@joeytaylor21 The best way to stop anxiety attacks, or at least ride them out better, is to simply not get upset with yourself whenever they occur. DON'T EVER get angry about it, or be afraid of having panic attacks. That level of anxiety only gets reinforced by a person's fear of experiencing it. If anyone else notices that you're in distress during an attack, just try to breathe deeply and smoothly, while kind of laughing it off as no big deal. DON'T HATE YOURSELF FOR HAVING TO GO THROUGH IT.
Everyday is like this now. I have not been diagnosed with anything, but I haven't seen many doctors yet. I go on hunger strikes, and I have gone without eating for days at a time. I am worried that I will end up killing myself. I have held knives to my stomach. I am afraid to tell anybody. The will end up locking me up in a mental fecility. my parents think I am just lying for attention. And I'm scared.
im a 15 year old boy that has just recently getting anixety attacks. It started last weekend (feburary 25th 2012). i had my 1st anixety attack at my 1st valenines dance with my girlfreind and i had to leave. my hands were sweaty, i couldnt breath correct, i could not stop thinking, i even had a flashback. i had my second anxiety attack today at my lunch time. i felt like i was worthless and i wanted to hurt myself or even somone else. is there a way i can stop :(
I am 15 and just last year I started having panic attacks. It was so strange to me. It is hard to explain, but I start breathing heavy and one time I bust into tears. I didn't even know why! It is scary because I have no control over what I am doing. I feel like the walls are closing in I get really hot and I start shaking. I stutter really bad when I have panic attacks. I tell myself to stop, but I can't do it! It is hard to have these kinds of disorders, but I know I can get through it :D
I have not left my house in 6 months, i dropped out of College due to my anxiety, I hate it, nothing helps... and I am to afraid to tell my mom because she thinks i do it for attention..
Thank you always for your infinit hope & help. I have been suffering anxiety attacks since last summer and I believed It was the end of my life and God had forgotten me. I believed I was losing my wife & two little doughters. But God always heals and there is hope now as you say with correct medication. Seroxat is my new friend. God bless you always & forever. You are a precious wonder & hero. God must be very proud of you. Keep shining. Your friend from La Rioja. Spain.
@musicalartfreak Your artistic creativity means that you have a high-powered mind, which is mostly a blessing, but also kind of a curse. You are very aware of what is beautiful in this world, and then too aware of the various things that can go wrong, especially on a personal level. The best way to control anxious thoughts is to simply let them drift out of your mind as easily as they drift in. DO NOT FOCUS ON FRIGHTENING THOUGHTS, because you are already aware that all things can be dealt with.
I have anxiety, and this happens all the time, I feel sick all the time, mentally, physically emotionally and more. I've had it since I was 11...Its getting worse and I'm 20 now....But you helped me tonight, this is the first time my anxiety has kept me up all night, thanks for this video especially tonight...
get on the right meds and don't abuse them...also keep yourself busy with work..and a hobby..see a professional psychiatrist who is also an endochronologist.. not chep but worth every cent..
i have been suffering since a little boy, i'm 60 now and still deal with it but look at me..i made it this far and you will too. good luck to all of you . you are in my thoughts.
Panic attacks, loss of appetite, the feeling of living life outside your body,the feeling of living in a dream, continuous negative thoughts, troubling and obsessive thoughts, excessive stress and worry, trouble sleeping. You are not alone. There are many others who have these experiences. I USE TO, but NO longer have them. I found what worked. I am NOT SELLING anything, I just want to share the process that freed me of anxiety. Please watch my intro. video for more info! Thanks, Stay positive!
JulieLovesOTH thx i have suffered with Generalized Anxiety Disorder i have just called my doctors as i have suffered with it for over a year and its getting to the point i cant leave my house
Really like the video:-) knowing someone cares, and that you aren't the only one this has happened to, seems to be one of the best natural cures....Thank you!
I have recently seen a doctor and was told I am suffering with Generalized anxiety disorder. Its been terrible month or so, but known their is others out there and watching your video has enable me to feel hope that I can over come this. :)
I have gone to a therapist and they tell me there is a long waiting list to be seen.I have not heard from them in four weeks and i have to look else where.
I have had severe G.A.D. scince I was in third grade. I 'm afraid of storms and tornadoes and clouds....and everything. I hate leaving my house and going places. I'm on several medications that don't even work. I have to leave school because of panic attacks often. G.A.D. effects me, my friends, and my family. I really wish I never had it, but G.A.D. has tought me how to be strong. And I know i'm not alone. I'm so sorry for anyone else who has G.A.D. , just stay strong and be brave.
thanks so much for sharing, i'm thinking about seeing someone for this problem, i really do want medication, i just need to find someone who will give me something and something that will work, i suffer from daily migraines due to getting nervous and stressed. the best to you and other who suffer like this.,
To overcome or at least manage chronic severe anxiety, and it IS possible (I've talked to a number of people who have), one must open their mind to unconventional treatments. And they don't necessarily have to cost ANY money at all. Example: Acupressure. You don't even have to believe in it for it to work...not that it's guaranteed to work, but let me tell you that the reality we think we live in is profoundly deceptive and there is so much more we can't see, but can still utilize! Be curious.
@corgiluver26 ....about you, and of how you feel about yourself. Here's what ends it. STOP HATING YOURSELF FOR FEELING AFRAID ABOUT ANYTHING YOU DO IN PUBLIC. Go ahead and shake your way through it. Anyone else's reaction to it is OK, because you WON'T REALLY CARE what it may look like to them. Shaking is just shaking. ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE WILLING TO FEEL THAT FEAR EVERY TIME, and that's how you will automatically start to improve with this condition. Remember to stop hating yourself in any way.
@corgiluver26 It's good that you're trying to understand this condition that you have. I have had it for most of my life, but mostly defeated it in recent years. I've even read some psychology textbooks about it.
What you're describing is not a full-fledged panic attack, but an anxiety neurosis. You are very likely what is known as a "highly sensitive person," someone who is introspective and artistic. The trouble is, you care a little TOO MUCH about what other people may or may not be thinking
Every time I have to do something where I'm by myself and have to talk, hold something up, or play my instrument, I start shaking. And people like 5 seats away from me have noticed it- they asked me why I was shaking. My head, shoulders, hands and knees shake. It's stupid because I get nervous about getting nervous & shaking so that automatically makes me shake. I can't write stuff on paper for someone without shaking. And I am worried about stuff a lot.
@MrPeace137 I have been through all of that myself, and thought that I would be in the prison of anxiety forever, too. But I learned how to break free. Whenever you start to feel bad anxiety or a panic attack starting, just LET IT HAPPEN and DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF ABOUT IT. Stop hating yourself for the way you feel, and for having this problem. It's not your fault. No matter what your panic attack looks like to other people, just let yourself go through it every time. Keep trying with it.
I am having panic attack and anxiety since 2007 it is exactly what you are saying never stop thinking for the worst that is burn my life already it was first my panic attack in 2007 that destroyed , I was one of the best student now I am like in forever prison .
@chrisnab100 You do have a life, and it is not being wasted. Many people have serious medical / psychological problems that they have to deal with for their entire lives. Just try to look at it as something that you can always improve on, and you will see progress. You have already proven that you have a lot to give, by the nice response that you wrote to SuuCakes.
@stinorde96 Please write more about your anxiety problem here, if you feel that you need advice, or that relating your story to others would be helpful to them.
@JulieLovesOTH This is a very important video that you have posted here, for the "shadow club" that we with GAD all seem to belong to. I have had to deal with this for decades, but have now brought it fairly well under control by using my own willpower, instead of medication or professional therapy. With your permission, I would like to write some responses to help the people here, in addition to anything that you may write. Trust me that I am an expert on this subject in my own particular way.
@Cheekybarber You are right to pray to God to help you with your mental and physical ordeal. I have been through Generalized Anxiety Disorder myself, but to a lesser extent than what you seem to be going through. There is no shame on anyone to seek a Higher Power to help them with a severe problem. For anyone who is just not religious or even atheist, use any kind of meditation to soothe your mind, in addition to the other methods you may be using to deal with this problem.
@extracheeseontop I read your post here from a few weeks ago. May I suggest that you practice martial-arts moves to help you conquer this fear. It won't cost you anything, and you can do it in complete privacy. The most basic move is to stand with your feet apart, and throw air punches forward, left punch, right punch, over and over. You will be learning some defense, and getting exercise besides. Try it, you just might like it. This will give you more confidence that you can handle any crisis.

Unfortunately therapy and medication do not always keep this disorder at bay, and if they do, most of the time they are temporary solutions to a perpetual problem. I myself have anxiety, and personally I have not had much success with meds or therapy. My psyche seems to require a more effective remedy. Thus if one (most people watching this video) cannot defeat anxiety with traditional means, they should resort to a new approach. (transcendence of fear)
If Dr's don't know what trigers nerve and heart trama that leads to mental shock and corrupts our mental thoughts to the brain then why are they diagnosing people with depression, who gave them the right??????
Sorry I will not use anxiety because I find that word lacks what we go thru day to day!!
3) start beleiving exactly that then your your body goes in depresion shock with all sorts of trama symptoms and you have no other choice you are now left to fend for yourself.
But now that it's been 14 years for me they can shove it up their a** because they need to start talking! I don't beleive one bit of their useless answers..But if your DR told you like they told the rest of the world for Anxiety.......THEY DON"T know what trigers it...so take that as ...I told you BS that your stressed!
2) When you new to anxiety you get to really beleive that you are stressed out but you have not yet taken consideration on why you are stressed out...that only comes years later when you start saying enough is enough then your research leads to all sorts of things that cause this exact reaction to the nerves....The way I see it now..Your body goes thru some type of toxic trama, trigers your nerves, trigers your brain to feel that you are going crazy and when a DR says you are stressed you..
At times I think this thing that Dr's call Anxiety is horse sh**. I don't beleive in 2012 that people are still having social anxiety etc...we have all sorts of things to realease the sress..
We talk about it over the internet, friends, family, we are not hidding behind the blinds like back in the day. And when you tell your Dr that your not stressed out he tells you " Just aswking me you look stressed" BS! If there wasn't anxiety in the air how much money would loose on pills...
Can dreams affect anxiety? I liv a good life and don't worry much..but my dream are sometimes mental??? It seems when I do have these dreams I have a very bad day with body anxiety and mental stress??
Question for all of you...I had anxiety for about 14 years now..I went thru many many different symptoms... for the past 5 years the anxiety has changed form. It's no longer heart papiltation or panic..It's more body anxiety and pain and like head anxiety. has anybody went thru this or is?
@Rob2977 Yes, I have...my experiences with anxiety run the gamut, from rapid heartbeat, racing thoughts, chest pain, lightheadedness, extreme trembling, epic doom, derealization, headaches, sweating, etc...for me, all it takes is a little bit of pressure or stress, and bam, it hits me...it really sucks, because it's debilitating, I lost my job over anxiety issues...my best way of dealing with it, is to have a few beers before leaving the house to calm my nerves...
@GemCan78 I went thru all that at the early stages of anxiety and panic..once I was able get the papiltations under control that's when it took on a different way to do it. and this one I can't control...My left arm get's kinda drowsy feeling then my throat feels swollen but is not at all..once that appears my hand starts shacking al little..then I actually feel my nerves go skyrock..the hole thing feels like I'm going up a rollercoaster and coming down.that would be the exact feeling.
@GemCan78 2) Also I noticed that my sugar level is giving a bad response..the norm is 4.5 to 5.5..not sure but anyway..when I do get anxiety I eat..and goes away..
but not all the time..I know that anxiety / Hypoglicimia have the same reactions..but my sugar says NORM...so ..this is driving my crazy..I've done alot of research on this and it could be thousands of things that cause these symptoms...BUT I have a hunch on MILD CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING..we all had a taste of it.
i have this, i am a super over achiever who totally had a life meltdown...and now i cant control this anymore....i'm afraid of calling people or bad news..i mean terrified...and people tell me i'm the bravest person they ever met. i have 1&10 level of confrontation and almost nothing in between......it's madness and i know it....i have just cut off decade old friend because of a bad talk and ive done it many times needless to say i have no friends anymore,kinda like living in solitary....
@dekonfrost7 i feel you man i used to do stupid thigs and peopel would be like that dude would do all these crazy things before why not now i used to talk to strangers and now is sit alone avoiding old friends anyone to avoid getting edgy i started my second semmester and i got a fever and started panicking and i told my friend infront but i was so lightheaded it just seemed like he was ignoring me just staring at me i thought i was dying i raised my hand told the teacher im very dizzy
@dekonfrost7 then the security came and did nothing but say do you need an amublance i said no and he said thats all i can offer you and then he said he could take me to the cafe and class was over my dad helped me out of the class he had to come in and after that it just made it worse dont now they want me to try zoloft but im hesitant since everyone is so negative and i know if i am too i will experience negative effects but yeah hope you get help too its hard but we have to try to moveon frwd
i have tried to think it right, i failed! i have tried to believe its just a quirk or flaw in my personality, i am wrong! i tried to rest but i became restless, i tried to relax and stressed that i couldnt, i wished for death and was given a painful reminder of the value of life i feared madness and got told that is sanity talking, i fear life and all it has to offer yet i must keep fighting or i worry i will not live, yet while i fight the good fight i lose the life i have to a fear of living
Juliet, thanks so much for this. I think I might have GAD but I'm not sure. I think I worry about everything. I worry about not getting a good career, not completing things, becoming mad, being too lost to be normal. At the moment I'm worrying about killing people because I watched a terrible video. I go to therapy now which is a great help. I think it's because I was very conditionally loved by emotionally unavailable parents. A lovely video :) Thank you. And you seem very lovely too.
@TheNadakan , congrats to you for seeking help. I'm sorry your parents weren't there for you, but life isn't over!! Remember, your worries are like ghosts...they are scary as crap, but really can't hurt you.
Hey Guys, Ive suffered GAD (general anxiety disorder) for over 12months. I took a gamble and tried Hypnotherapy (through a specialist), Mainly because I was at the end of my rope feeling like i did. Hypnosis CHANGED MY LIFE!!
I say give it a go, I wish I hadn't hesitated for sooooo long:)
I've always had anxiety/panic attacks. But the past 4 months it's gotten worse than it's EVER been. Waking up with anxiety, going to bed with anxiety. Worrying about nothing.. basically making myself ill.
I stopped eating because I had a choking sensation and thought i would choke on my food... it's be hell and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
@xxTheDoorsFanxx, I know how you feel. Sleep couldn't even give me a break, because I would dream about my anxiety!! If I managed not to dream of it, it was right there when I woke up, waiting to spring on me the second I opened my eyes. I thought I was going to die from going insane, but I made it through. You can too. Seek help!!!!
Thank you for posting this. I really desperately needed to know that I'm not alone with this disorder. Every day I fear that someone might just break into my house and rape me. I have never in my life be this afraid of being in my own home. I cry every night out of fear that someone might just break in and enter. My mom thinks I'm being paranoid, which is why she does not think I need help. But after watching this I think I might just try and reach out for help. So I thank you again,for this vid
i have this problem. and its very hard for me to deal with it. i just feel that i cant deal with this anymore. i worry all the time for things people constantly telling me that i look depressed and sad. but then sometimes i'm happy. and some days i feel that i cant even do nothing. i cry and i just cant handle the situation. even when i go to the grocery store. i get very uncofortable. i went to seek for help a while ago but i couldnt pay for the treatment i've thought to just get it over with
@mrchrmedone , Please talk to your doctor, or do some research online to find ways to receive mental health help while under critical financial situations. THERE IS HOPE!
@mrchrmedone Hey Guys, Ive suffered GAD (general anxiety disorder) for over 12months. I took a gamble and tried Hypnotherapy (through a specialist), Mainly because I was at the end of my rope feeling like i did. Hypnosis CHANGED MY LIFE!!
I say give it a go, I wish I hadn't hesitated for sooooo long:)
Sometimes nothing causes it, but lately some things trigger it. Stupid stuff, but it still happens. Medication made me worse, I used different ones. They messed me up even worse. I take nothing for it now, exept GABA which is an amino acid. I use GABA tone because it absorbs better into the blood brain barrier. It works sometimes and sometimes not. My only way for help is God. I pray pray pray and talk to God for a long time and it soothes me.
The anxiety I experience is a full blown mega panic attack that will last for hours, days, sometimes even weeks. I would rather be dead than to experience it. I do have a thyroid condition, actually an autoimmune disease called Hashimotos thyroiditis. My body slowly attacks and kills my thyroid, and my hormones are a little off throughout the month. But it affects my mind! Can't think straight, I shake. Strange thought patterns. But the worst is the paralyzing fear and sheer terror I feel.
I know there are so many things I can do in life, but when anxiety kicks in, I can't accomplish anything. I worry so often about things that it always feels my mind is clenched. If I do something minor that bothers me, it doesn't leave my mind, and as I think about it, my stomach clenches, I get light-headed, and I can't sleep. Thanks for posting this video...I think I will talk to someone.
I think I may have a solution for anyone suffering from anxiety. If not a solution, at least some good advice. Feel free to reply if anyone needs help.
After that, it was like a chain reaction, it all goes away the same way it began, symptom by symptom, it's great, and you will live that too. Sorry to keep on rambling but it was a big stage in my life and I am kinda thankful for the condition I was in. It only made me stronger. Now, when everyone is afraid, I can honestly say I've lived through worse, and I never get nervous about anything anymore. You are the only one who can get you out of this, so stop looking for answers that are not there.
And lastly, I had a thought that completely changed everything for me. I realized I am a human being, and human beings are not designed to sit in their room everyday suffering panic attacks and being afraid of everything. So I told myself I would rather die of a panic attack right now than to be a useless human for the rest of my life who can't even go to the store on his own. After I thought about I started taking more risks and not caring about my heart racing, or shallow breathing or thoughts
You can be 100% you again, don't listen to the people who said they've tried everything but nothing worked.. that's just their anxiety speaking. It's a worthless condition that makes you believe there's no hope. Trust me you are the only one who can beat it, because you are the only one who's causing it. I am telling you this because i wish someone would've told me this sooner. All those horrible thoughts about death you're having will go away when you get rid of the anxiety.
It was horrible, I pretty much became depressed just because I had to deal with that every day, I couldn't even drink juice or anything with sugar or fat because I thought I would have a heart attack, I lost weight, and was pretty weak because I wasn't eating right. I was hospitalized 3 times because I seriously thought I was dying. Going anywhere was a pain, I would rather stay home. So yeah i had it bad, but guess what? You can beat it, without pills or therapy. You are the only one who can.
I'm going to post this because it's what I needed to hear when i had panic attacks. Let me tell you I had it bad, I thought I had cancer, heart disease, i thought i was dying all the time, I couldn't breathe, i didn't want to go to sleep at night because I thought I would choke in my sleep and die, or something would happen when i was sleeping (airplane would fall, carbon monoxide, etc) I'm not one of those people who said they have panic attacks when they barely felt what true anxiety is like.
I notice when I was in the 10th grade that I would start to shake in the cafeteria when I would try to eat something. I would try to put a spoon up to my mouth and before it reaches, there's nothing left. I also went to my campus bookstore today to pick up a snack. I wasn't nervous but I shook as I gave my money to the cashier and when she held her hand out to give me a receipt, I had to let her drop it because I couldn't bear to reach any further. Could this be GAD?
I was just diagonosed with anxiety disorder at age 13 and have been started on meds to help and I'm taking therapy. My family has been very supportive because my mom also has anxiety. But my best friend is not helping she also has anxiety but not as severe as me she is actually part of my stress does anyone have any ways to help.
@revisedtara , I had a link to a site that might be able to help you, but Youtube won't let me post it for some reason. It's at nmha.org and just go to "Find therapy". You can easily just search on Google for "how to get mental health care without insurance". Many options pop up!!!
Going through an episode right now, broken out in cold sweats, jittery, twitchy, what have you and my heart is racing a mile a minute... Good to know that I'm not the only one who has to suffer through this hideous disorder. Still haven't been able to control them and I've been having them for about three years now, and it feels like I'll never know another good night of rest again. At twenty four years old I have bags under my eyes from night after night of restlessness. Please help!
Thank YOu!. Sometimes I feel so alone with my huge panic disorder. What I am finding is that so many people suffer from this most horrible thing. I have had it for 9 years!!! I call it the invisable monster. Thank You for sharing. It helps very much.
@xSniiPa When you get panic attacks, dont fight them or try to to run away from them. As soon as they enter, do not try and concentrate on something else or think about something else, as it will only make it worse. The only way to stop it is to feel the fear for what its worth and let it happen, LET IT HAPPEN. It's like standing at the edge of a cliff, but you have a fear of what will happen if you jump, but the only way to beat that fear is to take it head on. I promise you this will help.
Just want to ask what the medication is that you're taking? I believe I have a panic disorder though I don't believe I used to. I've started having anxiety attacks about a week ago and crying at random times of the day which is unusual for me. I've been having 2-3 panic attacks every night now because I believe something evil is going to kill me and I never had this happen before. I told my mom the other night that I belive I'm going crazy. I am phoning my doctor tomorrow.

Would you mind if I used your video for a project I'm doing on Anxiety Disorder for my Mental Health class? I'm a 2nd year college student going for Social Service Worker and your video could really help my project come together.
Thanks for sharing! We are with many and there really is a way out. NEVER FORGET! I have felt things that no one should ever feel.. like many of you i think.. but we will all get better and enjoy our lives again one day!
I have the same problem. I have been going through this for years! It really bites, Im 31 years old (female) and I cant even work bc of this bc I get so anxious when Im out in public and I get scared when having to speak to other ppl. I used not be like this and be very outgoing and a ppl person but now I am in a shell and I can never finish what I start. I have been wanting to paint my daughters room but I just never do and my organizational skills suck! I hate feeling like this. Help!
I love this video.but everytime i try to think that im not alone...i just cry even more because it feels like i am.and everytime someone says "just think to yourself that your not alone" it doesnt help.because i feel like im in despair.my crying just never stops when my anxiety is bad...i cant even put all my words on this because my life sucks and i jsut cant deal with it anymore... :'( help me...
i never dealt with my problems and traumas now i have this shit i always feel anxious about my health and money and finding love i feel sometimes i want to die
"Generalized Anxietyu Disorder" is a sympton of the REAL problem - psychological wounds from early-childhood trauma. See this article by a veteran family and trauma-recovery therapist:
and people anyone who is suffering see my page and ask me ? talk to me, ext because i would like to help people and threw that it helps me. i am 22 with sever anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
thank you. i completely agree. i just started a blog to try to help both myself by talking it out and others by seeing its not normal but an all american 22 year old is not a uncommon and people are out there like you. its just so good to hear from people who feel how your do it is not easy to realize to people unless they have the same problems or have gone threw it. and thank you for saying that it wil get better and there is hope because i am not better yet but working hard to get there.
I BEEN DEPRESSED FOR LIKE 10 YRS AND IM SCARED TO GO GET MEDS CUZ I KNOW THAT AFTER A WHILE U MUST KEEP INCREASING DOSAGES BECAUSE YOU GET USED TO IT AND NEED MORE TILL THE POINT WHERE IT WONT WORK ANYMORE AND THEN YOU REALLY WILL BE SCREWED UP.. WHAT DO YOU THINK ??? BY THE WAY YOURE TOO PRETTY TO BE ALL SAD MAMI... =)
Hello, I am 19-years-old. I thought I was hopeless when I got my first panic attack, I believed everything was over, the psycologyst didn't help me to much... I was hopeless... it just does not stop anytime, it's constant and dreadfully tormenting. I finally decided to look for help, first from my friends, then my parents, and then a phyquiatrist. I got into medication and has worked well, there is hope, you are not alone... I thought I was, but now I see my future way better :) still fighting
i love watching videos like this because its sad when your own parents don't understand you and what you're going through. My anxiety is ruining my life.
I suffer from OCD and it does make your life a living hell....horrid thoughts followed by heat rushes and makes me angry and upset... thirst of all me comin to see someone on youtube with the same problzms helped me to understand that us people suffering from anxiety disorders... we all have one goal and that is to get threw it, but if people like you didnt do videos like this. . .I dnt think I would ever had been reasured.... thank you so much
exercise helps! it releases endorphins and clams the autonomic nervous system that causes the panic.anxiety. I had post traumatic anxiety disorder n suffered many years....tingling numbing of hands, tightness in throat, cant breathe, feeling im going to go nuts n scream for no reason, dry mouth, sweaty palms, cold n hot chills, shakes, every sound n sight is magnified ....its brutal. decrease sugar, increase veggies, exercise, yoga, and MULTIVITAMINs!
i tried to get help,recently a doctor told me ive been tried on every non-narcotic medication available. none have been able to help me, the best that happened was i got so numb i dont care anymore or i plunged into the deepest depression and everything went blank. now im not on medication and i can function just barely enough to hold a job down but i get lost in imagined scenarios all day. i go from obsession to nihilism and cant make the simplest decisions without freaking out. anyone else?
@euthanasiaplease You need to see a psychiatrist, not a doctor. It's impossibly to have tried every medication since there are hundreds of hundreds out there. You just have to keep trying, you can't give up on therapy or medication.
@GloriousBrilliance I've never met a single person the meds helped. They either make things worse, or turned the person into a zombie until they caused some other health issue.
@angelhatesyou75217 Sorry to hear that for you. They helped my mom enormously. I went from being raised by a crazy (remember I was little so I didn't have another word) woman to being raised by a generally stable woman. It made a huge difference for me and my brothers. She went through over a dozen meds before they found a combination that worked for her but eventually they did. She still has symptoms, but nowhere near as bad as when I was little.
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy....to may things on my head....can't control them.... its like a routine now... everyday is the same.... I can't concentrate on school...I can't even play the piano which is something I love.... I just feel really extremely tired and don't feel motivated to do anything....
@KRATELUS I've been there, I play piano too and the same thing happened to me, I felt like anxiety took something away from me that I loved. It will get better though as you understand more about it and accept your anxiety without fighting it.
I can tell you this blog and book helped me the most so maybe it'll help you. This guy suffered for 10 years with panic attacks and the whole mess that anxiety brings and recovered from it. anxietynomore.co.uk
I really need help.....its killing....I can't control any of my thoughts and start thinking about things I shouldn't even be thinking....its just my mind making those things up... :( I have a girlfriend which I love...a lot!!! But my mind constantly keeps giving me thoughts about leaving her....that I won't be able to be with her for the rest of my life.....and a lot more.... whenever she doesn't answer the phone or she doesn't reply to 1 of messages...my mind starts to imagine the worst things.
i suffer the same, but is usually in the mornings when i wake up thinking "ughh another day"..Sometimes when i'm going into a pubic place, i go to the restroom and stay there for minutes getting worry and my heart beat starts pumping faster and i don't even know what for. On top of that, i also suffer from depression, which is worst. The thing is that i don't let it out...i'm very close person, i don't open to anyone.
i,ve been suffering with anxiety for years, and i want to know if anyone that suffers with this, if you have a problem with trying to visualise things in your mind especially peoples faces. and if you have a problem with your inner voice, cause i can be saying a sentence in my head and my innervoice stops halfway through sentence. it seems like it takes ages to say something in my head. so does anyone have these symptons. i would like to hear from you please
i get physical anxiety symptoms like when i have a job interview or doctors appointment the next week the whole week before i will have it and be in the bathroom for a long time and i get it even when i dont go anywhere any ideas to help out
i just turn 17, & i have Baad Anxiety. it all happend bcus i fainted once in church, & ive been traumatized ever sence that day. i expierence everything u say in your video. i always think something bad is going to happend to me, i feel like i'm going to faint infront of everyone and perhaps die. In school is the worst; i can NEVER stay focuss bcus i feel like something is gonna happend. i Wake up EVERY morning with the Anxient Feeling in my stomach. Anxiety is not something you can wish away.
I've had GAD since as long as I can remember, It su**s alot, I have no self asteem, and I can't ever do anything I want to do... Its been getting worse over the years and I haven't found anything that can really control it for me..
@Kinuoxx I have GAD but I wanna give you an advice try to go to a profesional and tell them ur problem and she or he will give u something to calm u down. I was prescrived LEXAPRO 20mg and it help me alot to the poin that now I can be around people ,be with my fam , and made friends and now I no longer like to be alone.. before I was very sad cuz I coulnt even look at people in their face and always avoid social ocations and it ws very painfull.
i first experienced my first anxiety attack a bout a week ago and it was horrible. ever since then i have been having all these horrible symptoms like a head ache or foggy ming that makes it feel like you are in a dream kinda and not really in real life. I get cold and hot flashes. i feel numbness in my arms and legs. i also loose my appetite and have been loosing weight. i also have short attention span and its hard for me to remember things. i jusy hope i can overcome this soon.
can someone put it in it component of what were pyschically and pycholically so we can see how are mind is trying to fool us? because if you dont know you are doing to repeat same treble feeling over and over.
where are you standing on the subject of reducing anxiety by simply embracing it, accepting that it's there and just telling yourself that "I can live with it."
I have tried this self help treatment for about 2 weeks now and I must say that I'm experiencing improvement unlike anything else Ive tried. I feel like a lot of my anxiety comes from the fear of anxiety itself. Like if I'm in a situation where i usually get a lot of anxiety i simply expect it to come...

@joeytaylor21 The best way to stop anxiety attacks, or at least ride them out better, is to simply not get upset with yourself whenever they occur. DON'T EVER get angry about it, or be afraid of having panic attacks. That level of anxiety only gets reinforced by a person's fear of experiencing it. If anyone else notices that you're in distress during an attack, just try to breathe deeply and smoothly, while kind of laughing it off as no big deal. DON'T HATE YOURSELF FOR HAVING TO GO THROUGH IT.

I am 15 and just last year I started having panic attacks. It was so strange to me. It is hard to explain, but I start breathing heavy and one time I bust into tears. I didn't even know why! It is scary because I have no control over what I am doing. I feel like the walls are closing in I get really hot and I start shaking. I stutter really bad when I have panic attacks. I tell myself to stop, but I can't do it! It is hard to have these kinds of disorders, but I know I can get through it :D

@musicalartfreak Your artistic creativity means that you have a high-powered mind, which is mostly a blessing, but also kind of a curse. You are very aware of what is beautiful in this world, and then too aware of the various things that can go wrong, especially on a personal level. The best way to control anxious thoughts is to simply let them drift out of your mind as easily as they drift in. DO NOT FOCUS ON FRIGHTENING THOUGHTS, because you are already aware that all things can be dealt with.

I have had severe G.A.D. scince I was in third grade. I 'm afraid of storms and tornadoes and clouds....and everything. I hate leaving my house and going places. I'm on several medications that don't even work. I have to leave school because of panic attacks often. G.A.D. effects me, my friends, and my family. I really wish I never had it, but G.A.D. has tought me how to be strong. And I know i'm not alone. I'm so sorry for anyone else who has G.A.D. , just stay strong and be brave.

To overcome or at least manage chronic severe anxiety, and it IS possible (I've talked to a number of people who have), one must open their mind to unconventional treatments. And they don't necessarily have to cost ANY money at all. Example: Acupressure. You don't even have to believe in it for it to work...not that it's guaranteed to work, but let me tell you that the reality we think we live in is profoundly deceptive and there is so much more we can't see, but can still utilize! Be curious.

@corgiluver26 ....about you, and of how you feel about yourself. Here's what ends it. STOP HATING YOURSELF FOR FEELING AFRAID ABOUT ANYTHING YOU DO IN PUBLIC. Go ahead and shake your way through it. Anyone else's reaction to it is OK, because you WON'T REALLY CARE what it may look like to them. Shaking is just shaking. ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE WILLING TO FEEL THAT FEAR EVERY TIME, and that's how you will automatically start to improve with this condition. Remember to stop hating yourself in any way.

@corgiluver26 It's good that you're trying to understand this condition that you have. I have had it for most of my life, but mostly defeated it in recent years. I've even read some psychology textbooks about it.
What you're describing is not a full-fledged panic attack, but an anxiety neurosis. You are very likely what is known as a "highly sensitive person," someone who is introspective and artistic. The trouble is, you care a little TOO MUCH about what other people may or may not be thinking

What exactly is a panic attack?
Every time I have to do something where I'm by myself and have to talk, hold something up, or play my instrument, I start shaking. And people like 5 seats away from me have noticed it- they asked me why I was shaking. My head, shoulders, hands and knees shake. It's stupid because I get nervous about getting nervous & shaking so that automatically makes me shake. I can't write stuff on paper for someone without shaking. And I am worried about stuff a lot.

@MrPeace137 I have been through all of that myself, and thought that I would be in the prison of anxiety forever, too. But I learned how to break free. Whenever you start to feel bad anxiety or a panic attack starting, just LET IT HAPPEN and DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF ABOUT IT. Stop hating yourself for the way you feel, and for having this problem. It's not your fault. No matter what your panic attack looks like to other people, just let yourself go through it every time. Keep trying with it.

@Cheekybarber You are right to pray to God to help you with your mental and physical ordeal.

@extracheeseontop I read your post here from a few weeks ago. May I suggest that you practice martial-arts moves to help you conquer this fear. It won't cost you anything, and you can do it in complete privacy. The most basic move is to stand with your feet apart, and throw air punches forward, left punch, right punch, over and over. You will be learning some defense, and getting exercise besides. Try it, you just might like it. This will give you more confidence that you can handle any crisis.

Unfortunately therapy and medication do not always keep this disorder at bay, and if they do, most of the time they are temporary solutions to a perpetual problem. I myself have anxiety, and personally I have not had much success with meds or therapy. My psyche seems to require a more effective remedy. Thus if one (most people watching this video) cannot defeat anxiety with traditional means, they should resort to a new approach. (transcendence of fear)

3) start beleiving exactly that then your your body goes in depresion shock with all sorts of trama symptoms and you have no other choice you are now left to fend for yourself.
But now that it's been 14 years for me they can shove it up their a** because they need to start talking! I don't beleive one bit of their useless answers..But if your DR told you like they told the rest of the world for Anxiety.......THEY DON"T know what trigers it...so take that as ...I told you BS that your stressed!
Rob2977 2 months ago
2) When you new to anxiety you get to really beleive that you are stressed out but you have not yet taken consideration on why you are stressed out...that only comes years later when you start saying enough is enough then your research leads to all sorts of things that cause this exact reaction to the nerves....The way I see it now..Your body goes thru some type of toxic trama, trigers your nerves, trigers your brain to feel that you are going crazy and when a DR says you are stressed you..

The anxiety I experience is a full blown mega panic attack that will last for hours, days, sometimes even weeks. I would rather be dead than to experience it. I do have a thyroid condition, actually an autoimmune disease called Hashimotos thyroiditis. My body slowly attacks and kills my thyroid, and my hormones are a little off throughout the month. But it affects my mind! Can't think straight, I shake. Strange thought patterns. But the worst is the paralyzing fear and sheer terror I feel.

I know there are so many things I can do in life, but when anxiety kicks in, I can't accomplish anything. I worry so often about things that it always feels my mind is clenched. If I do something minor that bothers me, it doesn't leave my mind, and as I think about it, my stomach clenches, I get light-headed, and I can't sleep. Thanks for posting this video...I think I will talk to someone.

After that, it was like a chain reaction, it all goes away the same way it began, symptom by symptom, it's great, and you will live that too. Sorry to keep on rambling but it was a big stage in my life and I am kinda thankful for the condition I was in. It only made me stronger. Now, when everyone is afraid, I can honestly say I've lived through worse, and I never get nervous about anything anymore. You are the only one who can get you out of this, so stop looking for answers that are not there.

And lastly, I had a thought that completely changed everything for me. I realized I am a human being, and human beings are not designed to sit in their room everyday suffering panic attacks and being afraid of everything. So I told myself I would rather die of a panic attack right now than to be a useless human for the rest of my life who can't even go to the store on his own. After I thought about I started taking more risks and not caring about my heart racing, or shallow breathing or thoughts

You can be 100% you again, don't listen to the people who said they've tried everything but nothing worked.. that's just their anxiety speaking. It's a worthless condition that makes you believe there's no hope. Trust me you are the only one who can beat it, because you are the only one who's causing it. I am telling you this because i wish someone would've told me this sooner. All those horrible thoughts about death you're having will go away when you get rid of the anxiety.
TheExioz 3 months ago
It was horrible, I pretty much became depressed just because I had to deal with that every day, I couldn't even drink juice or anything with sugar or fat because I thought I would have a heart attack, I lost weight, and was pretty weak because I wasn't eating right. I was hospitalized 3 times because I seriously thought I was dying. Going anywhere was a pain, I would rather stay home. So yeah i had it bad, but guess what? You can beat it, without pills or therapy. You are the only one who can.
TheExioz 3 months ago
I'm going to post this because it's what I needed to hear when i had panic attacks. Let me tell you I had it bad, I thought I had cancer, heart disease, i thought i was dying all the time, I couldn't breathe, i didn't want to go to sleep at night because I thought I would choke in my sleep and die, or something would happen when i was sleeping (airplane would fall, carbon monoxide, etc) I'm not one of those people who said they have panic attacks when they barely felt what true anxiety is like.

I notice when I was in the 10th grade that I would start to shake in the cafeteria when I would try to eat something. I would try to put a spoon up to my mouth and before it reaches, there's nothing left. I also went to my campus bookstore today to pick up a snack. I wasn't nervous but I shook as I gave my money to the cashier and when she held her hand out to give me a receipt, I had to let her drop it because I couldn't bear to reach any further. Could this be GAD?

I was just diagonosed with anxiety disorder at age 13 and have been started on meds to help and I'm taking therapy. My family has been very supportive because my mom also has anxiety. But my best friend is not helping she also has anxiety but not as severe as me she is actually part of my stress does anyone have any ways to help.

Going through an episode right now, broken out in cold sweats, jittery, twitchy, what have you and my heart is racing a mile a minute... Good to know that I'm not the only one who has to suffer through this hideous disorder. Still haven't been able to control them and I've been having them for about three years now, and it feels like I'll never know another good night of rest again.

@xSniiPa When you get panic attacks, dont fight them or try to to run away from them. As soon as they enter, do not try and concentrate on something else or think about something else, as it will only make it worse. The only way to stop it is to feel the fear for what its worth and let it happen, LET IT HAPPEN. It's like standing at the edge of a cliff, but you have a fear of what will happen if you jump, but the only way to beat that fear is to take it head on. I promise you this will help.

Just want to ask what the medication is that you're taking? I believe I have a panic disorder though I don't believe I used to. I've started having anxiety attacks about a week ago and crying at random times of the day which is unusual for me. I've been having 2-3 panic attacks every night now because I believe something evil is going to kill me and I never had this happen before. I told my mom the other night that I belive I'm going crazy. I am phoning my doctor tomorrow.

@angelhatesyou75217 Sorry to hear that for you. They helped my mom enormously. I went from being raised by a crazy (remember I was little so I didn't have another word) woman to being raised by a generally stable woman. It made a huge difference for me and my brothers. She went through over a dozen meds before they found a combination that worked for her but eventually they did. She still has symptoms, but nowhere near as bad as when I was little.
