    I LOVE the end of your video. U r right. Spread love because so many people are dealing with so much crap, smile, tell them it'll be ok.....love others and u end up loving yourself more as well.....I have learned that.

    WOW!! So many people requested this video and now so many people have negative comments. You can't win!
    I have anxiety and when I watched this I was not thinking, "she's not a doctor, why is she talking about this".. I thought, "this is HER PERSONAL experience with anxiety".. she said SEVERAL times that this was **her** experience. She's not claiming to be a Dr., she's not claiming everyone has the same experience. Everyone experiences anxiety differently and this is how SHE deals with it.

    Thank you for sharing this. I also suffer from anxiety/panic disorder. It is so difficult to pull yourself up and out of it. My husband has been my biggest supporter with my issues. I have done therapy, medications and have cut out my meds because of the very reasons you said. I am 6 months into learning mindfulness and meditation and I found that helps me 75% of the time- the other times, I have became comfortable asking out for help and support from my family. Thank you for supporting those of us battling this, often we feel alone which triggers more anxiety and panic. You are a good soul for helping others. 💖

    Sylvia, thanks so much for sharing your personal story. I think you hit it on the head with the discussion of racing thoughts causing inability to focus and sometimes also causing anxiety where you have the planning thoughts of trying to play out every scenario to find the result in a "scary" situation. I do all of that and the brain is really an amazing place, it can change how you feel I.e. Comfortable versus anxious just by letting those planning thoughts take control and let you spiral into having an issue.
    I am really thinking about how you said to rest as my anxious nature also makes me schedule myself all day long. If I wake up at night I literally start thinking about what I need to do the next day. I need to learn to schedule rest as a regular part of my life.
    Again, thank you for sharing. I really love that you're brave enough to do so, and I already saw a few comments were people are questioning the words you said; but it's your opinion and that's the great thing about UA-cam. It's a place where opinions and your own experiences are all shared and matter to those who care to view.
    Thanks!

    You truly are incredible. I was diagnosed with Acute PTSD a year ago. I have never struggled with Anxiety or Depression in my life until about 2 years ago. I honestly thought I was going to die during my first panic attack. Then I got so afraid of having another panic attack, which would induced one. Haha. This is something that I struggle to talk about with people do to the stigma surrounding it. I think you are right on with the social media point as well. We live in an age where we are comparing our whole life, good, bad and ugly, to other people's best moments. People dont post the tough stuff. Thank you for your bravery in making this video and sharing your light and love with us.

    Thank you for talking about this! I've had anxiety literally my whole life and I know that it is chemical because I can be completely happy and calm mentally and then a panic attack comes out of nowhere. It's nice to know that there are other people who understand that too.

    Thank you so much for sharing this information with your followers. As I mentioned last week on your live video I suffer severely from anxiety and I am currently on medication to help cope. For you to take the time to make a video regarding this topic so quickly goes to show what a genuine and kind person you truly are!!! You are putting yourself out there on such a personal subject and for that, I admire and commend you!
    Learning about hair and other interesting topics you speak about on utube have kept me so distracted these past couple of weeks...I've actually found it relaxing. I've learned so much on how to keep my blonde hair healthy and toned while doing it myself(at home). I personally cannot sit still in a salon for a long period of time as I get very anxious. I love the tips on make up and skincare not to mention your fun videos in general. I have found it to be very therapeutic for me (Relaxing)!!! This keeps my mind relaxed and I get out of my own head for that time. My hair alone has changed dramatically these last weeks. For a woman in her mid 40's that is important to me.
    Btw, my 13 year old son got me started on utube when my hair turned lavender. He said, utube has videos on everything nowadays and here I am!!! Sorry to ramble on!!!

    Everything you said about anxiety is so spot on and exactly how I’m experiencing it too! I missed an Ariana Grande concert last year because of my anxiety issues and I had the ticket already and everything but decided not to go at the end I chickened out 😢 I’m working on not missing any more opportunities though because I love Ariana so much and this just goes to show how bad my anxiety is sometimes and how crippling can it be. It’s awful. ASMR helps a LOT! Love your videos so much! You are gorgeous

I had SO much anxiety that i legit thought i was going to throw up, but i felt SO proud of myself for doing it and my family was proud of me too

    So happy you did these 2 videos on Anxiety. I deal with it I’m a lot better than I was in my 20s . So many people don’t know or want to hear about it. You are so right it could be something that happened 3 months ago. I always try to think 🤔 ok Alyssa what’s deep down bothering you... I can’t believe I just came across these videos they just popped up. Thank you for being so open and honest . I wish more people were. 💕💗

    I lost my dad in 2005, and my mother in 2010 from alheimerz- dementia, and have been taking care of her with my twin for the last 10 years of when it first started. Then my twin- sister started to get mentally ill were she started hearing things auditory and got super sick. ALL this the last 10 years has been very eye opening physically and mentally and now because OF ALL I experienced, I MySELF started getting early anxiety a year and a half ago and recently got so bad in May that MY mind was unable to function with, talking to people, working and changed my whole personality. I MENTALLY felt like I was loosing myself! I tried everything I could read about, I did yoga, medation, vitamin relief calming, anxiety vitamins.. Nothing worked for my relief completely. I decided to turn to medication as a last resort IN May. NOW in july being on it, I defiantly feel a difference. I feel like I'm getting back to myself and can be around people, and talk and think CLEARER than I was😥☺. I think anxiety comes from experiences, and how much impact and duration you have dealt with your experiences. life happens and to some of us we get the worst of it that it damages us slowly. I see NOW how the homeless get homeless and so much more . Anyway YES always be kind to EVERYONE, they could be going through a Battle no-one can see physically.❤
    ps. LOVE Ellebangs for doing this, I couldn't put it in a video as beautifully as she has! Too those of you with the anxiety of any illness.. WE ARE THE TRUE WARRIORS 💜. The Battle is REAL and there is relief!

    I love your honesty especially about anxiety and depression. I started watching your channel to get some hair tips and became a huge fan. I really wish I lived closer so you could do my hair. You are very knowledgeable and wise and kind. Don't let others bring you down. Let those of us that love you do just that.

  • @lmac1549
    @lmac1549 7 років тому

    I love that you bring multitudinous topics to light on your channel. Anxiety truly can be debilitating, thus lifestyle changes, "rest" (rest is huge!), and self-awareness play a powerful role in overcoming the challenges faced by the imbalances one may have. I support your choices to avoid medication if/ when possible. ln the past, I had taken taken Klonopin and atenolol. Atenolol really helped rapid heart palpitations, and Klonopin, though it calmed me, made me quite tired. Lifestyle changes have helped the most. Putting our challenges out there *without stigma nor embarassment*, will help those that need it. We can only help those that put open to our assistance, anyhow. *Thanks for the vid* (love your eyeshadow, btw), and *stay awesome*. It's really great that you have parents that were empathetic.

    @alizedejesus349 7 років тому

    This video has brought me to tears because I could relate to every. single. word you said. I have been suffering from anxiety since I was 14 years old due to a violent household. I am 19 years old now and I live with my boyfriend, and still today although I am away from the horrible memories, it still haunts me and I still get anxiety here and there. Your advice and coping methods help a lot because through out the 5 years I was suffering, I had no idea how to cope with it. I just leaned on marijuana and alcohol. I soon came to a realization that those drugs were just hurting me more than it was healing me. I am not going to lie, it felt good at the moment but after the drugs wore off, I felt 10x worse. I will use your advice to the best capacity, because I do not want to take any medication. Like you said, those medications don't heal you, they just cover you like a band-aid. Thank you so much for this video!

  • @Lwhiteside23

    Thank you for this. I've been dealing with another bout of anxiety lately and I absolutely hate it. I really like your perspective about how it's temporary and it's not forever because every time I get into these episodes I feel like it's never going to stop even though I've spent plenty of time not being anxious.

  • @evenlyanxious
    @evenlyanxious 7 років тому

    This is my favorite video you've ever done, Silvia. I've had anxiety for 26 years, and I could have spoken every single word you did, except for the medication part. I regret that I ever started taking it, because I did and still am 26 years later! You were so "real" and "you" in this video, and I appreciated and missed that. You're very wise and well-spoken. Interestingly, in my research, I found that it isn't possible to have panic attacks at the level we have them without having a very high IQ, and the intelligence with which you spoke of your experiences and thoughts clearly reveals that. Thank you for putting these thoughts into a video so that others could get a better idea of what a real anxiety disorder feels like. Take care, rest, and then push yourself - that's great advice, and what I'm gonna do! (PS: I am one of the moderators for Hair Chat on FB! I love doing it to help you!)

    As you described your symptoms at the beginning of this, I thought, I wonder if she has adrenal fatigue, because it sounded JUST like me. Then you said it and my heart jumped! Because it means I'm not alone. I've been on a mineral balancing program for 2 years in recovery from adrenal fatigue. Thanks for sharing - it helps spread awareness surrounding a problem that very few traditional doctors are talking about! Thank goodness for holistic doctors who are willing to do the investigative work necessary to uncover the real problem rather than just prescribing pills to band-aid our symptoms. I'm not against prescriptions, and I still take some that I need, but I'm thankful to be on the road to natural health as well. Thanks again for sharing, be blessed in your healing journey, friend! 🙏🏼

    I'm there with you, have had GAD and panic disorder for ten years now. It took me a couple years to accept it, and I know the things I need to do to start healing...I think, but mostly even though I have some really hard days/weeks I know to keep positive, send out to the universe what you would want to get back. Don't know you, but sending you awesome vibes ad wishing you the best life!!

    I just love you so much !
    You are like my soul sister ;) I always say that exact thing ("you never know what battles people are facing. So don't take a dirty look that someone gives you to heart. ")And if you think that they are judging you and that's why the look, then usually it's because they are thinking the same thing, that you are thinking bad about her. The point is, you don't know if that person just got news about an illness, on themselves or their dear child or anything for that matter. And if they are just being jerks, then that says something about their character... not yours. !
    Here's my line that I live by and try and teach my daughter to do the same ... "if you see someone without a smile, give them yours "
    I love your sensitive and loving heart, and am so glad I found this channel. :)
    My mom works with all kinds of people with disabilities like ADHD,ADD, depression, anxiety, and she always tells me that people always judge because they look at you and think that you dot have anything wrong. Because you're disease is invisible. Very true, it's hard for people got understand the reasons we are how we are. But that's okay. I LOVE the differences in people. Honestly. I think that it's the "imperfections" and "disabilities" that make everyone unique. Like someone who has a birthmark on their face, or a large scar, or even a fake leg.. I LOVE that and find it attractive in people because there's no one else like them and it sets them apart from the world. And you can't spell disABILITY without ABILITY, right ?;) everyone who has strengths, has weaknesses. Like look at autism and tell me that those people aren't amazing !? They are so special in so many ways because of their "disease" or whatever it's called (I'm sorry if that's offensive but I don't refer to it as anything but just autism)
    They have these unbelievable ABILITIES that you don't find in any "normal" people ! I love the diversity in the world. It would be one boring ass place if we were all the same ;)
    I'm ADHD/ADD combined type (the worst kind) and I have it severe. Well I did growing up, now I'm 29 and barely suffer from it anymore. Anxiety and depression still !
    Anyway it's great to meet you and I'm looking forward to raping your channel until I catch up on all the videos :) oxxo

    Thanks Silvia! I think this is a great video! I completely understand and love how you explained how there is a difference with how the body reacts "in the moment" vs. when your just having bad thoughts...and that the thoughts can be so much worse!!! Ive found for myself this to be so true as well! Its helped me too, to cope when I have anxiety to know that I can handle anything in the moment. Its the fear of what "might happen" thats crippling. I feel like for me, its been a helpful distinction so I can try and not let my thoughts/fears overwhelm me. Again, thanks for sharing the love. :)

    @shelbyvillalobos7216 7 років тому +11

    With such a stigma behind this very topic it's sad that there are so many negative comments. I didn't hear her say that this is what will work for everyone. I believe she said that this is what works for her. And anyone who has suffered from anxiety can tell you that each episode is different and it's figuring out the right cocktail to get you through it. I personally prefer medication as a last resort. I prefer to try holistic approaches first. If that fails I step into medication. When friends tell me they have anxiety episodes, I always tell them things that have and have not worked for me in the past and let them know that you have to try everything and figure out what's best for you. Everyone with anxiety issues learns that. Nobody is saying medication is bad for everyone. It's the only thing that will help some people and at some times it's been the only thing that's helped me through. I think this was a well intentioned video that people are picking apart for no reason. It's a shame. This could potentially be helping many people by giving new ideas to add to their routine to help them combat anxiety.

And at the end of they day I will be criticized regardless, but if it's even helping one person feel better it's totally worth it to be picked apart. Maybe they just didn't get the message at the end of the video. 💛

I 26, its ridiculous. I tried no meds for over a year and I couldn't leave my house!

    Then, when I checked your web page, UA-cam videos and I came across your story. And that gave me optimism and motivation.

I'm of Spanish origin (well half Spanish and half Swedish, I was brought up in Sweden) and I'm so happy to see that blond hair actually can work on people from southern Europe without it looking corny and artificial. I want your color but it has taken over a year to almost get there. Next time I'll bring your picture to the salon and say "I want this! And I want it now!" :)

    I have social anxiety but not generalized anxiety, especially since October. I'm on medication for it and I think it was the right thing for me as the medication made me ok enough to be able to push myself. Also, I'm starting a new job this next week and I'm freaking out. Without medication I don't know if I could do it.

    I have been feeling this way for a couple years and I thought I was fine until we had to put my dog to sleep... it just got worse because he was my best friend, even though I have 2 small children, I have the best husband ever and I stay home with my kids. I don't want to feel this way, but people make feel me feel like this. I have been told some rude comments (mostly from my mother in law). But I have been "trying" to have better control of how I feel. Mostly staying away from my MIL 😂
    I have been using essential oils from Young Living and it has been helping a lot. I been out in nature and it seems to help and getting ready in the morning to help me tackle the day. Thanks for sharing this! I totally know how you're feeling/explaining your struggle. Xoxo

    I think it's a beautiful testimony to your strength and courage that you are pushing through, one fear at a time and triumphing-well done! Also, your compassion for others is an important aspect of what you have allowed to come forth from what can be a dark and difficult journey. In my own walk through anxiety the book , The Battlefield of the Mind, by Joyce Meyer, changed my life by teaching me that we don't have to passively sit by and 'think' every 'thought' that comes into our mind. Instead, we can train our minds to stop those negative, fearful thoughts, from ballooning by shutting them down and choosing True thoughts that are positive and life-giving. Another wonderful speaker, and author is Dr. Carolyn Leaf who has spoken about the power both negative thoughts and positive thoughts have. They both look differently when the brain is in an MRI. Negative thoughts cause dark pathways to be carved out in the brain while Positive thoughts cause pathways of Light to be carved into our brain-Amazing, right?! Keep up the good work, and continue creating those light pathways

    Your right .. I was 16 When I started having severe anxiety, Then it went into a full blown disorder. I am now 43 and have to say it does get better. But It has affected my life in many ways. I still have a hard time traveling out of my safe zone, And I want to be able to so badly, but that What if gets in my way. I am working on it, I cannot focus at all when I very anxious. I can here someone talking and cannot tell you one thing you said. But I also am on medication which has helped me personally, But mainly my faith, and like you said this to shall pass. I also am blessed with a wonderful husband who has always been there to encourage me through the years.

When I should of not even thought about it my doctor tells me not to think of any
    anything before I go

    • @zillahmills8351

      Scenario your not going to die so don't overthink I have had duvet days When I've had too because I just couldn't face the world. Sometimes I step out of the door and feel like it's a stage and your putting on an act of being ok with the world just thinking I've got lipstick on I've done my make up conturing and I've painted on a smile!! I do so admire you for your honesty about yourself I think your great! And an inspiration to all of us who suffers with the dreaded anxiety don't let it follow you all the way through life like I did get rid of it now while your young lots of hugs and special thoughts to you your friend zillah 👱🏻‍♀️🙋😀keep smiling😍🙏🏽 and don't let it beat us ❤️💛💜

    my husband has had really bad anxiety lately, and he saw a hypnotherapist and it got *significantly* better in just TWO sessions! it's really amazing how the therapist was able to get to the ROOT of anxiety so quickly, which helped because it's not just covering up the symptoms. just a thought for those who are still searching for help...check it out in your area. we found this therapist through Yelp and really combed through the reviews to see if they seemed legit.

    This video is great and it's wonderful that you are sharing your experience with mental health issues. However I think that you may be confusing ADHD with ADD. ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is the more hyperactive can't sit still, talks too much, and/or fidgety (sometimes accompanied by some reckless behavior) while ADD (attention deficit disorder) is more of the simply can't focus or forgetfulness scale of it. Thank you again for sharing this video! 💕💕

    I've always suffered with anxiety, but last year it really came to a head and I am still on medication. Some days I get random thought popping into my head and I catastrophise things. It's really hard, especially when you don't get much support. Thanks for talking about an important subject x

    I think it would be in your viewers best interest to put a disclaimer about taking medication. It is actually good for SOME people with anxiety disorders to take medication, and it isn't always just "bottling everything up".
    For anyone reading this- if you need to take medication for your anxiety, or any other mental illness, THAT IS OK. There is nothing wrong with having to take medication!! Don't feel bad about it! Only you and your doctor know what's going on and what treatment is in your best interest. Stay strong!
    Edited for misunderstanding.

    • @Ellebangs

      +ashley Lynn yes this was in no way saying never to take medication, but I get asked a lot whether I do take anything for anxiety. I did say in the video I was going to talk about "my" anxiety and how I deal with it. I am obviously not a doctor just a suffered like many and wanted to share my story. Thanks for watching lovely!

    • @jeannecathcart5549

    • @properashl
      @properashl 7 років тому

      ellebangs ok! I must have misunderstood then. There are just so many people who persuade people in the direction of medication being bad or wrong, or like the other commenter saying mental illness is a theory that has always been hypothetical.. it gets frustrating at best I guess.

    • @KFOish
      @KFOish 7 років тому +1

      ashley Lynn ppl can very aware or sensitive to med shaming. I hope viewers understand she was telling her experiences and not suggesting other should or shouldn't follow a treatment. It could have been more clear in the video but I'm glad there's discussion here and hope there's support for all viewers' choices and needs.

I have only left my house 14 times this year, so I know all about anxiety. The only thing that really helps me is praying and reading motivational books.
