    Taking my 16 yo son to his first mental health appointment tomorrow. He asked me one day if he could have anxiety. Being an RN, I took him to see his pediatrician to start the ball rolling. He scored for both depression and anxiety. I’m so proud of him for being able to come to me with his concerns. Thank you both for tackling this topic!

      While you should certainly be proud of your son, give yourself some big parent kudos too! Your son came to you with his concerns because you’ve obviously built a relationship of trust and respect. He’s going to be just fine.

      He is fortunate to have a parent who is a medical professional, who will be more open to hearing such an admission from their child. Many would dismiss it because they don't want to think their child has such problems.

    Shane,
    Thank you for your willingness to discuss your issues with mental illness. I too have lived with PTSD for many years. There is such a stigma behind mental illness and most people who are affected hide their story. I know that many people watching this video are thankful for your encouragement, I know that I am. Peace be with you both.

No I'm not, what goes on in my head an the anxiety an panic attacks, I cant help, but why, WHY, DOES IT HAVE TO BE NEGATIVE? It shouldn't be, stigma, don't talk about our feelings, if its not happy thoughts dont say it.... its not ok to stuff those feelings an hide them, it makes it worse! I feel so alone, on a daily basis an it sucks!! Anyhow, sorry I won't ramble, just wanted to say thank you for speaking on this, we need so much more awareness to mental health an the negative stigma to it, needs to go away!!! Love you guys!! ❤❤❤

      I had a cerebral hemorrhage in 2015 and was off work for 11 months. Since then I feel mentally and emotionally different. It is a daily struggle knowing that although I do not behave as I did prior to my head injury people even close family members do not understand. I’ve become very quiet, abrupt, less tolerant, impatient and anger easily. I dwell on issues more and believe that everyone is out to get me. Because a brain injury is invisible I’ve often been told that when I forget things I’m using my brain injury as an excuse. It’s unfortunate that people cannot see the bigger picture and that we brain injury victims wish that we could be our old selves again but we can’t.

Hannah, though perhaps Shane's responses are not helping you at this time, road rage is indeed an anger management problem. I hope you do seek help in at least recognizing that it is, and that you have a choice to act differently, even if it takes some intervention. It is important to learn defensive driving skills, along with ways to manage anger. Best of luck on this. I so enjoy your and Shane's videos and life story.

I also work for the behavioral health branch of the Department of Health and Human Services, as a Peer Coach. I’ve been doing this work since 2006, after I got my diagnosis. I did a WRAP plan and learned to identify my triggers and put a stop to things going downhill, learned new coping tools for my wellness toolbox, became a certified peer support specialist, got on medication, and now I teach others how to have their best life possible! There is no shame in having a diagnosis. I’m 64 years young, now and I have to say, life is good. I really really enjoy watching you both, I love the sense of humor 💕

      I heard something today that really stuck with me. When we are upset or angry, energetically, we are at a very low vibration. So being told to calm down is exactly the opposite of what we need to do. We need to rise up..raise our vibration ...look up and rise up..so next time you see someone upset..instead of saying calm down...which let's face it is insulting and Insensitive and never really works...we need to be reminded to rise up...be reminded of higher vibrations such as love and joy and happy Ness. ..I really am grateful for hearing that today...I hope it touches others the way it has helped me...blessings...

      @Eric Even that can be insulting to an upset person. Asking what's wrong or just closing your mouth entirely and actively listening can solve a situation/ disagreement much faster.

  • @christy1346
    @christy1346 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve learned that, whenever a doctor or therapist is not a good fit, or if they are not professional, and do not take their job, or me, seriously, I MUST, seek out another one.
    Even if I must try several times! Finding someone who is a good match is such a blessing! And, therapy for depression/anxiety, is absolutely worth it! I have found that, I learn the most just from taking my issues through. Yes, the therapist does offer some beneficial direction, but just having that hour, set aside weekly, to focus on how I can think/behave differently in the coming week, is very productive! It is important to truly open up, and say exactly what you are thinking. If the therapist doesn’t really know what is going on in your head... it significantly limits their ability to help you! ♥️

Now 25 yrs later I'm going back to deal with a lot of baggage Ive accumulated in the past 10.

    You're not alone. I've been struggling with anxiety my whole life. I have autism spectrum disorder and it causes me severe anxiety. Because of this pandemic my anxiety is a lot worse. I'm having more severe anxiety attacks and they come with headaches and migraines. Typically my anxieties link to me being overly stimulated with the area I'm in but not being able to interact with a lot of people is also painful because it triggers a larger anxiety attack. It's to the point where I might get diagnosed with anxiety disorder. It is just incredibly painful to deal with. Next to anxiety just having high functioning autism is just stressful enough

    I have severe anxiety, so much so that it interferes in everyday activities. I couldn't tell you how many times I've tried to go to the grocery store for example, only to have to turn around and come back home. I lay away at night constantly thinking about what i have to do the next day, and end up being so afraid of doing it that i just won't do it. I barely leave the house, and if i do i have to get back home asap. I hate being home all the time, im not in a relationship, so Im alone all of the time. I've lost friends cuz of anxiety, I'm depressed and i don't see this ending anytime soon. Covid hasn't changed my life any, cuz i never went out before it.
    So there's me opening up. I know there wasn't any "but I'm doing better now" moments, cuz i don't lie. Hope everyone has a good day, n stay safe.

    They are building a new bridge across the Mississippi River where I live and we had a whole week of the news trying to teach everyone how to zipper merge. People were blocking both lanes so no one could "skip the line in front on them" it was crazy. Love the talk on mental health. I suffer from depression and anxiety and I don't think some people understand what it does to a person. When I first met my husband, he used to try to make me laugh and figure out what he could do to get me out of a "funk" now I just tell him I am in a funk and he know that I will be OK in a few hours or the next day. Education and talking about it is the first step, as you both already know. Thank you for all of your videos!

    Oh my goodness. I’m in shock almost. I started to develop anxiety in my early 20s due to family problems.
    Anxiety in a small way had always been looming but was very manageable for me until that point, I’m in my 30s now and hitting the 10 year mark this Christmas season.
    My anxiety took/has taken the same exact form. Productivity, learning, excelling is how it comes out. It’s hard to sit down on my porch and watch my kids play without getting up and doing something that “needs” to be done.
    That may sound great to some people because being productive and having initiative are good qualities...but when it interferes with daily enjoyment of the life we’ve been given it’s really not.
    Glad to hear someone else with anxiety that forms the same way.

You guys have helped me in my own relationship. And being more confident and comfortable with my disability. Also, sexuality is something I struggled with for years, even into adulthood because no one ever talked to me about it. I was injured when I was 12. Sexuality at that age didn't exist. It was very taboo. So thank you guys for making these videos. I'm going to encourage my boyfriend to watch them just because I feel like they are so accurate and beneficial.

    Shane, I have the exact same productivity anxiety! It's so nice to hear of someone else with the same issue. It's a tricky problem to have, because so often being obsessed with how to be efficient and productive rewards us with success in life -- it reinforces the thought pattern! But there are some instances, such as making spreadsheets for watching movies (or in my case, trying to schedule unstructured free time), in which the anxiety is completely counterproductive and prevents us from enjoying things.

He held up a knife and motioned he would cut my throat with it. I called the 911 and they told me I instigated the event!! I was floored. I got his license plate and the state trooper went to his home and confronted him about the event. It was scary because he lived on a residential route I would have taken frequently. Because my husband was out of the country and we were moving soon I didn't press charges, but could have . The trooper felt he put the fear of God in him and so I was satisfied with that. I learned my lesson you should learn yours before such a thing happens to you.
