YouTube BAD ??

YouTube has hundreds of different things to do for anxiety. I have a friend who ended up in a psyche ward from all her friends telling her she had different things wrong ( it was anxiety).

I had a doctor tell me once with severe anxiety you were better off being in a dark room with no stimulation or data coming in.

Anxiety is a very tired nervous system and every thought is some stress - what do you think??

Once a few years back, I had a family member that was extremely anxious, living in a terribly anxious state. I think even stuck in fight flight freeze. It was bad.

Anyway, we brought her to the hospital bc her doctor said that's what we should do. They put us in a really quiet, sound proof room with no tv or stimulation of any kind, dim lights and a nice comfy bed. The doctor was educated in mental illness and was gentle with her. It was the only time in a month or so that I saw her that calm. She wasn't completely out of the woods but, it helped. There's something to it I think to some degree. Even temporarily to give your nervous system a break- for some people anyways. 🤷‍♀️

My anxiety is killing me. Its foundation for me has been experiencing all the bad aspects of the new york city mental health system.

I'm sorry lonepain. You're feelings are valid. The mental healthcare system in general is terrible. We have a ways to go to get to a better place imo. I hope I'm wrong bc we need proper mental healthcare desperately.
