Triggers - Anxiety Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
Yeah, triggers. This is different for everybody. I'm a believer of doing hard things or things that aren't the most like comfortable. For me, my anxiety is primarily based around speaking. I think I have a little bit of a speech impediment. So yeah, doing even this is like a little challenging, but I'm glad to do it and to do hard things. And as I get more comfortable, it comes really easy. So, so yeah, that's me personally. A lot of people might be kind of the same, at least with like speaking in front of other people and that's okay. You can do it. You can handle it. I'm learning through it, but it's worth it. And so you got this, but, but yeah, that's my experience with anxiety.

A lot of triggers for me as someone with anxiety are crowded places with a lot of people. I used to be a very social person, as most people would call it, a social butterfly. But over the years, as time went on and I did develop anxiety, I became more introverted. And talking to people is very hard for me. A lot of times, high stress situations are another trigger. If I've got too much building up around me or there's just too big of a list of things I need to do, it can also trigger me.

The main triggers always happen in the person's mind before it even starts. So train yourself to stop doing that and to enjoy yourself first instead of caving in quickly before it even started.

At least for me, the greatest trigger is like a new situation. Maybe like going to a new event or a new class at school where I don't know what to expect or traveling out of the country to a place that I've never been. I think just the unknown can be really triggering sometimes when you don't feel comfortable with something. It can be really easy to feel anxious.

The majority of my anxiety attacks have come from like multiple hard things hitting me at once. So say something bad happened to me an hour earlier and I was having a really off day and then I got some news that I really didn't want to hear and then like the simplest little thing after that will just put me over and then I'll go into that spiral. So it's been really hard, it's been a really hard process as I've gotten older trying to deal with that and stop it before it spirals. But I'd say that's something that has happened to me a lot in the past.

Something that really, I guess, causes my anxiety to flare up is when I'm faced with an unknown, and I guess that is true of a lot of people with anxiety, but for me, really anytime I don't know what's going to happen, so like for instance, I'm taking a class right now that doesn't have a syllabus, and I have no idea what the class is going to look like or when I'm going to have assignments due or, you know, what's going to be on my tests, and that really stresses me out. Anything of that nature, even going to parties that I don't know a lot of people at or I don't know who's going to be there, that stresses me out.
