My anxiety not only affected the relationship but the relationship also caused my anxiety to be more intense so after breaking up I felt somewhat better, I still have a lot to discover about myself and put work in to fix those issues the best I can. I hope whoever reads this you can overcome anxiety for yourself and for your loved one, take care of yourselves. 🤙
I can definitely empathize. I didn't used to be an anxious person in relationships, but the relationships fostered this in me. Their avoidance scared me. "Are they still interested? Is there someone else?" When they don't answer their phone for months while I'm just trying to make sure they survived the natural disaster that passed by their area, how would I be expected to NOT become anxious? And my next relationship had the exact same thing happen, but even worse. Anxiety + Avoidance = A nightmare.
Same. A relationship caused me anxiety. I thought we were closed friends. I was anxious all the time and asking if I did anything wrong since I felt we have a falling out, but he said no. His body language and communication said otherwise. I feel like I was only his friend because of my usefulness. NO reciprocity at all. It was only one-sided 🥲
Keep your head up, you’re not alone with this. The most important step is to recognize the problem and having the will and motivation to solve it. You can do it! 🧡
@@EinskleinesPuni I know your comment is over a year old, but I just wanted to let you know that you helped me a little today ☺ I've started dating someone about three months ago and the anxiety is killing... That's why I looked for these kinds of videos and read the comments for advice. I've written down what you said and hung it on the wall next to my desk ~ so thank you 💚
I have anxiety disorder and I know how it feels. I avoid talking with people as much as I can. I don't do meetings with my clients much, I basically text them. I always used to feel that people I love will leave me. I used to think my partner will cheat on me or just break my heart just like other people. Luckily, he is very patient and understanding. He slowly tried to talk me through. His warm attitude toward me has encouraged me to slowly take steps and take control in life. Whenever I panic or worry, it's him I call or text and he will help me calm down. Sometimes, I do feel like I am wearing him down so I try to hold back. It's not easy to live with an anxious person tbh.
My boyfriend is suffering with anxiety and he’s started to avoid me, and it’s really hard as I’m not sure what I can do 🥺 I’m trying to give space but at the same time I’m scared that he’ll just never talk to me again (so making me anxious). He is seeing a therapist now which is great and I’m super proud of him for taking that step 😊
Your boyfriend is a brave guy. I hope you support him and that he gets well and gives you the best version of himself. I am in a similar position and I want nothing more than to be good again
@@robingeorge7151 thank you! Yes I support him everyday as well as I can he’s started to do a lot better recently and we are talking everyday. He’s just not at a point where he can see me yet as the social anxiety is really bad for him but I’m sticking around as I love him so much and he’s been there for me with my mental health too. 💚💚 he’s so kind and deserves so much love x
For the past 3 months of my relationship, I've always been in this loop of running away from him, or wanting to always talk with him. It's because I don't want to seem like I'm dependent on him so I run away. But then I miss him too much, so I run right back. It's been making me very anxious and he's realized what I was doing and reccommended that we should go on a break. Honestly, it's been working! With our relationship to the side, I don't have to worry! I still love him, and he still loves me- but with his reassurance, I've been able to get my thoughts straight and the things that I need done, done. :) I might update this soon, but if someone out there has a similar situation to mine, just know that you got this!😊
I'm experiencing the same thing, we are on a break right now and haven't talked for 3 days... I'm trying to work on myself but I don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestions?
Never has a psych2go video made me cry as much as this. This literally came at divine time. Thanks for giving a voice to those of us who are struggling. 💛
Watching this video actually made me find out how deep my anxiety actually is. It's like my first time dating and I keep on overthinking everything. Like how they won't love me sooner or later, or how I love them more. knowing that I'm not the only one really helped. So, thank you for that.
My husband just asked for divorce, and this was the first video I saw when opening RU-vid, and guess what? This is exactly what happened in my relationship. Thank you for showing me where my anxiety I got in the way ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that... I agree with the person above. Anxiety is not easy to live with but maybe there is a way that you both can work through this. If therapy is an option for you , I would highly suggest trying both individual and couples. I sincerely hope that everything works out for the best for you both 😊💛
I related with this feeling-I suffer anxiety myself and I do feel like it does get in the way of daily life cuz I'm constantly worried or anxious about something, worried what others say about me and worried my worries or feelings don't matter to someone else or that they won't understand what I'm going through, etc.- I'm glad stuff like this Is being addressed for those who are also suffering from anxiety- it helps to know I'm not alone even when I do feel like I am.
If you're watching this video and feeling like you're at the end of your rope, please know that you're not alone. It's okay to reach out for help, whether that's through therapy, medication, or just talking to a friend. It can be a long and difficult journey, but there is hope and healing on the other side. Thank you to the creator for sharing their story and shedding light on this important topic.
This is such an important video highlighting the importance of discussing mental health and overcoming the stigma associated with depression and anxiety. For those who may be struggling, it's essential to know that there are resources and support available. You may want to check out @Dr.healingstrain, a mycologist who uses mushrooms to help people overcome depression and anxiety. They provide valuable information and support for those dealing with mental health challenges, and their work is worth exploring.
I've never heard of Dr.healingstrain before, but their approach to treating anxiety and depression with mushrooms is intriguing. I'm definitely going to check out their products and see if they can help me.
Dr.healingstrain's work is so important, especially given the current state of mental health care in this country. I'm glad to see someone taking a holistic approach to treating these issues.
Dr.healingstrain is one of the most innovative mycologists out there. Their work with psilocybin is truly inspiring, and I'm excited to see what they do next.
My anxiety is making me overthink things a LOT, and I just feel really overwhelmed all of the time. I don’t know how to talk to or approach my partner with my issues, so this video helped a bunch! 😅❤ (Also I really like the videos you make! It really helps me re-adjust my life and recognize my problems!! ❤❤)
You have no idea how much I needed this, I had never cried during one of your videos but this is exactly what I'm going through, thank you so much for your work. ❤
I feel I'm overly dependant, it's been some time since I've been on a relationship, but everything in this video speaks to me in a deeper level than usual. I've made some improvements ever since I first noticed how co-dependant I was, and I encourage anyone reading to seek help, it is a hard and long road ahead, but you are not alone, and you can do this.
A traumatizing confrontation with my parents caused me to have extreme anxiety whenever I talk with them. It makes it hard for me to feel comfortable with them because of how awkward the confrontation was. Honestly, anxiety sucks. I just don't know how to get rid of it w/o my parents knowing I have these problems because I don't want them to think I'm crazy.
@@vividannt i understand your feelings , it is hard , but i want you to know that others people thoughts, anger , and ignorance has nothing to do with you, your anxiety is just your brain trying to protect you , and it is natural, accept and understand your thoughts , dont push them away, you are there for yourself, appriticate yourself, you know why you feel this way, you are your best friend, so resepct and love yourself , embrace yourself like it, it is hard espcially in a stressful situation or when it is important , remember that you are amazing, and strong and you can and will get to express and be your true self, dont beat yourself up about it, i know that you CAN do it AND WILL achive peace, what you passionate about, who you are and what you do, what you want , how u see this world is up to you, trust yourself you have the power to change .you will find happiness within yourself believe me. im so proud of you and know that awarness is half of the way. even tho we dont know each other personally, i care about you so much and have faith in you. sending so much love . we are on this journey together, you are not alone❤️

I want to thank everyone who stands behind production of this videos. In this case specifically the animator. Lately sometimes I can barely focus on the content, because animations are so relatable and funny. Thank you!
I cried. I asked to breakup because I was too afraid of being a burden. I was too afraid to open up even though he always asked me what was going on and encouraged me to speak up. I wish I can open up slowly, then we may get back together and have a better relationship.
Dealing with people when you are suffering anxiety issues can be really frustrating. It can even add more to your anxiety, and this is something many people can relate to. I think it is best to seek help first before you go into a relationship if you have anxiety.
i feel so heard watching this video, i literally bursted into tears because this video basically explained every thought i have weighing on me, especially since im in a relationship now :,) i really wanna send this to my partner in hopes of them understanding, but idk how i can.
“Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” - Arthur Somers Roche
i started crying [02:29] during the downward-spiraling questions and just seeing the animations… i felt like it was a perfect visualization to the exact same thing(s) that i’m currently going through, right now. i was diagnosed with GAD about a year ago, and honestly didn’t think too much of it until i watched this video. thank you @psych2go for helping me open my eyes and giving me more insight. i’ve been reminded that my anxiety is very real and imperative to manage it/work with the symptoms, in order to heal + grow into the better person i want to become. i’m glad i clicked on this, and will be happy to come back whenever i need it :) best of luck to anyone else going through something very similar! i believe in you, too
I am not sure if it is anxiety, but the more I try to learn about myself, the more experiences I share with other people from all backgrounds and temper, I feel it is not. I often felt anxious at work, because I wanted to be perfect, and make no mistakes, fearing rejection and bad consequences. But it was because I had to "dive" straight to this work, with little to no experience from school and past experiences. I have been working for years now, and I feel more and more confident. The best proof is from words or signs of respect from people I work with, who are my bosses, or that I am responsible of. It took me a lot of time to be sure if I would be able to handle love and caring for others, due to childhood traumas and bad experiences through teenage years. When I finally met "the" girl, and when I had to take care of a baby the parents gave to my for a while, I knew all that feelings had always been inside of me. It 's not that I'm unable, it's just I had no occasion to express them, and I'm still a little clumsy with love and feelings. I'm always disapointed by people, the way they behave, and where society is going. This is due to my education, when I was taught to be kind, resilient, autonomous, loyal and protective towards family and friends. This is mostly due to familial traumas, because the men had the bad habit to die young, and stupidly, leting the wives, mothers and sisters alone, having to live with their absence (a good résumé of that would be the dialog beetwen Grant and Viviane, in the novel "A lesson before dying", everytime a baby boy is born, the mothers hope he will not make the same mistakes, and not make them crying in pain and sadness.). I also had a preference for classical kind of stories, with heroes, and adventures, and love, and great events, so modern times, and modern people annoy me and I feel sad to see what we have become, as humans, comparing to what we were, and had, centuries ago. Once I met the right people, and spent time with them, I realized something was still possible in this world, and I had found my "family." The more I try to fight my "anxiety", the more I realise I can beat it, so in the end, I think I'm not anxious, it's not I haven't find the right way to live according to my values and expectations.
Heyy, I know your comment is over a year old, but one part of it resonated so much with me that I had to reply 😇 the part about constantly feeling disappointed by other people and society as a whole.. I also really struggle with this. ~ The thing that helps me is noticing the little things that _do_ go well. Whenever I see other people being kind or helpful to others, even strangers, it lifts my heart. I always have the tendency to help out and be kind to others, and do things like give random compliments to strangers whenever I like their hair or outfit or something. You never know how much you could make their day 🤗 and if you'll allow me to quote a wise wizard: _"I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."_ 💚
Sheesh! That one hit hard. In my case, after a year of treatment on my own, I've discovered she also has anxiety simptoms. So all the stuff we feel and hide from one another gets compound in a big messy ball of fear, doubt and isolaation. I honestly don't know how to begin disentagling it.
I’m suffering from both of anxiety and depression, caused by family and past relationship and past work pressure. I can relate 100% to the video, and I’m trying hard to work on myself. Sometimes things are easy sometimes not. I am also seeing a therapist. So thank you @Psych2Go ❤
i feel so identified by this video. i feel anxious and have excessive worries every day. my last relationship fell through because of my anxiety, and at this point i refuse to socialize because of it. it feels so disappointing that no one can understand and help me. it feels like being stuck in a bottle, which i guess is my destiny now.
I struggle with anxiety as well, not only in school or life but also to my relationship with my girlfriend. I'm in a Long Distance Relationship with her; she's from UK and I'm from Philippines. I often get anxious and sometimes paranoid that my girlfriend doesn't love me or that she's cheating on me, etc. I know that she genuinely loves me but my thoughts make me think that she doesn't love me. So, for this coming week on Thrusday and Friday, I'm consulting for a psychiatrist and maybe get medications for my anxiety
By making your mental health and personal growth a priority, you will heal much faster. I understand that this can be hard to do, especially if you have little ones to look after. However, if you do have little ones to look after, it’s even more crucial that you take care of yourself first. This is so you are fully able to take care of others. 💙RU-vidr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
Well, I was overthinking of something and scared things are going to happen and afraid people aren’t going to like me, and also I done something wrong when I was out of control, and an accident happened and I know my parents know my feelings, and friends and we helped each-other and my little brother, and we’ve all loved everyone and all. I was only afraid most people spread rumors of me that isn’t true, I may have kind of had Low self-esteem, and anger. Hope everyone had their time well, and trust me we can make it! We maybe rude or something else but we can be strong from it, and change and express ourselves and our feelings. And we may smile, and hug and we can Always love each other! 🇰🇭🙏💙💗🦔🇺🇸👍🏻
This is exactly how I've been feeling. I relate to EVERYTHING in this video. I think I got emotional trauma from a past relationship and now I'm struggling a lot. Its physically hurting me. Its hurting me to be alive at this point. I feel like the pain just won't stop. It's like an itching under my skin that I can't get rid of. I prayed for new relationships and connections, but now that those things are in front of me, I have the heavy feeling in my stomach that Im ruining it and theres nothing I can do to stop it. I would avoid them and try not to seem desparate, but at the same time I crave to have connection. I end up isolating myself because I just feel like perhaps I'm just insignificant in their lives. Perhaps there are ppl in their lives that they care about more. Its just hurting me real bad. Its like a shadow that follows me around. I go to bed with a heavy chest hoping my sleep will relieve it. Then I wake up, and the feeling is still there. Its exhausting and I'm suffering so bad. It genuinely feels like I'm being eaten alive. How can I stop this pain.?
This really hit close to home. This is me, and after all these years.. i was diagnosed at 24years old. I relate being really dependent upon my partner. I feel the need to see him everyday or just to be physically close to him. And also thinking about the worst case scenarios in our relationship. But i also relate on the avoidant type, because i push him away and just be gloomy all day but not telling him about what’s wrong in my life. I wanna change for the better.. sometimes i think that this anxiety ruins a lot of things for me.
i’m getting closer to this guy and we started getting intimate but when i get home, i get nauseous and can’t breath properly for the next 2 days. the thing is, i do like him and i’m extremely comfortable with him. i don’t know what i’m afraid of. it messes with my sleep and i’m so worried that it’s gonna make me not enjoy this special thing with him because of my anxiety. as i watched this, i cried coz of how much i resonate.
I really relate to what I'm going through right now because tried ending my friendship with my crush yesterday but I realized that's not what I truly want
Heavily related to this entire video.. Just got through a breakup caused by my anxiety and depression. Worst experience I’ve been having to deal with in a very long time.
It's a good point, I've spent so much time trying to work out one part of my diagnosis with my therapist, that I probably ignore bringing up GAD the second part, the one that honestly probably leaves me far more miserable than the first part.
I love how this video potraited the battle with anxiety from the prospective of the partner. It shows that is not only the person struggling with anxiety that fights but even the partner that truly care for that person and wants to help is battling too. This means that if you're fighting with anxiety don't think that you're alone, know that your closest one (family/friend/partner) is fighting by your side and will always fight with you the monster called Anxiety ❤
I watched this video because I recently learned I have high end anxiety. I’ve been in a relationship for a bit over a year now but for the last couple months I was overthinking every small flaw in my partner, questioning my relationship and wondering if I’m the kind of person he deserves or not. I felt down or depressed a lot because of that overthinking. I finally was able to push through, but they still pop up every once in awhile and I worry that it could cause me to overthink again. I get so anxious every time I don’t get a response text, and I try to be reasonable with my anxiety that it’s fine but it just hurts. I’m trying my best to calm my irrational fears down, but it’s really difficult. (My partner treats me really well and tells me often how much he loves me so there really shouldn’t be a reason I consider breaking things off or feel that things aren’t as they seem. I’m talking to a therapist to try to deal with my anxiety but I know it won’t completely solve how anxious I get)
this made everything so clear in my life. i kept thinking i was broken because i became very clingy to my friend, and i would overthink everything. thank you❤
I have anxiety, and i am trying my best to be a good example for my lovely partener and friends. I love em soo much, trying my best yo not make em' try resolve my axiety, and making em' feeling anoyed
Ouch! The accuracy of this hurts so bad. My anxiety is so bad about relationships that I do both the dependent thing AND the aviodant thing. If I'm avoiding, the worry of hurting them or making them like me less because I'm avoiding telling them anything piles on top of all the other worries. If I'm being too dependent on them, the worry that they'll hate me because I'm not giving them enough room or something piles on top of the other worries. If I'm being honest, I'm not even in a romantic relationship, but because of my anxiety I have immense fear of getting in one or think I don't deserve one, despite whatever I want. Sometimes it's the anxiety itself, other times it's the fears the anxiety conjures up that makes me fear relationships. And the relationship anxieties mentioned in this video are 100% absolutely accurate PLUS more, so it really sucks
2:36-2:48 i had all of those word for word, if anyone is having these problems in relationships and you have tried counseling/therapy or have been in it and its not working, ill just say what i feel has "cracked my shell." so first i would suggest meditation(medito the mobile app is great) and take a lot of time like a few weeks at least and dont let yourself get distracted with tiktok or instagram or netflix and try to sit with yourself and do the scary thing and just let your mind worry about the things you get anxious about then catch yourself and ask "have i seen or heard this, is this fact" or "should i talk about this with someone." doing those things have helped so i dont spiral into a breakdown and i hope it helps you,good day/night to you. you as in whoever is reading..btw
god damn it I shouldn't be relating to all of your videos about mental illnesses 😢I cried my eyes out yesterday because of a breakup that I myself have been fully responsible of.
Over the past four years by now, I have been constantly straining the relationship I have with a friend to the point that we're not really friends anymore. I constantly overthink and try to be as despicable because I just don't want them to deal with my problems. Anything happens, and I immediately try to pin the blame on myself no matter if it was barely a problem. This same friend was someone who I have a crush on, and I really did want to tell them even more how much I'd like to be with them, but instead I chose to look at someone else she's very close to and convince myself that she has no interest in me. When we had a conversation on this, it turned into a shouting match, and ended in her telling me to take a break from her for at least a week. I'm going to focus more on the rest of this month though, just to hopefully let time heal a bit more. It's also this week (at the time I'm writing this) that I'll finally be able to receive some mental health, most likely anti-depressants. However, my heart still feels torn over what I did to myself and my friend.
Seems like I have some kind of anxiety. I definitely had huge anxiety in the past. I thought that maybe I solved it. After watching the video it looks like even though I made a huge progress, in some ways anxiety is still deeply rooted in me. I got better at dealing with symptoms, but anxiety itself is still present. This video shed a light on how anxiety may affect my life
Wow, I wont make it to the premiere sadly since it is premering at 1 am for me, but it is nice to know that you are doing something anxiety related, I actually want to learn about psychological effects revolving around anxiety, so if physh2go can make a video about that, it will be quite nice.
The art is so expressive, and it really makes me feel for the drawings on the screen. It makes me feel sad, this isn't even a story, but I do want everyone here watching to have a happy ending.
Man this video is too relatable. I think this video kind of checked all the checkboxes for my anxiety especially since my anxiety is fear of losing people in general. Like they don't have to die just for me to lose them like even just the moving away makes me having anxiety cuz that means loss of friendship. And I do have a feeling I haven't been in a relationship because my anxiety makes me question all the thoughts of if I'm not good enough for them. But this video was very helpful I love this channel very much. And I'll keep on improving on myself everyday when I have the courage to thank you guys so much for always giving me tips and information. Sorry that this is super long.
Honesty these videos gives me a smile on my face and I even started to get so happy when I see this shit I don't really know why but I don't know I was still watch it every day
This pretty much hits the nail on the head. Constantly over thinking and even with friends I keep a distance. Or I try to get out of my comfort zone to spend time with potential new friends and overall don't feel anything but out of place. It sucks but at the same time I don't really mind it?
My anxiety is making loose my lover and changing him in a way like he could be a puppet. This video is something I relate to a lot and I do need help I just don’t how I could. I wanna see a therapist, I wanna open up to my boyfriend but I’m just to scared to do so. How can I do better and for not only me but for my boyfriend? 3:53
I’m currently in a relationship where I feel so anxious that I don’t love him anymore or am attracted to him. I’ve convinced myself he is not the one, I don’t love him and I don’t want to be with him anymore. But I don’t know where it’s come from. A week ago we were so happy and so felt so happy and in love and suddenly I can’t stop obsessing over not loving him or being attracted. I have suffered with anxiety and depression for a very long time and at the moment feel very depressed and think these thoughts relate hugely to this emotion but it still doesn’t make it any easier. I feel like I am lying, the guilt is horrendous and I can’t seem to shake the feeling. Some days it is better than others but other days it is so rough, I feel claustrophobic and trapped. We have just moved to a new tone where we don’t know anyone and being winter we are together all the time, I feel consumed by these thoughts and cannot seem to let them go. It’s intolerable and I feel sick to my stomach. I have been reading up loads on this and it’s comforting to know that other people have felt this before which is a relief but it doesn’t change that I feel this personally. I can’t stop feeling so scared things have changed and I’ve just suddenly stopped loving him…how on earth can that be real?
I have felt what you have felt and the sense of guilt is real. You’re valid in feeling that way, it doesn’t make sense, it just suddenly and abruptly comes on and you’re left thinking “what the actual f*ck just happened? I was just fine a few days ago.” Yes, it’s screwed up.
This almost made me cry, I have most of the symptoms said apart from expecting friends to message me back so quickly, what if they are cheating on me, being controlling and avoiding certain friends and activities. I have GAD and some days are easier for me to cope than others.
im not diagnosed with anxiety disorder, but I do feel anxious often times and this is exactly how I feel when im around my partner, scared they might leave me
Yeah. I pretended to break up with my anxious partner because he kept telling me he kinda feels this relationship is baggage and feels pressurized to make choices between career and me after many discussions over n over. In order to relieve him from getting a burden, I left him so that he can get into the proper position to choose things once he is all fine. But things turned otherwise, he took the breakup literally and moved on. I'm here feeling guilty about why I took that step in the first place. Then I realised that the relationship was overwhelming for me too. I had a bad state of well being where it was not possible for me to make better decisions (I had become anxious too and I figured out I was avoidant at some point). Well now it's somewhat better, we both moved on and are in a better place. Relationships can be beautiful and frustrating. It definitely takes two to work on.
