I think the main reasons of my anxiety (well, I think I have it) is because of school and my parents. School is already hard enough to get through, what with the tough work and not enough break times, and adding homework doesn't make it any better. Even worse, I need to do tutoring for 8 hours a week, including tutoring homework, and I'm barely able to finish everything. In fact, I recently had to stop doing math homework I get from school almost every day because it was just getting too much for me to handle. And now my parents are getting annoyed that I can't finish homework in time, so now if I don't finish my homework by 8 pm every night, I don't get to use electronics other than for homework the next day. I think it's meant to improve my time management so I do the same quality of work faster, but it really just motivates me to finish faster, but with worse quality of work. Worst of all, if I bring up the topic of me thinking I have depression or anxiety, my parents either just dismiss it as 'growing up' or even worse, turn it into a lecture about how I'm ungrateful for what they do for me and that I shouldn't bring it up, so now I don't. Plus, they won't let me get a diagnosis or go to a therapist since they're convinced that they're raising me to be happy and that getting a diagnosis or therapist would be a waste of time and money, since they think I don't have any mental illnesses.

Nailed it! Except, I have social phobia and don't cling to anybody. And if I don't make new friends, I won't have to worry about getting rejected. I am also suspected to have Aspergers Syndrome as well. The presence of people stresses me out, even if we are just sitting there watching a movie. And it can be particularly uncomfortable when you are always trying to do what THEY want to do while you're together. I seriously just wanted to have both of my days off to myself, but I gave one of them up for my friend who made me uncomfortable for 4 hours because she was glued to her phone most of the time. So I basically experienced 4 hours of stress and discomfort when I could have just had a relaxing day by myself. This was a big deal to me because I give a lot of my time to her otherwise, so why was I giving my time and energy to this person when they could have just been doing that at home (especially when they are only half listening to me. I mean, are they THAT bored that they came to my place this time, when I went to theirs the last 5 or 6 times?

I have anxiety since I was 4-5 years old due to a phisical and emotional abuse i suffured from my teachers from pre-school. Since then I bite my lips constantly and developed many other problems caused by anxiety issues, such as heart racing, panick attacks in certain situations (especially those that i have to exposure myself in front of many people, sweaty and cold hands and the list goes on and on. There are times that i feel better and there are times that i'm completely isolated. Sometimes i feel i can cope with it pretty well, but sometimes i feel that i'll have to deal with this disorder forever, and it really sucks to be constantly selfaware in public. Anxiety should be taken more seriously. Thank you Psych2go for these incredible videos!

Thing is Im very anxious about being essentially abandoned by my friends but Im also not overly clingy. Its more when the future looks supposedly uncertain to me and Im not sure whatll happen. My fourth term of school is coming up and I know I have the same lunch as my friends but will we be in the same place? Will I be able to find them if not?
There have been times when other kids took our spot so they found one and I could not find it so my brain jumped to questions like whether they talked about finding a different place without including me or even if this was their way of leaving me behind. It wasnt and it was completely fine but that feeling also ruined the rest of my day.

I have anxiety. And its really hard to identify which one. As a social extrovert people pleaser, I forget to work on myself sometimes. I struggle with my self esteem, and am constantly wondering if Im a toxic person. I have a friend who ive noticed has changed recently, and when I confronted her about it she told that she was trying to act more normal for me. I never really noticed that I was calling her things like weird and crazy but I thought that was just playful banter. right? It turns out, maybe I am toxic. I never thought the things I was saying were backhanded complements. I thought she thought it was funny. But maybe im changing her and I dont even realize it. I really need help.

I don't like it when people act like doctors are the be all know all for getting help. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD IT no matter how much they're supposed to help. And, in some cases, they don't help, they just take your money or don't see anything wrong when you KNOW something is wrong. and some doctors don't even give a care about you. my dad has had cancer in his ear for maybe two years (we don't know because his old doctor NEVER EVEN CHECKED) so now, we're down a lot of money for his new doctors to try to get rid of it. it's not helpful, and the fact that he could die just because of his ear is horrible. So, yeah. Doctors? not always helpful.

I showed my sister this and she said she could relate to everyone of the signs more or less. She especially said the one with being codependent. See, when we were wee lil kids we had this aunt who was amazing! She was calm, goofey, nurturing, understanding, and loved plants and animals. Me and my sister loved her, but my sister had anxiety back then aswell, and every time she did something wrong she felt like our aunt would see her badly. She also has tics, likely caused by her anxiety.

I'm just curious. Is it still anxiety if one has a severe independence streak with an I'll show you attitude that has that irritability and anger and is highly standoffish (as in leave me alone or knock it off? Because that's my true personality. Oh, and I always play with my hair and crack my knuckles and I dont attribute it to anxiety but as something to do. I don't do them all the time, mind you, but there's always something going with one of them for me to do it.

I am 57 years old. I am just beginning to understand how I masked my anxiety with coping behaviors.
I always turned the criticism and lashing out inward on myself and concluded I was a piece of crap. Other people knew how to handle life's challenges. My anxiety turned into crippling depression. After much work on myself with the help of many counselors I can finally pick outside and see the sunshine.

Superficially, I appear like a charming, ebullient individualbut internally I am infused with anxiety and trepidation. Since I am somewhat good at acting, I can easily purport to be harmonious, even when there is discord and furiously racing thoughts within my mind. I have never imparted directly to anyone that I have anxiety, thus no one knows about that, due to my skills at persistently concealing it.

As someone who has anxiety and tries not to hide it (even though I do) this was very accurate. It showed me some behaviors that I do that I didn't even realize like how I always play with a pop-it all the time and if I don't have it I feel restless. And showed some things that I knew I did and reminded me to try and work on them because anxiety is very toxic. Thank you!

Hey pysch2go there's one more sign i that should probably be included in here-
You're heavily influenced by others opinions and might even change your just to satisfy them. You're constantly worrying about if everyone approves of your opinion or not. While I'm writing this comment also I'm more concerned about how many people will agree and will like it.

I believe my anxiety left months ago but I am unsure about it. I have had all of these before and no this may not be a diagnosis but I may have had one of these before. And it may still be with me today but hidden away in depression. Do you know anything about this? Reply to me if you do know if this could have been from old anxiety symptoms.

We sometimes feel this but not all the time. Theres lots of remedies for this as long as the person recognizes this and could easily treat herself. People with medical background treat themselves fast and could adjust easily because they see it on other people and see it on their patients.

Come to think of it I always bite my lip and I always scratch my face, chew my nails, and play with my hair, while at the same time worrying if someone is judging me for it, then scolding myself for thinking people actually look at and pay attention to me like Im so important
