Quite a complex and sensitive topic that we thought was both important and hopefully interesting to discuss, but as we mentioned, it's a complex topic and we are far from experts on this, so if you have any clarifications, corrections or suggested notes you'd like us to add to this pinned comment, please reply to this and we'll add it below. Wishing you all well, Bach and Arthur
Norepinephrine is an American term. Epinephrine is a word used in the states instead of adrenaline. Similarly, in the UK we call norepinephrine noradrenaline, it is a key neurotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is just a way of summarising/grouping the neurones in the body which exert the effects of stress which you discussed. So for instance norepinephrine, or noradrenaline, is released from neurones which travel to the heart, which causes its pacemaker to fire faster. Arousal in this context might not be sexual; it can also mean the level of stress/alertness experienced. I am a 3rd year medical student hope this helps.
Anxiety is so hard, especially when you consider it can be a trait of a neurodivergency such as ASD or ADHD because the usual tips and tricks don't work. Anxiety has absolutely screwed with my life but it's nice to hear it be spoken about properly xx
I’m glad you guys are enjoying the episode! I’m very grateful that we can speak about these topics with you guys without any fear of judgement, especially with something so personal like this. Anxiety is something I struggled with for a long time but I want you guys to know that it doesn’t define you and shouldn’t be a taboo topic. Talking to close ones definitely helps and telling yourself you CAN do things is so important when you feel/are told you can’t
@@ItalianBach thank you so much Bach. This means literally so much to me and many more I’m sure. Anxiety sucks ASS and it’s great to see you talk about it and your experiences!
This actually made me emotional. This is such a sweet, important message to read. I love both of you and to have comfort creators who really do care about mental health issues and their fans is so amazing 🩷
This episode came at the perfect time for me. I have struggled with anxiety since I was a kid but always tried to not let it hold me back. I’m going abroad for half a year soon .I felt so anxious about wether I’ll be okay in a foreign country where I don’t know the language properly. This unsureness just made me more anxious 😭. But I’ve been abroad before and I’m sure I can do it again even if it gets tough at times. It feels nice to know you are not alone and that there are ways to manage it
Obviously anyone shedding light on these topics is important but you two as men speaking about these things is making people who might not usually listen to chime in and hear you out. So grateful for you boys you seem so genuine and lovely it’s really refreshing, we all have mental health and not all of us have mental illnesses but they should all be spoken about!
Ugh I get it so that almost every morning (no trigger) I’m just so anxious for the day ahead that I feel sick? Like when you’re so nervous you feel nauseous. It’s so frustrating having this when there’s almost always no reason, but you feel like you’re always forgetting something crucially important
One of the favourite things I’ve heard is “being scared is okay because you’re about to be brave” and I apply that to literally every aspect of my life
Fun fact from my doctor! (writing this early on so assuming it’s not covered) but the reason as to why you get nervous shits/are sick when anxious - as you were wondering! - goes back to fight or flight and fear response when humans were living in the wild, the body would need to ‘release’ anything inside them that might hinder your ability to be in a prime state to run from a danger or a predator! :)
54:33 I agree with this 100% 😭 I prefer to listen to people who just yap because I want to know what makes that person the way they are. I'm a much better listener because I often overthink, and by the time I've figured out what to say, the conversation has moved on. I appreciate yappers more than they will ever know :]
Oh my same! I have so much to say at the same time though because of that and then later overthink what I could've said if I put the thoughts together and wasn't scared to speak up
The best advice I've seen about anxiety that's literally changed my entire life is 'Do it scared'. Anxious about doing something new? Do it scared. What stopped me overcoming anxiety for so long is the idea that you need to stop being anxious to do things, you don't! Usually, you can't !! The most ridiculous thing about anxiety is that you need to do scary things to make it better (almost paradoxical). Ever since I've just started doing things scared I've achieved so much and gotten over so many little fears and anxieties that I honestly feel like a completely different person !!
I do this as well, when i feel anxious about things i take it as a sign to go for it. Even if it turns out to be something i did not enjoy. The dread that something terrible could happen goes away an i feel more capable. Avoidance increases my anxiety a lot, so i try to face even the most "mundane" things.
I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was younger and it is something I battle with every single day. I have missed so many big days and I feel so many people do not understand the severity and effect it can have on people’s lives. I really appreciate you guys talking about this topic and bringing awareness to it. Thank you. And to anyone struggling with any sort of anxiety sending love and prayers
31:42 “I’ve heard that before” it was Arthur…on the pod😭😭😭 Kinda funny that its come up twice, idk what ep it was but I remember TV talking abt how depression used to be referred to as melancholia.
I have autism and EDS and there’s studies showing a link to higher anxiety and depression! Also if you’re double jointed then there’s a study showing you’re more likely to suffer from anxiety as well!
yesss I don’t have EDS but I am hypermobile and I’m on the spectrum with anxiety as well. I know a few people with a similar diagnosis who also have epilepsy.
I’m so glad you guys discussed this. This video sort of reassured me and made me feel less alone in my experiences. I feel anxious 24/7. Going into shops or school, any social interaction and just stupid small things make me extremely anxious. All my family are very outgoing and social. I hate that I’m like this, I want to talk to people and meet new people. People who don’t know me just see me as boring and quiet. I do make attempts at talking to people and doing things that stress me out in order to build a resistance and get used to it but it just doesn’t work. I feel as though I’m missing out on so much in life because of it
arthur is so real with the health anxiety, mine has been really bad this week and this has actually eased it. your podcast is actually really meaningful and after giving me fear of brain worms, other anxieties have gotten better thanks to this episode. not to get cringe on main but thank you 🙏
I’m so glad u spoke about anxiety! I’m 18 and I’ve been anxious my whole life, every single day was and is a struggle. But earlier this year I got diagnosed with autism as well as an anxiety to the point where I have the worst anxiety and panic attacks over anything, talking to people in a shop, leaving the house etc. Music is something that’s helped me so much! One of my favourite artists is Declan McKenna and if I feel like I’m about to have a panic attack I will just play his whole discography cause it’s something I’m familiar with and something I find comfort with! As well as these podcasts help me relax and unwind and make me feel less anxious. Thank you for these podcasts. 🤍 I’m editing while I’m watching: I did cheerleading for 13 years of my life, I would compete in front of loads of people and have the time of my life! Ever since I quit my anxiety gets worse over anything like I said leaving the house which makes me so anxious. I recently joined a gym and started off small such as swimming and after I feel so much better once I’m back home, cause I feel refreshed and excercised!
This was such an interesting and informtive episode to listen to! I've struggled with GAD and Social Anxiety Disorder for a while now and I haven't actually looked much into the causes and history and all of that stuff. I feel like I learnt so much more about the disorders that impact my life. Will definitely start reading up more on it. Thank you for another great episode
This episode was so interesting. As someone who has suffered with anxiety constantly for a lot of years now hearing your personal experiences has made me feel a lot more seen. Thank you for bringing more light onto this subject❤
The bit about driving lessons actually resonates me so much 😭😭 I'm learning to drive rn and I feel so bad for the people after me cause I sweat so much cause I'm anxious 💀
This was such a meaningful and well-composed talk, you two handled this sensitive matter amazingly and from someone who has been at the receiving end of anxiety-related problems forever, thank you for speaking about it so well
As someone with quite bad anxiety, bach’s little motivational speech made me tear up. Who knew two TH-camrs could make such a difference on the way someone views themselves just from speeching. Keep it up! 🙏🏽
For a feature podcast mentioning anxiety I would recommend you delve into the history of anxiety in women. You mentioned London doctor using orgasms to relieve women’s anxiety but we’ve struggled for many disorders to be recognised in women (eg autism ADHD). Usually it being labelled as ‘hysteria’ due to lots misogyny of the time. Though these women the London doctor preformed on were consenting the doctor was vastly more educated and took that as an excuse to take advantage of these women. Regardless, I throughly enjoyed this episode as a sufferer of anxiety it’s so lovely to hear public figures especially men talk about these issues in such respectful ways. xx
As someone who suffers with anxiety, and takes medication to manage the symptoms, listening to this was so lovely and validating! Hearing you both talk about this, from the perspective of Bach having previously experienced it and Arthur having less first-hand experience, made me feel so seen. Talking about the real impacts and how rough it feels for those who do have it made me feel really understood 🫶🏻 Honestly love your guys podcast, the humorous, scientific and truly empathetic ways you handle topics are the best 😭
I’m a mental health therapist and I would love for you guys to discuss other diagnoses in the future! If you ever need professional input, I’d be happy to help (from America, sadly).
i dont usually comment on stuff but i wanted to thank u guys for talking about anxiety and how much it can really affect people. as someone with an anxiety disorder, i find it really difficult to leave the house but its weirdly comforting to know that im not alone. especially when bach talked about his experience and how he didnt think he’d be where he is now 5 years ago. it really gives me hope for myself. thank you ❤️
i travelled to london on my own for the first time today and it was a really negative experience, feeling super anxious and on edge all day. although usually i’m fine, driving and going to new places stresses me tf out! hearing you guys speak about it and bach specifically struggling in the same way made me feel like a bit of the weight was lifted. thanks guys!
Love that you guys tackle hard and important topics! Thank you for being open and honest with your own struggles as well Bach! This is honestly the best pod out there
I have panic disorder, and also got severe anxiety on top of that ( my psychiatrist must love me ) thank you for this video, it’s made me feel seen, understood and heard. It’s an amazing podcast. ❤
I’ve suffered with panic disorder for 4 years now, sometimes it’s dehumanising so I love when TH-camrs I watch talk about this topic. It’s so great for people to not feel alone 🫶
thank you for speaking about this topic- it's so refreshing to see our favourite creators (and anyone with a platform) speak on these things, it opens up very important discussions! I've suffered from an anxiety disorder for a long time and have never known much about the science of it so that was really interesting to hear about as well
panic attacks induce a terrible feeling, it feels like you are genuinely doomed as dramatic as that sounds and that everything is fucked, for lack of a better word. i can genuinely say its the worst thing i've ever gone through. props to anyone who goes through anxiety and panic attacks regardless of how serious it is, its hard to truly understand how much suffering there is involved in it unless you've gone through it yourself
i always loveee the serious episodes, like i love the silly eps but the serious ones like the one with chris talking about religion are so nice to listen to and u guys having serious conversations
i have a very similar kind of anxiety that bach was describing in his experience, i literally thought i was a bit mental because every time i mentioned it people would tell me i was being ridiculous or that i should get over myself, so it’s reassuring to know that i’m not the only one feeling that way
i have a lot of health anxiety, probably hypochondira, so hearing you guys discuss it so openly was so comforting. a lot of people treat others with health anxiety (and most kinds of anxiety, really) as just being overly dramatic, so this was such a refreshing way to hear it talked about ❤
As someone who has health anxiety and regular anxiety disorders this episode was great to get others who necessarily haven't experienced it actually try to understand it. Im in the same boat as arthur in the sense of the whole headache thing ive had a headache for weeks and im currently convinced im dying of a brain tumour so im so glad he mentioned that its helped a lot.
I’m struggling with anxiety everyday just knowing what is happening in the world while I’m so privileged to sit and home and just be able to hear about the terrors instead of living them 😭🇵🇸
This is such a wonderful episode. I’ve had an anxiety disorder since I was a child, but back then it wasn’t talked about at all. I would refuse to go to places as a kid and when I became a teenager, it got to the point where I was sick every morning before school because I was so anxious. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was doing a teaching degree and between that and therapy, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Talking about it, understanding that constant worry and dread and panic isn’t normal helped change my life. I’m sure this episode will help so many people ❤️
My history course this semester focuses on the history of violence, and our first topic was looking at trauma, anxiety, and PTSD and how it was conceptualized and studied. So, it was really cool and kind of ironic that this was the topic for the podcast. I Absolutely loved it!
bach actually helped a lot when i was going through a rough patch a few months ago, it sounds silly but his tiktoks really did help me and improved my mood a lot. i appreciate you two speaking on mental health in a society that seems to think it 'doesnt exist'
i study dietetics and in recent years the relation between diet and many different conditions and diseases has been found. Vitamin D deficiency can often lead to low mood which is why some people may experience seasonal depression (the main source of vitamins D is from UV rays from sunlight however many cereals and foods are now fortified with it). Overall the food we eat can impact our lives so much more than most people realise, however, you should enjoy all food and never restrict your eating but instead be more conscious of what you put in your body!
I actually had to stop my driving test because my anxiety caused my knees to shake so much I couldn’t control the clutch. Luckily my driving teacher managed to ask the examiner to give me another go the same day instead of failing me.
As a psychology student the hypocratic humour is a topic that we studied in almost every subject, not because its true but for being the first reference that psychologist can go back to. And to me is such an interesting topic because is comparable to zodiac signs, every person falls into a type of humour: melancholic for black byle (because mela means dark like in melatonine), choleric for yellow byle, flematic for flem and sanguine for blood. And when someone presented somo kind of mental suffering they would drain the humour that was causing the illness. And a current vestige of the humours is the personality type A, wich is proven to be predisposed to have heart attacks
6:01 personally, I suffer from anxiety disorder and it mostly shows with physical symptoms. The biggest one is the swallowing, making it so hard to eat because of the costant feeling of choking. Follows up sleep apnea, where my nose completely closes up and along all breathing channels. It feels like a full body shut down and like you could die right there, every night. As you guys have mentioned, it's hard because if at first it started with some triggers (which i was however unable to clearly identify), it has now become a daily basis issue that makes everyday life burdensome. I unfortunately got it checked too late so now theres no go back...if anyone is feeling more anxious than ever, def see a professional!
When I was a teenager I used to be very anxious about my family members dying. It was so bad I couldn’t sleep properly for a year or two because all I would do is worry at night. Now that I’m 25 I experience anxiety in a more physical way than I used to but the intrusive thoughts have become way less.
as someone who was diagnosed with anxiety literally when I was 10 these conversations are absolutely fascinating to me, I think it’s so important to share experiences and discuss the actual science behind it. Absolutely perfect.
I enjoyed this episode as someone with generalised anxiety disorder. Something I find interesting is how anxiety and other disorders tie into the immune system. When I was struggling with anxiety at the age of 14 I remember how much Zoella helped me.
love love love that you’re talking about this especially even now because it’s such a taboo topic and shouldn’t be seen as embarrassing as it’s so common, amazing episode and educational but funny as always 💖💖
Studying mental health in college has learnt me to understand that anxiety is normally the base plate for more complex and confusing conditions like ocd and eupd. Anxiety can be hormonal, genetic but you normally develop it from being around people who suffer it like a cat developing ur personality. When not treated anxiety is commonly the cause for developing a range of mental conditions When you are young you soak up information like a wet sponge so normally it is developed very young. Alike to childhood asthma
as someone who struggles with anxiety quite badly i never really thought to know much of the history about it so this was really comforting to watch, not only knowing so many people you may not know also struggle with it too, but seeing that it’s very much so been around since the beginning! it’d be so amazing to do another episode with a guest who possibly advocates for anxiety and mental health on social media and talk about their experience and how they tackled it/ their best tactics too!

"we're the most heterosexual people ever" the way they look at each other suggests otherwise lads.
which could mean nothing 😔
I feel like the couch was Arthurs idea so Bach doesn't have a spare arm rest area for his soundboard
petition to have a built in soundboard in the new couch so true
i wonder how many queefs they have to cut out
Read this as Bach said to add something of value to the comments haha
at least 4
I hate the sense of looming doom when you have a panic attack and it just feels like your brain is betraying you
How did you comment before the video came out? Is there an early access thing
@@Squidditch it comes out, usually, a day earlier if you’re subscribed to their Patreon!

I think one of the worst things about anxiety is how out of control it makes you feel
Learning to control the things that you can is such a difficult but important thing to learn

we need the “bach teaches us how to breath properly” podcast ep😮💨
Fun fact from my doctor!

Yesss my school therapist told me this a couple months ago. This one fact got me feeling happy that I know something they don’t 😎😎😎
that's so true I was going to say the same thing! Your sympathetic nervous system directs blood and energy to more 'important' and vital areas
need a ''Bach and Arthur do/try drag'' episode because you two would make gorgeous women
what are you talking about they already are gorgeous women

Great to see that besides the silly episodes you also discuss serious stuff , good job :)

i dont usually comment on stuff but i wanted to thank u guys for talking about anxiety and how much it can really affect people. as someone with an anxiety disorder, i find it really difficult to leave the house but its weirdly comforting to know that im not alone. especially when bach talked about his experience and how he didnt think he’d be where he is now 5 years ago. it really gives me hope for myself. thank you ❤️

@@Emily-bo6pc I've been asking for a couple of eps now and still nothing, I'm getting worried🥲
This pod has just reminded me to continue my mewing streak😼
having my favourite youtubers talking about something i suffer with makes me happy lmao
the lighting and whole production has improved drastically!!! love that
i travelled to london on my own for the first time today and it was a really negative experience, feeling super anxious and on edge all day. although usually i’m fine, driving and going to new places stresses me tf out! hearing you guys speak about it and bach specifically struggling in the same way made me feel like a bit of the weight was lifted. thanks guys!
Love that you guys tackle hard and important topics! Thank you for being open and honest with your own struggles as well Bach! This is honestly the best pod out there
I have panic disorder, and also got severe anxiety on top of that ( my psychiatrist must love me ) thank you for this video, it’s made me feel seen, understood and heard. It’s an amazing podcast. ❤
I’ve suffered with panic disorder for 4 years now, sometimes it’s dehumanising so I love when TH-camrs I watch talk about this topic. It’s so great for people to not feel alone 🫶
thank you for speaking about this topic- it's so refreshing to see our favourite creators (and anyone with a platform) speak on these things, it opens up very important discussions! I've suffered from an anxiety disorder for a long time and have never known much about the science of it so that was really interesting to hear about as well
as a psychology student i frequently revisit this podcast episode it’s so interesting
panic attacks induce a terrible feeling, it feels like you are genuinely doomed as dramatic as that sounds and that everything is fucked, for lack of a better word. i can genuinely say its the worst thing i've ever gone through. props to anyone who goes through anxiety and panic attacks regardless of how serious it is, its hard to truly understand how much suffering there is involved in it unless you've gone through it yourself
oh how i love a good bach and arthur thursday
Love how Bach just did exposure therapy on himself without needing a therapist to tell him. You guys are very smart, loving the podcast.
i always loveee the serious episodes, like i love the silly eps but the serious ones like the one with chris talking about religion are so nice to listen to and u guys having serious conversations
i’ve had severe social anxiety my whole life and i’m currently stressing at the moment so i’m so glad this episode is out :)
My favourite podcast! I love the way you guys talk about such a broad range of topics each episode, it’s refreshing
As someone who has dealt with heavy amounts of anxiety in the past, you both have just hit the jackpot with the way you have spoken about this topic.
i have a very similar kind of anxiety that bach was describing in his experience, i literally thought i was a bit mental because every time i mentioned it people would tell me i was being ridiculous or that i should get over myself, so it’s reassuring to know that i’m not the only one feeling that way
i have a lot of health anxiety, probably hypochondira, so hearing you guys discuss it so openly was so comforting. a lot of people treat others with health anxiety (and most kinds of anxiety, really) as just being overly dramatic, so this was such a refreshing way to hear it talked about ❤

As someone who has health anxiety and regular anxiety disorders this episode was great to get others who necessarily haven't experienced it actually try to understand it.
Im in the same boat as arthur in the sense of the whole headache thing ive had a headache for weeks and im currently convinced im dying of a brain tumour so im so glad he mentioned that its helped a lot.
I really appreciate you guys talking about these topics in a more educational and empathetic way:)
😮💨
I’m struggling with anxiety everyday just knowing what is happening in the world while I’m so privileged to sit and home and just be able to hear about the terrors instead of living them 😭🇵🇸
You guys actually helped through a very hectic period when I was quite anxious. Thanks, fellas! :•)
I love the way they deliver the topics and science facts so smoothly that keep me completely focused and interested in the podcast :))
another great topic!! this has to be the best podcast ever
the way that this podcast has made me more focussed and studious is insane
This is such a wonderful episode. I’ve had an anxiety disorder since I was a child, but back then it wasn’t talked about at all. I would refuse to go to places as a kid and when I became a teenager, it got to the point where I was sick every morning before school because I was so anxious. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was doing a teaching degree and between that and therapy, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Talking about it, understanding that constant worry and dread and panic isn’t normal helped change my life. I’m sure this episode will help so many people ❤️
Omg they dedicated an episode just for me x
My history course this semester focuses on the history of violence, and our first topic was looking at trauma, anxiety, and PTSD and how it was conceptualized and studied. So, it was really cool and kind of ironic that this was the topic for the podcast. I Absolutely loved it!
bach actually helped a lot when i was going through a rough patch a few months ago, it sounds silly but his tiktoks really did help me and improved my mood a lot. i appreciate you two speaking on mental health in a society that seems to think it 'doesnt exist'
i study dietetics and in recent years the relation between diet and many different conditions and diseases has been found. Vitamin D deficiency can often lead to low mood which is why some people may experience seasonal depression (the main source of vitamins D is from UV rays from sunlight however many cereals and foods are now fortified with it). Overall the food we eat can impact our lives so much more than most people realise, however, you should enjoy all food and never restrict your eating but instead be more conscious of what you put in your body!
thank you so much for talking on this topic in a respectful and intellectual way!! love you both 🩵
I actually had to stop my driving test because my anxiety caused my knees to shake so much I couldn’t control the clutch.
Luckily my driving teacher managed to ask the examiner to give me another go the same day instead of failing me.
This is a big reason why I've failed 3 times. My leg shakes and I can't concentrate x
@@jasminemcmahon3893🙁I’m sorry to hear that…
As a psychology student the hypocratic humour is a topic that we studied in almost every subject, not because its true but for being the first reference that psychologist can go back to. And to me is such an interesting topic because is comparable to zodiac signs, every person falls into a type of humour: melancholic for black byle (because mela means dark like in melatonine), choleric for yellow byle, flematic for flem and sanguine for blood. And when someone presented somo kind of mental suffering they would drain the humour that was causing the illness. And a current vestige of the humours is the personality type A, wich is proven to be predisposed to have heart attacks
Just booked into therapy the other day for anxiety related issues. So big ups for talking about it in such a positive manner.
listening to the philosophers ideas after finishing a level philosophy made me feel like a genius
I love this kind of episode style!! it just feels so honest and like sort of a safe place, love it!! :)))
6:01 personally, I suffer from anxiety disorder and it mostly shows with physical symptoms. The biggest one is the swallowing, making it so hard to eat because of the costant feeling of choking. Follows up sleep apnea, where my nose completely closes up and along all breathing channels. It feels like a full body shut down and like you could die right there, every night.
As you guys have mentioned, it's hard because if at first it started with some triggers (which i was however unable to clearly identify), it has now become a daily basis issue that makes everyday life burdensome. I unfortunately got it checked too late so now theres no go back...if anyone is feeling more anxious than ever, def see a professional!
this resonates with me
Just finished a batch vid and came right on it!
I mean in it, no I mean right to it.
I came to it aswell
When I was a teenager I used to be very anxious about my family members dying. It was so bad I couldn’t sleep properly for a year or two because all I would do is worry at night. Now that I’m 25 I experience anxiety in a more physical way than I used to but the intrusive thoughts have become way less.
as someone who was diagnosed with anxiety literally when I was 10 these conversations are absolutely fascinating to me, I think it’s so important to share experiences and discuss the actual science behind it. Absolutely perfect.
thanks for the motivational talk bach
as someone who regularly struggles with anxiety im glad that u guys are talking about it especially as its not talked about that often. Love you guys💖
This is my favourite duo on the internet
I enjoyed this episode as someone with generalised anxiety disorder. Something I find interesting is how anxiety and other disorders tie into the immune system. When I was struggling with anxiety at the age of 14 I remember how much Zoella helped me.
love love love that you’re talking about this especially even now because it’s such a taboo topic and shouldn’t be seen as embarrassing as it’s so common, amazing episode and educational but funny as always 💖💖
Studying mental health in college has learnt me to understand that anxiety is normally the base plate for more complex and confusing conditions like ocd and eupd. Anxiety can be hormonal, genetic but you normally develop it from being around people who suffer it like a cat developing ur personality. When not treated anxiety is commonly the cause for developing a range of mental conditions
When you are young you soak up information like a wet sponge so normally it is developed very young. Alike to childhood asthma
as someone who struggles with anxiety quite badly i never really thought to know much of the history about it so this was really comforting to watch, not only knowing so many people you may not know also struggle with it too, but seeing that it’s very much so been around since the beginning! it’d be so amazing to do another episode with a guest who possibly advocates for anxiety and mental health on social media and talk about their experience and how they tackled it/ their best tactics too!
