our anxiety issues sound SOOOO similar. except mine was in reverse, it was fine young but then when i got older it exploded. still to this day i have issues with public outings due to the thought of throwing up. its such an odd phobia but it takes over my life! :/
wow I go through those sames things, I was like that as a kid too. I can't remember a day where I didn't have that butterflies in the stomach feeling. I just didn't find out it was Anxiety until a year ago when I got sick with my gall bladder and I got REAL bad anxiety when they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I drove everyone nuts. It scared me because it was never that bad before but it literally felt like I was losing my mind. I still work on it every day. thanks :)
I have high anxiety & panic disorder & i dont have any like things that make me calm down..so all i do is freak out to the point where ill like pass out, throw up, or cry D:
i have the same EXACT anxiety. when i was a 3rd grader i suffered from separation anxiety & the fear of vomiting. i would throw fits & beg my parents to let me stay home from school or any public events. the problem eventually faded away but returned in the 6th grade.instead i would drive myself mad in my own thoughts to the point where sleep was impossible. To cope with this i discovered that making lists helps me. Ex: my favorite movies ect. i thought id share & maybe it can help you guys!
I hate how sometimes i just randomly don't want to go to school, i don't want to do anything but sleep or being alone listening to music. It makes me feel bad that people around me don't understand me and they get mad at me cuz i don't want to do anything or my feelings are "weird" that day. Sometimes i will just push myself to do things. my depression, high stress levels make my anxiety really bad, but I'm coping(:
i've gotten to the point where i HATE being in social situations....like literally cant go out to a party or bar or diner without havin a drink or 4 or popping a xanax....
@TheBelladonnaMorte yeah i used to be really bad, my boyfriend and i would plan to go out to eat and once we got there i literally could not get out of the car, just couldnt do it, my heart would start racing i'd freak out. we would have to turn around and go home
i suffer with depression, I've had really crappy times i haven't got the best family... i'm going to try aroma therapy i also joined choir, drama club and swimming yesterday and i thing that will help me focus on other things, i suggest setting your mind to something else than thinking about the problames you cant solve thanks xxx <3 love you bunny :)
panic attacks are the worst. i never had one until about 4 years ago... and ever since they have never completely gone away. I fear that they never completely will but at least now I can control them. Before, I was powerless... and that feeling is unbearable for me. People that have never experience a panic attack cannot understand how terrifying it is.
No shame. My boyfriend thinks the Deer Hunter album was one of the most like underrated albums. Like, it was a big deal and then people kind of forgot about it.
I'm a new subscriber and this video really helped me. I suffer from anxiety and a fear of getting sick suddenly in public or getting sick when I have something important I am obligated to do. I never realized until you said it that my fear of getting sick and having it interfere with my life is actually a really big part of why I feel anxious. I don't have anyone that understands this kind of thing so having your video out there really makes a difference to me. Thank you.
i suffer from really bad depression and anxiety i can function in society you know go in stores, work (even though i'm laid off currently), but my problems come into play when i have to interact with someone on a NON-professional level just on a social (breakroom talk watercooler convo). i always come off awkward and weird ppl always leave with this bad impression of me.that i'm either painfully quiet and secretly judging them or i'm strange and creepy sucks cause i use to be a really normal kid
I've had anxiety/panic disorder for a year now I feel that drinking camomille tea at night before bed really helps the morning after. I stopped medication because it really does change you. But I run half a mile before school and that really helps too. Thanks for your advise too :)
hello! :) I have a fashion/beauty channel, and I'm trying to reach 100 subscribers. Could you please help me and subscribe? Thank you so much, it would mean so much to me :)
I'm glad I found your channel. I am also an only child and have dealt with social anxiety disorder and depression ever since I was in elementary school. Such a great video, thank you for opening up and sharing :-)
Thank you so much for making this video Bunny. I have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 13 years old, I am now 24 years old. It has gotten alot better and my bouts of depression and my anxiety attacks are alot less frequent but it is still a struggle at times, so it is really nice to know that someone else is going through something so similar. Makes me feel not quite so alone in it. And I totally know what you mean about the focusing on something else thing! You rock Bunny! <3 x
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm also super afraid of throwing up (especially in public) and of others throwing up -- do you have a specific thought process you go through to calm yourself down when that feeling flares up and you can't drive or walk away from the current situation (such as if you're stuck in a crowd)?
thank you for posting this! it makes me realize that i'm not alone in the way i'm feeling. lately i've been feeling really down because no one i know seems to understand what i have been going through. you are such an amazing person and kind of remind me of myself only older lol
I went through things sort of related to this. I have extreme hypochondria / anxiety, and sometimes it leads to bits of depression. I always freak out extremely about being sick, and becoming deathly ill due to a chronic illness or something like that. About three or four months ago I stopped going to school, I would get small pains and freak out so badly thinking I had some form of cancer or something like that, and then that would spiral into anxiety attacks. It's horrible, ♥ youuuuu
I've started having huge panic attacks. I was in school recently I had a massive attack that lasted at least forty minutes and I wasn't normal until three days later. My heart rate reached 175 at one point. I get really sick too. I've gotten myself help, on leave from my job, and dropped out of school. I'm now taking Ativan. I'm also getting off my birth control and going on a gluten free/juicing diet, because these might be causing it too and could help. I'm scared. And seriously depressed.
i just ran into your channel and seen this and was like wow this person is great they have the same issue i have cause when i was younger i didn't have many big issues with anxiety but after my grandfather passed(i was a adult then) thats when it came to be like a huge issue i started have panic attacks some times over small things and still do my husband don't understand any of this but for 8 years it has gotten worse and seeing this makes me feel better the tips and tricks i will use next time
Any whoozles, my anxiety/depression comes from the same place that my obsession with ghosts comes from. My sister died when I was 11, and a month afterwards we moved 100 miles away (it was already planned before, we actually pushed it back after my sister died). Now, I have severe emetophobia and dermatilamania. The dermatilamania was/is (less and less every day) a coping mechanism. This is amazing advice. Thanks for doing this!!!
I can really relate to this. All the time, I'm anxious about school. I try and calm myself down by telling myself it's not a big deal. It usually gets worse when I stay at an unusual area overnight on a school night(like at a cousin's or my grandmother's). To fix it I do have a routine, which is riding around looking at nature or just sitting by family.
I'm glad i came across this :) my boyfriend suffers from depression and anxiety, and called me a few hours ago in tears cause he was freaking out .. And i had no idea how to help him. Thank you :) Also i completely understand your fear of throwing up, i have that as well, so bad that i can't even be around someone who burps or food scraps that resemble puke lol
Wow, can I relate and thanks so much for sharing how you cope. I have definitely taken something from your video...lots of great tips you gave. Your positive energy really helps and I don't feel so alone. Thx so much! Laura
I really understand what it's like. My panic attacks started to be very very frequent when I moved from my family to study in other city. I was living alone, and whould just wake up in the middle of the night in panic, feeling sick, not feeling my arms. It was scary as hell, because i really thought I was going to die. What helped me is to call somebody and just talk while it went away. Thank God I had some friends whom I can call all the time. Breathing in a plastic bag quite hellped too.
I kind of do those 'routines' as well.. Without them I would not even leave my bed, especially in the winter.. It really helps to see that I'm not the only one who does this :)
I didn't read the comments but I think that's great advice and it is actually very similar to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). You or other viewers can read up on that online if you haven't heard much about it. I think it would be fun to see you talk about the cognitive part of it and the way it all connects ;) Thoughts-behavior-feelings, change something in one and it will have affect on the other ones :)
Lately I have been less panicky, which is great considering what I've dealt with. I'm a senior in high school, and when I was a freshman/sophmore I used to have those morning panic attacks. I'd wake up hyper ventilating, crying, and on the verge of being sick. This would be like 2-3 out of 5 days of school days. Now, I suffer from social anxiety. It's a never ending cycle, lol. I'm hoping when I go to college my panic attacks don't spike.
Thank you for posting this, I learned a lot of tips! <3
this is basically the story of my life since third grade, and I never thought anyone felt that way about school or just leaving the house some days until i saw this...
I understand so well...so well!!! When I was in my early 20's I had major panic disorder and ocd. I don't have time to get into it all as I am fine now but I totally understand everything you said. I would be honored to have you as a subbie. Check out my channel. Sub if you would or don't either way I hope you have a safe, happy & FUN NEW YEAR!! Love & Light to you always--
the numbing and tingling feeling i get that and feel that i was about to faint and die and if i took anything even aspirin i would over dose and freak out even more lol i hate panic attacks i get them all the freaking time
I basically can relate with majority of this...including love for dear hunter ^.^ I hate hearing other people feel the same way I do because it really sucks >.<
Working out/any sort of exercise really helps me. it's healthy for you,and releases endorphins which naturally calm you down and make you feel better.♥
Yeah I have horrible anxiety. I will literally just sit there and think, worry, then freak myself out. They want me to visit a psychiatrist, but that freaks me out. It makes me feel... like a freak.
unless your have a real serius disorder. Then its most likely caused by some stressfactor in your life. Or some new realization that stresses you out since your worldview gotta change. The last one fixes itself in a few months if you take it easy and do familiar tasks. If it is the first one then removing yourself from the cause will begin to cure you. If you cant (economic stress) then meditating can make you more tolerant in time to stress. But it can only do so much to be honest.
My bestie sent me this video. I have a lot of general anxiety and fear of having another panic attack or losing my mind. Its nice to know im not alone :). I will think of something i could do as a destress routine, although I cant think of any atm that wont aggravate me lol.
I completely relate to you...I get really bad anxiety and I also have a severe fear of vomiting and it actually has a name, its called emetophobia. Thank you for making this video : )
It would make my day if you replied to this! Bunny, I'm not lying. You are JUST like me!!
When I was younger, I was also an only child with my mom.
I would throw HUGE fits in the morning not wanting to go to school.
I couldn't even learn!! Then, something else took the role of the separation anxiety. Which was, Thanatophobia (Fear of Dying) and Emetophobia (Fear of Vomiting) .. I was so afraid and I finally got on meds that worked. Also, I have the SAME style that you do. <3 U Bunny<333333333
I relate to a lot of this. It got pretty bad when I went to college but it's gotten better after my first semester. My biggest problem is I have a fear of death. It's sort of like how you're afraid of getting sick and going to the hospital. I just freak out for no reason about it and it's really hard to deal with. Also, I'm afraid of driving, probably for the same reason. Anyone have any advice? And thank you for posting this video, it helped me not feel so alone. <3
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I had to go to the hospital and have several tests done due to the "fizzy feeling" that eventually took over my entire body. So terrifying. It's really a relief to know I'm not alone.
its insane reading all of these comments how many of us suffer from the same things. my biggest issue is fear of throwing up, or not being able to get out of a place somewhere...im on paxil, but i also look at it as, YOU are not alone and so many others feel the exact same way. And to be honest nothing lasts forever.. <3 you bunny
I have more anxiety about seeing or hearing other people throw up more than myself throwing up. I used to be a lot worse where I would be afraid that when I would leave the house I would see someone throw up in public, like that was always on my mind.
I just started watching your videos( i seriously have watched them all in like a couple days haha) I love this one! it is so helpful and also uplifting. You mentioned you are an only child. So I am. Do you think that has anything to do with your anxiety? Because I wonder that about myself sometimes.
i have horrible anxiety too. mine mainly comes from my phobia of throwing up. i found something that helps that's called nerve tonic. it's a homeopathic pill and i keep it with me at all times. i don't like meds at all so it being natural is best for me. i'm glad you made this bunny!
anyone who is having anxiety and doesn't like medication should check out nerve tonic, you can get it at wal-mart for like 4 bucks. hope everyone who is going through this gets better.
I deal with really bad anxiety every day of my life. I always feel so alone and like no one understands. I've also wanted to do youtube videos but i was too scared. I've followed you for a long time, and this video means a whole lot to me and shows me how amazing and real of a person you are. Even if you don't respond, I want you to know how much a personal video like this can help people. I feel a step closer to coming out of this whole of anxiety and depression. I thank you endlessly...<3
I did have really bad anxiety but I am on medication for it now. I also wear an elastic band around my wrist and when I feel like I’m about to freak out I pull on it and the sharp pain of the elastic band helps me bring myself back into the moment and not think of anything else but the present.
You should make that Vlog about the car accidentQ And it's so nice to find someone who has similar problems. I have a "fear" or throwing up, and if the slightest sick feeling comes across me I pop a gravol. And whenever I'm in a room I try to make sure I'm close to an exit (That kind of has to do with claustrophobia too.). But I also have anxiety brought on by legit health problems that I have that can't be fixed. And like you, I'm not on any meds either, even though they were prescribed.
Bless you for sharing. I had a bout of mood/depression. I found out that I had a thyroid problem. I've since had my thyroid removed due to disease. But, the 360 that happened when I became balanced is amazing. I do take hormones though. Through it all I didn't loose myself...I got myself back.
I completely understand what your going through, I suffer from high anxiety as well. when I start itching on my arms or legs I FREAK out. I start hyper ventilating and get nauseous. basically make the situation worse. or when something happens or I get yelled, i get a anxiety attack and can't breathe and start sobbing my eyes out, doesn't help that i'm extremely sensitive either its so frustrating :/
totally relate to this,i suffer with the same thing,i think about being outside on a winters night or all the old cartoons i like from being a child etc and the same things as what you do with the perfume..
This video made me love you even more! I watched all of it. It's comforting to watch/hear someone with anxiety and how they deal with it. ThankYOU, you beautiful soul :)
So many things that you described I experience and have experienced. I have social anxiety and depression. I can't go places that I never been because I start having panic attacks. The list goes on. But I feel you.
Bunny you are so brave for sharing... I deal with Major depression, Anxiety and panic attacks. I went through a lot of issues myself in middle school and high school. I appreciate you sharing your story... and I know a lot of others do too. I use to be a cutter, then I found writing as an outlet. Also, I found taking a hot bath helps with my panic attacks. If you ever need someone to talk to my name is Christina Ford on facebook.
im so glad you made this video! I am the same exact way and i know exactly what you mean but feeling "fizzy" ive been on and off many medications and diagnosed with quite a few things such as extreme anxiety, depression, and ocd. it helps to know that you are not alone and you are so strong for sharing your story.
and being so strong. I've been watching your videos since the very beginning and will stick with them until the very end (I hope they never so though) peace, love and hugs Jodi (vampiregal616) xxx
rows when i'm out somewhere. Now i'm going to be going to see Derren Brown in a big theatre in March next year and the Harry Potter Warner Brothers tour for my birthday and neither of which would have been able to happen if I didn't have my fiance and my mum who believed with me and stuck with me all the time. I'm also planning to get married late next year and that would never have been able to happen either. Sorry about my long comments but I wanted to thank you so much for sharing your story
taken away from my family, I'm so close to my mum, treated like a little kid when mentally I wasn't that age) all of this stemmed most of panic attacks and depression. I still have problems and sleep in the day (to which my parents get angry and don't understand) and i'm still very sensitive (got bullied until i was scared of school when I was younger and had bad foster parents who made fun of me). I used to walk it out when I panic, text my mum, sit down and breathe it out, I sit on the end of
can't even understand it sometimes, i'm on medication now, with my fiance who's been with me thick and thin and stuck by my side and making my dreams come true and I am so thankful to him, my mum helped me aswell, I was housebound before but he helped me and little by little i've got some sort of normality back. I had trouble sleeping, I would cry and rock and panic in the corner of my room before bed because of flash backs (my sister died, it was a rare brain tumour but we didn't know, I was
Bunny, I really really related to this, I know what the 'tingling' is like, my problem that makes me freak out more is i'll get lightheaded adn my fear is fainting. I lost my job through anxiety and depression, I had a hard time at school, I had to miss a load of lessons because I just didn't feel like I could go to them and stay in a room, I had 'friends' that just dismissed me because I found it hard to go out, I had boyfriends that broke up with me because they couldn't handle it, my own dad
[i have extremely bad anxiety/depression/ocd] i have the SAME anxiety that you do when it comes to being or feeling sick, but i'll go to the extremes of googling my symptoms then freaking myself out more, then even picturing an ambulance having to rush here to save me, but what if they don't get here in enough time & what if it could be lethal & i have to be airlifted, & i will go on & on & on making myself more sick & anxious by conjuring up insane scenarios.
I also have anxiety and depression but I'm slowly getting better as the years go on. Last year was pretty bad for me too. I tried to overdose at the end of March and quickly was abandoned by all of my friends after that. And oh my god I do that driving around aimlessly thing a lot too towards the middle of the night and also make routines for myself. It helps me cope I suppose.
thanks you know I am going threw some depression/axiety now too I haven't done anything this weekend but try to talk to people on my social networking sites and I didn't know what to do I would sit there and start thinking too much about everything that's stressing me and what's important and what's not. I think that's a good idea for me like you said to develop a routine to get my mind off of things :) thanks -3
I've suffered from depression & OCD since a really young age and I honestly don't know anyone who suffers from it like I do. I don't take my meds anymore because they made me gain weight like crazy, and I like you said, I didn't feel like myself anymore.You've given me some great ideas to cope and help with things. I recently started making collages to just calm down. I know how it feels, and I know how hard it is to talk about. You're really strong, and really awesome. Thanks Bunny! <3
This is such a great topic to open up about, Bunny. A lot of people, including myself, will be able to open up and talk about what may be hindering their soul when they may have previously felt like the only ones....It is so important to be able to come together and let out these feelings when we may have never had any outlet before. Thanks a lot Bunny, you are truly an inspiration to a lot of people. <3 Sandy
This video really helped me a lot. I've been trying to make youtube videos to help me with this, I just can't think of what to do or I get worried about others opinion. I do find that a set routine helps but sometimes being depressed makes me not want to to them. Argh. Thank you for this Bunny <3
Last year was terrible for me. I was the caregiver for my grandma for 4 years and her Alzheimer's and dementia got really bad to the point where she didn't even know who I was. She passed away in March and I'm still not over it. My best friend's mother died and she was like a mother figure to me. One of my friends brother and mother died this year and I was very close to them as well. So many deaths this year. My mom also lost her job and I have a lot of health issues. I have bad anxiety as well
I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME. EXACT. EVERY WORD YOU SAID REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER, I LOOK UP TO YOU AND TO KNOW SOMEONE I LOOK UP TO HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS ME MEANS SO MUCH. LUCKILY I AM OLDER NOW AND I HAVE OVERCAME MOST ANXIETY I ONCE FELT, BUT I DID REACH A LOW POINT IN MY LIFE AND THIS VIDEO IS AN EXACT EXPLANATION OF IT. THANK YOU GIRL. WE LOVE YOU.
Anxiety medication doesnt change your personality, i was on alot of stuff for my social anxiety and it doesnt do much but more or just slows down the heart rate so it relaxes you a little more thats. medication for anxiety is more or less treating the physical symptoms not the mental parts. i have Bipolar and the medication for that yes that will change who you are because its to stabilize your mood changes.
Thank you for putting your story out there. Mine is very very similar to yours. We have many similar symptoms. Thank you for the tips!! I also might add you could try crocheting. It helps me and distracts me and is both constructive and creative. Xoxo
This is really intresting considering I start college at the end of Jan '12. I have a panic disorder and depression, and while I have managed to (somehow) passed by without an attack. I"m still worried about what's to become of me on Jan. 23? :(
i was diagnosed with depression about 3 months ago, but for the past 2 years i have missed so much school and slept all day.when i started getting better i stopped taking my tablets, and now it's getting worse and i'm starting to stay away from school again. i don't like being around people, i feel singled out. when i do go to school i go sit with one of my friends who also has depression but her depression isn't as bad. You're a really big inspiration bunny and im glad i found your youtube <3
URGENT: i totaly understand could i maby messege you in private on youtube...... if no thts ok um what helps me is i make shoes and coths ...... could i make you a pair or something? and one pair to give awey :) i love this video it made feel like im not alone any more thank you so much ;,)
Oh god how I get you. Especially about medical issues. I'm super freaked out right now because I have to go for exploratory surgery and my biggest fear ever is blood clots. I was almost over the fear when a friend of mine (who was 23 at the time) died from one after two massive back surgeries. So the revolving panic is crazy. I get the "Numb" panic in my face and fingers. I also get it as "leg pain" which makes me want to cry.
@Karaisoke my prayers are with you! i'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. i totally understand how scary medical stuff is, but i'm sure you will get through and recover nicely. :)
A couple years ago my mom went through her second divorce and in the same week my then-bf left me. it was really tough. i found that a lot of the things you said were how i dealt with it then, along with music. some songs just really connected with me because the message was so similar to what i felt and it was reassuring to know that i wasnt the only one having a hard time.
last year was the worst year of my life also!! lost my beloved dog after 10 years and then a month later lost my grandfather that died in the room while i was with him....
I suffer from really bad social anxiety, so when I started making youtube videos instead of just having an account to watch them, it helped to distract me from the anxiety. I'm definitely no pro or anything in anything I post, but I like using it to talk to other people and learn new stuff.
@grav3yardgirl to me not really, but with some of the more popular gurus, you would think so.... youtube is all about fun to me.... and sometimes I have wanted to quit because of some of the trolls I have gotten!
I understand what your going through, Last year was the worst year of my life too, I got hit by a car on November 8 and now I have like memory loss |: and I have insomnia sometimes it's frustrating ,
@karenazcarate14 i'm so sorry! one time i was crossing a street and this guy wasn't paying attention and he started to lurch forward to make a right on red and he bumped into me with his SUV and it freaked me out so bad! i can't imagine how scary it must have been to actually be hit by a car! <3
@Pooq45 I dont know that film, the term is technically chronic anxiety. But its her thing, let her call it what ever she likes. If thats high anxiety then let that be so.
It's a myth that medication changes your personality. Unless they were prescribing a heavy duty MAOI (which is usually tried after SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants have been tried out) there would be no negative personality change, rather a much more likely chance that it would change your personality for the better. It doesn't make you a "zombie". And it doesn't make you crazy happy go lucky. Not if you're on the correct dosage/type.
Bunny, Im so glad you made this video =) Im 22 and ive struggled with anxiety and moderately sever depression for over 9 years. Im still dealing with it and currently dealing with it hard again due to the tragic loss of a best friend who was murdered 2 days after thanksgiving..anyway, it takes a lot of courage to talk to the world about what youve delt with and deal with. I commend and look up to you in so many ways! Ive always loved your videos too =) Thanks for being so open and real, <3 Mer
Thank you soo much for sharing this!!! i have those similar anxiety attacks, too! i start to either have a stomach ache/want to throw up. For reals though, I can relate to alot of what your saying:D I dont have a webcam, but I do keep a diary to do the same thing and express myself. However, I really admire your confidence to be creative and make videos! Your awesome Bunny, keep it real :D <3
I've had very high anxiety for as long as I can remember. Even before primary school. I developed what I would call depression around nine. I didn't let anybody know. I kept it to myself, got good grades, and kept quiet. But that eats me up inside. And one day, I was about 10, I decided to take my mother's seam ripper and drag it across my thigh hard enough to break the skin and so I would bleed. I did this every day for 3 years. I was also aneroxic and beulmic. I struggle but havent cut a year.
I have crazy anxiety and there for i have OCD, depression and school avoidance :( but, i go to a therapeutic high school and it's a lot easier to go to school no. People get it there. and i think i get what you mean by "fizzy"....maybe.
this video was amazing and so true. with my bipolar disorder I'm suppose to be taking a high dose of mood stabilizers and I refuse to take them. i felt like an outsider looking in while I was on them so now I cope with DIY projects or work. I work retail in the mall so I throw myself into a project if I'm having one of my bad days. I always talk about it though. holding things in just intensified the problem. thank you for making this for those struggling for an answer.. I look forward to more
i totally understand the "x spot" , i have one of those. Its like my safe place. And if i cant go there the corpse bride is always what i turn to next.
Bunny, this may sound completely ridiculous, but being a subscriber to your channel really does make me feel cared about. I have just dealt with so many things you mentioned here and it's so nice to see that I'm not alone and that there is someone out there who isn't afraid to share what they're going through. Really, thank you for making your channel. Honestly, whenever I'm feeling a bit more depressed, your videos always do the trick and make me feel better. Just one of the ways I cope. <3
A think that works for me is aromatherapy but not with perfumes,with candles and oil burners or a little bowl with lavender near the bed. Another thing is make a little bag for your pillow blanket with relaxing herbs.
In my abnormal physiology class I learned that panic attacks last around 30 mins. Your routines make complete sense.

wow I go through those sames things, I was like that as a kid too. I can't remember a day where I didn't have that butterflies in the stomach feeling. I just didn't find out it was Anxiety until a year ago when I got sick with my gall bladder and I got REAL bad anxiety when they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I drove everyone nuts. It scared me because it was never that bad before but it literally felt like I was losing my mind. I still work on it every day. thanks :)

i have the same EXACT anxiety. when i was a 3rd grader i suffered from separation anxiety & the fear of vomiting. i would throw fits & beg my parents to let me stay home from school or any public events. the problem eventually faded away but returned in the 6th grade.instead i would drive myself mad in my own thoughts to the point where sleep was impossible. To cope with this i discovered that making lists helps me. Ex: my favorite movies ect. i thought id share & maybe it can help you guys!

I hate how sometimes i just randomly don't want to go to school, i don't want to do anything but sleep or being alone listening to music. It makes me feel bad that people around me don't understand me and they get mad at me cuz i don't want to do anything or my feelings are "weird" that day. Sometimes i will just push myself to do things. my depression, high stress levels make my anxiety really bad, but I'm coping(:

panic attacks are the worst. i never had one until about 4 years ago... and ever since they have never completely gone away. I fear that they never completely will but at least now I can control them. Before, I was powerless... and that feeling is unbearable for me. People that have never experience a panic attack cannot understand how terrifying it is.

I went through things sort of related to this. I have extreme hypochondria / anxiety, and sometimes it leads to bits of depression. I always freak out extremely about being sick, and becoming deathly ill due to a chronic illness or something like that. About three or four months ago I stopped going to school, I would get small pains and freak out so badly thinking I had some form of cancer or something like that, and then that would spiral into anxiety attacks. It's horrible, ♥ youuuuu

I've started having huge panic attacks. I was in school recently I had a massive attack that lasted at least forty minutes and I wasn't normal until three days later. My heart rate reached 175 at one point. I get really sick too. I've gotten myself help, on leave from my job, and dropped out of school. I'm now taking Ativan. I'm also getting off my birth control and going on a gluten free/juicing diet, because these might be causing it too and could help. I'm scared. And seriously depressed.

Any whoozles, my anxiety/depression comes from the same place that my obsession with ghosts comes from. My sister died when I was 11, and a month afterwards we moved 100 miles away (it was already planned before, we actually pushed it back after my sister died). Now, I have severe emetophobia and dermatilamania. The dermatilamania was/is (less and less every day) a coping mechanism. This is amazing advice. Thanks for doing this!!!

I can really relate to this. All the time, I'm anxious about school. I try and calm myself down by telling myself it's not a big deal. It usually gets worse when I stay at an unusual area overnight on a school night(like at a cousin's or my grandmother's). To fix it I do have a routine, which is riding around looking at nature or just sitting by family.

I really understand what it's like. My panic attacks started to be very very frequent when I moved from my family to study in other city. I was living alone, and whould just wake up in the middle of the night in panic, feeling sick, not feeling my arms. It was scary as hell, because i really thought I was going to die. What helped me is to call somebody and just talk while it went away. Thank God I had some friends whom I can call all the time. Breathing in a plastic bag quite hellped too.

Hi, thanks for a great video :)
I didn't read the comments but I think that's great advice and it is actually very similar to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). You or other viewers can read up on that online if you haven't heard much about it. I think it would be fun to see you talk about the cognitive part of it and the way it all connects ;) Thoughts-behavior-feelings, change something in one and it will have affect on the other ones :)

Lately I have been less panicky, which is great considering what I've dealt with. I'm a senior in high school, and when I was a freshman/sophmore I used to have those morning panic attacks. I'd wake up hyper ventilating, crying, and on the verge of being sick. This would be like 2-3 out of 5 days of school days. Now, I suffer from social anxiety. It's a never ending cycle, lol. I'm hoping when I go to college my panic attacks don't spike.

unless your have a real serius disorder. Then its most likely caused by some stressfactor in your life. Or some new realization that stresses you out since your worldview gotta change. The last one fixes itself in a few months if you take it easy and do familiar tasks. If it is the first one then removing yourself from the cause will begin to cure you. If you cant (economic stress) then meditating can make you more tolerant in time to stress. But it can only do so much to be honest.

You should make that Vlog about the car accidentQ And it's so nice to find someone who has similar problems. I have a "fear" or throwing up, and if the slightest sick feeling comes across me I pop a gravol. And whenever I'm in a room I try to make sure I'm close to an exit (That kind of has to do with claustrophobia too.). But I also have anxiety brought on by legit health problems that I have that can't be fixed. And like you, I'm not on any meds either, even though they were prescribed.

Anxiety medication doesnt change your personality, i was on alot of stuff for my social anxiety and it doesnt do much but more or just slows down the heart rate so it relaxes you a little more thats. medication for anxiety is more or less treating the physical symptoms not the mental parts. i have Bipolar and the medication for that yes that will change who you are because its to stabilize your mood changes.

i was diagnosed with depression about 3 months ago, but for the past 2 years i have missed so much school and slept all day.when i started getting better i stopped taking my tablets, and now it's getting worse and i'm starting to stay away from school again. i don't like being around people, i feel singled out. when i do go to school i go sit with one of my friends who also has depression but her depression isn't as bad. You're a really big inspiration bunny and im glad i found your youtube <3

Oh god how I get you. Especially about medical issues. I'm super freaked out right now because I have to go for exploratory surgery and my biggest fear ever is blood clots. I was almost over the fear when a friend of mine (who was 23 at the time) died from one after two massive back surgeries. So the revolving panic is crazy. I get the "Numb" panic in my face and fingers. I also get it as "leg pain" which makes me want to cry.

@Karaisoke my prayers are with you! i'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. i totally understand how scary medical stuff is, but i'm sure you will get through and recover nicely. :)

A couple years ago my mom went through her second divorce and in the same week my then-bf left me. it was really tough. i found that a lot of the things you said were how i dealt with it then, along with music. some songs just really connected with me because the message was so similar to what i felt and it was reassuring to know that i wasnt the only one having a hard time.

I suffer from really bad social anxiety, so when I started making youtube videos instead of just having an account to watch them, it helped to distract me from the anxiety. I'm definitely no pro or anything in anything I post, but I like using it to talk to other people and learn new stuff.

@grav3yardgirl to me not really, but with some of the more popular gurus, you would think so.... youtube is all about fun to me.... and sometimes I have wanted to quit because of some of the trolls I have gotten!

Also, I wouldn't refer to it as high anxiety because all I think about is the Mel Brooks film. Its not a very technical term :/

@Pooq45 I dont know that film, the term is technically chronic anxiety. But its her thing, let her call it what ever she likes. If thats high anxiety then let that be so.

It's a myth that medication changes your personality. Unless they were prescribing a heavy duty MAOI (which is usually tried after SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants have been tried out) there would be no negative personality change, rather a much more likely chance that it would change your personality for the better. It doesn't make you a "zombie". And it doesn't make you crazy happy go lucky. Not if you're on the correct dosage/type.

Thank you soo much for sharing this!!! i have those similar anxiety attacks, too! i start to either have a stomach ache/want to throw up. For reals though, I can relate to alot of what your saying:D I dont have a webcam, but I do keep a diary to do the same thing and express myself. However, I really admire your confidence to be creative and make videos! Your awesome Bunny, keep it real :D <3

I've had very high anxiety for as long as I can remember. Even before primary school. I developed what I would call depression around nine. I didn't let anybody know. I kept it to myself, got good grades, and kept quiet. But that eats me up inside. And one day, I was about 10, I decided to take my mother's seam ripper and drag it across my thigh hard enough to break the skin and so I would bleed. I did this every day for 3 years. I was also aneroxic and beulmic. I struggle but havent cut a year.

this video was amazing and so true. with my bipolar disorder I'm suppose to be taking a high dose of mood stabilizers and I refuse to take them. i felt like an outsider looking in while I was on them so now I cope with DIY projects or work. I work retail in the mall so I throw myself into a project if I'm having one of my bad days. I always talk about it though. holding things in just intensified the problem. thank you for making this for those struggling for an answer.. I look forward to more

Bunny, this may sound completely ridiculous, but being a subscriber to your channel really does make me feel cared about. I have just dealt with so many things you mentioned here and it's so nice to see that I'm not alone and that there is someone out there who isn't afraid to share what they're going through. Really, thank you for making your channel. Honestly, whenever I'm feeling a bit more depressed, your videos always do the trick and make me feel better. Just one of the ways I cope. <3

i think drug use has given me high anxiety..

A think that works for me is aromatherapy but not with perfumes,with candles and oil burners or a little bowl with lavender near the bed. Another thing is make a little bag for your pillow blanket with relaxing herbs.
