    This means so much to me coming from someone who has severe Emetophobia and agoraphobia. Emetophobia is so unheard of, it means a lot for someone like you to be sharing this information. I always thought you had it all together, so it's very humanizing I guess to hear you speak this way. Thank you so much.

    I watched my dad try to strangle my mom when I was 13 and I still have vivid flashbacks. Whenever anyone starts to cough really hard it makes my heart rate skyrocket. It was a night that would change my life forever. I really could relate to your story- thank you so much for sharing.

    Omg. I struggle with emetophobia, fear of throwing up. I get so scared when anyone I know coughs, days there stomach hurts, or says they don’t feel good. I got so scared I wouldn’t even go to school, let alone gym class because someone had thrown up there. I am doing so much better now, but the struggle is real.

    When you were explaining your phobias and how 'irrational' and 'debilitating' they are it made you look so strong to me. I have anxiety and PTSD that produce really irrational thoughts that I have a hard time telling to even the closest people in my life, and I just want you to know that I know those thoughts are real to you, and terrifying, and I hope that you continue to put in the work to take control of those thoughts, I know how much effort it takes

    I recently just started vomiting from having spikes of anxiety. My heart starts to race and then I get nauseous and my mouth starts salivating, then I vomit. It’s gotten to the point where I’m scared to be in certain positions and around certain people that give me anxiety because I’ll puke. I know how you feel girl and I thank you for spreading awareness of it because I didn’t know it was a thing until now.

    As someone who suffers with and diagnosed with anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and agoraphobia...I’m so glad that you made this video. Some people are quick to judge when they don’t try to understand. I’ve struggled with relationships in my life because some individuals just say “you’re fine” or “get over it” etc. I wish more influencers could be open and honest with their struggles like you can be. This world is a scary place, and there’s a lot of us who are suffering on the inside but trying to get through their day. Thank you for sharing your story! Xx 💞

      Sammy Cebs of course! It truly makes my heart hurt when I see someone whose clearly struggling and people around them are quick to knock them down. It doesn’t take much to lend a hand or say hey do you wanna talk about it, or even take a walk with someone. I’m hoping that in this new year people can be more aware and more understanding 💞

    Didn’t comment at first, but came back to let you know you’re really reaching people. Went thru a traumatic experience in 2015 after my dad was in a debilitating car wreck. I’m finally going to my first therapy session next week. I feel like this was the perfect thing to watch before i go, as I’ve had anxiety about going itself & put it off. Thanks for sharing 💖

    This is such a relief to see some creators talking more and more about mental health issues. Seeing other real people experiencing and talking about the same struggles that I have brings so much comfort to nervous minds like mine. Im entirely undiagnosed due to my parents insisting that its just teenage nerves and that i'll be fine... As soon as im independent enough to get help im planning on it and since your experiences are similar to mine, learning from your journey is helping me more than I can say. Thank you so much Lauren 💕

I know how hard it is to talk about it so you should be really proud of yourself .💜 Breathing really helps for me, it can calm me down when nothing else will.💜💜💜 I think you’ve helped a lot of people by posting this.💜

  • @MegsC19
    @MegsC19 4 ปีที่แล้ว +99

    My anxiety affects me physically, so when I’m anxious and having an attack I have to poop. So taking a bus over a bridge or getting stuck on the metro, it triggers my anxiety cause my stomach starts to hurt and I have to poop but can’t get to a bathroom and that makes me panic. I totally relate to you. I always carry pepto with me as well. Therapy has definitely helped me but there are still these moments when the attacks come on and I have to find a bathroom ASAP.
    Thank you for this video, thanks for your openness!
    We love you ♥️

    • @theresag.4188

      Wow that's horrible. Anxiety really manifests in different ways. I never thought about that as a symptom. When I had anxiety in the beginning I had derealization where I felt like I wasnt in my body. That was terrifying. And this past year I get vertigo with my anxiety. I feel you so much! I'm learning grounding and coping techniques! Stay strong and keep getting help. I need to go back to cognitive behavioral therapy this next year. 🙏

    • @MegsC19
      @MegsC19 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Theresa G. Thank you so much. I wish you all the same. I am definitely going to look into grounding techniques. It’s wild how anxiety manifests in so many different ways. I really loved that Lauren touched upon it. Though anxiety sucks, it’s nice to know that we aren’t alone.

      oh my god. i’ve never met anyone who has to use the bathroom during anxiety like i do. in 2017-2018 i barely got out of the house, terrified that i would have to use the bathroom anywhere i go.

    • @SaraH-xl4us
      @SaraH-xl4us 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mine is going pee. Whenever I get really anxious I have to find a bathroom right that second so I can relate. And vice versa, if I have to pee I tend to get anxious to find the nearest bathroom. It has gotten better with coping mechanisms but I haven't had anyone have an anxiety attack that's similar to mine

  • @ClairePhippen

I, too, have had someone ignore me while I was having an anxiety attack and it's the most horrible, loneliest feeling in the world. Take care of yourself.

    I am so grateful that you are bringing light to this kind of anxiety disorder because when you were trying to describe how your two phobias work together, I almost started crying because that is exactly what my GAD and OCD are centered around. I very rarely come across people who have both in the same way I do and I want to thank you so much for making this video to spread your message and story. You are amazing and I have been watching you for years, and I’ve always looked up to you. Thank you
