8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To

There’s a difference between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder: feelings of nervousness or restlessness will go away, but sufferers of anxiety disorders get nearly no break from their symptoms. Do you struggle with anxiety every day, but it feels like the people around you don't understand what you're going through? Do you feel isolated and alone in your situation? In this video, we're going to talk about the struggles people with anxiety can relate to, to remind you that you're not alone and that many other people who are struggling understand what it's like to deal with an anxiety disorder!

Disclaimer: This video is not meant to diagnose or treat any mental illness, but we hope it can be informative and relatable nonetheless.

I love how I came to the comment section and I find people who are struggling with the same thing I am. That makes me feel less different.

1. You fret and worry over small descions
2. Which comes first, anxiety or sleep disruption?
3. The worst case scenarios always seem more likely then they are
4. You have no clue if others can sense your anxiety
5. You can literally worry yourself sick
6. Self doubt slows you down socially
7. You find it hard to stay focused
8.yes you can have anxiety about anxiety

To everyone who has felt these things, who has struggled with these things, who has tried their best to keep going even when it all feels for nothing. Remember this: don't believe you're alone and hopeless, no matter how terrifying and defeated it all seems, cno matter how little you can believe these words. Thing will get better, maybe not today, tomorrow, next, maybe not for a long time, no one know, but things will get better, some way somehow, some day, it that is not an encouraging thought, I don't know what is. But even so, keep on, cause this is not the end. Probably won't be for a long time.

Mental health is not a destination but a process. It is about how you drive, not where you are going. Your mental health is a priority, you do not have to struggle in silence. Do not let your struggle become your identity 🖖

Does anyone else feel nauseous when going to school? Or even, when you're in school. But it's not like a one time thing, but rather, a daily

I feel like my true self is bubbly and fun. But if even think of being that in real life, my anxiety would tackle me to the ground.

I often have gastrointestinal issues due to anxiety

[zynel]

I feel like I'm trespassing on a secret area where i would be shot dead if I was found.

Edit: Guys I was talking about finding and unlisted video (see Psych2Go community page) and not my mental state. Without context, I can understand the confusion tho. This is just as embarrassing as it is kinda funny.

Actually no, it's incredibly embarrassing. Really should've worded that better. See replies for some beautiful replies tho :).

I have been anxious for a few years. I’m seeing a therapist but I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere. I’m tired of worrying about everything, I’m tired of being tired all the time, I’m tired of not sleeping, I’m tired of overthinking everything, I’m tired of thinking all my friends are going to die. All I want is for me to get a sense of control over my anxiety. I just want it all to stop. All of my anxiety, all of my pain, all of my self harm urges, all of my suicidal thoughts. I just want it all to stop. I really hate my anxiety.

Whenever I’m at a social event I worry about saying bye to people before getting to the event

[my-astrawberries]

I swear It’s so confusing to see the first comments hours or days ago.

[malufukaya]

When I'm on the internet, or talking to people online, everyone seem to be so kind and I feel less like a freak, but in real life no one seems to be like me and it sucks

[kenrickbautista]

I struggle so much with anxiety. Same goes with depression.
