Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once.
Breathe . You're strong. You got this Take it day by day.
😮I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression. I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any reliable source I can purchase one
Yes, bergwilly11_
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
@michealharris3221Yes he is. bergwilly11_
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It’s absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it’s so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
❤
Agreed
@Jessica J how can we live alone with God, becoz for me i feel very happy along with people but people are selfish, pls guide, I want to live with God, but still I need people
❤️❤️❤️
@@saurabhbhardwaj8784 Same, I want to feel like God is enough but sometimes I need a physical person to be their infant of me and talk to me, give me a hug. Sometimes I don't know if God is replying because the responses can take time to see. Although I do believe he's here for me, I want to feel like I only need Him. Living alone with anxiety is hard.
People need to realise that people with anxiety disorders have oversensitised nerves, it’s not a simple case of manning up and getting over it. It’s absolutely exhausting living your life with your body on high alert almost 24/7.
Yeah man I have it really bad it’s turned into almost psychosis your body is on edge constantly ready for threat and scanning for it muscles tense heart pumping heavy breathing. Anxiety is much more physical than people think the mind and body are extremely connected
I know right. I always freak out as to think someone tapping me on the shoulder, when clearly no one is behind me.
It's also bad enough for me with my autism.
💯
That's me and it's killing me softly thats true
😭😭😭😭😭😭 why am I suffering like this
"We are exposed 24/7 and anyone can have an opinion on us," such wise and profound words. I am sending you my very best wishes, Rosie.
She’s so brave to talk so openly about the hardest times she’s been through. And she’s so eloquent about it and so strong.
Started having anxiety as a small child. I still suffer from Anxiety at 33 years old eventhough people kept telling me "It will get better as you get older, you are just young and inexperienced", here I am 33 years old with lots of life experience and still suffering from Anxiety. What people didn't understand back in the day was anxiety is a disease not a phase in life.
I've realised that as well. I'm almost 31 now and although I'm able to do more things now than in my 20s and earlier, the strength of the anxiety is as high as it's always been. It doesn't lessen over time. I learnt to accept it as normal to feel anxious before doing something but doing that thing anyway.
Try phenibut
Hi pleasant gmorning everyone, I just wanna say I'm going trough the same thing now and sometimes I wondered if this is the my life will be forever. It's real stressing.
@@bestchannel4587 what is it
@@bestchannel4587 what is phenibut
Just putting it out here (even commenting this is giving me anxiety) I have not been diagnosed but for several years I have been suffering with anxiety. Panic attacks, anxiety attacks they just come and go. I have recently started dissociating for short periods of time. Anxiety has affected all spheres of my life and crippled me. I am stuck in survival mode and I don’t think I can get help as of right now.
Leaving this out here in the hopes that one day I can come back here as a healed person.
And to anyone else who is going through the same thing…. You are not alone. If you can get out of bed everyday and make it through life, one day at a time, you already a champion.
I recommend microdosing mushrooms it has helped treat anxiety depression PTSD and other mental issues, look up the handle they shrooms varieties lsd DMT xanax mmda and other psychedelic products. A mycologist that guided me.....
Smithspores my source for quality shrooms, dmt and more
On ig
have you considered therapy, speaking about your troubles to someone else really goes far.
I feel you ! I take meds and I had really beautiful 4 years almost anxiety free . It’s posible but is a battle definitely. We need to change this constant feeling that we are not enough . You are worthy, you are of high value .
I grew up with anxiety daily so much that I thought it was a normal part of growing up or even just who I was as a person. Now that I'm older, I realized.
How do you cope with that?
I had to learn how to trust myself and other people. I developed a better relationship with myself through practicing meditation and reiki. I created a deep faith and connection with my spiritual self. I healed most of my childhood trauma through hypnosis therapy.
@@eileenlord8705
Great, thanks for telling.😊
Have you suffered abuse?
Are you there on instagram?
@@eileenlord8705 anxiety is being afraid off the unknown, when you step out your comfort zone you can achieve remarkable things.
Anxiety isn't a disease it's a system on brain . It's gets triggered on normal things like getting a abuse after then you kept quiet on while someone being abused you. Trust me if you can able to slap him for abusing you then your anxiety is finished on no time.@@visualjottings5626
I feel her exact words and feelings. I recently realised it is anxiety after living 30 years like the she lives now. Always worrying, never positive. Always problems. I finally took courage and contacted therapist who helped me. So all anxiety ridden people out there, there is nothing wrong with you, you are perfect. Things will get better! It is never to late to ask for help..
@Elxphant I feel you. But please talk about it and get help. You matter, you have a value. You will never stop feeling negative but at some point it will get better, you will handle it. I am here for you..
@Elxphant Please don't stab yourself. Reach out.
i love you
Can I contact you please?

Anxiety has ruined my life. Feel for this young lady as I know the struggle she must have gone through.
Hope she goes on to live a fulfilled life.
Same, everything she said, it was like listening to myself. Are you any better today? This is hell on earth 😔
What a brave and lovely young woman. We’ll done for being able to talk about it
Absolutely ridiculous. Being neurotic is not bravery.
@@thebigredwagon your comment says more about your fixed mindset than this 17 year old.
@@joandolliedoyle775 yeah, I’ll remember to go have a good cry about it later. 🤦🏻♂️
@@joandolliedoyle775 nothing even happened to her. This is a normal ass person with a very average story, why are they even on the news.
@@gameproadvancesp148 Maybe consider not clicking on these stories if they are not of interest for you.
I am a sufferer off both anxiety and depression and have been since I was in primary school I am now 31 and it still likes to play games with me. It’s a HORRIBLE ILLNESS to have and I would give anything to make it go away but it won’t and I know that now so I just take it day by day now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bless you
Bless you
I’m 31 also and I’m starting to come to the realisation it will never leave I’ll just have to learn to live with it I hope your doing well take care
Antidepresants?
Antidepressants and talk therapy only works the first few years you have it. After 10 years with the disease (depression)(though depression and anxiety are often found together as they feed off each other), studies have shown it alters your brain, shrinking several parts such as the hippocampus which controls memory and learning and enlarging other areas like the amygdala which deals with fear and other emotions.
Reading these comments is so touching because it makes me feel like people truly understand how I feel and that I can someday find those kinds of people irl to support me.. dont worry. Im going to my second appointment with professional soon.
How are you doing
@@aymaneoulahyane6803 been doing okay. I am still having bunch of anxiety about stuff but when I did go to appointments it did feel like it helped me clear my emotions out better. I had yo stop going due to moving in with my bf but rn I am gonna start going to appointments with a psychologist again hopefully soon.
I cried just by listening to her. So happy that she made it through.
I am so sorry that people go through this, but I'm extremely grateful to you for sharing your story and making me feel less alone
I feel exactly like that right now I can’t go to school or anything but good on her for opening up it’s hard .
Bless her, just heartbreaking when she said she hates herself 💔 so glad mental health is encouraged to be talked about now.. this would of saved this little girls life 🙏 Dr Alex is a tremendous role model
for teenagers and adults alike with mental health 👏
I’d love to know how this brave young woman is these days, as this video is 3 years ago, as I’ve been suffering with chronic anxiety on and off for 6 years, and to talk about it like this knowing it’s going on social media, in my opinion is very brave
I feel anxiety and depressed as an introvert it was very hard and I completely lost my mind and has a dramatic adverse effect on when it comes to finding Relationship with a true one.
Why. Just cause? You’re lucky you know...
I agree relationships are realllyy difficult for me to maintain 😞
I totally agree. I list my mind a year ago due to super anxiety and depression. I freely let myself to be admitted to a looney bin. I said stuff and did stuff to my husband who will never forgive me and isolates himself from me. My marriage is on the edge of cliff right now. I am trying to atone for my mistakes. I live one day at a time and it sucks.
@@user-sj7nh8sn8y how are you today? Is your relationship any better?
Please talk to your husband about your anxiety attacks. It really sucks I know. I too have anxiety attacks, and am scared to hurt other people because of me. One of the worst feelings in the world.
"In today's rush, we all think too much, seek too much, want too much, and forget about the joy of just being." - Eckhart Tolle
What a BEAUTIFUL young lady. Hope she’s ok now.
Same
I find this video super relatable. I’ve suffered from anxiety mostly social for as long as I can remember and for me it feels like I’m on the verge of bursting out crying most of the time. I get so nervous about all the possible scenarios… it becomes super overwhelming
When my mom tells me I have severe anxiety I didn’t know how serious and relatable it was for me until I watched this video.
Anxiety can weight you down all your life
Till you realize it was just a negative thought in your mind, it wasn't really true, but it hurts
I lived with it for years
Still with it, it's hurts, it's like a prison of the mind and brain
Hard to break, you keep having the feelings, it comes with depression and anger. 😢
I have the same symptoms. It comes from emotional abuse for years. Now I getting better. Meditation help me a lot.
I wish I could hug you as much as I miss hugging my own daughter who has not lived with me since she turned 18. ❤️🩹
It's been 3 months since my anxiety and panic attacks started. I feel so pathetic because I can no longer do things that other people do normally. Even entering malls and riding a bus makes me really anxious. I tried to open up to my friends one time but they just laugh on me because they taught that I'm just joking. Luckily, I have a family that understands me and supports me. It's really hard especially that I'm a university student and sometimes I suffer panic attacks while answering quizzes and exams. I can't just say to my professor that I'm having a panic attack because everyone will think that I'm just making an excuse to escape the quiz. Even though I'm suffering from this, I always feel proud to myself whenever I overcome things alone. I feel like I'm so brave and I'm a fighter.
David R. Hawkins, dr. med.:
"Patients often called me with reports of depression, anxiety and anxiety attacks, intense phobias, and sudden bouts of rage. I’d suggest they stop eating sugar until they come in for an appointment, and a quarter of them no longer would experience these symptoms by the time
they saw me. One of the most misdiagnosed medical conditions is functional hypoglycemia. Medical professionals are quick to diagnose patients with these symptoms with ADHD or bipolar disorder without ruling out the possibility of functional hypoglycemia. In fact, low levels of blood glucose can lead to cerebral dysfunction and poor adrenal function, which can cause npredictable changes in temperament and mood swings. By eliminating sugar, patients can eliminate anxiety attacks, insomnia, depression, and even sudden rages."
im 100% like you from almost 1 year i feel unbalanced every day im scared to go somewhere thinking something will happen to me i was to every doctor they can't do anything and this is the worst thing i ever had and i would never imagine it will happen to me something like this sometimes i cant even drink a glass of water trust me im 28 years old guy i was strong always i was smart and strong until in january 2023 in the morning i had something like a attact in my body and i was at the hospital 3 times from that day im totaly a different person im scared to go ti malls shops or in trains busses etc... if i go in places with a high number of people i always get a panic attact and i start to lose the body balance i pray to God to help us and everyone whos suffering from those things.
when i was 17-year-old, i had anxiety disorder, pacnic attact, death feeling, worrying a lot, struggled almost every day . now i am 39, present have no more anxiety disorder syptems, but just body syptums with insomnia, one thing you should know early treatment is much better, i delayed for years to find treatment. stay strong, for me i am working in a company with a good performance. just do it . u can be normal again.
What treatment did you get?
Kya treatment liya
@@sainath398 never heard of that.
She’s amazing for sharing her story..very brave truthful and courageous 💕
Every anxious moment is an opportunity to practice and move away from who you thought you needed to be to who you really are.
Thank you needed this☺️
It's great, that this young little girl has a wonderful support system and figured out early, what's wrong.
Due to extreme violence abuse at home, I developed anxiety and depression when I was around 4/5 years, then kept on developing other conditions like OCD and panic attacks. But I could only realise that just 3 years back. And I'm trying to learn more about it to improve and Sail through and stay afloat without having anyone to support or even to accept and acknowledge what happened to me and what I'm going through on a daily basis, rather some people giving me directions and lot of nonsense with little knowledge about anxiety disorder and dipression and Complex Trauma.
Young little?
You might like reading about attachment theory if to our don't mind me suggesting this. Also avoid watching the news as it's so sad. Nature and good food is very healing.
@@julietcrowson3503 Thanks buddy 😊 xoxo
same brother
This is the same as me , i feel like a mess lol
I'm going through extreme anxiety atm and not eating, work has a big part of contributing to my mental health
I can relate, having general anxiety disorder is scary and heartbreaking because it's like being terrified of almost everything, i feel bad for her but she's awesome and a great person
I liked how he listened to her ❤
This makes me tear up My heart goes out to this lady, I’m 17 aswell and experiencing anxiety, I was also disregarded by cams made to feel like I wasn’t Ill enough. I hope everyone gets the help they are deserved ❤️
You go girl❣️ beautiful story, proud of your strength. I’ve watched my daughter go through similar life challenges.
This topic should be so significantly important, mental health is all we need to understand first we judge or even don’t know anything about how much people struggle
I lost my father to cancer at 15. i started having panic attacks at 17. I remember lying in bed shaking at night. Missing my father very much, I had to manage a big forestry property, go to school, be there for little sister and let go of a promising sports career.
Appreciate how you maintained such a balanced perspective throughout. It's rare and really valuable.
Im 17 and how she explained her symptoms its exactly how I am, recently (just over a year ago) i lost all my friends and my family kinda split apart and it hurt, still hurts but i keep telling myself I'll get help, and Ive tried but where I live I havent gotten much help from therapists at all so i hope to get a new one in a different county
What a brave young lady ❤ Modern life can feel so hard xx
She is very brave to talk and see the person ❤
Can we appreciate the most beautiful scenery in the back. Wow. England has amazing views with all the natural green
i remember having my first anxiety attack at 8 years old. I am now 18 and i have dealt w it but more now since ive graduated it has gotten worse but im trying i know it will get better and i feel like anxiety should be talked about more. growing up i always knew i had it but ive told my parents about it and they would say i was exaggerating which made me not know exactly what i dealing with. im glad im dealing w it now so i know how to exactly help myself and for everyone out there who are dealing w it as well .❤
Im doing better since starting tms treatments . Anxiety is the worst feeling. I hope everyone finds a way to heal and feel peace in life ❤
Amazing young lady. I know of someone in the same boat and have forwarded the video.
I had an anxiety attack yesterday that I wouldn’t wake up when I was trying to go to bed and couldn’t sleep the whole night so good night.
What I try do is imagine someone else telling me they are scared to die in their sleep and how it would song irrational and strange, and you wouldn’t think it would happen. Also all 8 billion people in the world go to sleep and wake up the next day (nearly all) so why shouldn’t you? :)
Take a deep breath, everything’s gonna be ok, love u
❤
I would totally be friends with her. I feel her sm. And what she said at the end was so true and wisely put. I wish everyone going through this a lot of strength.
What an amazing young woman. You're inspirational for me
This has been so helpful. Its something that for me has become much more acute but I didn't realise I've been living with for years in various ways. I haven't been able to put it into words very well but you have brilliantly explained much of what I feel too. Thank you thank you for your eloquence and for sharing. Best wishes to you.
“Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers”
anxiety is real and it hurts a lot of people
Twinsies on the age of first panic attack. Main difference being I'm still at the, "We don't think you're sick enough," even though I have multiple other conditions. I'm also 36 now, so this crap has been going on a loooong time. Sigh. Her story gave me hope for future generations, if only I could feel some
@jessicaj9743 Then that means I mustn't be righteous. I lost my faith in the fundamental Christian God a long time ago. I appreciate you're trying to help though, thanks and best wishes
@jessicaj9743 Amazing verse from the bible.
I struggle with really bad anxiety too i have all my life, i’m trying to not let it take over me, a big struggle for me is going to college but i motivate try motivate, and build up the strength to go, i’m here for all of u
I’m a 14 year old I know it sucks to have it it’s just so exhausting, can’t even do my school work or anything
It started at around 11 years for me that time I didn’t really know or know what to do so it was a really hard time because you know quarantine, so I couldn’t really communicate with any one, I still go through it hoping it can lessen at least at some point 🫶🏻
Just remember everyone is perfect don’t stress yourselves 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Hats Off Bro Don't Worry I know It's Suck Out
started getting anxiety issues at 17. Now I'm 44 and still no further forward. My life has been ruined by this and the lack of help/support from GP's
BTW I'm the same bit younger tho really want to ask the GP for help but know for a fact they will just palm it off
@@hilly451You've got 5 mins with a GP lol not enough time.
Antidepresants?
@@Christian.Raduescu yeah, 17 years on citalopram. No good now
Same. 39 now and my world has shrunk and life is pretty dull.
May every person reading this lines have love, happiness and abundance in life.
And I wish the same for you ❤
As someone who suffers from ANX, panic attacks and DEP, self-h*rm it’s totally relatable and even in my case it started when I was pretty young mean I’m still a student, and it started from fam, 🏫, 🏠, friends, everyone and to top of that almost had dozens of bad experiences from therapists. And almost no one lasted that long with me, even now no one knows about it and I got one therapist who has some spots for students/kids and that’s kinda good but cause of previous experiences I dunno if she will…. But I guess she will cause she was the first who said about that.. during watching this video I got a panic attack too, and after it ended I started texting here don’t mind if you find some grammatical error as my hands somewhat shaking and throat is still dry….
I never really thought about this until I was diagnosed with anxiety and who I was and how I felt about it
I also need to add the she does not owe the charity, she owes herself. She was the one that started talking and it was suggested she go to the non-profit. She put the work and time into herself. She has made the journey herself.
Living with anxiety at a young age can be incredibly challenging, but it's inspiring to see young individuals like the one featured in the BBC documentary sharing their experiences. Dr. Tonmoy Sharma, a distinguished mental health specialist, author, and Sovereign Health institution employ a range of evidence-based techniques, therapies, and compassionate care to help young individuals struggling with anxiety. Testimonies from both employees and patients demonstrate the transformative impact of their services, emphasizing the expert guidance and support provided. Dr. Tonmoy Sharma's advocacy for youth mental health underscores the importance of early intervention and treatment. By offering a combination of therapy, counseling, and medication management, they empower young people to navigate their anxiety and build the skills needed for a more confident and resilient future.
Relatable , and on top of that I have a condition called palpitations 😩💔 Its been real hard but I do believe that it'll get better over time and for anyone reading this going thru the same obstacle 🙏💯
Do you experience your anxiety and palpitations on a daily basis ? How do you cope with it ?
@@Q117-q5p Yes it's every day 😭 but some days are better than others , taking medication from doctor and drinking boiled avo leaves water as a remedy has decreased it to some extent
Thanks.
It's really hard for me to cope with it. And this is my everyday life. I really wish I could make it stop, like stop. Gone for good. Sometimes it feels like I'm dying little by little everyday.
@@tamzzy10565whats ur age if u dont mind?? im just 17 and i have both i feel so bad that at such young age im dealing with all this bs fr no reason
Im a 22 year old man, since January 2024 anxiety hit me and it completely broken me I’ve had depression before but anxiety was the thing that completely ruined me stopped me from going to work, panic attacks, not going to sleep until 3/4AM every night I’m getting better but I just want to see a day where I can get back to work and not live in fear
I’m finding that generating the feeling of love is what is healing my mental illness. I’m pretty sure it can work for you too!
Please can more people see self harm as a symptom of mental health as opposed to something that is to be seen as being shameful or toxic, people struggling with self harm/addiction deserve just as much help as someone who doesn't struggle with those things. Personally for me, PMDD is what has caused many of the instances when I've struggled with self harm, whilst I know some people have empathy for people with scars, I'm aware that often people do still get judged for showing scars even if they're healed scars. I'm trying to be positive but especially with it being summer, trying to live a life where I'm going out into town feels much more scary and exposing now that I have scars and I'm constantly anxious about someone potentially judging my arms.
I totally agree!!
Try not to worry about your arms, I have the same struggles and just know people really don’t notice it as much as you may think and mostly just have sympathy, and if they do judge you they are the issue not you ❤
It's crazy how a total stranger is saying everything I feel and go through, it's like listening to myself talking when watching this video. It's exhausting being this way. I don't want anxiety anymore 😭 it's soul destroying, and debilitating.
it is very hard. I try not to show my anxiety to the other people, but I cry from exhaustion from hopelesness and misery, asking myself why me and when does it end. I missed so many things and I try to convince myself everyday to not give up, that sth has to help eventually
This is exactly how I feel. ☹️

I cry at night thinking about what could happen to me and my family just horrible thoughts spiralling from thinking I have a disease or my family have a disease
Dr uromi on youtube channel can cure you, him is a herbal Doctor i was cured of Herpes and my sister cured of cancer with his herbs why not give is herbs a try today
It’s okay ! We all have horrible thoughts, your not the only person.
I don’t know what part of the spectrum my anxiety is on, but I’d like to think that most days it fluctuates between crippling constant thoughts, heart palpitations and sweating to worrying and being able to distract myself. It depends really. It’s funny, I’m up right now because all that’s in my head is becoming an adult and going to college and everyone else seems to be handling it well enough. As a child, I thought I was normal, but I’ve had to hide my anxiety at times because school, and classmates and peers would look at me weird.
I have had anxiety for years but people who don't have it say what are scared of?
You don't know what you are scared of.
It kind of makes me sad to think that others had their first at older ages. I think that's because I had my first panic attack at the age of 7 after dreaming that my dad was paralyzed and I was all alone. I only found out recently that the part about my father didn't happen in real life, I spent so many years thinking that it actually happened but that's just anxiety. 😢❤
I'm 24 now have anxiety disorder since 13.
There's ups and downs but you must keep yourself in balance 50/50 with work and rest 50/50 with mind and activities.
Get rid of people who cause you any type of discomfort.
Avoid alcohol.
Find 1 hobby what you like and stick to it.
Remember B12, magnesium,D3,GABA, water.
GYM helps a lot.
Try not to overthink.
You will be okay ❤ trust me 🙌
Smile and be kind ☀️
Anxiety will be, the death of me
What hurts is reading these comments and seeing how uneducated we all were. I wasn’t believed to have anxiety until I was 17, after having dealt with it since age 5, but still wasn’t diagnosed until almost 21 by my primary before being diagnosed by my first psych at almost 23. Growing up told you’re fine and nothings wrong or believing you’re crazy. Like, the thoughts we are forced to struggle with. And we don’t even know what it is. It’s sad. It’s why I am so open now with everything.
As someone who has been diagnosed with anxiety by a doctor I can totally relate. Sometimes you get so damn scared about nothing and I stopped eating for days at a time because I would like puke it up every time because of it
anxiety is an awful thing, i'm literally 15 and i suffer with panic attacks almost daily.. sometimes i don't even know what i'm panicking about.
anxiety about having anxiety is literally the most misunderstood aspect of the disorder. sometimes the reason you’re panicking is because you don’t want to panic and it’s extremely hard to treat. i feel you
@@hepppythis is so true 😭 everytime I feel the tiniest bit anxious, my mind convinces me it’s a big thing and I’ll never be happy again and then I get scared of being anxious which makes me even more anxious
I suffer one panic attack I thought I was gonna die😮 I couldn’t breath thankfully there is treatment for it cause I was so scared😢
I can completely relate. I am a teen who struggles with anxiety so bad and developed an ED for 4 years and a reliance on SH for 6 years.😭
I have struggles with all the same things, just know it defiantly does get better but it takes time :) I hope you are doing okay love
@@hannahmartha1625 thank u so much that means a lot 🥹🥰

Great you shared on this. I suffered silently for 30 years until I became so sick that nobody could ignore it. The general practitioners totally failed me it was wcada in swansea that pushed the doctors to get me a mental health assessment. They looked through my doctors records and said it was glaringly obvious I had GAD and MDD I had turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism but it's progressive if not treated or understood as was my drinking problem progressive. I just didn't know how to escape what I didn't know I had. I personally asked my mental health assessor if it was a easy diagnosis and she admitted it was. I was under about 20 different G P's in house shrinks too in my opinion they are pretty terrible with all mental health. We need to talk to likeminded people as other earthlings just don't understand our alien problems.if you tell someone you have a anxiety disorder they don't realise that it's grouped in with ocd and was once grouped with ptsd. GAD was previously grouped as one illness which was GAD and panic disorder. Now they tend to separate them and say GAD with panic attacks or panic disorder as a separate issue. They fail to mention much about really extreme muscle tension horrendous insomnia and punishing intrusive thoughts. It's clear to me alcohol is what added to my shut down but why wouldn't I drink when it seemed the cure. I quit drinking 4 years ago and attend A.A meetings now. Those meetings and the 12 steps are the best counselling for any mental health condition. The steps are not about alcohol really they are about a bridge to normal living and a coping mechanism for mental health. Since diagnosis changed for mental health in 2018 so many people in the A.A rooms have been diagnosed with other disorders. I was always going to try to take the pain away or perhaps I would have self harmed instead of drinking but now I can see clearly I was self harming with alcohol. I hope your future will be rewarding it's possible to cope and long as you don't use illicit drugs or prescription drugs e.g valium or sleepers, anti depressants are acceptable but not a cure. Psychotherapy (talking) to likeminded people is really the best help. I go on a walk and talk I found on Facebook and its been a revelation, absolutely lovely people and they make me laugh, I had stopped laughing at all.
You're not alone I feel the same way
I know how you feel. I suffering anxiety disorder,depression too. BUT I TRY ENJOYED MY LIFE AND I TRY TOO LOVE MYSELF THEN.

People can get anxiety from relatives bullying you
This is how I got it
Such a lovely girl. I hope she pulls through. Very pretty also. ❤
how lucky of her that found the right people 😢i have a lot of ahit in my mind, im 20, now it is all pilled up
Only 35 k views one year later. Do people really ignore such problems? I am a gen z and suffer from anxiety. It was a struggle to get through a uni, I was constantly overwhelmed. Nearly all my friends received treatment for depression or anxiety. It is just scary. You might say that people who are not diagnosed are healthy, but in my experience they develop a “denial mechanism”. So many times I heard “if I do not think about it, it does not exist”
Nah people are just scared to talk about these issues.
Sadly its the system we live in that makes people so depressed.
Install this words in your mind system. you can defeat anxiety easily..
"i don't fear the fear"
"i commit loving myself and people around me"
"this too shall pass"
Relax.. Everything will be ok 😊.
I’ve been struggling with my mental health on and off since I was 5-6 years old my mental health went really bad at 16 when I started having vicious panic attacks it controlled my life I went to camhs but my nurse neglected me it came back again close to two weeks ago and has begun controlling my life again I wouldn’t wish what I’ve had to go through on my worst enemy it is constant torment and torture and it sucks
I have OCD and GAD. It's like it's mixed or something. I would worry like A LOT that I don't even know when I'm overthinking or not being normal BUT in specific situations that would shift into another topic. Like one month I would obsess over one topic than the next month I would obsess over another. It's exhausting!
One of the reasons why people with anxiety don't explain anxiety very often and get longer to talk about that is because the consequences trigger anxiety with more intensity than one can imagine. One example is her mother's reaction on the video, I can imagine her daughter getting worried about what she said affecting her mother's health...
Am I the only one or does she seem like a very bright, beautiful girl? What she is saying does not seem to be her. I understand that the self is much different the what the outside world sees. She really has a handle on what she is going through and has had some very good help. She can describe exactly what she was going through at the time and all the aliments she has. I wish the best for her and her mom.
watching this while staying home because i had a panic attack before school
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once
That’s me for sure!
That's how I felt as a teenager too. So ugly and not worth loving. I was pretty though. I was even voted the most beautiful girl in the year. Great how she can reflect on that. I couldn't do that back then. Wonderful to have Alex supporting her. An important video. Many young people are like you. At the time I thought I was the only one.
@AvrilLavigne-xi1ce Thanks, I know. I follow him.
Hoping the video help me , currently having an anxiety attack
Well done Rosie
For last 10 years or soi suffer with bad anxiety. Most days I will curl up in a ball and cry , I won't eat or sleep and I will be physically sick. Anxiety isn't fun with constant thoughts going through the mind.
