I decided to make a video about my problem, and I hope it can help others aswell! Take the time to watch!
Keep reading for more information on anxiety treatment and how you can cure your anxiety and panic attacks naturally.
it doesnt just have 2 be worry
it could be afraid too
u could live in constant terror like i do
Thank you
im 12 years old and i’ve had GAD, mild depression, and panic attacks since i was 5 (believe it or not)
im just starting to accept it and im going to therapy. i hate living with this.
i’ve actually had the urge to cut my wrists which a year ago the thought would have disgusted me..
seeing this video and reading the comments makes me feel like im not alone. thank you for making this video
@natjaa “How is there hope when you’re on medication?” feels like an incredibly insensitive and negative question to ask first off as if asking the person “How do you think you can help it with medicine?” which is just wrong. I said what I said because your mood depending on a pill can make ALL the difference especially when your “mood” is totally effected by this problem to begin with. I’ve never heard of anyone who honestly can just say “Now it’s gone” as if it was a cold.
@JessicaRabbit602 Exactly my point. I had GAD and I’ve never taken a pill in my life.
Even my therapist was against me taking pills at that point of time.
I try to train my mind and shift my thoughts. Works for me.
@chubbykatze82 I never said ‘oh it will pass’
I’m just saying that I don’t think medication will really help you get over it, cause it’s surpressing, not healing.
I get that people need medication, maybe I will need it one day too, but I am scared to depend on pills. The way I’m dealing with it now takes A LOT of strenght but it works for me.
My anxiety disorder was pretty severe, how can you even think that it wasn’t?
But I’m sorry if I have offended you or anyone, that was not my intention
@natjaa I’ve tried that and ended up on the floor after having passed out. Now I suffer from severe muscle trauma around my neck, right shoulder and the right side of my face.
Not an opinion. Some people NEED the medication. It’s NOT as simple as saying, “Oh it will pass.” and moving on with life. You obviously have not suffered from severe anxiety and really that statement should not be read period because you could be taking away A VERY VALUABLE TOOL for someone that desperately needsit
@JulieLovesOTH I have never met a doctor that takes this seriously and it’s making me cry at this moment to hear you say that sweetheart because NO ONE should take this lightly it’s beyond hell for anyone to go through. Find someone else to talk to and tell them what is going on. Whoever this doctor is needs a kick in the butt, you shouldn’t have to go through this without medication if you feel you really need it and with what you described you need it as I do and so many others.
book of barry joe “panic away program” helped me…. I advise it to everyone… it just wanish very quickly…
I, myself, have lived with major depression and anxiety for 2 years. If any of you know how I’m feeling, if you’re having a low point, I know how you feel. Talk to me, Email me at. You can be angry, sad, normal. I know how you feel and I want to help anyone that is experiencing the same thing so I can make you better, and that makes me better.
@youlikemydog
ask for a second opinion…go to another doctor…they have medicines for that…i can attest to that…and i know a lot will advice you this…THERE IS HOPE!!!!seek the right doctor and medicines…
I want to tell you, this video helped me, and I KNOW it saved a life.
@neoninagirl , At that point in the video, I strayed a little off topic and was referring to psychological disorders in general (schizophrenia for the most part, as seeing and hearing things out of the ordinary are symptoms in that disorder). Sorry for any confusion.
Seeing things you’re not supposed to? Hearing things? I have Panic Disorder and GAD and I have never heard or seen anything that wasn’t there… I’m pretty sure that would be a symptom of a completely different mental disorder.
@CoffeeShopification I feel so alone with my suicidal thoughts. I have Panic Disorder, GAD, and from that, some depression. I’m agoraphobic as well as sooo many other phobias. I feel like a freak and a failure. I’m taking correct action, going through therapy, etc. but have not taken any meds. What therapies did you do? If you don’t mind responding.. if you don’t want to, it’s fine too.
@youlikemydog you can get over it.
Take it from someone that has hit rock bottom and had to figure it out on their own, you can get better, without meds. Seek out someone that has been there and knows what you’re going through, not someone that has read about it in a book and treats you like a number and a paycheck. Meds are a short term fix with long term consequences. Retraining your brain and body to work for you, not against you is more liberating than you can imagine. It’s all about conscious focus and self training.
@youlikemydog i got the same, gad and i quit meds after two months and i got it more under control without meds
its hell but if you go trough you´ll discover amazing things about your self.
don´t give up. there is help and your greatest friend is your self
@youlikemydog its been close to 2 years since i went to the doctors about what i was going through. it was without a doubt the worst time of my life.
believe me there is nothing wrong with you, its just that your anxiety levels are high and you are feeling the side effects of it.
@youlikemydog Youwont die, you are not alone. She described everything I have, get some meds such as LEXAPRO it should help.Also try some meditation.I know how you feel, remember you wont die. Speak to some one. And remember you are not alone.
I just read what you wrote please know this-
and you don’t need to pay for it. I used to live with anxiety, panic, ocd and agarophobi, all of this. Please see my site at: fuentesevangelism.c-o-m
Julie thanks for your insightful and generous post. You seem like a lovely person and I wish you all the best, xxx
If there’s any 2 things I could tell you its a) you aren’t alone. and b) realizing that you have complete control over your actions and little to none over others will provide you with the equpiment, but you still have to scale the mountain. It was the hardest thing to do and I’m still not done, but looking back I’m extremely happy I waned myself off the xanax quickly before I used it to crutch me up. Best of luck dude, feel free to write me and tell me how it goes, I promise I’ll respond.
@youlikemydog you don’t need meds dude, I promise you that. I’ve had extremely severe anxiety attacks where the only solution seemed to involve killing myself. I started taking xanax which provided a moderate amount of relief, only to be replaced with total fear when I couldn’t take my medication. Many of the drugs prescribed for gad have notable health side affects.
None of you have to live with this anymore. I used to be a victim of this and I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-
