You are so real and inspiring. This story really shows what it feels like to live with anxiety. We are so happy we got to be a part of sharing your story. Keep up the amazing work!
I am 99% sure I have anxiety too. It has gotten a lot worse this past year and it's seriously a struggle. People honestly think I don't like anyone so they don't want to talk to me but I'm a very positive person so I know it will get better.
I just went to the hospital for anxiety and it's fucking awful. I had to be there for 7 hours fml. Going back tomorrow/trying to convince my parents to get me out of it
I hope you guys enjoyed this video! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! P.s - my eyes are super red in this video because I didn't get any sleep last night lol #nightowlforlife
I think it will really help. We all get nervous at times, but most people, especially kids, don't talk about generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. I didn't even find out that's what I had till I was an adult and couldn't figure out why it was getting worse and why I would have an attack at random times. I wish they did more of these type of things when I was younger, but hopefully this will benefit a lot of people that may not even know that's what they have.
+Michelle Gilbert I didn't even realize I had an anxiety disorder until I started watching Jessii's vids! Not because I hadn't heard about it, but because I'd only had a few actual attacks in my life. I also have ASD (an autistic disorder) so I spent my life ignoring my feelings as much as possible. I definitely would've had a lot more panic attacks if I'd've been paying attention though.
+Psychic Kitty It is sad to me that it is really not discussed, when I was younger I started seeing a therapist & doctors and none even brought it up, but when I figured it out I did get a med from a doctor (generic xanax) that he told me to take everyday when it's an as needed med! highly addictive. I'm still on it years later & a higher dose because your body gey used to the dose & stops working. one day not even that long into having the medicine I decided I don't want to take this, there's other solutions so I got rid of them. I felt like I was going to die within a day, called my doc (at that time) & that's when he said I could go into a seizure & die at any moment! it's been a huge struggle & now the meds give me more anxiety because I know what will happen if I run out. I was young & trusted my doctor. now I do my research on any med. the sad thing is that I hadn't heard of "zany bars" at the time & I know kids get them off the street & probably 98% don't know the consequences if they get addicted or take them too many days in a row. All it takes is a week to 2 weeks straight for the body to start to Need them & that scares me for other people & kids. it's best to stay busy & not think about it. I hope you're doing well! Feel free to talk to me anytime, you can private message me & I'll give you my number. I don't even have people to talk me down out of an attack because people that don't have it don't get it & it took us years, but we finally found 1 group that you can go to with other people with anxiety or panic or both. Even autism most don't understand, but they've heard of it. I used to work with people with all kinds of disorders ranging from minor to severe. And people don't even know that there's even different levels of autism. I think these videos are great. Let me know if you ever need something. it's nice to find people with similar issues all because of this video. Have a great rest of the week!
Honestly sounds like a really really bad asthma attacks I had for no reason. Turns out it was just all the *BODYSPRAY* my asthma attacks morphed into anxiety attacks a lot when younger.
+Philine Mans yeah but if I told someone, my parents would be told. They don't believe in things like these. They said to me that when I got depression to 'fix it and stop asking for attention'. Life sucks but I hope things get better for you!
Wow, that's pretty hard. If you're okay with doing the work though, I just posted a vid on how to control and manage anxiety. The technique has made it possible for me to post videos in spite of having major anxiety issues. I get scared just trying to start a drawing! I'm just scared of EVERYTHING. It's pretty bad, but I can live life in spite of it now!
tell them, if you dont your anxiety will become larger and larger, why not tell them ?? they are your parents and will accept you just like the way you are!! same as friends, they will stay and the only thing that will change is the anxiety. do it. hope you get better :)
I have had OCD for over 5 years now, and the way she describes anxiety attacks is 👌🏻. Even though I’m 10 years old, when I need my mom I NEED MY MOM. Period. It’s because she suffers from OCD as well, and she knows how to calm me down. I could be at a friends house, happy as could be and out of a nowhere, panic washes over me and I start having an anxiety attack. If you have OCD im sure you could relate with me 😔
I feel like this portrays anxiety disorders and what we go through so well. There needs to be so much more awareness and people like you putting it out there really helps. It gives us that maybe don't have the confidence a voice and gives us a chance to be heard. Love you
I have a super anxiety disorder, in class I have to leave at some points, just like Jessii. My guidance councilor gave me 2 types of paper with 20 of each. They were pink and blue. Blue meant I'm having trouble with my disorder. The pink one is for if I felt one coming. It has helped me a little bit! Thanks for this amazing animation!
I batell depression and trichophagia I tried for treatment but that didn't work and I've decoupled anxiety I rarely smile and have fun but then I found you Jessii soon after that I was smileing and watching more of your vids you've helped me do much Jessii thank you also sorry for my spelling am Mexican
Thank you for sharing this story! I'm glad you have been able to conquer your anxiety as much as you have; you are a great example for us all. Story booth sounds cool. My stories are all pretty frightening and not appropriate for the young ones, but I might send in something.
THANK U THANK U THANK U! I have been struggling with OCD ever since I was 7 years old. It's so hard having to leave class every once in a while because you just can't handle it anymore. I'm so glad that I have someone like you who can relate to me. OCD is so much more than being a "neat freak", in fact, for me the worst part about it is the compulsive thoughts and anxiety attacks that just come out of no where. Anyone feel free to talk to me if you're struggling with anything similar.
I have severe OCD as well. And my teachers all told me to not cave into the urges. Yeah, because I can just do that. It's not like I have a DISORDER or anything. Facepalm.
I have severe OCD as well. And my teachers all told me to not cave into the urges. Yeah, because I can just do that. It's not like I have a DISORDER or anything. Facepalm.
I have anxiety too. My anxiety is about me being sick. Like even though I'm going to be fine, I still get panic attacks. I can handle it much better now.
I have emetophobia too, but it covers basically every end of the spectrum; the word, the action in myself and others. I think the only problem is that it’s a childhood phobia and therapy can’t do anything about it but I’m glad you’ve found a way to handle things!
When I was little (preschool to1st grade) every time my mom would drop me off at school I would start crying. I did it every single day it got to a point where my mom had to stay with me for the first few minutes then sneak off when I wasn't looking. And when I noticed she wasn't there I started to cry again but I don't think I ever did because I didn't want to get caught crying and be made fun of, but a few tears would slip down my Cheek every once in a while. I always had a hard time making friends because I was so shy and awkward. And I never raised my hand in class because I didn't wanna get laughed at if I had a answer wrong or I pronounced something wrong. Anyway this video is kinda what happened to me when I was younger but I wouldn't say I had a anxiety disorder. I was just really really shy.
This was so touching jess. Too think that this amazing person had an anxiety disorder is just unbelievable. That therapist must of had a big impact on your life! I'm just so glad you got through it. We all love you too Jess. And remember, we're all here whenever you feel alone,scared or worried. We love you, and if you carry on doing what your doing, the anxiety will gradually get better and better until it's practically gone. I mean, if you didn't make this video I would never of known you had an anxiety disorder, and I'm sure many people will agree. I love you Jess, Lucy xoxo
So I hate being in big crowds and talking to people and I avoid doing those things whenever possible. I think I experience anxiety attacks and I tell my mom that I can't talk to people and that I hate big crowds and can't be in them but she always says "Stop being so shy you need to learn how to talk to people" and I don't think she understands that it's really hard to talk to people and be in big spaces. She just thinks I'm shy and I don't know what to do about it or what to tell her
I have general anxiety disorder, and I feel panic when in large crowds, and feel like I can't breathe. Going to comic con was a really bad decision. I waited in line 3 hours to get in, and then I was surrounded by 100,000 people in one building. It was one of the most awful experiences ever. Once I got in it took me hours to find the exit, and I ended up having a panic attack and sitting in the middle of the floor. It was embarrassing when the security people came over and talked to me, and escorted me out. But I'm glad I got that experience so now I know what kind of places to avoid. I think that your mom just doesn't understand it because it's not happening to her. In time you can make her understand, but just be patient and don't force it. If you tell her you want to get help and she doesn't take you seriously you can always talk to your school guidance counselor.
I can relate to this. I hate having to talk to people or strangers big crowds make me feel anxious sometimes. this is why where ever I go I have head phones on me to avoid talking to people.
I don't have diagnosed anxiety but my parents and closest friends think I have social anxiety and when jessii described an anxiety attack and how she felt in class, that is exactly how I feel a lot of the time
I have as well been diagnosed with anxiety and I know how it feels to have a panic attack. It's not fun. You feel like someone just sucked all the air out of you and your heart beats out of your chest. I end up sobbing whenever I get an anxiety attack.
I'm 9 and I still have anxiety and I get so anxious that I cry even after the stuff stopped and I also had a person to talk too and no one had it except my mums friends so they were who I talked to about my anxiety one of them got a spray called rescue remedy and it helps to release stress I have gotten way better because of some of the things I can relate too with you tubers and adults and I cannot thank you enough with the struggle that you helped me through Just Thank You!! 💕😭😩😇 You are an absolute angel Jessii you really are
That takes a lot of courage bravery Im. Glad you shared your story We can feel empathy We go through obstacles. You make us feel less alone appreciate that
I'm really proud of you for creating and continuing your channel because as an anxious person myself, Ik it must've taken a lot of courage! It's really inspiring to others with anxiety disorder like me because it's proof that anxiety doesn't have to control your life :)
I can relate to having anxiety. I have OCD and it definitely does have an affect on my life. But I have recently started finding little things that help a little bit. Though it is still pretty unpredictable how much anxiety I will have each day.
Thank you Jessii Vee. I have not been diagnosed with anxiety but I show many symptoms. Its been getting worse and I have started to feel alone and odd so thank you for sharing your story. We are appreciate it so much. God bless you!
This is so relatable to me, and knowing it does get better makes me feel...better about myself. But separation anxiety is definitely stronger for me than anything else, and it also sucks😫
I honestly started crying while watching this. This means so much to me because I've struggled with anxiety too for a while. It wasn't nearly as bad as yours but it was enough to influence stuff I did in my everyday life and it was still terrible. Honestly, it makes me so happy to know I'm not alone. Tbh I'm a little scared to even post this comment, but if you can make a whole video then I can comment this. I'm in the process of trying to heal from it, and seeing how far you've come with your anxiety gives me hope I'll be able to do the same, so thank you Jessii
I have anxiety too, and I find it really hard to talk about, because when I do people make fun of me and say that I'm weird, and that I'm a baby, and hurtful stuff like that.
I love this video, it's so similar to what I am going through right now. I'm going to be a senior in high school and anxiety is still bothering me. I still have no friends, hate social interaction and can't bring myself to start conversations. I am so boring and awkward in conversations with people, which is why I've lost many friends... I was bullied in elementary, middle and high school. I began to have really bad anxiety attacks in public and can't seem to make friends. I feel like everyone hates me and doesn't want to get to know me. They think I am cold, rude, and don't want friends because I don't have the courage to show my true emotions or even start a conversation with people. This has been going on my whole life and this video made me realize I'm not alone.. :) I want to start my own TH-cam channel but I feel as I don't have the courage to put my face on TH-cam because of the fear everyone hates me.
I have social axeinty and general axeinty disorder 😭. I'm getting help this summer and I'm going to go to a camp that will help me. I am so grateful for this. I have been struggling with school because of the asbugers I have. I am mostly getting help because of that. Thank you for showing me this video it helps me understand that there are other people that have the same problem. thank you so much Jessi vee! Your amazing love you! ❤❤❤
This video was super helpful in explaining to my 8 year old son, my own anxiety. He seems to understand so much more now. Thank you for posting this!!!
I can understand and relate to this very well. I suffered from the EXACT same anxiety as you, and I would have to leave the classroom in a rush. I spoke to someone similar to a guidance, and they said whenever I needed to leave, I just had to get up go to the door and the teachers would nod and I'd go. Anxiety to me felt like I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was about to faint and my heart would be really fast and I'd panic. I'm also dealing with it SO much better, but it still comes back sometimes, but no where near as bad. Love this Jessii, shedding some good information xx
+Catherine Milano My panic attacks feel like charging a battery with lightning. I have all this energy building up with nowhere to go and it rises so sharply--it's scary! And then it feels like all this energy starts ripping at my skin and my soul, struggling to get out and I just want to rip myself to pieces and scatter across the planet! My mind doesn't go blank, it simply races around so fast I can't catch it to put any useful thoughts in there and take out the ones that are terrifying me. And then I start feeling like I want to attack something or run away. Like there should be something to blame for all this and it'd go away if only I can attack it or escape it! And that's when the scream starts wanting to come out because I know attacking is not helpful and running away is usually going to create a bigger problem for me because it makes returning even more embarrassing. I ended up having to learn how to manage and reduce the panic before it became a full-blown attack, but I've got a really good system now. Don't even have to escape the situation anymore. I can just deal with it a lot of the time, and get it over with so I can stop worrying!
I don't have an anxiety disorder but if I go to a crowded, loud (and also sweaty) places mentally and sometimes physically (it's a bit hard to explain) unprepared it takes a toll on me a lot.
I have an anxiety disorder and ADHD! I can deffinently relate! For anyone out there like me just remember that You are so much more than your problems!
That was really cool. I have anxiety disorder and panic attacks as well. unfortunately none of my friends or family really have it so sometimes I have trouble finding someone to relate to on this issue and if someone doesn't have it, in my experience they don't realize how it can effect parts of your life and they just don't get it or even try to understand. Love your videos!
Hi Jessii!!! I am a fan and I have a story for you guys that will probably change a little bit of your depression and anxiety.. So, here I go. When I was 7 or 8 I was in first grade or kindergarten and my mom noticed that I had trouble leaving her.. I always felt like something was missing. I never knew it until now. So, when I got to first grade, everything went bad. I started to be really anxious to leave my mom and the nurse let me stay in her office to do my work that the teacher gave me. So, when second grade rolled around, things worse. I started to cry have anxiety attacks and that's when it got worse. June 11 2016, my uncle passes away at the hospital.. My dad moved to Las Vegas and that's when it got worse again! I didn't really go to school, I had problems and the kids didn't know that I had anxiety and depression and separation problems.. This was getting bad. My mom called NAFI or how ever you spell it and they came to help me with school.. It didn't really work out.. The peoples names were Sara I think Jamie, Mary.. They didn't really help, but they tried... I was struggling and my mom got fired at her job, TJ Maxx or Max it was because she had a lot of head aches and stuff... And it was near Christmas so... Anyways, I had a second grade teacher named Miss or Mrs Mitchel.. She was rude a little and she said I didn't make it to third grade.. When I heard about that, I felt like my heart broke. I think I cried because I was so mad at myself.. I was so hard on myself and my mom was like, don't be so hard on yourself!! And I didn't care about it. So, I was absent for 51 days. When I got my report card from 2017, I saw it and I'm like, WHAT!?!?!? I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. But I wasn't worried about it. So, in kindergarten a girl in my class I forget how to spell it but, when it was graduation, she had a Furby or how ever you spell it -_- So, she WOULDN'T LET ME PLAY WITh HER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A STUPID FURBY!!!!!! I felt mad and so hurt by it. But now, I don't really care. So, for second grade for now, I have a new teacher called Mrs.Beeley. She is so nice and pranks people and makes jokes and puns. She makes people laugh and it makes me smile. I had someone test me for 3 days and I did good. Her name was Miss Melinda and I can't spell her last name because it's too long and hard to spell. But anyways, it turned out good. I'm back in school and everyone loves that I am back. And the kids cheer for me when I come in the class. I am blessed that I am back in school, and I love it. I am now 9 years old, and now I know to never give up, and live life to the fullest. God bless you kids or teens or adults that struggle. I give you he best luck. Btw, my ended up moving back and my mom and dad broke up and now he has a gilfriend named Jasmin and she's nice, but I don't really trust her butI don't care anyways. God bless you, and have a wonderful day! Love, Amaya ~
Pretty sure I have anxiety too, it sometimes gets so out of control I have to leave if I am somewhere in public but people experience anxiety differently
i have really bad anxiety too. i'm pretty sure that my parents will never understand how bad my anxiety is. i'm always afraid of speaking up---only if other people are speaking up, then i'll speak up too. my anxiety hasn't gotten really bad until i turned 5. since then, i've been afraid of speaking up (as i mentioned before), saying the wrong answer, making a fool out of myself, big crowds, etc. and i feel like as i get older, my anxiety will get more worse than it already is. and that it won't go away for a long time. :c
I love this!!! I to suffer with anxiety disorder because I stutter and not like how everyone else stutters once and a while. I can do it randomly with out knowing or when I try to talk to someone (a speech disorder) . Which caused me to have a fear of talking in class or just to a random person so, I am always the quiet awkward kid. I have also gone through really traumatising times of my life which increased my anexity and anexity does run through my family too.
ahh i have it too.. i get nervous when people look at me in class and my legs start shaking and my eyes start watering. my hands start trembling pretty easily if a teacher asks me a question. going to other places gets worst. since i live in a country that i barely understand, i had a hard time. i would know if they start gossiping or laughing and so i never payed, which can be really ironic if i get older. my head starts throbbing and i'll always have this thing where my whole body feels numb, also my stomach starts doing uncomfortable flips. i hate being humiliated or mocked in front of everyone, even my family (except my parents). so that's that..
Don't worry. I have panic attacks all the time, they're horrible. It gets better though. Ive had anxiety my whole life, I thought my family hated me for a while but now I know they love me.
Today hasn't been the best anxiety wise and this video did help me. I don't know if I actually have an anxiety disorder but I do know that I get very anxious a lot of the time and this made me feel less alone, so thank you Jessie
everyone gets anxious sometimes and there is a difference between that and actually having an anxiety disorder. i appreciate you sharing this story! it's a perfect example of what having an anxiety disorder is like. i do have a question though, did your therapist prescribe you medicine? or did she just have exercises that helped you overcome the disorder?
I can relate. I never was diagnosed with anything besides OCD as a kid. I was super scared to be around in big crowds. Talking to people unless through text or messages/comments is the only way I won’t panic. I guess it’s the lack of facial reactions that helps. But ordering food, talking to strangers or so much as going places with crowds I’m super nervous.
I have an anxiety disorder. I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks, but the problem is, that even with a therapist, it is not going away. Do you guys have some tips to help me ... ? (Btw great video Jessii Vee. I loved it ! )
Even though I don't suffer from anxiety disorder but I have paranoia and it's really bad but your videos really help me and I just wanted to thank you!
This is amazing! Love this animation :) Good that your coming out and talking about this making people not feel alone! I don't have anxiety but I am really shy. I've been better recently because I've just decided "Ok I will just talk to people and come out of my comfort zone!" And it worked. Love you so much your literally my freaking life jessii
I saw this on Instagram and I was dying to watch this! Thanks for making this even tho I don't have anxiety disorder I know that it is a struggle and I'm grateful I don't and all the best to people with it
I can really so much relate to this. Thank you for making this video :). I'm still in a school and i have anxiety attacks and literally every week i lie that i'm sick so i could stay home for at least one day. I feel really bad about doing that, but I'm so afraid of going somewhere where is ton of people. And every time i have to go to school i get nausea. I can't talk to other people in my class, or anywhere. And teachers are really annoyed because i can't speak with them. And then I barrely sleep at night. and other fun things.
aaawww that was soo sad, i feel really sorry 4 u jessica:( i really hope the anxiety just leaves u alone and ull live happy with ur personal life:) ill pray 4 u and evry1 else plzplzplz :)) pray 4 jessii shes the best ever. PS ILYSM
I also struggle with anxiety.i have panic attack due to phobias and loud noices I've had anxiety for a long time includeding depression.I also got to therapy but it doesn't help as much so it's nice to see things like this
You helped me realize that I'm not alone, thank you so much for this! Although I don't have anxiety itself, I have a similar disorder of its type... Thanks again
I know completely how you feel. I had anxiety for almost a year. I let bullying affect my health, which led me to problems. For example, whenever I would eat I would have immense stomach pain. I lost a lot of weight due to long periods without eating (I didn't have anorexia by the way, I had a REAL medical condition). At one point, I gained 59 pounds. Now, I'm doing much better and I have gained my confidence again. I admire how you're open to share your experience. I love you so much Jessii!
my anxiety started about 1 or 2 years ago. I'm claustrophobic and I have a major fear of being left alone, and I can't let my mum or dad even step foot out the door without me or else I will feel queasy and have anxiety attacks. I don't go outside without an adult I know around me, and sometimes I worry that I won't experience the big things in life because of this issue. I often feel depressed for no reason, and whenever I go through anxiety attacks, I will have a lot of trouble breathing. My parents don't FULLY get how hard it is, therefore I don't take therapy (at least not yet.) I'm a really shy girl, and I always fear of getting lost or being kidnapped. I hope to get better soon, and I wish luck to everyone else with my issue. ❤❤ Ella
omg, it is so nice that i know im not alone, because I get really bad anxiety I cant present infront of school classes, I get scared to play games that involve other people, but I'm lucky I still have family and friends to help me out :)
I've been living with an anxiety disorder for 10 years now and i didn't get help until i was hospitalised when my daughter was 6 months old. I've been on medication for 2 and a half years now and it's made all the difference in the world to me. I feel like there's alot of shame surrounding having to take medication for anxiety and depression and there shouldn't be :) whatever helps you to live a happier life. Loved this video jessi :) thankyou xx
jessii vee, your not the only one here that has anxiety disorder I have anxiety disorder too it was really hard to live with it in my life thanks for my therapist for helping me out with hard struggle
You are so real and inspiring. This story really shows what it feels like to live with anxiety. We are so happy we got to be a part of sharing your story. Keep up the amazing work!
storybooth can you do a video about me called the quiet girl?
Madison Summers you need to do it by yourself on their page
I'm glad that you work with TH-camrs too
storybooth I love jessii's and your channel
If i would I could do a vid on there but my mom would never let me
I am 99% sure I have anxiety too. It has gotten a lot worse this past year and it's seriously a struggle. People honestly think I don't like anyone so they don't want to talk to me but I'm a very positive person so I know it will get better.
I'm so sorry
+Kiara Janecek oh no my parents know. :) they just won't do much bc they don't think they can help.
I just went to the hospital for anxiety and it's fucking awful. I had to be there for 7 hours fml. Going back tomorrow/trying to convince my parents to get me out of it
+bearisol I'm in the hospital right now because my orbital broke by a baseball to the face and a broken leg from a douchebag.
The Internet sucks ass here. But it's better than none!
I hope you guys enjoyed this video! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! P.s - my eyes are super red in this video because I didn't get any sleep last night lol #nightowlforlife
Why didn't you get any sleep P.S I love you so much
Hi Jessii!! I love you so much! Thank you for sharing your story!!
Jessii I love your videos I would really like to meet you but I live in the Netherlands so yeah and keep up the amazing work
i love this video and can really relate
lol I am like a night wolf
your enthusiasm is lovely
Katie Tracy omg I love you so much
Love your story, this is going to help so many kids and teens!
OMG CHLOE I LIVE YOUR VIDS SOOO MUCH😍😍
I think it will really help. We all get nervous at times, but most people, especially kids, don't talk about generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. I didn't even find out that's what I had till I was an adult and couldn't figure out why it was getting worse and why I would have an attack at random times. I wish they did more of these type of things when I was younger, but hopefully this will benefit a lot of people that may not even know that's what they have.
+Michelle Gilbert I didn't even realize I had an anxiety disorder until I started watching Jessii's vids! Not because I hadn't heard about it, but because I'd only had a few actual attacks in my life. I also have ASD (an autistic disorder) so I spent my life ignoring my feelings as much as possible. I definitely would've had a lot more panic attacks if I'd've been paying attention though.
Adults too
+Psychic Kitty It is sad to me that it is really not discussed, when I was younger I started seeing a therapist & doctors and none even brought it up, but when I figured it out I did get a med from a doctor (generic xanax) that he told me to take everyday when it's an as needed med! highly addictive. I'm still on it years later & a higher dose because your body gey used to the dose & stops working. one day not even that long into having the medicine I decided I don't want to take this, there's other solutions so I got rid of them. I felt like I was going to die within a day, called my doc (at that time) & that's when he said I could go into a seizure & die at any moment! it's been a huge struggle & now the meds give me more anxiety because I know what will happen if I run out. I was young & trusted my doctor. now I do my research on any med. the sad thing is that I hadn't heard of "zany bars" at the time & I know kids get them off the street & probably 98% don't know the consequences if they get addicted or take them too many days in a row. All it takes is a week to 2 weeks straight for the body to start to Need them & that scares me for other people & kids. it's best to stay busy & not think about it. I hope you're doing well! Feel free to talk to me anytime, you can private message me & I'll give you my number. I don't even have people to talk me down out of an attack because people that don't have it don't get it & it took us years, but we finally found 1 group that you can go to with other people with anxiety or panic or both. Even autism most don't understand, but they've heard of it. I used to work with people with all kinds of disorders ranging from minor to severe. And people don't even know that there's even different levels of autism. I think these videos are great. Let me know if you ever need something. it's nice to find people with similar issues all because of this video. Have a great rest of the week!
Whoa, this was awesome! I loved the message, as I've struggled with anxiety too. :) This is great and going to help so many people!
i love your videos Annie !
Honestly sounds like a really really bad asthma attacks I had for no reason. Turns out it was just all the *BODYSPRAY* my asthma attacks morphed into anxiety attacks a lot when younger.
+Mollie Harvey 💕 Wishing the best for you too ! I had depression however I overcame most of it
me to!
problems sucks I have nobody to tell who can help me or understands me and it got only worser I (think) have a depression and have very bad thoughts
+Philine Mans I'm here for you too ❤️
+Philine Mans yeah but if I told someone, my parents would be told. They don't believe in things like these. They said to me that when I got depression to 'fix it and stop asking for attention'. Life sucks but I hope things get better for you!
jessi, I have a secret to tell you that I never told anyone else, I am secretly a carrot
+Jimmy Prince LOL
I can see you're trying to get on Jessii's weird comments video. 😂
+Josie Lapointe I choked on my grape ;-; again

+Beach Peach lol when autocorrect fails you😂
Don't worry Jess. I have really bad anxiety too!! It may suck but we can make the past out of it
That was a great a story to share Jessii! Super inspiring :)
sometimes my anxiety gets really bad at school but I can never go to the girls bathroom or anything because there are still so many people there too
Maybe you should try waiting until class starts and then get a hall pass to go to the restroom. There's less people in there during class time.
Amazing profile pic >•
Wow, that's pretty hard. If you're okay with doing the work though, I just posted a vid on how to control and manage anxiety. The technique has made it possible for me to post videos in spite of having major anxiety issues. I get scared just trying to start a drawing! I'm just scared of EVERYTHING.
It's pretty bad, but I can live life in spite of it now!
Go outside
meme queen samewith me
I have anxiety but it's so bad I can't talk about it to my parents
me too 😭
tell them, if you dont your anxiety will become larger and larger, why not tell them ??
they are your parents and will accept you just like the way you are!! same as friends, they will stay and the only thing that will change is the anxiety.
do it. hope you get better :)
i feel you so much, they wont believe me! you're not alone
Yeah same its just to hard😔
Same
I have anxiety problems too but i really try to control them but sometimes can't succeed so this is very inspiring thanks jess
I have had OCD for over 5 years now, and the way she describes anxiety attacks is 👌🏻. Even though I’m 10 years old, when I need my mom I NEED MY MOM. Period. It’s because she suffers from OCD as well, and she knows how to calm me down. I could be at a friends house, happy as could be and out of a nowhere, panic washes over me and I start having an anxiety attack. If you have OCD im sure you could relate with me 😔
Such a cute video! I have anxiety too. Thank you for helping to make people more aware!
Anxiety sucks :( but stay strong girl
I feel like this portrays anxiety disorders and what we go through so well. There needs to be so much more awareness and people like you putting it out there really helps. It gives us that maybe don't have the confidence a voice and gives us a chance to be heard. Love you
I have a super anxiety disorder, in class I have to leave at some points, just like Jessii. My guidance councilor gave me 2 types of paper with 20 of each. They were pink and blue. Blue meant I'm having trouble with my disorder. The pink one is for if I felt one coming. It has helped me a little bit! Thanks for this amazing animation!
i was diagnosed with social anxiety last year and it's so nice to know im not alone, stay strong !!
I batell depression and trichophagia I tried for treatment but that didn't work and I've decoupled anxiety I rarely smile and have fun but then I found you Jessii soon after that I was smileing and watching more of your vids you've helped me do much Jessii thank you also sorry for my spelling am

Thank you for sharing this story! I'm glad you have been able to conquer your anxiety as much as you have; you are a great example for us all.
Story booth sounds cool. My stories are all pretty frightening and not appropriate for the young ones, but I might send in something.
THANK U THANK U THANK U! I have been struggling with OCD ever since I was 7 years old. It's so hard having to leave class every once in a while because you just can't handle it anymore. I'm so glad that I have someone like you who can relate to me. OCD is so much more than being a "neat freak", in fact, for me the worst part about it is the compulsive thoughts and anxiety attacks that just come out of no where. Anyone feel free to talk to me if you're struggling with anything similar.
yiur a survivor live strong my friend
I have severe OCD as well. And my teachers all told me to not cave into the urges. Yeah, because I can just do that. It's not like I have a DISORDER or anything. Facepalm.

+May Athena Ikr like it's really not as easy as "just ignore it"
Exactly.
May happiness, serenity, good fortune, good health & absolutely everything positive be with you always!"Everyday could be wonderful" 😊
This was so cute and definitely one of my favorites!!!
I have anxiety too. My anxiety is about me being sick. Like even though I'm going to be fine, I still get panic attacks. I can handle it much better now.
I have emetophobia too, but it covers basically every end of the spectrum; the word, the action in myself and others. I think the only problem is that it’s a childhood phobia and therapy can’t do anything about it but I’m glad you’ve found a way to handle things!
When I was little (preschool to1st grade) every time my mom would drop me off at school I would start crying. I did it every single day it got to a point where my mom had to stay with me for the first few minutes then sneak off when I wasn't looking. And when I noticed she wasn't there I started to cry again but I don't think I ever did because I didn't want to get caught crying and be made fun of, but a few tears would slip down my Cheek every once in a while. I always had a hard time making friends because I was so shy and awkward. And I never raised my hand in class because I didn't wanna get laughed at if I had a answer wrong or I pronounced something wrong. Anyway this video is kinda what happened to me when I was younger but I wouldn't say I had a anxiety disorder. I was just really really shy.
This was so touching jess. Too think that this amazing person had an anxiety disorder is just unbelievable. That therapist must of had a big impact on your life! I'm just so glad you got through it. We all love you too Jess. And remember, we're all here whenever you feel alone,scared or worried. We love you, and if you carry on doing what your doing, the anxiety will gradually get better and better until it's practically gone. I mean, if you didn't make this video I would never of known you had an anxiety disorder, and I'm sure many people will agree. I love you Jess,
Lucy xoxo
So I hate being in big crowds and talking to people and I avoid doing those things whenever possible. I think I experience anxiety attacks and I tell my mom that I can't talk to people and that I hate big crowds and can't be in them but she always says "Stop being so shy you need to learn how to talk to people" and I don't think she understands that it's really hard to talk to people and be in big spaces. She just thinks I'm shy and I don't know what to do about it or what to tell her
Oh my god, my mother says that to EVERY problem I tell her -bc they're mostly about anxiety-
whoops didn't mean to put the line there
I have general anxiety disorder, and I feel panic when in large crowds, and feel like I can't breathe. Going to comic con was a really bad decision. I waited in line 3 hours to get in, and then I was surrounded by 100,000 people in one building. It was one of the most awful experiences ever. Once I got in it took me hours to find the exit, and I ended up having a panic attack and sitting in the middle of the floor. It was embarrassing when the security people came over and talked to me, and escorted me out. But I'm glad I got that experience so now I know what kind of places to avoid. I think that your mom just doesn't understand it because it's not happening to her. In time you can make her understand, but just be patient and don't force it. If you tell her you want to get help and she doesn't take you seriously you can always talk to your school guidance counselor.
I can relate to this. I hate having to talk to people or strangers big crowds make me feel anxious sometimes. this is why where ever I go I have head phones on me to avoid talking to people.
i usually have anxiety in big crods or needing to do a presentation in front of people
I don't have diagnosed anxiety but my parents and closest friends think I have social anxiety and when jessii described an anxiety attack and how she felt in class, that is exactly how I feel a lot of the time
Were those ladys from the bathroom applying make-up for years????
I feels so good to know others understand what I'm going threw
Animated is not detamina backwards
yeah it is
It is
Ya it is😂😂😂😂😂
Ya it is😂😂😂😂😂
What is detamina?
I have as well been diagnosed with anxiety and I know how it feels to have a panic attack. It's not fun. You feel like someone just sucked all the air out of you and your heart beats out of your chest. I end up sobbing whenever I get an anxiety attack.
Me too. I have sleeping anxiety and I'm quite anti social. I nearly cried at this video. It was beautiful!
I'm 9 and I still have anxiety and I get so anxious that I cry even after the stuff stopped and I also had a person to talk too and no one had it except my mums friends so they were who I talked to about my anxiety one of them got a spray called rescue remedy and it helps to release stress I have gotten way better because of some of the things I can relate too with you tubers and adults and I cannot thank you enough with the struggle that you helped me through
Just Thank You!!
💕😭😩😇
You are an absolute angel Jessii you really are
You are a true inspiration Jessi! I loved this
That takes a lot of courage bravery Im. Glad you shared your story We can feel empathy We go through obstacles. You make us feel less alone appreciate that
I'm really proud of you for creating and continuing your channel because as an anxious person myself, Ik it must've taken a lot of courage! It's really inspiring to others with anxiety disorder like me because it's proof that anxiety doesn't have to control your life :)
I can relate to having anxiety. I have OCD and it definitely does have an affect on my life. But I have recently started finding little things that help a little bit. Though it is still pretty unpredictable how much anxiety I will have each day.
Thank you Jessii Vee. I have not been diagnosed with anxiety but I show many symptoms. Its been getting worse and I have started to feel alone and odd so thank you for sharing your story. We are appreciate it so much. God bless you!
This is so relatable to me, and knowing it does get better makes me feel...better about myself. But separation anxiety is definitely stronger for me than anything else, and it also sucks😫
I honestly started crying while watching this. This means so much to me because I've struggled with anxiety too for a while. It wasn't nearly as bad as yours but it was enough to influence stuff I did in my everyday life and it was still terrible. Honestly, it makes me so happy to know I'm not alone. Tbh I'm a little scared to even post this comment, but if you can make a whole video then I can comment this. I'm in the process of trying to heal from it, and seeing how far you've come with your anxiety gives me hope I'll be able to do the same, so thank you Jessii
I have anxiety too, and I find it really hard to talk about, because when I do people make fun of me and say that I'm weird, and that I'm a baby, and hurtful stuff like that.
I love this video, it's so similar to what I am going through right now. I'm going to be a senior in high school and anxiety is still bothering me. I still have no friends, hate social interaction and can't bring myself to start conversations. I am so boring and awkward in conversations with people, which is why I've lost many friends... I was bullied in elementary, middle and high school. I began to have really bad anxiety attacks in public and can't seem to make friends. I feel like everyone hates me and doesn't want to get to know me. They think I am cold, rude, and don't want friends because I don't have the courage to show my true emotions or even start a conversation with people. This has been going on my whole life and this video made me realize I'm not alone.. :) I want to start my own TH-cam channel but I feel as I don't have the courage to put my face on TH-cam because of the fear everyone hates me.
I have social axeinty and general axeinty disorder 😭. I'm getting help this summer and I'm going to go to a camp that will help me. I am so grateful for this. I have been struggling with school because of the asbugers I have. I am mostly getting help because of that. Thank you for showing me this video it helps me understand that there are other people that have the same problem. thank you so much Jessi vee! Your amazing love you! ❤❤❤
your video was brilliant! seeing you fighting the anxiety makes me feel more confident. thanks a lot!
This video was super helpful in explaining to my 8 year old son, my own anxiety. He seems to understand so much more now. Thank you for posting this!!!
I can understand and relate to this very well. I suffered from the EXACT same anxiety as you, and I would have to leave the classroom in a rush. I spoke to someone similar to a guidance, and they said whenever I needed to leave, I just had to get up go to the door and the teachers would nod and I'd go. Anxiety to me felt like I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was about to faint and my heart would be really fast and I'd panic. I'm also dealing with it SO much better, but it still comes back sometimes, but no where near as bad. Love this Jessii, shedding some good information xx
+Catherine Milano My panic attacks feel like charging a battery with lightning. I have all this energy building up with nowhere to go and it rises so sharply--it's scary! And then it feels like all this energy starts ripping at my skin and my soul, struggling to get out and I just want to rip myself to pieces and scatter across the planet! My mind doesn't go blank, it simply races around so fast I can't catch it to put any useful thoughts in there and take out the ones that are terrifying me. And then I start feeling like I want to attack something or run away. Like there should be something to blame for all this and it'd go away if only I can attack it or escape it! And that's when the scream starts wanting to come out because I know attacking is not helpful and running away is usually going to create a bigger problem for me because it makes returning even more embarrassing.
I ended up having to learn how to manage and reduce the panic before it became a full-blown attack, but I've got a really good system now. Don't even have to escape the situation anymore. I can just deal with it a lot of the time, and get it over with so I can stop worrying!
Jess, I almost cried cuz it was so sad. I'm glad u got help. ILYSM Jessii!!
Awe I'm so sorry you have to go through that :(
I don't have an anxiety disorder but if I go to a crowded, loud (and also sweaty) places mentally and sometimes physically (it's a bit hard to explain) unprepared it takes a toll on me a lot.
I have an anxiety disorder and ADHD! I can deffinently relate! For anyone out there like me just remember that You are so much more than your problems!
Your story made me tear up. I relate so well.
That was really cool. I have anxiety disorder and panic attacks as well. unfortunately none of my friends or family really have it so sometimes I have trouble finding someone to relate to on this issue and if someone doesn't have it, in my experience they don't realize how it can effect parts of your life and they just don't get it or even try to understand. Love your videos!
Hi Jessii!!! I am a fan and I have a story for you guys that will probably change a little bit of your depression and anxiety.. So, here I go. When I was 7 or 8 I was in first grade or kindergarten and my mom noticed that I had trouble leaving her.. I always felt like something was missing. I never knew it until now. So, when I got to first grade, everything went bad. I started to be really anxious to leave my mom and the nurse let me stay in her office to do my work that the teacher gave me. So, when second grade rolled around, things worse. I started to cry have anxiety attacks and that's when it got worse. June 11 2016, my uncle passes away at the hospital.. My dad moved to Las Vegas and that's when it got worse again! I didn't really go to school, I had problems and the kids didn't know that I had anxiety and depression and separation problems.. This was getting bad. My mom called NAFI or how ever you spell it and they came to help me with school.. It didn't really work out.. The peoples names were Sara I think Jamie, Mary.. They didn't really help, but they tried... I was struggling and my mom got fired at her job, TJ Maxx or Max it was because she had a lot of head aches and stuff... And it was near Christmas so... Anyways, I had a second grade teacher named Miss or Mrs Mitchel.. She was rude a little and she said I didn't make it to third grade.. When I heard about that, I felt like my heart broke. I think I cried because I was so mad at myself.. I was so hard on myself and my mom was like, don't be so hard on yourself!! And I didn't care about it. So, I was absent for 51 days. When I got my report card from 2017, I saw it and I'm like, WHAT!?!?!? I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. But I wasn't worried about it. So, in kindergarten a girl in my class I forget how to spell it but, when it was graduation, she had a Furby or how ever you spell it -_- So, she WOULDN'T LET ME PLAY WITh HER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A STUPID FURBY!!!!!! I felt mad and so hurt by it. But now, I don't really care. So, for second grade for now, I have a new teacher called Mrs.Beeley. She is so nice and pranks people and makes jokes and puns. She makes people laugh and it makes me smile. I had someone test me for 3 days and I did good. Her name was Miss Melinda and I can't spell her last name because it's too long and hard to spell. But anyways, it turned out good. I'm back in school and everyone loves that I am back. And the kids cheer for me when I come in the class. I am blessed that I am back in school, and I love it. I am now 9 years old, and now I know to never give up, and live life to the fullest. God bless you kids or teens or adults that struggle. I give you he best luck. Btw, my ended up moving back and my mom and dad broke up and now he has a gilfriend named Jasmin and she's nice, but I don't really trust her butI don't care anyways. God bless you, and have a wonderful day! Love, Amaya ~
Jessi I feel you because I have a really bad anxiety disorder that when I got stressed it got worse.
You're doing so good, jessi!! Hope you achieve your goals!! I'm so happy for you going this far. ilysm
Every single part of this video, i can seriously relate to. It is so crazy.
Pretty sure I have anxiety too, it sometimes gets so out of control I have to leave if I am somewhere in public but people experience anxiety differently
i have really bad anxiety too. i'm pretty sure that my parents will never understand how bad my anxiety is. i'm always afraid of speaking up---only if other people are speaking up, then i'll speak up too. my anxiety hasn't gotten really bad until i turned 5. since then, i've been afraid of speaking up (as i mentioned before), saying the wrong answer, making a fool out of myself, big crowds, etc. and i feel like as i get older, my anxiety will get more worse than it already is. and that it won't go away for a long time. :c
I love this!!! I to suffer with anxiety disorder because I stutter and not like how everyone else stutters once and a while. I can do it randomly with out knowing or when I try to talk to someone (a speech disorder) . Which caused me to have a fear of talking in class or just to a random person so, I am always the quiet awkward kid. I have also gone through really traumatising times of my life which increased my anexity and anexity does run through my family too.
u look like a person who would not have any anxiety ur always so happy and it makes me happy that ur happy
ahh i have it too.. i get nervous when people look at me in class and my legs start shaking and my eyes start watering. my hands start trembling pretty easily if a teacher asks me a question.
going to other places gets worst.
since i live in a country that i barely understand, i had a hard time. i would know if they start gossiping or laughing and so i never payed, which can be really ironic if i get older. my head starts throbbing and i'll always have this thing where my whole body feels numb, also my stomach starts doing uncomfortable flips. i hate being humiliated or mocked in front of everyone, even my family (except my parents).
so that's that..
Wow that animation is SO cool! I would LOVE to see more animated Vee Times!
Don't worry. I have panic attacks all the time, they're horrible. It gets better though. Ive had anxiety my whole life, I thought my family hated me for a while but now I know they love me.
Today hasn't been the best anxiety wise and this video did help me. I don't know if I actually have an anxiety disorder but I do know that I get very anxious a lot of the time and this made me feel less alone, so thank you Jessie
everyone gets anxious sometimes and there is a difference between that and actually having an anxiety disorder.
i appreciate you sharing this story! it's a perfect example of what having an anxiety disorder is like.
i do have a question though, did your therapist prescribe you medicine? or did she just have exercises that helped you overcome the disorder?
I can relate. I never was diagnosed with anything besides OCD as a kid. I was super scared to be around in big crowds.
Talking to people unless through text or messages/comments is the only way I won’t panic. I guess it’s the lack of facial reactions that helps. But ordering food, talking to strangers or so much as going places with crowds I’m super nervous.
storybooth is the reason I love Jessi's channel!
I have an anxiety disorder. I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks, but the problem is, that even with a therapist, it is not going away. Do you guys have some tips to help me ... ?
(Btw great video Jessii Vee. I loved it ! )
Jessie, could you PLEASE make a video of the steps on how you got past most of your anxiety??
This really helped ^^ I've struggled, and still am, wit talking in front of people and getting my words out. I hope this can help
Even though I don't suffer from anxiety disorder but I have paranoia and it's really bad but your videos really help me and I just wanted to thank you!
This helped :) Even though I don't have panic attacks a lot anymore, it made me feel happy that I'm not the only one that went through this. Thanks :D
This is amazing! Love this animation :) Good that your coming out and talking about this making people not feel alone! I don't have anxiety but I am really shy. I've been better recently because I've just decided "Ok I will just talk to people and come out of my comfort zone!" And it worked. Love you so much your literally my freaking life jessii
Heck when she explained what the feeling of the anxiety attack, I can relate. I do have anxiety too
I also have an anxiety disorder so I could relate. I LOVE YOU JESS!
I saw this on Instagram and I was dying to watch this! Thanks for making this even tho I don't have anxiety disorder I know that it is a struggle and I'm grateful I don't and all the best to people with it
OMG I just realized you did storybooth!! I love story booth and your channel! That’s the perfect combination
I can really so much relate to this. Thank you for making this video :). I'm still in a school and i have anxiety attacks and literally every week i lie that i'm sick so i could stay home for at least one day. I feel really bad about doing that, but I'm so afraid of going somewhere where is ton of people. And every time i have to go to school i get nausea. I can't talk to other people in my class, or anywhere. And teachers are really annoyed because i can't speak with them. And then I barrely sleep at night. and other fun things.
your story relates to my daughter so much
she never wants to go to school and has a guidance counselor to help her thanks jessi
Thank you it helps even more because I have depression and Anxiety so thank you
you should do more of these animated stories! I love them!
aaawww that was soo sad, i feel really sorry 4 u jessica:( i really hope the anxiety just leaves u alone and ull live happy with ur personal life:) ill pray 4 u and evry1 else plzplzplz :)) pray 4 jessii shes the best ever. PS ILYSM
Thank you, I have anxiety disorder too! I struggled so much. And I was bullied for years . Now I am in grade five and seeing this is helping me a lot
I also struggle with anxiety.i have panic attack due to phobias and loud noices I've had anxiety for a long time includeding depression.I also got to therapy but it doesn't help as much so it's nice to see things like this
Y need to make more of these Jess
You helped me realize that I'm not alone, thank you so much for this! Although I don't have anxiety itself, I have a similar disorder of its type... Thanks again
I'm sorry you have to experience that Jessii. I can also relate to everything you said.
I know completely how you feel. I had anxiety for almost a year. I let bullying affect my health, which led me to problems. For example, whenever I would eat I would have immense stomach pain. I lost a lot of weight due to long periods without eating (I didn't have anorexia by the way, I had a REAL medical condition). At one point, I gained 59 pounds. Now, I'm doing much better and I have gained my confidence again. I admire how you're open to share your experience. I love you so much Jessii!
my anxiety started about 1 or 2 years ago. I'm claustrophobic and I have a major fear of being left alone, and I can't let my mum or dad even step foot out the door without me or else I will feel queasy and have anxiety attacks. I don't go outside without an adult I know around me, and sometimes I worry that I won't experience the big things in life because of this issue. I often feel depressed for no reason, and whenever I go through anxiety attacks, I will have a lot of trouble breathing. My parents don't FULLY get how hard it is, therefore I don't take therapy (at least not yet.) I'm a really shy girl, and I always fear of getting lost or being kidnapped. I hope to get better soon, and I wish luck to everyone else with my issue. ❤❤ Ella
and when I mention the fear of being lost or kidnapped, I mean I REALLY freak out and ammmediatly need help....
The animation was soooo good, Jessii plz make more videos like this!
I know what it feels like! I have an anxiety disorder, along with ADHD and Depression!!
I can totally relate to this story. Thank you for sharing.
omg, it is so nice that i know im not alone, because I get really bad anxiety I cant present infront of school classes, I get scared to play games that involve other people, but I'm lucky I still have family and friends to help me out :)
I've been living with an anxiety disorder for 10 years now and i didn't get help until i was hospitalised when my daughter was 6 months old. I've been on medication for 2 and a half years now and it's made all the difference in the world to me. I feel like there's alot of shame surrounding having to take medication for anxiety and depression and there shouldn't be :) whatever helps you to live a happier life. Loved this video jessi :) thankyou xx
This really helped me I worry A LOT and in class I worry a lot two and around my friends and the teachers just make it worse
jessii vee, your not the only one here that has anxiety disorder I have anxiety disorder too it was really hard to live with it in my life thanks for my therapist for helping me out with hard struggle
Why did I tear up… probably because it's so relatable it's destroying my life
