Side note: all of the girls who sent in videos are SO SWEET and kind and amazing! Ah this is the sweetest cutest!!!

Hi Duan, I recently started having panic attacks and feeling like my heart was about to burst each time. Thanks to my doctor, I am taking medication and feeling much better. But sometimes it's just hard to know that my body doesn't handle my life well, it makes me feel like I am a weak and ungrateful person. So thank you for this video, to you and to every girl that spoke up, because sharing your stories made me feel less lonely. Thank you for making this part of the internet a happy place. I love you.

Duan I’ve followed you for years and you ALWAYS make me feel less alone and better about my severe anxiety issues. I also have a gene that’s linked to anxiety and have severe tummy issues and hand and foot cramps since my hands get so tense during panic attacks. ANYWAY, you’re not alone either!! If you ever feel like you’re shouting into a void, we all appreciate and GROW from you and have your back just the same! Thank you for your vulnerability and honestly! You’re out here keepin folks alive ♥️♥️

😭😭 love you so much!! We are all in this together!!

Craig at the end though 😂😂😂

Craig is my spirit animal...

Thank you so much for sharing this. My anxiety has gotten so bad the past few months that ive been crying on my way to work and panicking at my desk. I am definitely going to try some of these tips out. I also made an appointment with a therapist which is a good first step and i encourage others to do the same if they can.

When I'm feeling anxious I draw and take my camera and start shooting. Thank you so much for this video.

I hope that one day I will be as amazing as you. I'm at horrible state now, but you give me hope every day. You lost your father, you couldn't eat and had a lot of anxiety but you still kept going- and look at you now. Mesmerizing ray of happiness and sunshine. That's my goal, to grow and improve myself as you did. You are my inspiration, Duan. can't thank you enough. ❤

Awww yayyy I got so emotional watching this, it's like we're holding each others hands and letting us all know it'll be okay 😊💗😊💗

Duan, some time ago, your videos inspired me to have candles and I want to thank you for that. Lighting one makes me feel like I've accomplished something and that helps. Also, for me, writing poems, going on walks, and talking to my favorite people helps.

you're so strong and beautiful. thank you for sharing your positivity and helping all of your viewers with their own mental health journeys ❤ honestly, for me it just started with the calming nature in your vlogs helping my anxiety, then the cute moments with your friends helping me feel less lonely and depressed. And then you say such beautiful inspiring things that truly resonate so deeply. You spread a lot of love and positivity which is so necessary in todays world, and on the internet which can be a very negative place. So much love to you ❤

the fact that this has no dislikes 💖

I really love and appreciate this! I've been batting anxiety since I was a little girl and it has led to autoimmune issues. It important to take a deep breath and think about all the things we can be grateful for. I try to do at least one little thing a day for myself to settle. Whether is it to go sit on the beach, drink a tea or write a poem. Sending strength to all of you!

I love you... you help so many people just by being you... We're all in this together, holding each other up in whatever small way that we can...

I am so proud for being part of this video! It was very useful for me taking advices from other people around the world, I felt less alone and I have learned new things. Thank you for this video, Duan! Have a great day 😊❤

Thank you so much for this!! ❤❤ wish i could have said more.. But this helped me physically and spiritually. 🌱🤗 praying for you, Duan!!!

you have the most relaxing voice!

Omg I have the same anxiety issues, thank you for speaking about it!

Duan thankyou thankyou thankyou for this video! I can't tell you how easy it is to feel so incredibly alone when every 2 weeks or so I just experience this deep intense sadness and especially WORRY over anything and everything for no reason. And how hard it is to explain to those close to me I just feel so sad, helpless and fearfeal with worry. I needed this video so much :) And that one quote that said "Its just a feeling" really spoke to me! I will definitely try to add these practices into my life.

immediately clicked on this when i got a notification.. i was just looking for a video about coping with stress so i cant wait to watch my fave youtuber x

Hey How are you doing...thanks for the video. It really helps people a lot 💖

This is so helpful

This is amazing, i learned so much about anxiety and how i can help other who have it.

Thank you Duan!

Thank you Duan !!! Your videos are sooo helpful for me whenever i have worse days. Your positivity is contagious :D

This is so amazing

This is just so wonderful, thank you for this!

This made me cry and idk why 😂 love you duan Ur a queen

11:29 I liked hearing about listening to music hear to feel calmer. Can relate to this. Love this video though. Mental health is important and we are also trying to talk about them in our app and videos! Definitely subscribing, looking forward to more about this!

Hi Duan, thank you for sharing this, I couldn't participate because am in a different part of the world, but am curious, do you have any spiritual outlet in your life? I know many people are not religious or spiritual, but having a sense of something bigger than myself has helped me a lot as well. It helps me rely on someone much bigger than myself for anything that am experiencing at the moment, praying is a meditation for me, voicing out my fears and inadequacies to God, letting myself be vulnerable and naked to a force that wont judge me has been therapy for me. Also, take a journey back to when your anxiety started and find out if there is an underlying reason for it. I used to get depressed when I was a teenager mostly because of the changes and emotions I was experiencing for the first time, I didn't know how to deal with them or how to handle love and rejection, body weight changes, but as I have gotten older, it has got better. In my early twenties, I had so much ambition and I wanted to achieve so much in such a short period of time but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere, it got frustrating especially when I compared myself to my friends and the great jobs they had, the relationships that they were in. I realised that life is a journey and everyone else is different, so I take it a step at a time right now, and appreciate the small victories all the way. All in all Duan, take that painful journey back in time, look at the pain you have been through, the highs and lows, cry if you have to, I feel like there is some healing that has to take place within. I hope am not overstepping.
