Please make a video on how to deal with high functioning anxiety

I thought that's my personality, not a condition!

[Samomysl]

I'm 1 and 3.... I'm seen as the smart kid that knows everything and doesn't have any problems, when in reality I'm stressed because everyday I'm told to study hard in school which makes me not able to try as hard as I want because I don't feel comfortable with how I am doing with things related to school once I'm told to get A's because if I don't my teachers (who are very strict) will call my mother and I will get yelled at for not "trying" when I give it all I can at the moment.

Yepp… that’s me. I even get anxious when I’m not anxious. And sometimes it seems like my anxiety is helping me to function. I don’t feel safe without it. I feel like I’m not myself without it. 😢

I lived with a narcisist for 30 years. The constant anxiety was a day to day thing. My way to cope was to keep busy and to keep everyone comfortable and fed. I always put everyone else first and fail to take care of myself. Big price to pay when you do this for so long.

[harshdawar]

All of that is completely relatable. I am 15 and I am known to be the smartest kid in the class. I always come 1st in academics. But I am really afraid of loosing, failure or rejection. That is why I either try to stay at the top of the thing, or not do it at all.
Fear is the main reason I want to keep my position of first rank in examination. I know that no one will judge or anything me but I still am afraid of it (actually I am topper of my batch since grade 6th)
I think that is why I am unable to actually participate in any games that my whole class plays whenever it's the period of sports in my school. I just stand at the corner, when I see everyone having fun I also wanna take part but I couldn't get myself to participate because I feel that I am not as good as
them or someone will judge me.
When someone asks why don't you play I just say I don't want to or I don't like sports but actually I am afraid of getting embarrassed or being judged or ruining the fun others are having.
I also don't have friends actually I don't even know who to call my friend. Eventhough they are very great people, My classmates actually become too formal in front of me. I actually feel that my presence just makes them feel uncomfortable. They don't talk to me casually with me as they talk with their other "friends". That is why I also like to live alone as I don't want to ruin others conversations.

Sometimes I have a weird feeling. I know I have to work but a little thing that doesn't even matter comes in mind and I can do nothing except using my phone. I use my phone for like an hour without even enjoying it but that feeling keeps me from doing anything else. And the problem is this feeling comes even when the events are so small like I talked to an old friend after a long time and I just keep thinking 'was I weird ', 'What was he thinking about me ' etc .

I hope you know that all your content on Anxiety and Depression has helped me more than 2 therapists have. Keep it up and thanks. Be proud you're making a difference for so many.

[nobraincells]

Oh my gosh. I knew I had anxiety, but I had no idea I was doing this until I watched this video. I have horrible social anxiety, performance anxiety, and touch sensitivities (for example, people touching me can make me anxious.) To combat those, I forced myself to do social dance, musical theater, choir, and other things because I wasn’t going to let my anxiety stop me. I was panicking all the time and no one noticed unless I actively said I was nervous. I would also get compliments on my dedication to things because I threw myself into them so deeply. Oh my gosh. I might have to ask my therapist about this because I don’t want to self diagnose anything.

[ilovetosingx]

I’m going forward in the right direction with God & I trust my intuition & my discernment & I overcame my depression & my anxiety & I’m at peace again with myself & I’m a brave woman 👩 — Kim 👩🙏❤️

[agenttoffiehere]

Thank you so much for bringing awareness about this. I had this all through out my life. It's exhausting

[HardDanceism]

You are a gem, helped me more than most doctors I’ve seen

[michellewalker]

Literally I’m all 3. I just discovered you a couple days ago and you help me to calm down and take a minute to breath.

[muhammadwaqaskhalid]

I think you are helping me more than the doctors and therapists i have been to

[thomaswentworth]

I love you. Not literally, but she puts into words exactly what I cannot.

[Ella-gfsl]

Yes this basically describes me😢 so please do a video on how to deal with high functioning anxiety

[someonesomewhere]

I can't relax, every time I try to slow down and rest I get severe anxiety and even panick attacks, sometimes I even cry because of the frustration. Every single time I try to tell someone that I'm worried I won't pass a test or I won't make it or whatever, they say that I always get good grades and I'm just showing off. Because of this I have become quiet as no one understands me. Some people in my class even bullied me for not volunteering to answer in class when a teacher asks a question even if I know the answer, but they don't know/ won't ever understand that i worry so much that I'm wrong and I always feel like a failure, despite my results, and if I get something wrong in front of everyone it means remembering that moment every single night when I try to go to sleep for years to come. I'm crying right now because I passed all my exams without problems (even though I went through so much to get there because due to my anxiety I also procrastinate a lot and I deal with nightmares, sleep paralysis, depression and obsessive compulsive behaviors such as biting my nails, picking at my skin (my face and body are full of scars)), and I'm supposed to be on vacation and relax but I just can't. Even if I have nothing to do, I'm just stressed out whatever I do. Existince is pain and I often find comfort in food or other distractions from the pain. I can't afford therapy and I've also dealt with psychological abuse my whole life. I'm working hard to get to my dream (as I've been lucky enough to find my passion which makes me very happy) and I'm slowly getting there but my mental issues are tiring me out so much.. This isn't a cry for help, I've given up asking for help as no one really cares or they can't help anyway. This is just a rant, meant to calm me down because this video describes part of my situation and it brought back some unpleasant feelings.

[sheri]

This is me. At times, my anxiety gets me into self-doubt, and I wonder if it is all a facade. But, through my conscious journey to heal, I have come to accept myself and my anxiety disorder. And I have come to believe that I can't change my past, but I can certainly live with courage.

[Mattisyn.butcher]

This put me in tears.. no reason it’s just I was never diagnosed with depression but I have bad anxiety. And I’m slowly recovering and taking lots of ur advice and it really has helped thank you.
