When we are under a lot of pressure, and anxiety arises continuously, it feels very tight in the chest. Also we feel unable to do anything meaningful. This is all so tiring 😔
It feels like your chest is on fire. Like there is an icy hand gripping your heart. It feels like your chest is swimming in tar and your lungs is constantly drowning but barely managed to reach the surface...
1. Focus on one thing 2. Practice sleep hygiene 3. Exercise 4. Break away and have time to yourself 5. List hypotheticals and act on them 6. Practice gratitude Hope this helps 🖤 I've never done this before, so thanks to all who put in the effort when they do this!
I've been facing a lot of problems regarding anxiety. A racing heartbeat, uncontrollable breathing, overthinking, and even constant biting of nails. This helped a lot and I'm glad I finally have some ways to reduce this stress.
As someone with an anxiety disorder, I will definitely be working on these! I'm already trying to regulate my sleep. Another great way to combat anxiety by the way is setting little goals. Just starting with little goals can lead to big things later on

I had a traumatic experience a couple months ago where I had 2 back to back panic attacks for the first time ever that were labeled as seizures. Ever since than I've struggled with anxiety immensely and can't seem to shake it. Even on the good days it sneaks up on me and alters the rest of my day, so throughout the whole day I never truly feel safe. I've had depression in the past and I overcame it relatively fast, but nothing compares to anxiety. I've been living in an almost constant state of fear and can't seem to shake it. Just the sound and feel of my own heartbeat scares me sometimes. I have no one to talk to about it and the people I can talk to about it can never give me reassurance, only pessimism. I know I'll overcome it eventually but that time-line feels so far away and all I want is to feel safe in my own skin again.
My dad gave me some pretty simple advice once, and it made sense to me, I hope it'll be atleast a little helpful to you: Identifying where the anxiety comes from is a big step in handeling it. Once you know what's triggering the panick attack you can face it head on, or gradually, as you like. Second major thing is: Is it fight of flight? Is this anxiety life threatening, or not? Identifying if it can actually be physically harmful to you or not can help with the self reassurance of the situation. I also use a method called grounding, very good to take your focus off it, do search it up if you want to. :) I hope this completely unsolicited advise from me and my dad can be of use to you, goodluck stranger you can do it!!
I find this video very valuable because it VERY fits to me. Anxiety is super tiring and overwhelming.And well... the gratitude again. I;m slowly practicing in in small steps in that gratitude journal, which I started immediately after that lovely episode "6 habits to live a happier life". Some times it kinda works x3 Well see if in the future practicing gratitude will work more. Anyway I AM GRATEFUL to you psych2go, because your delicate way of giving to thinking without judging is something I REALLY NEED x3
@@Psych2go I think I do. I started not so long ago without even being aware of it. Some of your episodes gave me better look on what I started to work and on what not yet. According to your animations I suppose to have SO MUCH to do. Don't know if I will ever reach it all, but at least this chanel gave me a little good nice start x3 And thank you for the heart so much! First I ever got from psych2go! ^^ What a nice gesture. And a little thingy to write in the gratitude journal * hugs *
@@Psych2go P.S If you will ever see one of my comments valuable enough to mention them in the animations, you can do it without even asking me. I would feel honored anyway. Take care and best wishes to you psych2go team!
I know this has nothing to do with the video but I just felt I needed to say this. I finally told my parents that I need therapy. Okay so I’m 13 and I have been struggling with my mental health for some years, but some days ago I finally told my parents I needed help. It was hard to explain how I felt (even tho I already know mostly how I feel), they ofc asked some questions as parents should (most of the questions were a little hard to answer). But this wasn’t the most important part, it was the fact that I finally convinced myself to go to a therapist and I told my parents which I spend the last month deciding whether I should go (as sometimes my over thinking self talk myself out of it) and finding the right moment to tell my parents. And then also how suppotive my parents, even tho i knew they would be but OVERTHINKING. Btw. Sry if there are some gramme mistakes english isn’t my first language so I don’t know all the gramma rules😅
I'm so proud of you!! It's hard to tell someone that you need help. I'm glad your parents are there to help you get the therapy that you need and want. Now don't give up if the therapist through no fault of their own just isn't giving you what you need. Let your parents know and find another therapist. I went through 3 therapists looking for the one that could help me the best. I finally found her in the #4 therapist. The right therapist makes a difference. Here's wishing you the best!!
Currently anxious, which makes my stomach upset, especially at night. And when my stomachs upset, I make myself more anxious because I have a weird fear vomiting. It becomes an endless cycle. I just thought I'd say something hoping it makes it better a little bit
Being a person with anxiety is overwhelming at times the worry and feeling of hopelessness gets to be exhausting and robs me of the joy I should have for life’s blessings. Sometimes it’s hard to see the trees past the forest I’m in. Thank you for these videos! It helps me put it into perspective and calming. 😊
Your videos are in fact so calming that one can soothe themselves just by having a watch session of your channel. It has helped me a lot! Thank you so much guys for existing on RU-vid. I love you ❤️

TwT this video came at a right time. I've been anxious all night and was super worried about my rising temper and that it might affect others. I'll try to better my sleep schedule more since that's been very bad lately.
The fact that her soft smooth voice helps calm us down and make us feel good, makes us happier that she understands what we feel throughout our life. ❤
OMG this was very helpful I just had situation where I honestly was trying to help a friend I thought but it backfired and within the few days and hours anxiety was at an all time high. But this was Soo helpful to have steps to move forward to make a lifestyle. I believe anxiety doesn't leave u but learning how to control it and not let it control is outstanding!! PERIOD!!!!
This honestly fits with me because I do have times where I feel anxious because of how at times I think of my past and what I did. But I’m gonna watch the tips that they show in the video and hope that it helps me because I’ve been working out a lot recently and that has helped me a little bit with my anxiety. I’m hoping that things do get better for me soon in the future and hope that my life turns around soon by next year.
I worry about a lot of irrational things. All. the. time!!! Recently i’ve been trying to get off my phone more, read, walk, and have a better “go with the flow” mindset. This video has helped me realize what im doing that’s hurting me, and what i can do to control my anxiety and aid it. Thank you so so much Psych2go!!! Lots of love, guys
I’m not being consistent with my sleeping routine, that’s probably the reason. I’m grateful that you raise awareness to many different topics about mental health, relationship, and friendship. They’ve been incredibly helpful. And I know I still have so many things to learn. So thank you so much.
i feel like this video dropped when i need it the most. I've been dealing with anxiety for years but now it feels stronger than ever, and it will get even worse if i don't do something about it, even if i don't know how or if any of the point mentioned here would work on me. though honestly i don't know the point of even fixing myself when i'm all alone and have no one to rely on or a wish worth fighting for. i gave up years ago and i don't know if it's even worth trying to fight back my anxiety and depression again.
Her merely voice calms me down. I sometimes play their video to fall asleep, and I could say it's effective. It feels like someone's always there for you❤
1 year ago, I was having a hard period in my life and now, a year later, here i am, back at the same spot. Back then, i used to come on this channel i read the comments, it helped me relax, now im doing the same thing, I hope that if you read this, it helped you even if its just a bit, and by realizing that this helped, youll be focusing on trying to get better, keep up, you can do it, i swear it does get better :)
Thanks so much for videos like these! I struggle with minor anxiety attacks a lot but they're never bad enough to warrant any professional help, so a nice quick video with tips to help reduce that is really helpful
I have the biggest anxiety of throwing up. I get anxious that I will throw up in school because I been nauseous and having stomach aches lately. I need this. Something that helps me is cold showers. Be calm taking breathes. Reading can kinda of help me. Take things slow. Get things off your mind so you think about one thing at a time. It’s hard sometimes it’s hard for me but you can do it!
This comment wilk be off topic for this video but i have to hear other people thoughts on this I am 14 years old and since i was 11-12 i had this small group of friends. There was three of us that were very close and we loved and supported each other through years but suddenly a little before we turned 14 everything started to change one of the friends became very toxic no one is oerfect and we all have our imperfections that we can to work on but this have gone a little bit too far one of the our little group of friends started to ignore us, doesn't care about our feelings, using us for schoolwork and also started dressing very different pretending she is something she is not, while that also became popular in class with girls i usually hang out me and my other friend were very suspicious about this but we didn't care that much at first but she started to use us only for herself, exploding on every our word that she doesn't like. This was going for a while now and me and my friend said that we've had enough of her using us and telling us to go away like we are some kind of her dogs Now we left all groups with her and we will not pay attention to her. We will be at hi and bye We'll see how she will act tomorrow Thanks for reading this it means a lot! Bye
It seems that's around the age friends seem to go their separate ways and start making other friends. It's sad really. It's happened to me, it's happened to both of my daughters and now my son. But with my son he's the one who left his friends. I do like the fact that you and your other friend decided to not to speak to her at this point. Except for the polite Hi and bye. She's been treating you horribly and using you. If she gets in your face and starts yelling, don't say a word and just walk away. If she calms down and wants to talk to you. You and your friend need to talk first. Tell her exactly what you wrote in your post. You should never let anyone treat you badly ever!! You are a human being and you demand and deserve respect always!! Especially from family and friends. It's hurtful to lose a friend and watch them follow a group that they shouldn't but hopefully she'll figure it out. I hope this helps at least a little bit. Stay safe
I have no one to share my things so can i share here i lost my mother in covid after that my father married again and my new mom is not good she beat my younger sister and and in india she have alots of power she said that she can do false case like we beat her and we demand for dowry it is very common in india woman can do false case for dowry she can separate my father from me i dont have money to spend my life without my father i want to study but she said you have to work
Thank you so much for this video, I’m going through a lot right now and I think I am going insane but I’m really not. I needed these tips thank you for helping my life and others. 💜
@@Psych2go Awww thanks for asking! It went awesome :D and I'm feeling pretty well ❤️ Your channel always helped me whether it's with mental health or love life. Thank You ❤️ ily
I’m a prisoner to my own fears, I keep trying to use drugs to come up for a breath of air (try to hook up with a girl maybe), but addiction drags me back down with a new set of guilt, loneliness, & shame.
I lost my father 2 years ago, my mom and my sister are all that I have got left, and I am scared if I lose my mom what will happen. I'm constantly thinking if my mom is alive and she hasn't gotten into an accident. I hope it gets better.
Usually at 0:40 its really hard for me to focus on one thing because I dont put enough effort into it or just too tired or just over think things, But if you keep practicing it, it will get easier to do and this will really help with coping with anxiety.
when i saw this video i was like: its that easy?! i must try this out! just by hearing youre voice made me feel comfortable and i was realxed by watching this video.this was a lot of help and i hope it works for me! thanks to you now i have many ideas to reduce my anxeity. thank you really!
For now I only practice gratitude , but I think we need to take care as much as we can of our mental health to keep going .❤ ..tx for making such a helpful video
I'll say this after 10 years dealing with it daily after I came back from the army, focus on your breathing. When I was in the middle of a panic attack I would make myself sit still and focus on my breathing until I would feel better and my heart rate would slow to normal
I have anxiety, u can't snap it away, but can decrease it. Alot of these I definitely practice, it helps but won't cure it. I've been up for 2 hours & don't get on my phone until 1 hour later, I like to be literally by myself, use to journal, would like write again, definitely have stressors that is more that I need throughout the days sometimes, but I deal with it how I can. I don't exercise but meditate & sleep with ASMR on which definitely helps, was lacking alot of sleep which definitely will effect it, so I try & sleep at the same time everynight & get up the same time. My work shifts didn't help at once. Working till 1am really took a toll, but fit with my schedule, can definitely for sure use a vacation, however anxiety doesn't have a cure, but u can decrease it. I remove myself from negative situations & do like my alone time as well. Which helps. Too much socializing can be exhausting sometimes, but I also can be a social 🦋 lol too, just depends.
Anxiety What's next thing that's gonna happen? The fear of not knowing is consuming me I always tried to feel in control But now my head is controlling me What can I do? I can't even focus in one single thing I have the answers right in front of me, but the words don't sink When I try to hold it and not lose the grip it's like sand in my hads, it leaks Like sand dry and nasty, it just reminds me of the beach Hopeful summer days ending in frustrated dreams I wish you could take my hand and walk with me Give the comfort I never felt Give me strength when I'm weak When is my life going to change after all I did? Don't you think I deserve a moment of fresh brezze Don't think is time to change some things? Thoughts repeating uncesantly in my head It became a compulsive thing All day long playing in my head, replayed memories It's ironic how I try to feel in control and it ends in fear When roses are dead There's no hope for me I wish there's was one place in this world for me to rest My heart pounding uncesantly in my chest My hands are starting to sweat I wish there a place for me to rest But I don't think I will ever stop worrying
I have anxiety and I can really relate to when your stressed you don’t wanna do anything because I’ll have a really stressful school day and I’ll not wanna do anything all I’d wanna do is just sit there and wait until tommarow
My anxiety is one where I worry, hoping and praying it ends. (The anxiety, not my life.) I worry about the future while under the dark cloud. It’s odd too. Always appears in the evening.
Thank you very much, that you've made this video. It really helped very much. Even now when I am trying to fall asleep and I can't because of the anxiety, that I had almost all day. I will definitely try some of the ideas that you represented in the video. For once more, thank you. (Sorry for my grammar 😅. I' m not a national speaker, but I tried my best)
*Today's message is about a song by Alan Jackson titled - Angels and Alcohol.* Funny title, right.* Personally, I think Alan must have been high on whiskey when he wrote that song. Lmao. So the first verse of the song goes like this... "You can't mix angels and alcohol I don't think God meant for them to get along When it takes control, you can't love no one at all You can't mix angels and alcohol" Each time I hear that song, I just keep thinking about the line: *"I don't think God meant for them to get along"* Just like Angels and Alcohol (according to Alan)...there are things that just won't go along in this life no matter what. An example that comes to mind is "making money" and "making excuses" I always say you can't make money and make excuses. You have to pick one and be okay with it. So, which one are you choosing today? Angels or Alcohol? Making money or making excuses? Just one. And be okay with whatever comes out of that choice. *Have a great day!*
I needed this lol I mainly struggle with overthinking and social anxiety. Lately I have this thing where I can't lay flat on my back without feeling extremely dizzy which interferes with tests at the doctor where I have to lay flat. Also when I am laying not on my back I have random dizzy feelings that go away in a couple seconds. Idk what is going on maybe it's anxiety or maybe it's something else but it's really annoying and I want to get rid of it. Do you or anyone else in this comment section have any thoughts? Any would be appreciated.
Hi so this is a little rant I’m in 8th grade, 13-14 years old btw. So this past week whenever someone mentioned school or I thought about school, I wouldn’t realize but my heart rate got a lot quicker and I felt sort of sick to the stomach as If I wanted to pass out sort of. I’m not the best at describing how I feel especially physically so hope you understand what I’m saying. And today in school everyone in our class would go to the nurse one by one to check if our eyesight is good, our weight etc. and whenever I heard that news I started having the same thing where My body kept stressing out such as quick heart rate, stomach cramps and couldn’t breath slowly. I tried doing some breathing exercises even though I wasn’t stressed out in my mind and I’m never this panic-y when it comes to this stuff but I just couldn’t stop myself from everything my body was doing. I’m most certainly sure that it’s anxiety but I’m not sure how to help it and make it go away because my mind is the complete opposite where I feel fine, not sure why I wrote this comment but hopefully someone knows what could help me
Hmm, these things you can't just "make them go away". You are feeling these things for a reason, and you need to figure out what your body is trying to tell you about. You said it happens when school is mentioned, do you remember the first time you had this feeling in school? If you can remember ,maybe this will give you a place to start, to work through what and why you feel like this. Also, please know that "school" is a very little small part of your life, and soon all this will be in the past, you have a whole life ahead of you. While this is a great time for growing and learning about yourself as you grow into an adult, don't put so much pressure on having it all figured out right now, no one ever has it all figured out. All we can hope for is to be at peace with most of our decisions.
@@nancyneyedly4587 thank you so much! This really made me understand that everything’s ok and normal, I’m trying to learn a bit more about myself because this year I’m pretty lost even with my own emotions, thank you again! :)
I don't know if this will help but watching what you eat plays a role. Caffeine made me anxiety 1000 times worse than it already was. I didn't know I was caffeine sensitive until I completely cut it out of my diet. Even decaffeinated drinks do not work for me. It's not a cure for anxiety but it helps reduce a bit...
In school, we watched a video about natural highs , like exercising, or hobbies. Maybe you could make a video about natural highs? (Not like drugs, but the actual brain making you happy without drugs)
