I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder after losing my job. Started my journey on alcohol and cigarettes. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I love the DSMP references so much ❤ and now I realise how anxious I am. I've been in situations where I know I have anxiety so I try to get out of them but sometimes I try to feel more comfortable in that situation so I can feel better.

“It may express itself as habit you had as a child” damn they really did Passerine tommy like that 😭🤚

[alexzz]

I loved how they put the dsmp characters and details into the video! Also, i've been dealing with anxiety almost my whole life long even when i didnt know what it was back then in my childhood. I sometimes cant get my habits which i usually do out of anxiety because they became routine. When i get anxiety attacks i used to shake my knee very often and moving my body parts like hands and feet to calm myself down. Now it became kind of a habit, i dont do it always but even even when i'm just a little bit overwhelmed with situations i do that. My friends and family think i'm weird but thats just uncontrollable at some point for me and i often forget i even do that

[LilacDaCow]

The way you explained all the habits and included a t o n of DSMP references is amazing I loved this so much! <33

"daydreaming is a sign of anxiety"
me who has been using daydreaming as a coping mechanism since i was a child to escape reality and pretend everything was ok when it wasn't: *o h*

Animators: so how many DSMP references do you want in this video?
Them: yes

As a person with anxiety, my diagnosis makes so much sense now! I was diagnosed when I was 15, and I always wondered how sooner than that did I have symptoms. But I remember having so many signs, some of the ones in this video, when I was as young as 6! I used to lose all my jewelry because I would take it off to play with it, I never could pay attention in class because of my constant daydreaming, I was a horrible test taker because I could never concentrate on the test or on anything much really. When I was 13, I shot at the wrong hoop at a basketball game because I was daydreaming when our coach told us the way we were going lol. Thanks Psych2Go!

Enjoy your day and watch the full video bc it helped me a bit to start thinking about having anxiety more than I was and start explain why I do what I do to my friends like when I ask them to repeat smth or talk for no reason or text them at like 2AM

[maytalacedo]

Wow your on point about later signs like lack of sleep, forgetfulness, talk too much, too little, daydream. I started the habit of daydream since I was 10 like I have a bad habit of that because of how paranoid I was at my strict parents being a ticking time bomb and ever since then it affected my life on schools careers and socially in general.

“daydreaming is a sign of anxiety”

me who day dreams so much that sometimes i cant tell if i slept or daydreamed: 😀

[papersparrow]

Everyone gangsta until an SMP named "Psych2SMP" with lore is made.

I never knew I've done these habits in school and at home I've been doing this since I was 9 and now I'm 13 and I'm glad you posted this ☕❤️
