"Stomach ache means we're awake!" 😅
All too accurate. Like if it didn't wake me up, it starts the minute I'm done sleeping 🙄
Yesss 😂😂😂 I hate it so much
For me its "Chest pain means we're awake"
For me it's chest pains. Oh my God, I feel so much anxiety in my chest all the time!
Chest pain here too.
Sometimes its like a heavy block of wood on top of it.. sometimes its like a hand squeezing the life out of it.
I was under the impression Joe runs a sandwich shop and eats grinders everyday, that is a treatment for anxiety but the side effect is indigestion...
"I'm in too deep, I gotta ride it out at this point" I felt this on a personal level
He said it to attack you, and TH-cam algorithm is in on it!
Me too.
👍🏾
I've said this a hundred times lol it's true, too.
All that suffering for.. not? Seeing the good part?... NOPE!
🫂💛
"I'm in too deep; I gotta ride it out at this point." Yeah.
So accurate
"Life is riddled with people," lol that's a golden line.
Having anxiety and getting on stage, god its a terrible feeling.
This man has skill i wish to master one day....
See my previous comment on mindfulness meditation. It's doable.
I've been a gigging musician for 15 years or so. I used to have trouble standing up in front of a crowd but eventually got over it. Now the rest of my anxiety has gotten worse lol
.
Bill Hader on SNL suffered panic/anxiety attacks day of the live shoot and sometimes even before sketches started.
According to Bill himself, the reason his character Stefon covers his face so much is to hide his mouth and wipe away tears-when he was “breaking” he said he was actually panicking
@@Max-zg2ci Ive always felt like Charlie from Its Always Sunny. I wanna perform and play for crowds, but I would love if I had a curtain I could hide behind haha.
@@Max-zg2ci,
The founder of the guided meditations app is a news anchor and his panic attack on live TV got him into meditation:

This really spoke to me in way that was unsettlingly-accurate. I actually finished the "If I knew now what I knew then, I woulda..." line almost in sync with Joe without thinking. In a weird way this is helpful. I have to run now and freak out about a thing I can't control until it becomes a problem- good luck, other anxious people!
You may be right about all of this… but where were the jokes? Just a bunch of virtue signaling really
See, i have this theorythat Anxious people ha e really good reflexes. Like do you scream very easily? Or, do you worry about small things because you don't want them to be big. But, yeah i also worry about very trivial things like what do other people thi k of me the moment i stop speaking.
Just know you’re not alone. Tons of people are fucked up lol
I finished his sentence the same way too.
I mean….
He gets it
You actually made me laugh. It’s nice to know I’m not freaking out alone!
I just love this kind of comedy, its like a one on one therapy session. Empathy is a truly beautiful thing
Because so few people have it.
“The people that don’t suffer from anxiety, are the people who cause anxiety”.
I understand that allot. My friend has anxiety and she tells me " stfu, you cause my anxiety!". So I've learned to be more helpful.
They're the ones who call you out of the blue or say stuff like "we need to talk" because they don't get how that could be taken negatively and you're just there, like, needing detailed warnings and explanations so you don't panic and assume the worst. 😩
Lol so true. 😂😭
They all cause me anxiety.
Female section I see🥱
As a performing musician that suffers from anxiety daily even after years of doing it. I still freak out before I get on stage and mentally blank for a moment before I hit the first note. I have managed to pull off solid performances but still it is insane.
I’m not a stage performer, but just recording at home, I can relate so much to that first note.
Even tho it’s just me, I ALWAYS get nervous after I hit the record button. And I ALWAYS screw up for several takes, sometimes for over an hour. To the point where I need to take a break and do something else. So I can’t even fathom doing it live in front of an audience. Cuz that’s one take. The only take you get, while you’re up there.
You can look at it this way: LOTS of pro performers screw up live, so it’s hard to be perfect every time, and in the case of comedians messing up or bombing 💣 they make a joke about even THAT and it relieves the awkward tension: if the crowd had any tension in the first place. I LOVE funny blooper reels when actors screw up or forget their lines, and it doesn’t even have to be a sitcom 😂
I took a voice acting class. It was just a class so mistakes were expected. I wasn’t nervous about the actual acting but making dumb mistakes like forgetting the rules about performance: such as not coughing into the mic, tapping something noisy like a zipper on my jacket during the recording, or forgetting that we sometimes improvised and altered our scripts; based on perspective changing when you would change the gender of the person we were addressing in a dialogue or commercial, e.g. 😆 I just tried to have self-awareness.
I bet it's helping more than harming your performance
Same!!!
"Stomachache means we're awake", as a nearly life-long ibs patient, I felt this one in the depths of my gut.
Lols
As a fellow sufferer I felt that line on a spiritual level. Do you ever laugh so hard you can’t breath and start to cough? That was me after that line
💩
when you start laughing, sneeze, and want to throw up all in the span of a few seconds 😅
Sometimes the truth is the funniest thing.
You meant everytime.. Life is one big joke that nobody understands so Just laugh at it and pretend you got it..
its everytime
Sometimes the truth is the only thing funny.
Yeah, these almost aren't even jokes, just how a lot if us feel
@@markobegus *meant
Crazy how everyone experiences anxiety differently but its the same feeling.
and how could you know that?
I'm incredibly calm & don't drink and now I'm self conscious 😂
butterflies in the stomach, all the waking time.
@@detroitmetro101 a feeling of impending doom sitting in your chest like a big chunk of metal, cold chill shooting up and down my spine and my entire body chilling before I start hyperventilating
The impending doom is the worst part like something bad might happen any moment but you have no idea what it could be
I was sold after the first punchline. Must now see more of Joe DeRosa's work!
Listen to Uninformed with him and Bill Burr a radio show they had.
❣
@@Josef_Favia
Thanks for posting
@@Josef_Faviaon spotify there are new episodes, where can i find the originals?
@@toptier2800 Right here on TH-cam
Not sure if he's a comedian or a prophet... but he's my new favorite.
For sure!
Listen to him on old o&a shows
He has podcast “taste buds” he’s pretty funny in it
His first Comedy Central half hour special is awesome. His but about hot nurses is so fucking funny
As someone that suffers from anxiety, I can say that the hardest roadblock was being able to logically reason with myself that none of what I was saying in my head (or the “voice”) had to be true. Y’know like maybe I’m not gonna fail this test, or even though this is my first time driving a long distance, I’ve been awake in more boring places like school or work for more time than I’m going to be driving, so maybe I can make it the whole way by myself. For me it’s about canceling out the negative thought with a potential positive alternative
Same boat. I won't go into detail but after you get passed the voice it gets easier lol
I tried that but it didn't help. Now I just go for neutral. Like maybe I will fail or maybe I won't, but let's just see what happens! Trying to balance w positivity was too much effort. It actually helps me to give in a bit sometimes too.
This is a horrible method for dealing with anxiety, but continue if it truly works for you. Nothing is guaranteed to go well or to go bad. It's probably a better idea instead of focusing on the "maybe it won't all go wrong" part to focus on the "It's going to be okay even if it goes wrong" part.
@@urs6onfuturas975how do you get past the voice?
@@MRios1128 For me, the only thing that more or less works is to try changing the attitude: "I did my best to prepare for the event. There's just nothing more I can do, and if something goes wrong, it's not my fault." Also, I try to reduce the importance of the event: "It is not a world-changing event. It won't cause any major harm to anyone if something goes wrong." Of course, I most often end up experiencing anxiety anyway, but at least I have those anchoring thoughts to focus on. Also, I work hard to convince myself that only people and deep relations are important. Everything else - exams, money, even a job - is not worth stressing about. However, I don't have any loans and I have some savings, so I can afford to not stress about my job anymore, at least for some time.
The camera person pushing in added an extra funny edge without him giving into anxious movement
Going through my first depression since getting sober 530ish days ago and just appreciate Joe so much! 🙌
🫂💛
Keep going, dude! Proud of you!
@@AG-iu9lv
I am right there with ya. Even if there has been a renewed relationship with a substance I stand with you in spirit on every Day 1 down to Minute 1.
This can happen and no one is anything but still in the effort.
You deserve the life you want. I hope it is in that direction for you.
Man, this comedian is literally speaking what's on my mind MOST of the time.
I’m so anxious that I haven’t drank from fear of being an alcoholic. Now THATS what I call anxiety.
I like to put my phone on the toilet when I'm showering because I'm scared that I'll have a darn heart attack while showering and I'll need to call 911.
Joe is one of my favorite all time comics. I love him because he speaks the truth. He's as brutally funny as he is honest. Killer artwork on that set, I bet it's from his collection.
The people that don't have anxiety, cause anxiety and that isn't the least bit funny(because it's so true).
TLDR: I have a bad anxiety disorder I've struggled with for years. I take meds. I refuse to be a victim to it. It still affects my life but I'm glad to be alive today despite many days really feeling like a battle.
Pretty damn accurate in regards to anxiety as a disorder vs normal stress and anxiety. I hate how people that try to use it as an excuse or to paint themselves as a victim if they do have it. I have suffered from crippling hellacious anxiety for the majority of my life and when I was first diagnosed over 11 years ago I developed a victim mentality. The anxiety I have isn't just mental it's also very physical; quite literally crippling depression from neuromuscular / muscular tension that makes it feel like my muscles are being pulled so tight that they are about to snap. Anyways a few years into having depression I found this comedian named Duncan Trussell when searching TH-cam for something like 'natural ways to overcome depression'. Duncan has this beautiful no BS rant about framing depression as this beast like the devil and that there are some simple things anyone can do to not fall victim to it and instead to truly thrive in spite of it. From that day on it changed my entire outlook not just on depression but life. A truly life changing video for me. After that I fell into the rabit hole of the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast but I was listening to (a lot of) the stuff he was suggesting on his podcast like simply exercising and doing push ups and "mindfulness" (as cringe as that word has become). I refuse to be a victim to this disease. I'm determined to live life the best I can even with this hell. I hated getting on meds and after a few years I stopped and quickly took a nosedive back to that familiar hell of isolation and unspeakable thoughts. Eventually after intensive therapy for years I got back on medication to the lowest effective dose without all the half dozen pills they had me on before. I found what medication actually worked without side effects worse than the condition. Prior to finding the right doctors I felt like I was a guinea pig. I still think for a lot of people these doctors are just out here handing out scripts like "give this a try it might work maybe not". All the stuff I was on before made me feel like a zombie. The depression was numbed but so was the rest of my life. Nothing got me excited including in the bedroom and that was the last straw. Alright I've written a long enough comment that most people reading should understand I have a mental illness.
Sorry
Everyone needs to vent 😉
Do you have it in your wrists and feel it in your brain? I have the muscles clenching up so badly. Do you still have it?
Wim Hof is the man that can help you
Am I the only one whose anxiety was triggered by the size of this comment? Wtf?
I also have anxiety, it's usually when I'm forced to be around people I don't like being around.
Love it. Really enjoy people informing on mental health problems in an accessible way that everyone else actually wants to listen to.
As someone who has spent almost all of his life in Arizona, I concur. The happiest day of my life will be when I get to leave here for good.
Damn that bad? Lol
How bad is it there? What are the issues? Racism? Thinking of living there in the near future
Bro I keep moving and then ending up back here. Every time I’m in Phoenix I spend 90% of my time actively thinking about how to get out of Phoenix for good.
You're not alone. PA sux, too. Too many laws, codes, regulations, permits, bull💩 And, every place is getting MUCH WORSE. It's all a dog & pony show, part of a GIANT Socialistic plan. Enjoy every minute of "freedom," cause it's soon gonna be GONE FOR GOOD 🥺👁🗺⌛🎎
@@traceyroyer993 lmao PA is socialist? You’re insane if you think that.
When I come back to earth after a panic attack I be like oh " I finally landed"🤣🤣🤣😔
"Stomach ache means I'm awake." That is so accurate for me the explanation is too long for a YT comment
People just need to realize everyone else is just as fucked up as you THINK you are, no matter the persona they put on for the rest of us to see. As the saying goes, picture your audience naked and the anxiety melts a little more every time.
0:49 The camera person deserves major props for that zoom!
For those going through it (esp those that have to go to the hospital for it), there is a brighter tomorrow. But with regards to booze, you may need to be honest with how that’s contributing. I don’t regret having kicked it. Helped not worsen my symptoms.
It’s *you* that’s going to have to get you through it. It will be step by step, but you can
Greetings from Iran🙋🌷 I'm suffering from another 'anxiety attack' (or whatever it is, no doctor gave me a firm diagnosis here). Even when it hits me in the "mildest" possible form, I just want my life to end.
And yes, others have no idea what you're going through.
And when you have this monstrous disease in a more close-minded society (where the financial situation and the job market are terrible, you have no jobs, and you're an irreligious 34-y-old still living with your religious family) it IS much worse
“If I knew then what I knew now, I would have killed myself” - I felt this way too deeply lmao
I deal with anxiety, depression, ptsd, bipolar, and autism. My mind looks like a slinky that went through the dryer.
“This hasn’t been worth the effort. But I’m in too deep I gotta ride it out at this point” 😂😂😂
I've never had a drink because my family has a history of alcoholism. I'm afraid to become addicted.
Im on the same boat homie
you’re good
You know you can drink your fears away, right?
HALF my family is alkies yet I can’t seem to handle (low tolerance) or enjoy alcohol like they can so for me, alcoholism is NOT an option; even if I tried 😆 So much for ‘genetics’!
I on the other hand tried every drink I was recommended by my friend and family. I hate the taste. The only drinks I enjoy are fruity sweet ones, and they get better when there is no alcohol. So I just gave up, never drank a single drop of anything with alcohol the last decade because I know I will hate it.
Didn’t realize how much I love DeRosa until I had to suffer 2 weeks without him on Taste Buds and had to look for him elsewhere. Q was good but he can’t replace this grump.
Sometimes I feel like I just have normal anxiety about things. Then I have to run the table at my McDonald's job (making the sandwiches) completely by myself for however long. That's when my whole body starts feeling tight, my breathing gets shallow, I can't breathe easily or steadily, my vision tunnels and blurs, outside noise dies except for the constant incessant beep of the screen, and then I realize I'm having a full blown panic attack before spasming to the floor and passing out for 4 hours. But I still think it's totally normal every day anxiety. I can tough it out, probably.
Do they pay you for the 4 hours?
@@scottmcwave9479 if they forget to correct it yes, but it only happened once so far luckily
I'll put it to you this way friend. Your experience is the result of: many people before you cutting corners to make a profit.
So sorry, it can be better. Insurance? Consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Stillness and meditation are free. Take care
I woke up so depressed and now am just laughing around the house sayin, "if I knew then what I know now"
Waking up with depression is the opposite: damn, still here... Unconsciousness was good while it lasted...
"I love life...i hate people." This man is a genius lol
This guy really gets it. I’ve watched this about 50 times today 😂🤣😂
My Anxiety disorder is more impactful on my life than my bi polar condition.
I have anxiety and bipolar 1 but my mania presents as intense anxiety. It used to be AWFUL before I got medicine for it. I can't describe how bad it was but it felt physically painful and I was convinced I was going to die every single day. I couldn't sleep because I mistook my heartbeat for an intruder's footsteps. So I feel you. I still do deal with anxiety everyday, just not the same kind.
How would you know? A good portion of your anxiety has to have legitimate origins in your bi polar disorder.
@@redrick8900 While comorbidity exists, it’s still possible for one to impact your daily life more than the other.
I, myself, am currently diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I’d say anxiety worsens the other 2 all day, everyday.
I got over my anxiety by being chased by a bunch of dudes with machetes. Now everything seem trivial by comparison hahaha.
Hold up....
This man was speaking straight facts about having anxiety and the people that don't have it can't get it through their thick skulls that they're the ones causing it, because they're unempathetic to the pain that one is feeling. Wake up people. We are all one. Their pain is all of our pains.
How r they causing it? What do they do?
@@jojox3321 Like I said, they're unempathetic. Look it up.
@@chuckd2025 because i cant understand your pain u have anxiety? its my fault that u have it?
Jojo if your first reflex is to be argumentative then you probably do induce anxiety for people around you and might be the type to think it’s funny when it happens. If your inquiry was more genuine and empathetic, which you don’t identify with in the second comment you made, then it’d be more inquisitive than it is antagonistic. But Yes, a lack of empathy is a huge indication of psychopathy and sociopathy and in every court case you will notice the zero remorse of these types of people and how the judge takes that factor into high consideration. Its a huge factor for those diagnostics too, & it’s those unempathetic people that create unsafe environments for others which lead to the development of a heightened alarm system to perceive threats quickly to navigate those environments safely, and that is literally how anxiety is developed. It’s a typical archetype of the narcissists and the empaths. Read up on some psychology books or something. It’s a simple cause and effect if you understand that the brain will adapt and evolve for survival.
@@J.S.4everyou need to hit reply so their name hyperlinks. Otherwise they don’t get a notification. Jojo probably never saw your comment.
1:24 he just described what my thoughts are on a daily basis in school WHY IS EVERYONE SO CALM?WHAT THE HELL DO THEY KNOW?
Those jokes were hitting me way harder and funnier than the crowd seem to take it lmao
WANT. MORE. OF. THIS. GUY.
I would definitely be friends with this guy right here 😂
What a lovely cannibalistic painting behind him really just set's the scene.👌
Joe is criminally underrated.
"This dog was a mistake. Let's be honest."
"Two-thirds desert? Let's make it all-thirds desert."
*Dessert
I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💚
0:24 is true asf 🤣🤣🤣
4:20 this man dropping knowledge
This just popped up in my feed and I'm so glad! This guy is freaking hilarious!
I liked all of this except the daylight savings thing. I lived in Arizona for years, and that was the best part. Please please please do yourself a favor and vote to repeal it every time it comes up. It's an archaic policy that only hurts. Nobody benefits because of daylight savings.
Also it is ALL thirds desert. There's parts that aren't desert, but even if you lumped them all together its still not much.
Dude, you hit the nail on the head
Man I have an anxiety problem too. I've been doing really good lately, I sorta figured out how to manage things, everything is linked, mental and physical health. Can't have one without the other, and you have to put yourself in a position to succeed. Anyway for me these days inhave triggers. Some things just trigger anxiety it doesn't hit me often, I don't have to deal with it all day everyday anymore. The pandemic brought me to a fork in the trail and I had to get better, or get worse.
I had anxiety for a brief period of a few months almost two years ago. But that time of my life felt like it lasted an eternity. Being used to depression but not fear, I ran straight to the psychologist where I hadn't been to in a decade just to figure out how to get rid of it. It's an entirely different animal. Waking up scared, like he says, was the worst part of it for me. Even though it went away on its own, it was so awful that I still worry about it coming back.
The set and back drop is fucking amazing! I love that fucking set so much!!!! Joe KILLS IT naturally! Such talent.
00:47 I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Spot on.
" thats not a threat, by the way "
🤣🤣
SO CARING... 😁 🥰
Never found a comedy video more relatable, geez.
Anxiety is the worst. I feel this guy's whole set.
Joe truly is an underrated comic
but his sandwiches are on point and appreciated.

Oh my god is this my new favorite act? I think so.
Yeah i have the worst anxiety every day lmao i can relate to this 110%
Spot on!
Now I know why Sal proves his point about the points that point at him, to Joe almost every episode. 😂
To all those suffering anxiety I pray God gives you the peace you so desire. ☺️🙏🏽
As someone who suffers from anxiety and has never had a drink, Joe wouldn’t know how to feel about me.
Hey Joe - love your work, it's funny because it's true!
Best veterinerian ever
⭐️I’m bookmarking this to just show people instead of wasting my breath to explain from now on👍 At least we can get a good laugh out of all the b.s. we go through…so it doesn’t go to waste!😉
A whole lotta truth in this one.
Funny and informative.
Lmao depression dampens the launching out of bed symptom for me. Would highly recommend, it's very effective at giving you a few extra minutes --hours-- of sleep!
Man I needed this laugh early in the morning
Having a very bad day and this resonated and maybe even helped
I love Joe! So funny 😂 and true
I thought this was the Subway dude was bouta say "WHO LET HIM FREE?"
Love you Joey, keep doing you my man, all of the love ever!!!
This helped me so much
THAT ONE LAUGH IN THE BACK I CAN’T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
