I wonder if anyone can relate to this, but I have developed some other habits or behavior patterns that weren't listed in the video. Especially using books/series as a form of escape-ism to try to ignore or forget the creeping feeling of anxiety, and ending up obsessively reading because it becomes the only form of control I have over these emotions. It also doubles as becoming a source of mastery-feeling, after finishing a book or TV-series. People with depression and anxiety often struggle with getting certain mundane tasks done and end up feeling inadequate. Whether it is through gaming, drawing, reading etc. we often end up becoming somewhat obsessive towards the things that give us feelings of accomplishing and mastering things. This, however, can become quite timeconsuming and make it hard to motivate ourselves to prioritize those other tasks, like eating healthy, exercising etc, as we don't feel the same sense of gratification from those tasks as we do when nurturing our vices. So, our source of joy can become a double-edged sword. While it giving us the feeling of controlling some aspects of our lives, it also easily renders us unable to focus on other things.

I don't know what actually my problem is I'm always anxious and scared to go in public places and actually a fear which is always around me is going outside from my house. it's my biggest fear I don't know how to deal with it? I started breathing heavily. I don't have courage to take a single step outside the house. it's been more than 2yrs now I'm suffering from it really badly!
Can someone relates to the same?
I have no idea how to overcome with it!

I have all of these habits except for the coffee addiction. Which is odd, because I'm a student, an artist, and a writer so if I fit the stereotype I'd be a huge coffee drinker. But otherwise, this describes me very well. Currently lying in bed alone listening to depressing music, procrastinating, and scrolling through my social media after eating nothing all day except for a few cookies this morning. I'm also sleep-deprived.

well. I eat unhealthy stuff, my sleeping schedule is all over the place, I never exercise, I barely meet friends and I'm on social media all day long. I'm extremely unhappy and stressed and anxious and I've been trying to quit these habits for like 3 years now but it never works out, I always fall back into this routine and I'm slowly losing all motivation to even keep trying

Oh good, so you're basically telling me, I have to change every single habit I currently have.
Well, that's great, actually, because I'm already at it. I started a notebook for therapy today and I'm trying to reduce harmful habits day by day!
I hope everyone else is doing their best too and will feel better quite soon. :)

10. Keeping a distance between you and other people.
11. Worrying so much about your health and using hand sanitizer more than 10 times a day.
12. Accepting to pay the price for somebody else's mistake. and keep on doing this for almost a year with sincere commitment.

I dont agree with the last one tho. I feel like sometimes what you need is to hear your feelings sung out beautifully and gracefully, even those are hurtful feelings. At least for me it kinds of reminds me that we are allowed to feel down, and we can even express it sincerely and beautifully through music.

Actually, anything between 6-10 hours of sleep at night is normal - as long as you feel rested
If you struggle to fall asleep or to sleep through the night most days of the week for several weeks, you should go see a doctor
(that's what my psychiatry professor told me on sleep disorders)

When I'm sad, I don't even feel like listening to happy music. Also, it's not easy for me to cry when I'm sad, even if I want to. So when a sad song or sad sounding song makes me even more sad and cry, I sometimes feel better after a while, because a little pressure lifted itself by crying.

I did all of this except drinking coffee since I'm allergic to coffee. As a result I fell sick during my exam and everything I thought I knew went out of my head. Now I'm anxious about my results since if I fail I have to redo the entire year again. it's a vicious cycle

I skip meals due to anxiety or, just as frequently. Lack of ability to afford them. Have literally been to ER due to the combination of both. Blood glucose was 40 because I rode my mtb all day to combat my nerves but didn't bring any food, because food is expensive. lol

Listening to moody music when moody myself tends to comfort me and makes it easier to get in a better mood as it makes me feel like less of an alien for being sad or angry
If I listen to happy music when I'm in these moods I often just get more angry and sad xD

I was on my way to watch the good old 7 ways to maximize your misery that always helps. Then I saw this and was like, eating less than a few triscuts with peanut butter a day several days a week effects how you feel. that other video never mentioned that.

We ALL have anxiety and that's just a fact of life. Some people are just better at managing or hiding it. Don't feel like you're broken or useless cause your not

I do all these things while chilling on Klonopin and paxil. It's easier said than done to get out of these habits, especially on lockdown. Greatings from Hungary.

The data on fat is misleading. Good quality fats will reduce anxiety. The problem with junk food is carbs, poor quality fat and additives. Not fat per se.

Thanks for such a relatable post. It does get hard to realise such daily thing and atleast we can be a little more aware now to make those changes.
