7 Signs It Might Be Anxiety

 – [Narrator] Hi Psych2Goers. Have you noticed the little things you do when you’re feeling stressed out or anxious? Like many people, when you think of anxiety, you may think of someone who is having trouble breathing or someone who is sweating profusely. But what about the more subtle signs of anxiety? There are many less obvious signs of anxiety you may not be aware of. So to help you out, here are seven little habits you don’t know are signs of anxiety. Number one. You excessively play with your hair. Have you ever heard people say that when a person is touching their hair, it’s a sign of flirting? While there is some truth in this, it does depend on the situation, the psychological state of the person, and who the person is interacting with. When you’re nervous, you may feel some sort of harmless relief when you touch your hair, but too much of this may also lead to body-focused, repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs, which consist of a set of disorders like compulsive hair-pulling, compulsive nail biting, and compulsive skin picking. Number two. You create multiple to-do lists. How many task lists do you have? Sometimes, when you’re an over-thinker, you may forget a lot of the little things, whether it’s buying groceries, bringing a document to work, or to meet up with a a friend at a certain time. Writing your tasks may help you remember what to do and reduce your overall anxiety about forgetting them. But too many to-do-lists may not be helpful either since writing tasks with no prioritization can end up overwhelming us as well. According to a study done by a senior doctoral student at Carleton University, it is indeed effective to use to-do lists to plan your day. However, its effectiveness may depend on how much you like structure and organization. Every year, most people set New Year’s resolutions, but around 80% of these will get abandoned in just the first two months. The best way to succeed with your resolutions is to transform them into tiny habits and stick to them, which is why we’re so thankful to have Fabulous, the number one self-care app to help you build better habits and achieve your goals to be the sponsor for this video.

Try out Fabulous today and get 25% off your subscription. Number three. You’re not able to sleep through the night. Can you sleep well at night? When stressed out, people with anxiety disorders tend to have a state of mental hyperarousal, frequently marked by worry, which leads to hypersleep reactivity.  Research also found connections between anxiety disorders and changes in a person’s sleep cycles. When you’re anxious and ruminate before sleep, this affects rapid eye movement or REM sleep, which may induce more unsettling dreams and result in a higher likelihood of sleeping disruptions. Having nightmares during sleep may also reinforce a negative association between dread and sleep. Number four. You use fear language. Do a lot of your sentences start with, “I’m concerned, I’m afraid, or I’m worried?” According to a licensed clinical psychologist, Alicia H. Clark, PsyD PLLC, “The regular use of such phrases “may indicate a deeper problem. “Even though it may sound normal, “sometimes this fear language can be a sign of anxiety “that is most often brushed off.” Number five. You’re not able to sit still. Can you be still when you’re sitting down? Perhaps you can’t help but tap your foot or scrum around in your chair. According to Dr. Clark, being restless and unable to sit still can be a subtle sign of anxiety. However, it’s important to note that being unable to sit still can also be a classic example of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, since sitting down is an under-stimulating task that is unrewarding to the brain. Number six. You apologize excessively. Do you say sorry a lot? Another sign of anxiety is when a word of apology comes too often and easily, even when it’s not your fault or when it’s out of your control. With anxiety, you may find yourself still over-apologizing for the situation. According to Dr. Juliana Breines, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Rhode Island, “If you’re always hard on yourself “and have a tendency to beat yourself up for things, “then it’s likely “you’ll also tend to over-apologize.” And number seven, you forget important details. Are you always told off for overlooking small details and making small mistakes? Sometimes, when you have anxiety, you may feel overwhelmed with thoughts, such as about how things may go wrong that you end up not paying attention to the things happening around you. This can make you overlook crucial moments in detail that are important. So if you find yourself missing important details or forgetting crucial information a lotta the time, it may be a sign of anxiety. What do you do when you’re anxious?

4 Ways to Deal with Anxiety | Sadhguru

 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.As found on YouTubeI thought my anxiety disorder was for life… $49.⁰⁰ But I Discovered How Hundreds Of Former Anxiety Sufferers Melted Away Their Anxiety And Now Live Relaxed, Happy Lives – With No Trace Of Anxiety Or Depression At All! http://flywait.anxiety4.hop.clickbank.net We’ve seen so many people go anxiety-free that we have no hesitation in guaranteeing this program.

8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To

 (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.

Thank you for watching and we’ll see you next time..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.download-z2

10 Signs of Hidden Anxiety

 According to the American Psychological Association People with anxiety have a future-oriented fear which leads them to avoid anything that could potentially trigger a stress response. In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that approximately forty million people worldwide suffer from anxiety Anxiety disorders are highly treatable but recent surveys show that only 36.9% of those suffering from it seek treatment This might be because most people with anxiety worry about the judgment of others and how the stigma against mental illness might negatively affect their lives. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you worry you might be suffering from anxiety and just don’t realize it? Here are 10 tell-tale signs of hidden anxiety to look out for. 1. You don’t like talking to people face to face. You can easily keep a conversation going for hours when you’re texting or chatting online with a friend but talking to someone in person… No… that’s an entirely different story. Even if you already know them well or have talked to them online you still get tense and nervous talking to them in person You have trouble making eye contact or finding the words to respond and you want to end face-to-face conversations as soon as they begin to 2. You’re always self-conscious. Do you walk into a room and immediately feel like everyone is staring at you, listening to you, and judging your every move? Or perhaps you’re overly conscious of the way you walk, the way you eat, the way you sit, the sound of your voice when you talk and so on This could be a sign that you have hidden anxiety 3. You’re easily upset or irritated. Has anyone ever told you you’re too sensitive? Do you find your feelings getting hurt easily? Are you quick to get angry or upset with others over the littlest things? This kind of emotional volatility may be a sign that you have high-functioning anxiety. As anxiety can often make us easily overwhelmed and emotionally imbalanced frequent mood swings, temper tantrums, and irritability can be expected when you’re overly anxious 4. You’re panicky and easily startled. Anxiety makes you want to be as in control and vigilant as possible. An unexpected phone call, a random knock on the door, an email with no subject, or a forgotten task you can easily finish. Anything is enough to send you reeling with panic. You go into a tailspin whenever something catches you off-guard and you find it hard to relax even when the smallest things don’t go exactly as planned. 5. You’re indecisive. Do you have trouble making even the simplest of choices? Are you afraid of making up your mind about something because you’re so sure that whatever decision you make is gonna be the wrong one? Oftentimes, anxiety can manifest as perfectionist tendencies, fear of failure, or distrust in oneself. If you can’t make your own choices without thinking about it for hours and hours first or consulting with all your friends and family, you might be harboring some hidden anxiety. 6. You overthink past conversations. You tend to get hung up on past conversations no matter how much time has passed since then. You analyze the other person’s body language, facial expressions, choices of words, and even the tone of their voice. You can’t help but think about what you should have done or said instead and it drives you crazy and keeps you on edge every time you remember it 7. You’re always making yourself busy It’s common for people with anxiety to have a strong need to keep themselves busy They’d like to occupy themselves with simple tasks and do as many things as possible in a day because sitting still and doing nothing for a long time can make them feel restless and on edge 8.  You talk yourself down all the time. Life isn’t always kind to us and self-love and a balanced lifestyle don’t come easily. Living with anxiety, especially if it’s hidden or suppressed, can make it hard for us to feel good about ourselves and let ourselves feel happy. It makes us believe that we don’t deserve it and traps us in a vicious cycle of negative self-talk and constant pressure to be perfect. 9. You have a lot of negative thoughts. Are you a pessimist who is quick to find the downsides in every situation? Do you find yourself getting upset or stressing out over even the most minor inconveniences? Is every day a constant battle with yourself against the spiral of panicked and rational thoughts you have? In 1997, famed psychologist and cognitive therapist, Aaron Beck, termed this kind of thought pattern as catastrophic thinking, Which he often observed in his patients who suffered from anxiety. And 10. You experience physical symptoms. Sometimes anxiety can be entirely physical because while your conscious mind may not always be aware of your anxiety it will make itself known to your body. Things like erratic heartbeats, chest palpitations, muscle tension, a clenched jaw, shaky hands up a sweating are all indicative of anxiety. Your body may be trying to let your mind know that you’re feeling anxious and stop it before it gets any worse. Do you relate to any of the problems listed here? Or do you do your best to seem ok? And hide your symptoms because you feel embarrassed about your anxiety? The truth is: you’re not alone and having mental health issues is nothing to be ashamed of. What do you plan to do next? Let us know in the comments below!

9 Things Social Anxiety Makes Us Do

 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.

10 Signs of Hidden Anxiety

 According to the American Psychological Association People with anxiety have a future-oriented fear which leads them to avoid anything that could potentially trigger a stress response. In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that approximately forty million people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders that are highly treatable but recent surveys show that only 36.9% of those suffering from it seek treatment This might be because most people with anxiety worry about the judgment of others and how the stigma against mental illness might negatively affect their lives. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you worry you might be suffering from anxiety and just don’t realize it? Here are ten tell-tale signs of hidden anxiety to look out for. 1. You don’t like talking to people face to face. You can easily keep a conversation going for hours when you’re texting or chatting online with a friend but talking to someone in person… No… That’s an entirely different story. Even if you already know them well or have talked to them online you still get tense and nervous talking to them in person You have trouble making eye contact or finding the words to respond and you want to end face-to-face conversations as soon as they begin to 2. You’re always self-conscious. Do you walk into a room and immediately feel like everyone is staring at you, listening to you, and judging your every move? Or perhaps you’re overly conscious of the way you walk, the way you eat, the way you sit, the sound of your voice when you talk and so on This could be a sign that you have hidden anxiety 3. You’re easily upset or irritated. Has anyone ever told you you’re too sensitive? Do you find your feelings getting hurt easily? Are you quick to get angry or upset with others over the littlest things? This kind of emotional volatility may be a sign that you have high-functioning anxiety. As anxiety can often make us easily overwhelmed and emotionally imbalanced, frequent mood swings, temper tantrums, and irritability can be expected when you’re overly anxious four. You’re panicky and easily startled. Anxiety makes you want to be as in control and vigilant as possible. An unexpected phone call, a random knock on the door, an email with no subject, or a forgotten task you can easily finish. Anything is enough to send you reeling with panic. You go into a tailspin whenever something catches you off-guard and you find it hard to relax even when the smallest things don’t go exactly as planned. 5. You’re indecisive. Do you have trouble making even the simplest of choices? Are you afraid of making up your mind about something because you’re so sure that whatever decision you make is going to be the wrong one? Oftentimes, anxiety can manifest as perfectionist tendencies, fear of failure, or distrust in oneself. If you can’t make your own choices without thinking about it for hours and hours first or consulting with all your friends and family, you might be harboring some hidden anxiety. 6. You overthink past conversations. You have a tendency to get hung up on past conversations no matter how much time has passed since then. You analyze the other person’s body language, facial expressions, choices of words, and even the tone of their voice. You can’t help but think about what you should have done or said instead, and it drives you crazy and keeps you on edge every time you remember it seven. You’re always making yourself busy It’s common for people with anxiety to have a strong need to keep themselves busy They’d like to occupy themselves with simple tasks and do as many things as possible in a day because sitting still and doing nothing for a long time can make them feel restless and on edge 8. You talk yourself down all the time.  Life isn’t always kind to us, and self-love and a balanced lifestyle don’t come easily. Living with anxiety, especially if it’s hidden or suppressed, can make it hard for us to feel good about ourselves and let ourselves feel happy. It makes us believe that we don’t deserve it and traps us in a vicious cycle of negative self-talk and constant pressure to be perfect. 9. You have a lot of negative thoughts. Are you a pessimist who is quick to find the downsides in every situation? Do you find yourself getting upset or stressed out over even the most minor inconveniences? Is every day a constant battle with yourself against the spiral of panicked and rational thoughts you have? In 1997, famed psychologist and cognitive therapist, Aaron Beck, termed this kind of thought pattern as catastrophic thinking, which he often observed in his patients who suffered from anxiety. And 10. You experience physical symptoms. Sometimes anxiety can be entirely physical because while your conscious mind may not always be aware of your anxiety it will definitely make itself known to your body. Things like erratic heartbeats, chest palpitations, muscle tension, a clenched jaw, shaky hands up sweating are all indicative of anxiety. Your body may be trying to let your mind know that you’re feeling anxious and stop it before it gets any worse. Do you relate to any of the problems listed here? Or do you do your best to seem ok? And hide your symptoms because you feel embarrassed about your anxiety? The truth is: you’re not alone and having mental health issues is nothing to be ashamed of. What do you plan to do next?

8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To

 (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.

9 Things Social Anxiety Makes Us Do

 (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 a must. 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. 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 in feeling 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 For those who prefer to text, avoiding phone calls is a fairly common behavior for people with social anxiety. Psychologist, Lindsay Sharfstein told Headspace, that 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, and 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 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.
