You are so insanely brave for coming on camera to talk about this. Especially the psychosis part because that's even more intense. I know you've helped out so many people with this video!! xx
She is a freak
I am extremely grateful for this video because not many youtubers talk about mental illness in the first place, but for you to talk about anxiety, panic attacks, AND psychosis is a big deal for me. I've actually been struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, psychosis, and depression for a few years now and psychosis is not talked about a lot here in the CZcams community and I just want to give out a big thank you for this video.

Anxiety is just constant/ prolonged extreme stress, not just about things that don't matter, but stressing constantly.
every time i feel like i'm having an anxiety attack or something worse i watch your videos, your voice calms me down so freaking much and gives me chills, and knowing that you got better motivates me to leave all this issues.
thank you so much for being an amazing human being, seriously thank you so much, i love you.
It takes a lot of courage to talk about this publicly.
Oh my, you're SO BRAVE telling us your story.

woah Nika that is really intense! you are so brave for going through that… and look at you now!! well done, girl. you now have a strength that not many others have.
Thank you. I cried soo hard during this video because I'm going through this at this time in my life. I have anxiety, depression and insomnia and slit of people seen to think that since it's not visible it's not there. Thank you for helping teach those who don't know and help inform them what to expect from people with these issues
Be strong! I am dealing with depression and it's really hard! Sending you my love and prayers
I am beyond proud of you and that part where you said: "I can actually enjoy life and it's so awesome" I cried. That was so beautiful. You're so strong and thanks for this video. Keep fighting love
I went through something like that when I was 10-11 years old and besides I had cumpulsive behaviour disorder. It really hurts when you have a mental illness and you feel alone and afraid to tell the world what's on. On the top of that it sucks when people think your life is amazing and you have no problem just because you're are not dying at a hospital or crying anxiously in front of them. Thank you Nikka for sharing your story you are such a beautiful person!
This was so eye-openeing. You're amazing! The mind is so powerful: the strength it used to cause these hallucinations was also used to get rid of them. You inspire me and I am so glad to know you are better. Now I'll never go one day without being grateful for my mental state.
You have done something so important i have been suffering from anxiety disorder and panic attack for a month now but you have done something so great
I know this is old video, but it is been such a blessing to me, i am going through extreme anxiety/OCD and right now it almost feels like there is no hope for me, thank you for sharing your story of recovery.😊
I remember when I discovered you because of this video. I just finished watching your 3 years after mental hospital video and I came back to this just to freaking cry my eyes out. I want to hug you so bad here, but oh my god am I proud. You've come so far.
ok sooo....your absolutely drop dead gorgeous!
I can relate to the anxiety so so much i couldn't even get up from bed because the sudden movement of getting up would increase my heart rate and would cause panic attacks . im better i still have anxiety but im getting better. Sending healing vibes your way love 💓
I cried a few times while watching this. While I don't experience psychosis or panic attacks, I did have depression as well and currently have social anxiety. I know how you feel and it's horrible. I hate the stigma associated with mental illness. I just hope people will come to understand that mental illness is just as serious as any physical illness.
I can understand a lot you went through. My father has anxiety...in fact the whole family on my father's side. I myself have mild anxiety. I've suffered from panic attacks when going for health checkups (but I always have it too late, like right after I get a vaccine or blood test lol)..and it just feels like I'm going to faint because everything in front of me goes black and my knees give out. I've broken down a lot over school work (like, SCREAM crying for hours it's ridiculous). I've also self-harmed. Everything I've said is a lot milder than your case though. I teared up watching this video. I'm just glad that you're making it through and you keep up such a bubbly and funny personality in your videos :)
Hopefully you can get through this stage and find a way to capture it and let it it go and free yourself from it. ( both of you guys) and this vid was a lesson that everyone should be grateful and so shall I.
I hope that you are feeling better :)
I have never been to a therapist so I don't want to automatically assume I have anxiety or the other things I am dealing with, but I just know something is wrong. It seems to me it's been a combination of factors for myself ranging from sadness to anger to stress and panic attacks almost everyday. My mom started to notice and has brought up ways to help (she asked me about a therapist) but I am too nervous to go so I don't believe that will happen anytime soon. I am still going and videos like these really help me with healthier coping methods (I love art and music so that helps me a lot) and it makes me feel good knowing other people are happy! Thank u Nika, I love u and your videos so much. You are so brace for sharing and I wish the best to u and everyone else! Xo💞
That is awesome that you are doing better. It is great to see others healing and getting their lives back, especially young people. However, I wanted to share some extra info with you that you didn't add in the video. Everything you have said is so helpful and really valuable for others. But there are some anxieties and stresses and depressions, etc., etc., that are actually literally as stressful and overwhelming as the situations causing them. For example, when I was having panic attacks, I was trying to keep up my University studies, work 2 jobs, cook and clean and was also being abused by my partner I was living with at the time, on a daily basis. My doctor (family physician), whom I had been a patient of since I was 8 years old, began seeing me once a week, after her shifts, for an hour each visit, because she was trying to help me figure out what I could do to change my situation and relieve the pressure. She actually said that I had more on my plate then she did when she was in med school. That is how bad it was. I was having attacks 2-3 times a day, broke out in shingles at age 23 (which only happens to middle aged people from stress. Dr. was very upset about this), couldn't sleep for 3 days at a time, even when in bed and exhausted and I started flunking in school for these obvious reasons. I am better now, but still healing and I'm 35 years old atm. I just wanted you to know that not all anxiety is worrying about things others wouldn't, because sometimes it is stuff that they would and do if any of these things are on their plate. Even if they are in a more comfortable position in life with these responsibilities. I hope you take this the way because I just wanted to give you a different perspective and broader view on the issue. Much love and thank you for speaking up and sharing with us your experience because it is truly helpful and each person willing to stand up and share their stories and knowledge makes this world a better place. Knowledge is power and freedom. :-)
Your story is so inspiring....I can't even imagine what you've been though, you have my complete respect. I'm dealing with OCD right now and it's really exhausting and draining. I'm seeing a therapist but I keep having relapses, even though I'm trying my absolute best to ignore the compulsions and obsessions. I started medication in march, but it isn't working, even after going up a dose. I live in constant fear of something bad happening to the people I love (I have no stereotyped OCD traits at all) I'm just sick of it all. The anxiety I get from the compulsions and obsessions makes me feel so guilty and upset that I can't stop myself from performing the rituals. Seeing where you're at now gives me so much hope, and I really look to you. I hope everything is getting better for you now, take it easy girl ❤
you are so brave for sharing this. thank you, nika. I'm sure you helped a lot of people. You are truly amazing. Stay strong. Love from Croatia
This was a really good video to even put out on CZcams . Like it gives people who have the same or similar problems the extra push they need to not be afraid to speak out and I wish there were more girls on CZcams who didn't always just speak about beauty tips because this video really shows that no one who feels and goes thru things like this alone. And I hope your recovery gets better day by day because after what you been thru it shows you obvioulsy can stay strong.
Thank you so much for this video! It's very though to see someone you love go through this. Needs to be talked about more!
love the fact that you aren't american and speak english so well, its a very courageous thing to accept yourself as you are and just the fact of sharing it means that you are doing great at it! love this i wish i could do it too..
I had depression from 6-8th grade and I developed really bad anxiety in 7th grade. My anxiety is better than it used to be but it still gets bad sometimes. I haven't had an anxiety attack in a month and a half though. The person I told doesn't understand it completely, but she helps me through it as much as she can and helps me try new things that I couldn't have ever done on my own.
Wow. I seriously cried watching this. I love you, stay strong beautiful
You truly are an inspiration Nika!
Much respect, thank you for being brave enough to share your story. I have panic attacks often and it's comforting to hear that I'm not the only one. I wish you the best!
I noticed you were blaming yourself for not doing something earlier and now it put you back a year but I say this,
you have learned so much from you unfortunate experience with stress and you have grown as an individual where you may have not done so. All this will pay off big time as you have gained much insight and maturity. You have turned this around and made the negatives into powerful positives. I think you are exceptional in how you have made this video which in turn will help others watching also the people who know you personally. You have a glow and look very healthy and I feel better myself for listening to you so thank-u sincerely.
I'm wishing you a wonderful future and every success in your life. Kudos:))
You're so strong!! Hearing all of this made me realize how strong people can be and I'm so happy you didn't give up :) You're a true inspiration so thank you so much for keeping up ♡ I hope you reach your goals and get through this completely. This video is the example of bravery, thanks Nikka!
I would tell someone about my problems because I know there's something wrong with me but I feel like people will just think I'm making everything up to get attention
+nicole vasquez same. I want to tell my parents or go to therapist but I feel like my parents wont belive me so I still can't talk with anyone.
I feel the same! 😔
I just started to watch your videos like 2 weeks ago and literally love your youtube chanel. For me, you're a great inspiration and you're so beautiful that when I detected this video I was kind of shoked. I know it's stupid to think like this but every time I see so beautiful people like you who say that their suffer from mental illness I'm just "Naaaaah. You're too beautiful for this". And its getinng more corious when I tell you that I suffer too from mental illness, like anxiety in general, social anxiety, depressions, selfharm, suicide, trauma and psychoses. You're really strong and a symbol for all people who wants to recover from their mental illness. Just want to say thank you for this video even if it's over a year old and you'll never read this. lol.
OMG Your story is so touching. I've just discoverded your channel but I am so proud of you! Stay strong
Im so proud of you.
I have OCD and for some months ive been getting peripheral 'hallucinations'/ visual distortions and you saying it gets better gives me hope
You are so brave to be so open about this I wish my son would open up about what is going on in his head, I’m proud of you!
What a welcoming and moving video! Congratulations on your courage to share all of this and congratulations on your strength to fight. All the happiness and peace in the world to you. A big hug from a Brazilian spectator
I'm not going to say I'm sorry that this happened because it actually makes us a better person and I understand 100% if what you went through. I developed anxiety and severe depression is fourth grade and I still get panic attacks (not that much just like every 4 months) and I know how hard it is but guess what? You made is through all of this crap. People who tell us its gonna get its better I have always doubted but it does get better! And for you it has gotten better! I wish you the best of luck and I know you are an inspiration to lots.
I am so proud of you for getting through all that and wanting to come out stronger! Keep doing what makes you happy because your health and happiness is the most important thing :)
I cried during the whole video. Love ya, inspired me so much ❤️
you are an amazing, strong girl for uploading this video. i cant exactly understand how you feel because i dont have anxieties and things like that but you really helped a lot of girls that felt like they were alone. youre so strong and i know you will go far in life (: i know that it took a lot of courage to upload this and we are all so proud of you :) stay strong
Thank you Nika for being so brave and sharing your experience. It really helped me as a medical student, to understand your perspective and what you go through. It definitely helped me gain some insight in the struggles and feelings that come along with mental illnesses beyond textbooks bounds. Stay happy and eat healthy! You are a strong girl, Nika! ❤️
I'm so proud of you for sharing this! ILY
I'm so glad you talk so openly about this,I'm going to the doctors soon and I hope I can speak as openly to them about my anxiety as you did about this on here x
I'm so proud of you!! I always can relate to you so much in a deep level. And I vividly remember that a few years ago when I first watch your video your English was not that fluent but now you're amazing! And I didn't know that you're not native English speaker until this year! I've been loving you and your videos this whole year and you've been cheering me up with your existence! Thank you and always support you xx oh and I'm not a native speaker too hehe
Experienced panic attacks and anxiety. I know how bad it is, I know the feeling of being unable to help yourself... you just need someone else to be there for you. The story about the black guy gave me goosebumps and nearly made me cry.... I can imagine how horrifying that must have been when just hearing about it makes me sick. Stay strong Nika. It's good to know that you're better now
I have major paranoia, anxiety, OCD, borderline personality disorder, depression and often suicidal thoughts and acts. I have dealt with it for about 5 to 6 years. I have learnt to deal with my disorders, but it has got to the point where every time I leave my house I have 1+ panic attacks. I see my nurse and counsellor everyday.
You are very brave girl. I love your videos
Thank you for this video, I have psycosis because of severe ptsd. I feel a bit embarrassed when people ask me about my self-harm scars. Thank you for having the courage to discuss such a distressing situation. Our mental health problems sound similar. I hope your health improves and you can lead a happy life.
You are amazing, you are so strong and amazing, I just can't imagine through what are people going. This made me cry. I just have no words. And all of those stupid people who dislike this video should be shamed of themselves. Even I don't have mental illness you helped me so much. Thank you so much Nika.
Thank you so much for making this video, Nika. This is going to help me and many others. It is very brave of you to not only film but post it.
You seem very poised and confident in front of the camera. And if I had met you without knowing about your previous problems I would never have thought that you have been through the things you mentioned here. It is good to know that you are much happier now, so I am sure you can inspire many people with your positive story.
I had anxiety from OCD all my life but when my parents were divorced three years ago my mom had a new boyfriend and I would have panic attacks about things that sound so crazy now but when it was actually happening I felt like she didn't care about me or only her boyfriend. I started getting sad and depressed and had to go to counciling because her boyfriend made me feel crazy because he was a liar and I knew what I was talking about. One day I just woke up with the strength to show evidence of my mom's mentally abusive boyfriend and she started to believe me. My anxiety was caused because when they were in the bedroom together I would just think of outrageous stuff. Later, when I felt nothing was going to change, I just had hope and faith. If your going through a really rough time, just have faith.
My dad was diagnosed with Psychosis (not sure if thats spelt right.) in 2011 and went to a mental hospital for 4 and a half months and them checked himself out, he is currently on medication and a few weeks ago for 2 days in a row he forgot to take medication and we noticed when he said he was saying that someone told him he was going to die, and we didn't know that he didn't take his medication, but he's okay now. ❤️
I have recently for the past year gone through SO much of what you have described. This is actually a very inspiring video and it makes me very happy that you feel better and that you are able to share your story with others. This really helps me (and I'm sure everyone else), knowing that there are many others like me and that things get better. Thank you:) You are so brave. Stay Happy:)
nikaaaaaa, omg i love you so much, you are a brave girl for putting this video out there ❤️ i seriously like worship, and i really thank you for telling us all this; i can relate to some of what you said because i get extremely nervous before i go out or do something out of the ordinary, and now i feel more comfortable knowing that im not the only one, and that it will hopefully get better and easier for me to do stuff ❤️ honestly, i would have never known that were going through this, because you always seem so positive and happy in your videos. thanks, and i love youuu ❤️ :3
I have anxiety and at the moment I don't go to school. And I get stomach aches and they can be very painful and that's all because of anxiety. Most of the time I don't even think I'm thinking about school.
Kate Elizabeth i have the same, i got told that i have IBS, anxiety and that is so horrible i hate it... how are you doing at the moment as i can see that your comment is 1 month ago? :)
flower heart. Kate Elizabeth I can say the same flower. It really does suck.. makes it hard to focus on anything else but the pain and the worried anxious feeling. I hope (to Kate) that you'll get back into school and learn to control the anxiety. Its all about relaxation. You're not alone! :-) Wish you both luck.
.
your story reminds me of mine. I had anxiety and panic attacks for many years. theyre just horrible. They stop me from doing the things I want to do. like travelling and going out late and stuff.. when I am having a panic attack, I usally think that I am dying. especially cause I start breathing fast and my heart feels like its gonna stop. after a panic attack I usually get depressed. good thing though is my panic attack and anxiety come for like a month or 2 and then I am normal again for like 3 to 4 years before they hit again.
you are absolutely my new favorite youtuber
you're truly so inspiring, thank you for making this video. it really helped me understand my anxiety. so, thank you.
I have anxiety and Panic attack since i was 6 (I'm almost 18 now) and eventually it got really really worst When i was 15 and i've been all these years really bad. I can't even go to school everyday and I'm thinking maybe i should start studying at home and lately all ive been thinking is about dying cause i dont think i will ever get better and just today was a really bad morning and i dont know how this video just appeared from no where and somehow i feel a little better right now cause now i understand I'm not the only one dealing with that so... Thanks.
Please get help. Do not go through life without help
I eventually got anxiety here at my job , always felt light headed or just a strange feeling like wanting to pass out ... I basically got to the point where I didn't care if that happened to me because I was with a group of people that would make sure I was ok and slowly but surely it just went away
Same! I think about my death 24/7, it's sad, I just want to feel happy and safe in this world...
Do you take medication for anxiety? I started taking medicine about a year ago, and it does help. Mine is so severe that I do online schooling. I've got common anxiety, and social anxiety. Mostly it was brought on because of school. I have started to feel so much better and most confident since I started online school and taking medication. Talk to your parents about it x
May I know the name of your medication? I'm taking some too :) but to control my heart pulse I think so it doesn't get to fast while I get anxious
When i was in 4th grade i was always afraid that something was gonna kill me or something so i had to sleep with my dad and i didnt sleep that much cause i was staring at the door all the time so yeah.... My parents didnt take it too seriously nor did i so please if u have anxiaty or depression or any other thing just go and tell an adult u trust because it will help a lot on your problem and its always important to live life to the fullest and be happy ☺ btw sorry about my english 😉
Great video. I kinda don't feel that alone anymore. It's so hard and I really admire you talking about this. I've been struggling with anxiety and anorexia but I'm better. You know recovery is a choice you got to make every day. I also had some panic attacks because I was scared of going to school. Lots of love to you ❤️💋
i personally thought that your life was perfect, and i've been waiting for this video since u told us that you went to a mental hospital , this is really inspiring i now understand what u went through just keeping it up!! and stay strong life is really a beautiful thing u just gotta look for it
You are so brave! I'm suffering from mental illness and I know how hard it is to talk about it. Thank you for this video, it really helped me realise that I'm not alone :)
I have generalized anxiety disorder. I was originally misdiagnosed with social anxiety disorder. GAD is really hard because it's an anxiety that encompasses a lot of things. I get pretty severe anxiety and it's really hard feeling alone and on your own with anxiety. So thanks for your video. :)
dearest Nika, I'm so proud of you. you have no idea. You being so brave and Committed make me even prouder. I'm sure that you will recover completely soon. Have a beautiful, brighter awesome thoughts as always. Just know that you are a strong beautiful lady and capable of anything. What you are doing is keeping everybody happy and motivated. I'm so genuinely happy that I've recently discovered your awesome channel and can't wait to watch all of your videos. I love you! Be safe!
Wow!! You are so brave to go so indepth! The psychosis part sounds so interesting! Sorry that you go through it. It must be terrifying for you x
Nika ur awesome and I love u 😘💕💗, the 2 people who disliked this are... Heartless just heartless.
Hey Nika! I follow your account for over half a year and I just got to watch this video and I just wanted to tell you that I'm really really proud of you!!!!!! you're totally a inspiration for me and you're so pretty too!! hahaha I just wish you everything that is the best in this world :) YOU GO GIRL Love you (I'm actually from Brazil so that you know that you have followers from all over the world ) xoxo
So thankful for this video, you have helped me so much and now I know im not alone. Thank you. You are my favourite youtuber!!
You are so brave! We are here for you, stay strong! xx
It really helps me to know I'm not alone, This situation destroys me, I'm just too obsessed and sometimes it seems like i am going crazy. I just care too much and imagine a lot of things that scare me when I'm stressed and i have a problem, you know my friends tell me that it's gonna be okay but i can't believe them i really can't my thoughts will just destroy me
amaaaazing video nika! i personally do not soffer from any mental illnesses but it just was soo intresting to hear your story. you are such an amazing and brave young woman! I really hope that your life will continue to be great and I really think that you will get better and better with such an open and positive mind and thinking. much love from italy xxx
so brave of you to talk about this! sending so much love
oh my gosh nika i'm so sorry, i dint even thought it was so bad because i havent suffered from it yet. I'm so sorry. I love you♥
nika you are an inspiration! I look up to you. You are so strong and brave, ILY
I have panics attacks too, and you know its very hard! We are warriors, and we have to keep staying strong ok? I love you, youre amazing
I have panic attacks too. But for me they can last up to a few hours if I don't have people around who can help me. And if I have a panic attack during school, kids will glare at me and say rude things to me witch makes it worse. Your not alone and I'm here for you❤️
Had my first psychotic panic attack this weekend. I feel broken... but this video made me feel a bit better, just because i know im not alone ❤️
It helps to know I'm not alone
Kate Fisher you are not alone!
Your a freak
Pug Tato awww did someone say that to you😢
1 0 I’ve been told I’m a monster
Thank you so much - my boyfriend has psychosis and your video helped me to understand him more ...
You are so strong! I am very happy for you
I'm really proud of you for getting through this and sharing your story
I just wanted to tell you that you are such a strong, beautiful, inspiring person! Your videos are amazing, there are'nt lots of people like you. This video is just so helpful, it's a lot better to know that I'm not alone when I get worried and anxious about the future or about myself and basically everything and to see that there are a lot of people who feel the same or even have it worse - it just makes it a bit easier. Hold on, just stay strong! ♥
(Excuse any mistakes, English isn't my native language :) )
this video was awsome! I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks alot so cheering something like this was just so.. great thank you so much
you're so brave. Im so happy for you and how you dealt with everything. lots of love xx
Thank you for making this video it helped me sooooo much and I feel a lot better now since I'm starting school and getting the nervousness of the year
Thank you for sharing your story! I can relate so much. Anxiety is hard to explain and you're very brave for sharing your story. I've only had psychosis from taking certain medications but have had panic attacks since at least middle school. I'm about to be 29. My Anxiety got really bad in 2017. I had an hour bus ride to work and would always have panic attacks when I got on my second bus to get to work.
Someone very close to me went through self-harm and suicidal thoughts. He got inpatient and outpatient therapy and medication and is doing fine now. The main message I want to emphasize is AWARENESS. I did not have a clue he was in this state of mind. He did not show any signs and seemed fine at home and in school. I only found out by discovering a suicide note. I believe he would not be alive today if not for me discovering the note by chance. Friends and family need to be aware of what is going on with their friends and family, even if it seems nothing bad is going on at all. AWARENESS is the first step to helping people who self-harm and have suicidal thoughts.
You are such an incredible person Nika I don't even know how to explain from typing how much of an inspiration you are to me xxxxxxx
I am so proud of you! 😘
I thankfully don't have none of those problem, but I just wanted to say that you are my hero! Love you Nika
omg i always felt i was the only one with anxiety because i started with it in fifth grade and i hatee it but ive learned to cope with it but thnxxx for the video , makes me feel less alone!!!
hi good video i have got bad anxiety told that many doctors that i shake in side and cant stand noises they have never said that is anxiety hearing you say that u get all shakey to made me feel i dont know how to word it it just helped thank u so much stay strong and hope you get better soon
Wow this video was so intense and exciting but informative at the same time. I think mental illness also is something people don't speak about, which is a big problem. I felt so scared when you told about the hallucinations, gosh! I wish you all the best! :)
I seriously cried through out this video ... You are so amazing and real and honest and just... Idk ... Luvya
I have anxiety too, its not as bad as it was before, but during the summer and i was rushed into hospital, i ended up in a mentaI health ward with other teenagers after recovering from psychosis, i thought i was dead and i was seeing things that werent there! I am now discharged but thankyou for this video I know there's people out there who have been through similar things as me xx
Thank you for the Video ❤️ you are So pretty and One of my Favorite youtubers!❤️
