Anyone else get really anxious when someone has to go on your phone or tablet? I literally have nothing to hide on it but my phone is saying no SIM card, emergency calls only when I do have a SIM card (my phone is old) and I'm honestly on the edge of a panic attack because I don't want people doing anything with my phone (I've turned it on and off, took the battery out and messed with the SIM card (like I've done before and it's worked) and it still says it) I have been diagnosed with severe social anxiety a while ago but I didn't think it would effect me like this (feels like a normal panic attack, I asked my mum what would happen now if my phone won't stop and she kept on saying things really slow (because she was trying to watch something) and she just didn't get to the point and I was FILLED with anxiety and was waving my arms around trying to get her to say it faster and then I got told off by my sister for being annoying. I also hate it when someone is in my room for too long or won't get out when I tell them to.

I'm watching this on Aug 2023, although I've seen this video before! I have panic attacks, anxiety, depression and other psychological and emotional issues! The main point I wanted to make is that I have no idea what I'm up against, and that's pretty frightening and isolating! I don't know if anyone shares my experience, because supposedly everyone's situation is unique, but regardless, I wish I had the knowledge and control to defeat these evil and enigmatic forces that administer and inflict this agony and suffering on me!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, but when I'm finally out of this labyrinth, I will breath a huge sigh of relief and will be ready to help others in any way I can! Wish me luck, better yet, wish us all luck so we can all one day soon have our happy ending! Take care and have a good one!

Very informative video. To feel better reduce negative thoughts [overthinking]. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Dont fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, before sleep, in school, at work, when reading, etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

As somebody who has anxiety that affects everything I do, it annoys me when people dont understand what it is.
Omg I have anxiety
You dont. youre nervous.
People dont understand what it truly is. Its something that affects everything you do.
Say Im wearing a nice outfit
Is she looking at me.
Maybe it makes me look bad!
What am I doing, Why did I wear this!
Or say youre at a school camp and do a zip line
What if it snaps.
I cant do this
What if the line goes down and people laugh
Its the constant fear of what people think, Or what might happen.
Im currently only 13 years old and I have clinically diagnosed anxiety.

I have something that can help.
The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

I hate when people are like: Don't worry, I get anxious too!
Like NO you doj't UNDERSTAND.
You are FEELING anxious, I HAVE anxiety(as in, I have the illness anxiety) which CAUSES me to FEEL anxious,
There's a difference.
Like, yes we all feel generally anxious at times.
But do you feel anxious about walking one block to drop off a letter in the mailbox?
Do you constantly cycle through your to-do list in your head till you feel like screaming?
No.

I sat and watched this video just saying yes to all of it. I really dislike when people say, You worry too much or You shouldn't worry about things you can't control. There's nothing to be anxious about. Stop, you'll be fine. You have to get over it. I understand that people think they're being helpful but it's the COMPLETE opposite. It can be frustrating and sometimes intensify my anxiety more. I appreciate this video because it validates a lot of how I feel.

A lot of my anxiety comes from my friends and wondering what they think of me, and I know its not something I should worry about but I do anyways. Ive cried before because a project felt overwhelming even though I had easy access to everything I needed and my extreme overthinking kept me from realizing it. Im not sure if I have clinical anxiety because Ive never had a panic attack but I feel like some things are probably a lot stronger than normal.

This is amazing. The everyday tasks that cause me 100x more anxiety, fear and other emotions are hard for my roommate and friend to understand. He thinks I should be able to pick up the phone and make a call, but I literally cant. Ive tried. I cant (I hang right up. Im anxious just thinking about it. Let me have some PRN valium and maybe Ill be able to function normally.

People constantly tell me to just stop being anxious. Like OMG why didn't I think of that! I get it's coming from a good place but it's not helpful in the slightest. Also I hate when people think that just because you are on depression medication that you won't have anxiety or anything else wrong. Like one medication makes everything better.

when she said she fears death and to her not acknowledging that you may die means you're going to die I laughed so hard because that's so me! It's exactly what I've always felt and was never able to really express and really is nonsense, but that doesn't make it less real to me, to my brain!

Im not sure if I do have anxiety or not. and I dont want to claim I do. But they always just tell me to just do it. Im not sure how to tell them its not as easy as just doing it. I cant open my mouth without starting to shake and tear up infront of new people? I guess i dont know

Depression and anxiety combined is caring too much about everything in your life but being too drained of energy to even consider doing something about it; thereby making the anxiety worse, which makes the depression worse; etc etc etc into eternity.

I can see the points but I still am confused on what I should do to help someone who struggles with anxiety. What am I supposed to say? Dont worry about has always been my go to saying, clearly it wasnt helpful, so what do I say instead?

Gives me a rational reason to not be afraid
THIS FEAR ISNT RATIONAL
No just genuinely stop giving me RATIONAL advice or comfort on an irrational fear, it's like attacking a water type with a fire type

i wish people would stop pretending to have anxiety because it's cool or quirky. whether or not they genuinely think they have it, they should educate themselves before they potentially invalidate other people.

It would be great if people would try to understand your issues instead of challenging them by saying why is it bothering you so much. because they don't have issues like that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I wish people would understand that if I admit out loud, I'm having a panic attack it feels more real. Like the feelings beyond words, but I guess it is the best way i know how to put it. I hope that makes sense.

I actually like when people who I talk with when I am anxious tell me You do not have to worry about it cause they remind me it is not worth to live in fear. But it is more of a you don't have to than a don't.

#1 thing I wish people knew about anxiety.
It can be constant and getting too frustrated with us can scare us like an abused animal. I want to crawl in a corner and promise to never talk about it again.
