– [Narrator] Hey,
Psych2Goers welcome back. Do you have anxiety or do you know what it
might feel like to have it? If you answered no, then it’s still important
for us to educate ourselves and raise awareness about anxiety and other mental illnesses, so it’s a good thing you’re here. And if you have someone in your life who you think might be struggling
with feelings of anxiety, then it would do you a lot of good to learn more about what it’s
like to live with anxiety so you can help eliminate
the stigma against it and be there for them
in a way that they need. So with that said, here are eight things People with anxiety want you to know.
Number one, anxiety is real,
even if you can’t see it. One of the worst things you
can do to someone with anxiety or any kind of mental
health concern is to invalidate their feelings by saying their anxiety is a choice or that it’s all in their head. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t make their struggle
with mental illness any less real. Number two, anxiety
affects a lot of people all over the world. According to the Anxiety and Depression
Association of America, roughly 31% of those aged
18 years old and above have or will experience
an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. That means over 40 million
adults in the United States alone suffer from anxiety every year. That makes anxiety one of
the most commonly diagnosed mental illnesses in the world, affecting people of all ages, races, genders, and backgrounds. Number three, people with
anxiety wish they could stop, but it’s complicated. Next time you ask your friend
to just snap out of it, relax, or get a grip on their anxiety, think back to a time when you
got sick or seriously injured. Could you just tell your
body to get over the cold or stop being allergic to something? To heal your bones or cure your infection with the sheer power of will? No, right? If you could, then life
would be much easier for you.
Well, mental illness
is the same way. Living with anxiety is far
from a walk in the park, and it’s not something that someone can just get over in a snap. Number four, anxiety
affects the mind and body. Sometimes our anxious thoughts lead to experiencing physical symptoms like sweaty palms,
trembling, muscle tension, shortness of breath, and a pounding heart. Anxiety is never just in your head. And trying to rationalize it, as kind as your intentions might be when you tell someone there’s
no need to be nervous, tends to make them feel worse, not better. Number five, anxiety has
nothing to do with you or the relationship. One of the reasons why it’s so difficult for people with mental illnesses to have healthy, thriving,
long-term relationships, be they platonic or romantic, is that most people tend to have this very problematic idea that
if you love someone enough, you can make their mental illness go away, that they can be well for
you or change for the better because of how much they love you and how much you love them.
But it just doesn’t work that way because their anxiety has
nothing to do with you or their relationship with you. And just because they feel
anxious around you sometimes doesn’t mean they love you any less. Number six, seemingly random
things can be triggering. Anxiety can be scary, especially when we don’t
understand the exact nature of why and when it happens. A lot of people suffering from anxiety are often triggered by
many different things. Oftentimes, it can be uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations, such as public speaking or
having fights with friends, but it can also be brought out by seemingly random, unrelated things.
Number seven, it’s not your
job to fix those with anxiety. When a friend or family member confides in you about their
struggles with anxiety, they’re doing it because they trust you and feel safe being vulnerable around you. They’re not asking you to fix them or make their problems go away. So just be there for them
like a good friend would, and any support or
understanding you can show will surely go a long way in helping them manage their anxieties.
And finally, number eight,
we are more than our anxiety. Finally, but maybe most importantly, people with anxiety want you to know that they are more than their
struggles with mental illness. They don’t let their anxiety
define them or their life, so you shouldn’t either. And just because someone
struggles with anxiety doesn’t mean they can’t
enjoy themselves anymore, reach their full potential, or have meaningful
relationships with others. Anxiety disorders are also one of the most highly treatable mental
illnesses in the world, so there’s always hope that
things will get better. So if you have anxiety, do
you agree with these points? Did you learn something new? Remember, if you or anyone you know is struggling with anxiety or any other serious
mental health concern, please do not hesitate to reach out to a mental healthcare
professional today and seek help. Did you find this video insightful? Tell us in the comments below. Please like and share it with friends who might find value in this video, too.

Upbeat music, Instructor, Hey, Psych2goers, Welcome back to our channel. Thank you for your love and support. Your ongoing support helps us further our goal to spread awareness about mental health and psychology. So thank you Now onto the video. Do you feel tired foggy and have trouble concentrating, Or maybe you, ‘ve, been feeling depressed? Haven’t been, getting enough sleep or, too much, sleep While these symptoms, can happen to anyone, once in a while piled: together they can make for some classic signs. You may be mentally breaking down, You may have heard of the term mental breakdown or nervous breakdown. You may have even been guilty of using these terms casually, They’re no longer used as clinical terms by the medical community And a nervous breakdown is not considered a mental illness. Instead, it’s generally viewed as a period when an overwhelming amount of stress affects an individual’s ability to function. This stress can be physical or mental, And the symptoms of a mental breakdown can subtly sneak up on you and grow out of control. If you don’t catch the signs early enough, to help better your mental health, let’s catch these signs early on and see if we can figure it out together. If you’re mentally breaking down, Sign number one, you sleep too much or not enough. Do you find yourself suffering from insomnia? Do you spend your nights tossing and turning with no relief, Or maybe you’re, getting too much sleep? Do you think to yourself? I’ll just lay my head down for one more minute And then you wake up to the lights of your clock. Reading 5 00 pm. Oh boy, Who hasn’t had too much sleep at some point in their life right? We most often sleep in on the weekends after a long week of work or when we’re sick, But the thing is our mental health can be sick as well, And our sleep patterns may be affected because of it. You may be using sleep as an escape from reality, So sleeping in seems much easier to handle than the difficulties of reality, Or maybe you begin to exhibit symptoms of insomnia because your brain is too overactive at night with stress, You could be playing out situations or Scenarios in your head that you’re stressed beyond belief about Try instead to unwind before bed Odds. You’ve heard it before, but a good book and a cup of tea is a good place to start. If you can’t seem to sleep lately, The less stimulation, the better Just don’t watch TV or get on your phone before bed. We need to first wean ourselves from an overly active brain to a calm one by choosing less intense activities to transition to sleepy time. If you go from sprinting to an immediate stop, you’re likely to fall, You might first slow down, walk, and then stop to a finish. It’s the same with going to bed kind of Number two: you show signs of anxiety and depression. One of the most and signs that you’re mentally breaking down is showing symptoms of depression or anxiety. Maybe you feel you’re tense. All the time dizzy or find yourself ruminating on stressful ideas or situations, or maybe you find yourself suddenly crying for no reason or feeling an intense emotion like guilt. These signs are important to catch early on as they could pile up leading to a mental breakdown. If you already suffer from anxiety and depression and notice, your symptoms are worsening, these could be signs that you’re mentally breaking down as well Number three brain fog, Brain fog. What is that, While it’s, not a medical condition, it’s a term that’s often used when one exhibits, several symptoms related to their ability to think. Perhaps you have difficulty concentrating, Or maybe you’ve been extremely indecisive or disoriented. These past few days or weeks, Even memory loss is a symptom of brain fog. Number four is poor hygiene. If you suddenly find yourself neglecting your hygiene, it could mean something is going on. Poor hygiene can be a sign of self-neglect. You may just feel that you, don’t have the energy or don’t feel the need to take care of yourself as much anymore. A sudden lack of hygiene can be linked to depression or mental disorders. It’s best to recognize when something is wrong early, so you can seek out help Number five you withdraw from social events and friends. Have you found that you’re just not so up to hanging out with your friends this weekend next weekend or the weekend after that? Maybe you dread going to that, get together with your friends this Saturday, And the task of getting ready, sighs pain’s taking your heart Well withdrawing from your friends and social events, could be an added sign that you’re mentally breaking down. Humans need socialization, And when this is compromised, our mental health can pay the price Try getting back to socialization. Slowly, if you find it difficult to Reach out to friends through text, or share a funny or insightful video, then maybe a phone call Isolating ourselves can be one of the biggest mistakes to our mental health that we can make. So after this video call your mom text, your friends call a mental health helpline if needed, reach out, and share this video with your uncle Larry, He’s not doing anything. Just don’t mentally isolate Number six difficulty breathing. Do you often and feel this tightness in your chest or find yourself breathing rapidly? Maybe you’ve been taking quick, rapid breaths more than usual, as a response to stress. Go ahead, pay attention to your breathing right now I’m waiting. Are you breathing calmly and relaxed, or are you having difficulty breathing? This is another sign of stress And another sign that you may be mentally breaking down. Stress can get the best of us. Anxiety has a way of finding us when we least expect it Our breathing. Can often identify if we’re, indeed suffering from anxiety, And taking the time to slow our breathing and relax may even relieve some of the stress we carry day to day Go ahead. Take a deep breath In one two: three Out one: two three sighs Feel better. I know I do Number seven, you feel physical pain as well. Maybe you’ve happened to notice that you’ve been suffering from one too many headaches per week. More like seven per week per day And that stomachache can’t seem to go away. Physical pain can often show up when we’re severely stressed. This can be in the form of a light headache every day to a blaring migraine That feeling of a knot in your stomach. That could be stress too, Of course, if these physical symptoms of pain persist and feel like something more than just stress, it’s best to talk to a doctor right away, But if you still feel the emotional pain persisting as well, that is just as valid A reason to seek help from a mental health doctor And number eight you suddenly eat too much or too little Sudden changes in appetite can be a sign of stress as well. The stress hormone cortisol can suddenly cause us to crave certain unhealthy foods high in fat and sugar. So when we’re extremely stressed, bring up the family, size, bag of potato chips, and a tub of ice cream, Hey every one of us can overeat on a bad day now and then, But when this becomes every night odds, are there’s some Suppressed stress you need to confront, Remember we may neglect self-care due to stress, which means we may not want to put in the effort to prepare a healthy, breakfast or dinner, Be aware of this and try to tell yourself that simply spending some time in the Kitchen, making your favorite healthy dish can have some serious benefits to your mental health. Try some deep breathing! As you put your dinner together, You can try staying in the present by focusing on the task at hand to distract yourself from ruminating on those worrisome. Thoughts Make another healthy sandwich for a friend to share while watching a movie, But then once the movie is over turn off the TV and wind down with a book, Your sleep will. Thank you for it later. So do you exhibit any of these signs? Did you practice your deep breathing along with me, or maybe you’ll, reach out to your mom or a friend and share this video? Do you have an Uncle Larry Feel free to. Let us know in the comments And remember whatever struggles you’re going through. We and the many Psych2goers are here to listen.

Hey, Psych2Goers! Welcome back to another video! How do you deal with stress and sadness in
your life? According to Daniela Kaufer, associate professor
of integrative biology at the University of California, stress plays a very important
role in pushing you to optimal levels of alertness and cognitive performance. However, constantly being under high levels
of stress is bad for both your body and your mind. These are six signs of your psychological well-being
is at risk. ONE. Worrying a lot all the time. Do you feel like you are on high alert all
the time? Are you over-worrying about things that you
can’t control? If you are worrying and fretting more than
usual, chances are that your mental health is at risk. Worrying that turns into anxiety can interfere
with your everyday life. When your mind is under siege with worry and
fear, this can affect your relationships, life at work, and your motivation as well.
TWO. Feeling guilty or worthless. Do you constantly think that you’re a failure? Or think everything wrong that happens in
your life is your fault? Feeling guilty and worthless is indicative
of depression. You might have had very strict parents who
had extremely high expectations, or you might have been surrounded by a group of friends
who constantly made you feel bad about yourself. Such interactions can heavily affect your
mental health and self-esteem. THREE. Having difficulty readjusting to home or work
life. Have you experienced a traumatic experience
and can’t seem to readjust to your home or work life? Experiences such as the loss of a loved one
or natural disasters can have an extremely negative impact on your psychological well-being. According to Jeremy McAllister, from Hakomi
Experiential Psychotherapy, experiencing traumas moves your energy levels away from their natural
baselines to extremes, whether these are high or low.
The reason why you have trouble readjusting
after a traumatic experience is that your body has become used to these abnormal levels
of energy. FOUR. Pulling away from people. How long has it been since you last went out
with your family or friends? If you are starting to isolate yourself from
others, then your psychological well-being could be at risk. You might be dealing with shame or depression
and want to retract from people for a bit to process your thoughts and feelings. Taking time for self-care is perfectly okay. But if you find that you are in isolation
too long, try to get back out there and see some of your friends. You might get stuck in a downward spiral if
you are by yourself for too long. FIVE. Substance abuse. Have you recently started, or increased your
consumption of alcohol or drugs? This can be one of the biggest signs that
your psychological well-being is at risk.
When you use drugs or alcohol in excess to
numb the pain and escape reality, then that is when it becomes a problem. You might think that consuming substances
might make you feel better and help you cope with the problems that you are going through. However abusing drugs and alcohol can impact your
mental health as it can affect your motivation levels, mood, and sense of reality negatively. SIX. Suicidal thoughts. Have you recently started having suicidal
thoughts? This is one of the main signs that your psychological
well-being is at risk. Thinking about suicide is a clear indicator
you are most likely having a mental health problem. Whatever the reason for feeling like this,
you must remember that there are many people out there who are willing
to help you. You don’t need to force yourself to handle
this burden alone.
Call a suicide hotline or seek help from a
mental health professional if you are struggling with thoughts of suicide. Did you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below. Remember, your psychological well-being is
very important, and your feelings are valid. Please reach out to a mental health professional,
a family member, or a friend if you feel that you are possibly struggling with any of the
signs listed in this video. Please like and share this video if it helps
you and you think it can help someone else, too! The studies and references used are listed

more accessible to everyone. Now, onto the video. Anxiety and depression
may be confusing, especially if a person
is struggling with both. These mental disorders
can be comorbid, meaning someone with depression,
can also have anxiety symptoms and vice versa. But first, what exactly is
anxiety and depression? According to Medical News Today, anxiety disorders occur when
a person regularly feels disproportional
levels of distress, worry, or fear over an
emotional trigger, while depression is
a mood disorder characterized by persistently
low mood in a feeling of sadness
and loss of interest. Living with both disorders
can be challenging. Let’s have a look at the different and common
symptoms of anxiety and depression. Some anxiety symptoms are,
but not limited to, excessive and ongoing worry
and tension, an unrealistic view of problems, a sense of impending danger,
panic or doom, restlessness or fatigue, the need to go to
the bathroom frequently, and insomnia.
Some depression symptoms are, but again, not limited to, the feeling of being hopeless, the loss of interest in things,
or activities you once enjoyed, appetite changes and weight
fluctuations, insomnia or hypersomnia, suicidal thoughts or attempts,
and self-harming. Some common symptoms
between the two appear to be insomnia,
fatigue, and irritability, all of which impair your ability
to perform everyday tasks. Both mental disorders, although
different, share symptoms making it difficult to understand
which is which. The differences can be observed
in how anxiety and depression manifest. Anxiety disorders are oriented
toward the future. It is characterized by excessive
fear and worry, which in turn, will affect the person’s
behavior. This occurs when people
overestimate the danger in situations. In severe cases, people will avoid
the situation that causes them anxiety. Individuals can experience
sensations of impending doom or feeling on edge 24/7. If the anxiety disorder is not
controlled on time, people can experience
panic attacks, and their daily functions
will become affected.
Depressive disorders,
on the other hand, are oriented towards the past. People tend to fixate on
negative situations that impact them. Individuals experience diminished
interest in most activities if not all. Physically, depressed people can
exhibit psychomotor retardation. This includes slowed speech
and decreased movement. Depression also affects
sleeping patterns. People will either sleep too little,
which can lead to insomnia, or too much, which can
lead to hypersomnia. Individuals with depression have
feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or emptiness. In severe cases, people will have recurrent
thoughts of death, and suicide, or make attempts
to do so. We hope this video
helps you understand what you or a loved one
may be going through. Please, keep in mind that
if you’re struggling with either or both disorders,
you are not alone. Asking for help
does not make you weak. So, please don’t feel ashamed
to do so. If you think you may be
exhibiting signs of anxiety or depression, please see a licensed professional. Feel free to share your story

[Upbeat Music] Hey Psych2Goers, have you ever thought about
joining our team of animators or writers? Or perhaps you want to start an
animation channel of your own? Are you looking through as many YouTube
channels as you could for tutorials and tips, but wasting a lot of time on some not-so-helpful ones? Skill share is a great place where you can earn new things with their online classes,
and they have courses on animation as well! Click the link in the description below to
get your free trial of Skill share Premium! Hey Psych2goers and welcome back to our channel! This video is suggested by one of our
viewers, Army & Blink! Thanks for the suggestion! Now let’s get started.
Have you been wondering if your mental
health is possibly getting worse? Mental health, just like physical health,
affects everyone whether you are suffering from a mental illness or not. Your mental and
emotional health can fluctuate from time to time depending on the stresses going on in
your life. So, it’s always a good idea to check in with yourself and try to gauge the
direction your mental health is going in. With that said, here are ten signs that
your mental health is getting worse. NUMBER ONE. You’re losing interest in the little things. Do your favorite activities suddenly seem meh
to you? If you’ve started to lose excitement for life’s little things, then this is a sign that
your mental health might not be at its best. You might be feeling this way because
of an overload of stress in your life, or you’re feeling overwhelmed with all
of your responsibilities and to-do lists. When you lose interest and don’t enjoy the hobbies
and activities that you once did, this could also be a warning sign of depression.
If you think this
could be what’s happening to you, know that you are not alone, and that help is just around the
corner. Talk with a trusted friend a family member, or a mental health professional to get the
help you need to navigate these troubling times. NUMBER TWO. You get overwhelmed easier. Do you find that you’ve been getting
overwhelmed more often than normal? When you have a to-do list for two
or three tasks, does it feel more like you have ten things to do? When you start to
get overwhelmed easily with everyday things, this could be a sign of worsening mental health.
According to Psychotherapist, Sheri Jacobson, feeling mentally overwhelmed could be an internal
reaction to excessive outside stress. To help cope with this overwhelming feeling, you can
journal, meditate, or practice mindfulness. NUMBER THREE. You don’t feel like
socializing that much anymore. Does it feel more exhausting to
interact with people nowadays? Regardless of whether you’re an introvert,
extrovert, or somewhere in between, we all have a standard comfort level
when it comes to social interaction. If you feel yourself slipping below your comfort
level, pay attention to this.
Remember that even if it doesn’t feel that way at the moment,
interacting with people can help boost your mood! We want to mention that we’re happy to have skill share as a sponsor today because they really promote the idea of a self-made you. Are you planning to learn a new skill, perhaps on illustration, animation, or writing? It would be great if everything you need is all in one place, right?

You don’t have a consistent sleep schedule. Have you developed a seemingly random sleep
schedule? Despite wanting to get up at a certain time in the morning, do you wind up sleeping all
day? When you have an irregular sleep schedule, this could signify increased stress in your
life and a decline in your mental health. If you’re struggling to regulate your sleep,
you can try setting up a routine to wake up and go to bed at the same time every
day.
This will get your body back into its regular rhythm of sleep and wake cycles,
therefore no longer causing sleep disturbance. FIVE. You always feel drained. Despite getting enough sleep and eating well,
do you constantly feel exhausted or drained? According to Healthline, mental exhaustion
can set in when you are under long-term stress and this type of exhaustion can make it feel
like you are trying to move up a mountain. More than just feeling tired, when you are this
drained and constantly exhausted, you might struggle to get anything done. Healthline
suggests practicing gratitude, relaxation, and yoga, as well as talking to a mental
health professional to provide medication for you if it’s needed. Treatment plans will
look different for everyone, but regardless, there is a way that will work best for you to help
pull yourself out of this state of exhaustion. SIX. Your anxiety seems to be increasing. Do you wake up in the morning with a crushing
sense of anxiety that stays with you all day? Does this anxiety cast a cloud over your
daily activities? Worsening anxiety can often coincide with worsening mental health.
Anxiety affects us all, whether or not you happen to suffer from a particular anxiety
disorder.
It’s important to monitor your anxiety levels because a noticeable change
can tell you a lot about your mental health. Anxiety is a response to stress and it can cause
a variety of psychological and physical symptoms. When you feel overly anxious, you might
notice that your heart rate speeds up and your breathing rate increases, and
you might experience a bout of nausea SEVEN. You feel mentally
and emotionally scattered. Do you feel like there are so many things
happening around you, but you can’t focus on any of them? If so, you’re not alone. From
time to time, it’s normal to feel this way, especially when you are going through
higher amounts of stress. However, if you are feeling scattered and like things are
spinning out of control, this could be a sign that your mental health is under strain. According to
Psychologist Rick Hanson from Psychology Today, you probably feel scattered because you are
struggling to find your center. This means that in order for your brain to feel more organized, you
need to feel at peace within yourself.
Practicing mindfulness, such as yoga and meditation, are
great places to start on the road to inner peace. EIGHT. You can’t seem to pay attention. Do you have a harder time
focusing and staying on task? When you’re reading, is it hard to comprehend?
Do you have to reread the same passage over and over again? Though it could relate to
potential psychological disorders such as ADHD, depression, or anxiety, it is also likely that
a lack of focus can be due to stress or poor self-care. It can be frustrating to start losing
focus so frequently and those feelings are valid and normal. Remember to take care of yourself
and, as you recover, know that help is available. NINE. You might be struggling
with your impulse control. Are you acting more on impulse? Are you
possibly indulging in things you shouldn’t? Whether it’s retail therapy, or binging all of
your shows, or playing video games for hours, when you act more on impulse like this, it
can signify worsening mental health.
You might pick up some unhealthy habits
as a way to cope with life stress, fulfill yourself, or distract yourself
from a major issue going on in your life. Journaling, mindfulness, and therapy are great
ways to start uncovering some of these issues! TEN. You are struggling to feel grounded. Similar to feeling centered, when you
are grounded, you are feeling confident and balanced within yourself. According to Irene
Langeveld, an energy worker, and meditation coach, grounding starts with the root chakra at the
base of the spine, known to help you feel secure. Activities that connect your body with
the world around you– such as hiking, meditating, or walking outside –are all great
ways to help you find your sense of grounding! Can you relate to any of the points made in
this video? Do you think your mental health could be slipping? If so, know that
there is help you can reach out to. You can talk to a trusted friend, family member,
or a mental health therapist for support. Please like and share this video if it helps

Sadhguru Our mind is a tremendous gift that remembers vividly every experience and every piece of information that comes our way. Well, this can be transformed into a phenomenal imagination, But if you lose control over your imagination, if you lose the discrimination as to what is imagination and what is reality, what is future, what is present and what is past, then Laughs.
Your mind will become your greatest enemy.
Most human beings are not suffering life, They are just suffering their memory and their imagination.
What happened ten years ago, they still suffer.
What may happen the day after tomorrow, they already suffer.
This is not about life.
This is about lack of control over two most fantastic faculties, that human beings have a vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination Do not worry about your future.
If you do your present well, the future will naturally blossom.
We can only work with what’s on our hands right now Laughs.
You cannot work with what’s on your mind, You can plan for what’s on your mind, but you cannot do anything about it. You can only act in the present moment.
You can only handle what is there right now, Those of you who are too engrossed in your thoughts and emotions, constantly being on social media or something I think you must get rid of your phone and take a walk in the forest If it’s not possible every day, at least one or two days in a month, you must get lost somewhere, just be in nature.
All by yourself walk, sit, observe.
If you pay enough attention, you will see you will be so enchantingly enamored by every little thing.
In existence, because the way a single ant is made is too much for you and your intelligence to grasp exactly how this is made.
Those who have not peeled their eyes to the creation get too enamored with their mental creations, which is their thought.
The juicy part is emotion When your thought and your emotion becomes more important than the creator.’s creation.
That means you have become a perceptional tragedy.
You have not realized the nature of life at all.
We know many things. We can do many things, But we do not know anything in its entirety, So this is the nature of existence.
If you pay attention to it, naturally, your thoughts and emotions will sink into the background.
You can still enjoy them, But you know how insignificant it is.
So it’s very important that if you want to experience the multifarious dimensions of life, you have to be nonserious.
You become serious only because you have taken your existence too seriously, though we exist here for a minuscule amount of time in this cosmos.
This is a vast cosmos, The very planetary system, the solar system in which we exist is a speck On that planet.
Earth is a micro speck In that micro speck, the place you live or the city you live is a super micro speck.
In that, you have become a big man or woman, and that’s the reason why you’re so serious about life.
It’s a brief amount of time that you have as life In this.
If you take yourself too seriously, you are one big joke. The secret of life is to see everything with a nonserious eye but to be involved like a sport, So be a sport for life.
If you want to be a sport for life, you have to be able to see that your existence is of consequence for the times in which we live, but not of eternal consequence.
Unless you touch the eternal dimension of who you really, are It’s such a brief life, only in doing what you truly care for, will your life become worthwhile If genuine involvement has to come in your life. For you to give yourself absolutely, you must be doing something that truly truly matters to you.
It’s, important that you find that When I say it’s important to find that you, don’t have to spend half your life.
Looking for what is my passion, No, You just have to dig into this ability you making everything yours When everything is yours.
This whole world is yours.
This cosmos is yours, So when it is a part of you, if you involve yourself absolutely and constantly strive to create what matters to you, what you care for, then your existence itself will be worthwhile, not necessarily your actions, what you achieve and may not achieve, but your very existence will be truly worthwhile because just to breathe and be is a phenomenon Laughs, There are no greater phenomena than life If this is not worthwhile, what is.

(pleasant comforting music) – [Amanda] Hey there psych2-goers and welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know
that your ongoing support helps us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So thank you all so much for
the love that you’ve given us. Before we begin, we wanted
to remind you that this video is meant for informative purposes only and is not meant to be a
diagnostic tool for mental illness. Please reach out to a
mental health professional or your doctor if you think you might be struggling with anxiety. With that said, let’s begin.
Anxiety seems to be so
mainstream these days and people are feeling more
stressed out than ever. However, there is a difference
between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. Feelings of nervousness or
restlessness will go away but people with anxiety disorders get no such break from their symptoms. This can change the way you communicate, behave, and even think. In today’s video, we will be
talking about eight struggles that people with anxiety can relate to. Number one, you fret and worry over small decision choices. Do you freeze with indecision
when thinking about what you want for lunch? It usually shouldn’t matter that much but when your brain is
moving at a mile a minute, it’s not hard to invent
a hypothetical situation where this choice could
mean life or death. There are so many what-ifs to consider and the anxious brain
wants to examine them all. It’s important to remember why your mind stays stuck on something, it’s trying to protect you.
The what-ifs are all meant
to prepare your brain to deal with real situations,
should they arise. Be kind to yourself when making a decision doesn’t come easily to you. It’s not for nothing, even if it is disruptive or frustrating. Two, which comes first,
anxiety or sleep disruption? If you find it difficult
to get a good night’s sleep with an anxious brain, you’re not alone. According to the Anxiety
and Depression Association of America, stress and
anxiety are closely related to and often coincide with sleep disorders. These can range from
nightmares or restlessness to more complex conditions
such as bruxism, where you grind your teeth while you sleep, or narcolepsy which causes you
to spontaneously fall asleep. It can be hard to tell
whether sleep troubles or anxious thoughts are
the root of the problem.
Anxiety can cause a lack
of sleep just as easily as a lack of sleep can
make you feel anxious. Number three, the worst-case scenarios always seem more likely than they are. When you’ve been dealing with
your anxiety for a long time, your brain gets used to being
on the alert for danger, even when none is present. This is why it’s easy to ruminate on negative or intrusive thoughts. Jumping passed the more likely outcomes to a worst-case scenario
becomes automatic. Everyday occurrences send
your nervous system spinning when you’ve become so good
at searching for anything that might go wrong. We offer a challenge to any anxious psych2-goers out there; if you notice yourself
imagining a disastrous outcome or event, see if you can come
up with one other scenario that may occur instead. Is one more likely than
the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety.
Do you worry about whether
or not other people can tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly
worried about how someone will react if they do find out
you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience
anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no real way to tell
unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety
is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably
too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little
flushed or act a little odd. Five, you can
worry yourself sick.
Have you ever been so stressed
and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety,
these severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that
symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and
gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over
a long period can lead to complications such
as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions
in the nervous system.
Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and
about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have
social anxiety disorder which is specific to
public or group settings. Between physical symptoms
and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with
your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with
intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right.
If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes
you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware
of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is
a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to
double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find
it hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you have to
reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading.
Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the
brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that
space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns
won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you
but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yeah, you can have anxiety
about your anxiety.
Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health
Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in
situations where escape might be difficult or that
help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take
public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not
leave their house at all.
Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment. Did you relate to any of these scenarios? Tell us about it in the comments below. Anxiety is tough but so are you. If you have any other tips that
help you with your anxiety, share them in the comments below. If you found this video

(upbeat music) – [Narrator] Hey Psych2goers,
welcome back to another video. Thank you so much for
all the love and support that you’ve given us. Our mission is to make mental health and psychology more
accessible to everyone. Today, we’ve invited Emma
McAdam, a licensed marriage and family therapist shares
her insights on depression and some tips on how to cope with it. Her channel is therapy in a nutshell, you can check it out in the
link in the description below. With that said, let’s get started. History of depression
in my family and myself, just like physical health, you have to maintain it by
taking care of your body with exercise eating the right food, and going to the doctor
when you’re injured or ill. With mental health, you also have to take daily action to be healthy. And when things are stressful, I have to take extra care
to manage my mental health.
So for example, when I was in grad school or when I was pregnant or
postpartum, and right now when we as a global community
are fighting a pandemic, we all have to take a little extra care of our mental health. What I’m going to talk about today is more about maintaining mental health than it is about getting out of the
deepest pit of depression. When you’re deep in a depressive episode, it can be really hard to see any light. It feels like you’re
at the bottom of a pit and can’t imagine what it
feels like to be out of it. At that place, often, all
you can do is tiny steps and hopefully get some
help to get out of there.
So don’t allow yourself to
get overwhelmed by my routine. Just choose one little thing to start with and then take the next step when you can. Number one is the morning routine. So the first thing I do every day is get on my knees and pray. I express gratitude for
the day of my life and for the opportunity I have
to do good in the world.
And that connection with God for me helps me feel loved and
purposeful throughout my day. If you’re not religious you could do some meditation
or a breathing exercise here. I try not to look at my phone
first thing in the morning because I wanna start
my day intentionally, the way I want it to be. If I open social media I’m letting others choose what I take in and that could be positive,
negative, stressful, uplifting, or critical. And so I just choose to start
my day with some quiet time. I do a little reading and
then I write out my goals and priorities for the day. And right now with all the
news, that’s frightening. I choose to listen to the news
around lunchtime, once a day so that I don’t get
constantly stressed out and have time to process
it during my waking hours.
And speaking of waking hours let’s talk about sleep for a minute. I have three kids, five and under. So I usually wake up before
them to get some quiet time to set my intention for the day. My natural wake-up time
is around 5:00 a.m. I don’t usually set an
alarm, but to wake up I often go to bed between
9.00 to 10:00 p.m. I’m not fighting my natural biorhythms. I just listen to my body. And this is the schedule that
works best for me.
Many people, might
have different sleep needs or different schedules. Sleep is super important
to managing depression. There’s a massive correlation
between sleep problems and depression. Lack of sleep can cause depression and getting good sleep can
let your brain heal from depression. So I value my sleep. I have old friends who nicknamed me 905 because I often go to bed at that time. And I miss out on some fun for sure, but it’s what keeps me healthy.
So it’s worth it for me. For each person, your
sleep needs are different but getting enough sleep can
make a big difference. One study found that 87%
of people with depression who resolved their insomnia significantly decreased
their depression symptoms. Number two, get dressed and showered. So after waking up refreshed
and taking quiet time to pray, study, and set my intentions for the day, I make sure to get showered and dressed. I found that this can be
hard when you’re depressed, but being clean and dressed
helps me feel more energetic and gets rid of my excuses. I mean, if I have yesterday’s
makeup all over my face and I’m wearing PJs, it
makes it hard for me to want to go out and see friends or
be social or get things done. So just get dressed for the day. Then I take my multivitamins. And if I remember I take
my omega-3 supplements, and nutrition is an important
part of my routine as well.
I try to eat a lot of plants
and not too much sugar or processed foods, but I’m not going to go into
that too much right now. Number three, exercise. The other essential part of my mental health
maintenance is exercise. There’s so much research
that proves that exercise is great for mental health. It helps clear brain fog, and it helps reduce stress
chemicals in your brain. I feel like when I exercise,
it just works through a backlog of pent-up emotions and
I can feel my body relax.
I think it also helps me deal
with anger and frustration. And I just like it. I know a lot of people
exercise in the morning, but for me back when I worked full-time, I used to always go climbing or for a hike or run after work. That’s when I needed it the most. And it was hard for me to
get motivated in the morning but by afternoon, I was
looking forward to it. Now that I’m a full-time mom, I have to be more creative
in how I get my exercise in.
I often just work out
in the yard, gardening, digging in the dirt, and
running around the yard with my wheelbarrow, or I’ll do some yoga on TV
or go for a walk with my kids or pull them behind my bike. Now that we’re stuck in our homes with the coronavirus pandemic, I’m doing more inside workouts. I like the seven-minute
workouts on my phone or The Fitness Marshall on YouTube. Number four is nature time. This takes me back to another aspect of my mental health routine
that is important to me. Outside time. I need nature. I need to see the sky
and soak in some sun.
I’m fortunate to live
in a beautiful place. And I take advantage of
that by getting outside. There is some research showing
that sunshine nature and being outside change our physiology. It slows our heart rate and decreases the stress
chemicals and stuff. But regardless of the research, I can just feel the difference for me. If you can’t get outside,
open your windows, and sit on your porch. Or if you can’t do any of that then you can spend some time looking at beautiful landscape
photography or a nature film. Your brain can bring to mind the feelings of nature just by imagining it. Number five is my evening routine.
My evening routine looks
like getting my kids to bed and then taking some
quiet time for myself. I usually take a hot bath and read a book or an archeology journal. I’m kinda nerdy, but that’s what I like. Even though I have very few hours to work on my passion project, these videos, I don’t usually work in the evenings, because it would just
stress me out a little and I need the downtime to stay healthy. So then before bed, I write in my journal, I often take the time
to write about my wins and accomplishments of the day
so that I can remember them because it’s my natural habit to dwell on my mistakes and shortcomings. So I write about my wins
and then I pray a prayer of gratitude and talk with my
heavenly father about my day. Again, gratitude practice
is an essential habit of mental health, and it’s been shown to be an effective
treatment for depression. So you can pray about it like me, express gratitude as a family,
which we do at dinner time, or write about it, whatever works for you.
And then I go to bed. I try not to spend too much
time looking at screens before bed, but if I do, I
choose some calming documentary or a mudlarking channel
like Nikola Whites. If you don’t know what mudlarking is, it’s just finding
historical bits of treasures on themes in London. Anyway, I find it relaxing. I encourage people not to be on TV because it’s just not
super great for your brain. But if you do choose a
short and calming show. Lastly, other self-care. For me, that includes scheduling
and some time for my hobby. I have tons of hobbies, but
because I’m so busy with kids I don’t have
time to do most of them I make sure to carve
out about two hours a week to do at least one of them. Right now that’s metal detecting which is something fun
and relaxing for me. I put it on the calendar so
that I make sure it happens.
I also take the Sabbath
off, no work, no housework. I don’t check my work email. I let my brain completely
focus on other things. Mostly my family, which
is also exhausting, but it’s a day that is
different from the others. And I make sure to have
social time as well. Having social interactions
is essential for mental health. Our brains are inherently social. We are social creatures. So right now this is going
to be an extra challenge with the Coronavirus. I’m taking the time to
call up old friends. I have some groups I’m
hanging out with on Zoom and when we’re not on lockdown I meet up with friends
to let the kids play or to go out to lunch or whatever. So there you have it.
My daily routine to
maintain mental health. I have a careful morning routine. I make sure to get enough sleep. I get dressed every day. I exercise and get some outside time, I carve out time to relax each
evening, practice gratitude, and acknowledge my successes of the day. And once a week, I make sure to get out and do something just
for me, stress, anxiety, and social isolation can
all contribute to depression but you can prevent depression
during stressful times like the pandemic and social distancing by using daily habits that
promote mental health.
Depression is treatable and there are some simple
things you can do every day to prevent depression and
stay mentally healthy. I hope you can find some things from this list that help you figure out a way to maintain your mental health. Today, this week, and
during the crazy pandemic that we’re going through. And remember, you’re braver than you know and stronger than you think. Thanks for watching and take care. If you enjoyed this video and would like to learn more

Anxiety disorders, phobias, and chronic panic attacks affect millions of people all over the world. Often, treatment consists of medications used to reduce anxiety, but these medications don’t work for everyone. Many people are too afraid to explore the real reason why they have anxiety or they’re too embarrassed to seek medical attention. Instead, they suffer for years struggling to learn how to cope with this condition, alone. More often than not this results in the person avoiding many of the places and activities they once loved because they’re so afraid they’ll have a panic attack in public. If you’re tired of trying new medications that don’t work or you’re looking for an all-natural approach to anxiety treatment, the 60 Second Panic Solution program can help.
We know many things. We can do many things, But we do not know anything in its entirety, So this is the nature of existence.
If you pay attention to it, naturally, your thoughts and emotions will sink into the background.
You can still enjoy them, But you know how insignificant it is.
So it’s very important that if you want to experience the multifarious dimensions of life, you have to be nonserious.
You become serious only because you have taken your existence too seriously, though we exist here for a minuscule amount of time in this cosmos.
This is a vast cosmos, The very planetary system, the solar system in which we exist is a speck On that planet.
Earth is a micro speck In that micro speck, the place you live or the city you live is a super micro speck.
In that, you have become a big man or woman, and that’s the reason why you’re so serious about life.
It’s a brief amount of time that you have as life In this.
If you take yourself too seriously, you are one big joke. The secret of life is to see everything with a nonserious eye but to be involved like a sport, So be a sport for life.
If you want to be a sport for life, you have to be able to see that your existence is of consequence for the times in which we live, but not of eternal consequence.
Unless you touch the eternal dimension of who you really, are It’s such a brief life, only in doing what you truly care for, will your life become worthwhile If genuine involvement has to come in your life. For you to give yourself absolutely, you must be doing something that truly truly matters to you.
It’s, important that you find that When I say it’s important to find that you, don’t have to spend half your life.
Looking for what is my passion, No, You just have to dig into this ability you making everything yours When everything is yours.
This whole world is yours.
This cosmos is yours, So when it is a part of you, if you involve yourself absolutely and constantly strive to create what matters to you, what you care for, then your existence itself will be worthwhile, not necessarily your actions, what you achieve and may not achieve, but your very existence will be truly worthwhile because just to breathe and be is a phenomenon Laughs, There are no greater phenomena than life If this is not worthwhile, what is.
I think it also helps me deal
with anger and frustration. And I just like it. I know a lot of people
exercise in the morning, but for me back when I worked full-time, I used to always go climbing or for a hike or run after work. That’s when I needed it the most. And it was hard for me to
get motivated in the morning but by afternoon, I was
looking forward to it. Now that I’m a full-time mom, I have to be more creative
in how I get my exercise in.
I often just work out
in the yard, gardening, digging in the dirt, and
running around the yard with my wheelbarrow, or I’ll do some yoga on TV
or go for a walk with my kids or pull them behind my bike. Now that we’re stuck in our homes with the coronavirus pandemic, I’m doing more inside workouts. I like the seven-minute
workouts on my phone or The Fitness Marshall on YouTube. Number four is nature time. This takes me back to another aspect of my mental health routine
that is important to me. Outside time. I need nature. I need to see the sky
and soak in some sun.
I’m fortunate to live
in a beautiful place. And I take advantage of
that by getting outside. There is some research showing
that sunshine nature and being outside change our physiology. It slows our heart rate and decreases the stress
chemicals and stuff. But regardless of the research, I can just feel the difference for me. If you can’t get outside,
open your windows, and sit on your porch. Or if you can’t do any of that then you can spend some time looking at beautiful landscape
photography or a nature film. Your brain can bring to mind the feelings of nature just by imagining it. Number five is my evening routine.
My evening routine looks
like getting my kids to bed and then taking some
quiet time for myself. I usually take a hot bath and read a book or an archeology journal. I’m kinda nerdy, but that’s what I like. Even though I have very few hours to work on my passion project, these videos, I don’t usually work in the evenings, because it would just
stress me out a little and I need the downtime to stay healthy. So then before bed, I write in my journal, I often take the time
