grant video!!!

[XxEvE1986xX]

this is making my stomach hurt...:(

[leptoceratops]

@opethforlife And as a tip, when you stop viewing women as "you fucking females", "females" will want to fuck you.

[leptoceratops]

@opethforlife Anxiety disorders occur more frequently in women (not "females"), and some affect women twice as frequently. That fact is of interest to a women's group.

If most resources on anxiety treated it as a women's issue, I would understand why men with anxiety would feel alienated - they're no vast minority - but this ONE video is the only resource I've found (having anxiety myself) in the context of a presentation to a women's group - and it isn't unjustified. Perspective.

[AndrewKH85]

Respond to this video...  We just need more deadly pills

[fourthwind1]

Ive had anxiety disorder for 16 years, from the age of 18 (male) ive had many medications and also C.B.T did nothing, and i cant see how it would work actually, as its not about how you think, its the psysical felling that comes first then the thoughts....

[stevenreiss]

i think you may be right and its worth trying out

[sara46762]

yeah was fast ......but informative and helpful thank you...

[sara46762]

talking too fast...

[sandbar3000]

Yeah, I got a huge fear of flying things like bees, wasps, yellowjackets and anything that buzzes.

I may have PTSD since I was in a car accident in 2003 and I get so freaking scared when I'm in a passenger seat-and I'm not driving the car. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I go way over board when they come to a stop sign or a stop light-I try to push myself away from the dashboard. I hate being a passenger in a car.

[stevenreiss]

get cognitive behaviour therapy treatment and ask at your local university or hospital to get adresses also there is medication out there like ssri which are new and relaxants.

have to be prescribed by doctor.

[sandbar3000]

I am on an SSRI already! Does not work real good. I need a benozodiphine or how ever it is spelled.

I know about CBT. I read up on it already. My b/f is in practicum already and will be done with his masters in Psychology, so I know about all this stuff.

SSRI are not strong at all. I'm going to ask to be put on Klonopin.

[gopalannarayanan]

@sandbar3000 I pray that you stay on SSRI and NOT ask for Klonopin. SSRI works slowly but slowly. From experience, the lowest dose SSRI taken consistently for long period (years) is the best. Remember your depression took years to develop. Try to get about 30 minutes of light exercise (Objective: At least stretch every joint.) After about six months on SSRI start slowly on CBT. From my experience (social work), SSRI's good but slow; also for anxiety, Restless Leg Syndrome, Sleep Disorders, etc

[sandbar3000]

@gopalannarayanan, the SSRI is building up in my body and I'm resistant to it. This is why I'm on 150 or 200 mg per day now. I only take the Xanax stuff one week b4 my period - and I only took that for 2 days - not even an entire week. I'm looking into other types of therapy as well, not just drugs.

[dubbymacky]

an hour in the gym 3 times a week will benefit you more then any one of these drugs thats a fact i used to take fluxetine which was also affective so combine the 2 and your on to a winning formula

[sandbar3000]

You know, exercise would probably help what they are talking about...I have GAD and I was diagnosed with that back in 2003. I know that I feel so good after-due to those endorphins...I do not know if exericse will take away my GAD though.

[dubbymacky]

go to ur gym sign up and do 45 min of low intensity or high intensity exercise when ur finished av a shower and something healthy to eat and note how you feel i gaurentee you will be on a natural high for the rest of the evening you will also sleep better too!!

[gg06287]

I was always anxious, but wasn't diagnosed until age 34 (8 years). Immediately after taking lexapro, my life became enjoyable for the first time. I use to exercise everyday, and I couldn't sleep. I appeared to be a successful person, however, I was anxiety ridden 2 hrs a day. If you don't live it, you don't understand.

[dubbymacky]

sounds like shes working for the drug companies

[stevenreiss]

she sounds like all she says is based on her depth of knowledge its all correct stuff i have checked on it with the doctors at the priory hosp london.

[dubbymacky]

she is to quick to prescribe drugs which can be addictive

[gg06287]

if you had diabetes, you wouldn't think of skipping meds, so why is it, that people still think it is a weakness to take meds.

I was 34 before I began taking lexapro, and my life became enjoyable afterwards. I was successful in managing a full-time career, and raising 2 children on my own. I could handle anything that was given to me, but I could never relax. I have always exercised, and I eat very healhty. Chemical imbalances are real.

[tvtubedog]

mine is so complex that i just can't classify it as this and that type and there is no proven cure - only treatment ? say what type of anxiety would you say i have ... ...

[crystallmw]

I got anxiety disorders from being injected with an ANTI ANXIETY drug called Midazolam/Versed. Why they did this when I wasn't anxious in the first place is a mystery to me. Now I have to live with PTSD. Thanks Doctors, nurses, CRNA's and all the rest of you people who play with people's brains for your own gratification.

[Grrraig]

@crystallmw - I am very interested in this. What age did they do this?

[94civiclxgrey]

@crystallmw Very true Anxiety meds are Not good they don't even know how they work and thats printed on the warning label screw the meds i can do this on my own with out them.

[swastedcat]

nice vid, i have depression and it stopped me from doing the things i used to love. Vilift is the only pill that helped me.

[ThermalHD]

@swastedcat Good that your pills work. For me valium worked very good on my depression and anxiety, but the doctor is very reluctant to give me the medicine.

I can get addicted to it. Duh, i dont care as long as i get well from the D&A im happy.

[pokerliciousmk]

what exactly does it mean when they describe anxiety as : a relatively permanent state of worry and nervouness?

Does anyone know?

[harmonizethelord9]

well anxiety means fear so obviously its related to worry or nervousness as well as intimidation.

[happysushikittyparty]

when it's around all the time - i've had constant anxiety for 20 years. it changes your brain chemistry and your neuropathways. it's awful.

[edward1159]

is this woman a dr. nurse or rep for the drug companys ?

[enors412]

I'd rather not have a leg than have a life dominated by irrational fear.

[jcpilot550]

one day in school my teacher asked me to help search up music on youtube for presentations. i had so much anxiety cuz i was like 2 inches away from the computer and everyone was lookin at the vids. fuck tht sucked

[calladuz]

Holy shit. I been in that quite a similar situation to you dude, and I really know your pain.

[soundgardener]

Oh FFS I can't watch this, over 2 mins of bloody intro...wake up and understand that internet audiences won't put up with it.

[77057206631113]

How could a 50 minute video be uploaded on you tube?

[steflondon88]

I think if it's not anything mainstream or exciting to a lot of people, then they don't care and they let you post it. But if its a hollywood thing, or something popular then they take it down. That's what it seems like anyway.

[benguapo]

umm that has nothing to do with it?....all you have to do is change your type to director

[harmonizethelord9]

dude there are longer vidoes then that

[fourthwind1]

Mine is not on list!

[melvine81]

i am now taking imipramine for my anxiety and i hope it helps. I really need something to rely on cause it is already causing me social and health problem. My blood pressure has evaluated.

[Thoreos]

anxiety can burden me down pretty hard, the key for me is just not too dwell on it...

have you ever looked into meditation? you should

[BGrade15]

Personally, I hate the physical symptoms that come with my anxiety, they make me so paranoid. My doctor referred me to a councillor, and it looks to me like hypochondriasis, it's awful.

[downwardfeline]

Very informative video. Thanks for posting.

[tasha122277]

Medications are NOT proven safe and yet doctors continue to prescribe them. This is all a bunch of outdated science. Psychiatry still has a very, very long way to go.
