I didn’t know so many students are feeling this way. I had anxiety issue during the 4 years in SoC. I would have panic attack when I was juggling the CS assignments especially weekend deadlines and toxic project team mates. It’s not easy to be in SoC while handling personal life. Life can be tough and sometimes you just need to pass the module. Looking back, I feel things will become better eventually and the feeling of hopelessness can just be a temporary matter. You will be left with a trauma but everything will become better. I have came this far and I’m still recovering from my cystic acne, weight gained and eczema caused by anxiety during my time in NUS. I’m feeling better now and doing great! I hope everyone will get better too! 💚💚
Do be mindful if you're going to be commenting on this video. If you're comfortable, I would love for you to share your experience with anxiety as well. Let's start a discussion on this in Singapore :)
Hey, just wanted to show appreciation for putting yourself out there and being open about anxiety alongside all these other uni peeps! Singapore and uni in general is super competitive and stressful :/. Personally I struggle alot with anxieties too, given how competitive the system and Uni is... I guess in a way, we do see others as competition, especially when it comes to exams and assignments. My biggest cause of anxiety is usually the thought of failure/not achieving the grades I desire. I do see a need for all of us to be more woke about such issues so that everyone know that they are never alone in their journey. I really do hope we can build a culture where Singaporeans are more open and caring towards one another despite immense competition. We are humans after all ya? We are social creatures and we deserve to care for one another :D
Thank you for the opportunity to share! :) And also ❤ to all the commenters for being so vulnerable and brave in sharing about their emotions -- it isn't easy living with a restless mind, but we live and we learn to take care of ourselves (and one another)
The topic of anxiety is so relatable! I have faced anxiety throughout schooling life. Taking a longer route, going through ITE before going to Polytechnic, I have been on the receiving end of statements like "Why you never study harder?" or "Why you go ITE sia?" and well these statements were always brushed under the rug by me but deep down it actually affected me. Anxiety for me kicks in especially when I enter a new school or environment and also in Examination periods. How do I cope? I think I cope with it by taking time off my busy schedule, going cycling, going fishing, go on walks or just taking a break from everything and just going somewhere to just spend some alone time without distractions and just clear my head! Huge thanks to Dargoyaki and the students for filming this and for sharing your experiences! Mad respect to you all!
So thankful to Dargoyaki for making this video and sharing experience , also giving us advices. I can realte to Grant on the point about social media . When getting through my adolescence stage it was and is really hard for me because all of my friends that were once the closest to me are now having new friends and getting far apart from me. I was so used to them being there for me and when they changed it was so hard for me to accept it , I can't blame them too because everyone change one day and it's for the better. Seeing them hang out with new friends on their instagram makes me feel so lonely , miserable and comparing myself to them at the end of the day.I am not the best at making new friends so it's really hard for me to communicate with someone about it. I do have a mild anxiety of Panic disorder and OCD from time to time but I think I am getting better. I want everyone getting through this to remeber that you are not alone and talk to someone who you feel comfortable with about it. It's never late to seek help.
Thanks for making a video about mental health, kind of much needed for students like me to know what there are people out there who're also dealing with their own anxieties & demons. We're not our thoughts, we're all on our own path and it's okay to be this way.
Kudos to you Dargo for producing such a meaningful content! I like that you are able to portray this other humbling side of student life in university. It refutes the general notion that life in college is all roses and daisies. What most people don't realise is that we students are constantly fighting our own battles, be it academic or social. Personally, I feel it's just a SG culture for things to be competitive and judgemental almost everywhere and that's something you don't really have control over. Thus, the best is to seek help either professionally or informally to alleviate the anxieties. It's hard to completely eliminate anxiety but by seeking help you can manage it better. A common theme I find amongst all the experience shared by the students in the video is that they require an outlet to let it out. Most often than not, professional help may be limited in lead time as it could take months to reach an appointment. What's left then, you most likely just attempt to suppress it by keeping it to yourself because you are not really comfortable sharing with your immediate friends. At this point, you might feel helpless. I feel that there should be such an informal focus group with a listening ear to share your thoughts as an alternative to professional help. This group would consist of other students with anxieties as well to drive empathy. I don't know but I feel at ease knowing that I'm not alone and that there are other students who face similar issues. But I digress, this video serves as a good awareness! What you've done here and have been doing in the past is something I admire that is being an advocate of why student life shouldnt revolve around grades and pleasing society. Keep it up! I look forward to your upcoming videos!
As a person who has anxiety and recently started university, this video was very helpful as this video made me feel better. Shoutout to all the students who battle anxiety, whether acute or extreme.
This is a really nice video! Keep it up dargo! But i wish there was more representation in your videos. People from the other races have different types of thinking processes and goals and aims leading to different types of worries and anxieties! You can also relate to more ppl that way and also understand different ppl better.
Having anxiety attack right now... Feeling I have not done enough. Why I am so slow? Am I wrong with my study method? Am I just stupid? Can't focus. So overwhelmed with worries and negative thoughts.
I got negligible number of people I can call a friend, my family don’t really talk (we never ate together or went out tgt it’s quite bad..) the only people I really talk to are strangers in a game for the past 1 or 2 years. I just feel so lost and alone. Not to forget a failure in life. Just can’t see any hope
Hi Dargo Just wanted to drop a comment saying like I'm currently studying in college and I'm a year 2 student which is like a higher Nitect student like the first few days was sort of alright for me to handle but like things get to turn at some point which is like when i was starting to learn certain Modules then like one of my classmate which is like telling me "You cannot understand what the lecturer is trying to teach or like what do you not understand?" or like why is it so difficult for you to understand whatever the lecturer is trying to teach us then like I was like don't really know how to handle the situation, so like one day I talked to my Class advisor which is like a teacher that is in charge of my class then while talking to him I find myself crying in front of him, i didn't realize that I have talked to my class advisor until like it was around 5pm plus so like that day i went home late but i didnt tell my parent that i cry in front of my class advisor which is like quite embarrasing butcan this be consider one or at least part of the social anxiety or is it like related to what you have talked in the video? anyway thank you for making this type of video and if it is possible could you maybe give some advice on this issue? thank you so much
three words: first world problems. :)
I may have anxiety but at least I can drink tap water
Id rather cry in my air conditioned room with my 5k gaming pc than laugh in a farm

anxiety’s like a recursive function without a terminating condition
well put
its a while loop with no break

Thanks for sharing, it’s really nice to know that people with anxieties are not alone.

Dargoyaki may be the best channel I've come across recently. Insightful. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing this video. Your video explains the thing I face too. Without this video, I will not know others face the same issue as me.
Our local social media needs more contents like these , keep up the good work !! :):)
