Pharoahe Monch – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Demi Lovato – Warrior (Official Video)

Lyrics

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You’re a criminal
And you steal like you’re a pro’

All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I’m a warrior
Now I’ve got thicker skin
I’m a warrior
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can’t get in
I’m a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I’m burning like a fire
You can save your apologies
You’re nothing but a liar
I’ve got shame, I’ve got scars
But I will never show
I’m a survivor
In more ways than you know

‘Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I’m not broken or bruised

‘Cause now I’m a warrior
Now I’ve got thicker skin
I’m a warrior
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can’t get in
I’m a warrior
And you can never hurt me

There’s a part of me I can’t get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I’ll never be the same

Now I’m taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
‘Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I’m a warrior
I’ve got thicker skin
I’m a warrior
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can’t get in
I’m a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

No-oh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can never hurt me again

Acute Stress Disorder

What’s acute stress disorder?

In the weeks after a traumatic event, you may develop an anxiety disorder called acute stress disorder (ASD). ASD typically occurs within one month of a traumatic event. It lasts at least three days and can persist for up to one month. People with ASD have symptoms similar to those seen in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

What causes acute stress disorder?

Experiencing, witnessing, or being confronted with one or more traumatic events can cause ASD. The events create intense fear, horror, or helplessness. Traumatic events that can cause ASD include a:

death
threat of death to oneself or others
threat of serious injury to oneself or others
threat to the physical integrity of oneself or others

Approximately 6 to 33 percent of people who experience a traumatic event develop ASD, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This rate varies based on the nature of the traumatic situation. read more

Rachel Platten – Fight Song (Official Video)

Lyrics

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried about me

In too deep
Say I’m in too deep (in too deep)
And it’s been two years I miss my home
But there’s a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong (I’ll be strong)
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me

Know I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me

People are often familiar with the idea of separation anxiety as it relates to young children’s fear of being apart from their parents, but older children and adults can experience it as well.

Autoheart – Agoraphobia (Official Music Video)

Lyrics

If you gave me all the money
I would buy such ordinary
Things like Tv-Magazines and coffee beans
I have such simple needs

Tried on thirty different pairs of shoes
And not one made me want to
Leave this blessed house of mine
That’s just fine
I really don’t want to go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere

I am dented
By the scars that keep me up at night
And it’s not agoraphobia
It’s just a lack of air supply
That keeps me up at night
I know I’m getting older
But I’m told that I’m not momentarily out of my mind

Don’t need to be hospitalized
To make me realize that I’ve got a problem
No I haven’t, let me be
I really don’t want to go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere

But
I am dented
By the scars that keep me up at night
And it’s not agoraphobia
It’s just a lack of air supply
That keeps me up at night
I know I’m getting older
But I’m told that I’m not momentarily out of my

I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere
I don’t really wanna go anywhere (I will not go)
I don’t really wanna go anywhere (I will not go)
I don’t really wanna go anywhere (I will not go)
I don’t really wanna go anywhere

Oh, I am dented
By the scars that keep me up at night
And it’s not agoraphobia
It’s just a lack of air supply
That keeps me up at night
I know I’m getting older
But I’m told that I’m not momentarily out of my mind

Agoraphobia

What Is Agoraphobia?

Agoraphobia is a rare type of anxiety disorder. If you have it, your fears keep you from getting out into the world. You avoid certain places and situations because you think you’ll feel trapped and not be able to get help.

For example, you might worry or panic when you are in:

Public transportation (buses, trains, ships, or planes)
Large, open spaces (parking lots, bridges)
Closed-in spaces (stores, movie theaters)
Crowds or standing in line
Being outside your home alone

You may be willing to go just a handful of places, or you may even dread leaving your house.

Agoraphobia Causes and Risk Factors

Doctors aren’t sure what causes agoraphobia. They think it runs in families. You may get it if you have a lot of panic attacks. That’s when you have bursts of fear that come out of the blue and last for a few minutes. These happen when there’s no real danger.

Less than 1% of people in the U.S. have agoraphobia. Women are two to three times more likely to have it than men, and it’s more common in teenagers and young adults.

A few other things that can raise your chances of it include having:

Panic disorder, especially if it’s not treated
Other phobias
A family member who has agoraphobia
A history of very stressful or traumatic events read more

HRVY – Phobia

Lyrics
I just don’t know where to start
Time moves slow, now we’re apart
When we first met i was strong
I tell you my story
In this it was me and you
Thought that we were winners, oh
Where story heart winners go
(?) Can’t get between us

But i’ve been sleeping with the light on
Like i’m afraid of the dark
Afraid of a broken heart
I don’t wanna break your heart
No, no, no

I’ve got a phobia of being without ya
I’ve got a phobia of being alone
It’s only a matter of time, girl
Before i break down
Because i can’t start being without ya
I’ve got a phobia of letting you go
And i want you to know
I’m not afraid, no
I’m safe with you

We’ve been holding on so long
Time will make or break us, so
Go with you, i can’t let go
You know it’s about us

But i’ve been sleeping with the light on
Like i’m afraid of the dark
Afraid of a broken heart
I don’t wanna break your heart
No, no, no

And i don’t wanna be alone
Cause you’re the only one for me
And i’m finding it hard to breathe here, breathe here
You could be, the only way out of this place that i’m in
It’s like i’m living a bad dream, bad dream
And only you can wake me, yeah

I’ve been sleeping with the light on
Like i’m afraid of the dark
Afraid of a broken heart
I don’t wanna break your heart
No, no, no ohhh

I’m safe with you oh oh ohhh ohhhh

Specific phobias

Overview

Specific phobias are an overwhelming and unreasonable fear of objects or situations that pose little real danger but provoke anxiety and avoidance. Unlike the brief anxiety you may feel when giving a speech or taking a test, specific phobias are long lasting, cause intense physical and psychological reactions, and can affect your ability to function normally at work, at school or in social settings.

Specific phobias are among the most common anxiety disorders, and not all phobias need treatment. But if a specific phobia affects your daily life, several therapies are available that can help you work through and overcome your fears — often permanently.

Symptoms

A specific phobia involves an intense, persistent fear of a specific object or situation that’s out of proportion to the actual risk. There are many types of phobias, and it’s not unusual to experience a specific phobia about more than one object or situation. Specific phobias can also occur along with other types of anxiety disorders.

Common categories of specific phobias are a fear of:

Situations, such as airplanes, enclosed spaces or going to school
Nature, such as thunderstorms or heights
Animals or insects, such as dogs or spiders
Blood, injection or injury, such as needles, accidents or medical procedures
Others, such as choking, vomiting, loud noises or clowns

Each specific phobia is referred to by its own term. Examples of more common terms include acrophobia for the fear of heights and claustrophobia for the fear of confined spaces.

No matter what specific phobia you have, it’s likely to produce these types of reactions:

An immediate feeling of intense fear, anxiety and panic when exposed to or even thinking about the source of your fear
Awareness that your fears are unreasonable or exaggerated but feeling powerless to control them
Worsening anxiety as the situation or object gets closer to you in time or physical proximity
Doing everything possible to avoid the object or situation or enduring it with intense anxiety or fear
Difficulty functioning normally because of your fear
Physical reactions and sensations, including sweating, rapid heartbeat, tight chest or difficulty breathing
Feeling nauseated, dizzy or fainting around blood or injuries
In children, possibly tantrums, clinging, crying, or refusing to leave a parent’s side or approach their fear read more

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

What Is ADHD?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that affects how you pay attention, sit still, and control your behavior. It happens in children and teens and can continue into adulthood.

ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder in children. Boys are more likely to have it than girls. It’s usually spotted during the early school years, when a child begins to have problems paying attention.

ADHD can’t be prevented or cured. But spotting it early, plus having a good treatment and education plan, can help a child or adult with ADHD manage their symptoms.

ADHD Symptoms

Symptoms in children

Symptoms are grouped into three types:

Inattentive. A child with ADHD:

Is easily distracted
Doesn’t follow directions or finish tasks
Doesn’t seem to be listening
Doesn’t pay attention and makes careless mistakes
Forgets about daily activities
Has problems organizing daily tasks
Doesn’t like to do things that require sitting still
Often loses things
Tends to daydream

Hyperactive-impulsive. A child with ADHD:

Often squirms, fidgets, or bounces when sitting
Doesn’t stay seated
Has trouble playing quietly
Is always moving, such as running or climbing on things. (In teens and adults, this is more often described as restlessness.)
Talks excessively
Is always “on the go,” as if “driven by a motor”
Has trouble waiting for their turn
Blurts out answers
Interrupts others

Combined. This involves signs of both other types. read more
