  1. Which of these mental illnesses are you aware of? Would you like more crash courses like these? We put in a lot of time to make this video. Hope you enjoy!

  2. I have every type of anxiety. The whole DLC pack including OCD that isn't diagnosed because even doctors think the "everything has to line up perfectly" stereotype is true😅 And ADHD. With ADHD, I say it's my brain that's hyperactive, but also not active enough, at the same time, all the time. Oh, and I have PTSD from a past life, and of course nobody believes me, so it goes undiagnosed and untreated. Yay -_-

  3. I saying this here because it's mental illness talking but I have anxiety and it likes to taunt me by making me fear the safety of my own home I don't feel safe and so I can't sleep at night because my brain says most murderers go for people at night so I need to have someone awake with me until I fall asleep but I feel bad because they have to deal with my problems and so I haven't told anyone not even my mother and if I'm being honest I'm scared I don't like it I want to feel safe but I do t want to tell other because Im afraid of them knowing I've never talked to others about anything I don't know what it's like I need help and I know I do but I hate that feeling I hate this feeling

  4. i desperately want to ask someone if i have adhd/anxiety but im scared people are going to say im just attention seeking

  5. My anxiety is so hard to deal it I'm throwing and can't eat, My stomach hurt and having Diarrhea when it's Trigger, I can't sleep without Doing all the things that I repeatedly doing even I did it 5x. what should I do pls help me😭

  6. It’s not really body image that makes me not eat, It’s that i don’t deserve it and it’s just wasting food on someone whos gonna die anyways

  7. I'm very highly aware of all of these mental illnesses because I have many friends who struggle with these and I do as well. Also.. is that Fran bow music O_O that's ironic-

  8. i’ve been diognosed with anxiety and depression for almost a year, but i’ve had it for almost 5. From this video, i think i might look into ptsd, and eating disorders with my thearapist

  9. if more people would bring their family to Church and hear the positive Word of God growing up, they would have less FEAR which is at the root of many malaises. Kids kill themselves because they don't believe anyone cares OR can change their circumstance that is upsetting them.

  10. I have social anxiety, bipolar and suffer from childhood trauma and it makes life a living hell. I absolutely hate it when people say “I have trauma and can’t do certain things in life UwU I can’t even touch grass because I am so shy” (Yes someone has said this to me before ) it really pisses me off because they don’t know the haunting and paranoia you get from it. It’s like running away from the devil

  11. So in school i became stressed when one exact teacher was teaching us, everytime he says my name it hurts inside and i cant seem to stand up or say anything. I dont understand.

  13. I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa a year ago my parents entered me to the physiatric clinic i stayed there for two months straight with doing nothing but only eating and with no therapy at all. Now that im out i have food obsession and binge eating disorder. Apparently this treatment led to nothing

  14. Well i have ptsd and some stuff, but my family doesnt know about it

    i kept it a secret over 3 years now, and its been hard, and im not even treated, just self heal and always think that everything is gonna be alright, and till now, i feel a bit lighter, well even tho some of us people suffer from depression and stuff, but still, its hard

  15. This was just recommended by yt to me and this remind me of 1 test given to us in my school the it indicates what mental illness you might have it might be a somewhat random test so others just answered randomly but I answered mine seriously (small reminder this happened when I was grade 11 so 1 yr b4 covid) and the result was I have more than 50% chance in every type of the 10(?) Types of metal illness, obviously I was shock but they just said it is just a probability and the test was just theoretical but the thought of having 10(?) Type of mental illness maybe more was shocking but at the end I still didn't seek help maybe because of fear or wasting money

  16. my mom and friend thought I had adhd (I don’t mean to self diagnose) and I fit all of these symptoms 🙀 my brother has it so there’s a high chance I do but last time they checked (when I was 3) I didn’t so yea

  17. Just some things to add to this: Mental illnesses appear differently for each person. It can be more major or minor depending on the person. For example: someone with anxiety may be worried that anything that they do will have a negative impact on their life. Others may just think people dislike them, and be anti-social. If someone you know has a mental disorder, don’t stariotypye
