I was made fun of for having anxiety and depression. After years of living with that, I decided to retreat inward and kept thoughts to myself. It wasn’t until I went into therapy that I started getting better, not well, but learn ways to cope.
It’s been a battle for years
your honesty is refreshing, Thank you Stay blessed
I deeply resonate with Zach’s struggles with anxiety, having navigated my own struggles with it throughout my life. I’ve come to understand that anxiety is a natural human emotion, often triggered by our bodies’ response to stress or negative self-talk. While it can feel overwhelming and unrecognizable at times, I’ve learned that these moments can actually be opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Through my own journey, I’ve made significant breakthroughs in understanding myself and developing strategies to regulate my nervous system when I’m feeling off balance. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and hope to continue learning and healing alongside others like Zach who are bravely sharing their own struggles. @heartsupport
I need a hug! Can’t remember when I haven’t been anxious! Childhood!
I have anxiety/panic disorder. I can go days without sleeping and I have panic attacks at night. It’s funny I sing songs in my head all night and this song plays on a loop sometimes. It’s so hard but we’re not alone.
“Just stop it” you don’t know until you do love the honesty and brotherhood we get to see in these videos, ASOBH is definitely one for the ages #legendary
I have had severe anxiety for the last 10 years and depression for the last 25 years. I’ve come a long way but some days are still really hard. Your music helps me get through the day more often than not. The good news is, I am able to use that experience to help others through it too. @heartsupport @shinedown
Candy is hot ===========
Fear of dying in a car crash driving across country, getting covid really bad and cbd, cured my anxiety for the most part. My gf couldn’t understand the debilitating part of it until she ended up getting it. The walls are melting too is an accurate description.
If only there was a way to rid this world of anxiety and depression.
i struggle more with depression than anxiety but shinedown always helps tremendously with both
I had anxiety and panic disorder when I was younger I would shut down completely it felt like nobody could understand or help me… I often heard those words just don’t be anxious best move I ever made was to embrace who I am and find my own zen (breathing, focusing on a singular object to ground myself, zoning out so I could zone back in) now you have a superpower zach once you understand yours it’s like a breath of fresh air to help others understand theirs… thank you for being human and sharing
@heartsupport Shinedown. I can relate. I suffer from severe PTSD the Shinedown imposters have triggered my anxieties and panic attacks. So bad that up until recently even listening to the music that helped me the most triggers anxiety. Shouldn’t be that way… I’m sorry
I understand as well! {{hugs}} I could use one right now myself…my car was stolen out of my driveway two days ago, and I’m trying to interview for jobs. Insert panic attack.
I wish I could have come to see you at Jenks in NJ my anxiety is so bad I can’t be in crowds you guys are the best.
Great message guys👏======
HeartSupport I felt more anxiety when I was drinking. 12 yrs i quit, was put on medication, but then I got to a moment where I had no emotions. I was almost too calm, so those pills went by. I struggle and worry and get anxious, BUT I always do 2 things. I praise God, and I congratulate myself for going through it sober, clear-headed,
You never really understand something unless you go through it. I have dealt with crippling anxiety since I was in middle school, I’m 38 now. I’ve been to therapists, on medications, and was in an outpatient program bc it, along with my depression got so bad. I’m on a medication regimen that does ok but its never really easy. I just wish people would learn to be more kind because you never know what someone is going through.
Love that Zach can come out and say what his Symptom is. I’m with you…until I experienced it I didn’t realize it was as bad as it can be. Thank you for your kind words…and grace
