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?

we are closer to reaching our goal of making psychology
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? Well, Skill share has thousands of catered courses across all kinds of topics like design, business, tech, and more. There is truly something for everyone. Skill share has a great intro class on animation that we really recommend. The course is called “Creativity Unleashed: Discover, Hone, and Share Your Voice Online” by Johannes Fast. If any of you are interested in learning basic animation, I recommend you go check it out in the link below! The first 1000 people will get a free trial of Skill share Premium and after that, it’s only around $10 a month. Let us know what Skill share courses you’re taking in the comments below. FOUR. 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

(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

Hey Psych2go family, welcome back to another video. Do you have an overwhelming fear of losing your loved ones? Do you distrust other people or have anxiety about being abandoned? Abandonment issues typically arise in childhood but can develop later on in life as well. The fear of abandonment is a serious type of anxiety that often stems from a traumatic experience. Some aren’t even aware of their repressed emotional trauma. But it can manifest into unhealthy behaviors over time. So, here are 7 Signs You may Have Abandonment Issues. One: you’re a people pleaser. Do you want to impress everyone you meet? Whether it’s your friends, acquaintances, or family members, you try to meet their expectations to get on their good side. You’re the one who tries harder in your relationship, and you’re willing to put everyone else’s needs ahead of yours, as long as it gets them to stay. If you have a strong need to please people and gain their approval, you may still have some unresolved abandonment issues. Two: you struggle with insecurity. Do you sometimes think that someday, the people closest to you will get sick of you and leave? People who are afraid of being abandoned often struggle with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy because someone you love has walked out on you in the past. You’ve internalized the emotional trauma. You may have wrongly believed that it was YOUR fault that they left. This can result in low self-esteem and a need for constant reassurance. Three: you find it hard to trust people Do you find it hard to trust others to keep their promises or to be there for you? Do you want to be in control of your relationships and know everything that’s going on with your loved ones? Because you’ve been hurt in the past, you have a strong fear of being left alone. In certain cases, it can lead to feelings of unreasonable jealousy, suspicion, and possessiveness over your friends and romantic partners. Four: you’re afraid to be vulnerable Do you feel uncomfortable during moments of emotional intimacy and honesty? Are you scared of getting close to someone or needing them too much? Your deep-seated fear of abandonment may manifest into a fear of intimacy and emotional vulnerability. You may unconsciously sabotage your relationships by pushing people away just as you start to care for them. You may struggle with commitment, and act detached and indifferent when you do care. Five: you look for reasons to leave. Do you always look for reasons to leave in fear of getting too attached to someone? You hold your loved ones to unrealistically high standards and you only focus on their flaws. You don’t give them any room for mistakes. You do this knowing that they’re bound to disappoint you. And when they fail to meet your expectations, you use it as an excuse to give up and leave. Six: you move on too quickly Do you have difficulty forming meaningful relationships that last because of a deep-seated fear of abandonment? When you cycle through relationships one after another and move on too quickly, you’re not allowing yourself the time and space to deal with the emotional fallout. Instead, you dive into something new and exciting to distract yourself. You never want to be alone, because it would force you to confront the personal issues you’ve been repressing for so long. And number 7… you cling to unhealthy relationships Do you find yourself gravitating towards all the wrong people? Have you stayed with someone knowing they’re bad for you? The trauma of being abandoned, especially at a young age, can stay with you for a long time. And since we’re all hard-wired to recreate our early childhood experiences for comfort and familiarity, your childhood taught you the wrong things about love. It’s not uncommon for you to be drawn to people who treat you poorly. Do you relate to any of the signs mentioned here? I know I did… Is a fear of abandonment harming your relationships and keeping you from being happy? Let us know in the comments below.

[Music] hi everyone we it’s like to go would love to thank you for making us a digital family of more than 2 million it’s with your continued support that we’re able to bring you new content regularly our mission is to help everyone become more self aware of the various psychological factors that affect our lives one such factor that we hear about on a daily basis is anxiety but it’s important to know when it’s anxiety only and wanted to become something more so let’s find out anxiety in general is our normal reaction to stress in fact it can be a good thing anxiety motivates you to accomplish your assignments to study harder for a test and it can warn you when you’re in a dangerous situation it informs you to be extra vigilant about your environment the fight or flee generalized anxiety disorder or GED on the other hand is a full-fledged anxiety disorder that involves intense and excessive anxiety as a key factor along with other debilitating symptoms differentiating between normal anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder or di D can be tricky how do you know especially if you’re a little more anxious than others whether or not your anxiety is significant enough to qualify as a disorder so let’s begin with an introduction to the main concepts revolving around the – one normal anxiety is more of a friend than a foe according to the anxiety and depression Association of America anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion which is characterized by feelings of tension worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure when we face potentially harmful or worrying triggers feelings of anxiety are not only normal but necessary for survival since the earliest days the approach of predators an incoming danger set off alarms in the body and allowed evasive action these alarms were in the form of a raised heartbeat sledding and increased sensitivity to surroundings danger causes a rush of adrenaline a hormone in the brain which in turn triggers the anxious reactions in a process called the fight-or-flight response this prepares humans to physically confront or flee any potential threats to sea all these are classic characteristics of normal anxiety such traits came in handy for our predecessors but we don’t have to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight anymore so running from larger animals is a less pressing concern in present times than it would have been for early humans anxieties now revolve around work money family life health and other crucial issues that demand a person’s attention without necessarily requiring the fight-or-flight reaction the nervous feeling before an important life event are during a difficult situation is a natural echo of the original fight-or-flight reaction it can still be essential to survival anxiety about being hit by a car when crossing the street for example means that a person will instinctively look both ways to avoid danger when the duration or severity of an anxious feeling is out of proportion to the original trigger or stressor physical symptoms such as increased blood pressure and nausea may also develop these responses are what moved normal anxiety beyond into gid generalized anxiety disorder GA D is when the trouble starts generalized anxiety disorder involves persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities people with symptoms of GA D tend to always expect disaster and can stop worrying about health money family work or school in people with GID the worry is often unrealistic or out of proportion from the situation daily life becomes a constant state of worry fear and dread eventually the anxiety so dominates the person’s thinking that it interferes with daily functioning including work school social activities and relationships there are several key differences that make them distinguishable here are a few ways you can tell the two apart one presence of a stressor usually a normal anxiety occurs in response to a stressor such as an exam an upcoming interview a fight with a friend or a new job when you struggle with GID you’re anxious most or almost all of the time even when you can’t spot the source of the stress for instance people a generalized anxiety disorder can have a difficult time just getting through the day even seemingly small responsibilities like paying the bills make them feel anxious – intensity and length gid produces intense and excessive emotional responses even if you’re reacting to a stressor your anxiety is disproportionate to that stressor many people are on the edge before an exam but a person with jad might be anxious several weeks beforehand and will experience intense symptoms right before and during the exam also normal anxiety is fleeting while gid is ongoing and the feelings can last weeks or months three physical symptoms of jad excessive anxiety and wary aren’t the only symptoms that accompany GID there are physical symptoms – dizziness lightheadedness sweating trembling heart pounding headaches and nausea you feel like you can’t breathe can’t talk or have to go to the bathroom frequently people at jad also report feeling detachment and disconnected from reality they feel like they can’t think straight and have difficulty concentrating psychological symptoms are also present individuals experience racing or negative thoughts and are unable to concentrate and have worries about day to day things or impairment when you struggle with GID it affects your entire life it impairs or interferes with your schoolwork job and daily life avoidance is a symptom of jad and can be quite debilitating in other words excessive anxiety can cause you to avoid normal activities you might skip class miss a test stop going to work procrastinate grocery shopping or avoid anything that makes you feel anxious and 5 no control most people can reduce and control their anxiety through a variety of coping techniques and the ability to calm oneself however people at GID have significant difficulty finding relaxation calm and time away from their worries if you have more difficulty than other people you know in controlling your anxiety it may be more than normal anxiety did you often find yourself confused about these two conditions do these factors easier to differentiate between the two do let us know in the comments below if you are struggling

Everyone experiences sadness, loneliness, and grief. But when depression symptoms don’t go away, the emotional toll can be devastating! http://mental.healthguru.com/
Soft music Instructor, Hey Psych2goers, and welcome back to another video. Before we start, we would like to give you a big thanks for all the support that you’ve given us. Psych2Gos mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. Now let’s begin. Are you extremely afraid of being judged by others? Are you very self-conscious in everyday social situations? Do you avoid meeting new people? These are all trademark signs of social anxiety, which affects approximately 15 million people in the United States alone. Social anxiety disorder is classified as a significant amount of fear, embarrassment, or humiliation in social or performance-based situations. It goes far deeper than mere shyness, where shyness is more of a personality. Trait social anxiety disorder can cause significant disruption of your daily life. Before we begin, we would like to mention that this video is created for educational purposes only and is not intended to substitute a professional diagnosis. If you suspect you may have social anxiety, disorder, or any mental health condition, we highly advise you to seek help from a qualified mental health. Professional With that said here are nine things that social anxiety makes us do One repeatedly double checking the location and time. Do you find yourself repeatedly checking your phone to make sure you’re in the right place? It can be terrifying for those with social anxiety to arrive late or walk into the wrong room. So double or even triple-checking information is necessary. Even if you know you’ve got the details right. It can bring you peace of mind just to make sure it may be the difference between walking in with confidence or hesitation and two rehearsing conversations in your head ahead of time. While this may be a subconscious practice at first many people who face social anxiety rehearse things they’re going to say before they have the actual conversation. This often begins as imagining future conversations or running through a list of important points to discuss. Some people find it more helpful to physically practice having a conversation as well. That being said, not everyone who rehearses their conversations beforehand necessarily has social anxiety, Memorization and practice are both common tools to aid. You feel nervous whether you’re anxious about public speaking talking to a specific person or being social in general Number three avoiding phone calls, even though it’s become a bit of a joke among millennials and Gen Zer, who prefer to text avoid phone Calls is actually a fairly common behavior for people with social anxiety. Psychologist Lindsay Sharfstein told Headspace. Anxiety is typical for all of us. It’s a universal emotion that we can all relate to. For the most part. We know that individuals are not afraid of phones. They have phones in their office backpack purse. What they’re typically afraid of is the evaluation or judgment that may happen when they’re on a phone. This may be why some people prefer to text instead of talk on the phone. The more one can put between themselves and the other person the more comfortable they generally feel interacting Four faking phone calls Have you ever pretended to be in the middle of a call just to avoid talking to someone or worn headphones to discourage others from approaching you, Although it’s safe to assume that phone calls are not something that people with social anxiety look forward to faking, a call can come in handy. It can be a lot easier to act busy rather than face the awkwardness of an unwanted conversation. So, this can become a habit of avoidance. If you have social anxiety, five constantly worrying about how everyone sees you. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, those with a social anxiety disorder are increasingly concerned about how they are perceived by others. The last thing they want is to come off as awkward, fumbling, or boring. You’ve likely felt this way at some point throughout your life, whether it’s the desire to fit in with friends or make a good impression on a potential employer with social anxiety. However, this pressure to perform feels constantly heavy and can lead to full-blown panic attacks when in social or performance-based situations Number six is feeling lonely. Even when you’re surrounded by people, People with social anxiety can share this feeling with those who battle, depression and other mental illnesses as well. So, unfortunately, a lot of people can relate to this isolating feeling When social anxiety keeps you from being your true self. It can be difficult to feel included at all. It’s frustrating to be close to others, but not be able to connect with them in a comfortable way. If you’re struggling to effectively communicate and are extremely hesitant to even start a conversation that adds to your feelings of loneliness, even when you’re, surrounded by others, Number seven clenching your teeth and other physical discomforts, you feel shaky or lightheaded when faced with A social situation: Does your heart rate speed up or do your hands tremble? The stress that comes with social anxiety can manifest through physical symptoms. Many of the symptoms are signs of nervousness such as sweating, flushing, and feeling shaky According to Mayo Clinic. You might also be dealing with muscle tension, feeling that your mind has gone blank, or having trouble catching your breath. Number eight obsessing over how you look When you’re, constantly worried about how others perceive you. You’re likely to be concerned with how you look as well. You might have a distorted body image and think that you’re less physically attractive. Your thoughts can flit from your hair to your clothes or flaws in your skin. Thinking that it’s just all wrong In an attempt to feel comfortable in your own skin, you might spend an inappropriate amount of time and money on fixing your appearance, such as shopping for better clothes, getting high-end beauty products, or going on diets. If you think you’re overweight and number nine, you feel more like yourself around the people. You’re comfortable with Yourself, think you’re picky about who you spend time with, and triumph over shyness by conquering social anxiety disorder, Dr. Marie B. Stein and John R. Walker discusses behavior in children called selective mutism. This is when a child speaks and acts normally around select individuals but is completely silent around everyone else or when placed in certain situations. This is a more extreme example, but it shows how those with social anxiety are more likely to relax and open up around people. They already know and trust, do you or anyone you know resonate with any of these points mentioned in this video?

(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 is closely related to and often coincides 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 no one 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 can no other people 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 tangible 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 acted a little odd. Five, you can literally
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
an extended period of time 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 is hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you must
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, yes, 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

As found on YouTubeAnxiety 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.
Five: you look for reasons to leave. Do you always look for reasons to leave in fear of getting too attached to someone? You hold your loved ones to unrealistically high standards and you only focus on their flaws. You don’t give them any room for mistakes. You do this knowing that they’re bound to disappoint you. And when they fail to meet your expectations, you use it as an excuse to give up and leave. Six: you move on too quickly Do you have difficulty forming meaningful relationships that last because of a deep-seated fear of abandonment? When you cycle through relationships one after another and move on too quickly, you’re not allowing yourself the time and space to deal with the emotional fallout. Instead, you dive into something new and exciting to distract yourself. You never want to be alone, because it would force you to confront the personal issues you’ve been repressing for so long. And number 7… you cling to unhealthy relationships Do you find yourself gravitating towards all the wrong people? Have you stayed with someone knowing they’re bad for you? The trauma of being abandoned, especially at a young age, can stay with you for a long time. And since we’re all hard-wired to recreate our early childhood experiences for comfort and familiarity, your childhood taught you the wrong things about love. It’s not uncommon for you to be drawn to people who treat you poorly. Do you relate to any of the signs mentioned here? I know I did… Is a fear of abandonment harming your relationships and keeping you from being happy? Let us know in the comments below.

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 can no other people 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 tangible 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 acted a little odd. Five, you can literally
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
an extended period of time 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 is hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you must
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, yes, 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

The last thing they want
is to come off as awkward, fumbling, or boring. You’ve likely felt this way at some point throughout your life, whether it’s the desire
to fit in with friends or make a good impression
on a potential employer, with social anxiety however, this pressure to perform
feels constantly heavy and can lead to full-blown panic attacks when in social or
performance-based situations. Number six is feeling lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people. People with social anxiety
can share this feeling with those who battle depression and other mental illnesses as well. So, unfortunately, a lot
of people can relate to this isolating feeling. When social anxiety keeps you
from being your true self, it can be difficult to
feel included at all. It’s frustrating to be close to others, but not be able to connect
with them comfortably. If you’re struggling
to properly communicate and are extremely hesitant
to even start a conversation, that adds to your feelings of loneliness, even when you’re surrounded by others. Number seven, clenching your teeth and other physical discomforts. You feel shaky or lightheaded when faced with a social situation. Does your heart rate speed
up, or do your hands tremble? The stress that comes with social anxiety can manifest through physical symptoms. Many of the symptoms are
signs of nervousness, such as sweating, flushing,
and feeling shaky. According to the Mayo Clinic, you might also be dealing
with muscle tension, feeling that your mind has gone blank, or having trouble catching your breath. Number eight, obsessing over how you look. When you’re constantly worried about how others perceive you, you’re likely to be concerned
with how you look as well. You might have a distorted body image and think that you’re less
physically attractive. Your thoughts can flit from
your hair to your clothes or flaws in your skin, thinking
that it’s just all wrong. In an attempt to feel
comfortable in your skin, you might spend an inappropriate
amount of time and money on fixing your appearance, such as shopping for better clothes, getting high-end beauty
products, or going on diets if you think you’re overweight. And number nine, you
feel more like yourself around the people you’re comfortable with. You think you’re picky about
who you spend time with and triumph over shyness, conquering social anxiety disorder, Dr. Marie B. Stein and John R. Walker discuss behavior in children
called selective mutism. This is when a child
speaks and acts normally around select individuals,
but is completely silent around everyone else, or when
placed in certain situations, this is a more extreme example, but it shows how those with social anxiety are more likely to relax and open up around people they already know and trust. Do you or anyone you know resonate with any of these points
