my brain is so hell bent on keeping me alive it keeps me from *living*
ruoweii same here. I'm so worried about so many things 😑😑😑
I scared that I will die
Oof that one got to me
Yes. I cannot think sometime because I feel like I am not breathing or I am not eating enough or I am eating too much.
ruoweii Hey everyone I make mental health vlogs about how to overcome certain disorders and anxiety is one of them! Would really mean a lot if some of y'all could check it out on my channel thanks! Stay strong
I have anxiety about anxiety which makes me have anxiety.
Just meditate
I once didn't sleep so I got scared of sleeping so I didn't sleep
I'm with you on this one, It's terrifying.
oppermanfitness me too, then i cant sleep and was afraid to sleep because with my anxiety i have an upset stomach, my whole body shakes and was afraid to eat before going to bed because of my upset stomach. Anxiety from anxiety from afraid of sleeping and throwing up is terrible 😩 havent went through it for months though so im glad that short phase is over.. i realized myself it was because of this bully in school 😩😪 but its better now
oppermanfitness same
I get anxiety in school for no reason. I just want to jump out of my seat and run around but i cant 😕
Janice The Gymnast SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS TO ME
Janice The Gymnast That sounds like ADHD.

Try a fidget toy!
Janice The Gymnast I bind anxiety off this girl in the name of Jesus
1- cut down on caffiene and alcohol and be aware of their after effect.
2- do breathing exercises.
3-going on a walk.
4- go to therapy
5- identify the trigger
6- check if you're HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired
7- Microtask your day (start with simple tasks.
8- zoom out and realize how insignificant we are in this vast world.
9- don't beat yourself up, accept the ups and downs.
10- be vulnerable and talk to someone about it.
Thanks
Another tip: Stay hydrated. Dehydration can cause increased hr and anxiety. It has happened to me before
Doug the Dunker thanks!
probably why my anxiety it getting worse
Ok !
No wonder I have bad anxiety I only drink like, 1-2 cups of liquids a day
Interesting. I drink like no water.
I have anxiety and panic attacks every day. I haven't really gotten a good medicine for it yet. Having anxiety like that just makes your quality of life go down so far and so fast. It makes you feel like something is wrong with you because they happen randomly and with no reason. There is nothing making you anxious and yet your heart is trying to pound out of your chest. It makes your soul feel sick
Michael Runde So true man
Michael Runde sertraline and propanolol work gd
Smoke some Mary Jane
JMK
lol I did in high school but now I'm graduated. I just got a new job but still live at home. I would if I could. I just have a lot on the line here. With the new job I'm still on the probationary part. Plus living at home makes that pretty hard to do. lol I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment
Just apply for medical marijuana, depending which state you live in
I wonder what my life would have been like if I didn't have terrible anxiety since childhood.
Don't think about it, you are you and _you_ have come this far.
What do you feel ? Im feeling hypersensitivity in my hands and feet for 4 days straight, I started having panic attacks 1 month ago
Maybe you should wonder what your future would be like if you didn't have anxiety?
OMG that was exactly my thought this morning. Because somehow I wake up anxious.
Trace Face same tbh
Is it weird if I feel anxious about anxiety videos? I have pretty severe anxiety and I get really nervous about others talking about the subject.
andrineslife Do you know why?
andrineslife I'm the same way. It's hard for me to even talk to my anxiety and insecurities with my therapist
Jonathan De La Paz well said.
No
andrineslife I do too!! You’re not alone: on this or anything. :) Always look for people who are helping. You are strong! Message me if you want to talk!!
I get a lot of headaches from stress and anxiety, so focusing on one small task really helps me to relax
Kerensa Yay try weed it works
Perfectly said. even I had a throbbing head and hair fall, headaches, weakness and God knows what. But I'm still coping with fear everyday. Trust in God and stay strong!
@Tom Payton same i get tight throat and my head aches like im light headed or sumthn
Panic attacks suck
I got panic attacks from drinking too much coffee. It's the scariest freaking feeling ever.
I've fainted 3 times now because of panic attacks and that makes anxiety so much worse because then all eyes are on you
Philosophy of Religion Blog OMG same..
HexocGames • same i get it everyday
24 hours a day i barely get sleep
My now deceased dad would say "if you have a problem fix it. If you can't fix it, stop worrying about it." He was English and survived the almost daily bombing of his town (Luton) during WW2 including a time when he was working at a drawing board when his boss shouted "DUCK!!!". Four hours later he was fished out of the ruins of his work place. Meanwhile his fiancée (my mother) had been waiting for a bus when she heard the blast but had to rush to her post (she was an ARP warden/Ambulance Driver) knowing that the bomb landed near the building that her fiancé was working. She had to act professional (even though she drove four bodies to the morgue) despite living through one of the most uncertain times in modern history.
millertas I really enjoyed that story! Very impressive of your parents to have survived that.
That definitely puts things into perspective. Not too many people have things this bad at all.
That wrinkled shirt is giving me anxiety 😂😂😂
Anthony Cirillo The wrinkled shirt is affecting my OCD. XD
God I hope wrinkled clothes doesn't become a hipster fad
I didn't get thru 3 seconds before scrolling down to see if anyone else noticed!
I was thinking of FedExing them an iron within 2 minutes of watching. Lol. They're too put-together to wear wrinkly shirts.
Yes
I really needed this, thanks guys 😊, one way I deal with anxiety is by listening to music as it helps my mind become distracted and at peace
L.T. R I do the exact same, music helps so much sometimes ❤️
T AF it does, there's is something in music that calms me down when I'm getting overwhelmed and anxious
Better Candy I love this comment, this is really good advice
When I'm anxious I have a little checklist I always go through:
1. I say to myself it's ok. I don't have to feel bad about it and accept that I'm anxious now. This helped me alot with my depression.
2. Kinda like HALT I check my basic needs hunger, thirst, sleep and I'll add social contact now too :)
3. If it's not better yet, I try to focus on something small, physical. Touching a certain texture and focusing on it or just hugging your favourite cuddle toy relaxes and let's your mind calm down. I recently started drawing and that's great too. Think about how the pen touches the paper, how the ink comes out of it, the sound it makes and the forms you create.
When I have a panic attack and I'm not able to draw I like to turn on an episode of Bob Ross. The focus on the texture of the brushes and the canvas helps me to clam down and not overthink the whole situation.
There's more situational stuff, but this already helped and friends in alot of situations, so I really hope this helps someone here too :)
Honestly this is the perfect time to upload this because my anxiety is getting worse again and i havent been able to deal with it in a productive way
Alyssa Cook I understand a little of what you are going through. I have just had a really anxious week and I don't even know why. I have had 2 panic attacks both at school during lessons and it's the hardest thing to be so vulnerable in front of friends and teachers, especially when all they say is "don't worry, you're perfect why do you get yourself so worked up when you are so strong a cleaver and funny" the truth is that half the time it's a show that I put on. The other day I told my best friend about the panic attack that I had in science and she just said" I get upset sometimes too." She could understand what it really feel like. Sorry if I'm venting but I needed to let some of it out.
Ive been feeling hypersensibility for 4 days straight non stop, I started having panic attacks last month had like 12, almost every night I cant study ans I have the exam of my life in 2 months as I am typing I feel my hands different I was so happy before I had this problems is so bad, I want to do things but I can't
Music. It's something I can control. It doesn't work all the time, but I find if I can plug in headphones and drown out all of the outside noises it can pause or outright prevent my anxiety attacks. There has only been once lately where I was too far gone (crying, shaking, hyperventilating, wanting to break something/someone, scream, run away, or all of the above and neither my music or huddling in a ball in a quiet dark corner could stop the attack) but once I got away from the crowd of people and hid in the parked car where I could cry it out with more soothing songs I eventually (20 minutes later) calmed down enough to get out of the car and help load the groceries into the trunk. Yes, I ran from the store crying and hyperventilating and getting funny looks the whole way out which didn't help my situation, but as I said, music is what grounds me. It sets my brain waves to a new frequency and sort of overrides the anxiety.
CVVZ Designs While I know it's not the best for my hearing,I listen to headphones for hours nearly everyday to help with anxiety.I go on bike rides and have to have them on,to drown out the noises around me.Around the house,it keeps me focused and nearly anxiety free.I always thought it was corny,when people would say things like "music saved my life",for whatever reason.I now see what they mean.
YES
'We all go to the gym' is wrong, many people don't.
The larger point was that it's socially acceptable to go to the gym to take care of your body, so why isn't it socially acceptable to do the same for your mind?
I wasn't aware it wasn't.
Aidan Ratnage wrong, many people do.
MFPP yeah but Greg said 'you do' implying everybody did.
Me 🙋🏼♂️
To avoid anxiety
Meditate
Think normal
Be happy
Smile:)
(Without a reason)
Definitely being smiling.
❤️
Smile is not the sign of happyness
How to think normal lol
I remember I was once searching through all these videos, researching how to get better. If you are wondering does it heal fully? No it wont but will it get much better? Yes! You have to fight it, take control of it, your body will become familiar with the way you control it. When your brain relalizes that it's okay, it won't come back anymore unless you let it. Aniexty will not kill you, don't be afraid and fight it. Been struggling with aniexty since 2012 and I barely have aniexty anymore. I've had people talk down about me, degrade me because of my aniexty but I kept strong. I couldn't even get in the car without triggering my aniexty, my first plane ride was horrible, I didn't even fly but got off the plane. Yes its hard, but you can do it, have faith. Prayers to you.
I'm surprised meditation is not on this list. It's by far the best thing that I do for anxiety
stinkykyle96 how do you meditate I wanna know how
they did mention deep breathing and yoga
Nityaa Malpani True! It's also helpful to mention doing such meditative activities daily since they're more of a long term solution to anxiety
TheCambobsherwood Sit down 10-15 minutes a day, maybe twice a day, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. When your mind wanders off, gently bring your focus back to the breath. Your mind will wander a lot, even after months of daily meditation, but eventually your mind will wander less and less. Every time you regain your focus, you brain rewires itself a tiny bit which reduces stress and improves focus.
Silent Seeker you can focus on something else too! The breath is just the most popular thing to focus on because it's always there. You can focus on sensations as well
I hope that these tips will help me! :)
A word from the creator of all time and space etc.
1) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)
2) Yes, God created the plants and the chemicals and its uses over the brain conditions so its really advisable to consult a qualified doctor.
3) Physical activity
4) Attitude change
5) Seeking wisdom from the creator
6) Correct food and other lifestyles
7) A supportive family
Diya the Pothead Did it work out for you?
I have generalized anxiety issues (actually diagnosed and on meds to help with it!), and I find the biggest thing I need to remember is to not shove down and suppress emotions and big feelings as they come up. my anxiety problems often come out of having these big emotions suppressed for too long, so what I've been trying to do is actually just let myself feel them. which seems like a big DUH, but is amazingly really hard after a few decades of doing the opposite! letting myself feel down, or scared, or angry, or whatever it is, and working through that emotion in a really thoughtful way is incredibly helpful for me to alleviate anxiety and promote my mental health
I don't know why but this video made me really anxious
Don't worry, me too. I know it wasn't the intention and it's a great video but it definitely made me anxious. It's probably because we are thinking about anxiety for six and a half minutes and the ways we do/don't deal with it even though they are telling us their own experiences. Hope you find something to help you feel calm.
I do that too!! Life will get better. We will get through it together. ❤️
You’re not alone!! Message me if you want to talk!
It made me anxious, too
It's probably because you were anxious that this video would help you manage your anxiety, but this video was not really that helpful, and really just reminded you more of your anxiety without much a solution to help,...and probably because the two guys' anxiety seem eally rno big deal, or at least not very comparable to yours, which upsets you a bit inside, and leaves you feeling like many cannot relate, causing some more anxiety.
Me during entire video:
Walks up to Greg
Takes off his shirt
Walks over to random ironing board that just appeared
Fills Iron up to Max with water
Meticulously irons all the wrinkles out of clown shirt.
Folds shirt
Picks up shirt
Walks over to Greg
Hands Greg folded shirt
Silently walks away
It was very calming
Therapy is so helpful for EVERYONE.
Quite literally
It's really slow though, I just got into some stuff at my hospital and I got referred to something that I have to wait a year to go to, my school counselor helps alot too.
not if u have asian parents. 😂
I go to therapy and it helps. My therapist has seen me cry and he doesn’t judge me for crying.
Like suggested in the video, a distract myself with a lot of “little” tasks, especially cleaning.
Some people think I have OCD because I tend to tidy up my bedroom a lot, or pretty much wherever I go; whether it’s a friend’s house, the store, or work; but I personally don’t think so. I just need a distraction for my mind; cleaning is my own version of a fidget spinner. Plus, being in a clean and organized space makes me feel less anxious.
I always feel anxious and then I keep thinking about what I’m anxious about rather than how to make it better E.G. if it is homework I’m anxious about, I will think “what will happen if I don’t get this done” rather than actually doing it which usually takes me about 45 mins max. If you’re anxious like me a lot of the time, try to completely forget about what your anxious about by doing something (I know it’s difficult). It helps. Stay calm and have a good day :)
Lewis Antell one time I forgot to do my homework and the next day at school I had a panic attack trying to get the work done
I am really afraid of future because I have a dream in my life my brain is always thinking about it will happen or not I just started worrying about it I can't control myself.😰😨😖
I can't run from school!
I get super anxious during class and I can't just leave because then I'll fail :/, and failing makes me anxious too :'))))))
try to make friends .. how ??
smile alot, laugh more, try to make jokes not too much though, repeat.
I think that it's important to let your teacher or professor know about what your feeling or going through. Your mental health is important too and in order for you to do your best and be okay in class, please feel free to talk to a school counselor. It's free in school too! Ain't no shame in it. Take control of it before it takes control of your life.
I really appreciate that Greg and Mitch are giving tips, but at least for me (and I’m pretty sure a lot of other people), it is really hard to remember these tips during a panic attack/a ton of anxiety. So much stuff is racing through your head that you can’t focus! I remember when I was younger, I started getting very anxious, and my mom had bought a book called “what to do when you are anxious” or something like that. Whenever I started to get super anxious she would give me the book, but I couldn’t focus on it. I would shove it away because I was so anxious that I couldn’t even read. It’s crazy how the brain works, and how it can make you feel so horrible in such a small amount of time.
Does any one else feel the same? Also btw I am better now then when I was younger (even though I am still a little anxious)!
I agree. High levels of anxiety make it hard to concentrate and think rationally.
When I head into a panic attack, I black out. I don't even remember what happens. So its all about preventive measures for me. Sigh
I think the key with all emotions is to see them coming. And that is really something you need to learn, to know how your body reacts, what thoughts you are having etc. So the key is knowing your feelings when they are still moderate and you can still handle them.
Sometimes I literally hit myself to snap out of it.
Ella G. EXACTLY! I experience that all the time. People think I can think perfectly clearly when having an anxiety attack.
something that helps my anxiety is this thing called grounding. it's where you look around you and find:
5 things you can see
4 things you can feel
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
it really helps me bring myself back down to earth and calms me down at least for a few minutes. it works best if you take your time and really observe what is around you.
Natalya Abrahamian I bind up anxiety in the name of Jesus
I was diagnosed with GAD recently and these tips are worth trying, for me walking / exercise really does make a difference. Hopefully on my way to return to full term education ; great video guys anxiety is hard to deal with and videos like this can really help people. Well done x
Good luck :)
Fellow GAD sufferer here too! Good luck :) even little steps toward your goal will help. Just keep moving forward... Even a tiny bit at a time.
Chris Dwyer thank you 😊
Another GAD sufferer here, the best advice i was given in dealing with anxiety is to follow a daily plan of basic steps:
1:get proper sleep
2:eat healthy and regularly
3:exercise
By following those 3 steps religiously my anxiety has become much more manageable. It's about routine and control over yourself. Anxiety makes you feel like you're spinning out but you can take control and it's like another poster said treat it like it's something you live with and not something you must get over = baby steps and small goals.
I use to have serious anxiety attacks. What helped me the most, was after I had a near death experience, I was able to ask myself "Am I dying?" and Usually that answer is "No" and it helps you put things into perspective especially mentally and emotionally. I would calm my heart rate and help me to see the bigger picture. I focus on details and I have OCD. So this worked for me. I follow all the tips on this video except I haven't gone to therapy. I don't want to be on meds. While this has worked for me, it has held me back from succeeding in my career. So I have some work to do still. I intend to. Thanks for the reassurance with these tips that I found way before I was even aware of it. Great advice!
If I feel myself unable to stop ruminating to the point where it will trigger an anxiety attack, i try to look around at my surroundings and name things I can "see" with my 5 senses. It really helps to ground me and can sometimes stop the hyperventilating and crying that gets out of control during my panic attacks.
Example, I see the dots on the ceiling, I feel my warm, heavy blanket, I taste salty tears, I hear my own voice or cars going by outside. It forces me to be present until I'm able to find a task that will further distract and calm me.
Casey Cameron im going to try this, thanks!
That actually kinda helped 😊 Thanks x
You are on your way to learning to meditate. Dive deep and you can force yourself into peace for a short time. Over the long term, meditation retrains your brain on its base operations and your anxiety will be less frequent. If you want to hard core turbo charge your recovery, learn mediation and then go to a doctor and get training in CBT like they said in the video. Your brain just needs to be trained how to behave properly for most of it, the chemical side can be handled better after training as well.
Good luck and I hope someday you join those of us that have broken out of the black-hole of anxiety.
Love you guys
Listening to a podcast is something that has really helped me. Whenever I feel myself getting super anxious, I'll listen to an episode of a podcast and I'll try to really focus in on what they're talking about. This helps distract me from my own thoughts. Also, talking to my mom really helps. I was reading that when you listen to your mom's voice, your brain releases oxytocin which helps you to relax.
I am appreciative for you sharing your experience / tips in how to handle anxiety. It's important to remember that anxiety doesn't disappear all at once And you have to take care of yourself and treat yourself gently so you prevent it from happening in the future. Keep up the Self care
I have bi-polar disorder with generalized anxiety as well as lupus. I’ve found it helpful when I notice anxiety or panic to do check-ins. I’ll text loved ones and make sure they are well, touch base with my own lupus issues to make sure it isn’t something physical and then acknowledge “Ok, this is unnecessary mind, you’ve been tricked by my chemical imbalances let’s refocus”. I guess it boils down to self-talk and for me personally, distracting myself.
I am sorry but that patched shirt gives me anxiety
i want to iron it honestly
Olivia Dahl bet, me too
dang...me too...kind of unsettling.
lmao
DanteValentine16 lolllll
When I feel anxious at work I take a min to write down everything I have to do. When everything is bouncing around my brain it's easy to feel overwhelmed. When I get it on paper it looks much more manageable AND you have the satisfaction of watching the list get smaller as you complete tasks.
Honestly exercising has helped me so much but its hard to get up and do it when you're feeling anxious.
Being open does help, last week is the first time I shared with someone about my anxiety and depression - that person is my childhood best friend. I've always appeared to be the stronger one between the two of us and now I feel like I don't have to hide anything from her anymore.
I heard somewhere that it is strong to make yourself weak so don't be afraid to share.
Also, another that really helps me is to drive, because I have grown up with no control of my life, driving gives me that control and I can go anywhere. If you're not active person, it also helps because I feel the movement of the vehicle is much similar to the wind blowing your hair kind of thing when you run.
As hard as it is, forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do helps me overcome the hard times. I was barely leaving my house and decided to hop on a planet to fly across the country to visit my family and I have been doing way better. Life still isn't perfect and I still have my moments...but at least I'm out of the house! Not saying to do anything this extreme, but if you don't feel like leaving your house...force yourself to go on a walk or visit a friend. I promise you you'll feel better.
And by planet I mean plane. I'm not an alien I swear.
You say that... Maybe you are just a lizard people?
Anyway, the thought of little planets that you could just hop on circling the earth near ground level is amazing. Why can't we have that? :D
Many times Anxiety is an accumulation of emotional trauma that originates back in childhood. The traumatic memories get stored in the mind and body, and any external fragments of the memory that go noticed by the subconscious become the emotional reaction by the physical body. Much love to all the anxiety warriors out there. #morethananxiety
You uploaded this just in time! Thank you for the video guys. Keep up the good work 💗
When I have anxiety I like to zoom out and see how small everything is and then I think about how short life is and I just wander in my scattered thoughts
Knitting is really helpful for me... Gets my hands occupied and as soon as my mind starts wandering and I lose my focus... I fuck up and have to start again. Forces you to keep focused.
Jessie Bell that's amazing! All my coworkers are having babies so I'm making all sorts of tiny boots and hats ❤
Jessie Bell it might sound dumb, but I never thought of knitting clothes for homeless people. It's a great idea and it'll be my next project once I'm done showering the babies with fuzzy yarn ❤❤💋
Jessie Bell Oh that's a great tip! Thank you so much, you have yourself a nice evening :)
If knitting for homeless. Try knitting mats with those plastic bags we get at grocery stores. The mats help the homeless keep dry. Giving them out.... gives your heart a good feeling. The anxiety returns. But, a few minutes of good helps.
I have chronic anxiety and out of all the videos on TH-cam this one really spoke to me and helped so much. Thank you!!!!
Anxiety is my city
England is my city
One of the thing that works for me is to just stop and think: Wait if i feel anxious/bad/angry what does it bring? How does it help me? What benefit i get from feeling bad? 99.9% of the time the answer is that it brings nothing or it makes it worse. Basically i realise feeling bad about something or nothing (it works much better when you have figured out what it is that upset you) can only be detrimental or neutral. And then i tell myself i might as well not feel bad about it as not feeling bad about it will be neutral or can make it better actually and on top of it, well, you feel better. Basically realising and aknowledging that anxiety is self inflicted and not helping helps me to let fo of it. (I am really not sure if this is helpful for others but it helps me a ton). Cheers
Before the 10 tips:
Tip 0: Anxiety is normal. It is your brain and body's way of telling you 'something may not be right and requires your attention'. So FIRST and FOREMOST, decide if your anxiety is normal before 'wishing it away'. Anxiety is unpleasant, but it is important.
Anxiety DISORDER is hell.
Circe If you want to avoid hang over. Before you get into bed drink a glass of water; (try it)!!
Circe
You obviously have 0 idea about anxiety disorder
Tip #8 is way too relatable lmao I have long term anxiety and my trick is blasting music and driving on my favorite empty road. Something about it makes me feel like I’m going somewhere new and I’m leaving my problems behind and I just feel better! Not sure if it’ll help anyone else but thought I’d put it out there! :)
riding my bike around really helps with stress and anxiety u should try it
I get anxiety from going outside lmao.
Lilith same lol but when I’m with a friend or just on my phone I’m ok
"When you feel weak and vulnerable that is the time people see the real You"
Totally agreed. You guys talked in a really calm and soothing manner.
Thanks for the video!
I can't have caffine because of my generalized anxiety disorder. I end up in a trembling heap. (Even half a cup of coffee is too much for me)
Whenever possible, I listen to music to calm my anxiety. However, sometimes I'm in a place where it's not really practical to pull out some headphones and put on my favorite albums. If you're in a public place and start feeling really, really anxious, then try this: just take a minute and use your senses to observe your surroundings. Find a few things you can feel, a few things you can see, a few things you can hear, and a few things you can smell. It helps you feel more in control and less overwhelmed. I do this pretty often, and it really seems to help me. Hopefully it'll help some of you too.
How to deal with anxiety:
Dab on the haters
Eamonn what if the haters dab back or if I don't dab well enough and then they hate me more or i break something going to low?
this comment gives me anxiety jeez
Great tips!
I didn't know AsapScience reached so many intermediate school students!
Woah just take it easy man....
I’m a little bit late to the party, but oh well.
I have huge issues with anxiety and I am on meds for it, however they don’t always help and I need some techniques to cope. What I when my anxiety is at its worst is that first I try to figure out what that gives me anxiety. Then I try to figure out why. If I can figure it out I write it down and bring it to my therapist.
If I can’t, I try to distract myself. It doesn’t always work, but when it does it’s great. My tip here is to make a list of things that usually work for distractions that you can look at when anxious and try. Some examples that work for me are writing poetry, writing stories, playing Animal Crossing New Leaf, singing, playing guitar, watching Netflix, cleaning and so on.
Thank you for a great video!
i just realized... i am in anxiety because i feel lonely. WTF. O.o
Mjo Costa that can be true like me I feel so much more powerful and happy when around friends or my bf
Mjo Costa this is whats wrong with me. I have nobody and everytime i even talk to someone for 5 mins i feel happy.
A therapist helps a lot with this.
Same here haha living in a city apartment space alone whith no fam or friends makes me super Langley and anxious
I become anxious a lot everywhere, especially at my job. I think I am socially anxious.
I am working over it. Thank you for this video.
I got anxiety from the thumbnail
TRUST ME READ ITS WORTH IT!!!
I’m going to be honest. I give my self prep talks... I’m getting anxious about school and not feeling safe to go to school (What happened in Florida) but I have my self this prep talk. “Listen, (your name) the people in this world are mean. They target that school and did it on purpose only to fuck up your life. They know it’s screwing with you. They want you to feel sad and depressed and uncomfortable and not safe. That’s what they want. YOU CANT LET THEM DO THAT! You are so strong and brilliant and just a one of a kind person. No one can change your greatness. You are you, like you can’t let a dumbass like that change everything for you. You can’t let them get their way.” I really think that prep talks work...
I wish, I could have had an anxious free Life 😔 certain past unpleasantt memories triggers vigorous anxiety in me which causes racing heart and sweating. Wanna get out of it permanently
Research "Freedom From Fear". It's an anxiety recovery programme, and it's working SO well for me!
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and it changes everything about my life thank you for making this video love you guys!
so helpful!! thanks guys xx
I'm a single father 5 & 9 I also take care of my Mom. I'm currently going thru a eviction and being forced out by a slum lord here in Sacramento,Ca I've been dealing with this anxiety now for 18 YEARS! It gets worse during hard times but just let yourself know that you will get through it because nobody has ever died from it and you will be just fine later on in the day I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
I can’t do it anymore.
I like what Mitch said at the end. About being vulnerable and that’s when people really see you. That’s so true! I never thought about it that way
What if your lonely but don't have any friends ;-;
Do you have family? I talk to my cousin daily. My need to reach out brought me closer with a lot of my family actually.
Tigeroic get a xbox or ps4
make online friends
jill stanhope in all seriousness online gaming helps
LPVC Best advice.
Thank you for opening up, I understand if you feel vulnerable doing so in your personal life then discussing this online might be more daunting. Or maybe it's easier because it's less personal? Either way, thank you. I hope you guys are feeling less stressed about your job, or are atleast able to deal with the stress easier. This video really connected with me and I'm sure many more of your viewers. Lots of people appreciate + love you both, along with everything you create and help us learn.
Why are so many people concerned with his nails? Lol He painted his nails because he wanted to paint them.
I legit haven’t seen a single comment about nails tf are you talking about?
Nobody is talking about his nails
@@adrianna986 this comment was made 11 months ago. People were more than likely Talking about them back then and the comments were drowned by more recent comments
Men don't paint nails noob
@@legitdrawings49 Yes they do. How about you stop being ignorant and come out of you're little stereotypical bubble. People can wear whatever the fuck they want
For me it really helps to talk someone, but sometimes I'm so anxious that I can't even send a text to anyone. Listening to music helps also for me, so does trying to breathe slowly. And one thing I rarely do even though I could do it is to pet my dog. I've also heard this one thing that does help anxiety. You just need to look around and find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, two things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. It gives you something to think about and it helps when you feel that you lost all control about your surroundings. I have done this only few times but it worked.
Marijuana helps too.
Militant Pacifist 😂😂 what im trying to avoid .. Uhh
for some people and for others it may trigger a anxiety attack from the thought that your mind is way too calm
I stopped smoking weed in 1997. It actually is a bad doctor.
Can you elaborate on this?I wanna try that
Militant Pacifist it depends on the person. For me, it gave me terrible anxiety attacks
I have very severe anxiety and I've been told time after time to not only focus on calming my anxiety mentally, but calming myself physically. Take deep breaths. Tense all of your muscles from your face to your toes, then let go. Take a stretch break. Go for a walk. Anxiety and mental and physical so you have to work on both. Exercise and eating healthy are as important as going to therapy
When I do talk to other people about my anixety or need to vent, they think all I do is bitch. Um no, sometimes I repeat the a event so that I can rationalize it when I speak it out loud several times. How do I explain to people I'm not bitching, it's my anixety and I need to rationalize it?
Laura Gadille if you wanna talk, go ahead, I'll listen if it's worth anything.
I dealt with anxiety what helps me is to learn new languages talk stimulating convo with friends and sing karaoke by myself convince yourself your growing and learning.
The wrinkles in that shirt is distracting!!
Michaela Walter are*
Your improper grammar is distracting!!
Videos on anxiety often make me anxious, but this time it really soothed me down. Thanks for the HALT! I have noticed that the process of cooking reduces my anxiety significantly, no doubt I've been eating a lot lately. BTW, loving your patched shirt!
I like the H.A.L.T., I'll ave to try that more often :)
work out, deep breaths, go the fuck outside, be with yourself and learn to enjoy it, animals, animals, animals, talk to someone, get involved in a story (book, series, movie etc), tea time, decide your own thoughts, see the where it wants to lead you and try to avoid those types of thoughts, replace them with an idea, easy going plan etc ..... idk this is what I do
Thank you for this💜
These are all good tips for dealing with anxiety. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and find that some of these tips work for me. One of my favourite questions to ask myself is: Is there immediate danger to anyone? It helps give perspective to many situations.
Ahhhh!! I love Greg’s nail polish color!! So bold and beautiful! Color?
Hey, I've been struggling with anxiety all my life (diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder here), and here are the things that help me the most:
1. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, the thing that pretty much never fails is to remind myself that I'm making this bad and everything that's making me panic will not harm me. I look at my surroundings and remind myself that I'm safe and that everything will be alright.
2. WORK OUT. If working out were a medication, it'd be the most expensive, most beneficial medication out there. It helps so much in so many aspects of physical and mental health, making you feel better, have a nicer outlook on life, look better and just generally feel better thanks to that sweet sweet dopamine.
3. Realizing that I'm being anxious and that the way I'm feeling right now is clouding my perception of reality always helps me. Acknowledging that I'm feeling anxious or having a panic attack and that it'll go away eventually is a great way to relax.
4. YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE. That one is not necessarily easy to apply, but for me being told that everything was going to be ok by my parents always helped me feel much better, so I tried to tell myself that when I felt bad. I managed to convince myself that I was going to get schizophrenic or that I had cancer more than once, but none of those things happened. Managing to recognize that you're not being reasonable in your self diagnoses is important and has helped me tremendously in my day to day life.
5. Similarly to the previous one: be hopeful for the future, stay positive and stick to being positive. Look at me, I'm doing fine even though I have a generalized anxiety disorder. It's not the end of the world.
Have a nice day!
when you have aniexty go to the store and buy chamomile tea, kava, munca puries,

6. No, Rather have some space
7. To do list, No! More to overwhelm me.
8. Sometimes this help 50/50
9. Hard not to beat yourself up when feeling anxious, I try and be creative to help me.
10. Totally doesn’t help me to talk for the most part.
I like the nail color..
Jackie Cummings he s a fucking guy..
ValidGmodder I know that
ValidGmodder I can tell by their voices
right?? so pretty!! him waving his hands with coloured nails calmed me more than the video message/tips
ValidGmodder it's "nail polish" not "nail polish for women exclusively", grow up
I get anxious trying to work in the house thanks to an abusive parent who used housework as a weapon, and that's enough of an explanation as to the why. What I do to combat that anxiety is pull up one of my favorite TH-cam narrators with their creepy stories, or I listen to some intense music (search Leave's Eyes. That's the kind of thing). Funny, soft calming music only makes things harder. It gives me something to focus on rather than the housework, and that helps a lot. It's still difficult and slow going, but I can get it done without having a panic attack or massive depression attack.
Love the nail polish, Greg!
Hey guys! I was wondering what y'all think about religion... I am a Christian, not the trump loving gun loving hate spreading kind but I do believe in Jesus and all that shit... Even if what I believe is false I feel that it improves my mental health. What do y'all think? Just curious.
I think that is what has made religion so popular. Especially when there wasn't a scientific answer for everything, it gave people something to lean on thinking that it will be alright, god already planned it out for us
Religion made mine worse. I am agnostic now. That calms me so much more then the hate train of being told I am not good enough to go to heaven. Especially with practitioners who would deny people based on things that can not be changed. (Skin color, ethnicity, your gender etc). Why would that ever help?! So I don't believe in any religion at all. That helped my anxiety so much. You should try it.
My religion did. I am Christian too and it helped in a way that I could just lean back, say F it and give all my problems to God. Like people always stress me out and sometimes I get random anxiety attacks and I sometimes feel insecure,whether I did something right and like sometimes it helps to be like bruh I prayed today, I didn't hurt anyone and talking to Him sometimes, through panic attacks
I’ve found a lot of the time a major anxiety trigger for me is money. Writing in a calendar when all my bills are due and making a weekly schedule for making payments helps me control my spending, and know when it’s a good time to splurge, and when I need to scale back a little and watch my spending. I do this with school assignments too. Rather than waiting til a couple days before a test or assignment is due, I break down studying into manageable periods of 1hr at a time. Then I can check off each hour I get something done, and it’s really satisfying to see a list of check marks, instead of freaking out over how much I have to get done.
Weed has took me off my anti-depressants and reduced my anxiety down to base level. May not work for everyone but deffo worth a try if you're apprehensive about meds or want to come off them to get rid of the side effects like me.
Sadly, some of us are allergic to it. Personally, the smell makes me want to throw up, but the smoke gives me severe migraines. I can't even be in the same place with someone smoking it. :(
Marijuna gave me my first panic attack
If there was something I wished it was to never had used it, I was happy before, but after started to have panic attacks every night
It’s illegal in my country
Gabriel Coimbra OHMYGOSH SAME I feel like it's a super underrepresented opinion, but being around substances gives me most of my anxiety
I don't really experience anxiety or nerves too often. But yesterday, I found myself giving a presentation to about twenty people (nothing new for me, I've given dozens of presentations), and I looked up at my hand and saw I was completely shaking. It made me realise that because I don't experience anxiety often, I'm very under-equipped for when it does happen. So thanks for this video! I'll try to bear the tips in mind next time I'm unexpectedly nervy. :)
Greg your shirt, my Lanta. But you have very nice dimples to distract me from it. And I like the big picture strategy, I might try it. Also hi mitch! K peace
Thanks for making this video. It really helps. I have a lot of trouble with interviews, social events and parties.
One Ultimate Tip: Xanax
Big Lue need that shit homie
Better than xanax is invictus anti anxiety natural supplement. I'm off all meds because of it.
I have Toby. So whenever I'm having a panic attack i have this room in the middle of a void in my mind which has a chair in the middle and no roof. I sit on the chair and then comes Toby. He tells me things like "Everything's going to be okay" or "You're doing great" and positive stuff.
We're all going to die, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Your parents, your grandparents. Your siblings, cousins, friends, coworkers. They're all going to die.
All your cute little pets are going to die too. What, you think you're going to live forever?
Everyone in the comments will die.
The people in this video will die.
And nobody cares.
The fuck is wrong with you people.
I’ve done number 8 so many times and it can help. So many of our problems are small and insignificant in this mighty universe.
Anxious seeing red nails
I love this video. I've had generalized and social anxiety for years, and absolutely there are up days and down days. A lot of these tips do work, especially in the moment. It may never go away completely, but I think the important step is acknowledging what is happening to you and finding ways to manage it. The tips about making a detailed to-do list, and thinking about the 'big picture' are new things I hadn't considered before, so thank you
