Wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has been messaging me on here and commenting on here with love, support and seeking advice! You all are amazing and just wanted to let you all know you have touched my heart with your stories and word of encouragement. Whenever you need someone, I am here for you! You are not alone.. Emily x
Girl you are not alone! I have been suffering from horrible anxiety my whole life. I eventually hope I can get up enough courage to film a video on it like you have! So amazing of you to be so open and share your feelings
you hit the nail on the head when you said it's really hard to describe anxiety to other people. it sucks. you are definitely not alone girl. I know it took a lot to make this video.
You are so brave for sharing this! So many people are ashamed to admit anything to do with mental health, when really SO many people suffer. I too am a Christian, and without God, I don't know how anyone can deal with it. I have suffered with Panic and Anxiety especially the last few years since I have had health issues, and it truly is awful. The good news is there are so many more resources out there now. Besides praying and turning it over to God since it's too big for us, like you said a good diet, staying active, EFT, CBT, and also a really good thing is a blessings/happiness journal. If you write everything you are happy about every single day, it really does change your life! I'll keep you in my prayers, I am so sorry you went through that today. I'm also an Esthetician, and another thing that helps IS our jobs being in a spa environment- we have a really relaxing atmosphere luckily so whenever I would be giving a facial and have nice, soft music on, I will pray throughout the time in my head to just add more time in with God and help keep me grounded- Good luck and keep up the great work with your videos- you really are touching more lives than you know. Love you!
I'm 21 and I've suffered from anxiety for a long, long time. Your so right in saying that no one knows how you feel or can understand it when they haven't gone through it personally. Many of the people who know me have no idea I suffer from anxiety & panic attacks. I've learned that so many people have anxiety and panic attacks, especially girls. Your so brave for coming out and talking about it. I wish we were friends in real life! Keep your head up and find strength in knowing they are a lot of us out there who are going through the same thing
So glad you touched on this subject. I'm 18 and have been suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar, and panic attacks since I was about 7 (that was when I had my first panic attack that I can remember) and I actually just had a trip to the hospital a couple days ago for trying to commit suicide by choking myself and gave myself a bad confusion on my neck.. I pretty much constantly have anxiety, and it has gotten so bad that the other day I was just making food in the kitchen and all the sudden got a sharp pain through my chest that continued for about an hour and a half before I made another trip to the hospital (come to find out it was a panic attack) but I wasn't really anxious, or in an argument or anything with anyone to trigger it, it just happened. That's when I realized my anxiety has gotten to it's breaking point, I get attacks everyday now. It's absolutely terrifying. People can always judge and call you weak and think you're just stupid, but it is truly living hell, and they have absolutely no idea the toll it takes on you. I guess I'll end this novel now LOL, but just wanted to thank you for touching on this subject so people who don't know how it can affect a person can get an idea. Stay strong! Everyone! We're strong, we will over come this and one day hopefully be able to manage it, if you don't already have it under control.
You aren't alone! I suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression all throughout high school up until a year ago. I was seeing a psychiatrist and taking prescription meds to help with it. I too found myself smoking and drinking to ease the pain. Giving it to God was my best decision because he completely healed and refreshed me. I am glad you had the courage to upload this. I am sure many girls can relate! Will be praying for you
Thank you so much for posting this video. No one in my family/ close friend group has chronic anxiety or panic attacks. I feel like someone understands. A million times thank you
Aw you're seriously so brave for posting this! I've suffered from panic attacks as well ever since I was 10 years old. Everything you described about them is completely accurate! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Emily, I am so proud of you. I am 28 years old and have had anxiety/depression/panic disorders since 6th grade. It is something that I have always hoped to grow out of but doubt I will. Im afraid of what will happen when I get pregnant and may have to get off my medications. Look at the discussions you have started! Hopefully getting people like us to talk about our issues will help it not be such a taboo subject! We should not be embarrassed by who we are.
Omg you're exactly like me. It is so hard to explain it to people and you don't know why. I have heart palpitations and in high school I would have many panic attacks and I wouldn't know why just like you said. I've work 2 holter monitors and the doctors examine my nose and throat because sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. The tingling in your hands I get, the bit of numbing in the feet, I get extremely light headed to the point I feel like I'm going to pass out or something, but luckily I haven't had any since the first year of college. I think I only had a couple or a few in the first year of college and haven't really had any since and I'm in my 2nd year. Scariest thing ever and thank you for having the courage to put this kind of a video out there. I'm here for you as well just like you're here for all of us :) thank you! :)
OMG... girl i can relate to this soooo much! I suffer from anxiety & like you said, if you have ever met me you would have never guess that I'm actually "depressed" deep down inside, i am the most bubbly person you would probably ever meet, but when i come home from school or something, i don't feel that way anymore.... when you were explaining you panic attack... i realized that i have had those MANY times before... and i didn't even know what it was or why i felt the way i did.. & now i know. Thank you SOO much for sharing! You are a hugeeee inspiration to me!
I Totally understand girl! I've had them before and my husband has had them even worse. It's a very difficult thing to go through. I'm happy you opened up...it will help you! 😘
No judge here girl! I started having them a few years ago and didn't know what they were until I finally went to hospital because you feel like your having a heart attack! Your heart is thumping and I couldn't sit still, I paced, pressure in my head, racing mind and it was racing about how I was feeling. I had quit smoking for 3 years and started back to calm me down. And no that's not a good choice but it was mine and it's what helped me at the time! (I have quit since then). I was on anxiety meds too but gained weight from them. It is the most awful feeling so I know exactly how you are feeling!!!!! I don't have them as bad now but when I do I just try to take deep breaths and talk my way out of it, or lay down and go to sleep to calm me! Don't feel like you will be judged, you are human, and a lot of people suffer from all kinds of "Silent" diseases. Where it all looks good on outside but you do suffer from something on the inside that's not always visible to everyone else. Sorry for the ramble, just know your not alone! P.S. Go Reds! I live in Dayton OH your neighbor Take care!
I just found your channel And i love it! I suffer with really bad Anxiety/Panic attacks to the point where it has effected my life so Much in a bad bad way. I started getting it in 6th grade and now 21. Please know that you are not alone!! I just want to give you a big hug!!! Sending love
I also deal with Anxiety and Panic Attacks....I have been going thru it for seven years.....it got so bad that I was afraid to leave my room, my house..I wanted to sit in the dark...I tried meds and it seem to have made it worst...so I turned to God and ever since, I haven't had one in three months...its an amazing feeling..I feel free...FINALLY....God is amazing....I'll keep you in my prayers
Wow Emily I am so happy you filmed this..I have horrible horrible anxiety/panic attacks starting in middle school as well. You are definitely helping a lot of people by doing this and using your popularity for good to reach people that suffer from the same things.
I think it is incredibly brave of you to share this with us! I myself have been struggling with panic attacks and anxiety since junior high. i have been through ALOT that most people my age wouldn't and shouldn't' ever have to go through, but i recently made the decision to get help and will be starting therapy and a new medicine this week. Keep praying and know that God will never leave your side, Em. He's ultimately what will help us the most. Good luck with your journey to deal with this and i'll be praying for you! P.S. Can't wait for the bridal series. i think it'll be sooo much fun to watch!!
Glad to hear someone else say this out loud. Thank you so much for posting this! You are brave for being able to let this out and put it in a video. You really are not alone. I have also had anxiety for years, and had a panic attack for the first time a few months ago. It was horrible! Like you say other people really don't understand, and look at you like you are crazy if you try to explain to them. Once again thanks for posting this
My boyfriend doesn't really believe in anxiety... But I have it really bad and I'm constantly feeling alone, so I really have no one to talk to about it. Thank you so much for this video! xo
You are very brave! I am 15 and I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. You described them perfectly and it helps me know it gets better. I have ways to calm myself down which includes praying too. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to know that you're not alone. I have been struggling for years and none of my family or friends can relate so it just makes me feel like I must be going crazy. I'm so grateful that you posted this video.
Honey thank you so much! I actually was having a panic attack and decided to go here and watch your video to take my mind of of it a little. I have them when I drive sometimes too, especially when it's a long distance. My husband does not understand where I'm coming from and thinks I'm crazy. It's sucks to leave like this ! Thank you for being honest.
You are definitely not alone! I have suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks since i was 9 years old... crazy right? my point is that you are not alone and we are all here to guide you through these difficult times! love you
You are very strong to be able to film a video about this subject. I've suffered from severe anxiety and a panic disorder for about 8 years. My sister is my safe person..she knows how it feels with anxiety & knows how to calm me down. My fiancé does not understand anxiety at all & he helps me the best he can tho. I struggle everyday with anxiety...I hope you only get better and know how many people you have helped with this video :)
I nodded my head throughout the entire video... I have anxiety about everyday... It's ugly.... I love how very similar I am able to relate to you! I've been suffering for about two years...
I love that you had the courage to upload this video. A lot of people don't understand anxiety/panic attacks so they won't get it, but I know exactly what you mean. I leave it all in the Lord's hands because he is the ultimate healer!!!! :):):) and I know that for a fact.
wow, this seriously just made me feel better. i thought i was alone & that nobody understood what i felt until i saw this video. thank you soooo much for sharing.
Hi Emily, I could totally relate. I've been suffering for a long time now. and it usually happens numerous times a day everyday. It really is the scariest feeling and i wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy. I usually get it cause I'm so nervous about getting another one that it brings on another one. Even as i'm writing this, Im deep breathing to get a full breath. To anyone out there I really hope you get through this tough time.
Thank you for doing this! I have had anxiety for about half of my life. It's terrible, and you're right, no one knows how you feel. I have been on the lightest of dose of Xanax once a day for several years, and that has seemed to help quite a bit! I have that horrible feeling of nausea and shortness of breath...horrible. I have an extremely hard time dealing with any and all matters that I don't have control over. It's a very tough thing to deal with. Again, thank you for your bravery.
I am sooo happy you posted this video! It makes me feel like I'm not the only one dealing with this! I've had anxiety since elementary school, and I still have it to this day. Its not easy to deal with at all. I feel very alone a lot on the way that I'm feeling because nobody I personally know has had anxiety like me. It makes things hard. But I pray and ask for God to help me through my rough times. I just need to learn to relax and everything will be okay. Anyways I love watching your videos and I'm always looking forward to your new videos! :)
You are so brave! You are not alone by any means. I feel like I might have anxiety as well especially because none of what you said sounded "crazy" to me. It sounded more relatable. Thank you for sharing a fraction of your story! I'm sure myself and others would love to see another video like this soon when you muster up the courage again! :)
OMG girl I understand you 100% I also have anxiety..it's the craziest feeling ever..I feel like mine has gotten worse as I get older :( ..what happens to me I can't even go to the grocery store with out being nervous or scared like it gets hard to breath & I start sweating! It sucks! And yes you are right only some one with anxiety will know how u feel or understand..I TRY to control it but it's hard sometimes & I was also on medicine for it but they made me feel funny so I got off and now I'm just trying to deal with it..but anyway I just wanted to share and & thanks for sharing your story I KNOW it was a hard thing to do! :)
This is so brave posting this on the internet, but so many people will be able to relate. I have suffered with bad anxiety since childhood. I actually don't have any memory of not suffering with anxiety. I have had several panic attacks during adulthood as well. It's so hard. Thanks for sharing!
I lovee you girl, I know its not easy making a video of having to live\deal with anxiety & panic attacks. Your right though nobody but God can help us. I was diagnosed last year around April when i went to the hospital thinking i was having a heart attack and the doc had give me some med to calm me down and thats when they told me i was having an panic attacks and i was taking med for six months, but my doc told me i have to learn how to deal with it bc med is addicting and i stopped taking meds. Its so hard bc sometimes i just want to go get my med but i know the lord is helping me thru this. Thank you emily
I suffer from the same thing very bad depression and anxiety I have delt with this since middle school too..It is really hard to deal with sometimes.. You deffinetly are not alone.. I love you girl stay strong you are amazing, and a definite role model for me.. and a lot of other people.
I understand so well. I have grown up with it my whole life. just last weekend I was . in the hospital cuz I had one of the worst attacks I had in years. people that don't experience it will have no clue how debilitating it truly is. it a very strong person to talk about this thank u for opening u
Thanks a lot love it's nice to hear someone talk about their anxiety, I could tell that took a lot of strength, and I for one appreciate it definitely helpd me feel less alone
I had an anxiety attack last year for the first time , in the middle of school. I stumbled to the teacher and couldn't breathe, was shaky and dizzy,. Led to me in the sick room in a ball crying on the floor. Was terrifying. All your symptoms were just like my situation was
I suffer from anxiety as well and I'm only in the 7th grade and I know that it's hard to talk about your feelings soo thank you soo much for making this video!
This is a great video, I can relate to a lot especially the fact that people who doesn't have it never understand, my friend and I both have it and my mom doesn't even believe I have a problem with it. She thinks I just do things for attention when really I have when all the attention is on me bc that's normally what starts making me nervous lol but my anxiety started to really bother me when I started highschool. My friend even dropped out because she would have multiple panic attacks during the school day. It is a nightmare really. I sometimes will wake up in the middle of the night having a panic attack. It's extremely hard to explain exactly what I feel. But this video really did help me realize that I'm not alone and I'm not crazy because some people make me think that maybe it really is just all in my head and I'm crazy. Thank you so much for this video.
I know exactly how you feel. I have anxiety and ever since I started nursing school my anxiety has been even worse because of all the stress of school. I randomly had a panic attack when me and my boyfriend and parents were driving to Canton to go out to eat and go shopping. We were on the highway and I just felt like I couldn't breath and I was light headed and shaking. My boyfriend tried to keep me calm until we got to the restaurant. It was terrifying.
Wow you are so brave!! My mom has anxiety. Sometimes I may not understand her or why she has this anxiety but it's nice to know she's not alone!! Stay strong lovie! Hugs xo
Amazing video and courage to post this. I can relate to everything you talked about. I still have anxiety to this day as well that springs up and while it feels lonely or unbearable at times I just keep thinking of the future and moments I won't have anxiety .
Emily thank you so much for making this video. I feel crazy when I'm having my attacks and anxiety. and I'm scared to tell anyone what is happening because I'm scared they will think I'm crazy. thank you so much Emily. this really helped me.
I love this so much! I just found your channel today and subscribed and I love your videos! I also have panic attacks and anxiety and it's always reassuring to hear about other peoples' experiences with anxiety. Anyways, love your channel! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos! :)
I'm sooo happy I'm not alone, I've been having anxiety and panic attacks fr the past 2 yrs and this past yr I had it soo bad me and my dr decided to go on a pill called celexa and I've been doing great haven't had a attack in awhile and I knw why I had them is because if childhood readins and I am in counselling ( that helps) and I had maybe 2 attacks but wasn't bad!!!..

Hi :) I have Anxiety & Panic Attacks too. It started when I was 13, because of little concussion in the end of summer. The first attack I ever had was in church (I'm christian too). I just can't stand be in church with a lot of people - I needed to get out. Then in school I had couples of attacks at one week. No doctor doesn't know what was wrong with me... So I was normally go to school. That year we started to have chemistry. Our chemistry teacher is really very strict and moody (good grades in chemistry have just geniuses.). So when I was nervous everything I know just go blank... plus I were sometimes missing at school because of attacks. She literally said me one day at the test in front of class that I must be stupid.. (so funny huh?). I was afraid go to school. I was afraid of that teacher. I was afraid to be at home, because I would write lots of tests I missed. It was like hell for me. One doctor sended me to psychologist. She said me I have that attacks and she gave me some medicaments that made me sleeping/walking zombie. I survived that school year thanks to GOD, art (I love painting/drawing) and that I never give up. It makes me stronger. I overcome a lot of fears - flying in the plane first time, speaking in front of class.. I fighting with attacks over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes lose. Now I'm 16. School is harder then ever before (I'm not math or chemistry genius. I love art, literature, languages, history. I'm good at that). I'm tired of "just surviving" another year with terrible chemistry grades. I waste my time on something that gives me nothing back- just a bad panic attacks. I decided that I want go to another school, because I'm not happy there. I think I actually finally do it this year. wish me luck? :D
I'm proud of you for having the courage to share this. We all have battles we face. Prayer is powerful and I'm glad you lean on God when you need Him. God is good. Take care and God bless.
i also have anxiety and its been on and off its very hard for me to deal with it i cant just make it go away. it started when my mom died in july..then school was about to start and i had to move in with my grandma it was hard and till this day i still have attacks and i have to take pills to calm me down. thank you for the video it helps me to see that im not the only one.
I suffer from both as well, started with very personal reasons that happened two years ago. When I have a panic attack it feels like I can't breathe or can't get a deep breath, it feels like I want to cry but I can't, and I feel like I can't focus on one spot. It's not fun to deal with at all.
I am so glad to see this video I am the same way happy go lucky person and Its just starts out of Nowhere. I play music and singing calms me down.This is now why I am now your Subscibers.
Thank you for making this! It's nice to know I'm I'm not the only one that feels this way! I agree! God's peace is the best for your anxiety When mine is real bad I Philippians 4:6-7 and give him thanks for what I have in my life. It's hard at first when you are having a panic attack but keep giving thanks and asking or his peace and He shall fill your heart and body with it. I'm still trying to find other techniques as well
I have this and I'm in middle school. It's not fun at all. I know exactly how people feel with this. It really stinks. I'm religious too and pray to God about that stuff.
You are inspiring and brave to put this video up even tho I dnt have anxiety I know many who do and this really helped me understand what they can be feeling I really appreciate that you open your self to us I love you so much ❤😘❤😘
I lovee you girl all you said is so true. It's very hard having to live deal with anxiety and panic attacks, but your right the only one can help us is God. Thank you for making this video encourging us ♡
Thx for u doing the video..I also have social anxiety ...I have trouble lookin at people in the eye...keeping a conversation. I also have anxiety attacks when they want to take a pic of me...I hate having this disorder
Wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has been messaging me on here and commenting on here with love, support and seeking advice!

Girl you are not alone! I have been suffering from horrible anxiety my whole life. I eventually hope I can get up enough courage to film a video on it like you have! So amazing of you to be so open and share your feelings
you hit the nail on the head when you said it's really hard to describe anxiety to other people. it sucks. you are definitely not alone girl. I know it took a lot to make this video.
I feel that talking to someone who doesn't know me or know my story and who just wants to listen... It helps so much!
You are so brave for sharing this! So many people are ashamed to admit anything to do with mental health, when really SO many people suffer. I too am a Christian, and without God, I don't know how anyone can deal with it.

I'm 18 and have been suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar, and panic attacks since I was about 7 (that was when I had my first panic attack that I can remember) and I actually just had a trip to the hospital a couple days ago for trying to commit suicide by choking myself and gave myself a bad confusion on my neck..

Like you say other people really don't understand, and look at you like you are crazy if you try to explain to them. Once again thanks for posting this
My boyfriend doesn't really believe in anxiety... But I have it really bad and I'm constantly feeling alone, so I really have no one to talk to about it. Thank you so much for this video! xo
You are very brave! I am 15 and I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. You described them perfectly and it helps me know it gets better. I have ways to calm myself down which includes praying too. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to know that you're not alone. I have been struggling for years and none of my family or friends can relate so it just makes me feel like I must be going crazy. I'm so grateful that you posted this video.
Honey thank you so much! I actually was having a panic attack and decided to go here and watch your video to take my mind of of it a little. I have them when I drive sometimes too, especially when it's a long distance. My husband does not understand where I'm coming from and thinks I'm crazy.
It's sucks to leave like this !
Thank you for being honest.
You are definitely not alone! I have suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks since i was 9 years old... crazy right? my point is that you are not alone and we are all here to guide you through these difficult times! love you
100% relatable! I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and am now to the point where I am agoraphobic. You're not alone.
you're not alone in this!
You are very strong to be able to film a video about this subject. I've suffered from severe anxiety and a panic disorder for about 8 years.
My sister is my safe person..she knows how it feels with anxiety & knows how to calm me down. My fiancé does not understand anxiety at all & he helps me the best he can tho.
I struggle everyday with anxiety...I hope you only get better and know how many people you have helped with this video :)
I nodded my head throughout the entire video... I have anxiety about everyday... It's ugly.... I love how very similar I am able to relate to you! I've been suffering for about two years...
I love that you had the courage to upload this video. A lot of people don't understand anxiety/panic attacks so they won't get it, but I know exactly what you mean. I leave it all in the Lord's hands because he is the ultimate healer!!!! :):):) and I know that for a fact.
wow, this seriously just made me feel better. i thought i was alone & that nobody understood what i felt until i saw this video. thank you soooo much for sharing.
Hi Emily, I could totally relate. I've been suffering for a long time now. and it usually happens numerous times a day everyday. It really is the scariest feeling and i wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy. I usually get it cause I'm so nervous about getting another one that it brings on another one. Even as i'm writing this, Im deep breathing to get a full breath. To anyone out there I really hope you get through this tough time.
Thank you for doing this! I have had anxiety for about half of my life. It's terrible, and you're right, no one knows how you feel. I have been on the lightest of dose of Xanax once a day for several years, and that has seemed to help quite a bit! I have that horrible feeling of nausea and shortness of breath...horrible. I have an extremely hard time dealing with any and all matters that I don't have control over. It's a very tough thing to deal with. Again, thank you for your bravery.
I am sooo happy you posted this video! It makes me feel like I'm not the only one dealing with this! I've had anxiety since elementary school, and I still have it to this day. Its not easy to deal with at all. I feel very alone a lot on the way that I'm feeling because nobody I personally know has had anxiety like me. It makes things hard. But I pray and ask for God to help me through my rough times. I just need to learn to relax and everything will be okay. Anyways I love watching your videos and I'm always looking forward to your new videos! :)
I have dealt with anxiety my whole life. Thank you for this video. I know I'm not alone.
You are so brave! You are not alone by any means. I feel like I might have anxiety as well especially because none of what you said sounded "crazy" to me. It sounded more relatable. Thank you for sharing a fraction of your story! I'm sure myself and others would love to see another video like this soon when you muster up the courage again! :)
i know exactly how you feel! you're not alone girl
OMG girl I understand you 100% I also have anxiety..it's the craziest feeling ever..I feel like mine has gotten worse as I get older :( ..what happens to me I can't even go to the grocery store with out being nervous or scared like it gets hard to breath & I start sweating! It sucks! And yes you are right only some one with anxiety will know how u feel or understand..I TRY to control it but it's hard sometimes & I was also on medicine for it but they made me feel funny so I got off and now I'm just trying to deal with it..but anyway I just wanted to share and & thanks for sharing your story I KNOW it was a hard thing to do! :)
This is so brave posting this on the internet, but so many people will be able to relate. I have suffered with bad anxiety since childhood. I actually don't have any memory of not suffering with anxiety. I have had several panic attacks during adulthood as well. It's so hard. Thanks for sharing!
I lovee you girl, I know its not easy making a video of having to live\deal with anxiety & panic attacks. Your right though nobody but God can help us. I was diagnosed last year around April when i went to the hospital thinking i was having a heart attack and the doc had give me some med to calm me down and thats when they told me i was having an panic attacks and i was taking med for six months, but my doc told me i have to learn how to deal with it bc med is addicting and i stopped taking meds. Its so hard bc sometimes i just want to go get my med but i know the lord is helping me thru this. Thank you emily
Not alone at all! I have suffered from both anxiety and panic attacks as well...can totally relate and know just how you feel (:
I suffer from the same thing very bad depression and anxiety I have delt with this since middle school too..It is really hard to deal with sometimes.. You deffinetly are not alone.. I love you girl stay strong you are amazing, and a definite role model for me.. and a lot of other people.
You're not alone! It sucks, but it doesn't make you any worse then anyone else, you're awesome and everyone is here for you :)
I understand so well. I have grown up with it my whole life. just last weekend I was . in the hospital cuz I had one of the worst attacks I had in years. people that don't experience it will have no clue how debilitating it truly is. it a very strong person to talk about this thank u for opening u
Thanks a lot love it's nice to hear someone talk about their anxiety, I could tell that took a lot of strength, and I for one appreciate it definitely helpd me feel less alone
I had an anxiety attack last year for the first time , in the middle of school. I stumbled to the teacher and couldn't breathe, was shaky and dizzy,. Led to me in the sick room in a ball crying on the floor. Was terrifying. All your symptoms were just like my situation was
So proud of you!! I can totally relate and suffer from anxiety as well. You did a great job and hope you are feeling better!!
I suffer from anxiety as well and I'm only in the 7th grade and I know that it's hard to talk about your feelings soo thank you soo much for making this video!
Ps I am also very happy to see all of the support on here! It just goes to show you there are good people out there and that you are not alone! :)
one of the BEST videos ive seen in awhile! thank you!!
This is a great video, I can relate to a lot especially the fact that people who doesn't have it never understand, my friend and I both have it and my mom doesn't even believe I have a problem with it. She thinks I just do things for attention when really I have when all the attention is on me bc that's normally what starts making me nervous lol but my anxiety started to really bother me when I started highschool. My friend even dropped out because she would have multiple panic attacks during the school day. It is a nightmare really. I sometimes will wake up in the middle of the night having a panic attack. It's extremely hard to explain exactly what I feel. But this video really did help me realize that I'm not alone and I'm not crazy because some people make me think that maybe it really is just all in my head and I'm crazy. Thank you so much for this video.
You're not alone doll. Good for you for opening up!
Thank you so much for sharing this Emily. I have a whole new respect for you now. Love you girl!
I know exactly how you feel. I have anxiety and ever since I started nursing school my anxiety has been even worse because of all the stress of school. I randomly had a panic attack when me and my boyfriend and parents were driving to Canton to go out to eat and go shopping. We were on the highway and I just felt like I couldn't breath and I was light headed and shaking. My boyfriend tried to keep me calm until we got to the restaurant. It was terrifying.
Wow you are so brave!! My mom has anxiety. Sometimes I may not understand her or why she has this anxiety but it's nice to know she's not alone!! Stay strong lovie! Hugs xo
Amazing video and courage to post this. I can relate to everything you talked about. I still have anxiety to this day as well that springs up and while it feels lonely or unbearable at times I just keep thinking of the future and moments I won't have anxiety .
emily your an amazing inspiration...i have minor panic and anxiety attacks and this video will definitely help me thru one the next time. your amazing
Thank you so much for this video, I have just watched this. This has helped me so much, Praying for you :)

Anxiety has effected my work my relationships my entire life. I know:(
I've had anxiety my whole life. It sucks. It got so bad that now I'm on medication you're not alone and it's not weird. No judgement!
Emily thank you so much for making this video. I feel crazy when I'm having my attacks and anxiety. and I'm scared to tell anyone what is happening because I'm scared they will think I'm crazy. thank you so much Emily. this really helped me.
Thank you so much for doing this. This honestly helped me so much.

Knumbness is the worst symptom of anxiety!!! We have all had it. It's scary

Thank you for opening up it means a lot
Thanks for this video, Emily!
So proud of you. God would never give you an obstacle that you cannot handle
Hi :) I have Anxiety & Panic Attacks too. It started when I was 13, because of little concussion in the end of summer. The first attack I ever had was in church (I'm christian too). I just can't stand be in church with a lot of people - I needed to get out. Then in school I had couples of attacks at one week. No doctor doesn't know what was wrong with me... So I was normally go to school. That year we started to have chemistry. Our chemistry teacher is really very strict and moody (good grades in chemistry have just geniuses.). So when I was nervous everything I know just go blank... plus I were sometimes missing at school because of attacks. She literally said me one day at the test in front of class that I must be stupid.. (so funny huh?).
I was afraid go to school. I was afraid of that teacher. I was afraid to be at home, because I would write lots of tests I missed. It was like hell for me. One doctor sended me to psychologist. She said me I have that attacks and she gave me some medicaments that made me sleeping/walking zombie. I survived that school year thanks to GOD, art (I love painting/drawing) and that I never give up. It makes me stronger. I overcome a lot of fears - flying in the plane first time, speaking in front of class.. I fighting with attacks over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes lose. Now I'm 16. School is harder then ever before (I'm not math or chemistry genius. I love art, literature, languages, history. I'm good at that). I'm tired of "just surviving" another year with terrible chemistry grades. I waste my time on something that gives me nothing back- just a bad panic attacks. I decided that I want go to another school, because I'm not happy there. I think I actually finally do it this year. wish me luck? :D
I'm proud of you for having the courage to share this. We all have battles we face. Prayer is powerful and I'm glad you lean on God when you need Him. God is good. Take care and God bless.
i used to get hem back in 7th and 8th grade , thankfully I've overcome them .
you are not alone hun..i suffer from anxiety too and only the Lord can help !God bless you
Thank you so much for posting this! Very helpful :)
My friend just told me that she suffers from this so that's why I clicked on the video. Interesting and learned a lot!
I have awful anxiety. I hate it. Its ruining my life. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this video! I relate so well! We are in this together! We are strong. Just pray (:
i also have anxiety and its been on and off its very hard for me to deal with it i cant just make it go away. it started when my mom died in july..then school was about to start and i had to move in with my grandma it was hard and till this day i still have attacks and i have to take pills to calm me down. thank you for the video it helps me to see that im not the only one.
Very simply,, Emily YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON! Lots of love and best wishes
I suffer from both as well, started with very personal reasons that happened two years ago. When I have a panic attack it feels like I can't breathe or can't get a deep breath, it feels like I want to cry but I can't, and I feel like I can't focus on one spot. It's not fun to deal with at all.
Stay strong beautiful:)
You should have way more subs! You are awesome ! :)
I am so glad to see this video I am the same way happy go lucky person and Its just starts out of Nowhere. I play music and singing calms me down.This is now why I am now your Subscibers.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for making this! It's nice to know I'm I'm not the only one that feels this way! I agree! God's peace is the best for your anxiety
When mine is real bad I Philippians 4:6-7 and give him thanks for what I have in my life. It's hard at first when you are having a panic attack but keep giving thanks and asking or his peace and He shall fill your heart and body with it. I'm still trying to find other techniques as well
I have this and I'm in middle school. It's not fun at all. I know exactly how people feel with this. It really stinks. I'm religious too and pray to God about that stuff.
You are inspiring and brave to put this video up even tho I dnt have anxiety I know many who do and this really helped me understand what they can be feeling I really appreciate that you open your self to us I love you so much ❤😘❤😘
Oh my gosh you get the red rash on your chest just like I do when I talk about something intense!
