Thank you all so much for all of your beautiful messages of support below and for sharing your own personal stories about anxiety and mental health. I am so proud of this amazing community we are growing and how brave and vulnerable you are being. Love you xxx
We love you too
You're awesome
I relate so much Jess! I have social anxiety and ADHD and a bunch of physical health issues (nothing terribly serious just heart and lung probs). Now that I'm in my sophomore year in highschool and I barely know anyone in my class and work is piling up I have had even worse anxiety. However, your vids have helped me get thru the first month, I still struggle with concentrating with my ADHD but u have helped motivate me to try my hardest to sit down and concentrate on studying and not procrastinating/getting overwhelmed. I can't thank u enough Jess ur amazing ILY
This is definitely not an easy topic to talk about but I really hope that this helps people to feel more supported, understood and less alone. Thank you to everyone for giving me the opportunity to talk about such an important topic and something that has shaped me to be who I am today. Also, I don't want you guys to worry. I am ok but I felt it was time I opened up and shared this with you all. xx Lots of love
Study With Jess your videos help me feel better💕💜😊
Study With Jess thank you so much for sharing❤️ it's nice to know that i'm not alone
Study With Jess this is really phenomenal.. God bless
this video helped me as i have anxiety quite bad and have hid it for so long now its amazing to know that someone i look up to is going through the same thing as me THANK YOU!
Where are the boxes on your shelves from?? - the ones behind u btw❤️❤️
I don't think most of people around me understand my anxiety because I'm very positive person and a lot of times I'm very happy but when I feel anxious it's horrible feeling. I think that people sometimes think that you can see someones anxiety all the time but the reality is very diferent and most of people don't know that I have anxiety
Mia Bradić i completely understand you, I feel exactly the same - I'm that one super happy, positive friend, and yet sometimes I can get really bad anxiety, and no one knows :/ you're not alone! :)
Bonnie it's good to know that there are people out there who have the same expirience as you and understand what you're going trough
Same here. I'm a very happy and positive person in general and nearly everyone thinks that I really have my life together. But in reality I have these bad moments when I have anxiety an also very bad panic attacks.
But we are not alone!
same with me
stay strong! idk if you're Christian but God loves you and I relate to this...hang in there!!
I have anxiety. I also suffer from panic attacks it's horrible
tiff life same it's horrible
tiff life Yes my too is horrible I have about two a day
tiff life I have anxiety also and i have to take pills
Same for me and people don't understand 😔
Indescriptible

Hi Jess,
Thank you for sharing your experience with anxiety! Seriously, your story resonates with me so strongly because my experience has been so similar. I'm now in my second year of university, but back in high school I knew before I could identify it, that I was a fairly anxious person, especially in terms of social situations. In my last year of high school I was doing so well, getting top marks in my classes and excelling, but all the while I was battling really hard everyday with these anxious feelings! I think my anxiety really manifested itself through physical shaking, feeling breathless and sweating unnecessarily (even in the dead of winter).
I got to the point in my last year of high school where I was so anxious everyday that it drained my energy slowly bit by bit. I had tons of opportunities offered to me by my school because of my achievements but my anxiety pushed so hard on me that I lost a lot of them - to the point where I was too anxious to get out of my house to go to one of my end of year exams. I think my anxiety led the way to depression where I just couldn't function and didn't want to function anymore.
Why your story resonates with me also is that I too, also went to see a psychologist. I was so happy to hear you share that part because there really does seem to be some kind of stigma there that shouldn't be. My time seeing a psychologist for about a month or two was amazing - my anxiety the first day going there almost paralysed me, but once I was in there, I realised how much I had been keeping in!
I definitely agree with something like this, it's something you deal with constantly and are constantly growing with and learning from. I can say I have never gone back to the place I was at in my last year of high school, but it definitely hasn't disappeared.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing! You're amazing! 💕💕
Thankfully I have never experienced anxiety in my life. However, for all those who experience anxiety, I'll tell you that I truly feel that you are some of the strongest and most beautiful people out there and to remember that you are not alone in your challenges and to stay strong. There is always something out there to help you so stay hopeful!
Thanks, it means a lot to me!
You're welcome. What I said is what I meant!
I have anxiety attacks every day, sometimes up to 3. They are the worst thing a person could have to deal with. Mine case my heart to skip beats, which then leads to me thinking i'm having a heart attack, then that makes the attack worse. It's an endless cycle. I'm so glad you made this video,i'm not the only one who goes through this on a daily, and someone understands.
I struggle with OCD which has massively impacted my studies and I watch your videos thinking I'm never going to be able to manage as well as you do so thank you for sharing, makes me feel hopeful :)
I struggle with OCD as well, I totally understand xx
Rachel Edwards Love and hugs to you! I went to group therapy today after a bad weekend when I missed work because of my OCD. But it's okay to take a few steps back sometimes, we shouldn't beat ourselves up. Easier said than done but we got this 😊 xx
Thank you so much, love and hugs to you as well! I'm sorry to hear about your weekend but I hope things are a little better for you now - I understand how it can feel frustrating but you're exactly right, it's an ongoing struggle and that's totally okay. I wish you all the best :) xx
I think I understand what you are going through, I send you my support xoxo!
I also struggle with OCD. Totally get what you're going through. 💜
Dear Jess,
My name is Nea, I'm a 20 years old Spanish uni student.
This video moved me so much, maybe is because I can relate to your story.
I suffered bullying rom the age off 12 to the age of 18-19. Even though I always felt a bit sad and a it "jumpy" I didn't give any importance to it until I turned 16, that year, my grandad died suddenly, I got into this awful depression, which I'm still getting treatment for, but that depression turned into a very hard case of anxiety when I started to get threats from a classmate.
I'm getting pills to help me be a bit more stable, and I go to therapy twice a week, but having a diagnoses makes it real it becomes a fact, that I suffer depression, I have an anxiety disorder and social agoraphobia. And watching this video, seeing how you give a voice to people that feel the same way, means the world to me, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Lots of love,
Nea
Thank you so so much for this. I can relate so much to this, especially feeling like an inconvenience. I feel like it comes in waves, sometimes I feel calm and other times anything could send me into being a nervous wreck. It's SO nice to hear someone talk about it. Xx
Thanks Jess for sharing. I have on and off depression. I feel like it's very important to know that you're not okay and accept the fact rather than denies it. Then, you have to do something abt it. Seek help and don't just bury the feelings down. Yes we have our happy side but we're human and perfectly imperfect as you said 😘❤️
I'm so happy you shared this!! I'm in my 3rd year of college and your videos have helped me get through it. I have symptoms of anxiety, depression and ptsd which made my college experience a bit difficult and caused me to consider even dropping out because I was so scared I wouldn't be able handle it due to my mental health but I'm so proud to say that with the help of my friends, family and CZcamsrs like you I've done amazing and have grown so much since my freshman year!! I now have 3.8 gpa! I even help my friends with their studies and might be getting a job on campus soon which is something I never thought possible!!!! So thank you for being you!!
Thank you for sharing this Jess! I have anxiety and it's really started effecting me lately as I'm about to finish my last year of high school. I've been putting a lot of pressure of myself to do really well at school, but I've found my anxiety is stopping me from handing in any work. You've given me the courage to own my anxiety and tell my teacher about how sometimes I get anxiety.
I'm very nervous to start secondary (middle school in america ,( highschool in austrailia), because i don't have any of my close friends with me and i am feeling that i am starting to get anxiety and when i went on my taster day ( a day where you visit your new school ) i felt very uncomortable and when i came back home i came back crying because i was and i still am about being late then getting detention , getting detention, getting in trouble by the teachers , teachers not liking me , stressing about homework , not waking up for school early and not making any friends . I don't ever have anxiety alot and i think it is going to affect other people i love . You are very strong Jess and you are such a inspiration to me , all the viewers and all your subscribers . Thank you for giving your time for other people to help them through hard time.
I LOVE you SOOOOOOOOO much,
Love your biggest fan ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Jess. Here is a girl who is facing anxiety and panic since 6th grade. The unique gift that anxiety has given me and you is understanding and compassion which is worth anything. Embrace it and BE CONTENT. Count the uncountable blessing that u have in life. Remember that there are people in this world wishing to have a life like u. We r blessed. We r gonna land on something special. What for it with a beautiful patience. Let's Be thnakful. Feel my warm LOVE dearie!
Hi Jess! It's Lizzie. Just wanted to let you know that I'm really thankful for your little video here. I myself have been suffering from anxiety, and like you I tracked back and I realized that since Primary School, I was nervous about everything, but I hid it. Or more like I was clueless as to what was going on. Fast forward 7 years later, I got badly Bullied in Secondary School and everyday was dreadful. I had a lot of Meltdowns and Heart Palpiltations, and panic attacks. Every morning felt like hell, and I want able to get out of bed.
Till now, nothing much has changed, but to see this videos out on CZcams, genuine and sincere, just gives me the inspiration to keep on going. I just recently found you around 2 weeks ago, in fact I subscribed just yesterday!! But I want to let you know that the few videos of yours I've watched have been super helpful and motivational! Let me be real for a second, I really am grateful for your content. Thanks for being so sweet in what you do. Know that you have really inspired me to try to climb up to the 'A' I haven't experienced in years.
The nervousness / crappy feelings really wash me over every time I think of studying, retaining and failing comes to my mind because my mental health has been so bad that my academics sunk. But your stuff makes me push on. A very big thankful. I've been using this word the whole time, but I can't really find a word better than that because I'm filled with gratitude. Hehehhehe
Wew, this has been a really long comment, and I've gotta go now. Just wanted to tell you I'm looking up to you, and continue shining and inspiring us all. We're super grateful
I get anxious too and when I do I feel like breathing is hard en my heart starts racing and I start shaking and what not, and sometimes I push those feelings away and push through with whatever it is that makes me anxious and after seeing your video, I know that it's the right thing to do because eventually it'll help me take control over myself again!
Thank you so much for sharing this and making me feel like I'm not alone with my feelings and experiences, you're truly an amazing and admirable person 💛
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. It really means a lot for me. Honestly, I also have my personal story that affects my life and I really would like to talk about that topic more openly, so that my friends know how I feel...but there is the fear how they will respond and that they judge me. So you can really be proud of yourself!
Wow Jess I never even suspected this about you! It's really reassuring and inspiring to learn that even people like you who always seem so happy and positive struggle with feeling very anxious and sad sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I really believe it will help a lot of people facing similar situations including myself :) ❤️
One of the reasons why your videos are such a help to all of us is that you can totally relate to it and you have been in such situations 💕 Anxiety honestly is something i also find difficult to deal with at times you know the kind of feelings you get in your stomach and you are unable to figure out the reason of it, that feeling is horrible! But the good thing is you have people with you to calm you down during that time be it your family or friends 💁🏻 but love you Jess! You totally rock and never fail to inspire us, bring a smile on our face through your videos ❤️ hope you read this, with much love 💕💕
Well done for sharing this Jess. I'm very proud of you and its great you want to share to make others not only understand but that you will be there for them and that you want to make others not feel so alone xx
I rarely comment but wanted to say I've never come across a video that I've related to so much! Thank you for sharing, it was so encouraging to hear your story. I find that the best way to deal with my anxiety is to never let it stop me from doing the things I love. Also, to keep reminding myself that these feelings will pass; they always have before and they will again. Please keep us updated in the future with how you're doing ❤️
Thank you for posting this. It's a brave but important thing to talk about. I suffer from a lot of mental health issues (panic disorder, social anxiety, mdd, bpd and am recovering from anorexia) and it's had a huge impact on my studies. I had to take a year off and almost didn't go back because I was so overwhelmed. Anxiety over achieving at uni definitely contributed. Hearing from someone who has done well in their studies and in life despite having mh issues gives me hope.
I felt like that too and I suffered from panic attacks a month ago. Unfortunately, it is a bad experience often caused by a change. But everything is over, sooner or later. I was trembling, I did not sleep and I had tachycardia, but I had to try to calm down and understand myself. Be strong guys!
You are very brave for coming out and talking about this :) I wish more people were more open and accepting of mental health struggles. I have been dealing with mental health 'issues' for close to 3 years now (now that I look back on my life, it's much longer than that but it became a problem in 2015). I have absolutely no problem saying that I have been seeing a psychologist for about 2 and a half years now. Nothing to be ashamed of :) Sometimes we just need extra help learning to deal with our struggles. I think people who don't even have "mental health" struggles could benefit from talking to a counselor/psychologist! It's helped me SO SO SO much. At first I thought I had anxiety and depression, and while I still have those feelings, I actually discovered this year that I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder for those who don't know). It was a bit of a shock but I'm learning to deal with it and will probably continue to do so for a long time. But it gets easier as we all talk about it and accept each other. :)
Just from me to you. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS 💛 This was extremely helpful and I can't truly express the love I have for this message. Thank you for sharing the beam of light. You've highlighted the good points that sometimes I tend to oversee. And I think it's safe to say that we're all very grateful and happy for this. Thank you, Jesse. You've reminded us that every person has been gifted with the ability to overcome, to move beyond obstacles and to clearly see blessings even when they are masked as hardships.
Also, I think very highly of you. I see that you've developed strength. You have been gifted a wonderful and kind heart. Remember that you are never alone 🌟💛🌷🌈🌸🍋 may God bless you and your family (and Adam!).
Thank you, Jess. I'm feeling overwhelmed lately, I have panic attacks due to my last exams at uni. I'm really close to one of the biggest goals in my life, which is my master degree in law, but at the same time it's like I'm getting far from it, as the time passes.
This helped me a lot to deal with my anxiety.
You're such a sweet person.
Thank you
The way you handle/handled all the situations you've been, turning this problem into something that can be used to good, it's so inspiring. I have anxiety at a very high level since I was a kid, but ever since I started college this year, it's been getting worse. Seeing you talking about this, with so much honesty has made me feel better; like,. Someone out there, that don't even know me, knows exactly how I feel. Thank you for this. I wish all the best to your channel, all the best to your life, and that one day we- not only you and me, but everyone that goes through problems related to mental health- can look back one day, and be proud of who we became and how we overcome our problems. All the love. 💛 ps: I'm sorry if I made any mistakes writing this, im not a native speaker.
I also have anxiety as well. I think a lot of people have it and might not realize it too. Sometimes we can have anxiety attacks for no reason at all and I think that's the most frustrating or when you can't just stop overthinking about everything or nervous. The fear of the unknown sucks when you have anxiety and even more so when people don't understand it or if you constantly second guess yourself about certain things. Good luck to you and just breathe!
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad. -Proverbs 12:25❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, Jess! I would like you to know that I watched your video to the end! I am so sorry that you went through that rough patch in your life feeling like nobody would understand.😕 I can't physically do anything to help you, but I want you to know that along with me, many of your fans support you. I am not going to say I can ride along with you in this because mentally, I don't know what you are going through.😕 I will watch all of your videos beginning to end and like them all. Love your videos! I subscribed!!!!!xoxo 💙💙💙
Hi Jess! I'm a silent viewer but today I wanted to thank you more than ever for an incredible video. I could identify 100%! I've been through the same stuff, and only travelling and doing the things I feared the most brought me to where I'm now. I'm happily living with my boyfriend in Spain something I could never have imagined. I'm German and I went to Spain for an exchange program 3 years ago. I suffered from panik attacks and anxiety and the fact that I would be away from home for 1 year made me freak out. But in the end I thought that it would be the same if I get panik attacks at home or in Spain, I always felt helpless in these moments so it would be the same. And in the end everything is perfect! :) So to all the people who suffer from anxiety and panik attacks: it's possible to live a life without any restrictions!!!
So I struggle with Anxiety & im in Year 7. I have 2 serious phobias, Autophobia- the fear of never being loved and anthropophobia- the fear of Society and people, these 2 phobias mess with my Anxiety making it stronger. This video has inspired me and helped me and I love you so much and I'm so happy that someone has related to my problems, keep grinding😭💓💓💓
YOU are my inspiration I want to be like you, I live in Australia too and it would mean the world to me if you responded
First of all it's really nice that you tell us something like this. I always get so nervous if I have to presentate to the class and it doesn't matter about what subject I just can't do it. So if you would like to make a video with tips and tricks about how it goed better it would really help me so much. And I really like your jacket and I really respect you that you did this❤
I know how hard it must have been for you to share this but I really wanted to thank you for doing it anyway because it is something that I deal with pretty often and sometimes knowing that you are not alone just helps a lot and makes you feel that little bit better that allows you to be strong and go on with your life anyway. I am personally dealing with social anxiety and seeing a psychologist really helped me identify what I had and what I might need to do to making my life a little easier. If anyone seeing this comment is dealing with something similar I just wanted to say that you are way stronger than you think and you can deal with anxiety and fight it without making it destroy your life. Be strong and eventually it will pass I promise
Jess, I fully understand what your going through. When I started high school I didn't make friends easily and was alone for about a month it was horrible! But then I found your channel and within a week I had made 2 of my best friends for life, they support like you do Jess. I really enjoy your content and advice, please keep making inspiring videos because they help people like me! We love you Jess x
That's the first time i'm comenting on your video because i really need to say that to you. I've anxiety to and i understand what you're saying cuz i feel the same. I get really nervous when i start thinking about my future(i think things like "what if i fail?"). My anxiety started one year ago when i started high school (i'm 17 years old now). I had had my physics test and i felt so nervous after that cuz the test was really hard and i thought i would have a bad grade. So i was eating and i felt a strange feeling on my throat (like it had a knot) and i felt hot, but then cold. I thought i was sick and i tell my mum i needed to go to The hospital. After my classes i went to the hospital and the doctor said it was anxiety. I didn't know what it was and i really didn't want to do a research about that cuz i was scared.
On the next day i felt the same feeling but at all times. I started to felt my heart beating super fast and i become too much scared. So i told my mum and she told my situation to the school's phychologist and then i Went to her office and she gave me solutions for my anxiety and i felt so much better.
But one month latter i felt anxious again and i was so bad that i went to the hospital again. Now i've medicines and I'm so much better! But sometimes i have my break downs too. But that's normal. Now i still have my medicines and i think I'm going to do breathing exercises every day 😊
So now that i told my story, i need to tell you that i love your videos cuz they help me a lot!
thanks for the support and for sharing your story too! That helped me and i'm sure somepeople! Thanks! 💖💖
Love you and your vids!! So much love from Portugal (and sorry for my mistakes i'm a little bad at english 😂) bye 💕😘
I'm struggling with really bad anxiety and sometimes I feel alone ,this video helped xd
I have teribble panic attacks for over a year.I am studying electrical engineering, i've always been a great student but engineering is very hard and i am very behind. When it started i thought i was having a heart attack, the night before an important exam at the university. Now they are few and they never happen when i am ''stressed'' ,when i have a deadline, when i am sitting an exam. They happen when i am trying to relax, when i am out, in the movies, shopping... And they are uncontrollable, you never know when they are going to happen.. I really understand anyone going through something so intense! And having people around you who understand or trying to understand you is the most important thing. I can;t keep hearing ''relax '' or '' you are doing this on purpose'' or ''you are selfish and can't deal with failure that's why you're getting this''
Please jess make videos about how to deal with it, how to make it more rare, or how to learn to live with it.
And thank you for sharing this video, now i respect and admire you even more.
Thank you so much for sharing this Jess. You are such a positive light in my life and I watch your videos to lift me up on my worst days. I've been going through depression and anxiety for a long time, and I find people like you help me feel good and inspire me to keep living as best as I can. 💖❤️xxx
This video has came at the right time to me, I have anxiety and I haven't told anyone about it. And these past 2 weeks my anxiety has taken over me, and your video has make me feel better ❤️
Thank you so much, Jess 💕
Here are two verses for every person with anxiety that i think are comforting and i hope that all who read this draw some comfort and instruction from them. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Ket you requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
I'm so happy that you shared this with us.I have anxiety and panic attacks every time I have to deal with something.I am a person who packs everything inside and that's the reason for my anxiety...Thank you so much.I feel like I can overcome this problem now!I will try harder!😊
I get anxious before exams (especially Math exams) even if I have a good preparation. Sometimes I start shaking and I feel like i can't breath.
Thank you for being so brave as to make this video. What annoys me us that some people in my year day they have anxiety jokingly, like anxiety isn't a trend or a cool thing to have! Love you jess you're really inspiring
LOVE YOU JESS! 😘😘 you're such an inspiration to me 😍😍😍💯💯💯
Hi jess, I can totally relate to this video, I also suffer with anxiety when I'm traveling or sitting an exam or going out with my friends. I want to just say that I find you a mentor now, I found your channel about 5 Months ago and watching your videos has made become a better person than what I was, I also study psychology right now I find it hard and I start having panic attacks in class. Thank you for making me better person in life. Your really an amazing person and your videos really make me feel better in life. Thank you so much.
Jess, I completely understand what you went through! It's almost weird.. like everything you're describing has happen to me before. Like the feeling of suffocating and the boyfriend who doesn't support you ans seems to don't undersant what you're going through. I feel like I love you and your videos even more now that I know we have this in common. I still deal with my anxiety problem every single day and sometimes it's hard because I feel like nobody understand me. But today, I feel like somebody really understands me. I have suffer from severe anxiety since my first day of school when I was 5 years old. When I was 16, I have been hospitalized in the child psychiatry department for 5 weeks and that's when I understood I really had a problem. In the past, I have tried 2 times to commit suicide because anxiety took all the joy and all the energy out of my life, and I thought that nothing would ever change. Today, I'm in university in psychology and I'm so proud of what I've become. I chose psychology because I want to help others the way I have been helped and because I think it helps me to understand myself. Thanks for sharing your story Jess. And I hope that seeing other people dealing with this issue, just like you, will help you just the way you helped me today ❤️ xoxo (disclamer: I speak French so I'm sorry if there's some mistakes or if you have issues reading my text)
Notification squad were you at? And we love you Jess✨❤️!!
Mahi Kar Ray Herree!!
Thank you jess for sharing your story! I don't talk about anxiety with anyone but you helped me a lot as I have the same problem with traveling. Like you said it sounds crazy that you have a great vacation planned and you don't want to go bc of the anxiety. I'm so glad you talked about this and it has really helped me.
Thank you for making this video Jess :) It feels so good for you to put into words some of the things I have been feeling lately and it really helps to know that it's okay to talk about it x
"I won't let anxiety stop me from achieving my goals": I think this is a really powerful and true statement we should all learn from. Anxiety has no power over us and we are capable of overcoming it because it's worth getting to the other side. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your experience!
I wish the world had more people like you, you are so sweet and talk about mental health and stuff and understand that everyone has their issues. I have been diagnosed with IBS last year. My life has changed a lot since then. I get nervous when I have to go out of my house and I'm so afraid that something will go wrong. Living with IBS made me feel so bad about myself and I got so sad and afraid of everything. Today, I still am afraid of going somewhere new. I notice I can handle things better but I'm starting college and I'm freaking out. I don't know how to stay calm anymore. I also deal with the people in my surroundings not understanding what I'm going through. So I'm so glad you made this video, it calmed me down a bit and I feel less stressed. By the way, do you have any tips to stay calm during those nervous situations? I want to say thank you for making this video and making me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you Jess!! xx
i'm so glad i watched this video! Jess, you're an amazing human being ❤️ thank you for sharing your story with us! and, for everyone who is reading this comment and struggles with similar problem (like Jess and like me, too) - I hope you're having an amazing day and don't let your anxiety ruin it, just slow down a bit if you need to and I hope everything will work out and be okay ✨
Hey Jess, thank you so much for this video. It really helps me a lot. I'm 16 and I felt shame of having anxiety that young. Being a popular girl in high school I chose to I bottled it up until something happened. When I was having my last final I was highly anxious and I ran out of the classroom. Just then my teacher told my parents what happened and I also told my best friend. Unexpectedly I received a lot of support. I was really touched by it. Although most of my classmates still think I were just not feeling well like having a stomach.
It's really good to know that I'm not alone. I'm still being confused of managing anxiety but i really appreciate it. Anxious can also affect teenage not only adult. Anyway I wish I could see more video of metal health from you. Love you xoxo
I love this video, nobody is alone, share stories, spread love!!
Thank you so much ! I have also felt like this at times, and have to really talk myself through it. As you said it seems to happen when I am stressed or not having time for myself.
I completely relate to this. I get anxious about a lot of things, which stems from my PTSD. One of the things anxiety keeps me from doing is spending the night anywhere except my own home. It's really difficult at my age to have that fear but I don't know how to overcome it, it scares me so much.
I can absolutely relate to all of what u said ... I also suffer from anxiety and had several anxiety attacks , I know how hard they can be and it can happen for the silliest reasons but in your head it is big and stressful , I also went to a psychiatrist and discovered I had a personality disorder called borderline and anxiety co exist with it and I have been getting treatments for 8 years now and recently since a couple of years I am getting better and better so it is just as you say it makes u a better person and to grow and it shapes ur personality and who u are , mental illnesses have a great blessing in disguise as u said it changes u and ur way of thinking and makes u stronger more generous more supportive smarter , my mental illness was a big blessing for me it totally shaped my personality and made it a lot better and made different in a good way .
I love ur courage to talk about it like this and how u see it as a blessing and opportunity to grow as it is really that , I wish that u get better and better and learn more how to manage ur anxiety and after years of therapy I am telling it is going to happen and as u enter ur 30s all of ur anxiety or any mental issues and as u work on them they become less intense and u start to ripe their benefits and blessings . Wish u a lot of luck and happiness and to continue to learn , embrace change and grow :) :* :*
I wanna add that ur videos changed my daily habits and I always feel more positive and happy while watching u and after. I know how hard it is to fight all ur demons and appear a positive motivated happy person all the time but it is courageous and strong to do this and this is who u r :) keep going
I am currently fighting my own battle with anxiety so this did help.
thank you for this video. i had horrid anxiety for 3 years. i had such bad panic attacks i couldnt breathe and the blood vessels in my eyelids popped because i cried so hard. the best thing i did was go see a therapist. she helped me so much. i am doing so much better despite taking 4 AP classes this year because now i know how to handle stress
I'm not sure if it's just that people are more vocal about it or that it's affecting a lot of people (probably both), but it seems like the number of people who have anxiety or any other type of mental illness or mental health struggle has increased significantly. While it's good because it means there are more people who can empathise and are understanding, able to spread awareness etc. I wouldn't wish these things on anyone.
I have and have always had pretty severe social anxiety. I was just always labelled as "shy" or "quiet" which is really common for people with SA The majority of people I know don't know this and I really doubt I'll ever tell them because they're not as accepting of mental illness. Might give it time and hope that there's less of a stigma. I used to be pretty depressed too during high school, to the point of self harm and thoughts of suicide. I'm not in high school anymore and I'm glad for that but it's a lot harder to cope with social anxiety as an adult since you're expected to be able to do everything on your own and I just can't. Funny thing is, during high school all the way until the end, I wanted to study psychology or social work to help people but I can't even talk to strangers so what gives.
My parents didn't allow me to study whatever I wanted so I ended up doing two years of uni studying a degree I hated. Ended up dropping out and starting a new one and I'm really stressed. It's feels so overwhelming, all I do is stay home and study. I don't have a social life because of my anxiety and the degree I'm currently doing is harder for me than my last so I have hardly any spare time to relax, always feeling like I need to be studying more to just be average. Feel close to burning out and it's barely been a month. No clue what to do. It's seemingly impossible to get a job too. I don't know what I'm doing. I kind of feel like I should drop uni altogether and get a tafe cert or something so I can try to get a job. More likely that I'll just suffer through this though
/sigh Well, rant over.
Thank you Jess for sharing this video. I can definitely relate to you. I have gone through such experiences in my life. I discovered your channel in the first year of my college life. Since then you have always inspired me. Thank you for being you and wanting to inspire all of us.
Thank you for being open, honest, and vulnerable Jess with us. I empathize with you as I suffer from stress, panic attacks, and anxiety-related issues.
Jess, I've adored your videos for years now and this video made you even more of a hero to me. I have anxiety and I have a service dog that helps me be a normal university student. But thank you for all your kind words and videos that have helped me battle my anxiety!
I deal with anxiety as well and when i get nervous I can not speak, focus and I get some kind of a rush and my body won't stop itching:( It's one thing to explain how you feel to your family, boyfriend, girlfriend etc and a completly different thing to explain it to your teacher, professor, or your boss, which makes my life so much complicated bc everyone things I'm just ~useless~ and it makes my anxiety even worse :( sometimes when something really scares me my brain will literally delete this information and i often forget about things, different hings like meetings, exams etc.
One time i got so anxious in the class i forgot how a ruler works and I wasn't able to measure a simple thing....:(
I have been living with depression, and I'm on pre diabetes also I was diagnosed with a mental illness after being given birth around 1998. Also as things are starting to change for me, I feel different even though I may be the same person. And remember a believing heart is your magic. In addition, accept the negativity the more you do will become something positive.
Relate relate relate. Doing my hsc and I completely relate. I feel like NSW hsc is so competitive and these feelings are so common
You are wonderful Jess , You are so inspiring! its really important to know what everyone feels and what they go through. you really an inspiring person Thank you so much Jess love you
Hey Jess! You are so so so strong and such a beautiful person
I can totally relate to your type of anxiety. I've gone through pretty much the same situations bc I always push myself to the edge. I'm now in year 12 and start learning to just do my best and just accept the result. I'm constantly nervous in school bc I'm scared I get chosen for an oral exam. Nothing bad ever happened to me and I always got very good grades, still I worry about it.
Somehow I always had the feeling that you might deal with anxiety, Idk why... just intuition I guess haha.
You're a wonderful, inspiring person jess. xxx
Thanks so much for this video Jess - I get where you're coming from, and I think I'm at a similar stage myself in that I'm trying to confront my anxiety and come to terms with them. It's not a frequent occurrence (for me), but it's nevertheless horrible to go through, and it has definitely taken a toll on me. Thanks for making an honest video - you and other CZcamsrs are my support group, and I'm grateful for everything you do :) DFTBA
This video is very helpful to me....bcz i need some positive vibes or positive persons around me to make me happy......actually m in depression....
I have anxiety and over the last 7 years I have managed to get it under control. I was just told that i will not receive any money for my last two semesters of college. So at first I was freaking out but....what helps is taking daily stress off of myself. Not procrastinating and taking care of things quickly. However, you seem pretty good with that. I have learned to have a eff it if it goes wrong attitude. Hope you learn how to manage your triggers though
I have anxiety. I isolated myself last summer but it gets better
Omgg I felt so scared at camp too! Thankyou for sharing!
I feel so much better after watching this, thank you 💙
Jess that was an amazing video ! It truly helped me a lot and made me realise I'm not the only one suffering from this ! You're a star for having the courage to post this video! Love you ❤️
I am going to grade 7 in 6 days and I am really nervous cause there are 1000 students there and right now I have stomach aches really often when I am nervous. None of my friends are going there.
Also once in 6 grade I was about to do a presentation but I was to nervous so I started to cry I couldn't just do it cause I feel like when I do presentations I feel like people are judging me by what I am saying how I look like so it makes me an introvert with a lot on insecurities.
Don't worry..I've been in that situation and honestly, it will all work out in the end. Just keep focused and try to talk nicely to everyone and even if you're not confident look and act like that. Also, try your best to make your best impression. (on my first day I was 30 minutes late to my Geo class and my teacher literally hated me because she hates people who aren't on time but then now she likes me a lot and even talks to me after 3 years).*so even if nothing is well now it will become better as long as you make right choices for yourself*.
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST! EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT!
Nikita Mandadapu Thank you soo much for the tips
I was in the same exact position on my first day of 7th grade, and I was very nervous too, but it's honestly all okay :) A lot of other kids will be in the same position as you, and I suggest that you try to find just one new friend because having someone to even just talk about your schedules and summer and all that is really helpful, reassuring, and nice that have because you'll then have a familiar face and friend to hang around with. I know it may seem scary, but try to go a little out of your comfort zone to meet new people because it makes a huge difference in the long run. Good luck on your first day!
Do not worry! Most students are going through what you're feeling. It's 100% normal. When I entered middle school I was feeling the same, but I held my head high and went through with it. It took me some time to adjust but I talked to everyone as well as teachers. Now, I will be entering my final year of high school and looking back, I realized that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. You can do it! Just relax and enjoy your first day.
Jess, i do enjoy your videos very much! I love getting inspired and motivated to study, which is not my favorite thing to do lol. And you have accomplished that inspiring, bubbly, fun channel that motivates others to want to try and do well. Thank you for that!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is so important. And this inspires me to share my thoughts and experiences with my own anxiety issues. Thank you for your channel. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you so much for this video, Jess. You have given me the encouragement that I needed to get some help and strategies for my anxiety.
Do not worry we all are with you. JESUS ❤️ YOU and God made all of us to have a journey and to grow with him.
I have generalized anxiety disorder. It's a horrid thing to deal with but I am getting better. You can do it! 💕
I am in a non imaginary situation but
I am still like happy girl I don't show my sadness to my family members and my friends
BE HAPPY IN EVERY CONDITION OF OUR LIFE..😊😊
I relate to this a lot, especially with putting to much pressure on myself. Although I don't know if I actually have anxiety, maybe at a small scale. Also I feel like there is nothing wrong with going and talk to a psychologist, to me it's actually a great thing and I believe it can be really helpful
This is such a great video and it opens up a really important discussion.
You are so incredible ! I'm so amazed by everything you've accomplished ! Thank you sooo much for making this video, it helps me so much ❤❤❤
I have extreme anxiety so much so I've been diagnosed with it as a disorder on top of that I wear glasses, hearing aids and potentially have ADHD! So Jess thank you so much for this video! It's made me feel better about myself 💛
Wow! Thank you for opening up about this. That must have been really challenging to have an unsupportive boyfriend. My fiancé has known about my anxiety for our entire relationship and he is incredibly supportive. I don't know where my anxiety would be if I didn't have someone who understood that it's often out of my control and it's not something I enjoy or would choose. Thank you for sharing!
Love you so much❤️ It will get better!🌈
You're so brave for posting this Jess! I'm so happy you found someone who accepts you and doesn't ignorantly shame you for something you can't control 💖
I thought it was strange that I would get horrible stomach aches when I got nerves, and I would also get super dizzy and shaky. I also have been taking medication for it since I was in 2nd grade. Thank you for sharing I feel like I'm not the only one😊
People see me as over dramatic, that I shouldn't be frustrated this often. My parents don't think I have anxiety. I KNOW I do.
I can feel it. Sometimes I'll get stressed over making my bed. Sometimes over homework. Even the tiniest things like if I'm behind on laundry. I'm not on medication
I suffer from anxiety as well. To this day, I can't talk on the phone or talk to a cashier. I work at night and I am nervous all day about work until I get there. Since I was young, I always was stressed about how people viewed me. I put myself through my first diet by age 5 because I thought I wasn't thin enough for people to like me.
Anyways... I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. Your video really cheered me up. :)
Don't worry jess we will help you!! ☺️😊
For me,în fifth grade (last year ) it was the first time when i didnt go with my mom in school trips of 1 day long. And at the end of year i went on my first school trip of 7 days. It was so .... awkward. I don't know how ti say.... I wasnt scared but i don't know....In my first trip without her i was also in another class. I knew already a girl and a boy.and i made some friends. But..m i just cried in myself. Without sound. Only for me. I was staying alone in the car. I was soooo scared. I just improved my silence crying. Now i do it much better cause i cry almost everyday because my parents get mad at me everyday. I don't think anyone understand me. I....I feel almost everyday that i am alone. With no one understanding me. My friends know but they cant understand me. I don't have anyone to understand me..... you wouldn't understand too.......mi just don't know how to eliberate myself ....
...I cant write anymore....
Jess you are literally so relatable. English is my best and favourite subject and I somehow am predicted an A. But I've had friends ask me why I get so nervous (so much so that I've been moved for my final exams) and it's always been super hard to explain. This was a really helpful and needed video. thank you xx
I don't really get anxious very much but I don't like change. I don't want to be starting from scratch when I go to high school (next Monday) and just letting go of my middle school friends (I had 3 good ones) and those feelings but at the same time, I do want to explore a new environment and what other people do for me and what I can do for them. Jess, while I don't have sort of an understanding, I highly commend you for making this vid and being so brave and lovely for the rest of us with this channel. I hope that you don't let this get in the way of your happiness and your new life with Adam (he seems so lovely) and if it's any help, I will be praying for you.
