Facing Anxiety

- Anxiety eclipses depression among college students, and the number who say it’s overwhelming them is on the rise. Campus counseling centers confront many challenges in trying to serve students, not the least of which is that mental health still has a stigma on campuses.
Here are the voices of five students explaining how they cope, what they’d like their professors to know, and what their peers need to hear. Sharing their stories, they hope, will lead to more open discussion of the daily struggles students face, and the support that could help them thrive.
The Chronicle is teaming up with Active Minds, a nonprofit group focused on campus mental health, to hear more about students’ experiences. Do you know students with a story to tell? Before January 1st, 2018, send us your story here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
I have terrible anxiety i constantly get behind on my school work because I’m scared to even start it. It’s kind of like the feeling if you’re afraid of heights and you’re standing on the edge of a cliff trying to jump into a lake. You know you can do it but you’re paralyzed.
this is so relatable. that’s all i gotta say
100% and procrastination only makes the situation worse.
Me right now
I am a lot older than you and I had my first panic attack at 57, and this is how I am with my work !
ive been so anxious lately, glad to see I'm not alone, bc we're here it means we're on a journey of growth. don't lose hope.
I’m a third year Biotech student, and this year by far has been my worst. I have been faced with some much challenges and anxiety. The world load has been such a hassle and I’m always in this perpetual state of overthinking and comparison to my previous productive self or other people that are handling the situation better than I am. I feel trapped tbh. This year ik my grades have dropped. In all honesty I am now at a state where I just wanna pass my courses I don’t care about A’s anymore. I rmr starting of the semester very productive such as waking up early every morning, going to the gym, on par with my classes. Once those misfortunes of life began to kick in, I transitioned into a lazy, irritated, broken person. I honestly just want to be my old self again 😔🤦♂️
Thank you for this video. Sometimes I can't help feeling like a broken human like I don't work in school environments because I get too anxious. Seeing this video helps me feel like I am not the only one struggling, that I am not the only one that puts a ton pressure on myself, its comforting.
Just yesterday I had a talk with my college teacher telling her about my anxiety. I told her I wanted to quit and drop out of the class because I was behind on a few chapters. She talked to me and made everything better. I felt the pressure and I couldn’t think of reading the book or watching the videos she posted. I wanted to give up. Thank god for my teacher who understood and helped me through the time.
Great to see so many people share their experience with anxiety in college. One thing that really helped me was meditation. I find that short morning meditation helps me get energized and focused after just 10 minutes of quiet time.
Does it work ???
well you aren't talking abt chronic anxiety , are you?
This is a well-produced video, I can honestly say this is very well done, and it has fantastic focus.
Its finals week and I'm feeling very anxious to even start anything.
I have anxiety attacks almost every day and for long periods of times and get really bad chest pains
5:50 - Needed to hear this.💜
I have anxiety a lot about school and family (not getting into detail) but it’s been horrible for me and I’ve been worrying about what happens next with my parents because they might be getting divorced and I’m worried I won’t be the same in my mental health if they do and I can’t stop thinking about it but I don’t open up about it because every time I try someone will say something horrible about it. I fear my parents will lash out at me if I try to open up cause this isn’t the first time.
you must have a lot of pressure keeping all your anxiety bottled up :/ your parents are being horrible about your mental health?
school time I am got anxious about social anxiety
This is so helpful. Bless all of you. 🙏🏼
I have a Anxiety and it never ends to me
always had it since youth, ever since I was even just 1st grade. took a year break from school at 16. it was amazing, now I'm being forced to go back against my will so I really have to force myself to go.
stay strong to anyone suffering 💜💜💜
I can try lot of tricks of overcome anxiety but I not getting benefit
Could never read comments on recovery or recovered it's always about how bad it makes you suffer that's why there's never a feeling of hope.
Hi did anyone have physical symptoms like chest pain, lump in the throat sensation, tingling, breathing issues and stomach issues?.... I was dealing with them since 3 months..
It was in the beginning of this month that the lump in my throat sensation got worse and was not going for weeks... I was dying everyday.... I'm on SSRI since 12 days and I feel really really good already.. I'm coming back to living and I'll take them if I need them .... I'm no more ashamed of taking them
your not alone i sometimes feel like it’s a little hard to breathe but that’s it nothing to serious
Even I face them regularly. I've so much difficulties with school works, study and stressful situations...
I just wanna feel peace man
I feel you dude.
I don't understand anxiety, I have never really felt strong anxiety but I wish I could understand what they are feeling by feeling it myself.
And I wish u never feel the same way they feel.
Trust me, it's the worst feeling ever. Having your family members look at you with pain and sadness. It's heartbreaking to see them suffering with you, and not being able to do anything about it because anxiety is so hard to control
I'm sure some of them have ADD.
Would you mind elaborating on that?
@@deanwhelan4107 my ADHD contributes to my anxiety. I get this so bad. It is very debilitating. It is not everyone's case of course. Some people has anxiety due to PTSD, etc. But for me, thinking about how I'm going to organize and accomplish all of my tasks every day (because of my ADHD) causes me a lot of anxiety.
@@MaleficaRue Thank you, it's just this describes me almost perfectly and makes college feel impossible, worth talking to someone about I think
@@deanwhelan4107 omg, if I'm not on meds,y college classes ARE SO HARD
The anxiety makes me procrastinate bad! U should get tested. I found out as an adult but I've been struggling all my life
@@MaleficaRue I will thank you so much I mentioned it to my college counselor so it's something I'll look at. I've been so bad at procrastinating because as soon as things get overwhelming the anxiety is crippling haha I feel that big time
When i get a panic attack, it usually happens at night. I use this app called DARE. I use it to sleep sometimes, but mostly to handle panic and anxiety attacks. I had a very bad panic attack yesterday before getting my covid vaccine. I couldn't use the app because it requires wifi and i didnt have the stability to turn on my data for 5 minutes then turn it off again. I had to sit through it because it was so bad, that i COULDN'T slow my breath down. I couldn't take a normal, slow breath. It was terrifying. Ive had panic attacks before, but i could always return to breathing normally after 5 to 10 minutes rater than in 30 to 40 minutes. Anyway, i am kinda ranting now, but anyway, what i wanted to say was:
I hate having panic attacks
I am scared to have another panic attack
The app DARE helps with anxiety
Anxiety is not fake
I deal with panic attacks and im not faking and
Anxiety is S#*t
cod
I am fucked up. I can't say a single word to my parents because they always don't understand me. Whenever I opened up myself infront of them. They always be like: it's okay, it will be okay.. You just need to keep your mobile aside and focus on your study. Everything will be fine with the time but why don't they understand, this can come with the time again too. 🥲🥲
Whenever I feel sadness, anxiety or any kind of stress, I always consume food. Either it iss in habit or it just keeps me comfortable with my stress.
