds and had to look for him elsewhere. Q was good but he can’t replace this grump.
HALF my family is alkies yet I can’t seem to handle (low tolerance) or enjoy alcohol like they can so for me, alcoholism is NOT an option; even if I tried 😆 So much for ‘genetics’!
I on the other hand tried every drink I was recommended by my friend and family. I hate the taste. The only drinks I enjoy are fruity sweet ones, and they get better when there is no alcohol. So I just gave up, never drank a single drop of anything with alcohol the last decade because I know I will hate it.
This man was speaking straight facts about having anxiety and the people that don't have it can't get it through their thick skulls that they're the ones causing it, because they're unempathetic to the pain that one is feeling. Wake up people. We are all one. Their pain is all of our pains.
Jojo if your first reflex is to be argumentative then you probably do induce anxiety for people around you and might be the type to think it’s funny when it happens. If your inquiry was more genuine and empathetic, which you don’t identify with in the second comment you made, then it’d be more inquisitive than it is antagonistic. But Yes, a lack of empathy is a huge indication of psychopathy and sociopathy and in every court case you will notice the zero remorse of these types of people and how the judge takes that factor into high consideration. Its a huge factor for those diagnostics too, & it’s those unempathetic people that create unsafe environments for others which lead to the development of a heightened alarm system to perceive threats quickly to navigate those environments safely, and that is literally how anxiety is developed. It’s a typical archetype of the narcissists and the empaths. Read up on some psychology books or something. It’s a simple cause and effect if you understand that the brain will adapt and evolve for survival.
I had anxiety for a brief period of a few months almost two years ago. But that time of my life felt like it lasted an eternity. Being used to depression but not fear, I ran straight to the psychologist where I hadn't been to in a decade just to figure out how to get rid of it. It's an entirely different animal. Waking up scared, like he says, was the worst part of it for me. Even though it went away on its own, it was so awful that I still worry about it coming back.
Sometimes I feel like I just have normal anxiety about things. Then I have to run the table at my McDonald's job (making the sandwiches) completely by myself for however long. That's when my whole body starts feeling tight, my breathing gets shallow, I can't breathe easily or steadily, my vision tunnels and blurs, outside noise dies except for the constant incessant beep of the screen, and then I realize I'm having a full blown panic attack before spasming to the floor and passing out for 4 hours. But I still think it's totally normal every day anxiety. I can tough it out, probably.
Man I have an anxiety problem too. I've been doing really good lately, I sorta figured out how to manage things, everything is linked, mental and physical health. Can't have one without the other, and you have to put yourself in a position to succeed. Anyway for me these days inhave triggers. Some things just trigger anxiety it doesn't hit me often, I don't have to deal with it all day everyday anymore. The pandemic brought me to a fork in the trail and I had to get better, or get worse.
I have anxiety and bipolar 1 but my mania presents as intense anxiety. It used to be AWFUL before I got medicine for it. I can't describe how bad it was but it felt physically painful and I was convinced I was going to die every single day. I couldn't sleep because I mistook my heartbeat for an intruder's footsteps. So I feel you. I still do deal with anxiety everyday, just not the same kind.
@@redrick8900 While comorbidity exists, it’s still possible for one to impact your daily life more than the other. I, myself, am currently diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I’d say anxiety worsens the other 2 all day, everyday.
I liked all of this except the daylight savings thing. I lived in Arizona for years, and that was the best part. Please please please do yourself a favor and vote to repeal it every time it comes up. It's an archaic policy that only hurts. Nobody benefits because of daylight savings. Also it is ALL thirds desert. There's parts that aren't desert, but even if you lumped them all together its still not much.

Chest pain here too.
Sometimes its like a heavy block of wood on top of it.. sometimes its like a hand squeezing the life out of it.
I was under the impression Joe runs a sandwich shop and eats grinders everyday, that is a treatment for anxiety but the side effect is indigestion...

Its a huge factor for those diagnostics too, & it’s those unempathetic people that create unsafe environments for others which lead to the development of a heightened alarm system to perceive threats quickly to navigate those environments safely, and that is literally how anxiety is developed. It’s a typical archetype of the narcissists and the empaths. Read up on some psychology books or something. It’s a simple cause and effect if you understand that the brain will adapt and evolve for survival.
@@J.S.4everyou need to hit reply so their name hyperlinks. Otherwise they don’t get a notification. Jojo probably never saw your comment.
This guy really gets it. I’ve watched this about 50 times today 😂🤣😂
WANT. MORE. OF. THIS. GUY.
I woke up so depressed and now am just laughing around the house sayin, "if I knew then what I know now"
Waking up with depression is the opposite: damn, still here... Unconsciousness was good while it lasted...
1:24 he just described what my thoughts are on a daily basis in school WHY IS EVERYONE SO CALM?WHAT THE HELL DO THEY KNOW?
I had anxiety for a brief period of a few months almost two years ago. But that time of my life felt like it lasted an eternity. Being used to depression but not fear, I ran straight to the psychologist where I hadn't been to in a decade just to figure out how to get rid of it. It's an entirely different animal. Waking up scared, like he says, was the worst part of it for me. Even though it went away on its own, it was so awful that I still worry about it coming back.
Sometimes I feel like I just have normal anxiety about things. Then I have to run the table at my McDonald's job (making the sandwiches) completely by myself for however long. That's when my whole body starts feeling tight, my breathing gets shallow, I can't breathe easily or steadily, my vision tunnels and blurs, outside noise dies except for the constant incessant beep of the screen, and then I realize I'm having a full blown panic attack before spasming to the floor and passing out for 4 hours. But I still think it's totally normal every day anxiety. I can tough it out, probably.
Do they pay you for the 4 hours?
@@scottmcwave9479 if they forget to correct it yes, but it only happened once so far luckily
I'll put it to you this way friend. Your experience is the result of: many people before you cutting corners to make a profit.
So sorry, it can be better. Insurance? Consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Stillness and meditation are free. Take care
Joe is criminally underrated.
"This dog was a mistake. Let's be honest."
"Two-thirds desert? Let's make it all-thirds desert."
*Dessert
Dude, you hit the nail on the head
4:20 this man dropping knowledge
Those jokes were hitting me way harder and funnier than the crowd seem to take it lmao
I would definitely be friends with this guy right here 😂
Joe truly is an underrated comic
but his sandwiches are on point and appreciated.
@@ZeZeBatata69 only place that serves underage in the neighborhood I've been told
Man I have an anxiety problem too. I've been doing really good lately, I sorta figured out how to manage things, everything is linked, mental and physical health. Can't have one without the other, and you have to put yourself in a position to succeed. Anyway for me these days inhave triggers. Some things just trigger anxiety it doesn't hit me often, I don't have to deal with it all day everyday anymore. The pandemic brought me to a fork in the trail and I had to get better, or get worse.
My Anxiety disorder is more impactful on my life than my bi polar condition.
I have anxiety and bipolar 1 but my mania presents as intense anxiety. It used to be AWFUL before I got medicine for it. I can't describe how bad it was but it felt physically painful and I was convinced I was going to die every single day. I couldn't sleep because I mistook my heartbeat for an intruder's footsteps. So I feel you. I still do deal with anxiety everyday, just not the same kind.
How would you know? A good portion of your anxiety has to have legitimate origins in your bi polar disorder.
@@redrick8900 While comorbidity exists, it’s still possible for one to impact your daily life more than the other.
I, myself, am currently diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I’d say anxiety worsens the other 2 all day, everyday.
I got over my anxiety by being chased by a bunch of dudes with machetes. Now everything seem trivial by comparison hahaha.
Hold up....
The set and back drop is fucking amazing! I love that fucking set so much!!!! Joe KILLS IT naturally! Such talent.
2:51 this is so true and i think this out every day
What a lovely cannibalistic painting behind him really just set's the scene.👌
I liked all of this except the daylight savings thing. I lived in Arizona for years, and that was the best part. Please please please do yourself a favor and vote to repeal it every time it comes up. It's an archaic policy that only hurts. Nobody benefits because of daylight savings.
Also it is ALL thirds desert. There's parts that aren't desert, but even if you lumped them all together its still not much.
Joe Derosa is a legend
Never found a comedy video more relatable, geez.
2:51 YESSSSS. This dude is perfect.
00:47 I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Spot on.
Anxiety is the worst. I feel this guy's whole set.
0:24 is true asf 🤣🤣🤣
This man might just be My spirit animal.
To all those suffering anxiety I pray God gives you the peace you so desire. ☺️🙏🏽
" thats not a threat, by the way "
🤣🤣
SO CARING... 😁 🥰
Oh my god is this my new favorite act? I think so.
The 'ruins' part is masterful
A whole lotta truth in this one.
Backdrop really accents this man’s attitude 😂
Now I know why Sal proves his point about the points that point at him, to Joe almost every episode. 😂
He has some really great points
That "ruins" bit is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while. I fucking love Joe.
Having a very bad day and this resonated and maybe even helped
1:15 Ain’t that a gotdamn fact 💀💀👏👏👏
"95 mph downhill... That's how I wake up" 🤣
That is the best description of what waking up on a big day feels like
This helped me so much
Man Jared from Subway doesn't look like he's doing half bad.
Spot on!
The Dutch angle tilts are adding extra oomph. Love it.
⭐️I’m bookmarking this to just show people instead of wasting my breath to explain from now on👍 At least we can get a good laugh out of all the b.s. we go through…so it doesn’t go to waste!😉
Bro im on meds because of how anxious iam about being anxious. Maybe not the funniest set he does, but hits pretty hard for me. He is getting so good.
Yeah i have the worst anxiety every day lmao i can relate to this 110%
Love you Joey, keep doing you my man, all of the love ever!!!
Funny and informative.
Hey Joe - love your work, it's funny because it's true!
Love the camera angles
Keep it up man, that was amazing.
Tough subjects, well said.
Couldn’t stop laughing at the wake up routine bc it’s me down to the dog
As someone who suffers from anxiety and has never had a drink, Joe wouldn’t know how to feel about me.
Stomachache means we’re awake :)
I’m back, my stomach still aches, but joes now one of my favs
Joe you are the goat my man never change
Best veterinerian ever
No matter what happens I love you!
All of this is completely true for me.
Lmao depression dampens the launching out of bed symptom for me. Would highly recommend, it's very effective at giving you a few extra minutes --hours-- of sleep!
One of the best stand up comics
