I can totally relate. Its so hard and people who dont have anxiety just dont understand
it’s not that they don’t understand it’s the fact that anxiety can’t be seen on the inside except for blood pressure
They don't understand bc they can't feel what your feeling or think what your thinking. It's very hard to describe to someone that isn't effected bc they think you should just calm down. It's not that easy. It's alot like addicts, some that is not addicted to something doesn't understand why you keep, drinking, or smoking or taking pills, its a very misunderstood sickness.
ITS IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT ANXIETY 💘 mental health is important! Take care of yourselves ladies! Xoxo
Very important !!!!!
As someone who has been struggling with anxiety for 3 years now, I applaud you for speaking publicly about your experiences. It’s never easy to talk about! This video really helped me! Thank you ❤️
It's crazy that only one doctor out of all of them suggested panic attack. I remember when I was in college in the early 2000's, the bus driver had to pull over because one of my classmates was having a panic attack. Same series of symptoms of not being able to breath, heart pounding, etc. She was on all fours trying to breath and everyone immediately knew she was having a panic attack. Maybe some schools recognize this more than others. It's a shame you had to go through all of that.
You are very brave talking about this sensitive subject! Thank you for sharing your experiences! And remember one thing Victoria........You're not alone!!
Darn anxiety is never any fun, and it takes guts to talk about. You really put it out there with your stories ... much appreciated
To the 1 person who disliked this video, what is wrong with you?
I started having panic attacks after my dad passed away 7 years ago. I was at the hospital watching them try to revive my dad and I collapsed in the floor and couldnt breath. The doctor came in and told my family and i that he was gone and I felt like my heart stopped. Looking back on it i felt ashamed and selfish because i was going through this panic attack and taking time away from my mom who just lost her husband. I still to this day have problems driving past the hospital were my dad passes away...I glad you were able to finally get answers. Take care honey and thank you for sharing your story
Tia oh my god I feel for you so much. You poor thing. Don’t ever feel guilty for that. It was your emotional and physical response to the situation, you can’t help that. Whether you collapsed or not, you were there for your dad and that would have meant so much. 💕💕💕xxxx
@@FeralandFamiliar thank you so much for your comment and sweet words. Much like Victoria I never had anxiety or panic attacks before my dad passed away. Looking back my mom told me that she felt so bad that she couldnt console me or my sister. I told her that she shouldnt feel that way beacuase we were all feeling the same pain. You are very sweet and again i thank you. Take care!
Don't feel guilty for something that you couldn't control... you were losing your dad and you were terrified.
@@shae1417 thank you dear I appreciate that. I now know how to help my anxiety and now it's a lot easier to talk about. Take care
So sorry for your loss! Thinking of you :)
LOVED this video.. i subbed.. i have bad anxiety and never had it when i was younger.. my story sounds alot like yours. of how it started.. im actually on an intermitant medical leave at work cause of my anxiety and all the pills they have had me on.. ugh.. none of them hellped only made it worse.. they had me on 5 anti depressants at one time.. the ssriis or whatever was SO BAD.. told her how bad they were on me, but then she would give me a new pill, then find out it was the same kind of med
My heart beats when I lay down and I think I’m gonna die 🥺
I've never come across the most realist UA-cam video ever... not an exaggeration. Really opened up my eyes about anxiety.
Such a great video. I'm positive this will help someone. I have had anxiety my whole life and was only diagnosed 2 years ago. Looking back it is crazy I thought my anxiety fueled life was normal.
😌👍👍 I had one and I didn’t even know it ....it lasted a whole month....so thank you for sharing that ...... god bless you😘
Victoria, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.❤️
I remember my very first panic attack like it was yesterday and it was about 25yrs ago! And yes! It was terrifying. I was only finally officially clinically diagnosed TWO years ago. I’m 54. I said... I NEED HELP! I got it! I am so glad you are on the right path Victoria. It’s STILL a daily struggle yes; but guess what? WE are a strong group, we’re fighters 💪. Stubborn? Yes... but fighters ❤️ and I’m not ashamed.
I’m so sorry honey. This makes me cry. I know exactly how you fill. My anxiety gets so overwhelming.
Thank you for making this video. I have been struggling with anxiety/depression for about a year and have no clue where to go or what to do. I’m 22 now and feel like no one around me will understand. My family also moved across the country and I’m living with my boyfriend now. I feel like it started when they moved? Your video gave me strength to keep pushing and to stay strong. Thank you so much 💕
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's not easy by any means! I've suffered with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I've been to the ER a couple of times bc I thought I was dying when it was actually a panic attack.
It's so terrifying!! But you are definitely not alone and I'm glad you were able to finally get answers.
Thank you for making this video I am 10 and I have horrible anxiety
You have described me!
I got diagnosed with Adult Separation Anxiety, OCD, PTSD and agoraphobia and Panic Disorder.
Thank you for sharing! I have many students and family members with anxiety, and your story helped me to have a better understanding.
Thank you for this video. I have not personally been diagnosed with anxiety, but I can relate to a lot of what you said, so I can only imagine how truly awful it’s been for you. Question for you: did you notice a big change after you stopped taking the oral contraceptive? I stopped taking mine at the beginning of this year and I’ve now realized that it played a HUGE role in my mental well-being. You always hear about anxiety and depression being side effects to the pill, but you never think it’s gonna happen to you. Until it does. So if anyone else is wondering if their birth control might be effecting them negatively in this way, it totally can!! I’m so happy for you that you were able to figure out what was going on, even if it’s not what you wanted to hear. And I’m thankful that you chose to share your story with all of us Birch Family members 💕💕
Oh girl, I understand. I really do. I battled with anxiety for years. It started in high school and I finally got it under control once I started medication. I was on the highest dose they could give me because of the depression it caused. I won’t get into my story because this is not about me, but I know once I was on the medication there was so much more clarity. I was able to work on myself and find the root causes. Sometimes just the fear of anxiety can cause it and it’s crippling. Oils really help support me. You could always try those! I’ll be praying for you and thinking of you ❤️❤️
I think it’s super important to talk about anxiety and mental health in general. I’m so glad you are talking about it because it needs to be talked about more. Thank you Victoria for sharing your story and take care of yourself everyone 💕💕
Your sister is so funny and adorable
Hey Victoria I remember a while back you were doing a makeup declutter and I found this new makeup and skincare line called Sugar Rush by tarte. Its all vegan and crulty free products and I have used them recently and its really good.
I understand but I started when I was 3 and I still have it and and I’m 21
Girl! I have suffered from anxiety since high school and I can remember the first panic attack
It sounded almost identical! I’m so thankful you found help for it and it does get better and better I promise! Your amazing and strong and it’s so important others hear your story! I live near you and would love to get coffee sometime! I don’t know many people here :)
I'm currently going through similar issues, feeling fatigue, pain, anxiety and depression. One Dr recommended seeing a psychologist, saying it was all in my head. Another dr decided to do a handful of blood tests and found an abnormal autoimmune result. I've seen a specialist and likely have an autoimmune issue (partly genetic but impacted by stress), but I also decided to see the psychologist which has been extremely worthwhile. They help you understand why you feel the way you do and give options to ease the symptoms, they give you a safe supportive space so you don't feel so alone, and most importantly they validate what you're feeling so you don't feel so crazy. I'm a little unsure as I've been told vet nursing isn't helping me.. so am considering my options :/ Anyway, thanks for sharing and stay strong!
I had an anxiety attack once that woke me up while I was sleeping and I 100% believed I was having a heart attack and going to die. I haven’t gotten another one since but I can only imagine how traumatic that has been for you. Thank you for making the video.
Im 25 aswell and had my first panic attack at 17 glad to see other people go through what I went through. I have 2 kids ...now and can handle anxiety a little better now.
Bless your heart. Very humble of you to share your personal journey. I'm sure it will help more people then you know. It's not funny but my 1st anxiety attack I told the my friend I thought I need an inhaler, I thought I was having a Asthma attack. I was 17 I had already been diagnosed with lots of different mental health issues. I had heard Anxiety but NEVER knew what it REALLY was. I thought it was just like extreme nervousness, NOT ACTUALLY FEELING LIKE YOU WERE GONNA DIE, SERIOUSLY I COULDN'T BREATH. WORSE FEELING IN THE WORLD. Of course thinking your dying and can't BREATH just makes the anxiety worse, which you learn in time different coping techniques to help with that. It is very scary, and very confusing, mental health is a serious problem that needs to be addressed more often. Thanks for sharing.
EDIT: I DIDN'T HAVE ASTHMA, SO I DIDNT NEED AN INHALER...... I HAVE MIGRAINES AND HIGH BP.
That's why I LOVED THE "NORMAL IS BORING" saying bc I've never been "normal". 💚💕💙😁
Your so cute 🥰🥰
You are amazing! I know the courage must have taken to make this video. Mental health is not easy to talk about. We need all the voices we can get. So many people suffer in silence and if one person can be reached sharing is worth it. Thank you for your courage and selflessness. Thinking of others is the mark of a truly kind person. You are a mental health warrior own it and be proud!
Awwww I have always suffered and like you it started in my early 20s.
Dee Watson creampies help with anxiety. Let me know if u want one ✌🏼
Thank you for your honesty. I have woken up out of a deep sleep feeling like I couldn't breathe. I wonder if that is what I have.
I've never told anyone about it but it is so scary.
You are such a sweetheart! I'm very sorry you had to struggle but you should be proud of yourself for talking about this and sharing your pain with others. My daughter has anxiety so I completely understand ❤
I’ve had anxiety since I was really young but as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten different types
Bless your heart. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it can help others who struggle with anxiety.
My anixety help me if a do EFT tapping it really help ❤️❤️ EFT tapping on youtube 👍
Your such an amazing young lady please stay true to yourself and always take care of you first im almost 52 and it took me a very long time to realize that especially being a mother i always took care of everyone else first keep your head up and remember sometimes it takes one moment at a time
You should try using KRATOM for anxiety, i use it and it works great!!
I just want to say thank you for making this video! I have now been diagnosed with severe anxiety. But just to hear you say these things helps me relate. So thank you! You are awesome!
A miscarriage brought on my anxiety at 25. 5 months ago. I feel you 110%. I didn’t know what was happening at first. Was just put on bp meds. Still happening almost daily. I hate this.
I have had various forms of anxiety since I was very young. I never talked about it because I knew it my entire life and I just assumed it was normal. It wasn’t until I was about 24-25 before it was officially diagnosed and I got treatment. And I feel so much better with it. I completely understand what you are going through.
I am an old fart. Lol I have been suffering from anxiety since 1978. Ive been through so many different medicines, therapies, coping mechanisms, that I should write a book! But there are two major factors that TRULY turned my life around!
-once you suffer an anxiety attack/panic attack, you can develop an anxiety ABOUT YOUR ANXIETY! Which you have! Hence feeling the need to be around others. Sleeping in your car at the hospital! You begin to limit yourself to try and avoid the anxiety, which in and of itself, is anxiety! Have the confidence that you can handle this! IF you have an attack, you have the knowledge to know it at least. Yes, you would FEEL as if you will die. But KNOW that you wont! Your body will still be signaling otherwise. But having your brain acknowledge that you wont, helps to gain control! And also, take it off the list of "triggers" . So you can stop having anxiety about anxiety! You will be shocked when you accomplish this! I could not believe how much I was anxious over being anxious, u til I no longer was worried about having an attack.
-The body burns magnesium when under stress. You were working, and going to school. Even though you were being very successful, it was loaded with stress! Even something exciting, say a new house, or a new pet, any kind of change even, carries stress. And the body uses magnesium to handle the effects of stress.
When a oerson is stressed, the heart rate rises. Breathing excellerates. Digestion system stops. And many other things. If you are low in magnesium, the body has no way to counteract these symptoms. When the body raises the heart rate, increases breathing, stops the digestive system, and more, it FEELS like, you are in danger! And since there really is no danger to deal with, you have a panic attack. This sounds like what happened to you! And then, you developed an anxiety, about your anxiety!
It is a vicious cycle! I have been off all medications for over 20 years now! I do have moments where I can feel my anxiety beginning to rise. I ask myself, what is the source. (I had an abusive childhood. So i have some residual triggers) I mentally address the sitution if it happens to be an environmental trigger. Or if it is a worry or concern, (we have have worries. Financial. Or maybe worried about a loved one) Then I talk myself through it. And I use "coping skills". Like meditation. Grounding. Breathing. And others. AND!!! I EAT LOTS OF FOOD HIGH IN MAGNESIUM!!!!!!
These two facts have literally changed my life! I wish i had this knowledge many years ago! I hope they can help you as well. You and your family are so sweet! I really wish you peace of mind! And happiness!
I never comment on anything, but THANK YOU so much for speaking up about this! I've struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember, it is HORRIBLE. I'm taking classes through Penn Foster to become a Vet Tech and you are seriously so inspiring!
You and your sister are two precious people. You’ve brought some happiness to my life. Victoria, you are so beautiful in and out. Anxiety is a cruel feeling. Been there. You’ll get through everything and have a beautiful life. Tell Alexandra Hello 🙂
I have struggled with anxiety since I can remember 😕 it's not fun and it effects your loved ones☹️ thinking of you
My son is in his early 20s..suffers from anxiety and panic attacks..I know what you have been thru and how difficult it is to function..College was so hard for him..not academically but just being in a class setting..You are strong to go thru what you did..💕
Thank you so much for filming this video and being vulnerable with us. I can totally relate, sweet girl. I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember, but it got way more severe when I started college. I would wake up every night in the middle of the night with panic attacks and was scared to be alone, but I also got sick to my stomach and threw up every single day. This was all while working and going to school. I’m on medication now which helps TREMENDOUSLY. It is such a debilitating issue to deal with. Thank you again for sharing this with us, and I’m praying for you about your sweet fur baby and your new life transition ❤️
Anxiety sucks. I started having anxiety in middle school to the point where I would hide so I wouldn’t have to go to school. That’s crazy how they gave bp meds though because I always have high bp at the dr. But I’m like “ ya I’m fine, I just have anxiety” so my dr made me record my bp at home and it’s normal
Wow! Everything you described is exactly what I was going through but mine didn’t start until my 30’s. I thought I was going through menopause early or something. They sent me to cardiologist too and checked everything out then they said it must be panic attacks. I was like, but I’m not stressed I don’t think but they said just because you don’t feel stressed doesn’t mean you aren’t. I tried 3 different meds before I found one that helped. I also called an ambulance on myself and went to hospital and they found nothing. I would just lay in bed and cry and ask god to help me because I didn’t know what to do. I sometimes still feel it but nothing like it was. Thanks for doing this. Love from NC❤️❤️❤️
People that don't have anxiety, have no idea what it feels like to have anxiety. It's not just over thinking. It's a full body reaction. Your mind and body think you're in danger, even when you're not. And the thing is you usually know it's irrational, but you can't stop any of it. I've had anxiety since childhood, thanks trauma. I think because of how long I've had it I've developed a lot of coping mechanisms...not all good. Like I need to be in control of my environment. But I've also found grounding super helpful, especially in large crowd which tend to trigger anxiety attacks for me.
Same exact thing to me, just I was 18 in school, for no reason I started having bad anxiety. I would end up throwing up when I had anxiety attack, I hated being around ppl, I ended up quitting school n for ever just staying in my room, I couldnt even have my mom come over without just staying/sleeping in the bathroom.. Sucks no one understands, still to this day im on meds n suffer from it. I have lived longer with it then without. Thanks for sharing, sounds so much like me, except alot of ppl still dnt like me, quest me, n or say bad things about me, I just deal daily..
Mine started in 9th grade im 17 now mine mostly comes from obsessive thoughts like my first panic attack was in 9th grade while sitting in class in the morning in between two people and I was looking straight ahead and I couldn’t move cuz I felt like everyone was staring at me so I put my head down and quietly cried 🤘🏼 I’m a guy btw who was considered popular until High school but I dropped out in 10th last year im going to get my ged though I don’t have it as bad as I used to but I still have general anxiety everyday but I don’t have the obsessive thoughts anymore
I started having panic attacks after having my second baby. I thought i was having a heart attack also. My husband took me to the ER. after that when we would be driving home i'd start having panic attacks everytime. And also when everyone was asleep at night and i'd be up by myself with the baby i'd have panick attacks. It sucks!
Oh girl. I have had anxiety since I was 8
I would go to school every morning crying and they thought that I just wanted attention. Every day I’d get yelled at. I wondered what was wrong with me and I couldn’t figure it out. My parents knew something was up and took me to the doctor who said I was fine. My dad was the one who always did anything he could to help me. When I got to grade 6 my anxiety kind of went away. At the end of grade six however my dad was diagnosed with cancer. This of course broke me. I stayed strong for my dad, I held it all together. In grade 7 he passed away. My anxiety relapsed, and I developed depression. Grade 8-9 have been decent for my anxiety but depression was terrible. I’m in grade 10. So this year my depression hit as hard as ever which was accompanied by anxiety and ocd. I haven’t gone to school for a while because I can’t put myself through it and no one understands me. I feel so alone. I finally saw a therapist who is by my side but it’s so hard. Thank Victoria for sharing your experience 💜
When I was young I had severe anxiety and panic attacks just as you are having now. It is a very real, and scary disorder. Nothing for you to be ashamed or embarrassed about. I'm glad you are working closely with your Dr to get this under control. Good luck to you dear. I know how hard it is. Also, stay weird. I love you girls.
I love you so much Victoria. I just showed this video to my mom who has been dealing with anxiety for about 3 years. Your explanation of anxiety and the way you talk about your personal experience with it is so eye opening. She and I love you so much for sharing this. I'll be sharing this on my facebook page for all of my friends to see and better understand.
God bless you 🙏 you being so transparent for this video reminds me of myself. I remember feeling like I was having a heart attack and telling my now husband to take me to the ER. Anxiety sucks. For many years my husband thought I made up my symptoms, just recently he told me he had some symptoms that I said I have had and he now understands how exhausting it is. I never understood how anxiety and depression are sister diagnosis' until I was working for what I now call a toxic company and every single day I would have an anxiety attack. I can say I have been 'attack free' since August of last year. I even was depressed and had suicidal thoughts before I was let go from the toxic company after 13 years with them.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was very relatable it's very sad that you had to keep going to all these different professionals before finally receiving an answer. I only had to wait 3 days before I was told that I was having panic attacks and was suffering from anxiety. Usually only those you have really bad anxiety themselves understand what it feels like, and how hard it is to keep yourself, heart and mind in control when your body just can't take it for any longer. It's just a horrible/terrifying experience.
Anxiety is a terrible thing. Not sure if you consume caffeine? If you do, it would probably be a good idea to avoid it. Caffeine is not ok if you suffer from anxiety.
My wife recently started suffering anxiety due to our landlord , she doesn’t open up and talk about it and she is scared to get judged by her peers, how can she talk or open up to her friends about anxiety ? My wife and I love your videos 💙💚
Wow what a story, thank you for sharing. That waking up in the middle of the night to a panic attack is something I suffered with for many years also, the whole "coming out of nowhere", really horrible but looks like you have some good coping mechanisms in place now so good job )
Thank you for posting this. I suffer from anxiety lots of people don't understand it.
I'm slowly watching over your videos, and I want you to know how good it feels to see someone be able to put into words what has plagued me for so long. Unfortunately though I have more than just anxiety. I have heart problems and so much more that makes it even more difficult to narrow down what may be happening to me at any given moment. Again, as I said in another comment, thank you for your videos and the happiness and good things you do for everyone!. Cheers!
❤️❤️❤️ I live with severe mental health issues which has completely destroyed (and still does) my life in so many ways and I relate to your struggles. A lot of people get angry and defensive when hearing they have a mental disorder, like it makes you a freak or less of a person. It’s good that you decided to help yourself and improve your situation.
I have anxiety. When my brother left for veterinary school last year in August I had bad anxiety when I saw him leave and crying. I couldn't stand my brother leaving. It felt like my entire world had collapsed and my heart felt empty. But now he is somewhat done and it is so much easier because I've gotten used to him leaving. But it is always gonna be hard when someone leaves because he meant the world to me. He was like my protector. I know how it feels having anxiety.
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment (says so many commenters all over UA-cam) but you’ve given me the confidence to seek out if medication is right for me. I’ve never known anyone on it before and the thought of facing it alone terrified me. Today, I made an appointment to see a doctor and I remembered that you endured the same thing I’m going through. So, just please know your video did help this girl. It made me feel I am not alone and that it is okay to seek medication if that’s what you truly need to function and heal. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I been having anxiety attacks since February 14 an I feel like it’s gonna put me in the hospital I also struggle with depression an the most struggle is my family don’t believe me I was diagnose with depression by comprehension and I stopped eating for a year than got back on track to eating it was a long road to recovery I would eat just a little an felt like puking an stopped eating again because I couldn’t take feeling sick than July of 2018 I started eating than I would puke it up but I finally it took me a total of three months of throwing whatever I would eat back up an it’s been almost 6 months of feeling sick but no more puking an now I have stomach problems but I’m recovering from my eating disorder it’s a hard road to recovery it’s just hard being a teenager but I wanna become healthier to become who I’m supposed to be
Girl, I can totally understand you. I am a first year veterinary medicine student and the level of stress has been nothing I've dealt in my life before. I know that it's the big challenge of this profession to withstand the pressure, to be as perfect as possible. And I really love the studies, it is very interesting and I can't imagine anything else I could be studying. But then even a simple presentation which has 0 impact to my grades can cause a panic attack for me. I've learnt to deal with it most of the time now, but some bigger failures can cause my mind to shut down and a panic attack to appear. It's like I can prevent it from coming by communicating and pushing negative thoughts away but once it's here I can't stop it. If anyone here also feels like this don't forget you're not alone because it really helps knowing that someone else also might feel this way❤️
Going off topic but does your sister have a UA-cam channel because I love her soo much!
This was hard to watch because I suffer from anxiety and depression. It took me a long time to realize that I needed help and I'm glad I finally did. Thank you for being a voice for those of us who don't have the platform or the audience to do so! It was incredibly brace to speak out and share your story the way you did and I know that it will help many people. People with invisible pains need to know they're not alone. You're amazing and I hope you know that so many of us look forward to each and every one of your videos. I hope you always stay weird. Love you, girl.
It is so so brave to share this story, and so so brave that you persisted with finding out what the issue was. It can take SO long, I know from experience, but getting to the bottom of it is so so worth it. Take it day by day, and always listen to your body. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I don't have anxiety, but my friends and family do. Videos like this one help me to understand what they are dealing with so I can help them when they need it.
Did you know anxiety is classified as a disability? I have severe anxiety, and I dont take medicine anymore for it actually what helps me with mine is my service dog! He is task trained to alert the my behavior before a panic attack happens, alerts to my heavy breathing before I pass out, lots of others but it is something very real that alot of people dont understand! You are not alone!
I totally understand and can relate. I have had anxiety since I was a little girl. People who don’t have an anxiety disorder totally can’t relate.
Omg thank you so much for this video Victoria.I am the same age and I related to everything you went through n everything you said that has happened to you,happens to me all the time in certain situations and no1 understands me n I do feel so alone with my anxiety as its unexplainable to others.And I suffer really bad anxiety attacks,the hospital doctors have told me several times,as I feel like you often when my anxiety comes.when u said u thought u where having a heart attack.I feel that so often and ad I also suffer from a BSD heart,boeng born with a hole in my heart n other heart problrms, it scares me so much as I don't no which one it is in those situations.you are truely so brave for sharing this video and iam so greatful that u did.thank you ever so much.xo
Oh my gosh sweetie! I am so sorry for what you went thru before you got real answers! I have battled with this for 2 years, and I just hate that you had to go thru it too. I can see it still really bothers you, and I hope you are able to move past this and enjoy your life. You never really said that you're on meds that are controlling it for you. I hope that's the case. I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and always love to see new ones from you. Keep moving forward, hun, and never forget that you are amazing! Hugs!
My anxiety is bad if im in tight places,like i cant be in the back seat of a car that doesnt have a door.
Elevator's with more than 3 people in it sets me off..
Xanex isnt the answer that made it worse..
This video made me tear up😢 I suffer from anxiety too but was lucky enough to find out what it was through another creator who just like you decided to make a video to help others even if it was just one person. Thank you so much for opening up and sharing something so vulnerable with us. Love you so much Victoria💜💜💜
Im soo sorry you had to experience that. I hope you are feeling much better. I have anxiety too and depression on top of that. I would feel like i couldnt breathe when i would have an attack.
You mentioned in another video that you have adhd, anxiety and depression is a huge factor of adhd because the effect of the frontal cortex. I struggle with all of this also since I was a little girl
Gurl.... I feel ya. I get it randomly too. Too much multitasking does it to me at work. I get to where I can breathe. I also have depression. Mental health is so important. It can be debilitating. I’m on medication for both. It still gets me sometimes. At least I don’t cry once a day now.
its soo hard I've had it for 8 years and ive tried that many things and can't seem to fix it. my anxiety is sooo bad that I end up throwing up continually its so bad ...
I was like you in the sence of thinking that it was all in peoples heads. Untill I had my daughter and now I have it when I drive. I have to drive 30 minites to work and back every day and I feel ad if I cant breath every day and it is worse when my daughter is in the car with me. I use to love to drive, and now I hate it.
it’s so annoying because my friends are like annoyed at me for having anxiety because they think it’s my fault that i have it which i hate because i obviously didn’t choose to get anxiety like no one does
People who don't have a mental illness will never understand... it's not in our head, it's a neurological condition and we can't control it. I don't have anxiety but I do have another serious mental illness that has sent me into panic attacks a few times so I have an idea what it must be like.
Can you tell me what medicine they put you on my Daughter has been going through the same thing for about 7 yrs
Where do you live can we be best friends ?? This video made me cry because this has been me my entire life . I need someone .. anyone in my life I can relate to , talk to , feel comfortable with .
I've been having high blood pressure since my sister died. I am diagnosed with OCD. I was six when I was diagnosed. I still have panic attacks because of her death, especially when I wake up. I'm trying to find new medication and such, so I really enjoyed hearing you explain your panic attacks. It's always inconclusive until you learn it's a mental condition. You're really nice for sharing this. I'm weird! Hahah! I'll always be weird, ask my friends, lol.
Wow I didn't realize how bad your anxiety is. It doesn't make me feel so alone. I use to hate myself over my anxiety and feel so embarrassed when I've had to take off work in the past because I was "sick." I've learned to accept it and love myself anyways. People have all sorts of sicknesses; anxiety shouldn't make us feel any worse than someone who suffers from asthma, chronic migraines, IBS, etc. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
great video, lots of good stuff said. Its hard to see people going through this but i can relate so much with what youre going through.I truly admire you for putting yourself out there for the whole world to see. It's people like you and me that can make a difference by sharing our experiences. I truly think we can help each other. UA-cam and its platform has helped a lot in reaching out to others and sharing our stories and how we cope with Panic disorder/anxiety/depression. Stop by some time. You have a new subscriber:)Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Let go of what’s gone, be grateful for what remains and look forward to what is coming. You never realize how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Don’t forget you’re human. It’s okay to have a meltdown. Just don’t unpack and live there. Refocus on where you’re headed. You are limited only by the walls you build yourself. Knock down those walls, and you will be free. Build your confidence. Two things will ultimately define your life: Your accomplishments, and your character. You are so worth it. Your biggest successes are still to come. A step at a time. I wish you good health & happiness on your journey:)
Girl, I feel you, I was in the same situation. I’m finally on meds too and working through everything day by day... one day at a time. Thanks for making this video, it definitely made me feel better that I wasn’t crazy. It’s a real thing and it really helps to talk about it and know you’re not alone. Love you 😘 BTW... how’s your fur baby? I hope you two are spending lots of special quality time together. 😪
U go girl anexity sux keep alexandra number one ur a great girl keep ur head up
I started getting the worst anxiety of my life after I graduated college and was going into a new job. Everything happened within the same month, and I guess I was just scared of my huge life changes. I would profusely shake and cry because I had such bad anxiety. I wouldn’t eat because I was afraid of getting sick, and I was afraid to be by myself. I had my mom and sister come stay with me so I didn’t have to be by myself. That was the scariest thing for me because you have no way of controlling it, it just comes. My anxiety has calmed down now but it’s because I’ve found better ways to cope such as a weighted blanket (makes me feel safe and secure), my fiancé holding me until I stop shaking, and I even tried meditation and lavender oil. I don’t wish anxiety on anybody. At least now it is a more excepted topic to talk about, there are a lot of people going through it as well. Thanks for sharing! You aren’t alone out there 💕
You are telling my story... 😲 soooooo recognizable
❤
Praying for you girl! We should get coffee sometime it would be so nice to have a friend in this military town where I know no one !
I had my first anxiety attacks in my teens too, I thought I was having a heart attack every time, I didn't feel like I could tell my parents so I felt very alone with it. I remember feeling very relieved when I finally learned what it was. The biggest things that have helped me get through it is a combination of meditation, exercise and acceptance, not trying to escape the sensations even if they feel very intense, and that always stops it from becoming a panic attack.There is a guy on UA-cam who is great called 'Mingyur Rinpoche' who talks about how he completely beat it for good, I have been watching his videos and it has been amazing.
I used sensory toys for my anxiety cause they calm me down and I have a rare syndrome as well
