Living with Anxiety Disorder (Stand-up Comedy)

"Nothing is scarier than having to fight your own mind." Great so see comedians bringing out such sensitive topics and educating people. Much love, Daniel! ☺️👍

If you have Anxiety disorder and you are speaking publicly with so much courage and trying to educate people with your jokes . You are an inspiration Daniel . I always loved your work but you earned my respect today :) . Way to go

I was a public speaker but there were streets I couldnt walk down...just normal streets with great cafes but my anxiety decided nope. That was just one episode of a year or so but I could still do public speaking. Anxiety doesnt always make fing sense

[@bradleydane2882]

my anixety has little to do with public speaking it’s weird it just effects us all differently

SO BLOODY TRUE. ANXIETY IS LIKE HAVING A HEART ATTACK TWICE OR THRICE A WEEK.

Yup Very True😓😓

Definitely. Plus I think I'm having a heart attack which then triggers panic attacks. It's a vicious circle.

[@sweetangelpayal]

And then there are people like you, comedians, helping those battling with their issues overcome them by making them laugh, even if it is for 5 minutes. Thank you.

[@bushraat]

I am a clinical Psychology student and have an exam and I was just reading about Anxiety Disorders and needed a break, came online and saw this on my recommendation. Thank you for having a humour about it and not making it a social disparity although,yes, the seriousness of it needs to be spread. This was one amazing way to spread awareness, hope you are well and happy (:

[@vijaykaushik1453]

My favorite quote from this special , " It is easy to win a battle when the enemy is on the outside, you can see them ,they have distinguishing features. But what if the enemy looks like you, what if the enemy is you."

[@divya_sancheti04]

"When u have a mental illness, every single day is a battle." I felt that and I want to tell this to everyone including my older self who used to think that if u have mental illness u r weak :( sadly society makes us believe this but ask yourself, the tasks that r easy for others r a challenge to u..trust me u r stronger than them coz u r going through so much and still not giving up and doing your best♡ Once I understood this I became more positive about myself and it helped so much

[@freq3493]

He always felt that he was left out. That was so well clouded with laughter

[@KKISCRAZYFUL]

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid I'll do something that embarrasses me the rest of my life. So it's easier to just not be social. Thanks for speaking out about this.

[@usnap.1754]

"It's like you know how to swim yet you keep drowning and you don't die" finally i have got words to explain my situation to certain people,thanks for the words. it is amazing how you are able to talk about something so serious in a comedy way, Keep up the amazing work bro!!!!

Daniel, you are probably the only stand-up comedian who ponders upon real issues & make them funny too by explaining them n your own way & also pushing us tk think over it. Anxiety + depression are real problems faced by every other person these days n this is difficult to overcome. Only "will" & time can make you better.

[@sibylgenia]

This video is like a warm hug from a comedy-loving friend. Thanks for the chuckles

[@brandistringfield3489]

I suffer from several mental illnesses and this hit home with me. I understand feeling and constantly thinking I am going to die then going into full on fight or flight several times a day. It can last hours and even days. Depression on top of that makes it to where I feel it is too much to handle and that I am a burden on those I love due to what I go through. Every single day is a battle to get through. If you are going through it as well just know you are not alone. We will make it through this we are stronger than our illnesses.

[@Kanonball1999]

I just got done having a horrible panic attack I was about to dial 911 but I started to calm down. I was searching for a video to make me laugh and cheer me up.

[@collinsenosh]

Can comedy be horror? This one is that. Funny and scary at the same time.

[@MawdyDev]

"This would have been so much simpler if our friends were easier to trust" is one of the most relatable things I've ever heard out of a stand-up comedian's mouth. Maybe not in the way of "my friends can't keep secrets," though; in my case, it's because I can't trust my friends not to cut all contact with me for talking to them about my stress, even once. I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells with everyone, all the time.

[@neosmith166]

@Daniel Fernandez you are the smartest comedian/artist I've ever watched, I'm a big fan of your work and your courage. This is the first time in life I'm laughing and also crying while watching a stand up set. Crying because of some personal memories, and laughing while crying because of your jokes. I just want to pray for your success and your good health buddy 🙏. May you keep growing in life. You're the best.

[@CowTypeSh]

didn’t laugh but that has yet to happen with comedians. Still this was my favorite comedian i’ve seen.

[@NarsFromMars]

Anxiety sufferer from Iran 🙋. It's a living hell. Even a 'mild' attack- which has been with me for 2 weeks now- is a living nightmare. You don't have the concentration or the energy to do ANYTHING. And the worse thing about it is that there's no quick fix so that you can avoid a weeks-long PAUSE in everything. Even with meds.

[@conversationswithkat5710]

I actually have 2 genetic rare disorders that I have battled with for 45 years. They both cause severe pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and about 50 other symptoms. I was only diagnosed once I convinced my doctor to let me see a specialist in genetics. The blood work proved that it wasn’t in my head. We have such an epidemic of mental illness that our doctors now ignore everything they can’t understand, and waste years of our lives trying to convince us that our anxiety is the issue. That may be true for some, but not all of us, so we need to stand together in educating others about this very real issue!

Soooo true! I keep telling people that to explain mental illness to them in simpler terms! And yes! You know swimming, but you're drowning, yet you won't die! That's exactly how i once explained it to a friend of mine! Because that's exactly what it feels like! And i too recommend therapy to everyone! I'm glad you're doing better, Daniel 🤗🤗

[@aritramaitra3341]

I have the exact same kind of anxiety problems like Daniel. Even if I have a simple headache, I feel convinced that I have cancer and I would die. But going for therapy really really helps. I know many are prejudiced about this, but trust me, talking to a trained professional is much more helpful than talking to a friend. If you feel down, do not hesitate. Go for therapy. Its awesome!

Love this , we need to bring mental health through every angle we can. People relate to comedy. They draw all their attention to it. So why not inform them about mental health.

The last where he said, if our friends were easier to trust. Went to therapy twice and realised my good friends do the same thing as what my therapist does. Unless you are on medications or suicidial I highly recommend building a safe tribe of your own. Also, someone recently questioned me about how we can talk so much about anxiety. Took me 6 years to be here and tell that person I have anxiety issues only to be mocked at. So, ya choose your tribe carefully. I thought that person would be a friend soon, but I guess they have more learning to do on empathy part. But yeah, have my tribe and wish and pray for each one of you to have

[@vaibhavprasanna7872]

At first I thought u were going to do mockery of such a sensitive issue which a lot of people suffer with, and are clueless & helpless about. And I was also convinced, knowing the person u are upon following u for so many years, that u wouldn't do such thing. Well.. I was so glad to find out at the end of the video that where u were trying to take this act. It felt so warm and empathetic, and still funny. Cheers, Daniel Sir. :)
