My parents are loving and caring both. But I am still stressed. You can't blame situations as you can find a stressful person in any situation you consider.
I burst into tears watching this. I was always a very productive person, an A and B student as a child, read many books, was very confident in my knowledge, knew how to share and express my ideas clearly and confidently, did not stutter, bullies couldn't get to me...I'm not that person anymore...and seeing what my brain could look like now...it's really hard. I always put so much work into learning and expanding my knowledge. I don't know if I could ever be who I was before again. I don't know if I could even limit the damage that's still being made. Every time I take a step forward, I'm sucked back into the same whirl again somehow. I want to exercise and meditate and read and grow again, but I feel so tied up sometimes. I don't know. I want to so bad. It looks so easy when other people do it. I don't know why the simplest of things are so hard for me.
I do not know you, but we share the same story. Mine is even worse. I am already a victim of Chronic Stress and many other things, thanks to my narcissist parents. My Dr. Has detected chronic stress to a level that cannot be reversed ..... But I am glad that at least I know this. I have not enjoyed my life at all. Thanks to my parents again.
Yeah i can relate this problem, before i am really great at problem solving even i can solve the math problem without formula but pandemic effect me alot stress come to me and its really effect my brain, i can't even talk normaly, my public speaking suddenly so bad, before i can dominate a convesation now i can't even make a topic, and the worse part is i can't even doing math anymore like its so hard to think. But yeah its what its, now i must fix my brain or my dream to become a good engineer will gone
I felt the same way watching this video, it saddens me so much what I've become. I have so many tics and pains from stress, it just creates more stress. Just to think this could be chronicle it almost makes me feel suicidal. I don't know what to do anymore...
My 7 ways to reduce stress: 1. Get your sleep cycle in order. This means going to bed early and having a full 7 to 8 hours of sound sleep. Trust me, you will feel refreshed when you wake up. 2. Prioritize. Do things first which needs your attention the most. 3. Do not multitask. Our brains aren't designed to multitask, so stop doing it already and focus your attention on one work at one time. You'll perform much better this way. 4. Be a little conscientious. Try to keep your room tidy and things arranged properly. 5. Have a list of daily achievable goals and try to get those completed on the same day. 6. Keep away from social media as much as you can. Social media is like junk food for your brain. 7. Be thankful for what you have. If you are reading this, trust me you are truly lucky and have much more resources at your disposal than at least half of the world's population.

I drank alcohol every day for three years straight. I worked too much. Failed relationships. And depressed. I ended up homeless for a few weeks in a foreign country, with no money. The only way I recovered from all that stress was to go back to my mom and stay in my room for months on end. I had to remove myself from all the things I experienced as stressful. These days I feel so much stronger and healthier. If you're going through a lot, always remember it's not too late for you.
How long? I been going through a terrible bout of anxiety disorder and I'm pretttty much in the same boat since last month I turn to TH-cam n doctors with little help... Could you give some tips on what helped you.
@@M.Đ-z4u i agree, but dealing with stress is not an easy task, sometimes your mentally strong but your body is so stressed out that it doesn't supports your mind, and sometimes your mind doesnt supports your body, and people dont get out of this spiral effect, even after seeking help.

@@mentos0778 Reduce negative thoughts to feel better. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down on your back and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Stress has really destroyed me. I'm a walking testament to how prolonged stress and anxiety are serious illnesses, although they're brushed off by society. Ever since I entered this stressful phase in my life, I saw various physical and mental functionalities. For starters, I lost *so* much hair. I probably have 1/10 the hair I used to have. I developed IBS and ulcers. My face looks aged/tired. Mentally, I'm much worse; I get panic attacks for the simplest, stupidest reasons. I'm rarely happy. I forget everything, my long term/ short term memory is shit. I can hardly sleep at night. I get headaches often. With all these negative effects, I feel as though I would have damaged my body much less had I smoked weed or cigarettes. As horrible as smoking is, I feel that it would have alleviated stress, and whatever damage smoking would have caused would't be anywhere near as bad as what stress has caused. I hate myself for having done so much irreparable damage to my body. Although most of the blame is on my shoulders, I partly blame society for treating stress as if it weren't a serious issue, and placing expectations that force people into this horrible state of mind.
+Yaranaika Sending you some internet hug. I hope you can find some time to spend on yourself to reverse the damage that stress has done on you. I just quit and dropped everything so that I can save what little sanity I have left and work on me and my happiness. Maybe that's not a possible option for you, but, I hope you keep fighting for you and find a better situation.
foxxsx Thank you for being empathetic. I was heavily debating whether or not to post this; It's really hard to share something this personal with strangers, albeit anonymously. But I hoped I could find other people who have been through/ continue to go through the same thing and can share some wisdom and kind words. Again, thank you :)
At least you adhere correctly to grammar. I want you to know that I respect you courage sharing your situation with me. I really hope that you get better. Internet hug fellow human
+Yaranaika Smoking weed or cigarettes would only mask the real issues at hand, they wouldn't help at all and you would likely end up feeling the effects of stress and smoking simultaneously. Don't fight one evil with another. What needs to be done is to identify what caused your stress to begin with and work from there.

Nap Liang Didn't you guys watch this video until the end? The damage is not permanent, the damage can be reverse by doing exercise/ meditation. By exercising, it regulates the neurotransmitter(wiring system) in your brain, and it also increases "brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)" in your brain, which acts like a brain fertilizer, and according to a professor from Harvard, Dr. John Ratey said that exercise is like taking a little bit of prozac and a little bit of ritalin (anti depressant drugs). Just read the book "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, by Dr. John Ratey".
I've noted such a decrease in my memory, concentration and speech, it's worried me alot. Maybe it's chronic stress that I've had for the last 3-4 years.
Start accepting things. Stop trying to control everything. Acceptance is the great beginning of a stress free life. Tested and proved 100%. Adopt a "if this happens to me is okay. I accept it and I keep going" believe me.

Because of this video I started running ( 3:29 ), and now 2 months later I completed my first 5K race, and feel very cheerful and strong. Also I'm back to practicing Vipassana meditation. Thank you very much.
Thanks for asking! I kept running, up to 10km, and though meditation is good for me I find difficult to do regularly. I do believe these two things help me with anxiety and depression. But what has been helping me a lot since a few months is a medicine for depression. I'm much better. Also taking vacations: I just came back from 3 weeks out, and I feel my thoughts are refreshed. It's not perfect, not magic, but I believe these things combined, and also therapy, are very very positive to happiness.
@@kaeyynn i had a math final exam today and um... I basically messed it up. Its sad cuz I stayed till 5 am to study. I hope your speech goes well. Believe in yourself.
I used to be depressed and extremely stressed when I was younger due to homework, exams and other things in life. I started to jog to see if that would change anything, and honestly, it helped me out quite an amount until I stopped after I got better (and lazy/lesser time to jog around.) I still am stressed from assignments now, but I can cope a little better. :) Edit: wow, it’s been 2 years and I just happened to receive a notif to this comment. TLDR: Things are better now compared with before in some aspects. Confidence and self-love went up, haven’t exercised as much, and will be going to soon. Not exercising, makes me feel so sluggish. It’s not bad, but I miss the times where I was more motivated and active, really. I hope everyone figures out a way to destress. Going out on a walk and being out in nature is nice. Go to the park and walk, take in the fresh air. It’s good for you, truly. Doesn’t make you feel boxed in or trapped, in my experience. I’ve been doing much better than I was when I was younger. Two years ago, I was more emotional and erratic with how I reacted, etc. I worked out at a gym for a few months until covid hit, and the gyms were closed because of it. I tried to maintain my diet/macros/calories and worked out at home, but with classes and my lack of motivation/preference to work out at the gym, I soon stopped. Fortunately, once the gyms were back, I immediately went back- but to my demise, my pt was switched because the gym didn’t pay him as much due to covid and so he left. During covid, I became more self-aware and realised I had gastric/stomach issues, even up till today, I still have acid reflux, heart burns, etc etc. it was worse during covid but it’s much better now. I’m still learning to take care of myself, but I have been wanting to get back into working out. I feel so sluggish after not working out for so long, even after my trail at the gym was completed, I tried to maintain but I wasn’t/am not as motivated as I was two years ago. I was so keen and active back then, but now I’ve accepted myself for who and what I am, and yet, I still feel pressured by my family and myself- to get back to being healthier. And I do want to, but it is very easily for me to lose motivation if I excessively start off strong or burn out too quickly from so much effort. This time, I’m trying to start slow and build it up with consistency; something I’ve never truly had for long periods of time. I recommend going out, have some peace-walks/walks without using your phone all the time (but keep it there in case of emergencies, idk, up to you,) and just take in deep breaths, and remind yourself that a lot of the times, our problems are short-term and temporary and we can always get through it, somehow. It’ll be in the past at some point, so don’t push yourself too hard and be sure to take a break from work or studies every now and then. I should do the same too. :) thanks

This is true. For the last 4 years I was stuck in a stressful job and it affected my brain. Now I get anxious for no reason, I cant focus on stuff and easily get distracted, I cant even learn new things easily now, I cant easily remember someone's name whom I worked with a year ago. I was not like that, I was a quick learner before and I had very good memory.
Same here. But I took time off work and within 6 months I feel much better. I am able to socialise, work and learn things much better now. I understand all of us don't have the privilege to leave a paying job. But it helps to keep in mind that it is not you, it is just the surroundings you are in. Try to develop the courage to leave a toxic place and find the right fit for you. Only that helps in the long run.
@@jjjj-x9g different person responding here, but yes, you DO feel literally dumber during the stress and brain damage. And yes, you CAN heal brain damage from chronic stress / depression / etc. Some people can heal their brains by simply removing themselves from the damaging situation, which I'll compare to resting an injured limb. Sometimes it's that easy, but sometimes it's not. Many pepole benefit from therapy, like a massage to work knots out of stressed muscles. Others need medication to help heal the brain, like a cast on a broken limb. Others will need medication to keep them moving for the forseeable future, like people who need orthotics. The treatment that will help heal you will be different for everyone, but there are ways to heal and recovery is real.
I find it so helplessly when someone say "take control of your problem", or "it's in your hands to change your life". I'm stressed and depressed because of the very fact that I can't cope with my problems anymore, I find life so overwhelming that it makes me want to give up.
Yes. Don’t give up. You’re here for a reason. One day you’ll be more aware of your contribution and it’s impact. Give it time. I presently suffer from anxiety so I know how truly overwhelming life can be, but it also can be a living astonishing miracle. Full of beauty. Sunshine follows rain and good times can follow difficult times. Turn over stone and you’ll find knowledge and those that are there to help you
As someone who suffered extreme anxiety and chronic stress often to the point of being physically sick for 2 years this video made a lot sense. Although there hasn’t been human trials, the study about the effect of neglect at infancy rings true to me so I’m glad it was included in the video
After years of dealing with anxiety and depression, and now finally being able to somewhat come out of that dark place...I can now see how it has affected me drastically. I am not able to respond fast in conversations, and my focus on detail has worsen. I wish I could have gotten help sooner
same, i'm recovering slowly and it feels great, i'm currently trying to fix my insomnia since im sleeping at 8 am and that's not good. knowing you had been in this stage, for years, feels so hard. realizing how numb you were all that time
now i'm just mourning the things i've done to my brain as i've been stressed for so long. but!!! a reminder to those that feel like this too! we can heal our bodies and our brains. it's never too late
Girlz playz Gamez Easy to say, but not so easy to do when (as an example) you have lots of homework you need to do and if you stop just a day then you are in danger to be stressed for another year
Sir@Dark Fire, As a friend, i feel so sorry to hear what you have been through, what you have experienced and what made you feel that way. Even in the darkest of your days, always remember that God is with us. You are as good as you thought, how your treat others and how honest to yourself. As poetry said, "It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul!” May you have a good day ahead :") Salutations, Prince ♥️🇵🇭♥️
After trying every psychiatric drug available, I made a playlist of explosively emotional songs and literally ran crying at times. After two years of regular exercise, and eating way better, feel ten years younger. Still anxious, and depressed, but far less prone to breakdowns, migraines, panic inducing nausea, pretty functional. Does wonders for your self esteem too.
shrooms completely changed my whole life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and my body. A bunch of bad thought/behavior patterns were broken. One of these were pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that thing will be fine, this is one thing that I heard throughout the trip; Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me(although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
Psilocybin mushrooms have proven very effective in the treatment of various mental health issues. Helped me get out of years of depression and excessive alcohol use. My social anxiety is gone as well.
+Junaka to have relaxing music playing, close your eyes and focus only your breathing, this takes time like anything to becoming fully relaxed but if you stay disciples daily for 10 minutes, that's it. 10 minutes of focusing on your breathing you will find your relaxing point to calm the mind. Just breath, you can do it :)
+David Martinez im screwed too there is another video of ted-ed that speaks about how stress can make u sick and oh man.. all the simptoms are on me... giving final exams this year for university and oh man here in greece its hard. Stress depression sadness angryness its all around me..
Hi. It's 00:47 in my country now and I'm listening this video. I watch it not because I love the knowledge in this video but for my English skills. I'm a freshman so there are many tasks and skills I have to learn every day. I know with people who older than me that my pressure is not thing with them because they have gone through it. In additions, my pressure is just around learning outcomes; finance; peer pressure; etc. I don't want to complain or blame anything, just a hope that one day when I conquer this circumstance I can thanks to myself right now because I have not given up.
The part about the rats and how nurturing and caring parents can make a difference for several generations is probably the most important in the whole video. Exercising and meditating can only do so much for you, the only long-term help for this issue is genuine affection and strong social/familial bonds.
I really liked this video, it helps to structure more knowledge about stress, its effect on the body and methods of avoiding it. These include 1. Get your sleep cycle in order. This means going to bed early and sleeping 7-8 hours. 2. You don't need to do multiple tasks at the same time. 3. Do not perform multiple tasks at the same time. 4. Use social media as little as possible. 5. Make a list of daily achievable goals and try to achieve them on the same day. 6. Spend more time in the fresh air 7. Be grateful for what you have.
The Last Panda Do you mean you had a "neglectful" father or that you feel responsible for neglecting your father? There's a very high possibility that if your father/mother was cold or neglectful he/she had neglectful parents in turn. I think your power to choose walking away from the past and not giving a fcuk as per the O P is the simplest and the best strategy.
@@dukadarodear2176 You can't just walk away from your past. There are some people who are mentally strong enough to do just that, but the majority of people isn't capable of doing that. Not processing your past can also cause serious issues in maintaining a balanced life. Please take events of the past seriously, even if you think them to be not that important, if they affect your daily life they are worth addressing.

This is exactly what I've been looking for!! I was trying to figure out why I cannot understand simple sentences and my efficiency at work dropped dramatically. Everything seems to be to difficult for me :-(. I feel tiried all the time not mentioning that it also impacts my relationships with others.
I hate society it is clear that people are overworked and stressed out about numerous things, but jobs and school are like "ARE THE NUMBERS DOING GOOD?!?!? NO? THEN LEAVE!!!!! WE WILL REPLACE YOU WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR A ROBOT JUST TO PROVE HOW WORTHLESS YOU ARE! Oh wait the numbers are doing good? okay are you stressed? why are you stressed be thankful for what you have NOW GET BACK TO WORK GOTTA KEEP THOSE NUMBERS GOING UP!" Basically every job and school system ever.

watching this for EMT class, I love how they especially focus on how some stress can be positive because thats true. its scary how much it can ruin your brain structure, i hope that never happens to me (i know ill be stressed out but i just hope it would never be enough to destroy my neurons)
I recommend soft jogging, bird watching, and stretching somewhere in local nature alone and if headphones make you feel comfortable try lyric-less instrumental music.
how do i tell my parents that they’re shortening my life span and decreasing my quality of life with the way they treat me when they’ve normalized that type of behavior for years?
@@ashleymanzanet4434 I'll give you my best example: My dad said I was going to a party for the family that I didn't wanna go. I said no. He dragged me by the arm and beat me up (I was 14 and he was a Big dock worker) and put me on the motorcycle. When I got there I just told everyone I could that my dad was forcing me to stay and then I left. He said "I'm not taking you back home" I said "I am going on foot". He stared me down for 15 unconfortable seconds and as I started to walk away he said "Alright.. I'll take you there". (I would walk 34km home if he had let me) The second time he tried it, I simply got into physical fight until he let me go. He stared me down for 30 unconfortable seconds and said "Alright. You don't need to go" Never happened again ever since
Up until 2020, I was a person who's very organized and productive. Also very attentive towards my studies and goals. I had a clear vision and life motto then. I also exercised and meditated everyday back then. But this stress got me real good and now I can't focus, keep forgetting things, and lost that clear vision of life I had back then. Now I've become a procrastinator. It was all because of stress. Now I'm thinking of getting back on track.
Thanks mom, thanks dad for mentally fucking me up so much that I am unable to find a job, or a girlfriend, stick to a goal, lose weight, find a purpose, and lead any kind of meaningful life whatsoever. My most repeated recent activities include curling up in a fetal position and smoking two packs a day. I often ask myself a question why am I even here? I don't matter to anyone. I don't even matter to myself. I'm overweight, stressed out, anxious, socially awkward, possibly borderline, ocd, lazy, unmotivated, unhealthy, depressed, overly attached to this one girl who doesn't want me and abandoned me, cant cope with it, cant cope with anything negative really. Watching youtube videos about self help all day long has no effect. I kniw every piece of advice under the sun on how to get better. Whatever I do I'm not getting better. I tried all of it. I cant stick with anything either. I feel worthless, disposable, imprisoned, hurt, sick and useless. I have no sense of self, no direction, no boundaries, no idea how many things are wrong with me because there are so many that I cant keep up with it. My friends dont care, my family doesnt care, my parents dont care. Nobody cares. My genes are literally designed to be mercilessly weeded out of the gene pool. Why do I even wrote this? Do I really think that someone will give a fuck? Do I want to get attention? What for? Will it bring me happiness? Will I get a sense of importance for a moment? Is that what this is all about? It's all about whys. Why am I here. Why here. Why in this body. Why am I so screwed up. Why dont I have a girlfriend. Why is everything so hard to deal with. Why cant I take care of myself. Why do I feel like a victim. Why do I feel so weak. Why did I overeat for past 20 years. Why is nothing the way its supposed to be. Why? Why nobody seems to have satisfying answers to these kinds of questions??? WHY
+dligac Can't say I completely understand what you are going through, but those questions really resonate with tough times I have gone through. I don't know if I'll ever find the answers to them but one thing has really helped me. That is focusing on other people. Finding those people that need & are looking for help and figuring out how to help them.
+dligac You need to work on your spirituality. You will find your answers within. You can start by trying to understand your soul, what state it is in and how to improve it to the best of your abilities. No I'm not referring to magical bullshit. Allow me to elaborate a bit. Let's start with Plato's cave allegory. Watch the TH-cam video first or read up on it. You see the shadows represent our physical reality. It's all we have known and seen so we think that that's all there is. But in reality the shadows are so basic and there is a higher reality which creates the shadows. To be as basic as possible, your 3D physical reality is a projection from a higher reality/ matrix. Your physical body is just a temporary vessel for an everlasting metaphysical soul. You have free will to determine your own destiny. It's on you. You have the power to save yourself and always have. You may receive guidance in life but to act is on you. This site "spiritual research foundation" may help you understand how things run and what you need to do but won't have many scientific explanations. You will find plenty of TH-cam videos and articles online that can explain this best scientifically. Alien videos/articles may help too. Stay open minded. The absence of evidence does not equate to the evidence of absence. Only you can save you. Ask and it shall be given you; seek and te shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you
xxuncexx I know how this universe works. I know that I am god going through this life experience. I know there's only one consciousness and everything is part of it. I know there are many layers of dimensions, I know universe has a fractal nature. I know I have spiritual guides, emotions are the communication bridge between me and my higher self. I understand all of this dude. Heck I even understand it from physics perspective that time is actually a spacial dimension and gravitiy is just an effect of acceleration in the time dimension. I understand everything. I know the universe works through secret. I even used it yesterday and had an immediate effect today. It blew my mind, it always does but I can't use it all the time I don't know how to do it because of my worrysome nature I always seem to screw it up. I have a lot of fear and I have very strong emotional reactions to everything and I can't think straight. It's like a constant panic attack. This girl I have a crush on wants something from me. Yesterday I thought to myself, well why couldn't I have her? And if not, then why couldn't I find someone even better? Why couldn't I have an awesome job? Why not? There is no reason. Everything seemed so clear to me, I understood that heck, I can do whatever I want. I can have whatever I want. For a brief second I imagined her sitting on my bed like she used to. This morning I woke up and first thing that struck me was the idea that if she texted me, this is how I would respond. I looked at my phone and she actually did text me. For a moment I was not sure if this is real or just a dream. Like I said it never stops amusing me how thoughts create reality. I know that I have nothing to lose when it comes to her. I already lost it. THEN WHY THE HECK MY EMOTIONS ARE SO FUCKED UP ABOUT IT why do I have such a strong reaction to it, why do I give a fuck??? I cannot lose her, I already did so what is going on? I hate it I don't want to be so attached to her! It's so wrong on so many levels. Now my default belief is that I was too harsh on her and my emotional reaction is that I fucked it up and I feel bad. Why? I don't have to care!!! And I really don't care. Yet it is destroying my soul with pain. For no fucking reason. I want to get rid of this
+dligac feel like you understand parts but you don't have a very good grasp of how you use the knowledge. I feel your mind may be broken down by fear and negativity and also you don't have a very high soul level. Knowing is half the battle but do you actually try to solve your problems? Can you accurately define the problems you have and then will you devise a step by step plan on how to deal with it accordingly? You need to step back, look at yourself and say "wow how do I unfuck this POS", make a plan and execute. Constantly improvising and improving the plan as you go. Find a way to increase your spirituality. Find a way to cut down or quit smoking. Find a way to get healthier. Work smarter not harder. Quit complaining about how shitty you are and then continuing to be shitty by doing shit to improve yourself. And if you think your helping yourself but expecting failure, you're gonna fail, you're gonna cry more, you're going nowhere. Yea I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. As for your relationship problems, that's on you. I'm a fucking INTP not a love guru. Women are confusing.
This is very true. I was in an abusive relationship for over a year and the constant stress he caused me made me develop depression and anxiety. Two years later after we’ve broken up and I’m still picking up the pieces of my life and learning how to cope again.
It's amazing how much mental stimuli can affect us physically. Stress runs rampant these days, but there are ways to manage it when you understand what's going on in your brain!
I have always struggled with anger , resentments, and unforgiveness. I have been working on it with a therapist and 12 step sponsor, and it is getting better. I was told that resentments only hurt you, not the wrongdoers. I had to write down my resentments and how they affected me to see the damage to motivate me to let go. I also had to write down my part in the resentments so I could see where i was in the wrong, make amends, change behaviors, build my character and reconcile relationships if appropriate. Obviously there are some situations you don't play a part like if you were abused. I really get into psychology and human behavior so I like to understand why people act how they do for example mental illness. It helps to have compassion on them and to wish them well. This is NOT justifying or condoning it just helps to understand, have compassion, and wish them well. Its also not good to get revenge, not only because of consequence but they will get their karma and there will be justice. If it motivates them to change and make anends be happy for them.
wow this video really made me cry.. i guess it made me realise i need to tak better care of myself and not get so overwelmed and not 'just repress the stress i go through...
So now I realised that I suffer from Chronic Stress and it literally has started to affect me in many ways, both physical and mental. Like I've this constant fear of failing and I overthink a lot like "letting go" is very difficult. I saw this video and I realized what damage I'm doing to myself by taking unnecessary stress. So TED-ED thank you so much for putting out this video. I will try my best to be a better person
Wow. i'm flabbergasted. this video is BEAUTIFUL. it's soundtrack, animation, and information are eloquently pieced together perfectly. definitely one of my favorite ted-ed videos.

This video has changed my life for the better. Please accept my immense gratitude for sharing this! 💛 In the past 5 hours that I've been researching the affect stress and the menstrual cycle I've learned more than in my whole lifetime (I'm in my late 20’s).
I have a grandmother that have dementia and alzheimers Before she had these She was almost in constant stress. As I watch this vid, I cried for her and for myself.
I blame my mum for teaching me from an early age to react to things in a stressful manner. It's her natural state but sadly, she has passed it on to me. I'll never let her know though.
Don't blame her. These videos might have fun music and offer easy answers but they are massive oversimplifications. We are not rodents our societies are giant stress factories with electronic behavior interference rats never face

I'm a student and the fact is that i suffer from concentration issues, decision and judgement problems and learning new things as quickly as i used to be able to. stress is a bitch. i literally always have a problem...
I totally agree. I have the same problem. things that were once so easy just sort of get lost somewhere. it's also like my mind picks and chooses when it wants to imput new information.
I love this video to teach my clients about the physiological impacts of stress. While I also understand the impact of parenting on stress responses, I have clients with nurturing parents who still have children that face excess anxiety. I wish I could share this video with them without including the part about contributions of the mother. Some of my more sensitive parents already carry guilt over the feeling of responsibility for their children's anxieties and that doesn't help. Also, while understanding the relationship of how stress responses are nurtured in early childhood, some of my clients don't need an excuse as to why they feel the way they do, providing them a target to point at and blame rather than one to aim for and seek healing. Man I wish that part of the video could be edited out. I really love the neuroscience of this video otherwise.
To everyone that's becoming anxious over the video (and I'm definitely one of them), remember to breathe. Just take a deep breath. And then another one. And another. Stress is a lot harder when we give into it. So eat when you're hungry even if it's just a bite, drink water when you're thirsty even if it's just a sip, leave the lights on to sleep if you have to. It's a process, but each instance that you're kinder to yourself makes it easier.
Since everyone's sharing, I suppose I can forgive myself for a little rant. I'm so stressed out, despite knowing that my amount of stress is such a small amount compared to 'the real world', as a student, I've not felt so hopeless. I'm seeing a counsellor, but not even she can solve the problem when it comes to my own decisions that I make everyday. I've started to receive headaches and I've had trouble sleeping well for two years now, it started off as a joke but now I'm seriously considering dropping some of the extra work I'm doing for-- to be quite honest-- my reputation within the school. Being a student everyone looks up to is great, but I'm honestly starting to think it's not worth it if my brain shrinks in size. I've still got a couple of years of school ahead of me, and I'd hate to imagine how it would be if this continued. It's so hard to concentrate in class I've started to schedule everything so I can do it later, only to discover that I cannot complete anything. I'm tired, and so, so stressed out. Yet no one seems to realize it, and at this point my friends are so used to me being stressed all the time it doesn't even seem like a big deal to them (not that I'm blaming them, really). Thanks for reading it until the end, and I hope you have a great day.
It’s ok I feel you too. As a student the pressure to remain at the top is intense. On some nights I go to sleep at 4 am and wake up 2 hours later to get to school,just to finish the huge amount of homework and assignment. Then I’ll stay at school until 5 pm to study and participate in mandatory school activities. I’m sitting for a big exam this year,so the stress is real. People around me has noticed me changing,having a short temper,being aggressive at the slightest provocation,always saying out and displaying profane words and signs while they even noted that my reaction time in some situations are quite slow.

Thanks so much for this video! I'm struggling with stress related depression for a year now, I have experienced all the symptoms mentioned, but I didn't know the physical explanation for them. I take medication for now and I started exercising, wich helps a lot. But I will definitely go to meditation class as soon as possible!
I want to share three tips that help me deal with stress myself. * Stress can cause anxiety. So try this: First, recognize that some stress is inevitable. Fretting over things you cannot prevent increases your stress. Second, understand that quite often things do not turn out the way we may fear they will. * Be modest, set reasonable standards, and know both your limitations and those of others. When you do this, you will reduce stress all around and even encourage greater success. Also, keep a sense of humor. When you laugh-even when something goes wrong-you relieve tension and brighten your mood. * play chess and solve chess puzzles. If you want to play with me, write me, I will be very happy!

Exercise is an excellent way to alleviate stress. The problem in my case is that due to ongoing illegal entries in my locked, rented room, my personal belongings are getting stolen/destroyed ! Thus, forcing me to carry multiple bags of paperwork, computers, and other items with me. In addition, because my vehicle was vandalized, I have no where to store these items, even if I tried to go for a run or a bicycle ride. Last, to make matters worse, the gaslighting and lies of those who may be involved in this is abundant. However, the truth is eventually revealed and those responsible, will be held accountable. In order for my stress to decrease, I need justice and financial restitution ..like yesterday !
I love myself so much...I know that I'm kind & sensitive but so many traumatic stressful accident happend to me...I send myself all the love that i have... i love myself ..i pray for my healing..and all you who are kind sensitive and stressed out, i love you so much...take my love......be fine.💕
Read “The Upside of Stress” by Kelly Mcgonigal who did a study that concludes that only people that view stress as a bad thing experience those side effects while people who viewed it as a good job thing and a natural thing had almost no side effects. It’s really interesting and has overall made me a much less stressed about stress
If you watched the video, it explains how the initial onset of stress can be helpful, however, prolonged stress is what does the damage to your mind and body. You need to avoid the prolonged stress - too much Cortisol over a long period of time.
A huge thanks to all the Ted-ed members for creating all those wonderful lessons. It not only creates awareness but also gives hope for a new beginning in life. I ❤️ Ted-ed.

Yeah. I'm stressed with my family because of pressure after i graduated.
I burst into tears watching this. I was always a very productive person, an A and B student as a child, read many books, was very confident in my knowledge, knew how to share and express my ideas clearly and confidently, did not stutter, bullies couldn't get to me...I'm not that person anymore...and seeing what my brain could look like now...it's really hard. I always put so much work into learning and expanding my knowledge. I don't know if I could ever be who I was before again. I don't know if I could even limit the damage that's still being made. Every time I take a step forward, I'm sucked back into the same whirl again somehow. I want to exercise and meditate and read and grow again, but I feel so tied up sometimes. I don't know. I want to so bad. It looks so easy when other people do it. I don't know why the simplest of things are so hard for me.
I do not know you, but we share the same story. Mine is even worse. I am already a victim of Chronic Stress and many other things, thanks to my narcissist parents. My Dr. Has detected chronic stress to a level that cannot be reversed ..... But I am glad that at least I know this. I have not enjoyed my life at all. Thanks to my parents again.

I felt the same way watching this video, it saddens me so much what I've become. I have so many tics and pains from stress, it just creates more stress. Just to think this could be chronicle it almost makes me feel suicidal. I don't know what to do anymore...
My 7 ways to reduce stress:
1. Get your sleep cycle in order. This means going to bed early and having a full 7 to 8 hours of sound sleep. Trust me, you will feel refreshed when you wake up.
2. Prioritize. Do things first which needs your attention the most.
3. Do not multitask. Our brains aren't designed to multitask, so stop doing it already and focus your attention on one work at one time. You'll perform much better this way.
4. Be a little conscientious. Try to keep your room tidy and things arranged properly.
5. Have a list of daily achievable goals and try to get those completed on the same day.
6. Keep away from social media as much as you can. Social media is like junk food for your brain.
7. Be thankful for what you have. If you are reading this, trust me you are truly lucky and have much more resources at your disposal than at least half of the world's population.
Great list.

I drank alcohol every day for three years straight. I worked too much. Failed relationships. And depressed.
I ended up homeless for a few weeks in a foreign country, with no money.
The only way I recovered from all that stress was to go back to my mom and stay in my room for months on end. I had to remove myself from all the things I experienced as stressful.
These days I feel so much stronger and healthier.

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
Yes he's Pedroshrooms. I know few friends who no longer suffer ptsd and anxiety with the help of shrooms. Never had to take shrooms after then.

Stress has really destroyed me. I'm a walking testament to how prolonged stress and anxiety are serious illnesses, although they're brushed off by society. Ever since I entered this stressful phase in my life, I saw various physical and mental functionalities. For starters, I lost *so* much hair. I probably have 1/10 the hair I used to have. I developed IBS and ulcers. My face looks aged/tired. Mentally, I'm much worse; I get panic attacks for the simplest, stupidest reasons. I'm rarely happy. I forget everything, my long term/ short term memory is shit. I can hardly sleep at night. I get headaches often.
With all these negative effects, I feel as though I would have damaged my body much less had I smoked weed or cigarettes. As horrible as smoking is, I feel that it would have alleviated stress, and whatever damage smoking would have caused would't be anywhere near as bad as what stress has caused. I hate myself for having done so much irreparable damage to my body. Although most of the blame is on my shoulders, I partly blame society for treating stress as if it weren't a serious issue, and placing expectations that force people into this horrible state of mind.
+Yaranaika Sending you some internet hug. I hope you can find some time to spend on yourself to reverse the damage that stress has done on you. I just quit and dropped everything so that I can save what little sanity I have left and work on me and my happiness.

+Yaranaika Smoking weed or cigarettes would only mask the real issues at hand, they wouldn't help at all and you would likely end up feeling the effects of stress and smoking simultaneously. Don't fight one evil with another.
What needs to be done is to identify what caused your stress to begin with and work from there.
don't you ever tried to look the causes and resolve then? If don't, you can try it yet....

Nap Liang Didn't you guys watch this video until the end? The damage is not permanent, the damage can be reverse by doing exercise/ meditation. By exercising, it regulates the neurotransmitter(wiring system) in your brain, and it also increases "brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)" in your brain, which acts like a brain fertilizer, and according to a professor from Harvard, Dr. John Ratey said that exercise is like taking a little bit of prozac and a little bit of ritalin (anti depressant drugs). Just read the book "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, by Dr. John Ratey".
ok, my mistake. without exercise or so called meditation, the nightmare would come true.

But what has been helping me a lot since a few months is a medicine for depression. I'm much better. Also taking vacations: I just came back from 3 weeks out, and I feel my thoughts are refreshed.

As someone going through massive amounts of stress this made me wanna cry ...but there's always hope
I used to be depressed and extremely stressed when I was younger due to homework, exams and other things in life. I started to jog to see if that would change anything, and honestly, it helped me out quite an amount until I stopped after I got better (and lazy/lesser time to jog around.) I still am stressed from assignments now, but I can cope a little better. :)
Edit: wow, it’s been 2 years and I just happened to receive a notif to this comment.
TLDR: Things are better now compared with before in some aspects. Confidence and self-love went up, haven’t exercised as much, and will be going to soon. Not exercising, makes me feel so sluggish. It’s not bad, but I miss the times where I was more motivated and active, really. I hope everyone figures out a way to destress. Going out on a walk and being out in nature is nice. Go to the park and walk, take in the fresh air. It’s good for you, truly. Doesn’t make you feel boxed in or trapped, in my experience.
I’ve been doing much better than I was when I was younger. Two years ago, I was more emotional and erratic with how I reacted, etc. I worked out at a gym for a few months until covid hit, and the gyms were closed because of it. I tried to maintain my diet/macros/calories and worked out at home, but with classes and my lack of motivation/preference to work out at the gym, I soon stopped. Fortunately, once the gyms were back, I immediately went back- but to my demise, my pt was switched because the gym didn’t pay him as much due to covid and so he left. During covid, I became more self-aware and realised I had gastric/stomach issues, even up till today, I still have acid reflux, heart burns, etc etc. it was worse during covid but it’s much better now. I’m still learning to take care of myself, but I have been wanting to get back into working out. I feel so sluggish after not working out for so long, even after my trail at the gym was completed, I tried to maintain but I wasn’t/am not as motivated as I was two years ago. I was so keen and active back then, but now I’ve accepted myself for who and what I am, and yet, I still feel pressured by my family and myself- to get back to being healthier. And I do want to, but it is very easily for me to lose motivation if I excessively start off strong or burn out too quickly from so much effort. This time, I’m trying to start slow and build it up with consistency; something I’ve never truly had for long periods of time. I recommend going out, have some peace-walks/walks without using your phone all the time (but keep it there in case of emergencies, idk, up to you,) and just take in deep breaths, and remind yourself that a lot of the times, our problems are short-term and temporary and we can always get through it, somehow. It’ll be in the past at some point, so don’t push yourself too hard and be sure to take a break from work or studies every now and then. I should do the same too. :) thanks
How are you doing now?
I had the same thing
@@abhishekpawarpoems Reduce negative thoughts. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, hands on lap with palms facing upwards, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. Day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make this a daily habit to have a relaxed life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
@@shyaaammeneen63 please help me😑
I stress from my own writing.my new job also had lot of writting documents what i do now.
@@gihandissa6085 Read the msg I sent you and do the breath observing practice regularly. Make it a regular habit even at your new job. With your eyes open just observe the breath sensations for a few minutes as often as you can. Develop mentral strength. Avoid comparing yourself with anybody. It is ok if someone is better than you at office. Relax your mind. . Since many years I have been doing the breath observing practice even when I am walking alone, reading, before sleep etc.and I am totally relaxed. Read my msg and do the practice daily. Best wishes. Be motivated. Shyaaam Sir-Counsellor.
This is true. For the last 4 years I was stuck in a stressful job and it affected my brain. Now I get anxious for no reason, I cant focus on stuff and easily get distracted, I cant even learn new things easily now, I cant easily remember someone's name whom I worked with a year ago. I was not like that, I was a quick learner before and I had very good memory.
has it gotten better?
Now.
Same here. But I took time off work and within 6 months I feel much better. I am able to socialise, work and learn things much better now. I understand all of us don't have the privilege to leave a paying job. But it helps to keep in mind that it is not you, it is just the surroundings you are in. Try to develop the courage to leave a toxic place and find the right fit for you. Only that helps in the long run.
@@vaanathip425 So you recovered from the "brain damage"? Did you feel literally dumber during the stress?
@@jjjj-x9g different person responding here, but yes, you DO feel literally dumber during the stress and brain damage. And yes, you CAN heal brain damage from chronic stress / depression / etc.
Some people can heal their brains by simply removing themselves from the damaging situation, which I'll compare to resting an injured limb. Sometimes it's that easy, but sometimes it's not. Many pepole benefit from therapy, like a massage to work knots out of stressed muscles. Others need medication to help heal the brain, like a cast on a broken limb. Others will need medication to keep them moving for the forseeable future, like people who need orthotics. The treatment that will help heal you will be different for everyone, but there are ways to heal and recovery is real.

Thats true but l get more stressed in my daily life becouse of my stepfather and my stepbrother
Clearly it is
True
I find it so helplessly when someone say "take control of your problem", or "it's in your hands to change your life". I'm stressed and depressed because of the very fact that I can't cope with my problems anymore, I find life so overwhelming that it makes me want to give up.
Never give up. The fact you're alive means you haven't lost the fight. Reach out to me if you want to talk further.
Yes. Don’t give up. You’re here for a reason. One day you’ll be more aware of your contribution and it’s impact. Give it time.
I presently suffer from anxiety so I know how truly overwhelming life can be, but it also can be a living astonishing miracle. Full of beauty.

After trying every psychiatric drug available, I made a playlist of explosively emotional songs and literally ran crying at times. After two years of regular exercise, and eating way better, feel ten years younger. Still anxious, and depressed, but far less prone to breakdowns, migraines, panic inducing nausea, pretty functional. Does wonders for your self esteem too.

shrooms completely changed my whole life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and my body. A bunch of bad thought/behavior patterns were broken. One of these were pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that thing will be fine, this is one thing that I heard throughout the trip; Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me(although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
Yes, sure of dr_gifted
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels

Hi. It's 00:47 in my country now and I'm listening this video. I watch it not because I love the knowledge in this video but for my English skills. I'm a freshman so there are many tasks and skills I have to learn every day. I know with people who older than me that my pressure is not thing with them because they have gone through it. In additions, my pressure is just around learning outcomes; finance; peer pressure; etc. I don't want to complain or blame anything, just a hope that one day when I conquer this circumstance I can thanks to myself right now because I have not given up.
The part about the rats and how nurturing and caring parents can make a difference for several generations is probably the most important in the whole video. Exercising and meditating can only do so much for you, the only long-term help for this issue is genuine affection and strong social/familial bonds.
I really liked this video, it helps to structure more knowledge about stress, its effect on the body and methods of avoiding it. These include
1. Get your sleep cycle in order. This means going to bed early and sleeping 7-8 hours.
2. You don't need to do multiple tasks at the same time.
3. Do not perform multiple tasks at the same time.
4. Use social media as little as possible.
5. Make a list of daily achievable goals and try to achieve them on the same day.
6. Spend more time in the fresh air
7. Be grateful for what you have.
Constant stress because of school, stress because of friends/fights and neglecting father in my childhood probably gave me depression.
Tea sometimes helps, tea is never a cure but it seems to makes people infinitely calm.
but tea makes me alert.
The Last Panda
Do you mean you had a "neglectful" father or that you feel responsible for neglecting your father?
There's a very high possibility that if your father/mother was cold or neglectful he/she had neglectful parents in turn.
I think your power to choose walking away from the past and not giving a fcuk as per the O P is the simplest and the best strategy.
@@dukadarodear2176 You can't just walk away from your past. There are some people who are mentally strong enough to do just that, but the majority of people isn't capable of doing that. Not processing your past can also cause serious issues in maintaining a balanced life. Please take events of the past seriously, even if you think them to be not that important, if they affect your daily life they are worth addressing.

As someone with anxiety disorder, this video is stressing me out.
how do i tell my parents that they’re shortening my life span and decreasing my quality of life with the way they treat me when they’ve normalized that type of behavior for years?
Applying consequences to their toxic behaviours worked for me
@@Mhurilo10 may I ask what type of consequences did you do? Or what exactly do you mean by that?
@@ashleymanzanet4434 I'll give you my best example:
My dad said I was going to a party for the family that I didn't wanna go. I said no. He dragged me by the arm and beat me up (I was 14 and he was a Big dock worker) and put me on the motorcycle.
When I got there I just told everyone I could that my dad was forcing me to stay and then I left. He said "I'm not taking you back home" I said "I am going on foot". He stared me down for 15 unconfortable seconds and as I started to walk away he said "Alright.. I'll take you there". (I would walk 34km home if he had let me)
The second time he tried it, I simply got into physical fight until he let me go. He stared me down for 30 unconfortable seconds and said "Alright. You don't need to go"
Never happened again ever since
@@Mhurilo10 man, i felt that, the more your will is strong, the more you get from life
Damn bro u got parents? Mbn
Up until 2020, I was a person who's very organized and productive. Also very attentive towards my studies and goals. I had a clear vision and life motto then. I also exercised and meditated everyday back then.
But this stress got me real good and now I can't focus, keep forgetting things, and lost that clear vision of life I had back then. Now I've become a procrastinator.
It was all because of stress. Now I'm thinking of getting back on track.
The animation combined with the music, and the soothing voice of the narrator was so PURE. I loved this video.
Thanks TED-Ed.
Thanks mom, thanks dad for mentally fucking me up so much that I am unable to find a job, or a girlfriend, stick to a goal, lose weight, find a purpose, and lead any kind of meaningful life whatsoever. My most repeated recent activities include curling up in a fetal position and smoking two packs a day. I often ask myself a question why am I even here? I don't matter to anyone. I don't even matter to myself. I'm overweight, stressed out, anxious, socially awkward, possibly borderline, ocd, lazy, unmotivated, unhealthy, depressed, overly attached to this one girl who doesn't want me and abandoned me, cant cope with it, cant cope with anything negative really. Watching youtube videos about self help all day long has no effect. I kniw every piece of advice under the sun on how to get better. Whatever I do I'm not getting better. I tried all of it. I cant stick with anything either. I feel worthless, disposable, imprisoned, hurt, sick and useless. I have no sense of self, no direction, no boundaries, no idea how many things are wrong with me because there are so many that I cant keep up with it. My friends dont care, my family doesnt care, my parents dont care. Nobody cares. My genes are literally designed to be mercilessly weeded out of the gene pool. Why do I even wrote this? Do I really think that someone will give a fuck? Do I want to get attention? What for? Will it bring me happiness? Will I get a sense of importance for a moment? Is that what this is all about? It's all about whys. Why am I here. Why here. Why in this body. Why am I so screwed up. Why dont I have a girlfriend. Why is everything so hard to deal with. Why cant I take care of myself. Why do I feel like a victim. Why do I feel so weak. Why did I overeat for past 20 years. Why is nothing the way its supposed to be. Why? Why nobody seems to have satisfying answers to these kinds of questions??? WHY
Not everybody does not care. find people who will care about you. i believe in you. just keep pushing through and believe :) stay strong
+dligac Can't say I completely understand what you are going through, but those questions really resonate with tough times I have gone through. I don't know if I'll ever find the answers to them but one thing has really helped me. That is focusing on other people. Finding those people that need & are looking for help and figuring out how to help them.
+dligac You need to work on your spirituality. You will find your answers within. You can start by trying to understand your soul, what state it is in and how to improve it to the best of your abilities. No I'm not referring to magical bullshit. Allow me to elaborate a bit. Let's start with Plato's cave allegory. Watch the TH-cam video first or read up on it. You see the shadows represent our physical reality. It's all we have known and seen so we think that that's all there is. But in reality the shadows are so basic and there is a higher reality which creates the shadows. To be as basic as possible, your 3D physical reality is a projection from a higher reality/ matrix. Your physical body is just a temporary vessel for an everlasting metaphysical soul. You have free will to determine your own destiny. It's on you. You have the power to save yourself and always have. You may receive guidance in life but to act is on you. This site "spiritual research foundation" may help you understand how things run and what you need to do but won't have many scientific explanations. You will find plenty of TH-cam videos and articles online that can explain this best scientifically. Alien videos/articles may help too. Stay open minded. The absence of evidence does not equate to the evidence of absence. Only you can save you. Ask and it shall be given you; seek and te shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you
xxuncexx I know how this universe works. I know that I am god going through this life experience. I know there's only one consciousness and everything is part of it. I know there are many layers of dimensions, I know universe has a fractal nature. I know I have spiritual guides, emotions are the communication bridge between me and my higher self. I understand all of this dude. Heck I even understand it from physics perspective that time is actually a spacial dimension and gravitiy is just an effect of acceleration in the time dimension. I understand everything. I know the universe works through secret. I even used it yesterday and had an immediate effect today. It blew my mind, it always does but I can't use it all the time I don't know how to do it because of my worrysome nature I always seem to screw it up. I have a lot of fear and I have very strong emotional reactions to everything and I can't think straight. It's like a constant panic attack. This girl I have a crush on wants something from me. Yesterday I thought to myself, well why couldn't I have her? And if not, then why couldn't I find someone even better? Why couldn't I have an awesome job? Why not? There is no reason. Everything seemed so clear to me, I understood that heck, I can do whatever I want. I can have whatever I want. For a brief second I imagined her sitting on my bed like she used to. This morning I woke up and first thing that struck me was the idea that if she texted me, this is how I would respond. I looked at my phone and she actually did text me. For a moment I was not sure if this is real or just a dream. Like I said it never stops amusing me how thoughts create reality. I know that I have nothing to lose when it comes to her. I already lost it. THEN WHY THE HECK MY EMOTIONS ARE SO FUCKED UP ABOUT IT why do I have such a strong reaction to it, why do I give a fuck??? I cannot lose her, I already did so what is going on? I hate it I don't want to be so attached to her! It's so wrong on so many levels. Now my default belief is that I was too harsh on her and my emotional reaction is that I fucked it up and I feel bad. Why? I don't have to care!!! And I really don't care. Yet it is destroying my soul with pain. For no fucking reason. I want to get rid of this
+dligac feel like you understand parts but you don't have a very good grasp of how you use the knowledge. I feel your mind may be broken down by fear and negativity and also you don't have a very high soul level. Knowing is half the battle but do you actually try to solve your problems? Can you accurately define the problems you have and then will you devise a step by step plan on how to deal with it accordingly? You need to step back, look at yourself and say "wow how do I unfuck this POS", make a plan and execute. Constantly improvising and improving the plan as you go. Find a way to increase your spirituality. Find a way to cut down or quit smoking. Find a way to get healthier. Work smarter not harder. Quit complaining about how shitty you are and then continuing to be shitty by doing shit to improve yourself. And if you think your helping yourself but expecting failure, you're gonna fail, you're gonna cry more, you're going nowhere. Yea I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. As for your relationship problems, that's on you. I'm a fucking INTP not a love guru. Women are confusing.
This is very true. I was in an abusive relationship for over a year and the constant stress he caused me made me develop depression and anxiety. Two years later after we’ve broken up and I’m still picking up the pieces of my life and learning how to cope again.

I had a hard time focusing on what was being said because the animations were so beautiful and smooth.
Eefje Poppelaars i was reading the comments so I learned nothing :p
I have always struggled with anger , resentments, and unforgiveness. I have been working on it with a therapist and 12 step sponsor, and it is getting better. I was told that resentments only hurt you, not the wrongdoers. I had to write down my resentments and how they affected me to see the damage to motivate me to let go. I also had to write down my part in the resentments so I could see where i was in the wrong, make amends, change behaviors, build my character and reconcile relationships if appropriate. Obviously there are some situations you don't play a part like if you were abused. I really get into psychology and human behavior so I like to understand why people act how they do for example mental illness. It helps to have compassion on them and to wish them well. This is NOT justifying or condoning it just helps to understand, have compassion, and wish them well. Its also not good to get revenge, not only because of consequence but they will get their karma and there will be justice. If it motivates them to change and make anends be happy for them.

+Wild4lon Stuff your music player with your favorite music and go for a run.
I totally agree. I have the same problem. things that were once so easy just sort of get lost somewhere. it's also like my mind picks and chooses when it wants to imput new information.
I love this video to teach my clients about the physiological impacts of stress. While I also understand the impact of parenting on stress responses, I have clients with nurturing parents who still have children that face excess anxiety. I wish I could share this video with them without including the part about contributions of the mother. Some of my more sensitive parents already carry guilt over the feeling of responsibility for their children's anxieties and that doesn't help. Also, while understanding the relationship of how stress responses are nurtured in early childhood, some of my clients don't need an excuse as to why they feel the way they do, providing them a target to point at and blame rather than one to aim for and seek healing. Man I wish that part of the video could be edited out. I really love the neuroscience of this video otherwise.
To everyone that's becoming anxious over the video (and I'm definitely one of them), remember to breathe. Just take a deep breath. And then another one. And another. Stress is a lot harder when we give into it. So eat when you're hungry even if it's just a bite, drink water when you're thirsty even if it's just a sip, leave the lights on to sleep if you have to. It's a process, but each instance that you're kinder to yourself makes it easier.
Since everyone's sharing, I suppose I can forgive myself for a little rant.
I'm so stressed out, despite knowing that my amount of stress is such a small amount compared to 'the real world', as a student, I've not felt so hopeless. I'm seeing a counsellor, but not even she can solve the problem when it comes to my own decisions that I make everyday. I've started to receive headaches and I've had trouble sleeping well for two years now, it started off as a joke but now I'm seriously considering dropping some of the extra work I'm doing for-- to be quite honest-- my reputation within the school. Being a student everyone looks up to is great, but I'm honestly starting to think it's not worth it if my brain shrinks in size. I've still got a couple of years of school ahead of me, and I'd hate to imagine how it would be if this continued.
It's so hard to concentrate in class I've started to schedule everything so I can do it later, only to discover that I cannot complete anything. I'm tired, and so, so stressed out. Yet no one seems to realize it, and at this point my friends are so used to me being stressed all the time it doesn't even seem like a big deal to them (not that I'm blaming them, really).
Thanks for reading it until the end, and I hope you have a great day.
I can totally relate to this mate😔
It’s ok I feel you too. As a student the pressure to remain at the top is intense. On some nights I go to sleep at 4 am and wake up 2 hours later to get to school,just to finish the huge amount of homework and assignment. Then I’ll stay at school until 5 pm to study and participate in mandatory school activities. I’m sitting for a big exam this year,so the stress is real. People around me has noticed me changing,having a short temper,being aggressive at the slightest provocation,always saying out and displaying profane words and signs while they even noted that my reaction time in some situations are quite slow.
I can relate to that but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one dealing with stress
Purple Widow and here I am crying to go to school and at least read a book.

Kinda hard to do when I'm in a stressful relationship but thanks man
@@venomsymbiote6003 don't be in a stressful relationship
Fighting stressors and anxieties instead of running from it helps, like mine was revealing some things about myself that wasn’t that deep. Talking and expressing yourself/thoughts sounds cliche, but it makes a huge difference I promise.
I just can't stop commenting on how much I love your videos. I remember when I first found you guys had like 200k subs and now your knowledge is spreading to more and more people every day. Your professional and fun videos are always worth sharing. Just sayin'. :)

@Dark Fire Don't listen to the haters. You are all you need. You don't need anyone's validation. At first I cared what others thought of me. I understood later in life that we cannot please everyone. So be pleased with yourself, love yourself and take care of yourself. You are worth it! Take care. Il pray for you.

thx for teaching me about stress and ptsd
Thanks so much for this video! I'm struggling with stress related depression for a year now, I have experienced all the symptoms mentioned, but I didn't know the physical explanation for them. I take medication for now and I started exercising, wich helps a lot. But I will definitely go to meditation class as soon as possible!
Hi zoe how are you I got blood pressure because of stress
After watching this video I decided to meditate to combat my stress levels. It is really effective. Almost instantly i felt at peace.
I want to share three tips that help me deal with stress myself.
* Stress can cause anxiety. So try this: First, recognize that some stress is inevitable. Fretting over things you cannot prevent increases your stress. Second, understand that quite often things do not turn out the way we may fear they will.
* Be modest, set reasonable standards, and know both your limitations and those of others. When you do this, you will reduce stress all around and even encourage greater success. Also, keep a sense of humor. When you laugh-even when something goes wrong-you relieve tension and brighten your mood.
* play chess and solve chess puzzles.
If you want to play with me, write me, I will be very happy!
Sleep is extremely important to deal with stress. There are a few tools that help minimize stress ... great presentation.
Stress has such a huge impact on many people's lives, very informative lesson.
High school has already given me clinical severe depression and anxiety ooooof
My poor mom suffers from chronic stress, epilepsy and insomnia! But she’s such a hard worker and a caring mom and I’m grateful for her! ☺️
Aw, that's so beautiful. Sending your you and her light and love. Get her to try this short breathing technique, it's helped me a lot th-cam.com/video/SAFshfh3scc/w-d-xo.html
@@TheYogaStudio_ thank u so much! sending light to u too! 🙏🏼☀️
Brave mom❤
Exercise is an excellent way to alleviate stress. The problem in my case is that due to ongoing illegal entries in my locked, rented room, my personal belongings are getting stolen/destroyed !
Thus, forcing me to carry multiple bags of paperwork, computers, and other items with me. In addition, because my vehicle was vandalized, I have no where to store these items, even if I tried to go for a run or a bicycle ride.
Last, to make matters worse, the gaslighting and lies of those who may be involved in this is abundant. However, the truth is eventually revealed and those responsible, will be held accountable.
In order for my stress to decrease, I need justice and financial restitution ..like yesterday !
I love myself so much...I know that I'm kind & sensitive but so many traumatic stressful accident happend to me...I send myself all the love that i have... i love myself ..i pray for my healing..and all you who are kind sensitive and stressed out, i love you so much...take my love......be fine.💕
Everyone hang in there I’ve been down this dark road .. you will pull thru Have faith
Read “The Upside of Stress” by Kelly Mcgonigal who did a study that concludes that only people that view stress as a bad thing experience those side effects while people who viewed it as a good job thing and a natural thing had almost no side effects. It’s really interesting and has overall made me a much less stressed about stress
I wonder how army men took it... I don't think they took it as a good thing.
It will take a toll in all of us.
If you watched the video, it explains how the initial onset of stress can be helpful, however, prolonged stress is what does the damage to your mind and body.
You need to avoid the prolonged stress - too much Cortisol over a long period of time.
A huge thanks to all the Ted-ed members for creating all those wonderful lessons. It not only creates awareness but also gives hope for a new beginning in life. I ❤️ Ted-ed.
