The Anxiety Princess - This page is aimed at addressing mental illness with focus on anxiety, the blessing and curse I have been living with for almost 2 years. My aim is to create awareness around mental illness and provide support to people who do not know how to approach and get a handle on their mental illness. Mental illness is not a death sentence and when managed and understood, you start walking a journey to wellness. Its not the easiest ride but it has come with some valuable lessons. This channel will provide you will all the knowledge you will need. The page was initially started on Facebook however I aim to reach the world through all the channels I couldn't possibly navigate on. I post blogs as well on a daily which you can check out on my Facebook page that provides some coping mechanisms you can try out in this fight for mental wellness.
I came straight from ur insta story coz I felt I needed to say something but now I can't even put it into words.ive had to actively ask my doctor to put me back on my anti anxiety medication just last week because I felt myself slowly going into that dark hole.my problem is the invalidating ur feelings and not understanding why u don't want to delve deeper into it because of the repercussions,honestly I was put into a situation when I was young which would change my life forever n honestly it was not their fault but how do u explain that to ur parent without them blaming themselves.its tough,im being called mean or moody everyday while i feel like the walls are closing in on me.Yooo mntase this is so triggering n honesty wouldn't wish mental disorders on my worst enemy
Thank you for this Thumeka. Beta blockers almost killed me (maybe I was imagining it) but it kept me awake since it made my heart rate go crazy, made me feel like I’m about to vomit out my soul 😂... which made my anxiety worse. 😞 I don’t want to see those pills in my life. Hhhaibo! It shows how most doctors overlook mental health compared to physical health.
I definitely think you were no imagining it. Same thing happened to me. My blood pressure dropped so significantly I was on the verge of passing out. As far as I know they are used to treat heart conditions. One of the symptoms for anxiety attacks it’s the heart palpitations- so I think naturally they want to treat that but honestly it’s a miss. I’m not a doctor but the experience was horrible. I have been lucky that 2 of my doctors actually studies mental illness as well.
I love the topics that you have covered. Boundaries are really important to keep us from being anxious at work and our personal lives. I have put a stop on number of things already this year.
I loved how you demonstrated the evolution of self management. From having an idea, to getting more ideas and then narrowing it down again. I loved the final segment with advice of how to be better. Mine is the one about stopping letting everybody in. I needed that message because I tend to be mother mary and then get overwhelmed. Thank you for this channel. I am learning a lot.
Hey how are you doing? Can you be specific in terms of what you mean by help? Do you mean therapy? Because you will need to rule out anything physically wrong with - so doctor first to run all the test then therapy if your diagnosis is anxiety.
Started following you a few days ago on IG because of make up and sneakers but I just saw on your stories that you also cover such segments and my heart jumped! I'm willing to binge watch mntakabawo. I'm low-key scared that I don't get triggered and struggle to sleep or something but I'm willing to walk this journey. I swear I'm telling my friends to subscribe because yah no!❤️
You know, it really burns me up how the local news only mentions mentally ill people when they do something bad, they never mention when we achieve good deeds and goals. It’s just not fair or right.
Hey. I enjoyed the vid. I've been trying to find for a RU-vid vid similar to yours that informs everything in this RU-vid vid! 👩⚕️ 🙌Your lesson actually reminds me of the videos from Doctor Ethan. Dr Ethan's videos are actually informative and he helped me a lot on my exams. He is an educational med student in the UK. I suggest you watch his YT out and give the med student a subscribe here! ➡️ #LearnFromDrEthan
Lovely to hear this from an African. You’re really going to help a lot of people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I didn’t understand anxiety or depression until I came here. Almost everyone i know is on anti depressants and it’s mostly all work related or caused by a traumatic experience.
Babe, I was trying to edit a video today. YHU! Ngcono kwa wena who just decided uba you wont even bother! 🤣🤣😂🤣 Just wanted to come here and check and sub. Will keep watching. Well done for bringing this topic up. We don't discuss it enough in society.
Hesana I can’t. I honestly can’t spend 10 hours editing a video. The important thing is the message to I am sending across. I can imagine how much time content creators take to master this thing. No shame andizi Thank you so much for watching babe ❤️ appreciate your support
It’s a full time job. Hence more content creators are doing it full time. Others hire editors. Find what works. Looking forward to catching the rest ❤️
