The more people are open about it, the better. It opens the doors knowing that you're not alone, and seeing how others face their problems is a breathe of fresh air rather than "just go see a therapist brah!".

So true!

Tomorrow I am going to visit my psychologist again after 6 months , which I stopped in between . Now I understood I want some help for my anxiety and stress .

Hope it goes well❤

@@davidparkinson6372 thank you

Love!♡

I don’t get it

Nice one😉

@@juliomunoz3772 Worrying will not remove tomorrow's sorrow but will only remove the strength you have to live your today

This... I needed this so much! Got dumped by my girlfriend, graduated from school, starting an internship in 2 weeks and turned 19. Everything of that happened the last 4 months. And it gave me anxiety and depression.

@bladesdna- this is the best comment I have ever read. I had experienced the same.

This comment opened up a whole new way of thinking about my anxiety. I hate change especially when its completely opposite to what i had planned even if its a good thing.

I believe this is know as Adjustment disorder. You guys can read it up in the DSM5 if you’re interested

I always have a difficult time explaining how i feel to people. And when i finally explain how i feel, i always feel misunderstood. Feeling the same afterwards... Meditation, gratitude and practicing affirmations and realising that you are completely normal relieves you from a lot of stress. I hope you are doing well today.

Sometimes it's harder when you're young because you don't have the experience of how to deal with it. I had much worse anxiety when I was 19-20 than now that I'm 24. it takes time to know yourself. It will get better and better if you work on it :-)

keep your head up... we all struggle together. But be thankful to have the possibility to be part of the life on earth for a while :)

I have had anxiety since I was 7. I am super lucky to have had access to a therapist, but I went through three years without hardly any help. Nobody takes a 7 year old with anxiety seriously. And it only got worse. But I'm doing better now. If you have any mental issues, PLEASE TRY THERAPY!

@@TGDreaming I'm 18 and I can figure out how to deal with anxiety especially when you have parents who do not acknowledge that it actually there.....

Thanks Matti :)

I feel like social media contributes to this idea that everybody else but you has it under control. Matt's attitude is one of the positive and honest ones. We need more Matts!

Noone has it all together :) But it's OK, we're humans :)

It is the fear of being vulnerable and getting judged that keeps us all from talking about mental health issues. And that makes us all thinks that we're losers for struggling because nobody else seems to struggle.

100%, I *want* things to work out I *want* to live a fulfilled life but worrying stops me from starting on an uncertain path.

It was great 😂😂😂

Eminem's lyrics are the ultimate cure for anxiety.

I laughed sooo hard

RT hahahahahah

I really appreciate this approach as well. It makes it seem like such a "normal" conversation to have, which is important.

Spot on! Exactly what I felt as well.

Kermit Kardashain that’s so true

Maybe

and that's a bunch of crap

Lol and when you have both?

@TheMaikiller I think it's a great simplification in terms of understanding the thought process. When you're anxious (which is what I suffer from) everything you worry about is literally hypotheticals, and forward thinking. Its a lot of what-ifs and dreading of things to come. I don't experience depression, but from people I've spoken to, the weight you feel is based on things that have happened or are happening. Like, it's based on conclusions rather than hypotheticals. So to simplify this, anxiety is based on unknowns, and depression is based on the knowns. They're closely linked. BUT, you're right, you can't fix this just by "thinking differently" or "accepting the past"

Great thing i just took an expresso in the morning and another in the afternoon

Yeah it is great! You’ll have plenty of energy to conquer the rest of your day and crush your goals, and beginning tomorrow you can be to reduce the amount of caffeine you drink consistently mitigating the feeling of your anxiety🙂 it’s it great when you teach yourself or learn to always think of a positive perspective, people see failure at the worst possible result, I see it as you’re improving, or you stop wasting your valuable time and pursue something that is meaningful

Daniel Mendez my anxiety is made worse by talking about it an aknowledging it. People always say talk to someone but that didn’t work for me. I had to start back just living life normally even if it felt like shit

Daniel Mendez 1000% I had 2 espressos today and mannn I’m dying Feels like 1000 daggers are flying towards me and I have to dodge them all

@Daniel Mendez same for sugar!!

That's simple humour

I hope yall get the Eminem reference and dont shoutout at matt for his humourous line itself :D

M P of course everyone knows it is reference from Eminem 🤦🏼‍♂️

FURY Ł Brenton T but i like it 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@dinass3254 But it's so obvious and overused.

Same it feels like you have some problem inside of you as your thoughts are racing very fast...

Yea was like that but depression is a weird feeling

Olivia B I’ve had anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder and having them all at the same time was HELL.

@@mr.beancouldbreakmyspleen643 wow I'm so sorry to hear that! Hope you're doing okay now

I agree, I find it much harder to handle. xx

Bruh for real!

Anxiety hurts ! So does depression!

Thisss

Chace McLees he doesn’t do ads on vids though.... I know this could be a r/woooooosh but I still wanted to state this.

@@otakudoomer646 I won't r/woooooosh you.

Raag Shah but I will ;)

No joke my hands get so hard to move I can't play video games or guitar even when it's completely without consequence

I always somehow convince myself that I’m having a heart attack. My left shoulder tightens up, chest hurts, and it’s uncomfortable to breath.

@@trevorgcasey I get that too. And my hands get so shakey that I can't even open a bottle of water. It's truly frightening.

What I learned from dealing with anxiety is that the physical symptoms are often related to the way you breath. Stress/panic can cause you to take shallow breaths, putting you in a state of hyperventilation (dizziness, tingling in the lips, hands or feet, headache, weakness, fainting). Recognising this and learning to control your breath can really help you regain.

@@MaartenDeckers That's why meditation can be incredibly helpful when dealing with panic attacks. Because it makes you more aware of your breath. Not only during the practice but in general.

Acceptance is the only thing that will cure it and yeah you heard it right cure, not manage. A channel that helped me grasped acceptance was WondeBro i have came a super long way. But anxiety can be a beast yeah but with commitment and retraining your brain you can overcome anxiety

Thank you for these tips!!! I need to take a day off

Well i cant let my feelings out

Morgan Spring louder for the people in the back!

Morgan Spring ♥️

Ciocan Vlad I feel the same way, now it's like consistent brain fog for me too

Relatable.

That's so true. I feel like I'm stuck although I'm constantly making progress. And that's a never ending loop where I think that I should've done more.

Relatable 😴😴😴

CBT right ??!

@_Abir22 bro i used to live like that its an illusion , i realised that i did not born to be scared or to be occupied by anxiety , i was born to be fearless and happy

Maude Beauchemin thank you for recommending a book, I’ll have to check it out. I’m kinda going thru some stuff with other people as well and this could help :)

Maude Beauchemin I’m reading this book online and it’s helping me thank you 😊

Noor Play so im living at past and future at same time xd

This is a lie because I have MDD Mayor depression disorder and I don’t get depressed because of the past , I don’t get depressed about anything. I just feel depressed and thats is , feeling like my heart aches and feeling sluggish for no reason. Wanting to die because I don’t want to feel the pain of depression. So yeah thats not true but its catchy haha.

But I constantly worry about my past, present and about my future lol so anxiety is a milkshake of everything

My panic attacks are diffrent everytime, although usually they are triggered by something, i have had attacks while lying in bed trying to fall asleep. scariest thing ever! so glad i have not had one in public.. Things are much better now!!! I have not had an attack in over 5 months now…* Here’s how => 4PanicAndAnxietyCure.blogspot.com

Depressed and anxious - you live in a void.

Marco Cardinali I was so pleased that he went down the lyrics route as soon as I heard “palms are sweaty” ha!

oh my god I started to laugh so hard

@Arra Aww thank you:]

Respect

But how ironic is it that we don't live in the future, or the past? We only live in the now.

For me it’s this constant struggle against my own thoughts “ok do I have anxiety” “No I’m just overthinking” “Stop blaming your unwillingness to work through your problems on anxiety” and it’s just confusing and tough at times, because sometimes you just can’t convince yourself to stop even though you know you’re going crazy.

@@Tater_Toot It's a constant struggle, but you must find a way to quiet the mind and get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

I was suicidal for years...i came to realize the more ignorant we are the more anxious we get....

@@curiousgeorge6921 It becomes a negative feedback loop. The only way to break out is to embody what we want to become and avoid looking at the future through the lens of past experiences.

@@ojavier760 no the only way out is expanding your perspective about reality by new knowledge

I have this as well that drives me away from the things that I love because of the responsibility that comes with it. Tbh I don’t know how to handle it and cater the issue from within. I’ve been having this problem for a few years now. What do you do regularly to brave yourself to take the responsibility? Do you have any books/some reading you can recommend me to calm this symptoms down?

What if the perfectionism is a side effect... He could just be trying to cope up with anxiety by doing all this.

@@unnimaya5681 know nothing, Jon Snow. Maybe he has perfectionism because he has anxiety because he has perfectionism because he has anxiety... you get the idea.

tvdsanden, Okay doc.

Thank you so much ! So needed to hear this

@@unnimaya5681 I think you are definitely on to something here - idk if it's that way with Matt or not, but you just made me see the link between my anxiety and perfectionist tendencies. I've come a long way in both, but I think you are right that at least in my case, anxiety makes me feel like I'm out of control. Keeping my space or things I'm doing "perfect" makes me feel like I'm taking that control back. But too much perfectionism can then lead to more anxiety, which leads you to be even more of a perfectionist and then a downward spiral from there (like Dokkodon says in the comment below). And yes I'm quarantine binge watching Matt's channel in Oct 2020 and commenting on many of the old videos lol. Wish I would have found this channel sooner and been watching these videos all along!

Shafikh T loved this line...

Exactly !

A big hug I have anxiety as well

Nicolas Melia cause you’re not thinking about what she said...what she said can actually be true for some

Thanks for the ❤️ Matt. Love your content 👍🏾

Eminem ?

Thomas Alex Norman I was the same and that helped me too, I also recommend meditation or just exercising mindfull breathing and reducing amount of done things, just giving yourself time for resting, for not doing anything, charging batteries and reducing overstimulation

*for doing nothing

Do you think therapy was a major factor in you strengthening your mind? How long after you quit caffeine did you see things get better? Just curious. I had 2 panic attacks beginning of June, since then I’ve quit smoking weed carts and caffeine all together. I’ve also been put on Prozac by my doctor. Just wondering if I can attribute some of this severe anxiety to quitting those 2 drugs cold turkey. I’m also moving and looking to change jobs so I know that can be a factor even though I’m excited about moving.

@@RolandKoller90 If you're thinking about therapy i'd do it, it usually can only be a positive thing, at least to try for a few months. Hard to say, because I did a bunch of things at the same time (that which I said above), so can't be sure of any which one is was that helped specifically

😂😂😂

and what about your actual friends?

Same here being like this for a month now and have develop health anxiety

I really know what you mean! I have anxiety from september...it s actually hard to deal with it.... but...i have some tips for ya... 1. Try to tell this to your parents; They might help u a loot bcz they know you the best 😉 and they are grown adults and know much more abt this. 2. Search for some stress toys (or make your own ; there are a lot of tutorials on yt). It might sound fake, but i tried and this actually works 😋 : when you feel anxious, grab a hand made paper squishy and play with it . Take deeeeeep breaths and do it for like 10-20 seconds. And then , you will feel better!💛 3.Drink water!!!!! You can t actually survive without it...but it also helps you feel better AND lost weight.💧 4.BE CONFIDENT ABOUT YOURSELF!!!!!!! NOBOBY ON THIS PLANET should make you change youself....moral: CHANGE YOURSELF OOONNLYY IF -YOU- WANT TO!!! 😎💅🌟 Hope it works and have an amaaazing year!! Smile a lot and remember you re beautiful and unique!!!❤🌟

John Smith That’s one of the main things that I decided to provide for travelers. It really is helpful. @flexnflyofficial

John Smith I agree 100% this helps me a lot too especially now preparing for college

when im around good friends and good people, it helps...but where i live now, i have no one. i am here by myself, no family around, and i freak tf out. also super depressed

'Also hugs'. Beautiful.

*sends online hugs*

Panic attacks can defenitly be very scary. You aren't alone buddy
