    Anxiety is like a warning for something that didn't even happen.

      Gen Moi I’m late on this lol. That’s exactly what it feels like for me. I’ll start panicking over things that are months or even years away. No matter how much time I have to prepare myself for something, or how insignificant/significant the situation could be, my thoughts swarm in my head and I can’t control them. It’s like a sudden fear that grips at your whole body; your heart rate going so loud that you can’t hear over it. Your senses on alert. Numbness in certain parts of the body could happen; for me it being my tongue goes numb and dry. You feel like you’re almost choking when you speak so you end up stuttering like a madman. Your whole body just instantly tenses up to the point where it can be almost painful. Your hands and feet may start to tingle and sweat like hell. You feel like everyone in the room is focusing on you even when that’s not the case. Or like you’re doing something entirely wrong/ different than everyone else and being judged negatively for it, even when that’s also not the case. Unfortunately, this is something that can’t be controlled.

      Yes! I remember I had really bad anxiety before I was diagnosed, me and my family were in a dark alley way and I just thought that someone would drive by and shoot them. So many thoughts played in my head “what are you gonna do when they’re gone?” “Will you live with your aunt?” “How are you gonna protect yourself so that you dont get shot?” “You’re in a different part of the world, how will you communicate to the police?” To the point where I curled up on the bottom of the car to avoid getting hit by the bullet and started crying. It was so awful, and while my family members were just in the front seat, neither of them knew what happened to me that day.
      I think the worst part about it all is obviously that it never happened.

      @Clarissa im so sorry for the paim u r going through my love.
      So firstly, its okay not to be okay my love, we all are perfectly flawed humans that WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. So plsssssssss dont be tooooooo hard on urself.
      Why r u mad at urself? Is it, by any chance, ur mistake? My love its okay, u r not alone. We all are here for u, tho we cant feel the intensity of ur anxiety but we can try our best to help you.
      Ohhhh that hits hard... But u know what? Im crazy in that state and its okay. I scream, i dance and sing in the shower, i drink water, i talk to myself loudly and try to lecture myself to understand my feelings amd stop these feels, i play games and play music on speakers. Sometimes i even tackle it by just sitting and taking deep breathe and feeling my heart beating fast. I just get busy in something loud and something that makes me feel like i matter and that i exist im not dead or invisible that how it feels right? I go in front of birds and any living thing and when they see me and fly or something i try to make myself understand that, see u exist they can see u. U matter, u r important and that they can see u. I know its hard love. But only heroes like u can deal it and still be here till this day. Remember only the ones fighting get tired and not the ones who have already given up. Im proud of you hero!! Stay strong!! More power to you! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏💪👍🤗
      And yes my love, U DO NOT BURDEN ANYONE. Whoever talks to u about it is fated to meet u and its ur fate that is trying to help you. U r a human amd u need to vent ur emotions. Its just those toxic people who dont want to listen to anything. Trust me my luv, ive been talking to someone since a month already and i dont mind at all. Feel free to text me anytime you feel that way. Pls dont hesitate. Im not like school teachers. 😜

      What is this yeetery ? If you can HEAR Peoples thoughts of you. Can you literally HEAR their thoughts. Or are you guessing or thinking or perceiving what they might be thinking? If you can see a Psychiatrist this may help. Sometimes Schizophrenia can cause some people to HEAR Voices. It is a Chemical Imbalance in the Brain at times. Or maybe just Anxiety. Ask the Psychiatrist. They have Medication that can Stop this. Hope you feel better.

      That's the worst part for me, I'm my school the boys are really sexist and bully the girls. I hear them talk about a specific girl. think about what they say about me. I'm even sometimes afraid of these boys. We're too young.

      Onley me Here Sorry. Stay Away from the BAD Boys. Stick Close to any True Friend or Friend's. Leave School as soon as it is over so you can Avoid bumping into a Group of Bad People alone. Tell Your Parents about the Bullying. I was picked on and Bullied almost Daily from 6th to 8th Grade. I did have some Great True Friend's. And I had a Blast when I was Young hanging out with my Best Friend After School. I tried to Ignore the Bullying but it was Hard at times. Luckily I Graduated Grade School and had the Coolest Friend's in High School. Once I grew More Attractive looking with No More Braces then I got More Popular. It is Very SAD how People Judge Us from the way we look or the way that we Dress or who are Good Friend's sre. Make Gopd Friend's, the ones the Bullies pick on. If you get 10 Friend's or even 1 who goes through that you will Not feel So one. Try to be Happy with Yourself despite the Bullies. Be Nice to them even though their Not Nice..A few might get Nice. Sorry you go through that.

      Onley me Here Continued. I am an Adult Women. And I also HATE Sexist Comments. People are PIGS who are Sexists. That is one reason that I and others do NOY like President Trump! President Trump is the Biggest Sexist, Prejudice President EVER I saw in History! I do NOT know how the heck some Women even Vote for President Trump. And it REALLY Insults Me when some Repulicans call President Trump a " Christian"!! True Christians would NOT want to Deport Hard Working Mexican Immigrants who have lived here with their Families for Years!! I Never had such a Hard time with a President as I do President Trump. President Trump said He Could do a Crime in the middle of the Street and get awag with it. He feels Invincible. Stay the Sweet Strong Women that You are. Look at how God see's You. Not the way those Boys see you. Look how Jesus Christ see's you. You sounds Nice and Intellegent. I was like You at your age. You sound Nice. Stay Sweet!! Pick Good Friend's and leave the School Building with them. Always have your Ride Home Planned out ahead. Keep your Cell phone with You at All times and keep Your Cell phone charged. Stay sweet..Your Intellegent. I like your Views. You Respect Womem and your Cool. You remind Me of You when I was Your age. But you know some of my " BEST" Years in life were in Grade School..My Mom was Alive and she was So Sweet! My Grandma was Alive. My Best Friend invited Me over Alot. So find ANY Good. Take Care!!

      It's all about vitamin deficiency. Have any of you guys drank fresh orange juice everyday. Its an anti-depressant. Spiritual entities live in plants along with vitamins and minerals essential to the body. God gave them to you. If your free will doesn't take them , you're in trouble. Also honey, the mind doesn't know the difference between reality and imagination. Be Positive and DESTROY the negativity. Youre only in the state youre in cause youre already saying negative things about everything. Honestly did you even say one positive thing in this video. Thrash metal has also proven to destroy these negative thoughts. Also life has duality, stay balanced good and bad are the same thing , just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Get it you guys! Everything I have written so far is just positive thinking, have nothing to do with anxiety, You guys give us ANXIETY! What do you think about that! AHHHH I Feel better now. Brahmacharya - Conservation of Sexual energy also destroys negative thinking before it erupts into an anxiety type action.Fangster

Feels like I'm already dead, or on the verge of death, that it's already to late for me. Like I have fallen down a well and I know I'm not coming back out, just I haven't hit bottom yet.

      SOMYA SINGH it can get better with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. You learn coping tools to cut it off when it’s happening and to get over the episode a little quicker. My therapist actually talked me through one today. Instead of going through all the stages of it she helped me stop it 2 minutes in. My panic attacks usually last 10 minutes or more. I would suggest seeing a therapist. I didn’t when I was a teen and now I’m a semi functioning adult with terrible mental health. Getting better though!

Nobody could get me or my reactions to certain settings. I felt so out of place and lonely in my madness.

I think the best words to hear while in a panic/anxiety attack is "im with you. Im here to help you get through it.

I was feeling very anxious and depressed and ever since I put my faith and trust in God he has been healing me. I'm not joking. Praying to God can truly help. People seem to forget this but we are spiritual beings at the end of the day. When we are feeling negative things like anxiety, depression, insecurity, loneliness, etc. it is because our soul needs help and improvement and the only way to get that is to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you don't believe in God, just pray to God, he loves everyone he will show you signs that he is in fact real. You just have to put your trust in him and he can help you.

Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany.

The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

    -i always avoid eye contact
    -I can't say I have bad marks since everybody expects you to have a good one (cuz apparently all Asians are smart so they expect that from me too)
    - I can't even look normal walking down the hallway
    -my face suddenly just gets red and I start to sweat a lot

    I've experienced this so many times. When I first told my mother, she said, "Everyone your age is going through this, stop diagnosing yourself, you're just making it up to get attention." I was under the influence of these words for a while and convinced myself that it was nothing important. But it happened again, and it was the worst. I was exhibiting my own paintings at the art exhibition, and it was very crowded. Suddenly, my eyes began to fill with tears, my heart began to pound and my breathing began to accelerate. I didn't understand what was happening, as I wiped away my tears, new ones came in their place. Realizing this situation, my teacher took me outside to get some air and I started sobbing. I don't think I've ever cried this much in my life. At the end of the day, I didn't say anything to my family. Because they would make fun of each other again.
    Just, someone help me. My psychology is getting very bad and no one notices it...

    "Most of the time there is no problem, there is no life or death situation, there is no rhyme or reason, there is just feelings and I'm feeling them all at once." This describes me so much. Half the time when I'm having an anxiety attack, I KNOW that there's no reason for it but it's happening anyway. Particularly social anxiety. I'm not going to die while telling the person at the counter that I have a hair or dentist appointment but I will think about it for hours beforehand and it's terrifying for NO reason.

    - You’re scared to talk to people because they won’t understand or they’ll think you’re overreacting
    - You avoid eye contact
    - You go to “worst case scenario”
    Those are just a few.

      @I have to wait 90 days to change my name Yeah, some people do, but it doesn't mean everyone. Some people could have financial issues. Therapy where i live can cost up to $250 dollars per session. Plus, others may not be comfortable with the idea of a therapist. For myself, I had depression for a few years without seeing a therapist or a doctor. And i don't do it for show either. My parents are very religious and I know that if i ask to see a doctor or a therapist to confirm my depression, they will get very angry at me. Its wrong to diagnose yourself but sometimes you don't have the resources to confirm anxiety or depression. It doesn't mean people don't have it. But overall i do agree with you.

The things that go through my mind are not good. When I lay in bed at night I focus... too hard. That creak I heard downstairs is a thief and I'm now planning my next escape. There are so many ideas and thoughts and it all floods through me. The worst part is when people tell you to just calm down.

      Gab Riel I understand that this happens to help you. However, for me, this does not. I can't stop. In these times, I lose all control and I cannot grasp the concept of logic. I cannot bring myself to do this. I have many other things going on as well, and this may be a contributing factor, but i just want to point out that everyone has a different story and no matter how hard we try, I believe that it is naturally impossible to fully understand someone and sense what it is like to be them. Find a picture of an event. Say, 9/11. Look at the people. Try to tell what they are thinking. What they believe. Who they are. Friend? Foe? This will most likely stump you. We can never fully understand other people. The closest we can get to it, though, is going through something that they have gone through before. Especially relating to hardship. I hope this gives you a new outlook.

One girl at the back of my class is like “I CANT HEAR HER” And then I feel like crying and punching her but I have to keep going and when I’m finished presenting I walk back to my desk and lower my head and I have a big red face and everyone was like “look at Rachel! Her face has gone all red! Lol” snd they would all stare at me and I’d feel chocked up and want to cry but Im a Taurus and Tauruses hide their emotions (unless they’re around someone they trust) so I fake laughed along with them but I felt so embarrassed and wanted to melt into my chair and be gone forever

The medicine worked along with therapy sessions at school and out of school. I got better. Now I am 16 and only struggle with normal specific worry based anxiety. I am just sharing this because I want everyone who reads this to know, it gets better. Coping strategies work.

Some days no matter how hard I try I can’t get out of bed or stay awake for days and others I just wish my mind would stop. For even just a minute. To not have thoughts constantly going through my mind so fast when someone ask “what’s on your mind” I could actually answer? Because I have not been able to answer that for years. It’s like.... would you like to know the 6 conversations and scenes i was playing out in my mind that may or may not happen within the next few hours what I was thinking right before you asked me that when you looked at me because that’s when I started freaking out about what I did wrong or didn’t do.... so then ((* I start to turn red so much that I look like I just ran a marathon * my hands are sweaty my armpits begin to sweat which then is followed by the rest of my body then I am even more anxious that it’s noticeable I’m freaking out my heart starts racing my chest starts hurting it feels as if an elephant has sat on me and someone is sliding a large knife in my heart over and over again I start shaking I’m trying to breathe but it’s so hard and feels like I’m suffocating .... then I start to get dizzy and luckily this has happened so many times I know to find some type of balance so I don’t fall and hurt myself but sometimes I’m so lost that I’m frozen and I start to fade away from what’s in front of me it’s like my vision starts to blur and even though my body is there I am away from my body and it’s one of two ways it’s just a blurred picture of what’s happening but looking far away and it feels as though it’s happened before exactly like this like it was a dream or a vision like daja vu or sometimes as if I am looking at myself from a different point Of view or from a different persons eyes ))...and deep in my mind I can vaguely hear voices around me and when someone is asking are you okay hello and so on I want to answer back even just a no or yes or even a nod but it’s like I don’t have control over my own body .. then I’m hating myself for going on about the last 45 seconds of my thoughts to you because I felt like you were looking at me like I’m crazy which is what lead to me thinking the way I was and letting my thoughts control me and my anxiety take control of me to the point my anxiety was not just anxiety it lead into an anxiety attack and then a panic attack because after my anxious mind had enough fun with me panic set in and I started freaking out because in that moment I felt like I was going to die I seriously thought I was going to die.....truth is when you ask that question and I try to actually think about an answer for the first time once I control my breathing slightly my mind goes blank which is what Ive wanted for so long but now that it’s happened I don’t want it to happen because it’s not the right time I want to think right now I want to remember what I was thinking I want to be able to slow my thoughts just enough to say one simple thing that’s on my mind. And the scary thing is that’s the anxiety part. Depression is going on the complete opposite side you go from your mind being on overdrive of excessive worry and fear of what ifs to such darkness and emptiness. It’s constantly willing yourself to get up and do something... anything get up out of bed and do something in the day do better be better be and do something but not wanting to do anything at all except not exist. It’s wanting so much but wanting nothing at all at the same time. It’s wanting the ability to just disappear. I don’t want to die even though I’ve thought about it so many times you’d think I’d know how I would want to... like id have a plan ... but I don’t actually want to die... I just wish I didn’t exist I wish it was like a magic trick and I never was born. At least this is how I’ve been able to describe my depression and anxiety disorder at this moment because honestly I’ve never really been able to describe it when someone ask just like the simple question what’s on your mind and that right there is also why this won’t make sense to a lot of people because this is literally my thoughts in the moment and my memory of thoughts and emotions and actions of times that I had a panic or anxiety attack. And if you are able to read and follow this as it is written as if you were there re-enacting events yourself then you probably have had to deal with similar situations and just know that your not alone and it will be ok. Some people grow out of this or cope with it and it doesn’t happen again or if it does it may be rare...and others like myself learn day by day. Personally I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder starting around age 15 and I hid my thoughts and feelings from my parents and doctors and tbh I still do without realizing and I’m 24. I am just now getting help after years of denying anything and obsessing, worrying , fearing , what ifs. For a little over a year of trying to get help but not having the right resources to go to I have found a decent clinic that is showing progress towards a positive direction in therapy and medications and groups instead of just throwing a medicine cabinet at me along with a number of diagnoses that I previously had no knowledge of and saying that I’m on a list for therapy... so if you feel like you need help but are afraid just do some research and reach out.. the silence is your enemy. It will be extremely hard at first and it will take some time for the difficulty to ease as personally everyday for me has its challenges and everyday is a learning day for me but it does get better and easier with time. My first clinic was terror and I hated myself for reaching out because they honestly did not care or follow the guidelines and such that they say and show in the paperwork and pamphlets they hand out. I begged for help from them when I had agoraphobia and could not go outside the threshold of the front door let alone to my appointments. No one came to help. I found myself getting past all of that slowly on my own and once I realized that the toxic relationship I was in was truly that and I was not crazy like my abuser insisted and I had a window of opportunity that I had not had the whole year to run I did and my grandmother was there to support me. The clinic wanted me to go in for a six month revaluation to do the same check in and answer questions about my childhood and life and such like when I first originally went when they bring up stuff that personally my mind had blocked out then you see the doctor and they diagnose you and prescribe medications that may or may not work to be told that I’m on a list for therapy and such.... all before refilling the handful of medications they put me on all at one time. That was a major trigger for me and I had no filter or control of myself after that.. I went off on the person on the other side I had obtained my records and withdrew myself from there care as well as weaned myself off of the week and half of medications I still had. I found another clinic and deeply expressed my concerns and past experiences with mental health care. In the beginning I was assured that I had no need to worry about anything even close to similar happening with this clinic. I was trying to be optimistic and right after that the pandemic started the appointment that was supposed to be the new positive beginning was canceled and I started to panic and doubt that I was ever going to get better. It was difficult for a few months although I did overcome a lot of obstacles including telling someone with the clinic that I am done with getting my hopes up just to be let down in more ways than even anticipated that it was becoming just as the other clinic. After reminding myself that I need to have patience and give them a chance to figure things out and how to work with the pandemic. After a few months I had gained enough patience in myself to try to continue on with treatment. I called and with time and persistence was able to get back in and on schedule to see a doctor for medications and on a list for therapy which I am still hopeful for a month later. I have a non licensed therapist which has been through similar situations as myself and a case manager which is much more progress than ever before at the other clinic. Just be patient and kind to yourself as much as others and don’t loose hope in yourself. Be persistent and research for a place near you and with time you will find somewhere and someone who will help you. If you don’t help yourself than no one can help you. If you don’t help yourself as time passes things will get worse and so will you. Mental health is serious. I also deal with ptsd, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, and have bipolar traits and cognitive thinking. It took someone looking at me and calling me out on my bull when I said I was ok. I broke down in tears and explained everything going on in my life at the time. She told me that she to was trying to carry on with life like everything was fine when in fact the opposite was happening she was truly falling apart inside. That was 14 years ago. And she now was in her 40s with a career and family. I pondered what she said and reached out at the first clinic weeks afterwards. Here I am a year and half later just beginning treatment and moving forward in more positive ways than I ever even imagined everyday is still a challenge and I have to constantly remind myself that I am better than I was yesterday. Everyday is a learning day. I learn something new or different way to do something that makes a positive change in some way in my day every day.

    I have anxiety and social anxiety. This is EXACTLY how it feels to have both. If only people knew. If only people knew that even though I may LOOK calm, inside me, I am breaking down. I want to run out of the classroom and run out of the school and just run. Run as far from this place as I can get. Running away from my demons even knowing the fact that they are faster than me. Faster than the speed of sound. Most of the time, everyone sees either happiness or neutral moods but, they don't see the inside. Because on the inside, I am looking for a way out (mentally and emotionally). My small movements (cracking knuckles, etc.) represent the big movements I want to take. The other students don't realise that it takes EVERY FREAKING OUNCE OF MY TEENY TINY AMOUNT of courage to get up in front of the whole classroom to do a short presentation. And while doing that, I am worrying. I am worrying about what others are thinking of me as I talk. They also don't realise that it KILLS me to say, "Here." when the teacher calls role. They don't realise that it makes me so nervous to walk into class late and wish that they would not stare at me as if I had just murdered someone. I am an antisocial introvert with anxiety and social anxiety and possibly depression. Everyday is a challenge. I wish people (including "family") knew that I DO NOT WANT A SINGLE SOUL talking to me unless they are a friend. Because I am afraid that if I talk to anyone other than a friend, they will say the wrong thing and I will lash. My anxiety is like chains. They hold me underwater. Everytime I try to go to the surface, the chains grow STRONGER. Every time I try to get up, the chains PULL ME to the ground. Anxiety sucks. The only ways I am able to cope with it is by looking at my idol (Jacob Sartorius), writing, reading, drawing and listening to music.

I get anxiety attacks a lot, sometimes it gets so bad that I feel like I can’t breathe and it hurts and the only way to relieve the tightness in my chest is to just start uncontrollably crying. I’m also very paranoid about the littlest things and I subconsciously bite my lips and cheeks until sores develop, pick my fingers and lips until they bleed

      Ligma Balls: At the back of my mind, sure, I think to myself that some people haven't experienced anxiety like I have (which has led to me being hospitalized due to not sleeping for 5 straight days and being near 24/7 bedridden and afraid to leave the apartment for almost a full calendar year), but IMO, determining what percentage of us claim to have a mental illness due to "trend" is pretty impossible when you consider the individualized nature of mental illness, and people's subjective self esteems, feelings, etc. It's probably safer just to listen and support if someone claims to have a mental illness, rather than pass judgement on the person.
      LapisAnimates: People who publicize it might be on a different level of recovery than others. Or, they might just be naturally more inclined to talk about these things openly. I know that I'm at a stage now where I'm comfortable talking publicly about my issues, but it doesn't invalidate the panic attacks I still have, or how the illness has truly disrupted my life. We all deal with these things differently and I think that some choose to go public as a type of self-help / helping others, and others choose to keep it to themselves. Either way works as long as the person's continually growing and benefiting from whatever coping strategies they do. I think it's beneficial that we all stick together rather than measure each other's suffering against each other.
