didnt expect ashley to talk about the accident but its amazing to see her recovery. it seems like her company and parents really helped her mental health not worsen.

[@MrsAlmightyKey]

Agree, like frfr she did GREAT and by that I mean how she responded to people saying to her all the time "you don't look happy, you look depressed, you look super sad, what's wrong!?!?". Like her explaining how she handled it was awesome because most people in that mindset would've been like "what do you mean what's wrong, like I lost 2 whole ass sisters AND went through physically pain like what!!!" So I truly commend her, for her courage and maturity about going about it!!!

[@ImPanChan]

I really love Peniel's mindset in this, not gonna lie. Like, when he was talking about how Cube leadership was like, "You gotta change your mindset, you gotta feel like you're gonna die if you don't debut" and Peniel's like, "I mean, I don't feel like that" tbh, after going to art school, I felt like "Oh, if I don't land my dream job right out of college, i'm going to die" so I worked really hard to the point of exhaustion for my degree...only to realize that it wasn't worth it. I kinda wish I would've enjoyed my college years a bit more instead of be constantly stressed with school/internship/work/projects constantly. I'm a little bit jealous ^^ If anyone's reading this, please have Peniel's mindset uwu

[@Moviemusiclover198]

I was in the same boat with my science degree. I didnt enjoy it at all and nearly killed myself trying to complete it but I thought I'd die if I didn't get my degree. Its not worth it. I now have anxiety and panic disorder. Stay safe everyone

[@ImPanChan]

@@Moviemusiclover198 It's wild to me, because now I work at a job within my field and I realized, "I nearly was sent to the hospital....for this?" and it's a really good job, not gonna lie. But my friends that enjoyed college were able to get the same job--without health complication. And then for me, I realized it's not where I want to be in life. It's also funny because people in my job, when we worked in the office (now remotely, because you know, pandemic) we all used to sit in a circle in a cubicle and just talk to each other of our design school trauma. LOL. Don't listen to professors that tell you that they're looking for the best of the best. Becuase you're going to be trained in your job anyways, even after a degree!! Also, deadlines can be pushed back most of the time in the real world?? I hope you stay safe too!!

The saddest thing about the industry they're in is that anxiety attacks and pressure easily comes with the job, and there have only been so much celebrities coming out with the news and taking a hiatus, we have only seen what idols showcase on the screen that we as fans, are ignorant that these things happen behind the scenes. Thank you so much for talking about this topic and honestly, we need more discussion by both fans and idols themselves about this issue.

[@krishaagrawal1922]

I honestly think that speaking about health issues and anxiety an stuff on this platform is a really good thing...i mean not everyone can talk about their low days...it actually helps people to know that famous people or celebs have a really really tough life too (and not perfecr as they think) it also helps people to know that its pretty natural to have anxiety and how you can get over it and motivate yourself...so I thank you guys for sharing your stories and also making this podcast so fun

[@popcornandanime]

I honestly enjoy watching these podcast. When I work throughout the day and I get in certain mood, I’ll watch a podcast. It’s so insightful and the topics are real. They’re topics that I truly enjoy and everyone is so honest and fun. When I see people being themselves, laughing and vibing, my mood gets 100 times better. You can tell when people do things because they enjoy verses just doing it because you have to. Anyways~ back to the topic. I think people feel pressure by their environment. People have developed a single view of what success is. To some people, success it: having a car, spouse, and house by 25. Not just that, parental expectations is a HUGE piece in pressure. They want you to do what they couldn’t but sometimes that expectation gets to you and you never learn that it’s okay to fail. It’s okay. One thing about life is that you can fail and try again. Lastly, pressure to appease the world. When you do something to please others, you lose your way. You lose your confidence and positivity and the pressure gets heavier and heavier. Everything you do, do it for YOU. Wanna lose weight? Do it for you! Want to become a photographer? Do it for you! If you want to rap or sing? Do it for yourself.

[@sheymag9142]

I related to this episode a lot. Paniel's mindset was very comforting during such trying times. The whole comparing to your siblings thing has happened to me too. At first it was everyone else who was compared to me but when I realized that I didn't win what I most desired out of that I kinda stopped being so "perfect". And then I ended up being compared to my big sister a lot, even during the "perfect" faze. I tried so hard to be better and to be my own individual but no matter how hard I tried I felt like I would never get there so I just tried to do it the way I wanted to but it seems like my parents still had a problem with that. However it's all good now. For me at least. This whole episode was needed and it was great. Very great so thank you guys!😊 Catch me relisten to this from time to time.

Pressure is a result of expectations and ego, whether that is from yourself or from other people. The higher the expectation, the bigger the ego to achieve it. I dunno, just my opinion 🤷🏽

This conversation, when it lead to anxiety attacks, I genuinely teared up thinking of my own. As well as my negative mental health... *exhales* Exhausting.

these are such important convos to have and normalize, thank you Dive Studios for facilitating them and of course Ashley, Matthew, Peniel and Eric for sharing their experiences

I honestly love how they talk about anxiety and pressure so openly. They’re humans just like the rest of us and they faced so many hardships that we don’t even know about. But I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this podcast especially while trying to finish college (already in my 6 year) the pressure to conform to society standard is astounding yet we should know that we should enjoy life

Thank you guys so much for sharing! I’m currently in college and plan on going to medical school. I’m like Eric and put a ton of pressure on myself. I’ve also struggled with both stress induced gastritis and colitis. I’ve also struggled with panic attacks. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone and that everyone stresses. I love this podcast, y’all, and all of the encouragement y’all give!

This episode was almost too real. I could relate to a lot of things they have talked about before but the talk about anxiety, panic attacks and depression took me back to a time when I wasn't doing well. It's like listening to close friends having a talk because you feel like they have been there to and they understand you. I really love this podcast. It makes me smile, laugh, cry and it feels real

I’m so glad they talked about this! Love you guys! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
