welcome back to you to Tory graphics the home of graphic design content right
here on YouTube now as you've probably already guessed today's video is gonna
be completely different what I normally post here on this channel if you are new
here via this video today just take a look at that my normal content is
graphic design tutorials and graphic design related videos but today I have a
completely different video because I feel have a very important message that
needs to be said and also if you are a low subscriber and viewer don't worry
this is not gonna be a regular thing here in this channel I'm just doing this
as a one-off because I have something to tell you guys and to share to the
YouTube community now that I've got quite a following here on YouTube I
think it's my duty to help other people where I can and where possible so that's
why today I'm gonna get really personal I'm gonna share with you guys my
experience with social anxiety and anxiety disorders in general and how I
literally saved my life so if you're currently struggling with an anxiety
disorder well you know somebody that is stay tuned and listen to the entirety of
my video today so you can educate yourself on what anxiety disorders are
and how to combat them even if you're not someone who experiences social
anxiety for anxiety disorders I think it's important you educate yourself on
important topics just like this one because you never know who you're gonna
meet and who you're gonna spend your life with in the future before we start
just a quick rundown on what I'm going to be doing in today's video first and
foremost I'm going to briefly outline more the difference between anxiety and
an anxiety disorder is then we're gonna go into my personal experience and my
life growing up as a teenager a child and into adult life with anxiety
disorders that's going to include how I need to kill myself and died multiple
times and how I saved my own life so you can do the same and bridges out of this
horrible reflective disorder known as anxiety
okay so anxiety most of us experience anxiety in some shape or form from a
day-to-day life I think it's mainly sociopaths were extreme sociopaths who
do not feel anxiety I know some people out there gonna think that anxiety
disorders are overblown and exaggerated and not much of an issue I'm here to
tell you today that's completely wrong and that's pretty ignorant actually
imagine your worst fear it could be anything what is your worst fear just
think about that right now as you watch this video if it's something like fear
of flying just imagine that it's sat in the departure lounge in the airport and
you're getting this out there and you're looking out the window and you can see
that plane waiting for you and you know it's a clock ticks away you're gonna be
closer and closer to your fear you probably can be sat there in a huge
amount anxiety now imagine that feeling imagine that cold rush of fear that
enveloped your body having anxiety disorders is much like having that
feeling throughout the entire day all day every day now it's not gonna be up
to like 10 maximum throughout the whole day you might be like a three u85
but it's gonna be there throughout the entire day when someone is anxious their
heart races a lot faster and they body produce a lot of adrenaline which is of
course a result that fight-or-flight response when being threatened or
anxious people with anxiety experienced this constantly all day every single day
another good analogy is that imagine how many times you COFF in a day you might
just coughed two or three times we know throughout the day randomly and at the
end of that day when you look back you barely remember coughing at all we know
it's insignificant it's trivial with a cough but imagine if
you coughed every five seconds throughout the entire day now that cough
is gonna be the focal point of your life and your day and it's gonna completely
ruin everything select anxiety some people have anxiety
just two or three times in that day but people that anxiety disorder have it
throughout the entire day that's why it's so debilitating and it's so hard to
deal with when you have an anxiety disorder so that was telling you guys
what anxiety is and how it's different from an anxiety disorder and now I'm
gonna go into my life and my experiences with anxiety depression drugs and
alcohol everything that goes were there and
the very end of course the most important part which is telling you guys
how I dealt with it and how I saved my life and how you can do the very same
now there are a lot of facts out there and information online of anxiety
disorders I'm gonna drop loads of links down inscription below Freda chair can
read yourself there are things that suggest anxiety disorders may very well
be handed down genetically speaking for my parents there are bound to be many
different factors involved and the many different factors involved with my own
personal experience with anxiety disorders now I've got two different
disorders which is pretty unlucky but it just is what it is
I have hypochondria which is the irrational fear that you're dying or
you're sick or have some kind of illness and the other one I've had to deal with
your social anxiety the first red flag for my parents who's been on the age of
12 I was obsessed with the facts I might actually have a brain tumor you know
brain cancer or something like that I'm not sure if it was my anxiety that
caused the symptoms or the symptoms that caused anxiety but I started to get
migraines and headaches and I don't know why but I got into my head I had brain
cancer so I went to the doctor and the doctor said I was fine and then that was
that however a few weeks later my mind my irrational overactive mind moved to
another illness and I started to think I was dying with something else now this
might sound completely stupid t guys and essentially it is kind of stupid but
someone with social anxiety or hyper country or any kind of anxiety disorder
they often have an overactive mind that doesn't turn off a dissin switch off he
keeps driving to think and think and think and over analyzing certain details
when you have hypochondria you literally are convinced that you have some kind of
illness that's terminal or deadly and I've had so many issues with this in my
past growing up I cannot count how many times
I've been to the doctor to get tested for something it turns that I'm actually
fine and again it might sound silly but to the person who's suffering from
hypochondria they literally are convinced to this so they can't sleep
they can't eat properly everything they do in their day to day life is centered
around this notion that they're dying imagine I imagine you thinking you're
dying day in day out it's really really
horrible and it's causing me a lot of depression and anxiety in the past in
fact it all came to a head when I was around 17 years old I couldn't deal with
this anymore like the whole
process of thinking of your focusing on something focusing on a symptom going to
the doctor it turned out to be nothing and then moving on to the next symptom
and the next problem and I actually was drunk one night on
herself I was really depressed I was really down with this whole hypochondria
situation I decided that's it I'm gonna kill myself
so what I did was I was in my bedroom above my mum's house and I was drinking
alcohol like I said and I started to write my suicide note you know I started
to cry I started to write my suicide note and I had in my mind I knew which
building I was gonna go to I knew which building I was going to jump from he was
just a case of doing it so I wrote out the letter and I was just about to stand
up and leave with my phone rang and it was my girlfriend at the time and I
hadn't call the texter she just randomly was like checking on me to see if I was
okay and she managed to talk me out of it she managed to talk me down from
going to kill myself which is it's both crazy and it's awesome how she saved my
life without even realizing it but yeah there are some very very low moments in
one's life when you have an anxiety disorder and that was just one of
discount las' times that I've been very very depressed and down with hyper
country or social anxiety
now I want to talk about self medicating because a very very high percentage of
people with anxiety disorder will choose to self-medicate if they're conscious of
this already do it subconsciously it happens in a high high percent I think
it's around 80% of people self-medicate with this now that could be via alcohol
or it could be their drugs and I myself ended up doing this I ended up doing pay
for those myself from the age of 15 I started drinking
alcohol and smoking weed and stuff like that
and I'm gonna talk about medications in the later parties video but to keep it
simple you really want to work towards not depending on any external factors
for um happiness and to battle social anxiety or anxiety disorders in general
so that means not depending on pills either not depending on alcohol not
depending on something like that you need to work on it from within I wanna
talk about how to do that later in today's video but yeah I am
social anxiety came around sixteen seventeen years old I had a combination
of hypochondria and social anxiety there was one point when I stayed inside my
house for four months without ever going at once at all just imagine that
sleeping imprisoned it was like being imprisoned in your house or something
way to live your life I remember I'm gonna tell you guys how to deal with
social anxiety and anxiety disorders and in this video so hope you guys are
having a better understanding of how social anxiety anxiety disorders and how
they affect people who are stuck with this burden in their life it's not their
fault they can't just simply wake up one day and stop and turn off that's not how
it works they're afflicted with this mental thinking and this thought process
is in the brain not to briefly touch upon medication I don't want to give you
a device to tell you not to take your medication if you actually prescribed
something like eggs annex valium which is also known as diazepam ganas de panne
all of these medications I'm not going to tell you just to stop taking them
right now but you really do need to work towards not using them at some point in
your life because let me tell you this folks I was taking huge amounts of
diazepam I was taking 400 milligrams a day which
is 40 of those blue pills I'm gonna post some teachers on this video of what I
was taking medication wise I say medication basically what it does is it
covers up the problem of the symptoms it doesn't actually dress the root cause
of that problem it has covered it up to manifest to grow
and to come out later in your life in a bigger and more dramatic way you
shouldn't be looking at using a crutch for your anxiety disorder because you
cannot be doing that for your entire life and the problem with medications
such as benzodiazepines is that you're gonna build a tolerance to them if you
take them daily that's what happened to me I started off taking like 20
milligrams of Valium a day and within the year I was up to 400 milligrams a
day imagine taking 40 tablets a day that's what I was doing but the worst
part of it is once your body becomes physically addicted to these medications
and you build your tolerance they actually become counterproductive I
actually found I was actually hugely anxious on these higher doses of
medications they turn you into a zombie because they work on your gaba receptors
in your brain and it slows down your brain function basically is quelling any
anxiety because your brain doesn't function properly anymore it turns you
into a walking talking zombie your memory goes like that I mean I've had
friends who said to me I kept repeating the same thing over and over and over
again and I kept forgetting my memory was like a goldfish basically I had a
goldfish memory and that's no way to live your life I'm sure when I started
taking him initially things it was amazing it was like a magic wonderful
pill I took it and my anxiety was just gone
but you can't be doing every single day because you're gonna turn into a zombie
and your body will become addicted to it within about no more than six months
maximum six months you're gonna be addicted to these medications if you
take them on a daily basis but the radio really crucial important thing here is I
found that around 80% of doctors either do not know the side effects of these
medications known as benzodiazepines or they didn't care now if you're taking
medications such as opiates for pain like physical pain you can just stop
taking those and you might feel a bit groggy for two or three days but with
benzodiazepines such as valium if you just stop taking them you can have a
whole host of negative withdrawal side effects and I have experienced an ad all
of them in this list I'm going to show you on screen and linked in description
below
they are horrible he is just the worst torture I've ever gone through I
probably think it's worse than the anxiety disorder itself people in the
field of pharmaceuticals and medicine say that the withdrawal from valium for
example is a lot worse than withdrawal from heroin but if you just cut short
your valium or benzodiazepine use you can actually have seizures and a whole
host of other negative side effects and that's what happened to me again my life
was saved by a girlfriend when I was around 22 I'd read online about these
medications for a genuine rezaian to disorder and I knew I needed to stop
them but I was taking like you know 200 400 milligrams of Valium a day
I just cut that short and I don't remember much of what happened on that
day but my girlfriend came home from work for lunch and often she doesn't do
that so it's quite weird this happened and she found me on the floor with white
foam coming from my mouth I'd had a seizure because I cut showed the
medication and my brain just fried my brain just went into shock and I was
lucky to survive that actually and that's why you should not just stop your
medications if you are taking them you need to taper off gradually I actually
took down five milligram every single week until I got down to zero which took
a long long time coming down from 400 milligram a day so that's a bit about
the medication side of things and now I'm gonna talk to you about how to
actually deal with anxiety and anxiety disorders in a natural helpful manner
that is going to improve your life a huge fruit amount if you are dealing
with anxiety disorders
so how did I go from being a completely an utterly nervous wreck Friedel with
social anxiety and hypochondria I'm going to tell you exactly right now how
did that so firstly the most important thing I think you need to do if you do
have social anxiety or other forms of anxiety disorder is that you need to
work towards getting sober you need to have a clear mind if you're taking
medication as i previously spoke about daily try and taper off of them and then
when you're actually off of them use them only when necessary in certain
situations when you might have like a major panic attack i myself have not
taken valium or any kind of medications to do the anxiety disorder for two years
now why do i say that you need to have a clear mind because you need to address
the root cause of your problem which is going to be within and to do
that you need to be yourself and you need to be thinking straight and clearly
but not only that every single point now i'm gonna go into now and how to deal
with anxiety disorders are gonna work together as a part of a system and each
and every single point complements the other
it's basically being healthy physically and mentally and that's going to give
yourself the best platform working on your disorders so like I said start to
taper off these medications if you're using them but also I must say you have
to talk to your doctor about this do your research on these medications
themselves and then let your doctor know your worries and your concerns about
taking these medications so when you have a clear mind you need to start
focusing on your health because I feel that having a healthy mind and having a
healthy body is essential for overall well-being an anxiety free life it's not
gonna be incited free you what can I still get anxiety but it's not going to
be the levels that you used to be and when it does happen you could know how
to deal with it properly so what I first started doing was I start exercising at
him I just bought some dumbbells I started doing press ups stolid like
doing arm curls and stuff like that and this really does help because there's
actually science that proves exercise literally rewires your brain in
something called brain plasticity now this is great because it does in a
positive way and it teaches you to address problems in a different way than
it used to not only that the exercise releases all kind of endorphins and like
things like dopamine which make you really happy and have a better sense of
well-being all of the points I'm gonna give to you now I just
little step towards not having anxiety disorders in your life I need to take
baby steps guys it's not gonna happen overnight it's not even gonna happen in
one month it's going to be a gradual process when you move forward improve
and level up each and every single time so yes start exercising at home if you
like me in high social anxiety you know how can I want to run into a gym just
like you know the glory exercise god that's not gonna happen
so start sizing at home or maybe just go for a run around the street at night
you're an evening or something like that but get yourself exercising and in a
routine were you working out I did eventually get to go to like a small
public gym but also for you people out there who have social anxiety when you
start to see yourself getting stronger getting bigger getting more I dare I say
sexy it's really gonna boost your confidence and that's a great thing for
dealing with anxiety disorder it's having more confidence in fact it might
be one of like the most important things in my opinion but it's not the only
thing you need to also focus on other things I'm going to tell you now so yeah
exercise is pretty really important just get into a routine and get it done the
next thing is diets now this if court isn't just for your mental health
it goes for health in general but like I said they all tie in together so start
trying to eat healthy Whole Foods foods that fill you up on three foods that
high nutrition values like vitamins fiber all the good stuff this is really
really important for a better life and a better well-being in the long run and
the next one is a really really big one as Amanda's meditation I'm gonna drop
some more links down in description below if you check out a meditation the
meditation is crucial for understanding who you are as a person understanding
what your brain is and how it functions because let's face it guys everything we
do in our life everything we feel everything we say and do it all starts
up here in the brain right and that is the most powerful tool that you have in
your life and in this world that's where your anxiety comes from you create your
anxiety it's not it's not someone else creating it for you it's how you respond
to the world outside and that all starts in here so you need to start meditating
you need to start getting down to the core roots of your problem but also
understanding consciousness and how your mind functions
when you start to understand how your mind functions you can start to address
the problems that you will face in your life and your day-to-day activities I
didn't really do this myself I was like suggested to with my mum but going to
CBT therapy like with a counselor can help and it does help a lot of people
but I think you should use this in complement to everything else I'm
talking about today just talking to someone you trust about
your problems really does help but you need to do all of the things I'm telling
you together as a group but yeah you can see the trend I'm put into you guys
today little steps focusing on exercise
focusing on Dyer focusing on meditation and consciousness and dealing with your
problems in a sober and straightforward manner you can do it you can be your
anxiety disorder it's possible I never thought I would be
in this position I'm in now sitting in front of a camera talking to you guys I
was one of those people who was so socially anxious and socially awkward I
used to hate getting my picture taken for example I used to hate just walking
down the street and people walking the other way and when I'm telling you about
small baby steps is that it might be something as small as walking into the
store and buying something is standing in line and then once you've actually
leaved the store you can watch your anxiety go up whilst you're in the store
and then if you prolong the anxiety you'll notice that it will start to fade
nothing is permanent and this is what meditation teaches you nothing is
permanent and forever your anxiety will go up and it will come down but when you
have a win when you actually do something you never thought you would do
before such as standing in line of the store and not freaking out you feel so
awesome afterwards you feel like you're on top of the world
seriously you feel awesome and as you progress through this process you can
have loads of these wins you can have loads of these awesome amazing moments
where you actually surprise yourself and what you're capable of and what you can
do but yeah I hope you enjoyed today's video guys it was a bit different from
