I havea flight in two days. I have anxiety and depression. Ahhh help me God.

*I feel like my phobia could also be linked to a fear of God I have. I feel like if I think, do or say something bad or ‘sinful’ then something horrible will happen to me. Sometimes I feel like I did something bad and the storm is God ‘punishing me for it’. Also the suddenness of the lights and noise scares me so muchhh*

i know for flying first time your obviously nervous but if you just make good out of bad situations and use tactis to distract your mind then you will never notice it

I have the same phobia

That skit gave me PTSD. And this is why I rather be homeless than work in another call center.

I've been suffering from this since I was a child I especially hate it at night when I'm sleeping when it starts it always keeps me awake especially when the thunder is loud

This is my 22nd year of call centers.. anything from accidental death and dismemberment, insurance, internet service, timeshares, travel and now taxes. My gosh its been a journey...

Mine might be the opposite, I think I had phone anxiety with another job where I was only on the phone sparingly, I thought a call center could help me break through it, but it proved the opposite and confirmed that it if I don’t enjoy calls here and there, clocking in at 7:30 and immediately taking calls would kill me lol so I left just yesterday while we were still in training.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 they got you girl. Mind is gone.

I worked at a call center for Walgreens, and it was a total life-suck. Pathetic, worthless management, employees and the same with the rude customer's. The best thing that happened, was losing my job.

about the anxiety, for me I was very shy and timid before working in a call center but a month and a half in it started to change into something else people no longer seemed scary but talking on the phone in general just became harder for me, it got so bad I my phone has been on silent mode since 2019 not exaggerating

Thank you for sharing this vulnerable side. I’m a mom to a 2 year old. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well. I’ve been sickly anxious for my flight next month with my daughter. Seeing you get through this has been helpful for me. ❤

19 yr old and suffering from astraphohia terribly which gives me terrible anxiety 🙂

this is EXACTLY the issue I am having right now. I suffer from anxiety and call centers make it worse. I have never liked speaking on the phone with people unless its close friends. I tried working in customer service call center homes and each time I am more and more convinced that call centers isn't for me. today was the worst day ever repeating the same damn call script over and over, having to deal with irritated customers on the line who would get mad that I couldn't solve their issue ASAP and worse, I can't tell those customers that I am a trainee learning the info. Call Centers suck and that's why now I am searching for jobs that have absolutely NOTHING to do with phone calls due my anxiety increasing even more in these jobs.

Thought its was only me dealing with anxitety especially the first call of the day. I just try to enjoy it as best as i can when you feel down it will reflect to the customers too and they will just return back the energy

The technique is just dont put a lot of emotion to it, not every call willxbe perfect if you have irate customers move on to the next and just relax

I work at home and that atleast help but still

Only once in a blue moon do I talk on my personal phone anymore because I'm so tired of doing it for work. Text only. I got hired during covid.

They tell me doing outbound isnt cold calls well then why is this man going off on me about calling him😩. I work from home with a toddler multitasking and all I hear from management is that my calls are low I need to make more a day im seriously drained on calls and my anxiety is through the roof

One should never tell an anxious person not to feel that way. It is condescendent and lacks empathy. I am a nervous flyer and I am highly sensitive to motion. When the plain moves up and dowm, I feel like I'm falling. This is what makes things unbearable. Sitting straight doesn't help me. I prefer to bend to waistlenght. I would be on fetal position if I could.

Helps😃

I also have this phobia it’s really bad. Every time it says there’s gonna be severe weather or a possible chance of severe weather I still panic. And I’m a kid so uh yeah

Same fear😢keep watching videos to overcome this phobia😅

Having astraphobia, is not a joke😢 I felt I have to breakdown any moment, so I started to seek help online.. Thunderstorm right now😥😩

Yesterday, there was a terrible thunderstorm. It was windy, thunder, lightning, and extremely heavy rain. I’m absolutely TERRIFIED of the wind. What I did was, put on my tv super loud, closed the blinds, put in my headphones on, and ate some ice cream. It helped a little bit but I’m still scared. Do you guys have any tips?

I used to work at a call center. I used to tell the callers, no you cannot speak to a manager, you can speak to me. Never heard a complaint from a manager.

It's not a job for the everyone. You are hilarious, Lol. I enjoyed watching.

Thanks for sharing this! Takeoff is the worst for me too!

Am flying Sunday will come back to testify

You made it! I’m gonna make it too. I like how you put it in time perspective. Thank you 💙

15 seconds?! Thats not a fear of flying. Thats a fear of acceleration. The real fear is the ascending all the way up to cruising altitude. That takes up to twenty minutes and that's a lifetime when you panic like I do. I WISH I had your problem.

well done

There is a thunderstorm at the moment, my backyard has been struck by lightning 4 times in one month, and it TRIGGERED me, I don’t have curtains in my bedroom and my roof is thin. I am terrified right now, I can’t distract myself, everytime I try I end up pausing my distraction and freezing in place so I feel secure and safe.

It's a trip right. During the flight and landing, im totally fine, even during turbulence. But the waiting and take off, Im a different person.. a mess basically. All for whats really just seconds of time. I sometimes count or say the alphabet backwards.

I'm to the point where I think I'm gonna work in fast food instead.

Myfear too and then one time we went through a thunderstorm with lots of lightnings. That sure wont help my fear of storms. Im very traumatized.

I've never worked in a call center but office jobs, I've had calls from people who have been so rude to me, especially about issues that have nothing to do with myself or the department I work in. Office jobs have made me hate people more and personally, I am trying to get out of this field and go to a job where I deal with less people or no people. 😂

Stay strong The world is full of amazing place to visit so do not be so scary ❤

This video was very helpful and I deal with some of the same over thinking. I have yet to find someone who has the same exact symptoms as me. I used to be completely fine on flights and one time 5 years ago I was flying and a gentleman behind me had a breathing tube or something and kept breathing at a very fast pace and my mind tricked me to try and match his rhythm. And it freaked me out! I’ve never been the same since. I cannot eat or drink anything while flying and I feel like I don’t let myself breathe on my own and it’s more of a manual breathing and it’s miserable

If that ever happens, stand up for yourself. Ms Manager you will take this call and I'm transferring to you now. 😂. Don't let them walk all over you.

I have have a school trip to DC next month and I get very nervous every time I think about it. It’ll be my first time flying without my parents and not having them to talk to if I’m panicking scares me. I also have been struggling more with my OCD and so it’s hard to not let the intrusive thoughts in. And if im not sat by a friend I fear I’ll suffer through the ride and then have to do it all over again on the ride back. Any tips??

I literally drag myself out of bed everyday, it sucks beyond imaginable and it's only been one month, can't imagine what would happen to me after a year. 😢

I was looking for Astrophobia (fear of space and celestial bodies) and came across this video. This makes me realize that I'm kinda afraid of thunder/lightning too. At the same time, both of these fears fascinates me, especially astronomy. The climax of all this is the observation of giant lightning on Jupiter. Anyway, thanks for your video pretty lady.

🌬 Take a moment to breathe deeply and release the tension. When I am scared in a plane I turn to music as my oasis of tranquility. 🏝🎵 Drop a 🏝 if you're feeling centered when you listen to music on a plane!

I have a bad fear of thunder and lightning as well. I don't live in the best spot for it either. I live in Singapore where thunderstorms happen basically everyday. I always expect it, it will be bright and sunny one second, and the sky will be completely dark one second later. There is never heavy rain without lightning here. It's been super hard, as i've lived here for 4 years and I do go to therapy for it, so i'm hoping it will get better.

I stumbled across this video today and within the last few days I have been stumbling across other videos of people who have quit their call-center jobs. I’ve been in this field for seven years and it is stressful. At work today, I learned at one of my coworkers have left the company. That actually gives me courage because I have been considering looking for other opportunities either within the company, that does not involve the phone or looking for a new job altogether.

I have the same problem What is the solution?

Call centers are stressful because you dont know if the person you talk to next is going to be an asshole or not.
