The high-pitched ringing in the ears, the constant awareness of your own heartbeat, the flood of adrenaline to your extremities.... This was pretty spot on.
A.J. yea, in fact so spot on it started to trigger my anxiety And some other peoples anxiety I've seen in the comments as well They should've put a warning
My aunt was telling me that and when I started to describe the physical symptoms, she got a little quiet and proceeded to tell me I just "had to be stronger than it." Like yes, that's what I'm trying to do, but you just saying that isn't particularly helpful.
when you wake up and you Know something bad is going to happen that day and all you worry about is messing up or getting embarrassed yelled at and more fear of failing in school
@@7TwistedAshes if the only part of school anxiety you can focus on is pe then what I think he was saying is you “don’t know ‘real’ anxiety” because for people who suffer from it there are definitely worse aspects when it comes to school
With my Anxiety I can hear my heart beating throughout my whole body, I play with my hands and I shake super bad, I feel agitated like someone is watching me around every corner I turn. it's awful
Literally same. Especially the thing with the feeling that someone is always watching you. I feel like everyone is judging me and giving me dirty looks and I’m just scared of doing anything really.
Skylar Wallace yeah. Also, at the beginning when the person woke up and the typical “panic noises” started and the vision started wavering I was just like “NOPE. not taking any chances here!”
Anxiety is very exhausting always wondering what peoples every move is and feeling like people are staring you hard. And having to look down when you walk past someone and not getting your voice hard feeling invisible :(
Jimin's long lost jam I hate it when people say shit like this. Do you really think we want to feel like this? Do you think we like feeling as if our every move is being monitored? It sucks, and people like this have no idea what it feels like to have anxiety and should be grateful that they never have to experience it.
My anxiety does: Makes me breathe hard Makes me feel like throwing up a lot Makes me shake Makes me cry I feel trapped Who else feel rlly nauseous while anxiety kicks in? Remember “just breath and you’ll be fine in 5 mins”
Lone Wolf Yeah sometimes for me it happens when I’m completely convinced that a demon or dark entity is watching me. I sweat, I breathe heavy, I try to tell myself that no one is there but I just can’t convince myself. Sometimes I wake with a start after having a dream about emergency alerts on TV or even PSAs because they scare me. The loud noises and people dying or getting hurt terrifies me to the point where I get attacks just thinking about them before bed. Sorry for the long reply omg I probably sound like a wuss but it’s all true.
Lone Wolf I used to have them every night before going to bed because it was so quiet and I felt like nobody could help me if something would've happened to me because it's at night lol
Mine is kind of different. I don't hear silence all the time. I mostly hear myself telling me that I'm basically worthless and then other people voices say it as well (close people) and I can always feel people watching me, even if I'm completely alone I still feel someone watching me. I also start shaking every now and then and I've also got a small skin condition that makes my skin kinda look like scales so I almost always have like a hoodie to cover my arms and hands. Every time I walk into a room I look for exits just in case. And whatever I'm wearing, I can always feel someone judging me for what I'm wearing. I always think my music is too loud in my headphones so I turn it down to where I can almost not hear it. When I'm nervous/anxious I usually mess with the sleeve of my hoodie, my jeans, or my shorts. And I also spin like a pencil or pen if I've got one. I'll never be the first one to open food if it's in a package and I'll never be the last to finish it(still don't know why). I'm always observing everything, anything anybody does I will see what they're doing. Even if it's just small stuff but for some reason I just need to know what people are doing around me. I always try to opt out of doing anything in front of a crowd, large or small. But basically the breathing and heartbeat and constantly looking around was the only thing similar to mine.
I know what your talking about. The thing is maybe eczema i havr it severly and i still get bullied about it. But i had this dream where i broke out of it .in reality plus i can sing dance etc. Though, it still doesnt takemy mind off of suicide its just something that may be special and i dont notice it as my mom says.
I️ had a panic attack while watching this. I thought I️ could watch it since normally things don’t really bother me, but I got chills and tears and I felt super uncomfortable. it just made me sit there feeling trapped and not being able to do anything. Mostly because I️ have a lot of anxiety when I’m out and about in the public and at home.
autumn marie im the same way, just a grocery store trip, Headphones and music helps while i shop, people see the headphones & leave me alone. Or when it comes to driving I have to pull over at a gas station now and then to calm down or even cry.
i’m not entirely sure how this didn’t trigger an anxiety attack to me.. however i think you did an impeccable job embodying the reality that is anxiety. every second is constant worry and doubt.. truly, a really great job.
Take it from someone with actual anxiety disorder. This is pretty accurate. It’s that constant feeling of having an elephant sitting on your chest. And your senses become so overactive and sensitive that it makes your brain rattle. And you worry about every little thing. Like if someone you care about was to leave your house or their house you worry that they will get hit by a car or murdered in some way. And then you hate yourself for being so worried about them. Anxiety is very hard to live with. But not impossible
Tyler Blair When every one of your friends get tired of it it gets a lot worse and when it causes relationship problems that usually leads to depression and trying to make it stop
So true, when my friend was coming home from France, she was meant to text me when she got back so I'd know she was safe but she forgot, so I stayed up all night panicking and searching for news articles on any boat crashes because my brain convinced me that her ferry had sunk. I could barely breathe until she finally texted me in the morning lmao
I found a quote the other day about what anxiety feels like and I’ve never heard something so accurate - the feeling of anxiety is like that 0.1 second of feelings you have when you miss a step down the stairs , but pretty much constant 🙃
Whenever I leave my house I feel as if someone is watching me. It gets worse if I’m left alone, even if I’m in my own house. If I don’t have someone with me I start getting paranoid and look around every 10 seconds. If I’m in my room I always feel like someone is in my closet waiting to murder me. Different places make me feel different but there is always someone trying to kill me or just watching me. I don’t know it’s of anxiety or what but I know i shouldn’t feel that way when it’s over
I literally do that but then if there is someone around I don’t want to catch their eye so it’s like a constant battle in my mind. I hate being alone but I get overwhelmed with too many people. It’s sucks
i get the opposite way round, when im out or there are people around I get twitchy and I can't control my breathing and i feel like people notice and that makes me worry more, I feel so watched and seen as a wierdo
I know that feeling but I already have it since I’m a kid so it doesn’t trigger me THAT much anymore. I also don’t always feel like someone is about to murder me, but I think someone is watching. When I’m at home in for example the bathroom, I always think there is someone “in“ the wall, which makes obviously no sense but it’s always the same place and in the bathroom im also watched by someone for a different reason, as if I am in my room or any other place. So everywhere a different reason and stuff u know. Sorry for explaining it’s so weird, I hope u know what I mean🙊
My experience with anxiety Sickness Feeling wrong Feeling weird Dizziness Confusion Nervousness Worrying Sweating Thirst The need to escape an unbreakable box Heart beat pounding Panicking Fear Blurred vision Ears ringing
Whenever I have an anxiety attack, I just hear my own voice telling me bad things, like "I'm(you're) ussless, fat worthless, ugly, a burden, etc." Its kinda my voice, but it's like I'm having a conversation with myself. It also gets hard to breath and I get Shakey. I also get even quieter than usually.
As someone who has been diagnosed with severe anxiety it’s so awful sometimes, I hear one noise at night and can’t move for hours, I feel everyone is out to get me and constantly get feelings of dread just from everyday tasks, I analyze every single detail of everything, my mind is constantly whirring. I hyper focus on things and it feels like I see and hear everything that’s going on around me like an overload of panic based on things that COULD go wrong. Sometimes I find myself planning every possible solution to any situation that could happen to me. It’s exhausting and it’s so normalized and played down in society
SG, Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
Happens to me when I am stressed out, nervous or in a situation that I have no control of. My heart beats very fast, I get negative thoughts, choked up, tense headache 😣 and tears run down my hot face.. I tend to breath slower and talk to myself to calm down.
I mostly have really bad social anxiety so when I see people I start freaking out like A LOT even if its just one person. Most of the time I just want to sit by myself in a dark corner....which I do actually when I get home.....might sound creepy but its relaxing to me. Most people are scared of the dark so why would they sit in it. It's like my little protective bubble.
yes . this is true , me too i feel soo much better when noone is staring or paying any attention to me . i used to love attention so much .. Now im 13 and i care what everyone thinks.
I have anxiety really bad but I don't experience it this way. Maybe I have a different kind of anxiety or have to a different degree or have different symptoms.
Read More: Wow, that was a bit of an asshole thing to say. Just because someone isn't clinically diagnosed with something doesn't mean they don't suffer from difficult or debilitating symptoms. Just like depression, anxiety is experienced differently from one person to the next.
Not everyone's symptoms are the same for any mental disorder. With that mindset, that's ignorant. Mine are more brought on my worry. Dealing with emotional, physical abuse from everyone all my life, I'm always on edge and on the lookout for people trying to bully me or if I fail at something, it's a tragic thing because failing or messing up in any way wasn't an option growing up. Because it meant beatings, mean things said to me, and bullying.
This is a good representation of panic disorder but the only part its missing in my opinion is the internal monologue, constantly and ruthlessly tearing everything you do apart even if nothings wrong
I don't have anxiety but watched out of curiosity. This video really helped me understand what this might feel like more than just reading about the symptoms would. Sorry for anyone who has to deal with this, it seems like it's pretty scary. Sending love ❤️
Shaking is what bothers me the most because that's what people can see, my hands shake like crazy and I can't control it no matter how hard I try, nervous smiles too because I try to hide that I'm anxious and show that I'm okay I smile and laugh at anything but deep inside I know that I'm about to break..
I guess I can say I'm a calm person, I've never felt this kind of anxiety in my life. I've never had panic attacks, not even while watching this video. I have been really scared on extreme situations but out of those, nothing has happened to me. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to feel this everyday, that is why I hate those "funny" images about depression and anxiety, I don't consider this funny.
It’s sooo hard to deal with everyday because u wake up and think about what bad could happen and then u can’t stop thinking about the possibilities and u just end up going insane and crying
I have an anxiety disorder and I'm borderline, sometimes you just need to laugh it off. Everything can be funny. Making depression jokes or dark humor about anxiety can be a good way to acknowledge and accept your illness, so you don't get overwhelmed.
I just started watching the video and his heartbeat and the breath made me stop breathin for a while. If my cat wasn't here to help me, I couldn't watch it till the end, she makes me relax, then I don't have to take so much pills 💜 this simulation is extraordinary
i hate when i get them in class cause all i can do is fidget and barley breathe and panic...btw you should probs give a trigger warning cause it triggered my anxiety really bad and i ended up having a really bad attack during this
I felt like the person in the POV was constantly staring at corners and "closed" spots which make you feel like your sight is restrained (you can't see any wider than a spot), and this caused a sensation that anything could be around you and something was going to happen. Is that what it was supposed to convey?
Gihad Soares For me,it makes my chest tighten up,like something is pushing it in. My stomach knots up,and I can't eat. I think people are out to get me when in out walking around,and I look around every corner and street as I walk. I get shaky,sometimes to the point where I can't even take a sip of water without making a mess. I get berry irritable,and it makes my deppresion worse. Anxiety is constant fear for your life,everyone experiences it differently. You will even question your own loved ones,even someone you've been with for years. Mix on some ptsd, tourettes,adhd,and depression,and you have a cocktail of a whole different world. It's berry difficult,especially when your expected to work under these conditions,and be with the norm of aociety,and wondering why everyone is judging you,even though no one really is. It's a ball of crazy that I would never wish on my worst enemy. I hope this answered your qeustion?
Gihad Soares sometimes that’s how I feel. Like wherever I’m not looking something is going to sneak up there. It sounds ridiculous but it happens and idk why it’s like our survival instincts are in overdrive. Maybe the creator will reply and answer your question.
anybody else start madly tapping their fingers and breathing smaller breaths while watching this? this video is very accurate, in my opinion, and is causing me anxiety, so idk why I keep watching these.
It gets worse when I had to move back to my parent's place. Being strictly religious they are, I have to do all of the religious obligations no matter how bad I feel with my body. So for example, every morning around 6am I had to wake up to pray. Around that time my body would feel off and my brain just be foggy. It doesn't matter to me parents. Pray is pray. How ironic that I pray for this to go away but it's prayer times that makes my anxiety to shoot up.
I rly think u did an amazing job capturing what living with anxiety is like. I had such bad anxiety in the early stages of high school, and so little people understood which makes it nearly impossible to go to school and create a life. In ur video u captured the jarring/ disjointed feeling that comes along w anxiety and which creates so much panic for ppl. I think this video should b used in lessons about mental health
Honestly I was expecting this to be shit, but it's the most accurate representation of Anxiety I've seen so far. The ragged breathing when she was walking down the street at the start, the constant heartbeat you can hear in your ears, the fidgeting in class, tapping the pen, swaying when walking, all of is so familiar, because I experience it all the time. Good job

this is a very accurate description of how anxiety feels like, i had a lot of it. it always feels like time was short, it felt like i was in this void and i could actually hear my heart beat a lot. at times my heart beat felt really deep. sound intensified. i watched this video because i felt like looking back at my hardships and my suffering, i realized that my anxiety was an initiation to life. once i got rid of it i was free, i felt like i can do anything. to those who suffer from this all i can say is fight. it dont matter if you lose an arm or a leg, you go back the trunk and you put on a new one.
I have never been diagnosed with anxiety or panic disorder. But hearing his heart race almost all day had me slow my breathing and do breathing exercises as of I was trying to slow my heart rate. Didn't feel the room close in on me, but I felt myself emotionally dissociating.
Okay ,but why is this true? I thought it would be those videos who use stereotypes like “anxiety is just feeling scared”, I appreciate this video bless your soul😤💖.
I don’t know if I have anxiety but some days, usually on the bus on my way to school, I’ll get so nervous that I get really bad cramps in my stomach and I can barely breathe, and I can feel my heart pounding and hear it through my ears. I also play with my hands, I’m shakey, and I avoid talking to anyone or making eye contact with anyone unless I’m friends with them or I know them really well. Is that anxiety, or is it different for everyone??
One time I was having a anxiety attack while sleeping, it was like I was awake..but not? Idk, but my mom recorded It for my doctor to see if it’s normal. It is, but it looks like I am having a horrible nightmare, and I’m trying to wake up but I can’t. I have this often, it sucks. You did a really good job with demonstrating anxiety!!
I don’t have anxiety but I do have someone that I really care about that experiences anxiety and I’m trying to understand better. Do you know why talking on the phone triggers them?
@@ADaywith8K like the uncertainty of what they’re going to say back, i’m not really sure. this doesn’t freak me out nearly as much as it did back when i originally wrote this, but i feel like it was just a fear of not knowing what to say or saying the wrong thing.
For me. Anxiety is like... a gate. no a wall. A wall that has gold and money and love on the other side. But I’m afraid to get it because I care what people think.. I fear what people say about me. I feel unworthy. It’s like. Chains are gripping me to the floor and I could easily get out of them but I choose not to
This induced anxiety for me. Lately I have been going to the gym daily. Quit drinking daily... This video though.. Made me scared and I wanna cry now. I think it's the being back in that depressing room or the high pitched ringing.
got to the school one and exited off staring into space and vision was blurry at points making my hands into fists. i was aware of the attack and tears were in my eyes but i held them back. i have symptoms of social anxiety and i’m scared to go to a doctor to get the diagnosis
Yeah, it feels like something is counting down. And it feels like everything you do is wrong or your a freak. Just writing this comment I used grammerly to check this 😓
@@Melissa-sf6fb yeah your right, and also cuz i suffer from schizophrenia disorder, so i have to take pills and descripted medication, so yeah thats no fun😐
I find this to be more of a simulation of a panic attack then my anxiety itself. The heightened awareness of senses, hearing, hearing your heart beat, restless habits and inability to concentrate, particularity in dangerous situations is pretty accurate though.
Honestly this is so accurate, what is the real problem for me is the panic attacks and sense of drowning nearly every day and the feeling that people are staring at me in disgust. But what really hurts is when people tell me that I will get over it, that I will overcome it.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
When i have anxiety attacks, My heart beats rapidly I breath heavily till my chest hurts, when i take the deepest breaths it still feels like i cant breath The world around me becomes blurry and I lose my thoughts by the second.
i have overcame anxiety & depression 4 years ago. however, the other night, i was home alone and had a great day (i went out with my friend and saw a movie, went to a cute cafe). i was extremely tired since i woke up pretty early but it was around 9pm and i was already very sleepy. so i wanted to sleep, i closed my eyes then i suddenly felt a presence. as if somebody was staring at me or coming to me. the thing is ive always been home alone multiple of times and ive never been scared, not even once, but that time it was different. it happened 3 times straight every time i tried to close my eyes. i became terrified, but i finally fell asleep, for only ONE minute into deep sleep when suddenly my eyes were lit up again out of a sudden as if someone just woke me up. i hugged myself and could feel the sudden headache, chest pain, heavy breathing, terrified, unsecured & insecure. from there i know anxiety was attacking me after 4 years, it was the worst feeling ever i didnt know what to do so i suddenly cried and told my friends about it. i wanted to call one of my friends to call me to be with me, but even that made me think thousands of times and i had so many doubts & what ifs. i was alone with my own thoughths and anxiety for 4 hours straight. i wanted to study since my exam was coming up but nothing worked out. it fucking sucks i hate it SO much.
This video is pretty cool. I also have bad anxiety and this was the most realistic simulation so far. :) thanks for spreading awareness of what it really is.
This was very accurate, oh my goodness. The ringing in my ears. The restlessness. Feeling like I can't breathe. Feeling like I'm having a heart attack. Crying uncontrollably, but trying to hold back the tears so no one sees. Sometimes, I try to grab onto the walls or tables to prevent myself from falling over. At my absolute worse, I see things in my peripheral vision that aren't there, and I have to wait for the attack to be over before they go away.
This video is spot on, I also get “noise” induced anxiety. So sounds like Emergency Alerts, babies crying, yelling, loud car engines , motorcycles, “raising noises” such as airplane engines or sounds effects in dub step and electronic music all give me panic attacks. The first thing I want to do when I hear the sounds are run away as fast as I can lol. It’s hard to deal with especially when your friends and family don’t understand it or think you are over reacting.
Even when I don't have an attack I'm always aware of my heartbeat, and the fuzzy vision is so accurate. Anxiety sucks, and some people are just like "oh, get over it" or "we all feel anxious sometimes" and I hate that so much, because it's not just feeling anxious, it's feeling like everything around you and every situation puts your life at risk and you don't know what the hell to do

I skipped so much because I could, like... feel it trying to trigger one. if you understand that at all.
rose winter yeah i️ skipped some too, i️ didn’t think it would do anything to me haha but i️ thought wrong
autumn marie im the same way, just a grocery store trip, Headphones and music helps while i shop, people see the headphones & leave me alone.
Or when it comes to driving
I have to pull over at a gas station now and then to calm down or even cry.
The sound of the heartbeat triggered,i have a headache now and iam breathing so very badly.
Same
i’m not entirely sure how this didn’t trigger an anxiety attack to me.. however i think you did an impeccable job embodying the reality that is anxiety. every second is constant worry and doubt.. truly, a really great job.
Take it from someone with actual anxiety disorder. This is pretty accurate. It’s that constant feeling of having an elephant sitting on your chest. And your senses become so overactive and sensitive that it makes your brain rattle. And you worry about every little thing. Like if someone you care about was to leave your house or their house you worry that they will get hit by a car or murdered in some way. And then you hate yourself for being so worried about them. Anxiety is very hard to live with. But not impossible
Tyler Blair that is exactly how I am.
):
I feel you
Tyler Blair When every one of your friends get tired of it it gets a lot worse and when it causes relationship problems that usually leads to depression and trying to make it stop
So true, when my friend was coming home from France, she was meant to text me when she got back so I'd know she was safe but she forgot, so I stayed up all night panicking and searching for news articles on any boat crashes because my brain convinced me that her ferry had sunk. I could barely breathe until she finally texted me in the morning lmao
I found a quote the other day about what anxiety feels like and I’ve never heard something so accurate - the feeling of anxiety is like that 0.1 second of feelings you have when you miss a step down the stairs , but pretty much constant 🙃
Damn 🔥
Whenever I leave my house I feel as if someone is watching me. It gets worse if I’m left alone, even if I’m in my own house. If I don’t have someone with me I start getting paranoid and look around every 10 seconds. If I’m in my room I always feel like someone is in my closet waiting to murder me. Different places make me feel different but there is always someone trying to kill me or just watching me. I don’t know it’s of anxiety or what but I know i shouldn’t feel that way when it’s over
Same
Look into separation anxiety
I literally do that but then if there is someone around I don’t want to catch their eye so it’s like a constant battle in my mind. I hate being alone but I get overwhelmed with too many people. It’s sucks
i get the opposite way round, when im out or there are people around I get twitchy and I can't control my breathing and i feel like people notice and that makes me worry more, I feel so watched and seen as a wierdo
I know that feeling but I already have it since I’m a kid so it doesn’t trigger me THAT much anymore. I also don’t always feel like someone is about to murder me, but I think someone is watching. When I’m at home in for example the bathroom, I always think there is someone “in“ the wall, which makes obviously no sense but it’s always the same place and in the bathroom im also watched by someone for a different reason, as if I am in my room or any other place. So everywhere a different reason and stuff u know.
Sorry for explaining it’s so weird, I hope u know what I mean🙊
My experience with anxiety
Sickness
Feeling wrong
Feeling weird
Dizziness
Confusion
Nervousness
Worrying
Sweating
Thirst
The need to escape an unbreakable box
Heart beat pounding
Panicking
Fear
Blurred vision
Ears ringing
Same for me... Its terrible
same brotha
Whenever I have an anxiety attack, I just hear my own voice telling me bad things, like "I'm(you're) ussless, fat worthless, ugly, a burden, etc." Its kinda my voice, but it's like I'm having a conversation with myself. It also gets hard to breath and I get Shakey. I also get even quieter than usually.
Me: * has a nice day *
Anxiety: i guess you wonder where i've been
Relatable doe😂
I searched to find a fear within
As someone who has been diagnosed with severe anxiety it’s so awful sometimes, I hear one noise at night and can’t move for hours, I feel everyone is out to get me and constantly get feelings of dread just from everyday tasks, I analyze every single detail of everything, my mind is constantly whirring. I hyper focus on things and it feels like I see and hear everything that’s going on around me like an overload of panic based on things that COULD go wrong. Sometimes I find myself planning every possible solution to any situation that could happen to me. It’s exhausting and it’s so normalized and played down in society
SG, Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
Oddly I found this to be just a typical day, I giess that shows how used to my anxiety I have become
Happens to me when I am stressed out, nervous or in a situation that I have no control of. My heart beats very fast, I get negative thoughts, choked up, tense headache 😣 and tears run down my hot face.. I tend to breath slower and talk to myself to calm down.
Emlien Rodriguez same with me sometimes it feels like I'm going to die very scary feeling
Emlien Rodriguez same
I mostly have really bad social anxiety so when I see people I start freaking out like A LOT even if its just one person. Most of the time I just want to sit by myself in a dark corner....which I do actually when I get home.....might sound creepy but its relaxing to me. Most people are scared of the dark so why would they sit in it. It's like my little protective bubble.
yes . this is true , me too i feel soo much better when noone is staring or paying any attention to me . i used to love attention so much .. Now im 13 and i care what everyone thinks.
Me
I have anxiety really bad but I don't experience it this way. Maybe I have a different kind of anxiety or have to a different degree or have different symptoms.
Natasha V everyone has different kinds or types of anxiety attacks so
Natasha V Are you diagnosed? Or someone that just says they have anxiety but actually doesn’t?
Yes I was diagnosed. I've been prescribed meds too but they don't help me not be constantly scared and on edge all the time.
Read More: Wow, that was a bit of an asshole thing to say. Just because someone isn't clinically diagnosed with something doesn't mean they don't suffer from difficult or debilitating symptoms. Just like depression, anxiety is experienced differently from one person to the next.
Not everyone's symptoms are the same for any mental disorder. With that mindset, that's ignorant. Mine are more brought on my worry. Dealing with emotional, physical abuse from everyone all my life, I'm always on edge and on the lookout for people trying to bully me or if I fail at something, it's a tragic thing because failing or messing up in any way wasn't an option growing up. Because it meant beatings, mean things said to me, and bullying.
I can't even watch everything.. I'm out of breath
i got so shaky watching this and my heartbeat went up omg
This is a good representation of panic disorder but the only part its missing in my opinion is the internal monologue, constantly and ruthlessly tearing everything you do apart even if nothings wrong
This really hurts I don’t have it but it feels terrible just watching this. I’m very sorry if this happens to you everyday hope you get better.
I don't have anxiety but watched out of curiosity. This video really helped me understand what this might feel like more than just reading about the symptoms would. Sorry for anyone who has to deal with this, it seems like it's pretty scary. Sending love ❤️
Shaking is what bothers me the most because that's what people can see, my hands shake like crazy and I can't control it no matter how hard I try, nervous smiles too because I try to hide that I'm anxious and show that I'm okay I smile and laugh at anything but deep inside I know that I'm about to break..
Yeah the smiling.. same..
For me
My heart beat goes fast
Everything sounds loud
And everything feels faster than normal
This is fantastic, but I would recommend having a trigger warning as it may upset some people with anxiety :))
Sasha Rose There is a trigger warning in the description
oh didn't see that lol, sorry !
It says anxiety simulator I think it's a given? Unless it didn't say that when the comment was originally posted
i feel like “ *anxiety simulation* ” is a trigger warning within itself...
The title is enough. Common sense is needed here.
2:46 fuck,, the blurry vision is spot on holy shit 3:22 the fidgeting,, this whole video shows exactly what its like,, thank u
I guess I can say I'm a calm person, I've never felt this kind of anxiety in my life. I've never had panic attacks, not even while watching this video. I have been really scared on extreme situations but out of those, nothing has happened to me.
I can't even imagine how hard it would be to feel this everyday, that is why I hate those "funny" images about depression and anxiety, I don't consider this funny.
It’s sooo hard to deal with everyday because u wake up and think about what bad could happen and then u can’t stop thinking about the possibilities and u just end up going insane and crying
I have an anxiety disorder and I'm borderline, sometimes you just need to laugh it off. Everything can be funny. Making depression jokes or dark humor about anxiety can be a good way to acknowledge and accept your illness, so you don't get overwhelmed.
it’s so horrible i hate having it it’s a constant worry and u can’t make it go away ever
I just started watching the video and his heartbeat and the breath made me stop breathin for a while. If my cat wasn't here to help me, I couldn't watch it till the end, she makes me relax, then I don't have to take so much pills 💜 this simulation is extraordinary
i hate when i get them in class cause all i can do is fidget and barley breathe and panic...btw you should probs give a trigger warning cause it triggered my anxiety really bad and i ended up having a really bad attack during this
Marissa Arrojado that's why he said to read the description
well alot of people dont anyways and could end up getting hurt so it should be in the video
the scene in the classroom is very accurate and true for me it's so overwhelming because of all the tapping, yelling and hearing my own heart beat
This started making my anxiety really bad, my heart started pounding in synch with the video.
I beat cancer twice, but now deal with this everyday... Sometimes idk if it was worth fighting the cancer.
I felt like the person in the POV was constantly staring at corners and "closed" spots which make you feel like your sight is restrained (you can't see any wider than a spot), and this caused a sensation that anything could be around you and something was going to happen. Is that what it was supposed to convey?
Gihad Soares
For me,it makes my chest tighten up,like something is pushing it in. My stomach knots up,and I can't eat. I think people are out to get me when in out walking around,and I look around every corner and street as I walk. I get shaky,sometimes to the point where I can't even take a sip of water without making a mess. I get berry irritable,and it makes my deppresion worse. Anxiety is constant fear for your life,everyone experiences it differently. You will even question your own loved ones,even someone you've been with for years. Mix on some ptsd, tourettes,adhd,and depression,and you have a cocktail of a whole different world. It's berry difficult,especially when your expected to work under these conditions,and be with the norm of aociety,and wondering why everyone is judging you,even though no one really is. It's a ball of crazy that I would never wish on my worst enemy. I hope this answered your qeustion?
Gihad Soares sometimes that’s how I feel. Like wherever I’m not looking something is going to sneak up there. It sounds ridiculous but it happens and idk why it’s like our survival instincts are in overdrive. Maybe the creator will reply and answer your question.
Gihad Soares i legit feel really scared if someone is walking behind me because i cant see them
Yes and that's how I see
anybody else start madly tapping their fingers and breathing smaller breaths while watching this?
this video is very accurate, in my opinion, and is causing me anxiety, so idk why I keep watching these.
My parents say: Only adults have anxiety/depression, kids like you are just finding an excuse to be on your phones all the time!
It gets worse when I had to move back to my parent's place. Being strictly religious they are, I have to do all of the religious obligations no matter how bad I feel with my body. So for example, every morning around 6am I had to wake up to pray. Around that time my body would feel off and my brain just be foggy. It doesn't matter to me parents. Pray is pray. How ironic that I pray for this to go away but it's prayer times that makes my anxiety to shoot up.
I feel like i'm losing my breath while watching this vid and i had a panic attack
I rly think u did an amazing job capturing what living with anxiety is like. I had such bad anxiety in the early stages of high school, and so little people understood which makes it nearly impossible to go to school and create a life. In ur video u captured the jarring/ disjointed feeling that comes along w anxiety and which creates so much panic for ppl. I think this video should b used in lessons about mental health
I have anxiety pretty bad n this def sums it up pretty well. I'm medicated but i still get intense anxiety attacks
Honestly I was expecting this to be shit, but it's the most accurate representation of Anxiety I've seen so far. The ragged breathing when she was walking down the street at the start, the constant heartbeat you can hear in your ears, the fidgeting in class, tapping the pen, swaying when walking, all of is so familiar, because I experience it all the time. Good job
My anxiety is like my mind feels like "somebody has just been murdered here and you're in a really really bad place to be right now."

Walking at an empty street and scared just thinking that they might be someone watching you or saw you already. You don’t want anyone to see you
Yeah, I walk with my friend everywhere cuz I’m the size of a kid, and I could easily be snatched. It’s mostly the part of being watched tho
I almost cried while watching this yes totally on point though. I even wear shades it's embarrassing but gets me through the days.
ive been thinking about getting shades it helped me before when i was wearing some weed shades . lmao
this is a very accurate description of how anxiety feels like, i had a lot of it. it always feels like time was short, it felt like i was in this void and i could actually hear my heart beat a lot. at times my heart beat felt really deep. sound intensified. i watched this video because i felt like looking back at my hardships and my suffering, i realized that my anxiety was an initiation to life. once i got rid of it i was free, i felt like i can do anything. to those who suffer from this all i can say is fight. it dont matter if you lose an arm or a leg, you go back the trunk and you put on a new one.
I have never been diagnosed with anxiety or panic disorder. But hearing his heart race almost all day had me slow my breathing and do breathing exercises as of I was trying to slow my heart rate.
Didn't feel the room close in on me, but I felt myself emotionally dissociating.
Okay ,but why is this true? I thought it would be those videos who use stereotypes like “anxiety is just feeling scared”, I appreciate this video bless your soul😤💖.
Where's the intrusive thoughts, when I have an anxiety/panic attack I always get the worse thoughts and so many what ifs
Same. The constant buzzing sound in the video I do not have. It is more overthinking as a constant.
The part where the cars drove by gave me chills and made my chest feel tight, very accurate very triggering.
I don’t know if I have anxiety but some days, usually on the bus on my way to school, I’ll get so nervous that I get really bad cramps in my stomach and I can barely breathe, and I can feel my heart pounding and hear it through my ears. I also play with my hands, I’m shakey, and I avoid talking to anyone or making eye contact with anyone unless I’m friends with them or I know them really well. Is that anxiety, or is it different for everyone??
Sophie Ranney I'm pretty sure those are some signs of anxiety. 😞
It sounds like a panic attack.
Sophie Ranney anxiety is a full on 24 hour sort of thing. This sounds like a panic attack to me so I think you may suffer from panic attacks
this video triggered my anxiety, i can sense when i comes there is extreme pressure on my ears and i feel like i can't breathe
this made my anxiety 100 × worse
PS: don't watch if you have anxiety
One time I was having a anxiety attack while sleeping, it was like I was awake..but not? Idk, but my mom recorded It for my doctor to see if it’s normal. It is, but it looks like I am having a horrible nightmare, and I’m trying to wake up but I can’t. I have this often, it sucks. You did a really good job with demonstrating anxiety!!
i get really bad anxiety attacks when i talk on the phone
I don’t have anxiety but I do have someone that I really care about that experiences anxiety and I’m trying to understand better. Do you know why talking on the phone triggers them?
Same
@@ADaywith8K like the uncertainty of what they’re going to say back, i’m not really sure. this doesn’t freak me out nearly as much as it did back when i originally wrote this, but i feel like it was just a fear of not knowing what to say or saying the wrong thing.
For me. Anxiety is like... a gate. no a wall. A wall that has gold and money and love on the other side. But I’m afraid to get it because I care what people think.. I fear what people say about me. I feel unworthy. It’s like. Chains are gripping me to the floor and I could easily get out of them but I choose not to
Ive never experienced the constant ringing nor the ticking but everything else is accurate
I’m watching this after a panic attack
I wish I was like everyone else. Fearless and carefree.
This induced anxiety for me. Lately I have been going to the gym daily. Quit drinking daily... This video though.. Made me scared and I wanna cry now. I think it's the being back in that depressing room or the high pitched ringing.
got to the school one and exited off staring into space and vision was blurry at points making my hands into fists. i was aware of the attack and tears were in my eyes but i held them back. i have symptoms of social anxiety and i’m scared to go to a doctor to get the diagnosis
me too
me too
me too
Meditation has helped me in a huge way with anxiety attacks.
Seriously this is what i feel everyday. Shit I know how does it feels
You showed me what it’s like for other people even though I have anxiety mine isn’t as noticeable but this made me have a panic attack
I don’t agree with the visual aspect of it all but the rest yeah.
The visual fuzz. I get that both with my anxiety and dissociation. I wonder why that happens.
Idk if this is normal but, my anxiety gets so bad it causes me nausea and sometimes I throw up. 😓 Idk if that's normal...
Unfortunately it is. Well for me anyway 🤔😕
I think I just realised I have anxiety. No, seriously. Everything here... besides a few little things, are pretty accurate to me.
Omg I got really scared watching this video
This is exactly what it feels like, like u can hear and feel ur own heart beat😞
Yeah, it feels like something is counting down. And it feels like everything you do is wrong or your a freak. Just writing this comment I used grammerly to check this 😓
@@Melissa-sf6fb yeah your right, and also cuz i suffer from schizophrenia disorder, so i have to take pills and descripted medication, so yeah thats no fun😐
Uhwot. It just looked like a normal day??
xo lena ox you have to put your sound on and listen
Lena Is stinky a day in the life of somebody with anxiety is never normal.
this is so accurate. thank you for giving people ways to understand how people like me are feeling.
When you don't know if the high pinches noise you're hearing is the video or real life 😂
I find this to be more of a simulation of a panic attack then my anxiety itself. The heightened awareness of senses, hearing, hearing your heart beat, restless habits and inability to concentrate, particularity in dangerous situations is pretty accurate though.
Pretty accurate
Just watching made my anxiety start. That feeling in your stomach and the feeling of a panic attack.
Honestly this is so accurate, what is the real problem for me is the panic attacks and sense of drowning nearly every day and the feeling that people are staring at me in disgust.
But what really hurts is when people tell me that I will get over it, that I will overcome it.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
When i have anxiety attacks,
My heart beats rapidly
I breath heavily till my chest hurts, when i take the deepest breaths it still feels like i cant breath
The world around me becomes blurry and I lose my thoughts by the second.
Those parts with the cars really got my heart racing because I'm terrified of being near busy streets and the sounds of cars really scare me.
How awful. I'm very sorry for those who have to go through this or other mental illness.
i have overcame anxiety & depression 4 years ago. however, the other night, i was home alone and had a great day (i went out with my friend and saw a movie, went to a cute cafe). i was extremely tired since i woke up pretty early but it was around 9pm and i was already very sleepy. so i wanted to sleep, i closed my eyes then i suddenly felt a presence. as if somebody was staring at me or coming to me. the thing is ive always been home alone multiple of times and ive never been scared, not even once, but that time it was different. it happened 3 times straight every time i tried to close my eyes. i became terrified, but i finally fell asleep, for only ONE minute into deep sleep when suddenly my eyes were lit up again out of a sudden as if someone just woke me up. i hugged myself and could feel the sudden headache, chest pain, heavy breathing, terrified, unsecured & insecure. from there i know anxiety was attacking me after 4 years, it was the worst feeling ever i didnt know what to do so i suddenly cried and told my friends about it. i wanted to call one of my friends to call me to be with me, but even that made me think thousands of times and i had so many doubts & what ifs. i was alone with my own thoughths and anxiety for 4 hours straight. i wanted to study since my exam was coming up but nothing worked out. it fucking sucks i hate it SO much.
This was so good that it made me anxious watching this, as if I wasn’t already
This video is pretty cool. I also have bad anxiety and this was the most realistic simulation so far. :) thanks for spreading awareness of what it really is.
im sorry th-cam.com/video/6Iierx2l3MI/w-d-xo.html i hope this helps
This was very accurate, oh my goodness. The ringing in my ears. The restlessness. Feeling like I can't breathe. Feeling like I'm having a heart attack. Crying uncontrollably, but trying to hold back the tears so no one sees. Sometimes, I try to grab onto the walls or tables to prevent myself from falling over. At my absolute worse, I see things in my peripheral vision that aren't there, and I have to wait for the attack to be over before they go away.
This video is spot on, I also get “noise” induced anxiety. So sounds like Emergency Alerts, babies crying, yelling, loud car engines , motorcycles, “raising noises” such as airplane engines or sounds effects in dub step and electronic music all give me panic attacks. The first thing I want to do when I hear the sounds are run away as fast as I can lol. It’s hard to deal with especially when your friends and family don’t understand it or think you are over reacting.
Anxiety is real people. Stay strong and keep your head up.
this is beyond accurate i mean i almost passed out because it was so real but i appreciated it
Even when I don't have an attack I'm always aware of my heartbeat, and the fuzzy vision is so accurate. Anxiety sucks, and some people are just like "oh, get over it" or "we all feel anxious sometimes" and I hate that so much, because it's not just feeling anxious, it's feeling like everything around you and every situation puts your life at risk and you don't know what the hell to do
I couldn't watch this for to long cause I have easily triggered anxiety I got to 1:08 but still I wanna applaud you on making this.
