This feels like me. I cried today because I felt like living is pointless but I got better, and went outside and calmed down.

This is an amazing video. I am a teen with anxiety. I’ve been dealing with it for years and at the beginning it was more horrible than I could imagine. I hid how I felt because I wanted to fit in. Soon enough my parents found out and I started therapy. This helped me in so many ways.

Even though I started a while ago I still haven’t found a secure way to cope, but I’m learning from others that this takes a lot of time and it’s something that I need to try and see to the end.

Thank you Jake for making these videos because it makes people like me feel so much less alone in the world, and it gives me hope that one day I’ll get through it too.

I have debilitating anxiety. I just want to be able to wrap my brain around the fact that not everything is scary, and not every decision is life or death.

I have severe anxiety and get pain and gag and throw up 24/7, and have selective mutism from it. So thank you for this deeply, I love your content so educational but so here and genuine. You make such a big impact on the world and I hope people strive to push forward healthily and to carry your values.

I can’t explain how this made me feel ❤️

I've always been anxious but I just lived with it. And lived pretty well.
I didn't realise how bad it'd gotten till I realised I'm unable to work on my thesis. The thought of working on it gave me panic attacks. I still was like, nope, you're a big girl, start small, you can do this, you've written stuff before.
Nope, I couldn't. Daily panic attacks, hypertension and diabetes went out of control.
Crying spells and self harm (unaliving) ideation. And even if I logically know that's not the right thing to do, my brain says it's super logical and would be very easy.

It tooky over 8 months to realise I can't handle this alone, that I need help.

It took crying daily, having multiple panic attacks daily, getting cold sweats and chest pains and total apathy and suc*dal thoughts on a loop for weeks for me to tell my mom (doctor) that I think I need help.

Just started therapy a few weeks ago. The act of actually addressing the issue itself helped a lot. My emotional state hasn't changed much, still can't really study. But I hope to get better. My next session is what motivates me to do better.

I have lived with anxiety for many years . Sometimes it's really bad and sometimes it's not so bad . Sleep is most of the time a huge issue . You need a good night's sleep to function well the next day .

I had social anxiety since I can remember, I felt so weak with it.
I needed this, thank you <3

[DaemonetteLeilu]

I literally had a full day meltdown because of my anxiety and medication being ineffective. This has helped me feel validated. Thank you for this and i hope you are doing okay. 💜

[IamAM]

Thanks a lot sir 🙏 😊
I'm in a med school rn, and thought I won't be able to make it through with my anxiety ever since you've shared your story....I feel more motivated.
I'm an average student, and have been following you since my premed days. And I made it into med school🎉🎉🎉

[blackgirljoy]

Thank you so very much for sharing your story to help those who struggle daily with anxiety. Balance and acknowledgment is vital to be more inclusive in everyday activities.

When you feel like this relax and pray to God he is above there waiting for you to ask him anything even anxiety whatsoever i once want to end my life i stopped and pray to Him ask hjm to remove my depression and all the negative feelngs i felt and so just after praying i felt the comfort and peace that i have never felt before he even remove my bitterness with some people who do bad to me.

[spiderwoman]

[truthseeker]

[mqboss]

[evaezsias]

I really like this short film. I suffer from this and others too. Because of this i want to help other people's especially children. I have 1, 5 year till graduating from high school, but i have clear and straigt goals. Thank you for your help with your channel.
Sorry, my english is not too good.

[narcoholic]

I love this. This is me.❤I stopped fighting it and now just let it flow through me, so it leaves. Knowledge is power. Learning why anxiety makes certain things happen to my body was comforting. I understood what was happening so it lessens the fear… 👏🏼💃🏻🍷🙌🏼

[wendy]

I completely understand Thank you so much for all your videos

I had a panic attack today over nothing. And my teacher got another teacher to help me. But that teacher was like ‘What triggered it?’ And I didn’t know what to say because nothing seemed to have. It was just one of those days.


But Thursday and Friday last week were great. I read aloud in class and answered questions, and asked them too.
