What Having Anxiety Feels Like 

Gen Moi like a false warning for a tornado or something?

Gen Moi I’m late on this lol. That’s exactly what it feels like for me. I’ll start panicking over things that are months or even years away. No matter how much time I have to prepare myself for something, or how insignificant/significant the situation could be, my thoughts swarm in my head and I can’t control them. It’s like a sudden fear that grips at your whole body; your heart rate going so loud that you can’t hear over it. Your senses on alert. Numbness in certain parts of the body could happen; for me it being my tongue goes numb and dry. You feel like you’re almost choking when you speak so you end up stuttering like a madman. Your whole body just instantly tenses up to the point where it can be almost painful. Your hands and feet may start to tingle and sweat like hell. You feel like everyone in the room is focusing on you even when that’s not the case. Or like you’re doing something entirely wrong/ different than everyone else and being judged negatively for it, even when that’s also not the case. Unfortunately, this is something that can’t be controlled.

@@ecruz3340 my situation right now

Yes! I remember I had really bad anxiety before I was diagnosed, me and my family were in a dark alley way and I just thought that someone would drive by and shoot them. So many thoughts played in my head “what are you gonna do when they’re gone?” “Will you live with your aunt?” “How are you gonna protect yourself so that you dont get shot?” “You’re in a different part of the world, how will you communicate to the police?” To the point where I curled up on the bottom of the car to avoid getting hit by the bullet and started crying. It was so awful, and while my family members were just in the front seat, neither of them knew what happened to me that day. I think the worst part about it all is obviously that it never happened.

kai kai or just talks.

Yup or anyone talking behind you or any whispers

I have that :(

kai kai I can totally relate even if they probably aren’t laughing at me I still feel self conscious and awkward in case they are

Omg that's so bad I have it everyday I hate it so much

I feel you bro! Dont overthink always, im on your side. We have the same anxiety

Same

@@chowisdogz thank you so much for spreading kindness love!! Im proud of you!! We need more ppl like u in this world!!! Stay happy and blessed. And, people like you restore faith in humanity. 🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏💪💪🤗❤️🙏🌹

@Clarissa im so sorry for the paim u r going through my love. So firstly, its okay not to be okay my love, we all are perfectly flawed humans that WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. So plsssssssss dont be tooooooo hard on urself. Why r u mad at urself? Is it, by any chance, ur mistake? My love its okay, u r not alone. We all are here for u, tho we cant feel the intensity of ur anxiety but we can try our best to help you. Ohhhh that hits hard... But u know what? Im crazy in that state and its okay. I scream, i dance and sing in the shower, i drink water, i talk to myself loudly and try to lecture myself to understand my feelings amd stop these feels, i play games and play music on speakers. Sometimes i even tackle it by just sitting and taking deep breathe and feeling my heart beating fast. I just get busy in something loud and something that makes me feel like i matter and that i exist im not dead or invisible that how it feels right? I go in front of birds and any living thing and when they see me and fly or something i try to make myself understand that, see u exist they can see u. U matter, u r important and that they can see u. I know its hard love. But only heroes like u can deal it and still be here till this day. Remember only the ones fighting get tired and not the ones who have already given up. Im proud of you hero!! Stay strong!! More power to you! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏💪👍🤗 And yes my love, U DO NOT BURDEN ANYONE. Whoever talks to u about it is fated to meet u and its ur fate that is trying to help you. U r a human amd u need to vent ur emotions. Its just those toxic people who dont want to listen to anything. Trust me my luv, ive been talking to someone since a month already and i dont mind at all. Feel free to text me anytime you feel that way. Pls dont hesitate. Im not like school teachers. 😜

me too:(

Same! Your not alone!

Do u feel like hot

Omg, u described me

Same here

I tried telling my mom about this, because this is how I am. She said they are just feelings, or I don’t drink enough water, or telling me what “real” anxiety is. Usually she’s kind and supportive, so this really shocked me. Should I send her this?

Yes2

Yes.

Literally even by the way I walk. I feel like I’m being judged even though I know I’m not

jessica junco same, it’s the worst feeling.

And no one care about us

Muskan Amjad ikr..

people with anxiety would

My sister had anxiety attacks and faints it’s so scary I have anxiety but not as bad as hers

Mistr_SBT same

It’s hard when your the only friend in a group who has the mental problems and everyone else doesn’t understand them

ikr, only i do to help me feeling anxious is playing royale high lmao

It feels like I'm being attacked, and you want to defend yourself but no one is actually harming me. But it feels like I'm being stabbed over and over again in my brain and you just want it to stop, so I start thinking of how to defend myself how to make it stop, meanwhile my brain is still being attacked, feels like I'm drowning but I'm on land. Feels like I'm already dead, or on the verge of death, that it's already to late for me. Like I have fallen down a well and I know I'm not coming back out, just I haven't hit bottom yet. That no matter what I do it's to late. My mind races a million miles in every direction meanwhile I know my body is standing still, stuck frozen in time.

@@mikansings5790 Reduce negative thoughts with a strong desire to transform from within. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life.

Feel like trapped but I was too weak to escape

This is legit exactly how i feel. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

U just described me the in the best way...I feel u..ur not alone! 😔

You just described me

I think you might have depression

This is exactly how I feel...

Josee La Marche seriously... they will never understand the mental hell we go through every single day and we look like a calm painting of a village but if you go inside that painting it goes into motion with the village being engulfed by flames and a tornado and tsunami is rushing through it... that’s the best i can explain when i get a panic attack

Uhhgggg yes. It’s so annoying to hear ppl say that they hv an anxiety disorder when they don’t. They obviously don’t know what it feels to hv anxiety disorder

OMG FACTTTTSSSS 💀💀💀💀. They say everyone has it like nooooo they don’t.

I really hate if healthy mind people think about anxiety attack as weakness. Wow can u endure from that?

Same thing with, “iVe bEeN sAd oNcE, I hAvE dEprEsSiOn!” Or, “B.I.P. sOuNds cOol!” I’m just sick of it, real people have it it’s not something for other people to want. It’s horrible.

Grunged Weirdo aww, I hope you can figure it all out some day. I’m not an expert so I can’t really give you much advice apart from support! You can do this, even if you can’t get rid of it forever, it’ll get better. :)

Grunged Weirdo Same bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Same

I'm so sorry, ik exactly how u feel. I leave my house now but not too often and when I do I usually have to be with someone and before I didn't leave my house for 5 yrs

I misssd out on sooo many cool things with friends because of it then i feel bad because i didn't go

Yes brother

Yes I'm😢

We’re all in this together. I haven’t been able to go to work. I had my first visit with my doctor yesterday, she put me on a SSRI and gave me a benzodiazepine for emergency (anxiety). I started the SSRI at 12PM, I took a nap and heard weird loud voices in my sleep, I have never heard loud voices in my head like that. I woke up got ready for work, I was driving and had a panic attack. I’m fuckin over this shit!!!!!!!!

I’m literally about to move out my girl house sometimes I just want to be alone I swear I hate this shit 🤬🥲

I feel for all of you. I’m in the same boat, but thankfully I found a good therapist. She’s been helpful. I still have panic attacks and anxiety most days, but it’s slowly getting better.

I always think I’m dying or gonna lose my mind

I get scared of people judging me. Also I get scared of getting embarrassed and people are gonna laugh at me or dislike me, idk if it’s anxiety tho

ιιѕυииу flχωєяѕ its not anxiety

School fucked up my childhood

My parents and school messed everything up for me. If I only had a normal family who loved me, actually supported me, TALKED TO ME! I think me and anxiety would have never crossed paths. I wake up every single day with what I can only describe as a rock on my chest.

my mom said going to school HELPS my anxiety. i wish i wasn’t so anxious so i could express my feelings

Jake From State Farm I know right🥺

I agree and school really doesn't help at all in my opinion.We have to go to gym and we're forced to play sports and most of the time it's kickball.Everyone just says I'm being lazy or not trying,but I'm just scared to fail and be judged.Then I'll cry and embarrass my self and I do a cry a bit,but I make sure to make it my goal to try and keep in my tears or go in the bathroom and cry silently.I REALLY hate all my classmates except two because they just never understand why I act the way I do.They even asked me if I was gay since I never had a boyfriend before.I said no and I don't even know them well so them asking that was just inappropriate.

Thank You For This, I Understand It Better :)

So true i hate feeling like this its scary

dont forget the moment when tears randomly start coming down your eyes

It so scary

That's me.

SAMME

ye me to does xanax help

ye social anxiety, I used to have it bad

twenty one pirates Praying to God and Jesus Christ helped me a lot with my anxiety. One day I prayed to God and told him how I was feeling and now I can actually see him working on me. I was feeling very anxious and depressed and ever since I put my faith and trust in God he has been healing me. I'm not joking. Praying to God can truly help. People seem to forget this but we are spiritual beings at the end of the day. When we are feeling negative things like anxiety, depression, insecurity, loneliness, etc. it is because our soul needs help and improvement and the only way to get that is to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you don't believe in God, just pray to God, he loves everyone he will show you signs that he is in fact real. You just have to put your trust in him and he can help you.

welcome to my fucken world

Oh hell yeah you're right I've been struggling in social anxiety for almost a year.. it's a sh*tty feeling.. i always don't know what to say when someone talks to me and i can't even look at them in the eye ...

so true.

Dude I know all to well..... I haven't left the house in over 6 or 7 months. My moms dragging me out tomorrow so wish me luck...

Azar Abbas I feel it

This is the one.

This is exactly how I felt my whole life. I used to think that everybody lived that way, that this was the regular setting for a human being, I didn't know this was anxiety, let alone what anxiety was. I thought I was abnormal for feeling the way I felt, that I was weak, I hated to feel this way, I always wondered how other people could deal with the stress, the sweaty palms, the awkwardness, the stomach ache...but I was alone in that hell. Nobody could get me or my reactions to certain settings. I felt so out of place and lonely in my madness. I still do and I still hide my anxiety, to everybody else I'm that moody but otherwise normal girl but underneath that I'm still feeling like I am in danger, I still grit my teeth and contract my muscles so I don t fidget out of anxiousness. It's tiresome. And I come off as crazy.

@@lydiaaoudia8263This is exactly what i have been feeling. Its so anoying that some people can live normal and we have to deal with this.

that explains it PERFECTLY

social anxiety ruined my life.

I have social and general anxiety and I have almost had anxiety attacks in public places before because of all of the social interaction.

Toya Malak and they are like, “no u don’t feel like that, stop overreacting” I mean dear parent do u even know know I feel? What’s this society do to us ? School Is not easy al the time, I’m not happy al the time, my friends ain’t happy al the time. Ugh sorry for bad english

Toya Malak yeah it’s annoying for me

Yep... :(

spel.fixa6 6 ikr 😕😐

XxGacha_Toxic_FlowerxX oof

Gosh i couldn't relate more

What is this yeetery ? If you can HEAR Peoples thoughts of you. Can you literally HEAR their thoughts. Or are you guessing or thinking or perceiving what they might be thinking? If you can see a Psychiatrist this may help. Sometimes Schizophrenia can cause some people to HEAR Voices. It is a Chemical Imbalance in the Brain at times. Or maybe just Anxiety. Ask the Psychiatrist. They have Medication that can Stop this. Hope you feel better.

That's the worst part for me, I'm my school the boys are really sexist and bully the girls. I hear them talk about a specific girl. think about what they say about me. I'm even sometimes afraid of these boys. We're too young.

Onley me Here Sorry. Stay Away from the BAD Boys. Stick Close to any True Friend or Friend's. Leave School as soon as it is over so you can Avoid bumping into a Group of Bad People alone. Tell Your Parents about the Bullying. I was picked on and Bullied almost Daily from 6th to 8th Grade. I did have some Great True Friend's. And I had a Blast when I was Young hanging out with my Best Friend After School. I tried to Ignore the Bullying but it was Hard at times. Luckily I Graduated Grade School and had the Coolest Friend's in High School. Once I grew More Attractive looking with No More Braces then I got More Popular. It is Very SAD how People Judge Us from the way we look or the way that we Dress or who are Good Friend's sre. Make Gopd Friend's, the ones the Bullies pick on. If you get 10 Friend's or even 1 who goes through that you will Not feel So one. Try to be Happy with Yourself despite the Bullies. Be Nice to them even though their Not Nice..A few might get Nice. Sorry you go through that.

Onley me Here Continued. I am an Adult Women. And I also HATE Sexist Comments. People are PIGS who are Sexists. That is one reason that I and others do NOY like President Trump! President Trump is the Biggest Sexist, Prejudice President EVER I saw in History! I do NOT know how the heck some Women even Vote for President Trump. And it REALLY Insults Me when some Repulicans call President Trump a " Christian"!! True Christians would NOT want to Deport Hard Working Mexican Immigrants who have lived here with their Families for Years!! I Never had such a Hard time with a President as I do President Trump. President Trump said He Could do a Crime in the middle of the Street and get awag with it. He feels Invincible. Stay the Sweet Strong Women that You are. Look at how God see's You. Not the way those Boys see you. Look how Jesus Christ see's you. You sounds Nice and Intellegent. I was like You at your age. You sound Nice. Stay Sweet!! Pick Good Friend's and leave the School Building with them. Always have your Ride Home Planned out ahead. Keep your Cell phone with You at All times and keep Your Cell phone charged. Stay sweet..Your Intellegent. I like your Views. You Respect Womem and your Cool. You remind Me of You when I was Your age. But you know some of my " BEST" Years in life were in Grade School..My Mom was Alive and she was So Sweet! My Grandma was Alive. My Best Friend invited Me over Alot. So find ANY Good. Take Care!!

Yeah that would be great.

Exactly evn i felt tht😔

Me too😢😢

Yes. All of these things.

It’s worse than hell

Lalisa manoBANGS I can relate I’m 14 and have ptsd depression and anxiety. School is hell for me.

I understand I have to take meds bc of my depression and anxiety

I thought IAM the only one who suffers from them ...

@@TobyBanci for me sometimes I like to go to school because then I can focus on school work etc and escape the reality of my depression and anxiety . The weirdest part is I'm not even smart or good at school. Also I can make my parents happy so that's a plus for me. I barely do anything in summer so I guess I would look forward to school and ya know not think about how shitty my life is and instead just try and get good grades etc *Update* 2021: I am now failing school and a huge disappointment to my parents :)

Your not alone I go though that too

yep

the thoughts you can get are so scary. i just wish they can stop

yeah

And at the end you say your fine😭

Butty On Msp yeah

Butty On Msp I KNOW I FEEL YOU OH MY GOD REALY THO

Butty On Msp There's nothing "cute" about anxiety/depression. I've lived most of my life with anxiety disorder and trough counselling and therapy, I've found a group of really close friends, whom with I can be my true self, without that "smiling mask".

Butty On Msp #why I'm homeschooled

TheZeppiZ Some people find it "cute" since they feel like it brings them attention

I’m exactly the same

Me too 😓

You don’t know if they don’t

Haylee Grange omg, everyone at my school does that. One kid at my school said they were having a panic attack so I went over to get the teacher and they told me they were okay. They just wanted the group of kids to come over and feel bad for her. Since I really have anxiety, I ignored them for the rest of the day

THANK YOU! SOMEONE WHO GETS ME

The Wierd One ugh I can relate so much.

Meg B exactly 😕

Lisa Mcpheee ty fren. you too :)

meg b. and your profile picture is the reason its not each night anymore...

Ugly SCP tato does anxiety goes away with age ?? The worst thing is that I am only 14 and I get panic attacks .... The fact is that I wanna live !! 😭😭😫😫

I am 11 and I get really bad panic attacks

SOMYA SINGH it can get better with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. You learn coping tools to cut it off when it’s happening and to get over the episode a little quicker. My therapist actually talked me through one today. Instead of going through all the stages of it she helped me stop it 2 minutes in. My panic attacks usually last 10 minutes or more. I would suggest seeing a therapist. I didn’t when I was a teen and now I’m a semi functioning adult with terrible mental health. Getting better though!

@@somyasingh2859 of course you'll live. I've lived with anxiety for half my life. Im 59 yrs. old. That certainly doesn't mean you will. Everyone is different, and if you tell your parents, go to the doctor. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It happens to alot of people. There is treatment, you just have to find the right help. Please allow your parents to help and guide you. You'd be surprised how much they know.

Could not relate more. For some reason I turn around every 15 seconds in there is space behind me. I’m paranoid and get scared doer the smallest things. I love space, but I’m so scared of black holes. I’m scared that out of nowhere I’ll just die. I feel like if I talk about my dreams I’ll be cursed. I feel like everybody can read my mind and that they are judging me. Whenever somebody stares at me in public I’m scared they wanna hurt me. I can’t do anything. I’m scared of people hating me an thinking I’m worthless.

Microdosing mushrooms can not be deemed bad but one has to find a good mycologist to teach you the right things need to know

Exactly! And when they're like "it's not even that bad" excuse me? Have you ever gone through this? It's terrifying and you feel like you're all alone with no one to help you

Gummy Bear Girl I hate that my own parents yell at me for "cowering" when they ask a simple question. It's not a conscious thought to flinch away, it's a reaction. Why do you have to scold and yell and beat me, or confine me to my room or a tiny little chair, as if punishing me is going to make me get better? It's only made it worse. I'm terrified of even _looking_ at my stepfather now, lest I've done some tiny thing wrong and he calls it out like it's life or death. My only source of comfort is ranting to strangers who couldn't care less, because at least then my parents can't yell at me for not telling them how I feel when I get yelled at.

bella mary also when people say “ your just paranoid” my mother says that to me all the time and I hate it so much

exactly my friend says that to me almost everyday but im actually not fine she just doesnt get it

Or when people just say "get over it" or "just be happy". It makes you feel like your problems are invalid when they're not.

Hi its been two years. May I ask if your anxiety getting better? Im dealing with it right now.

Dorks MSP for some reason this made me laugh. Like literally. The " stop having a seizure" is the part that seems funny to because its absurd) i agree with you, but as a person who suffers from GAD i kinda tell people to calm down. even though i understand from experience that this is absurd to tell this, but actually thats exactly what you need to do, i learned it in a way that i got to the point that i didnt care already if i "live or die" and after that breaking point i steadily getting better, also AD are a helping hand. I think the best words to hear while in a panic/anxiety attack is "im with you. Im here to help you get through it. I'll protect you and make sure you are going to be fine" as panic attack is basically flee or fight kind of situation.. its really soothing to hear that there's some one to take care of you. Just my opinion :)

Dorks MSP its like telling someone with a broken leg to run a marathon and get on with it...

Dancers Unite seriously...my gf just doesn't get it because I don't have a good explanation as to what started it this time

This is best explanation for anxiety I've seen so far. Yeah, it's not as awful as epilepsy, yet we have no control over our anxiety and can't just stop it.

Dancers Unite i agree %100 i have anxiety and depression and i was texting my friend once while freaking out and she told me to calm down and i threw my phone across the room. i hate it when people say to just stop thinking about it and complaining but i can’t control it. it’s not like i want this i don’t complain because only my closest friends know about this. so i don’t complain and i fake a smile every day. you are so right

Yep just happened to me earlier...

SAME! Happened today.

That is definitely no the worst part!

I do. Or I just randomly get scared and I really mean it. I just sit in my room and chill and out of nowhere I start to sweat, my heart beats fast and I'm so stressed, thinking something will happen in the next seconds and I can't do anything about it. I f*cking hate this.

@@melly2572 what do you do then?? Can you please tell me?? I have the same problem..

@@amitmagar4737 I try to focus on something else and to control my breathe. Lately I started to tell myself loudly that nothing will happen and that I'm safe. I still often have the feelings but with these tricks I learned to control them a little bit so that I won't get a panic attack and it seems to help

@@melly2572 do u get scared when u go outside too? Pls tell me

anxiety sucks. 😂

iicoco Ugh! SAME!

Yashashree Chavan IKR and school doesn’t help with anxiety😭

@@iicoco7757 Exactly! School=Hell.

Have you ever just stopped breathing momentarily? Like, you don’t notice it until you are about to suffocate? Sometimes I do at school and when I gasp for air people stare at me and I can basically hear them saying “What the heck?” “That girl is so weird” “Is this girl like, okay? What the heck?”

Hello there YES omg! and i have asthma to so it acts up. but throughout the day i feel like i forgot to breathe and i have to take a few minutes to stop what i’m doing and just focus on breathing

Your👏mom👏gay👏

@@KESTRAL23 lmao cassies right people saying they have it for attention has no idea what its actually like

Ikr ppl say it to be funny and its annoying

Dzlzeye Zpupr h o w

it makes me want to die

I can relate so much I’m not even kidding

How I feel every second of my life

This is every second of my life

I relate so much to the taking one

if i talk, and i say something wrong, they’ll think I’m stupid which is why I don’t talk much

they think anxiety is just a short period in time where you stress over something like a test. but no it happens everyday in my life, everytime I mess up, every time I stutter, even when ordering food.

Leah EXACTLY. like seriously i feel like every time i tell someone i’m feeling my anxiety overwhelm me or something they’re like “oh well there’s nothing to be anxious about so just don’t worry.” and i’m like, i’m not freaking worrying for just a short period of time idiot.

Have any of you tried Trasncendental Meditation? check these out: transcendental-meditation.be/anxiety/ And www.natural-stress-relief.com/ It is literally the cure for anxiety disorders, the media has hidden it from you because there is no profit in a cure. I never suffered from severe anxiety but my friend who had a social anxiety disorder turned into a completely different person 2 - 3 weeks later, he now has a girlfriend, when he never had a girlfriend for the whole 20 years he's been alive for.

I hate when people tell me that im too young to be depressed or too young to have anxiety, i hate ignorance

@@angelessarmiento443 Try TM, it will cure your anxiety. It sounds too good to be true, but TM has been shown to cure anxiety disorders.

It is man

When I first asked my mom if I could go see a counselor about my anxiety she got upset and asked me what she did so wrong to make me need therapy. It sucked, I cried and felt guilty, but she let me go. And now almost 5 years later she has been in therapy for years too and is so much more understanding of me and I understand her better too. I hope someday your mom understands or at least you're able to get the help you need❤

That's not fucking life. Idk what to say I'm sorry man.

Same

I told my dad I have anxiety and he said “no you don’t”

I know when you know how to stop over working your mind lets me know

this is also me like Jesus help me

True. Just true. I overthink everything. I stress about everything. It's insane. Especelly together with school (yes I'm in school, this doesn't mean that I just have teenager hormones, I have actual anxiety, I wish I didn't)

I have the same thing anxiety and depression and stress .. I am just trying to let it go.. but iv been feeling nosey in both ears buzzer sound ..

@@itsmequeenbee235 look i can understand you i going thrue with other thibgs that anxiety can make you.but you must find a good psychologist to understand yourself and relax

That's Depression😊

@@user-be6wh5rz4j you said that so nicely 😂

I feel safe, no where.

@@larko2717 same😓

@@larko2717 but when i think about being close to god or even hugging him and talking to him about my problems i really do feel kinda safe🤗

That's what people don't understand about anxiety. It's not just what they know as fear. It physically hurts like hell.

You can't see pain. You feel it.

Brick Tin yep that true I have both anxiety and depsstion and they both suck

It's all about vitamin deficiency. Have any of you guys drank fresh orange juice everyday. Its an anti-depressant. Spiritual entities live in plants along with vitamins and minerals essential to the body. God gave them to you. If your free will doesn't take them , you're in trouble. Also honey, the mind doesn't know the difference between reality and imagination. Be Positive and DESTROY the negativity. Youre only in the state youre in cause youre already saying negative things about everything. Honestly did you even say one positive thing in this video. Thrash metal has also proven to destroy these negative thoughts. Also life has duality, stay balanced good and bad are the same thing , just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Get it you guys! Everything I have written so far is just positive thinking, have nothing to do with anxiety, You guys give us ANXIETY! What do you think about that! AHHHH I Feel better now. Brahmacharya - Conservation of Sexual energy also destroys negative thinking before it erupts into an anxiety type action.Fangster

Fangster really I have anxiety and it can be passed down from family members to family members so there

Dahlia C. True shit amen!

😭😭😭

Facts! It's driving me crazy!

Agree! It’s terrible. My body and mind are at war between each other and I’m somewhere lost in the middle. Some days no matter how hard I try I can’t get out of bed or stay awake for days and others I just wish my mind would stop. For even just a minute. To not have thoughts constantly going through my mind so fast when someone ask “what’s on your mind” I could actually answer? Because I have not been able to answer that for years. It’s like.... would you like to know the 6 conversations and scenes i was playing out in my mind that may or may not happen within the next few hours what I was thinking right before you asked me that when you looked at me because that’s when I started freaking out about what I did wrong or didn’t do.... so then ((* I start to turn red so much that I look like I just ran a marathon * my hands are sweaty my armpits begin to sweat which then is followed by the rest of my body then I am even more anxious that it’s noticeable I’m freaking out my heart starts racing my chest starts hurting it feels as if an elephant has sat on me and someone is sliding a large knife in my heart over and over again I start shaking I’m trying to breathe but it’s so hard and feels like I’m suffocating .... then I start to get dizzy and luckily this has happened so many times I know to find some type of balance so I don’t fall and hurt myself but sometimes I’m so lost that I’m frozen and I start to fade away from what’s in front of me it’s like my vision starts to blur and even though my body is there I am away from my body and it’s one of two ways it’s just a blurred picture of what’s happening but looking far away and it feels as though it’s happened before exactly like this like it was a dream or a vision like daja vu or sometimes as if I am looking at myself from a different point Of view or from a different persons eyes ))...and deep in my mind I can vaguely hear voices around me and when someone is asking are you okay hello and so on I want to answer back even just a no or yes or even a nod but it’s like I don’t have control over my own body .. then I’m hating myself for going on about the last 45 seconds of my thoughts to you because I felt like you were looking at me like I’m crazy which is what lead to me thinking the way I was and letting my thoughts control me and my anxiety take control of me to the point my anxiety was not just anxiety it lead into an anxiety attack and then a panic attack because after my anxious mind had enough fun with me panic set in and I started freaking out because in that moment I felt like I was going to die I seriously thought I was going to die.....truth is when you ask that question and I try to actually think about an answer for the first time once I control my breathing slightly my mind goes blank which is what Ive wanted for so long but now that it’s happened I don’t want it to happen because it’s not the right time I want to think right now I want to remember what I was thinking I want to be able to slow my thoughts just enough to say one simple thing that’s on my mind. And the scary thing is that’s the anxiety part. Depression is going on the complete opposite side you go from your mind being on overdrive of excessive worry and fear of what ifs to such darkness and emptiness. It’s constantly willing yourself to get up and do something... anything get up out of bed and do something in the day do better be better be and do something but not wanting to do anything at all except not exist. It’s wanting so much but wanting nothing at all at the same time. It’s wanting the ability to just disappear. I don’t want to die even though I’ve thought about it so many times you’d think I’d know how I would want to... like id have a plan ... but I don’t actually want to die... I just wish I didn’t exist I wish it was like a magic trick and I never was born. At least this is how I’ve been able to describe my depression and anxiety disorder at this moment because honestly I’ve never really been able to describe it when someone ask just like the simple question what’s on your mind and that right there is also why this won’t make sense to a lot of people because this is literally my thoughts in the moment and my memory of thoughts and emotions and actions of times that I had a panic or anxiety attack. And if you are able to read and follow this as it is written as if you were there re-enacting events yourself then you probably have had to deal with similar situations and just know that your not alone and it will be ok. Some people grow out of this or cope with it and it doesn’t happen again or if it does it may be rare...and others like myself learn day by day. Personally I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder starting around age 15 and I hid my thoughts and feelings from my parents and doctors and tbh I still do without realizing and I’m 24. I am just now getting help after years of denying anything and obsessing, worrying , fearing , what ifs. For a little over a year of trying to get help but not having the right resources to go to I have found a decent clinic that is showing progress towards a positive direction in therapy and medications and groups instead of just throwing a medicine cabinet at me along with a number of diagnoses that I previously had no knowledge of and saying that I’m on a list for therapy... so if you feel like you need help but are afraid just do some research and reach out.. the silence is your enemy. It will be extremely hard at first and it will take some time for the difficulty to ease as personally everyday for me has its challenges and everyday is a learning day for me but it does get better and easier with time. My first clinic was terror and I hated myself for reaching out because they honestly did not care or follow the guidelines and such that they say and show in the paperwork and pamphlets they hand out. I begged for help from them when I had agoraphobia and could not go outside the threshold of the front door let alone to my appointments. No one came to help. I found myself getting past all of that slowly on my own and once I realized that the toxic relationship I was in was truly that and I was not crazy like my abuser insisted and I had a window of opportunity that I had not had the whole year to run I did and my grandmother was there to support me. The clinic wanted me to go in for a six month revaluation to do the same check in and answer questions about my childhood and life and such like when I first originally went when they bring up stuff that personally my mind had blocked out then you see the doctor and they diagnose you and prescribe medications that may or may not work to be told that I’m on a list for therapy and such.... all before refilling the handful of medications they put me on all at one time. That was a major trigger for me and I had no filter or control of myself after that.. I went off on the person on the other side I had obtained my records and withdrew myself from there care as well as weaned myself off of the week and half of medications I still had. I found another clinic and deeply expressed my concerns and past experiences with mental health care. In the beginning I was assured that I had no need to worry about anything even close to similar happening with this clinic. I was trying to be optimistic and right after that the pandemic started the appointment that was supposed to be the new positive beginning was canceled and I started to panic and doubt that I was ever going to get better. It was difficult for a few months although I did overcome a lot of obstacles including telling someone with the clinic that I am done with getting my hopes up just to be let down in more ways than even anticipated that it was becoming just as the other clinic. After reminding myself that I need to have patience and give them a chance to figure things out and how to work with the pandemic. After a few months I had gained enough patience in myself to try to continue on with treatment. I called and with time and persistence was able to get back in and on schedule to see a doctor for medications and on a list for therapy which I am still hopeful for a month later. I have a non licensed therapist which has been through similar situations as myself and a case manager which is much more progress than ever before at the other clinic. Just be patient and kind to yourself as much as others and don’t loose hope in yourself. Be persistent and research for a place near you and with time you will find somewhere and someone who will help you. If you don’t help yourself than no one can help you. If you don’t help yourself as time passes things will get worse and so will you. Mental health is serious. I also deal with ptsd, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, and have bipolar traits and cognitive thinking. It took someone looking at me and calling me out on my bull when I said I was ok. I broke down in tears and explained everything going on in my life at the time. She told me that she to was trying to carry on with life like everything was fine when in fact the opposite was happening she was truly falling apart inside. That was 14 years ago. And she now was in her 40s with a career and family. I pondered what she said and reached out at the first clinic weeks afterwards. Here I am a year and half later just beginning treatment and moving forward in more positive ways than I ever even imagined everyday is still a challenge and I have to constantly remind myself that I am better than I was yesterday. Everyday is a learning day. I learn something new or different way to do something that makes a positive change in some way in my day every day.

@@brizyonabromley4583 beautiful words you really described me in those ! May God bless you my friend just know you are not only one going through this ❤

Shoujo Tingz exactly people think it’s a trend these days but it’s a serious issue

yeah :( i have terrible anxiety, my counselor diagnosed me with an anxiety disorder. anxiety is a really serious thing, i don’t get why people say they have anxiety to look cute

Tbh I find it very offensive

sugaa my boii Wait, a counselor can diagnose you with an anxiety disorder?? Let me just email my counselor real fast... 😂 Jk my school counselor doesn’t know a thing about anxiety, but it would be nice if it was that easy.

Mockingjay125 well i guess a counselor can diagnose people but they would need enough info about your life to actually diagnose you with something. sorry i’m not good at explaining things

Rin ah yes

Rin Yes

Swear

😖

Insomnia come along too

Panda that's why it would be better to say anxiety disorder instead of just "having anxiety". because it's true that every has anxiety sometimes but it's not the same described in the video. I guess it just common in the English language to say "I have anxiety" when you actually mean the disorder, but it makes things unclear (at least that's what I think as a non-native speaker)

This is new to me the more I explore the more I see what I really have, to me anxiety was just feeling nervous. I never thought how much was all of this connected.

Panda I hate that I HATE THAT. I always feel worse because I know the difference between what they think anxiety is and what I know anxiety is but I can't explain because they are convinced they have it too

Panda I hate when you tell someone they have anxiety and they say they do to by only saying a small portion of what they feel like doing a speech because they are afraid and scared to actually admit how they feel most people with depression and anxiety try to hide it and make it seem like they're happy but they're not and they don't want to share it.

Panda SAME my best friend does that

Emma Dawn Same.

yep, same here.

Emma Dawn when I get anxiety I just move my hands with my thumb and my second finger .

Donald Trump does it help though ?

Emma Dawn I have the same problem😭😭

That’s more social anxiety but there’s different kinds

I’ve never heard somebody say the ‘feeling like you want to go home but are already there’ one. But now that I’ve seen it written, I can identify with it so so much. Thanks for putting words to this feeling!

me

i didn’t knew i had anxiety!! ty !! i can totally relate to this
