Josh Dun's Anxiety 

I‘m grateful to have witnessed how both of them dealt with and overcame their personal struggles with their mental health, with Tyler’s journey being documented a little bit better through his lyrics. But for me, a milestone in Josh’s journey was when he gave little speeches during the shows of the Bandito tour, in non-English speaking countries even in the respective language of the country. That must have been so nerve-racking to do that in front of a whole crowd of native speakers. And it reminded me of when he would say in interviews that he chose the drums as an instrument in order to hide behind them and avoid talking on stage. Though he always said that in light and joking manner it was clear that there was some truth behind it. So I was very proud of him in that moment and still am of both of them. As someone who struggles with their mental health themselves I very much look up to them and to how far they’ve come both in their career and their battles with their mental health.

if you can't hear what its saying (the deep voice) (in order): don't go in the kitchen you know you shouldn't what are you looking for? your alone. stay with us stay here don't go don't go don't go back on stage.

THE DEEP VOICE OMLITS HIS BLURRYFACE IM SO HEARTBROKEN

I think sometimes were so focused on Tyler and Tyler's insecurities because he makes his a little more known and he's the lead singer and he writes all the blurry face songs and he gets more interview questions that sometimes people just forget about Josh's insecurities and anxiety because he's more own a closeted feelings type of person like he less talks about his problems and he doesn't really give them a name and face. and there's nothing wrong with Tyler putting his more out there, if anything it's better that he does that but yeah

This makes me want to cry but I can't stop laughing at "IT'S JOOOOOOSH" "JOOOOOOOSH" "This is trippy as fuck"

when everyone was like "WAIT WHAT" right at the end that was my reaction rn

As someone with anxiety, I really relate to Josh. He's been a hero to me since I found out about his anxiety, and how he still goes on stage almost every day. It really hurts me to see him onstage sometimes, because sometimes he has the beginnings of attack, and it breaks my heart. This video... wow. It's powerful.

I'm crying so much, he's such an inspiration to other people with anxiety, the fact that he has it and still goes on stage means so much to me

I just wanted to go over to Josh Dun and give him a hug.

DOES THIS MEAN THE NEXT ALBUM WILL REVOLVE AROUND JOSH'S BLURRYFACE? I DONT KNOW

"What?" "What?!" "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Tag yourself. I'm that last person.

this is so sad:( rips my heart to a million pieces. as a person who has to deal with severe anxiety everyday this just made me sad. to think that he still goes onstage almost everyday. what a goddamn hero. I love him so much.

Yeah so anxiety is Josh's Blurryface, that was Josh's Blurryface, isn't it?

This is so sad but the FRICKIN AUDIENCE "THAT'S JOOOOSHHH!!!" "This is trippy as fuck." "Wait what? whAT? WHAT?!"

This just ripped my heart into a million pieces I'm in tears.

when I first saw this video I couldn't understand what the men in the white masks were saying nor understand that this is a representation on Josh's anxiety. When I watched it again, I understood. He has anxiety. Josh has a blurryface too... And yet he still goes on stage every concert. Still smiles and interacts with the crowd, and the same with Tyler. I have major respect for Tyler and Josh, for coming out on stage every night, smiling and being happy. Not only that, but they have helped me too. I don't know where just would've been without their music.

0:51 "this is trippy as FUCK" 😂😂

I SAW THE SHOW AND DID NOT REALIZE WHAT IT MEANT OMG IM SO SAD NOW

I was always into tøp I just didn't get to know who they were as people. I spent the last like 6 hours watching a whole bunch of interviews of them and I feel like I know so much more and I care about them so much and to see this it just breaks my heart.

I'm actually fairly new to the clique. I discovered them through one of my friends about 6 months ago and I immediately hated them. It wasn't that i thought they weren't talented- in fact, I thought they were the most talent band I'd ever listened to. It was just that I related to the lyrics so much that I didn't like how vulnerable it made me feel. It felt like somebody was confronting me about my history with self harm, eating disorders, and my depression and anxiety. When I started listening to them again a few weeks later, I realized that the confrontation was actually helping me. I listened to more and more of their songs and eventually i was obsessed. I was always scrolling through fan accounts, reading fanfics, or watching videos or edits of them. I love being in the clique so much and I love these boys more than I can express. Thank you for accepting me. Stay Alive |-/

My poor joshua dun

GUYS IF YOU PITCH UP THE VOICE ITS FREAKIN TYLER OML

I didn't even realize when I watched it. I was just too busy looking at how beautiful Jish is to think about it holy cannoli

this kinda creeped me out....but its tøp its ok

THE PEOPLE IN MASKS WERE JOSHS ANXIETY IN PRETTY SURE,WHY AM I USING CAPS IDK

am i the only one who like burst into tears?

And look at him now, talking to us on stage all the time now. I'm so proud of him.

when I saw this live I freaked out

This really shows a very meaningful aspect of what it feels like to deal with anxiety. The audio just really helps the visual as well

i can like literally relate to this so much since I'm always afraid of doing anything basically if it's in front of other people, cept for me it may be my classmates and for it's thousands of people. I'm always shaking very hard when doing that kind of thing and it's the thing I hate most about school

who else got low key scared and got chills after seeing this video but also thought that smOL BEAN JOSH MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST MY SON DOES NOT DESERVE HIS ANXIETY TO GET TO HIM LIKE THAT UEFBNIFNV

emotional

I feel bad for Josh, but this video kind of scared me and the masks also wanted to make me laugh... I know Im a bad person. ByE

it's so sad but so relatable. these are the voices going through your head telling you it's worthless, there's no point, just stay in bed or in your house.

WE LOVE YOU JOSH! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! sorry if that was dramatic but my heart just broke so yeah

im pretty sure they played this at every show because it was in mine as well

Guys I'm shook... If you play it high-pitched, it sounds just like Tyler. TYLER IS JOSH'S BLURRYFACE

I really want their next album to focus on Josh's demons and how he fought them. I'd love that so much

As a person with Anxiety, I can understand what Josh is going through. Ever since I found out Josh had Anxiety he was someone I looked up to. Josh has always helped me to keep going

My heart sank when I read the title. My heart broke when I watched the video. *cries* emotional

Omg this was from my show I hear my self laughing ( I was laughing at the guy that said this is trippy af not at the video)

I've always been a really anxious person, and I've had anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember. And for Josh to go on stage, in front of thousands of people, ever single day need a lot of courage to do. Josh is so strong, and he is the reason I have faith that I won't have to live with anxiety for the rest of my life. I love hm and Tyler so much

Ever since I found out Josh had anxiety, and that Jim was a service dog, I looked up to him. My anxiety sometimes feels like this too, though instead of "don't go on stage" it's "don't get out of bed" or "don't go outside". It can get overwhelming and it makes me feel comforted knowing that others out there have anxiety too

0:42 he finally dried off

😢 Dunno why this made me tear up so much. Get up joshy boy💙

So we're getting a hint of what's coming next. That's SICK! 😂 I can relate to some of Tyler's demons like insecurities on almost anything I do (thankfully I haven't had to deal with the self-harm / suicidal thoughts part). However I definitely am more relatable to Josh's anxiety demon.

"This is trippy as fuck. THIS IS BADASS AS FUCK." Me.

i sWEAR TO MOTHER FUCKING GOD THAT I HEARD SOMEONE SAY "BAD ACTING" IN THE CROWD AND THAT GOT ME SO FUCKING MAD IT BROKE MY HEART IN A MILLION PEICES 😭😡

I absolutely loved this little clip when I saw it in concert. They have a gift when it comes to putting on a good show and adding sooo much meaning and personal struggles behind their work.

ugh at my concert people were screaming the entire time and i couldn't hear what blurryface was saying 😩

this is very inspiring to me. I have struggled with anxiety for a while and had one of the worst attacks ever. thank you Josh for inspiring me and many other people and the people who will eventually here of you.

I relate to this a lot since I have anxiety as well. I am so proud of him to go on stage and fight it. He is a huge inspiration to me and so many other people! Thank you Josh

why do people always say "what?" like u know

watching this hurts so much more live, i saw them in indianapolis during their ers tour. it was nuts, you wanna hug him. i wonder if this theme will be revisited more later on in their next album, they could definitely create a story and character that roots from josh's anxiety, just like how blurryface was tied to tyler's insecurities. whatever they decide to do will undoubtedly very personal and have strong emotions connected to it. love these boys with my whole soul, i hope they find joy and peace of mind. stay alive for them. they work too hard and put too many feelings into saving us to throw our lives away at this point. they remain vulnerable and humble for our sake. |-/

this literally ripped my heart out of my body and into a million pieces, the deep voice telling him not to go onstage was his blurryface and just knowing he deals with that every day but still goes on stage and plays his heart out every night makes me so proud of him omg he's a hero ❤️

This video made me cry. As someone who also struggles with anxiety daily this really represents how you can feel a lot of the time. This has made me respect and relate to Josh so much more than I realised I could and I'm so proud and happy that even with his anxiety he still decides to get on stage most every day and play his amazing little heart out. I hope that someday I can be like Josh and Tyler in that respect. |-/

as someone with awful anxiety, it helps me a hell ton to know that one of my inspirations is going through the same thing i am. i used to have 7 panic attacks a day and couldn't even go to school, but i got through it. i love this so much. also, at the 2/25/17 show , the josh's anxiety segment didn't have the voice in the background....does that mean josh defeated blurryface?

Ahhh I saw this video in Portland OR and there are some idiots making fun of him and the video but seriously, this was an emotional thing HENCE the tour title Emotional Roadshow. I respect Josh and Tyler both very much

This is so sad and amazing at the same time..A very clear presentation of anxiety..

honestly seeing this is heartbreaking. josh is such an inspiration to anyone and everyone who has anxiety but seeing that he still goes on stage speaks to me, saying even if you have anxiety or depression or anything, you can face it, but you dont have to do it alone. this is so amazing

When I saw this for the first time at the concert, I couldn't hear anything because we were all screaming and freaking out so I didn't get to fully understand the clip. But now that I know it was Josh fighting his anxiety, it makes me happy because he did come back on stage and he decided to continue. He did not give in to his anxiety and I aspire to be like him.

this looks more like hallucinations??? why yall saying it's anxiety?

This video always gets me on my feels. He's a hero. I admire him and support him, and hope that he has everything he deserves. Love you, Josh Dun.

seeing this for the first time live was breathtaking the instrumentals along with what i was seeing and the narrative is a vibe i'll never forget. i'll always love you, twenty one pilots.

Video: "Don't go back on stage" Crowd: "Wait whAT?" XD

god I feel bad for him but am I the only one who gets severe anxiety just watching the video?

tyler and josh are such inspirations. I suffer with anxiety too, and seeing this, if I was there, I would have put all of my electronic devices away and just watched. this is heart-wrenching.

and look at him now! he talks to us on stage all the time! making tweets with us and having fun. it makes me smile sm to see how far hes come

"Triply as fuck badass" Meeeeeeee Sammeeeeeeee

This tore me to shreds. I saw it live and almost cried. Ps was this in Nashville?

i sobbed when they played this vid at the concert, my friend had to comfort me lol What the video potrayed (anxiety obviously) hit too close to home and i just broke. Josh is someone i respect and admire so much. How he's able to play many concerts and be in many interviews for the clique, is just incredible. I just want to hug him

Today i had anxiety while i was in class because of teachers,homeworks and classmates and stuff like that and they seemed like those demons with the white mask were exactly what i was anxious about (i don't even know if this thing of mine can be related to this video about Josh's anxiety) but then i came home and scrolling down on my phone on YT,amongst so many other videos,i saw this. Josh gave me strength to keep going on with school because,after all,i am a really good student and i keep going to school and he's the best drummer ever and he keeps going on stage. He made me believe that,throughout all,it ain't worth skipping school and that for him he still has to go on stage for his fans and this can help so many people with any type of anxiety. I'm so happy right now that i can count on somebody like him.

MY HEART NO JISHWA IT'S OKAY WE LOVE YOU ♥

I was so heartbroken when I saw that at a concert, I was like "oh no my baby"

This is the kind of stuff I dealt with before shows I played in my old bands and still deal with to this day. I respect the hell out of this man for being vulnerable with his anxiety in such a profound way. He's not just telling you about it. He's showing you what it is. You're an inspiration Josh. You always will be.

This is honestly one of the reasons why I admire him the most. I was lucky enough to see this love and I was so confused by it but then I heard the don't go and I saw him walk out and I literally wanted to cry... Anxiety freaking sucks and I find it absolutely incredible that he overcomes this every single day. He pushes himself and doesn't let it stop him from doing what he loves the most. He really is an inspiration and definitely someone I truly admire. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time and I couldn't help but feel that not all hope is lost. It's something i can get through to. Twenty One Pilots have me the greatest night of my life when I truly needed it the most.

This makes me want to cry I don't get why people are cheering

if you watch the show this is right after Tyler's magic trick and he's probably running back to the stage.

I have anxiety and I relate to this so much! I understand what its like to always have that voice in the back of your head. This makes me love him even more because I know that he could understand me.

It breaks me into a million pieces to know that such wonderful people like Josh and Tyler have these thoughts. I'm glad to know I'll never be alone now, I have anxiety too. But this video made me cry so fucking hard because I care so much about Josh because he's such an amazing person, and I'm speechless now.

He learned to live with his anxiety

this is hurting my heart

They played this at the concert I went to. Rip my heart, he's such a great person. ThBk you for coming on stage for us, Josh. |-/

This video actually means a lot to me, as I also fight with anxiety and Josh is a huge inspiration to me and he's very important to me (sorry for my bad english)

that moment when you realize it was tylers voice....

This is so touching and heartbreaking ;-; I'm assuming that deep voice that was telling him "don't go, don't go onstage" was kind of like his Blurryface?

When I was at the concert, and this played, I proceeded to tear up. I deal with this too.. and knowing that Josh has the same thing I do and I think that it is impossible for me to do things, he's still able to do this. I could tell he was getting nervous during my concert, so I screamed "you got this Josh!" And he looked over at me and smiled. Anxiety is tough, but you need to make it be quiet and fight it. Because once you fight it, who knows what you could become. Do you think Josh thought he could be playing at a sold out arena 3-4 years ago? He is now. He did it, and so can you. So can I. He has inspired me so much. I love to sing and play the piano and ukulele, so I've been playing up in front of 100 people. Not much, but I'll get there. My point is, he did it. I did it. You can too.

I have always been aware of josh's anxiety. but this.. this just... absolutely ripped my heart into pieces. this is special. I understand this whole video and I love it a lot.

Oh wow...this makes a lot of sense. Josh is scared that he is going to screw up or that no one will like him and his demons are telling him that, but he knows it's not real

Guys....this sounds familiar...the lyrics of My Blood... Stay with me No You don't need to run

I'll never forget the way I felt the first time I saw this. This will forever be one of my favourite things in this world, so many emotions I adore it

i deal with anxiety almost every day. when anxiety hits me, everything feels so fast and so loud and so big and i feel so small. and he deals with it too, but still he goes on stage. he's my hero. everyone, you are not alone. please, stay alive. |-/

this makes me real sad....like my smol bean josh is suffering...too much i don't like that...i love my smol beans❤

"What do we say to anxiety when it bothers Josh?" "Um....Freaking Jerk!" "Yeah , that's right, freaking jerk" but seriously anxiety sucks.😕😋

As someone with severe anxiety, Josh is just a huge inspiration to me. It's so heartbreaking, because, sometimes, you can see him have the startings of an attack, yes he fights through it, but it's horrible. I have attacks in school, I mainly have social anxiety and I hate it because last year, there was this one teacher who, for some reason, hated me so much. I hate having to do school presentations, but I would always do them, if I was given some sort of notice, and my one condition was that I never went first or last. He didn't care, he would make surprise presentations (ones that he had made and we would have to present) and he would make me go first. It got to the point were I thought everyone was laughing at me, (it was all in my head, but it was so clear) and I screamed so loud, just yelling at the voices in my head because I didn't want to hear them anymore. My anxiety kicked in so bad that, I don't think I had the full attack, I just screamed and then passed out. So seeing that Josh is able to battle through this is motivation for me to tell myself that I can push past it all, even when I think I can't. I have so much to thank for Josh, even though I have never met him, he has helped me through so much. |-/

Having severe anxiety myself, I can't even imagine going on stage. I get anxious all the time for no reason. Josh has so much courage going up on stage just to make us happy. This guy is an amazing person and an inspiration

what the hell? the croud was so excited! and the video's so sad!

Okay, so did josh ever specifically say he has anxiety in an interview or something? I'm not doubting it, as it's clear he does. I just want to know where he talked about it. I like seeing what people who are important to me have to say about it because I struggle with anxiety as well. Thanks a ton and sorry that I'm not better at wording things.

I've had Anxiety for many years now. I had panic attacks that would totally debilitate me. There was a spell for a whole month that wouldn't let go and I had to quit my job. I couldn't leave the house even to go to the store. No Phun Intended helped. I received Concert tickets to see twenty one pilots and was excited to go, but also scared. I had a horrible attack the moment I walked through the gates. My anxiety stems from not wanting to get sick in public so a plane, theater, meeting, or concert where I have to be in one place and can't get away or if I leave, I will miss something, my anxiety kicks in. I wanted to see that concert so badly, I said "screw you, you will not take this away from me!" I went and stayed the whole concert. I had an attack the whole time, but I stayed and enjoyed the concert! And it was absolutely worth it! I've been to many concerts and twenty one pilots puts on the best show ever! Not just the show, but the whole vibe of the place just covers you with a blanket of peace and hope. This video played and I cried during the whole thing. Josh absolutely knew what I felt. The voice that told me to not walk into the venue. To leave. That I was going to get sick if I stayed. Or all of the other stupid lies your blurry will tell you. Josh went on stage and I stayed at the concert. That was my last bad attack.. I had a small one the next day when we took a 15 hour car ride for q family reunion but I said "not anymore." You can defeat your blurry as well! Find what helps. Mine happened to be water, Jolly Ranchers, gum, and God. Everyone is different, but those helped me. Months of working on it and I can happily say I have not had a full blown attack in 5 years. I get moments of anxiety from time to time, but not full blown attacks. You've got this! You are strong and blurry doesn't have to control you!

I have so much respect for him.I have to deal with anxiety each day so I know the struggles yet he still goes on stage.Hang in there Jishwa.
