The 7 Types of Anxiety Disorders - From Generalized Anxiety to Social Anxiety Disorder. Anxiety 6/30

I took a weed gummy, got too high and had a panic attack 13 months ago. I didn’t know at the time that I had a panic attack and I was going through the anxiety cycle. I thought I had fried my brain. It took me 6 months to realize that I was just going through anxiety. But my anxiety was so severe, I was having suicidal thoughts. Anyway long story short, I thank Jesus that he helped me through my anxiety journey. If you’re reading this stay strong, don’t lose hope. Also trust Jesus, because he gives hope to live.

Very god to know, I'd started to think of my anxieties as ingrained, it's a huge relief to know they're more mutable than that, something I'd felt but not been able to fully articulate!

I actually have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety but I cried hearing you said that it doesn't define me. That it isn't permanent. That I can be better. Thank you. I realize I also have a panic disorder! It comes and goes but most nights I have several severe panic attacks. I just assumed it was under the generalized anxiety disorder.

I have GAD, but I also have C PTSD. I believe my GAD is related to my C-PTSD from childhood & adult traumas. Although GAD runs in my family too. ( and lots of generational trauma).

Your video is so informative. I struggled with anorexia in college, but it wasn’t until years later after my mom died, and I started therapy that I realized I have anxiety, depression and how it all ties together waaaaay further back than I realized. CBT and medication have been incredible tools to help me finally live a fuller life.

I have learned more in the first 10 mins than in 6 sessions w a psychologist. My first experience w anxiousness came at age 6 when my [alcoholic] mother would not give my baby brother [ too young to turn over or lift his head ] a bottle and he was hungry. This was in 1954. I remember going to her and said the baby was crying and I thought he was hungry... she said she didn't feel well and turned her back to me in her bed. I was so anxious, I thought he would die if he didn't eat! I went to the refrigerator, warmed the bottle under hot running water and tested it on my wrist [ I didn't know how to work the stove and I saw my mother test the bottle on her wrist ]. I took the bottle and held my brother's head up through the crib bars [ I didn't know how to lower them ] and fed him. Then I turned him on his side bc I was too small to lift him up, and burped him. As the oldest of 5 of 2 alcoholics, I was their caregiver for the most part ... seeing they were fed, bathed and later on, helped w their homework, put to bed and dishes done while my parents frequented bars immediately after work and then on most weekends after lunch beginning at around age 8. I literally felt, for the most part, their well being depended on me. I was not allowed after school activities or friends to the house. I later, against most odds, got my Rn degree and went into geriatrics where the senior population is mostly forgotten about then to hospice to help grieving families and give patients the best quality of life while they were still living. I know no life without anxiety... had my 1st panic attack at age 19 while cleaning out my refrigerator... only have had 3-4 in my life and none while at work... I have SAD bc never really learned how to make or keep friends and parties and small talk make me anxious. I am sensitive to others' feelings and can get overwhelmed. I enjoy solitude and my own company. Ty for your videos, they are so informative.

Hello! Thank you very much! I cannot see a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist. And even if I could, they would tell me those same things you say and those same things I read in all those books. If I see professionals (like psychologists), they're gonna tell me what I already know. I don't want to pay someone so that they tell me what I already know... I'm not rich enough and it's complicated. And I believe it's 100 % possible for me to overcome panic disorder and agoraphobia without them. I did it once. In today's world, we can watch helpful videos (including yours) on YouTube. It wasn't possible several years ago. They're helpful. Their goal is to help people, and that's what they do. I'm stubborn and determined. I believe I can overcome those anxiety disorders. And then, it'll be a piece of cake 😄

Thank you very much Emma, ultimate therapist on youtube.

I'm super grateful to you for making this free.

I’ve been officially diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, so I know I have it. I’ve been struggling with high anxiety since college, it sucks.

Thank you for your videos Emma, they're making a big impact on my life. I learn so much, hence am so much more prepared to handle my own situations, plus responding and supporting people around me. Anxiety is truly one of the pandemics of our times. All the best

Psilocybin mushrooms healed me . I can't explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening . I also started micro dosing . It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety .

I think that I will never be cured of my mental disorder as I can't do anything in life : Not work, not going out, not study , didn't have a girlfriend, never went to parties and always living in terrible fear, derrealization, agoraphobia, nightmares and insomnia and no psychologist or psychiatrist has ever been able to heal me 😢 It is like living a never ending nightmare .

I've always struggled with selective mutism but didn't get diagnosed until this past year. I'm 31 so I've dealt with this with most of my life

I developed hypochondria about a year ago and man. I feel so ridiculous, but I can't help it anymore. And I don't know how to stop it, I don't know if there even is a way TO stop it. I haven't had healthcare since 2019, and since America sucks when it comes to taking care of its people, I can't afford to see doctors. So that's both contributing to my fears and preventing me from helping to end them. I used to be able to Google symptoms and make reasonable conclusions, and now I'm just the meme. ><

Your content is so invaluable to me, thank you so much and God bless you

You helped my husband and I understand eachother in your communication videos of being askers and guessers. Im so glad you’re putting these anxiety videos out. It helps me so much ❤❤❤

Emma thanks, I always remember you when I think I've misrepresented myself in front of others like over thinking what I've said or if I think I've made too much eye contact. It's just anxiety talking

Hey Emma, i really want you to talk about agoraphobia and panic attacks
