This video is incredible. Being an intermittent sufferer of anxiety with the same fears, this video has brought me back to reason time and time again. It’s so true that being “aware” is the difference. Thanks George.

I'm Victor from Spain, I'm 20 years old and since I was little I have anxiety, I used to give myself in class, in restaurants, in a cinema to give some examples... well the case, it's been 2 years since I've been in this hell, on May 9, 2022 I woke up having thoughts that in my life had had of the content of hurting me, I remember that the day before I went to sleep I read a story about a boy who took his life, logic tells me that could be a possible trigger, at first I got scared because I didn't want to do that I don't even want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I was terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this will be a bad day and tomorrow I'll be fine, because the days were going by and it was still the same, even from the fear I had I slept even with my mother imagine... a few days after this, being in my room I missed this thought that I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself it was already wrong imagine after that went through my head... literal that I couldn't even see my mother was terrible, if before I had anxiety because after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that moment reading about the subject I found a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that I literally eliminated the physical symptoms I had despite the fact that those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him just what I am telling in this message and he told me about impulsion phobias, I went home and a few days after this in the news of Antena 3 channel the typical ones that give at night well, they talked about a news of a boy with schizophrenia and well what happened to me is that I literally was in shock, I didn't sleep that night, literally when I heard that it was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 in a row day by day by Google, on KZbin videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic outbreaks, because from there I'm wrong no, the following. I literally began to be aware of the sounds and for example I was watching a video on KZbin of whatever it is and if I listened to something that could be outside of that video, I went back the video to see if I listened to it again, that was an example of what I did, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye like that I see it as a flash and I scratch that you freak out in case it's a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoias and to give an example, read that These people think that they want to kill them and that from there I have thoughts of that kind, although I know that they are a lie, I don't know if after everything I'm telling you're finding out what's happening to me or if maybe in your consultation you've had cases of this kind, because in Spanish I've barely found information as if I've found it in English and they relate it to OCD, but literally that sometimes I doubt that this could be OCD, this seems something serious I'm afraid it's psychosis or schizophrenia I'm shit I need help, it seems that I am delirious sometimes, although I repeat I know that certain thoughts are not logical... I think that reading symptoms has fucked my head because in my life I have had these thoughts and I think I am very suggested.

I love your terminology “anxiety warriors”, it really inspires a lot of strength and gives me strength to get through this. If you fear going crazy, you will never go crazy. To everyone struggling with this, don’t lose faith, stay strong and we can all make it. Fear and anxiety are but tools that have their uses and sometimes they go out of control and get used in situations they’re not meant for; this is the core problem for those of us who struggle with anxiety. We can learn where to use these tools and where not to use them; it is only a matter of faith in yourself, effort and time. You are not alone and we all have the strength inside us to get through this so keep your head up kings and queens and rise above!

For me it started with anxiety and then once I read that people with schizophrenia have anxiety too, that’s when I started worrying like a mf . I started thinking I would develop schizophrenia from anxiety. But I now realize that ain’t how it works. No one in my family is schizophrenic also , but my mom and I think my dad too, do have anxiety. Especially social anxiety and self esteem issues. I’m just glad I finally am aware of what is causing my anxiety

No people who have psychotic episodes or schizophrenia are aware of it. What they aren’t aware of is the delusions. So in a psychotic episode, the person would believe they are Jesus, or the cia is following them, or their friends want to kill them, or their parents are aliens, and they truly believe those in the episode, this is a psychotic episode and they have delusional thoughts they believe. But after they come out of psychosis they know what they did and they know the thoughts they had were delusional.

Thats not totally true. People can develop schizophrenia from 30 years onwards. Up to that point yes there would be some early signs but are sane. Anything earlier than that is considered early schizophrenia. Some people can go crazy or loose sanity later in life. I personally feel like I'm slowly loosing it. I have bad Anxiety and Autism. Every bad episode I have I feel like I have lost it more and more.

I’ve had anxiety all my life and recently in my 30s it’s hit me like a freight train. Existential thoughts, weird thoughts about how I can talk myself in my mind, how my body works, fear of losing my mind, depersonalization and derealization, etc. What has been helping me is to understand these are all anxiety ridden, anxiety can literally feel like something else is the problem, it masks itself. Fear is so powerful and while this fear and anxiety are bubbling up your rational mind literally shuts off. Your rational brain turns off to make way for your survival brain. All of these thoughts are not rational and you have to remember what is happening to you physiologically and understand that you are not being rational with your thinking right now. These fears are all lies. Remember it takes your body 3-5 min to metabolize adrenaline caused by panic, unless you keep feeding it, you’ll be back to baseline. Remember that your thoughts are what trigger it. If you begin to question or have disturbing thoughts come up, recognize them, and pay them no mind, let them run through you, don’t entertain thoughts that don’t serve you. You’ll train your mind and you’ll get better at this the more you do it. You are in control. Tell yourself this. You are safe, you will get through it. Good luck!
