Stress isn’t always a bad thing; it can be handy for a burst of extra energy and focus, like when you’re playing a competitive sport or have to speak in public. But when it’s continuous, it actually begins to change your brain. Madhumita Murgia shows how chronic stress can affect brain size, its structure, and how it functions, right down to the level of your genes.
Lesson by Madhumita Murgia, animation by Andrew Zimbelman.
Yay now I'm stressed about my stress.
hahaha
Eadlyn June lol! 😂
Eadlyn June no joke I feel exactly the same.
AvengedHellfold It was kinda a joke. It wasn't fully a joke but it was meant to be taken slightly humorously.
Eadlyn June ikr...
this channel has become a class I never payed for, but learned a lot from.. thank you
very true.. :-)
+Blou Bear nothing is free you are paying for it
I agree greatly
In what way am I paying then?
+Blou Bear Opportunity costs. Nothings is free. Time is money.
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.

Neuroplasticity is a thing! Our brains can get re wired
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...
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.
i’m sorry you had to go through that. i’m happy you’re feeling better!
Thank you for your words, it helps me so much.
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.

I wish I experienced a caring and concerned parent when I was a kid

I felt this strongly :(
Same
Promise yourself to be a caring and concerned parent one day... only that will bring peace and healing. Good luck
Yeah, I wish it too
I suffered severe anxiety, stress disorders several years ago. Was actually addicted to alcohol. Also suffered mental disorder and cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

ig stress caused permanent change in ur brain
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
@@SuggarChonaHow do I reach out 🙏? If possible, can I find him on insta
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.
I think having well educated and understanding parents is the most important for a well developed brain

+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..
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.

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.
don't you ever tried to look the causes and resolve then? If don't, you can try it yet....
And I'm trying to help, please, don't get me wrong.
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.
Good advice
Great list.
You forgot the most important. MEDITATION.
Thank you.
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

yeah, so terrible it sounds. Not just Permanent head Demage, but Inheritable head Demage, fuck…
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.
I saw you in Jamie Oliver's channel.

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.

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).
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

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.

Sadly you should help yourself
@@wajdigharbi2644fortunately God is the kind who loves us enough to help us and spares us from facing our problems alone. You very well have to help yourself in the practical--like if procrasinating is your stressor, you have to set an intention to DO what you can in the moment so you won't stress about it later, or make a plan in advance--, but you can ask God to help you commit to that :) like when I have an assignment to do and im having a hard time bringing myself to do it, I pray and ask God in Jesus's name to give me the focus, willpower, and the self control to get it done, and he's helped me everytime--sometimes in ways I didnt expect.
Hey @bani.kapoor2011 :) I hope that things have gotten much better for you today with whatever may have been stressing you, and just in general! You made the right call to ask God for help, and even if you feel like sometimes he doesnt hear you or care about your pain, I can assure you that he does ❤ John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son" (thats Jesus Christ!). If he loves us so much to give everything up for us, because Jesus Christ is everything to us and him, how much more do you think he's willing to do to make sure you're ok and will be ok in the future?
the word of God says that he is faithful even when we are (2 Timothy 2:13- ) not- your circumstances dont matter, you dont EVER have to rely only on yourself in this life, we werent made to do this life alone anyways. So long as you accept Jesus Christ- the son of God who came down from heaven to become a man on earth and die for us so that all of our sins (which is whenever we fall short of God's rules for us; and thats normal and in our nature)- by believing in your heart and declaring out loud that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God ressurected him from the dead, you will be saved, but more importantly, you have a friend for eternity who holds everything you know in his hands :)
You may already know of the gospel, but I encourage you to get to KNOW Jesus Christ and who he is, hes more than just some God we pray to every now and then expecting for all our problems to be solved. He's our family, and if you seek him dilligently and make an effort to get closer to him, he'll surely get closer to you (Jeremiah 29:12-13), and thats how you manage this life- with the one who overcame it ❤❤❤ God bless you my love! you'll be in my prayers :))
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.
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.
any updates?
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.
This video inspired me so much too good luck !!!!!

@@digocr too much work rather just kms
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

@m amin God bless you❤️ I hope you're okay❤️😶
I feel sad watching this,
it's like every single word he's talking is "me, me, me and me..."
Same here
Don't worry we are on the same boat.
After watching this,watch motivational videos.
I know that feeling
Same here
This is one of the most concise and well explained video on this topic. Thanks
I think this it's why it's important to have the right ppl in your circle.. your surroundings play a huge part in your stress levels..
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?
I need a hug! Exercise, meditation.. yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the loving caring hugs. Then we'll talk exercise and meditation.
😥😥😥😥😭😭😭
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.
Virtual hug for a friend 🤗
/warm hugs/
Excatly!
This video is so well explained. Thank you!
Why did this make me cry with passion
Well watching this was fucking stressful
Ironic, no?
Concerned Geek ugh I might as well give up on life now I probably won't be able to remember I'm living it in a couple of years with the amount of stress social situations cause me😂.. in other words I agree this was stressful af

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.

This video made me cry. It is so well made, but it also told me that my brain was literally shrinking.
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.
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.
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
Thank you for this.
I like how there are people like trying to improve humanity, thank you so much 💗, keep it up
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

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.
Life is not easy
@Pr.incorporated yes we're all safe in Him.
Don’t worry. This is just a bad blip in world history, don’t forget your worth and how lovable you are. God loves you just the way you are. Try praying 🙏

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 :")

Stressed about stressing out makes me stressed tf serious glad to read im not alone
Thanks for making this insightful video. Even I haven't been cared much from my parents, I had a chance to know how I can care myself to stop epigenetics changes which can expressed through generations to generations.
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...
+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.
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.
For me, the best Ted production. Thank 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

As someone with anxiety disorder, this video is stressing me out.
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.
This video help me so much in understanding my situation. Thank you so much TED-Ed

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.
Wtf. What are you?9 years old.

for the same reason, your child's gonna blame you, so try to change
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

Im glad i discovered this video, just last year i was always hyped about learning things when i was in school but after some stuff i constantly felt a heavy pressure on my head, but after the incident, my head felt insanely light to the point where i lost myself and only this year i realized i was really slow to understand and learn compared to previously, so thank god i discovered this.
I was also learning a thing which stressed me out. I felt liquid moving in my brain and felt heavy pressure in top of the head. Neck tight. Did you felt like this and how it is solved??
@@randomcosmoswave Not sure about the liquid part but for me it felt like my head was going to burst, over time it went away but i wasn't the same person after that, but im not an expert on this so id recommend seeing a therapist if you can
