*intro music playing*
hey guys my name is amanda and welcome back to my channel today I decided I
wanted to do a video that's more deep more personal and something that I can
perhaps maybe help someone with or educate someone with um or just anything I
just really wanted to talk about this because something that I deal with a lot
I myself have anxiety and I tend to have anxiety attacks or panic attacks
yes they are two different things that's what we're gonna get into on this video
so to begin with I myself have anxiety and I have other things that I'm not
going to talk about in this video specifically if you want me to talk
about other things please leave the comments section filled with stuff I'm
glad to help in any way I can so like I said today I'm gonna be talking about
anxiety anxiety attacks and panic attacks I have anxiety I have different
types I would say I have general anxiety I have social anxiety and
separation anxiety y'all are probably like what's the difference it's all
anxiety unfortunately they're all different and they all have different
things that go with it because people don't really understand I will go on
Google and tell you the difference I would explain it with my own words but
I'm not good at explaining so general anxiety is characterized by excessive
exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life
so basically general anxiety is when you worry about everything like you wake up
and you worry about how you're gonna get to school or how you're gonna get to
work what you're gonna eat what you're gonna see or who you're gonna see just
like you worry about every little thing that's going on and it's like not one
specific thing it's everything then social anxiety is different a social
anxiety um so the best way to sum it up there's a lot of descriptions but the
best way to sum up mine is social anxiety is also known as social phobia
meaning that you don't like being in large crowds or with people it's an
anxiety it's an anxiety disorder characterized by significant amount of
fear in one or more social situations I can say that I've gotten over this a
bit but if you know me well and gotten to know me well you know that I can get
anxiety in big groups of people and you're probably like Amanda you did a
panel at playlist and there was people in that room what are you talking about
okay well first of all I am so grateful that there was like um whats it called
like a towel not towel like something over the table because under the table
my legs were shaking okay and at first when I got the email saying that I got
in the panel I was like thinking in my head I was like oh my god
there's gonna be more than one person in that room like looking at me and I don't
know half those people and it was just really scary but I was like hey how are you
gonna get over social anxiety how are you gonna improve how you're gonna get
better how are you gonna get over it so I was like let me put myself in that
situation and I did and I did it I didn't have an attack during it which
I'm so happy for um but that's what social anxiety is I had it worse when I
was younger because I would get bullied a lot when I was younger so the bullying
and the social anxiety together just made it like hella bad but it got better
so I still suffer from social anxiety like I get really nervous when I'm in a
room with people that I don't know I get really nervous when I have to do like
presentations I get really nervous when I have to just speak in front of a lot
of people but it's gotten better and then the last one is separation anxiety
which is um it's it's special I don't talk about a lot about this because
whatever but separation anxieties and anxiety sort in which an individual
experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from certain people okay so
if you know me you know that I have friends that live where I am obviously I
have like the close close friends I would say I have two or three and yeah but
the rest of my friends do not live where I live and if you know me well enough
you know that I am actually dating someone who doesn't live where I live so
separation anxiety is something that I've had like a long time
due to the fact that no one lives here except a few people so I have a lot of
separation anxiety when it comes to that because imagine some of the people that
are the closest to you like the people that you speak to every single day and
you can't see them and they're so far and they're just really far it's just
really hard and I'm gonna fucking cry um but it's just like hmm this is the this
is like make amanda cry fucking video but anyways um I guess it's better to just
be open raw and like with you guys but I have like really bad separation
anxiety especially when I go to youtube events and then I have to like come home
and stuff it's like wow I just spent like three four days with people that
like are exactly like me and I'm really close to them and I speak to them every
day and then you have to come home and you're like okay yeah I have friends
here like shoutouts to you three friends that I have here but it's just like so
hard to like grasp the fact that you only see these people several times a
month and several times a month several times a fucking year and I don't know like it's
really hard , it's hard it's hard so I get like a bad anxiety with that because I just like overthink
everything and it's just complicated it's complicated it's hard it's really hard
but I would not ever say don't make friends over the internet don't date
someone that doesn't live where you are because it's like fucking amazing so
so whatever gotta deal with it so okay let me like wipe my fucking tears
honey okay so those are the three anxieties that I deal with and they're
really hard to deal with and I want to try and help you guys and tell you guys
how to overcome it or how to just deal with it when you're having attacks
so to me an anxiety attack and a panic attack are different because I
experienced two different types of attacks when I have an anxiety attack it
comes from me being nervous about something so let's say um I don't know
like there's so many examples so let's say I'm going to be going to an event
where theres like six hundred people there and I know I'm gonna be in a room
with six hundred people so I get nervous okay so this is my social anxiety coming
out I get nervous I overthink everything I'm like how many people are gonna be there
how many people am I gonna know how many people are gonna come talk to me
that I don't know how many people that I know are gonna come talk to me how you
were gonna look at me how many people are gonna judge me like all those things
come in my mind okay and that's when I start getting nervous and that's when my
social anxiety kicks in and that's when I begin to have an anxiety attack
an anxiety attack when I have them personally I just get really nervous my
stomach starts hurting my hands start like tingling and like fidgeting and
stuff and I like have trouble breathing and these are very similar symptoms to
panic attacks but they're anxiety attacks due to the fact that I
previously overthought things and I previously was nervous about things so
anxiety attacks for me myself I'm not saying this is for everyone but for my
personal experience my anxiety attacks generate from me being anxious about
something me being nervous about something and me overthinking something
now when I have panic attacks these shit's come out of nowhere okay I could
be sitting my bed reading a book about fucking like Charlie Brown and all of a
sudden I'm having a panic attack it's really different it's so different for
me so they are the same symptoms like when I have panic attacks I get like
lightweight and lightweight it what does it call it like dizzy I get dizzy I get
hot i get very hot my hands get cold and tingly my stomach hurts I have
trouble breathing and those are the same symptoms that I have when I have anxiety
attacks but my general difference between the two is anxiety attacks for
me generate from when I'm nervous or when I'm anxious about something meanwhile
panic attacks come when I just don't know they're coming and that's the
difference between the two for me you guys can have two different completely
different attacks so it's like not always the same for everyone but that's
just how I explained it it's really hard to explain but if you get it and if you
understand thank you so much for trying so anxiety attacks for me generate from
general anxiety social anxiety or separation anxiety and
it's when I'm overthinking or I'm anxious about something that's when
those attacks come and my panic attacks come anytime of the day whenever I'm
just chilling and not doing anything they just decide to pop up on me so
thank you so far we've discussed what type of
anxieties I have the two differences between anxiety attacks and panic
attacks towards my experiences and towards me and now I'm going to talk
about how I deal with them and how I try to get them to go away so when I feel an
anxiety attack coming or when I feel well I don't ever feel a panic attack coming so
when I feel an anxiety attack coming I try to calm myself down by taking deep
breaths I try to think about the positive outcomes and I try not to think
about the negative it doesn't always work I'm telling you it works 80% of no
not it works 20% of the time 80% of the time I actually end up still having the
attack but it could be a little less than it would be but basically when I'm
having an attack for both cases what I do is I help myself breathe so I sit
there and I count my breaths I breathe in and i breathe out i breathe in and i breathe out
and I keep counting them till my breath and my cycle of breathing
gets in control um what I also do is I try to calm myself down by thinking this
is an anxiety attack this is a panic attack you've had these already it will
get better it will eventually end just keep thinking on focusing on the end
point and focusing on getting it over and done with I'm not having to be in
this situation or in this moment of the attack and that's what I think about so
I breathe properly I think about the outcome at the end of it and I also
drink water sometimes it can help me like just you know get fluids in me and
get like okay so that's what I do and also sometimes I try and do things that
like I think would calm me down like I watch video sometimes I listen to music
I read and all those things so just finding something that will help you
calm down is a good tool so basically like I said I
concentrate on my breathing I concentrate on the outcome
and I find something that will calm me down and that is how I personally deal
with panic attacks or anxiety attacks I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope
