Lol that is not real anxiety disorder...Just some mild symptoms

@2:06 he had an awakeining. 😊

I was functional for 9 years and stupidly would say I was depressed when I was just sad😢because I had gone through severe depression at 18 now. 27 the severe depression returned I’m suicidal I don’t know how to go through this again ❤

i was also a really mean little nerd when i was being bullied, and i only noticed how awful i was being when my brother listened to me talk shit of someone and he said "you're not that great either". i guess it was the bluntness of that remark that made me reconsider a lot of my behavior

This made me feel so sad but it was kinda nice? Idk how to feel about

In few days I will finally meet with a psychiatrist to fix anxiety So sick of hiding from life all those years

Thanks John i appreciate it

Wow Brennan is pretty much the same as he is now in 2024! Also thanks for sharing - relate to this a lot being a child of immigrants and not knowing English when I moved here. Was bullied a lot and then isolated. Ppl don’t realize how much that impacts a kid’s psyche.

Hughie!

What an astonishingly beautiful description and wholesome reassurance. Thank you!

WAIT IM CRYING T-T Knowing how far Brennan has gotten in his career 9 years later SELLING OUT 16 THOUSAND + seats in MADISON SQUARE GARDEN for the DImension 20 liveshow MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL <3

No joke, I am so so grateful for Brennan and the other people he makes content with. It brings me daily joy and helps me feel seen. I had a rough childhood - bullying mixed with wounds inflicted on myself mixed with a bunch of other shit. It came to a head my freshman year in hs when a group of my peers made a social media profile about me behind my back to relentlessly character assassinate me. After that happened, I completely shut down. It has taken a lot of work for me to claw myself back from that, and even so it’s a wound that aches daily. Yes, time and circumstances change; for me the hardest lie to undo has been that nothing has changed and I’m still that terrified 13 year old kid. Watching someone like Brennan come back from being bullied as a kid to become the self actualized dnd and comedy machine he is today - and be incredibly decent and kind on top of that - gives me hope that I can get there someday too. And that he and his cast mates just shamelessly celebrate themselves and each other is so wholesome. I grew up basically believing that there was nothing in me to celebrate and it sometimes makes me cry to watch them love on each other because I see what’s possible. What could be. It’s very, very good.

I just bawled like a baby hearing that after a second un-aliving attempt 😭

Sounds like a commercial for Pfizer

Welcher blöde Psychologe hat dir den Rat gegeben, dies so zu posten. Es ist zwar ehrlich, aber es hilft dir nur begrenzt...

I got diagnosed with the bpd shit at 17. Turning 20 next month. I'm so tired of life.

He has not aged at all in almost a decade

I wish I can feel normal like myself again smoked weed and caught a panic attack haven’t felt the same ever since

There is no safety net that’s for sure, mental health is just ignored

It doesn’t mention what medicine he used that helped him, I have tried lexapro it helped for a few years, then it stopped working and then I tried Zoloft but once again it worked for a while and then stopped working

Massive respect to this dude. Gave me massive relief, too.

I suffered severe depression years ago. I got diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Same combo of pdd and generalized anxiety here, I was diagnosed with it around age 30…escitalopram helps a little as a stabilizer but lately it has been getting worse little by little…😢

I never became the bully when I was bullied, but I can see a path where it could have gone that way. As an undiagnosed autistic, I internalized everyone's hurtful words and indulged in self-loathing. But I've absolutely come up with mean things I'd WANTED to say to my bullies...past and present. Adult trauma responses being what they are, I now choose kindness unless someone else doesn't. I won't be intentionally cruel, but if someone comes at me with knives out whie pretending that they're being polite, I'm going to be blunt about how toxic they reallly are and tear their words apart. Bullies also PERCEIVE being called out as bullying...and it's important to not be gaslit about this when you truly fear becoming that monster.

Your describing almost everything i am feeling, damn it, i thought this was normal!

Is there any cures for this without medication? Also, does anyone talk excessively?

Raise your hand if your PTSD is from rape!

Wow……just wow. Thank you for this video. I have hope after seeing this. ❤❤

The 1000-yard-stare. I've been asked "what are you thinking about?" by partners, and then they don't believe me when I say "Nothing."

Medication is a double edge sword

I had idea he wrote Strong Female Protagonist.

The funny thing is you don't really realize how f-up you are until you go on meds. It helps when you have people close to you who have had messed up childhoods, depression, anxiety, and other traumas like yourself. At least for my group of friends/family it often takes the form of gallows humor. It wouldn't be cool to joke about the circumstances if it was someone else's past but since it is our own past being able to laugh about it takes some of the pain away. Mel Brooks had said something decades ago about how laughing at bad things takes power away from it, instead of being a thing to fear it lets you look on the subject as something to be laughed about, how it takes away it's hold on you. He was talking about satirizing hate groups, but at least for the folks in my circle it also works for some of our traumas. With drugs, therapy, and joking around with each other about things that would make polite society cringe it's letting each other know how messed up we are without asking for a pity party. It's more of a letting each other know that we all share some messed up childhoods and pasts. I know my daughter and me have talked about brushing things off with a joke and having our shrinks be like "Whoa, hold up a minute. What the hell did you say?" Everyone works through things differently. The important thing is getting help and working through it. It's a hell of a lot better than living in a numbed foggy state and every day bleeding into the same. Back in the 80s the only kind of mental health there was was drug rehabs & boot camps for "troubled teens". At least now we're more open about it, unless you come from a religious or conservative family, both of which come with their own unique problems.

I tried ssris to relief GAD and MDD but I always feel like there’s a wall closing in on me every time I take them and I just end up being a prisoner in my own mind. I feel like I may have ocd because the repetitive thoughts get stuck in my head everyday.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing your video.❤

I’ve been dealing with this shit since 1977….

Me too. The same reaction under stress

I'm autistic and BPD. It's hard to know what's what because autism also causes me to mask, on top of my borderline weak perception of self. I used to say that I didn't have a personality before I knew I had these conditions. The mental pain I live with is insurmountable, and nobody around me gets it.

Excellent. Recommended by my brother.

Honestly just waiting for the lisp to roll in

I realized at a very early age that I had a wonderful way with words. Not, just nice words of love and kindness but, also words that could hurt. I was a small kid and went to private school up until highschool with mean mean girls. I decided I would be just as mean to them as they were too me. Some deserved it and some didn't. I wish I had just not let it get me and was just kind. It is so much easier to be kind then mean. Now, at 38, I am more aware of my words and how I use them. I am more kind and loving. Is is easier to block out the noise these days.

It really is (and this sounds weird) cool to learn Brennan used to kinda suck cause I used to suck pretty bad as a kid too and have been carrying that around for the longest time. Seeing someone as kind and caring as Brennan I would think “I could never been like that” but I guess everyone (even the best of us) sucks at some point!

Shellford origin story

Loved him so much in Stand by Me. Such a fantastic actor.

Whats the ringing in the ears about ? I thought that was bad ? Did meds cause that ?

Brennan is so good at saying the most profound and eloquent things. "The wounds that lasted the longest were the things I allowed to be changed about myself by a bad situation" is incredibly true, relatable, and so well put.

Hope everyone doing good. Sending support and hearts! ❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe. Always remember that people care. Sending support and even more hearts!❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤

I was diagnosed with anxiety and depressive disorder almost a year ago. It's been a roller-coaster but I've found equilibrium recently with the help of two medications. I never thought this could happen to me but....there you are. Wil's testimonial is heartfelt, articulate and honest and very much appreciated.

The sun will come out again one day
