What Having Anxiety Feels Like

- Опубліковано 2 січ 2016
- I wrote this piece a few months ago when I tried to explain to somebody how it feels inside my head. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and ADHD over a year ago and every day is different story. In hopes to wrap my head around the feelings inside my brain- I thought I'd open it up for you all. You are not alone.
If you or somebody you know is dealing with something too much for them to handle alone, talk to somebody:

Anxiety is like a warning for something that didn't even happen.
Gen Moi like a false warning for a tornado or something?
Gen Moi I’m late on this lol. That’s exactly what it feels like for me. I’ll start panicking over things that are months or even years away. No matter how much time I have to prepare myself for something, or how insignificant/significant the situation could be, my thoughts swarm in my head and I can’t control them. It’s like a sudden fear that grips at your whole body; your heart rate going so loud that you can’t hear over it. Your senses on alert. Numbness in certain parts of the body could happen; for me it being my tongue goes numb and dry. You feel like you’re almost choking when you speak so you end up stuttering like a madman. Your whole body just instantly tenses up to the point where it can be almost painful. Your hands and feet may start to tingle and sweat like hell. You feel like everyone in the room is focusing on you even when that’s not the case. Or like you’re doing something entirely wrong/ different than everyone else and being judged negatively for it, even when that’s also not the case. Unfortunately, this is something that can’t be controlled.
exactly
@@ecruz3340 my situation right now
Yes! I remember I had really bad anxiety before I was diagnosed, me and my family were in a dark alley way and I just thought that someone would drive by and shoot them. So many thoughts played in my head “what are you gonna do when they’re gone?” “Will you live with your aunt?” “How are you gonna protect yourself so that you dont get shot?” “You’re in a different part of the world, how will you communicate to the police?” To the point where I curled up on the bottom of the car to avoid getting hit by the bullet and started crying. It was so awful, and while my family members were just in the front seat, neither of them knew what happened to me that day.
I think the worst part about it all is obviously that it never happened.
The worst part is, whenever someone laughs, it feels like they’re laughing at you.
kai kai or just talks.
Yup or anyone talking behind you or any whispers
I have that :(
kai kai I can totally relate even if they probably aren’t laughing at me I still feel self conscious and awkward in case they are
Omg that's so bad I have it everyday I hate it so much
How my anxiety is for me
- I start overthinking everything
- My heart beats really fast
- I get scared
- I breath too much
- I feel a lump in my throat
- I feel hopeless
I feel you bro! Dont overthink always, im on your side. We have the same anxiety
Same
@@chowisdogz thank you so much for spreading kindness love!! Im proud of you!! We need more ppl like u in this world!!! Stay happy and blessed. And, people like you restore faith in humanity. 🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏💪💪🤗❤️🙏🌹
@Clarissa im so sorry for the paim u r going through my love.
So firstly, its okay not to be okay my love, we all are perfectly flawed humans that WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. So plsssssssss dont be tooooooo hard on urself.
Why r u mad at urself? Is it, by any chance, ur mistake? My love its okay, u r not alone. We all are here for u, tho we cant feel the intensity of ur anxiety but we can try our best to help you.
Ohhhh that hits hard... But u know what? Im crazy in that state and its okay. I scream, i dance and sing in the shower, i drink water, i talk to myself loudly and try to lecture myself to understand my feelings amd stop these feels, i play games and play music on speakers. Sometimes i even tackle it by just sitting and taking deep breathe and feeling my heart beating fast. I just get busy in something loud and something that makes me feel like i matter and that i exist im not dead or invisible that how it feels right? I go in front of birds and any living thing and when they see me and fly or something i try to make myself understand that, see u exist they can see u. U matter, u r important and that they can see u. I know its hard love. But only heroes like u can deal it and still be here till this day. Remember only the ones fighting get tired and not the ones who have already given up. Im proud of you hero!! Stay strong!! More power to you! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏💪👍🤗
And yes my love, U DO NOT BURDEN ANYONE. Whoever talks to u about it is fated to meet u and its ur fate that is trying to help you. U r a human amd u need to vent ur emotions. Its just those toxic people who dont want to listen to anything. Trust me my luv, ive been talking to someone since a month already and i dont mind at all. Feel free to text me anytime you feel that way. Pls dont hesitate. Im not like school teachers. 😜
me too:(
what my anxiety does to me:
-mental breakdowns
-feeling uncomfortable in my own skin
-not being able to breathe
-my heart races
-always overthinking
-getting overwhelmed way too easily
Same! Your not alone!
Do u feel like hot
Omg, u described me
Same here
I tried telling my mom about this, because this is how I am. She said they are just feelings, or I don’t drink enough water, or telling me what “real” anxiety is. Usually she’s kind and supportive, so this really shocked me. Should I send her this?
When you feel like everyone’s judging you constantly but no one is.
Yes2
Yes.
Literally even by the way I walk. I feel like I’m being judged even though I know I’m not
jessica junco same, it’s the worst feeling.
And no one care about us
i hate when people relate anxiety to just everyday stress and then claim they have an anxiety disorder.
Josee La Marche seriously... they will never understand the mental hell we go through every single day and we look like a calm painting of a village but if you go inside that painting it goes into motion with the village being engulfed by flames and a tornado and tsunami is rushing through it... that’s the best i can explain when i get a panic attack
Uhhgggg yes. It’s so annoying to hear ppl say that they hv an anxiety disorder when they don’t. They obviously don’t know what it feels to hv anxiety disorder
OMG FACTTTTSSSS 💀💀💀💀. They say everyone has it like nooooo they don’t.
I really hate if healthy mind people think about anxiety attack as weakness. Wow can u endure from that?
Same thing with, “iVe bEeN sAd oNcE, I hAvE dEprEsSiOn!” Or, “B.I.P. sOuNds cOol!” I’m just sick of it, real people have it it’s not something for other people to want. It’s horrible.
Anxiety is like drowning and everyone telling you to breathe.
ikr, only i do to help me feeling anxious is playing royale high lmao
It feels like I'm being attacked, and you want to defend yourself but no one is actually harming me. But it feels like I'm being stabbed over and over again in my brain and you just want it to stop, so I start thinking of how to defend myself how to make it stop, meanwhile my brain is still being attacked, feels like I'm drowning but I'm on land. Feels like I'm already dead, or on the verge of death, that it's already to late for me. Like I have fallen down a well and I know I'm not coming back out, just I haven't hit bottom yet. That no matter what I do it's to late. My mind races a million miles in every direction meanwhile I know my body is standing still, stuck frozen in time.
@@mikansings5790 Reduce negative thoughts with a strong desire to transform from within. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Feel like trapped but I was too weak to escape
Any symptoms i have, any pain, my mind is gonna be like: "u are dying!"
I always think I’m dying or gonna lose my mind
U have Hypochondria? I have Hypochondria

literally same even if it’s just like a headache
@@dilanmontoya7748 i think i do but i’m not sure?
Social anxiety made me a prisoner in my house
Grunged Weirdo aww, I hope you can figure it all out some day. I’m not an expert so I can’t really give you much advice apart from support! You can do this, even if you can’t get rid of it forever, it’ll get better. :)
Grunged Weirdo Same bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same
I'm so sorry, ik exactly how u feel. I leave my house now but not too often and when I do I usually have to be with someone and before I didn't leave my house for 5 yrs
I misssd out on sooo many cool things with friends because of it then i feel bad because i didn't go
When people with anxiety do something wrong, they don’t just feel guilty.
They feel like they are
THE.
WORST.
PERSON.
IN.
THE.
UNIVERSE.
Some people just don’t understand that.
that explains it PERFECTLY
True😭😭
That is soooo true

This is legit exactly how i feel. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
U just described me the in the best way...I feel u..ur not alone! 😔
You just described me
I think you might have depression
This is exactly how I feel...
reading comments feels like a anti- depressant pills, it made me realize that I'm not alone.
Yes brother
Yes I'm😢
We’re all in this together. I haven’t been able to go to work. I had my first visit with my doctor yesterday, she put me on a SSRI and gave me a benzodiazepine for emergency (anxiety). I started the SSRI at 12PM, I took a nap and heard weird loud voices in my sleep, I have never heard loud voices in my head like that. I woke up got ready for work, I was driving and had a panic attack. I’m fuckin over this shit!!!!!!!!
I’m literally about to move out my girl house sometimes I just want to be alone I swear I hate this shit 🤬🥲
I feel for all of you. I’m in the same boat, but thankfully I found a good therapist. She’s been helpful. I still have panic attacks and anxiety most days, but it’s slowly getting better.
My anxiety only pops up when I'm forced to do something or have to interact with people.
Same
SAMME
ye me to does xanax help
ye social anxiety, I used to have it bad
twenty one pirates Praying to God and Jesus Christ helped me a lot with my anxiety. One day I prayed to God and told him how I was feeling and now I can actually see him working on me. I was feeling very anxious and depressed and ever since I put my faith and trust in God he has been healing me. I'm not joking. Praying to God can truly help. People seem to forget this but we are spiritual beings at the end of the day. When we are feeling negative things like anxiety, depression, insecurity, loneliness, etc. it is because our soul needs help and improvement and the only way to get that is to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you don't believe in God, just pray to God, he loves everyone he will show you signs that he is in fact real. You just have to put your trust in him and he can help you.
The worst part , is when your parents don’t understand 🥴💀
Toya Malak and they are like, “no u don’t feel like that, stop overreacting” I mean dear parent do u even know know I feel? What’s this society do to us ? School Is not easy al the time, I’m not happy al the time, my friends ain’t happy al the time. Ugh sorry for bad english
Toya Malak yeah it’s annoying for me
Yep... :(

Thank You For This, I Understand It Better :)
So true i hate feeling like this its scary
dont forget the moment when tears randomly start coming down your eyes
It so scary
That's me.
"Some days are better than others, some days are worse. But they are just days." I felt that...
To the people who don’t know what anxiety feels like: You ever touched your pocket and didn’t feel your phone? That shock moment? Yeah, that feeling. Just... people with anxiety have it all the time. At least I do.
knock knock ja deureogamnida . That is a good example of the rushes of adrenaline and cortisol and how it feels. As a young child I had it too and still do.Terrible as a little 5 yr old pushed into school.
thanks..now i get the idea of how it feels.i want to understand this for my friends who's suffering from anxiety..

I get scared of people judging me. Also I get scared of getting embarrassed and people are gonna laugh at me or dislike me, idk if it’s anxiety tho
ιιѕυииу flχωєяѕ its not anxiety
Still nobody would understand how much a person suffers with the anxiety.
Muskan Amjad ikr..
people with anxiety would
My sister had anxiety attacks and faints it’s so scary I have anxiety but not as bad as hers
Mistr_SBT same
It’s hard when your the only friend in a group who has the mental problems and everyone else doesn’t understand them
Okay I'll try to explain what my anxiety feels like:
- uncomfortable around anyone, even my family because I feel like I have to pretend
- get nervous about everything, even going out to the street
- overthink EVERYTHING and in case I have to interact with someone I practice for hours in case I mess up
- worrying about the future 24/7
- horrible sleeping schedule because I feel I'm losing time
- getting flustered about minimal situations if that requires other person seeing me
- not feeling connected with my body and out of control
- sudden feeling of dying or wanting to run away
- difficult to breath or concentrate
- get stuck thinking one word or phrase for hours
- never feeling like I'm prepared enough, talking about daily tasks
This is the one.
This is exactly how I felt my whole life. I used to think that everybody lived that way, that this was the regular setting for a human being, I didn't know this was anxiety, let alone what anxiety was. I thought I was abnormal for feeling the way I felt, that I was weak, I hated to feel this way, I always wondered how other people could deal with the stress, the sweaty palms, the awkwardness, the stomach ache...but I was alone in that hell. Nobody could get me or my reactions to certain settings. I felt so out of place and lonely in my madness. I still do and I still hide my anxiety, to everybody else I'm that moody but otherwise normal girl but underneath that I'm still feeling like I am in danger, I still grit my teeth and contract my muscles so I don t fidget out of anxiousness. It's tiresome. And I come off as crazy.
@@lydiaaoudia8263This is exactly what i have been feeling. Its so anoying that some people can live normal and we have to deal with this.
I always feel like someone or something is watching me constantly every second of every day.
Even in class as a kid,if someone looks a bit to the direction I sit at,I feel like they have their eyes on me and are judging me constantly.
I can’t relax.
ik same
Depression is when you don't care about anything
Anxiety is when you care too much
Having both is like a hell
It’s worse than hell
Lalisa manoBANGS I can relate I’m 14 and have ptsd depression and anxiety. School is hell for me.
I understand I have to take meds bc of my depression and anxiety
I thought IAM the only one who suffers from them ...
@@TobyBanci for me sometimes I like to go to school because then I can focus on school work etc and escape the reality of my depression and anxiety . The weirdest part is I'm not even smart or good at school. Also I can make my parents happy so that's a plus for me. I barely do anything in summer so I guess I would look forward to school and ya know not think about how shitty my life is and instead just try and get good grades etc
*Update* 2021: I am now failing school and a huge disappointment to my parents :)
My anxiety usually only gets really really bad when I’m in a public place, especially school
Imma birb :3 that's how I feel I have terrible social anxiety
Same
Me too
social anxiety ruined my life.
I have social and general anxiety and I have almost had anxiety attacks in public places before because of all of the social interaction.
Some people don’t even realize how hard it is to focus on one thing.
My anxiety:
-not being able to breathe
-headaches and nausea
-sweating
-feeling cold/hot
-shaking
-feeling like I'm gonna throw up
-avoiding eye contact
-excessively worrying about things like the future
-overthinking
-feeling judged
-and so much more..
Anxiety is not just in my head. And it's not just in yours.
Social anxiety is worst as you can't interact with people and they think you are either very rude or weird.
welcome to my fucken world
Oh hell yeah you're right I've been struggling in social anxiety for almost a year.. it's a sh*tty feeling.. i always don't know what to say when someone talks to me and i can't even look at them in the eye ...
so true.
Dude I know all to well..... I haven't left the house in over 6 or 7 months. My moms dragging me out tomorrow so wish me luck...
Azar Abbas I feel it
Sucks when school is the cause of it for most people
School fucked up my childhood
My parents and school messed everything up for me. If I only had a normal family who loved me, actually supported me, TALKED TO ME! I think me and anxiety would have never crossed paths. I wake up every single day with what I can only describe as a rock on my chest.
my mom said going to school HELPS my anxiety. i wish i wasn’t so anxious so i could express my feelings
Jake From State Farm I know right🥺
I agree and school really doesn't help at all in my opinion.We have to go to gym and we're forced to play sports and most of the time it's kickball.Everyone just says I'm being lazy or not trying,but I'm just scared to fail and be judged.Then I'll cry and embarrass my self and I do a cry a bit,but I make sure to make it my goal to try and keep in my tears or go in the bathroom and cry silently.I REALLY hate all my classmates except two because they just never understand why I act the way I do.They even asked me if I was gay since I never had a boyfriend before.I said no and I don't even know them well so them asking that was just inappropriate.
My anxiety:
- I overthinking alot
- gets overwhelmed really easy
And I start tearing up when I get overwhelmed.
- my heart races
- i get shivers and chills. I sweat.
- my stomach churns
- i stutter when I get anxious
And plus social anxiety!
Me too😢😢
Yes. All of these things.
This entire comment section describes my anxiety. Wouldn’t it be great to get together and form an on line support group.
Yeah that would be great.
Exactly evn i felt tht😔
Being able to hear people's thoughts of you even when their lips aren't moving
Gosh i couldn't relate more
What is this yeetery ? If you can HEAR Peoples thoughts of you. Can you literally HEAR their thoughts. Or are you guessing or thinking or perceiving what they might be thinking? If you can see a Psychiatrist this may help. Sometimes Schizophrenia can cause some people to HEAR Voices. It is a Chemical Imbalance in the Brain at times. Or maybe just Anxiety. Ask the Psychiatrist. They have Medication that can Stop this. Hope you feel better.
That's the worst part for me, I'm my school the boys are really sexist and bully the girls. I hear them talk about a specific girl. think about what they say about me. I'm even sometimes afraid of these boys. We're too young.
Onley me Here Sorry. Stay Away from the BAD Boys. Stick Close to any True Friend or Friend's. Leave School as soon as it is over so you can Avoid bumping into a Group of Bad People alone. Tell Your Parents about the Bullying. I was picked on and Bullied almost Daily from 6th to 8th Grade. I did have some Great True Friend's. And I had a Blast when I was Young hanging out with my Best Friend After School. I tried to Ignore the Bullying but it was Hard at times. Luckily I Graduated Grade School and had the Coolest Friend's in High School. Once I grew More Attractive looking with No More Braces then I got More Popular. It is Very SAD how People Judge Us from the way we look or the way that we Dress or who are Good Friend's sre. Make Gopd Friend's, the ones the Bullies pick on. If you get 10 Friend's or even 1 who goes through that you will Not feel So one. Try to be Happy with Yourself despite the Bullies. Be Nice to them even though their Not Nice..A few might get Nice. Sorry you go through that.
Onley me Here Continued. I am an Adult Women. And I also HATE Sexist Comments. People are PIGS who are Sexists. That is one reason that I and others do NOY like President Trump! President Trump is the Biggest Sexist, Prejudice President EVER I saw in History! I do NOT know how the heck some Women even Vote for President Trump. And it REALLY Insults Me when some Repulicans call President Trump a " Christian"!! True Christians would NOT want to Deport Hard Working Mexican Immigrants who have lived here with their Families for Years!! I Never had such a Hard time with a President as I do President Trump. President Trump said He Could do a Crime in the middle of the Street and get awag with it. He feels Invincible. Stay the Sweet Strong Women that You are. Look at how God see's You. Not the way those Boys see you. Look how Jesus Christ see's you. You sounds Nice and Intellegent. I was like You at your age. You sound Nice. Stay Sweet!! Pick Good Friend's and leave the School Building with them. Always have your Ride Home Planned out ahead. Keep your Cell phone with You at All times and keep Your Cell phone charged. Stay sweet..Your Intellegent. I like your Views. You Respect Womem and your Cool. You remind Me of You when I was Your age. But you know some of my " BEST" Years in life were in Grade School..My Mom was Alive and she was So Sweet! My Grandma was Alive. My Best Friend invited Me over Alot. So find ANY Good. Take Care!!
People in my school think that having anxiety is "cute" or some shit but god if they knew.
Butty On Msp yeah
Butty On Msp I KNOW I FEEL YOU OH MY GOD REALY THO
Butty On Msp There's nothing "cute" about anxiety/depression. I've lived most of my life with anxiety disorder and trough counselling and therapy, I've found a group of really close friends, whom with I can be my true self, without that "smiling mask".
Butty On Msp #why I'm homeschooled
TheZeppiZ Some people find it "cute" since they feel like it brings them attention
How my anxiety is for me:
-I feel like everyone is looking at me
-I feel like everyone is judging me
-my hands get sweaty
-I start to get short of breath
-my heart rate goes up
-I start to feel nauseous
Even though I know for a fact they probably forgot I was there
Anxiety is like being locked in a small closet with barely any room to breathe, like your breath is gone, and you are dying. It’s not a joke and it’s not something we can just “get over”, as many people( including parents) say.
Can someone make one that’s “what it’s like to not have anxiety” because I’d really like to know that.
Rose Vampire yesssssss
Me too...oh my god, can u be my Friend? I want to have a friend that can understand me
Suga Meow
Sure, it’s always good to have people who understand you.
@@rosevampire3755 yeah
YES YES YES
Anxiety makes everyday a battle and you come back defeated each night...
The Wierd One ugh I can relate so much.
Meg B exactly 😕
|-/ stay strong
Lisa Mcpheee ty fren. you too :)
meg b. and your profile picture is the reason its not each night anymore...
i’ve come back to this video a hundred times. it brings me back to earth. helps me feel normal. and puts it into words better than i ever could. it’s truly a work of art & i can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. you are so brave & bigger than whatever triggers your anxiety🤍
My heart just broke because someone just was able to explain how I feel so accurately
"Telling someone with anxiety to calm down, is like telling someone with epilepsy to just stop having a seizure."
Dorks MSP for some reason this made me laugh. Like literally. The " stop having a seizure" is the part that seems funny to because its absurd) i agree with you, but as a person who suffers from GAD i kinda tell people to calm down. even though i understand from experience that this is absurd to tell this, but actually thats exactly what you need to do, i learned it in a way that i got to the point that i didnt care already if i "live or die" and after that breaking point i steadily getting better, also AD are a helping hand. I think the best words to hear while in a panic/anxiety attack is "im with you. Im here to help you get through it. I'll protect you and make sure you are going to be fine" as panic attack is basically flee or fight kind of situation.. its really soothing to hear that there's some one to take care of you. Just my opinion :)
Dorks MSP its like telling someone with a broken leg to run a marathon and get on with it...
Dancers Unite seriously...my gf just doesn't get it because I don't have a good explanation as to what started it this time
This is best explanation for anxiety I've seen so far. Yeah, it's not as awful as epilepsy, yet we have no control over our anxiety and can't just stop it.
Dancers Unite i agree %100 i have anxiety and depression and i was texting my friend once while freaking out and she told me to calm down and i threw my phone across the room. i hate it when people say to just stop thinking about it and complaining but i can’t control it. it’s not like i want this i don’t complain because only my closest friends know about this. so i don’t complain and i fake a smile every day. you are so right
My anxiety:
- Shake inside
- heart beating
- Can't focus at study
-bad thoughts
- cry
Your not alone I go though that too
yep
the thoughts you can get are so scary. i just wish they can stop
yeah
And at the end you say your fine😭
i saw this video 4 years ago as soon as you posted and i remember sending it to a person i considered very close to me, telling them this is what I can’t put into words when you ask me what’s wrong. they didn’t really care. and after that, other friendships came by and they didn’t really care either, or didn’t even want to understand, labeling it as drama or like I’m overreacting shit. and it always felt like hell. this just appeared on my recommended page and I’m crying because it makes me remember so many things and feelings and thoughts at once. so many things changed and this video still is what I can’t put into words. thank you.
This makes me fell like im not alone and I can’t stop watching, this is the tenth time I’ve seen it
yes, the video itself gave me really bad anxiety i am currently shaking and my face is numb
@@kdognalley2839 I KNOW this video even gave me anxiety
These days so many people say they have anxiety and depression even though they don’t. I’m scared to tell people I have anxiety because of the fear that they will think I’m saying it for attention.
I’m exactly the same
Me too 😓
You don’t know if they don’t
Haylee Grange omg, everyone at my school does that. One kid at my school said they were having a panic attack so I went over to get the teacher and they told me they were okay. They just wanted the group of kids to come over and feel bad for her. Since I really have anxiety, I ignored them for the rest of the day
THANK YOU! SOMEONE WHO GETS ME
When someone ask “what’s wrong”
And you don’t know because everything is wrong and it’s so hard to explain and then you feel dumb
Caillie Smith you have just explained my life...
Then what would I ask or say to someone who have anxiety? Since asking if they're fine or what is not good then what then?
and feel like ur over exaggerating and they’ll judge u?
Yessir
When people ask : "wHaTs WrOnG," it just seems like the toughest question to answer . I just reply "i DoNt kNoW," and then comes the ,"tHeRe HaS tO bE a ReAsOn"
Although this gives me more anxiety, I feel better knowing at least someone else knows the EXACT feeling and in some way I'm not alone
i remember watching this when i was in a really dark place and i felt very connected to this video. thank you for making this! it’s beautiful.
You don't need water to feel like you're drowning
Or dying...
Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning and my friends and family are just standing there, doing nothing.
Just made your comment 666
Yea you don't need water...
You can drown in damn Dr.pepper...
( This was a joke!!!!)

It's mind so thoughts are gonna come even if you don't want to
Just watch the thoughts... Don't interact with it normally when we see a rose our minds go like this is a rose and then we interact with that thought it's red, that is the last time I saw it, I saw it here or there on and on and on.
What I mean to say is that when you see a rose your mind goes like this is a rose... That's it this is a rose now don't interact, just watch whatever the thoughts are coming
This will definitely help you if you will try it... Its called mindfulness
Do you worry about things that *NEVER* happens? I do. But it is just your brain playing tricks on you.
I do. Or I just randomly get scared and I really mean it. I just sit in my room and chill and out of nowhere I start to sweat, my heart beats fast and I'm so stressed, thinking something will happen in the next seconds and I can't do anything about it. I f*cking hate this.
@@melly2572 what do you do then?? Can you please tell me?? I have the same problem..
@@amitmagar4737 I try to focus on something else and to control my breathe. Lately I started to tell myself loudly that nothing will happen and that I'm safe. I still often have the feelings but with these tricks I learned to control them a little bit so that I won't get a panic attack and it seems to help
@@melly2572 do u get scared when u go outside too? Pls tell me
anxiety sucks. 😂
I still watch this video every time I’m dealing with anxiety it’s been 5 years. Thank you so much!! Really God bless.
This was incredibly moving, beautifully artistic, and exceptionaly brave all at the same time. Thank you so much for taking the time to create and share this. ❤
Am I the only one who thinks everything “just feels wrong” when they have anxiety? Like, my limbs feel awkward and unnatural and everything feels out of place. Every movement I make feels like I’m about to fall over.
Yes I feel you .also I have pain in my neck veins. ....
yes and when im having a panic attack my body just feels so foreign to me too like i look at my hands and they feel so unfamiliar
Yes! I constantly keep moving around and fidgeting cuz I feel like everything's wrong.
Even when something good happens, I constantly keep thinking that something else is gonna go wrong and I start sweating and get breathing problems
:'(
Oh my god yes! And then i'm suddenly aware of my own breathing and think "oh no oh no oh no i have to keep breathing so i don't die", and then i overthink literally everything and think i forgot to do something important but there is nothing i forgot
@@pho_is_not_interesting YES... YES!! That is exactly how it feels!!
Anxiety: they hate you
Me: who?
Anxiety: they
The perpetrator can be any one of us!
Anxiety: they are all around you and even watching from their windows
I literally thought that today in Bible study after I asked a dumb question. Or so I thought it was dumb.
Sam Smith?

I love your humor
This made me cry. You did an amazing job showing what it really feels like. Thank you 😭❤️
This video was used in my mental health class! Thanks for being so raw and putting your emotions out for the world to see! It's helping us mental health students understand disorders better and ultimately break the stigma!
how anxiety attacks feel for me:
-overwhelmed with stress
-feels like im gonna die
-cant breath
-sweating like crazy
-i want to cry
-shaking really bad
-extremely overwhelmed by everything
and more....
Ugly SCP tato does anxiety goes away with age ?? The worst thing is that I am only 14 and I get panic attacks .... The fact is that I wanna live !! 😭😭😫😫
I am 11 and I get really bad panic attacks
SOMYA SINGH it can get better with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. You learn coping tools to cut it off when it’s happening and to get over the episode a little quicker. My therapist actually talked me through one today. Instead of going through all the stages of it she helped me stop it 2 minutes in. My panic attacks usually last 10 minutes or more. I would suggest seeing a therapist. I didn’t when I was a teen and now I’m a semi functioning adult with terrible mental health. Getting better though!
@@somyasingh2859 of course you'll live. I've lived with anxiety for half my life. Im 59 yrs. old. That certainly doesn't mean you will. Everyone is different, and if you tell your parents, go to the doctor. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It happens to alot of people. There is treatment, you just have to find the right help. Please allow your parents to help and guide you. You'd be surprised how much they know.
Could not relate more. For some reason I turn around every 15 seconds in there is space behind me. I’m paranoid and get scared doer the smallest things. I love space, but I’m so scared of black holes. I’m scared that out of nowhere I’ll just die. I feel like if I talk about my dreams I’ll be cursed. I feel like everybody can read my mind and that they are judging me. Whenever somebody stares at me in public I’m scared they wanna hurt me. I can’t do anything. I’m scared of people hating me an thinking I’m worthless.
“ Stop worrying ur fine” pisses me off
My "gf" hit me with that the other day when I told her I felt overwhelmed, felt like I was suffocating and drowning and she responds with its not that big a deal you'll be fine
We being Stupid
I get how it can. But it’s hard for someone that doesn’t have anxiety to know how you actually feel.
bella mary also when people say “ your just paranoid” my mother says that to me all the time and I hate it so much
exactly my friend says that to me almost everyday but im actually not fine she just doesnt get it
Or when people just say "get over it" or "just be happy". It makes you feel like your problems are invalid when they're not.
Overthinking about past mistakes or wrong decisions I made, with the unknown future is what gives me anxiety
I have anxiety(my symptoms)
- Worrying
- crying
- heart racing
- move my hands weird
- intrusive thoughts
- feel like a terrible person
- overthinking
- cant focus too much
What I feel like when I go to school:
They’re looking this way
Are they looking at me?
They’re laughing
Are they laughing at me?
They looked away
Was it because of something I did?
Was it me?
Same
I try not to think that way but, I still keep doing it, I just can't stop being anxious everytime I observed something
@@totallynot5903 Anxiety really is the worst
Same things happens to me but I don’t have anxiety🤔
@@kyb740 good for you... Cuz having anxiety feels like hell when panic attacks happen
I hate when people KNOW that you have an anxiety disorder and the say "why are you so scared of everything"
•M & M• or when people ask if your ok like obviously not or tell you to calm down...
•M & M• The best is when they say, "Well, why don't you just try not to think about it?"
Gee, wHy diDN't I ThInK oF THAT?
I hate it when people don't know I have social anxiety and they say "What's the matter? You don't have to get all scared when ur talking" I just feel like no one understands. This video really helped me because I can relate to this video so much 💖💖💖💖
Exactly! And when they're like "it's not even that bad" excuse me? Have you ever gone through this? It's terrifying and you feel like you're all alone with no one to help you
Gummy Bear Girl
I hate that my own parents yell at me for "cowering" when they ask a simple question.
It's not a conscious thought to flinch away, it's a reaction. Why do you have to scold and yell and beat me, or confine me to my room or a tiny little chair, as if punishing me is going to make me get better? It's only made it worse. I'm terrified of even _looking_ at my stepfather now, lest I've done some tiny thing wrong and he calls it out like it's life or death.
My only source of comfort is ranting to strangers who couldn't care less, because at least then my parents can't yell at me for not telling them how I feel when I get yelled at.
Mrs Rhienks, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I just wanted to thank you for posting this. You described it perfectly. That is so perfect. It sums what i go through perfectly. Thank you so much for this.
"Holding onto myself" that is so true. Its what keeps me from maintaining control but my body is so tightly wound .
The worst part is, whenever someone whispers, it feels like they're talking about you.🖤
Yep just happened to me earlier...
SAME! Happened today.
That is definitely no the worst part!
SuiteH3art Not*
Ana Owo Omg yes! Happening to me currently since my 2 teachers like to gossip a lot in class i know its not about me or maybe sometimes me ?

my anxiety pops up when i’m
in public
at school
about to go to bed
in big crowds
in cars
etc
That happens to me. I don't like it I want to make new friends but them my anxiety pops up and slaps me in the face "like what are you do they will think you are weird" that's what I happeneds to me.

I needed this! Today was a rough day for my anxiety but I'm glad to know that I'm not alone, appreciate you making this visual video, it spoke to me.
The worst part for me is like it feels like childhood fears you just never outgrow. I'm still as afraid of the dark, of being alone, of bad weather, of walking across the street as I was when I was 5. Except i feel physically sick and afraid of dying everyday. I wish more people could understand and stop telling me "there's nothing to be afraid of" because i know that. I also feel stupid after an episode passes but there's so little control I can't even begin to explain it
Hi its been two years. May I ask if your anxiety getting better? Im dealing with it right now.
It’s the feeling when
- Your heart races
- Your teeth grit and grind together
- You have cold hands and feet often or your palms sweat
- You can’t stop your thoughts as they overflow
- You have irregular breathing patterns
- You grip your stomach
- You feel as if people are judging you when no one is
- Your self-esteem is non-existent
- You’re scared to talk to people because they won’t understand or they’ll think you’re overreacting
- You avoid eye contact
- You go to “worst case scenario”
Those are just a few.
and i have all these few and counting on many more.
I hate having cold hands and they start sweating because i get nervous and i want to warm them up but they're sweating
What?i dont have anxiety and i can feel that everything you said.
@@oAura7 well then, welcome to the 284m people of the globe that have anxiety.
Overflow thoughts hurt the most to me,it gives me headache and it won't let me sleep ok buddy it's red light now come on hm
When Im at school
-when someone laughs I feel like they're laughing at me
-when they whisper, I feel like they're talking about me
-i always avoid eye contact
-I can't say I have bad marks since everybody expects you to have a good one (cuz apparently all Asians are smart so they expect that from me too)
- I can't even look normal walking down the hallway
-my face suddenly just gets red and I start to sweat a lot
-i zone out
-i feel like when somebody is looking at me they're either judging me or looking straight at my flaws
- I feel so different compared to my classmates
Tea Sis OMG yasss this deserves more likes :)
I remember feeling like that everyday omg ;-;
Ikr... I can relate... I'm Asian too and this things happens to me T^T but idk if I have anxiety or not
same
I had to start online school I would throw up every day before school it got that bad
Dude I cried watching this from how close it hit to home. I’ve dealt with anxiety for as long as I can remember. It’s been a part of me since childhood. But I’ve learned to live one day at a time and one moment at a time. I haven’t been cured but I’ve learned to live. You got this. You’re not alone. ❤❤❤
how my anxiety is:
sweaty palms
shivers
hot flushes
dizziness
headaches
shaking
aching chest
hyperventilation
always having to fiddle with something
being overly sensitive to sounds
I told my mom about my anxiety and she said “thats life”.
It is man
When I first asked my mom if I could go see a counselor about my anxiety she got upset and asked me what she did so wrong to make me need therapy. It sucked, I cried and felt guilty, but she let me go. And now almost 5 years later she has been in therapy for years too and is so much more understanding of me and I understand her better too. I hope someday your mom understands or at least you're able to get the help you need❤
That's not fucking life. Idk what to say I'm sorry man.
Same
I told my dad I have anxiety and he said “no you don’t”
I love how you started talking really fast because that's exactly how it is in your head

its as if you cant keep up.

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here
Microdosing mushrooms can not be deemed bad but one has to find a good mycologist to teach you the right things need to know

anxiety is basically a pain that you cannot see. It's terrible.
That's what people don't understand about anxiety. It's not just what they know as fear. It physically hurts like hell.
You can't see pain. You feel it.
Brick Tin yep that true I have both anxiety and depsstion and they both suck
It's all about vitamin deficiency. Have any of you guys drank fresh orange juice everyday. Its an anti-depressant. Spiritual entities live in plants along with vitamins and minerals essential to the body. God gave them to you. If your free will doesn't take them , you're in trouble. Also honey, the mind doesn't know the difference between reality and imagination. Be Positive and DESTROY the negativity. Youre only in the state youre in cause youre already saying negative things about everything. Honestly did you even say one positive thing in this video. Thrash metal has also proven to destroy these negative thoughts. Also life has duality, stay balanced good and bad are the same thing , just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Get it you guys! Everything I have written so far is just positive thinking, have nothing to do with anxiety, You guys give us ANXIETY! What do you think about that! AHHHH I Feel better now. Brahmacharya - Conservation of Sexual energy also destroys negative thinking before it erupts into an anxiety type action.Fangster

NERVOUS AS ALWAYS
GOOGLING SYMPTOMS
DIFFICULT TO BREATHE WHEN HAVING A PANIC ATTACK

Shoujo Tingz exactly people think it’s a trend these days but it’s a serious issue

sugaa my boii Wait, a counselor can diagnose you with an anxiety disorder?? Let me just email my counselor real fast... 😂
Jk my school counselor doesn’t know a thing about anxiety, but it would be nice if it was that easy.
Mockingjay125 well i guess a counselor can diagnose people but they would need enough info about your life to actually diagnose you with something. sorry i’m not good at explaining things
This is one of the best videos about anxiety. when she said feelings and I’m feeling them all at once. 🥺
This is one of most well written, powerfully spoken pieces I've come across
no one understands what it is either. they assume we’re just stressed about some problem.
they think anxiety is just a short period in time where you stress over something like a test. but no it happens everyday in my life, everytime I mess up, every time I stutter, even when ordering food.
Leah EXACTLY. like seriously i feel like every time i tell someone i’m feeling my anxiety overwhelm me or something they’re like “oh well there’s nothing to be anxious about so just don’t worry.” and i’m like, i’m not freaking worrying for just a short period of time idiot.
Have any of you tried Trasncendental Meditation? check these out: transcendental-meditation.be/anxiety/

Yes, I definitely agree!
It doesn't describe mine except avoiding eye contact
Mariah W right!!.... I have anxiety and it makes everything worse
I've never seen something more accurate in terms of the definition of the constant suffocating feeling of anxiety. This video personified it perfectly.

I always feel anxious when someone calls or even though im expecting their call. I dont like calls in general. I hate how im anxious about small things. Im so frustrated and sad 😭
I hate going out because it just seems it’s getting worse every day
Same here my phone contact is dry af.i don't like phone calls .I would rather talk to someone direct than talking in phone. also when I feel depressed I get a memory loss ...i forgot when i put my things and stuff like that .it happen to me a lot when I'm depressed.

undeadfan , I’m there with you . Toxic mother toxic grandmother both abusive . Physically and verbally. I had to cut off contact with my mother for the same reason . It’s hard growing up without parents and no friends.
undeadfan ,I feel that honestly .. I want to talk more because I feel like we can connect , understand each other and hear each other out , do you have an Instagram? Maybe we can talk on there and become friends?
OMG. That is the best description I've heard in my life about it.
I'm 31yo, medicated with prozac, and I don't know how I still alive, besides other psychological trouble, but anxiety is like the worse sometimes...

i feel like i am drowning in life, feelings, worries. but nobody is trying to pull me out of the water.
Theres so much this world has to offer than worries, just hold on and hope, Life will get beautiful soon.
Talia E then u need to try to pull your self out of the water. Sometimes u gotta work for ur self 'cause no one is gonna help u all the time. It kinda sucks tbh. And don't be drowning all the time. Maybe u just have a bad day, I believe u also had beautiful days too. Just wait. Those days r on their way to ya
Talia E They say that 80% of what you worry about is pointless and just bullshit. I have to keep reminding myself that.
Irene Teresa Angelica : The thing is, it's really hard to do that. its like you have weights chained to you pulling you down so far that the pressure becomes unbearable and it's pushing on your lungs so you couldn't breathe even if there was air.
Talia E Me too but i try to hide it from people,i dont want anyone to think i have any kind of problems most people around me dont i have thought it would make me look weak and i dont want psychology help cuz i truly believe...u are the one that can help urself if ur not willing..than no one can help u
when my anxiety is triggered i get/do
-i get very antsy i have to move around
-i cant breathe that good
-i think about embarrassing things that had happened in the past
-my legs move so much
-i sweat
-i feel very embarrassed and insecure

@@iicoco7757 Exactly! School=Hell.
Have you ever just stopped breathing momentarily? Like, you don’t notice it until you are about to suffocate? Sometimes I do at school and when I gasp for air people stare at me and I can basically hear them saying “What the heck?” “That girl is so weird” “Is this girl like, okay? What the heck?”
Hello there YES omg! and i have asthma to so it acts up. but throughout the day i feel like i forgot to breathe and i have to take a few minutes to stop what i’m doing and just focus on breathing
This is so accurate! I can relate to this video to the very core. I have anxiety since half of my life and it has made me feel guilty for everything i do. I don't leave home, i don't enjoy the world outside because i know if i do it'll end up feeling like I've done a crime. I find it hard to breathe and my ears and face turn red when i have a panic attack. I'm learning to overcome my anxiety but when i have an attack it lasts for days and sometimes months! It's really hard. I can only have hope that one day it'll all be over and I'll enjoy my life as i did when i was a child.
I have had a very bad day today, my anxiety got back on full throttle. Been off anxiety meds for 5 months, i almost forgot how it felt..
Heavy breathing, head spinning, frustration, heart racing, guilt, sad, confused, headatches.. I feel so sorry for you all dealing with this shit, it makes me sad we are so many with this. Sending prayers for you all.
