I needed this! :( having anxiety is tough, and it sucks. and knowing one of my favorite youtubers is also struggling with it too, but still motivating us, is so inspiring. ❤️ ty Deli!
Sul Sul Deli, I haven't finished watching the video yet but I just want to thank you already for sharing something personal to us. You and your videos helped me with my anxiety that's why I re-watch them.
thing is i wish i could say that. but quite frankly this video and the comments she is getting is actually raising my anxiety and here is the thing i know you do not care and infact will blame me for it because if i know her video and reading her comments will raise my anxiety or is raising my anxiety i should stop and not have started watching them(its what you would do) and are uncomfortable with me even talking to you and want me to stop.
Deli I just wanted to thank you for this post and how brave you are for doing it. Thank you and we all love you a lot
I don't usually watch vlogs, but this caught my attention. I struggled and still do struggle with severe anxiety. It started with a road trip and me getting sick on the way back. I hate the feeling of being "trapped". I always looked at your vids and thought whenever you said things like, "I am flying over to this country and that for EA or a wedding.", and thought of how jealous I was that people can go places and not be scared at all times. When I travel, I make bathroom stop plans that are just as important to me as the main plan. I do leave my house and go places, but anxiety springs up even if it's just a 30 minute ride. Now that I live in the South Georgia (United States), it's normal to have to drive 40 mins till you see another town or a bathroom. My luck... But the point is, I have always been so jealous of people who can travel and just go places without a care. But, I didn't know you struggled with things similar, in a sense. You are so strong! This is why I love your channel. You are such a real person. You keep being you.
My mom also has bathroom issues.She is scared to travel because of them. Please if you know how to treat this tell me. Thank you and wish you to get rid of anxiety(I have too so I know how bad it can get)❤
That’s very interesting about those studies. I’ve had anxiety on and off my whole life but I feel like it got SUPER bad after an oral surgery where I had to take a crap ton of antibiotics. My brain and gut just haven’t been the same since. Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of people can take something away from this video.
HeyyBrey I can’t even take some antibiotics due to them triggering gastritis. They’re terrible on stomachs. Maybe they do something to the good guy bacteria?
A similar thing happened to me, too. I was extremely sick with a combination of bronchitis and stomach flu, which took me several weeks and extensive medication to recover from. I think that the medications in addition to the enormous mental strain of recover led my depression/anxiety to start. Sad to know that others have faced this struggle in addition, but glad to know I'm not alone.
Very well said! 😁
Thank you so much for this, my anxiety has gotten so bad this year I haven’t been at school for nearly 6 months. Keep fighting, I love you ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that I hope your anxiety gets better soon! 😊
and i am guessing this video has helped you out a bit.
+Erin Flippers thank you 💙

My anxiety is very much physical first and then moves to mental too. I'll be in a totally normal, mostly comfortable situation and then get this pit in my stomach - then I start to freak. Thank you for being so honest and open Maddy! xx
Oh honey I understand what you go through. I have actually had anxiety my whole life ( I am 22) along with depression for years now. I feel like a pro now haha! Anyone who had questions can ask me! Love you Deli!! Stay strong!!
I should add I'm also not claiming to know it all. Just if anyone wants to ask something feel free!
I'm turning 22 next month and ive been having anxiety attacks since I was about 11
thank you for your comment but as someone who has anxiety myself i am not exactly sure you would be able to help me out personally like for most people you know what the soultion is for me. 1)i should not be on the internet 2)because i am not expericing it the typical way most people do i am obviously faking it 3)i should be going to see a doctor to fix me right now.
@@thewewguy8t88 I simply meant if they had questions about anxiety. I'm not here to fix anyone.
Hey, I have a few questions, I am 13 and I had anxiety for my whole life and I just found out that I also have brain seizures. And all I know is that noise and flashing lights triggers it. And my mom said when I was about 2, she said that I used to cry a lot and she would ask me why, and I would say it is watching me. I WAS SO CREEPED OUT WHEN SHE TOLDED ME THAT!! Anyway when I am in a panic attact I can’t breath well I can’t but can’t slow my breathing down I SWEAR I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING and if you have no tips that’s ok. I have lots of people helping me. I love my family.❤️
What are best ways to deal with anxiety? Xx
Deli, Thank You for sharing your struggles with us. Not only do I struggle with mental disorders, but I struggle with more than 4 of them. You are such an inspiration, and I love you!
I have social anxiety that is bought on by mental triggers (such as excessive worrying). And I haven't developed a way to control it yet. They are triggered usually during gatherings of people or if I have guests over and need to socialize with them, I tend to withdraw from conversations and stare blankly into space because I'm worried that I'm going to say something stupid. Everyone (including my family) thinks I'm weird because I can't have a normal conversation at social gatherings. But I tend to over think everything I say and it gets tiring so I tend not say much at all.
My anxiety also occurs when I have to talk to strangers, such as cashiers, or people on the phone. I never know what to say and I always stutter my words, or say too much. And I end each conversation thinking that the person Hates.
I would love to escape and be alone in my room (my room is my safe space, and I need it to escape day to day life), but unfortunately my anxiety happens at unavoidable times. I'm expected to remain seated at the table and talk to relatives, or something. Doesn't help my parents don't believe that Anxiety/Depression/Mental Illnesses are real, and since I've never shown any signs of it being a problem they just think I am rude.
Dylan Thomas I do exactly the same thing and my mom always yelled at me for being rude because I never “visited” with family/guest. And living on my own now, grocery shopping and going to work is the worst. I just can’t function properly around people. Being forced to work help me learn to suck it up a little bit but it’s still very much a struggle.
We all have been there once in our lifes and I understand but just so you know I'm here and your fans are here too! I'm so excited about this new thing you're doing on the weekends!❤❤❤👍🏻
Pandy Dandy it’s spelt psyched not siked
@@user-du2dq8li7k you didn't really have to be the grammar police here 😅 but what do you want for me to say thank you or????🤔((btw not trying to sounds mean like I generally want to know))
Omg chill I was just letting you know😂
@@user-du2dq8li7k I am chill sorry if I came off mean 😂👍🏻
Deli I’m so glad you’re opening up about this type of stuff. I think just seeing/hearing someone else talking about anxiety can help because it shows you’re not alone.
Knowing how connected your mental and physical wellbeing are is sooo important and it’s taken me a long time to realize that. I think my anxiety/depression started after I got a really bad concussion but I never connected the two until recently. I would just think, why do I feel so awful? Nothings wrong, what’s wrong with me?? But it wasn’t me, it was my body and that is so vital because you can’t blame yourself for how you feel. It is not your fault nor is it a choice.
Anyways, I’m so proud of you and I hope that this will be able to help people who deal with the same things. We love you deli!!
I was officially diagnosed with Clinical Depression(major depressive disorder) and generalized anxiety disorder when I was 7 years old.
The best guess they have is that the traumatic experience of losing both my grandmothers less than 3 days apart caused my anxiety, but my depression is biological. I've always had it. I can recall bouts of depression as early as kindergarten and first grade.
Both my conditions are "controlled," but of course it's an ongoing battle every day. Thank you so much for these ideas to manage my anxiety. It's so easy to just "tough it out" and for me to be driven to a state of exhaustion that then leads to a depressive episode. Thank you for being honest and open. That alone means the world to me and I'm sure thousands of other people who follow you. ❤
It's beautiful knowing that there's people that feel what you feel; that you're not alone. I don't know why but makes me feel better when I watch or listen to people that are living what I am feeling. It's being a lot of time from the last panic attack that I had. What I do when I feel that it's coming anxiety it's just start looking around myself and count random things; I know it looks silly, but it works with me. (SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH BUT I AM ITALIAN AND I'M 13) I hope I've helped you some way❤️
It's "good" to see that more people have the same problems as you, that you are not alone. Thank you for this video!
It's really great of you to be so open about your anxiety and helps others that struggle with it as well. I too never grew up with it, but I think it came from trauma. I've gone from a fighter to a flighter, to a freezer. The things that help me the most is being in a quiet place. My bedroom is my "safe place". I also find (kind of like your thigh squeeze) that when I'm worked up in a situation I can't just leave I'll pump my hands into a fist... also heavy metal really helps. ahaha I don't know if it's just the vibrations or what, but I'll go for a drive with the music blaring to calm me down.
As someone who has anxiety, thank you so much for talking about it. Especially talking about how anxiety is different for everyone. Talking about ways that help you and can help others was honestly great so hear
This helped me so much. I know a lot of people struggle with anxiety but on the flip side.. when you go to talk about it with certain people they tell you you're just "shy" and nothing sucks more than being told to get over it. So thank you for putting this out there. You're a very strong woman! Keep up the amazing work!
Putting on music or a youtube video helps a lot when I'm feeling anxious. I keep specific playlists (that I work on when I'm not anxious) that are my go-to when my brain starts to freak out. It honestly just helps to have something to focus on other than your anxiety.
I'd also definitely recommend talking to a friend if you are prone to anxiety attacks. When I was in school a friend of mine told me about her panic attacks, and we decided if I noticed her starting to panic I'd be the one to talk to the teacher and take her out of the room so she wouldn't have to explain herself during the episode. We never actually had to do it, but it really helped to have a plan just in case.
everyone feels anxiety and stress, it makes us connect more with you as you talk about your own anxiety. anxiety is a daily struggle for me, I feel most anxious around a crowd and I often get panic attack when I’m surrounded by too many people. Watching your videos as I am in a crowded train helps me so much and I’m grateful for knowing you on youtube❤️
thanks so much deli, keep doing videos like these it’s so much interesting❤️
I love how you can openly talk about what you have to go through every day. I don't have anxiety myself but hearing someone talk about it means I can sympathise with people more. It's incredible that you can do what you do every day while going through something like anxiety. Don't ever feel like you're not good enough because girl, we don't deserve you. Keep being amazing ❤
I am glad that you did a video like this. For over 9 years I have suffer from depression and anxiety. I do know that exercise will help and it does. But what really helps me is playing my video games believe it or not. Most especially any of my puzzle or Sims games really helps me a lot. Most especially my beloved Sims games. After what happen over 9 years ago. That force me to suffer from depression. I turn to video games as one of my ways to help me deal with my depression. And my Sims games most especially my Sims 3 and the Sims 4 games. Has been real helpful for me. And I have been a Sims fan ever since 2004. When the Sims 2 base game first came out. And I never realized until I have started to suffer from both anxiety and depression over from what happen June of 9 years ago. Just how helpful they been for me.
And just like you Deli I too like to be left alone. Which is why I love it when I get the whole house to myself. When my mother and my step father go away some where for a few hours or so. They want me to start going with them again. Like I used to before I started to suffer from depression. But on most days I prefer to just stay at home. And besides someone has to watch our 2 cats. Especially since they normally don't like to be left alone. Which is another main reason why I prefer staying at home. And not just because of my depression making me feel that way.
As a person who struggles with anxiety daily, thank you for speaking about this difficult subject so publicly. You're a fantastic role model Deli, love you! ❤
Thank you for posting this, Deli. I know how hard it must have been for you to share all of this, and I admire your braveness! I hope over time your anxiety decreases. I've been a high-functioning high-anxiety person all my life (to the point that my husband says my version of relaxed is other's version of stressed) but after having my baby boy and returning back to my toxic work environment, I never knew just HOW absolutely debilitating anxiety and depression (or post-partum depression) could be. Your videos (and Semaj's) have been something I've used to relax since getting worse. I appreciate your sharing this because it gives some tips that might help others struggling, and just hearing someone else's story can help out so many. Thank you for your bravery, Deli!
Very informative, I’ve suffered with anxiety and panic disorder for over 20 years. Thank you for sharing your story and how to deal with it, it’s a learned ability to calm down and when all else fails a therapist once told me “what goes up must come down” so the feeling will pass. sometimes it’s just accepting that you have it and finding the best way to cope. Hugs to all who deal with anxiety, depression and any other invisible illness
Thank you so much for speaking out. You are one of my inspirations for your public kindness and bravery. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and major depression disorder, but I don’t let that keep me down! Keep pushing through. You are amazing to so many people!
I suffer from anxiety as well, and it's so encouraging to see someone I look up to and who is very successful has the same thing. I've always found your videos and your entire self very calming, and you help me deal with my anxiety, so thank you for that immensely ❤❤❤
As an anxiety sufferer I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this. You're a strong, kind soul. Inspiring us all daily. Much loveeee 💕
I’ve struggled with my anxiety and depression since I was a kid and was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. Mine only got worse when my grandpa passed away when I was 6 years old due to lung cancer. This video really helped me and you’re so brave for posting it, I love you Deli, stay strong ❤️
Gorgeous house! Also I deal with mad anxiety, and depression. My life is very crazy. I had to watch my dad get dragged out of a car and get beaten with bats, many times (my dad's a drug addict and is in a coma at the moment ). I've had anxiety all of my life, and it's crazy. I'm...My life's crazy, but you've helped me so thank you SO, SO much! You help me so much everyday, so thank you for that. I love you so much! (:
Gee that’s heavy
@@skylarmurray4771 Way worse has happened, you'd understand if your dad was a drug addict...
@@optimal_gaming6825 I hope that youre safe and that you have a good mom too take care of you
@@Miriam-pq4vx thanks, and my mum is an amazing supportive person and I am so lucky for that. (:
As someone who has suffered severe anxiety as a result of PTSD (since childhood), I truly appreciate your transparency.
Managing the 'fight or flight' responses is exhausting. I'm glad you're finding ways to manage it all. 💖
Thank you, Deli for making this video. There is a huge support system for any of us suffering with each type of anxiety or such.
I’ve only had anxiety for 3 months now (today literally marks the third month) and the symptoms (fast heart rate, muscle clenching, pain etc.) are not too bad overall. What is really terrible is just ONE symptom: derealization/depersonalization. It’s terrible and it’s because of the anxiety. I hate this so much and it makes me feel like I’m slipping away or losing myself. I’m so scared that it will never go away or it’ll take years to go away but I just want this to stop now! Thank you sooo much for this video Deli. I really appreciate it.
I first started watching your videos when I was going through a rough patch for a couple months with my anxiety and depression. They made me happier and entertained me with something that was better than what I was feeling inside. So, all your videos have helped me, and this video has helped me too. Thanks for sharing something I know is hard to talk about!
Thanks for being vulnerable Deli. It's only this year that I've learned just how bad/horrible anxiety can be. My 10 year old has ASD/SPD and the anxiety that goes with this. Between Feb and June this year he was at school for only 6 out of the 20 weeks of the semester due to his anxiety. There were good days when I could get him to school and bad days when at the mention of school he would just roll over and not get out of bed. Once again thank-you for your vulnerability and authenticity in sharing and yes your techniques are the same as his for dealing with his anxiety. Much love from the Ghumby Trail.
I admire you for sharing your personal story. So many people don’t understand anxiety or mental health because it’s difficult to explain. Thanks for shedding some light. Much love ❤️
Deli I just wanted to say how brave you are to open up about this, and I want to thank you for doing this 💕✨ Stay strong!!! We love you 💞
Deli I just wanted to say well done for giving some really good advice for your viewers. I have taught people anxiety management and used it myself and you have given excellent techniques on reducing it. Thank you
Thank you for this. I suffer from separation anxiety and "stress about Love one anxiety". I definitely belive mine is phisical and mental. My first big "panic attack" happen (age 23) when my long distance relationship started and I lived across country from all my loved ones. My hand got pins and needles and then it was my face(stroke came to mind) I could not have a normal conversation or remember small facts of my day when I spoke over the phone to my parents. The world felt fast around me and talking is kind of outer body, I breathe slowly but is feels like it does not reach my longs. I can also pin point the stress(right in the middle of my forehead) I drove myself to ER and I was there for 4 hours, just not wanting to be alone. My anxiety is not about being alone in a room or like that it's knowing that you can't be with the once you love( I can spend weeks alone, and I have, if I know they are a call away. I really love alone time) the day after I was okay-ish, my teeth felt lose in my mouth WEIRD! Now 4 years later I only had it a hand full of time maybe two. One thing I noticed is that my bloood pressure goes up to unhealthy numbers but my sugar stays fine. And one more thing, I had it since I was young but I did not know what was wrong with me. I had a feeling of being compressed and the world is yelling at me. I know the way it sounds! My mom even asked "do you pray?" Haha. I had to laugh at that even though I was a child. Just so everyone knows I grew up is a super loving home, lost of love and hugs.
Things that help me:
- being around loved ones (just chilling)
- fresh juice or water
- siting in front of a fan and talking in to it
- making myself laugh and just not being so serious, know it will pass
- not thinking about anxiety helps me, sometimes talking about it often or being a round other anxious people makes me anxious.
“I” believe what you think about and talk about daily is what materializes in your life. I'm not saying ignore it and don't ever get help, if you need it get it. It's just something that worked for me.
Thanks D for your openness and enjoy my essay. ;)
As someone who sufferes severe anxiety I want to say thank you for this video. It's good to be able to relate to someone who goes through similar situations as you. Thank you
Thank you for sharing Deli! It really does help when people we idolize can show us that they are real and normal and struggle with the same kinds of issues we struggle with. It's a relief to know we aren't alone and that someone else is brave enough to speak out about it
Thank you so much for making this video, Deli. We love you
Thank you for posting this ❤️ After being diagnosed with anxiety and going through horrible panic attacks I have really struggled to enjoy my life. Thankfully I had the help of my therapist and after a year I’m starting to actually feel confident in myself and my ability to live. I’m right with you girl you’re not alone ❤️❤️
Hey Deli, I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and binge watched all your videos. I love how unique your content is and how you make an effort to connect with your viewers. This video is a prime example of that. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open.
My anxiety is physical before mental! I get cold sweats and shivers, even in warm rooms... it's really annoying... but deep breathing is pretty helpful. Thanks for sharing Deli
Thanks for being willing to talk with us total strangers about this. I have friends with anxiety issues and I like knowing ways to help them during those times their brains won’t let them use their words. :)
I love that you're sharing this Deli!! Anxiety is god awful. As someone who has suffered with severe anxiety since I was eight years old (I'm 24 now) and have been in and out of treatment, it's great to see more acceptance and understanding in the world. When I had a big relapse in 2015 your videos kept me company. Now I'm in school finishing my Masters and going on for a Ph.D (if accepted!) in Clinical Psychology to help those like myself. Doing the one thing that used to trigger me most. I just wanted to say, at least with my experience , even if your anxiety is more physical than mental, therapy, specifically Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, can often times help people to stop fearing the anxiety or it's symptoms, to stop the severity of it, or to help manage symptoms. Obviously everyone reacts differently to it, it may not help at all, but for me and the people I've met on my journey it has saved our lives. Regardless of the type of therapy, I think EVERYONE, even the healthiest person in the world with no trace of mental illness (if that even exists!) could benefit from talk therapy. Talking to a professional who understands the human emotions can be so helpful. I've been a year without it and keep putting off finding a new therapist since I moved, but I really should go look for one. Walk like I talk ;)
These lifestyle videos you've been making lately are such a great addition to your Sims videos. Thank you for sharing something so personal with us and letting us know how you cope. ❤️
Hey Deli. You're so strong, sharing your personal struggles. Thank you! I think that all your advice is spot-on! My first BF suffered from Panic Attacks, the most common location for these was shopping malls and other really busy, packed locations. For him I would gently guide him outside, where I would sit him down (in a quieter spot) and just sit next to him, a little contact (leg to leg or something), so there's safe human contact without any pressure... I'd only ask if he wanted to talk or not (once outside in the quieter spot), and just take his lead. It always worked for him. By oneself that's more difficult, but you're right.... Just removing one from a situation to a quieter spot really works wonders. Thank you again for sharing, you are truly an Angel. Much Love & Light, Marc
I know this video is a bit old, but it was really enlightening to hear someone else describe their anxiety as "physical before mental." It's the exact same way for me. I struggle a lot because my boyfriend has really severe anxiety and so I feel a bit silly when my body feels anxious but I don't know what's causing it. Like I get dizzy and I feel like I can't get enough air and my stomach gets upset with butterflies but I'm not worried about anything in particular. I've never thought about there being a difference between the two. So thank you, I really appreciate this. I feel seen.
I havn't been able to watch this video till now, but I wanted to say thank you so much for making this.
I hate it when people say to take deep breaths, I cant because my breathing is fast and uncontrollable. My anxiety started when I was in Primary school and I had a panic attack. when I went to secondary school (comp, highschool comprehensive school, whatever) It went worse my anxiety wasnt as bad as now though. I have autism too so thats probably what makes me so anxious because even walking down the corridors in the crowd makes me feel sick and dizzy. About last year I started having depression episodes and Ive been to councelling but that didnt help, I do feel very low all the time but your videos ease all my problems (and sims ofc). This year Ive been feeling really sick on weekends because I know school is in less than 24 hours and even when I wake up in the morning to go to school I feel sick, sometimes I feel clammy (weird feeling of cold and sweaty), dizzy, overwhelmed, sick, faint and I dont really have much coping strategies.
I cant get any one to one support because "I seem fine because my work is good" but mentally Im going crazy. Im having auditory hallucinations and I've started to talk to myself in my head (I dont have any friends, but I dont want any anyway).
Im going to get medication for my anxiety and insomnia soon.
Again, thank u deli for this video.
Edit: When I cant control my breathing I do drink water, its works for me anyway.
Thank you!! The way you spoke about anxiety was really optimistic and practical and to be honest it was refreshing! I have anxiety and PTSD and your video made me feel a bit more hopeful about managing my symptoms and just less alone in general. It doesn't all have to be doom and gloom. Thank you :)
Delli, I have suffered from anxiety, severe depression, with episodes of mania for years, the struggle is real; I am glad you decided to talk about this it is hard to talk about things like this, I love the fact that you mentioned breathing, and walking. those are the 2 things I find work the best for me. the last 4 years have been the worse for me; I have struggled for years fighting a war within myself, it has been very debilitating for me that I had to get an intermittent leave of absence. The episodes continued to get worse as the days went by and I found myself missing life and a lot of work, But what I want to say is when I finally made the decision to leave my job that I might add I had for twelve years and it has only been the last four years that has been exhaustively worse which was the main cause of my episodes, I felt peace finally, it was the best thing I ever could have done. My episodes are less frequent, and I am in a job now though it is less pay I am finally at peace within myself. I am not saying that everyone should leave there jobs and as you said every individual that may suffer with this is different but if one of the triggers is a toxic relationship, or a job it helps to re-evaluate the situation and in a calm moment really think about that which is the root cause of the episodes. One thing that I choose to do in my episodes was during this time find a place if I was in public I went to my car I got out my note pad and started to write what I was feeling with controlled breathing, I write a lot and one of the things I also do is keep journals and I have several journals when I have an episode and when I come down from one and then I go through what I call what happened this is when I am finally thinking rational I can try to understand what happened what the trigger was and what brought me back from the dark place is what I call it. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for posting this! I have PTSD and I really appreciate one of my favorite youtubers talking about anxiety disorders. ❤️
I didn’t even watch yet but you are such a ray of sunshine when I’m feeling down, I love hearing you get excited about your sims you make and how beautiful you think they are especially when you make woc sims. 🖤
I can’t express how grateful I am for this video Deli, I suffer from anxiety and I’ve just been able to talk to my school therapist. I love you Deli, thank you so much x I suffer from the type of anxiety where I’m scared of what is going to happen. I wonder if someone will hurt me or someone I love. It stops me from becoming happy and allowing me to go to big cities or places with crowds. Knowing the people that I look up to have suffered and are suffering from anxiety helps me. I now know that I’m not alone and that other people are just like me, feeling trapped or afraid. I would lie if I said this hasn’t affected me and that I’m ok. Because I know that I’m not. But what I do know is that people are there for me. And that sure does help. Thank you
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I experience anxiety as well and have for 10 years now. Just today I had a panic attack and I was starting to feel guilty of canceling my plans for the day because I needed to recover, and some people didn't understand why. You're advice really resonated with me and gave me peace of mind for doing what I need to take care of myself. Thank you for sharing your story and offering your advice. Sharing about anxiety is extremely scary to do sometimes but it's amazing that you did, it really did make a difference.
I do not know if this is proper anxiety, but about a month ago I used to feel something like this. I was fine during the day but at night, as soon as I turned the lights out I used to get this horrible sick feeling and all these worries used to come over me, and I got really upset and had horrible thoughts and stuff like that. I don’t really think that’s anxiety but I couldn’t get to sleep because of it.
I don’t get it much anymore, I think it’s because I used to watch loads of mystery videos and missing person videos so they provoked this fear.
Thanks for sharing your story Deli, and also thank you if you made it this far. 😌❤️
Thank you thank you thank you! I suffer anxiety and panic disorder for the last four years. I’m currently medicated and going to psychiatrist and the one question EVERYONE even therapists keep asking me is ‘What are you thinking before it?’ ‘What triggers it?’ And I DONT KNOW I really don’t know. You are the first person I’ve ever heard describing exactly what I feel, just word by word.. for me too my anxiety has nothing to do with my thinking.. it’s mostly just physical. Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone.. it’s very frustrating not knowing what causes it.. thank you Deli.. I wish I had somebody around me who understands what I go through but it’s nice to hear that I am not so alone in this.
Learning how to properly breath through my stomach was such a game changer! Every time someone told me take deep breaths it just wouldn't work but after I started doing yoga I finally understood how realxing breathning can be! Love you Deli
Thanks for being so open about this! I also suffer from Anxiety, and it's been a long process learning how to deal with it, but things have improved for me so much! I wish you all the strength to make it through. I love your channel, and now I love it even more! Looking forward to Weekends with Deli!
I appreciate this post so much. Our anxiety is very similar and it was so nice to hear you talking about it. I struggle so much with people dismissing it like it's nothing at all. You're so brave to do this. And you answered my question from Twitter, so thank you so much. ❤️
For the past week I’ve been to the doctors twice, had a blood test and an ultrasound on my thyroid all because (well I believe) from my anxiety. I have really bad chest pain, tightness in my throat, shortness of breath and a fast heart rate. The doctors told me I’m just under in my white blood cells, my iron, and my thryroid. I wish more people would give awareness to anxiety and panic attacks because it’s something not mentioned enough. Panic attacks have similar symptoms as a heart attack as well 😔 Thank you for this video Deli 💖
Baby Gemini 99 yes I have panic attacks also and it just sucks no matter how many times I know I’m having anxiety or panic attacks I always think I’m dying or something is wrong with me cause of the symptoms of the panic attack and anxiety it just sucks and wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy!!
You’re honestly the best and just seem like such a beautiful soul. It’s truly an honour to be subscribed to you. ❤️ I’ve never experienced anxiety but I genuinely wanted to hear about your experiences and I’m glad you talked about them. ❤️
Thanks Deli, I know i'm a few days late but a lot of your videos help me. I dot have anxiety attacks, but when I am frustrated I watch your videos and they help me feel better. It's really tough to share something to the internet that is personal, so thank you!
I think I comment this everytime you talk about your anxiety online but I really want to say thank you! I think you are so brave to talk about it openly on the internet and I admire you for it. You also inspire me to one day be able to talk about it without being embarrassed. Thanks for sharing your experiences and for your tips, it helped me during my trip during last summer. Knowing your anxiety was triggered by travelling, when I felt the symptoms myself I felt more secured and was able to calm down quickly :) So yeah, thanks again xxx
thank you for opening up deli. i have serious anxiety as well and it’s really comforting to know that the person i look up to in the simming community has it too, so thank you. i just started watching, i’m about a minute and a half in and i’m really interested to hear your story. everyone’s anxiety stories are different and in weird ways everyone can relate. and lastly before i post this comment i’d like to say how brave you are for posting this, go you! 🥳💓 love u 🥰
Thank you for being so open about your anxiety I struggle with anxiety a lot I actually had to go to a hospital for 2 weeks because of it and i wasn’t able to leave the house for 5 month it was really hard and thank you it’s amazing to hear you talk about it
Thank you for posting this Deli!
It's super brave of you to make this video and be so open about your anxiety.
I have struggled with anxiety my whole life and panic attacks since I was 12.
When you talk about your struggles with anxiety, I hope you know you're helping people who are also dealing with it and it really helps to know they're not alone, that someone they look up to goes through the same thing!
❤
I am suffering with PTSD following a terror attack, I want to thank you for your message at the end it really picked me up today as I am struggling a lot atm! Thankyou so much for making me feel like I can have a panic attack and still be a normal person, some people don’t see it like that 💓 xx
Thank you so much for posting something like this, I’ve had anxiety since I was 8 and I’ve also had depression since I was 8, I’m 11 now. It’s hard to have both. My anxiety isn’t the best, I have very bad social anxiety and it’s just hard, very hard. When I have an anxiety attack I start to eat or even sometimes I don’t eat I just lock myself in my room. It really does help when you tubers are open with anxiety and depression cause it makes me think I’m not alone on what I’m going thru. I love u deli thank u ❤️
Thank you for being so courageous. I could hear your voice trembling & on the verge of tears so I’m sure this was a very difficult video for you to make. My husband suffers from Chronic Anxiety Syndrome (amongst other things, like Fibromyalgia) so we live with these situations every day. Mostly he feels like he’s having a heart attack and we rush to the emergency room. He’s on medication now and has also learnt coping skills that help him, and I can see on his face when an attack is coming, sometimes before he does, so I start a few little techniques that work for him, to help him. He can’t be around crowds, can’t be in confined spaces. Anxiety is real. It’s difficult not only for the sufferer, but the entire close unit. Again, thank you for your courage Deli. Education is empowerment. My heart goes out to you and all your audience that suffer from it. 💕
The gut thing is really interesting. I never really got anxious until I got a stomach ulcer my senior year of high school which was awful. I would get super worked up about going to school and having to leave if it flared up. I get days now where I am just super uneasy and overwhelmed. I have only ever had a few “panic attacks” but they were only when I tried to push past the uneasiness or when I put too much pressure on myself. I really appreciate you being so open and honest about your experiences with anxiety. No two people are the same which is important to remember when dealing with any kind of mental or physical health. It is brave to open up to! 💕 keep on being amazing
For some reason going through this I felt like I was the only one. I’m glad to know there’s someone that understands. I developed anxiety after finding out I had heart problems and needed to have surgery. It was really bad in the beginning but it has gotten better. It’s still there, but I’m better. Thank you for this video. It was very brave of you, you’re helping plenty of people.
Congrats Del for talking about this, through your courage, you have inspired and assisted other's and it also reminds us that we are human and not alone if we ask and listen to other's who have the same conditions, plus brining awareness. Proud of you Del, congrats and thank you for speaking up
Something I’ve found that helps me tremendously when I feel the beginnings of an attack lurking is listening to my happy playlist. And I don’t mean just my favorite songs, I mean those few songs that either give me chills or an unexplainable wave of joy and I just feel giddy when I listen to them. Hopefully that makes sense. My playlist has actually prevented several attacks and I usually feel much better. I really hope this can be of help to someone. Music seriously has insane healing powers ♥️
thank you so much for this! i’m 13 and i have anxiety. proud of you for opening up and helping all of us out as well
Thank you for this video Deli ! I've always suffered from anxiety/depression but it's the first time I hear about anxiety that starts physically so it was really interesting and informative. I absolutely love how natural and true you are, I'm so glad I found your channel :)
Love from Switzerland !
This was so helpful Deli. I especially liked how you talked about how everyones anxiety is different.
Mine is very intense but its quite random as to when it will be triggered. I often get the shakes and kind of shut down. I won't respond verbally to anything and i'll try to find a place where i can be alone.
I am getting better at finding my limits as to what will cause anxiety and what won't and i have a lovely therapist who is supporting me.
The current theory is that being severly bullied in high school is what started my anxiety.
I don't have anxiety, but I think, it's really brave of you to talk openly about it and try to help other people with it.
as someone with lifelong anxiety (and depression) myself, I first want to say thank you for sharing this with us and being so strong and brave! we adore you and i'm glad you can be so open with us. (also, i love these get to know deli videos where you're just sitting and talking to us! :D)
personally, where it comes to anxiety for me, it's a lot like the second definition you read. the feeling or thought that something is going to happen or could happen in a given situation. most of the time, my triggers are social-related, but i also have strong vehicle triggers (i've been in several car accidents, which is where that came from) and storm triggers (i live in tornado alley in the united states and the storm triggers is what got me diagnosed with anxiety as a child). it's interesting being someone for who anxiety is very much a mental first and physical after and then hearing from someone like you, who's opposite. definitely puts a different perspective out there.
I dont know why I cried at the end. Thank you so much for this Deli ❤️
thx for doing this deli. I am proud of you for being so vulnerable and open with us. your a great female role model that we need. Since I suffer with anxiety this made me feel like I am not alone.
i’ve been really struggling with anxiety lately and this video makes me feel so much more “normal”. thank you deli 💘💘💘
Thank you for making this type of video!! It's nice to know that we aren't alone in battling anxiety, & to learn new ways to cope with it... Mine started in high school, then chronic illness with many abdominal surgeries made it worse, along with severe depression... I know that it isn't true, but sometimes those two things make me feel like I'm not strong enough & not normal... It's nice to hear from someone else who experiences this & to know we aren't weak at all!! Love & hugs!!
Deli thanks for teaching me so many ways to cool down my anxiety i find it hard to be in large groups of people older than me and i have really scary panic attacks in my sleep it might have to do with some personal things going on in my life but to me being anxious puts me out of character and turned people away because they didn’t understand me for who i was but now i am happy with people who understand me and still be my friends even when i am anxious
That study about gut heath and anxiety actually explains a lot for me. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2014, and I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder a couple months later. In case you don’t know, Crohn’s is an autoimmune disease of the intestines. That same year two close family members died. That probably added to it. Thank you for sharing your experience Deli, your channel has helped me deal with my anxiety, and you always make me smile ❤️
Working out really helps out with mental health! I have depression and agoraphobia and I've tried to do one of those yoga challenges and even if it's not much, after the "session" I feel so much better than before. It motivates me to go on with my day and do stuff that normaly i wouldn't want to do, like go to the grocery store lol. I love those kind of videos Deli and I think it's good bonding experience for the community to talk about these things
Thank you so much Deli. I am so proud of you for uploading this. Just know that we are always here for your support. I struggle with the same types of things as you and this was really helpful. I love you!❤️
I just wanted to say that even though my anxieties and other mental heath issues are very different just these videos with people opening up about stuff like this is always helpful, I have had social anxiety my entire life, general anxiety most of my life and a I recently gained panic disorder and PTSD. I understand the struggle. Every single video like this one is helpful. Thank you for using your platform to open up and help people like me and you feel better. Even if it’s just for 18 minutes. Thanks for sharing ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story Deli! You have no idea how much it means to hear people I look up to , suffering from things like I do. thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing, I know how hard it can be to talk about. I've had anxiety and started having attacks when I was about 11 years old. I'm turning 22 next month; many people I've talked to say the hardest part of anxiety or a really hard part is knowing and remembering that they didn't have it before and they remember living without it. I don't really remember life without it.
For me anxiety is mental before physical. It starts with little thoughts or second guesses or feelings of inadequacy or being unsafe. These slowly build up which is the physical part (for me) because I feel it in my stomach and chest and head. They all hurt and the feelings knot in my stomach. The anxiety is small and slowly builds; sometimes I purposely trigger them because they will build for days or weeks or months. The longer they or the bigger the knots feel the worse the attack can become and ive actually developed a slight agoraphobia from this because I'm so scared to have an attack in public i dont like leaving my hours without reason.
I use to self harm when I was around 12-15 because of different reasons buy even though I've stopped when I have am attack sometimes I end up doing it again (I used to bit myself so hard the marks have actually left light scars on my wrists) because idk I just feel like I'm not really alive and my hands and arms gets really numb. This is so scary but I always make sure I get away from people because I don't want to scare my younger sisters and relatives. Counseling made it worse because I would have attacks just thinking and knowing I had to go. And I have a high tolerance for meds so I'm scared they won't work
I was so excited when I saw the vid title! I think this vid was amazing. You really respected everyone. As a fellow sufferer of anxiety, it was nice to see 💛
This is really amazing Deli. Honestly. I only occasionally deal with anxiety but I just find it so amazing that you are doing such a great thing with your influence from your channel. You are remarkable and gorgeous on the inside and out. Thank you for sharing something so personal ❤️
Thank you so much for opening your heart like this to us. I’ve been paying attention to all the stories you’ve told about your anxiety and when I saw you posted this video I got really happy and excited. I’ve been dealing with anxiety too and it feels good to know I’m not alone in this “battle”. Thank you again for your courage and keep with the good work. Love from Portugal xo
Deli! I’m new here but I’m proud of you for talking about it. I’ve struggled and sometimes people don’t know how to voice how they feel and you did that for them!
Deli, this video really helped me. I’m 14 and I have social anxiety. Some times I literally can’t get out of bed because of it. I get made fun of by my own family for it because I don’t go to school because of it. And because of this I thought it was a bad thing. I thought I was the only one with this, I thought no one understood what it was, but this video really helped me because I now know that I’m not alone, many people struggle with anxiety. And not all people are going to say things about you because of it. Love you deli❤️
I relate completely to this. I developed GAD after suffering from pancreatitis. You're very brave for posting this up ❤️
We relate in so many ways and I appreciate you opening up, it helps me and a lot of others too. It’s good to know I’m not alone.
Thank you for talking about it. I have pretty chronic anxiety, but the coping skills I learned help a lot. If it's a full blown anxiety attack, using a grounding exercise helps me a ton. Regularly, I will talk (in my head) to myself reassuringly, I try to break tasks into really small steps (because executive dysfunction gets me overwhelmed), and if I'm anxious about doing something adult-y I will try to imagine myself in the role of an "adult who can do that."
