@charolettschneider6023 hey I know how that feels. I just found out 3 out of 4 ppl in the US are lonely. So that made me feel better because I wasn't alone. I have alot of anxiety when I first wake up. It feels horrible and I pray and breathe. I'm not religious but praying to a higher power helps some. I'm getting off benzos so my anxiety is really difficult. I hope you're OK. I go to the hospital sometime if it gets bad.
Mate I feel the same I am a six foot 7 well built man nobody would expect it but yes I do panic I have a sense of impending doom you couldn’t even imagine, you’re not alone and believe me we can get through this.
I’ve been in a panic attack for 5 days straight now. I went to the ER and they told me it was just anxiety. I have the shakes, racing heart, and struggle breathing. I’ve been convincing myself that I’m dying and something is wrong with me. Even tho the doctors said I’m perfectly healthy. But I am so happy to see the comments and know that I am not alone ❤ Hey update‼️‼️. I have been doing much better. It was really rough for 5 months straight. The anxiety turned into severe paranoia and I thought the air and food was poisoned. But now the last couple weeks I have started to finally feel normal again. Thank you all for the loving comments and suggestions. It means the world to me
i know i am not dying but panic attacks are uncomfortable and the mind will not stop. its the desire for peace is so strong. you know what it is but the body does what it wants.
That's exactly what I'm going through. I prepare my mind to be ready for it to push past it, have enough courage summoned but before I know it, my body activates a flight response and I turn tail and go back home.
@@TyVince-p6r Very well put! (Preparing your mind to push past it and having the needed courage, but before you know it...) Well, that's what I felt at 3:00 this afternoon. But having had to endure several years of assorted trauma, I've been finding it very difficult to predict if / when I will have another. What annoys me most of all, is that so many people seem to jump to the conclusion that a person having a panic attack is suicidal!
@mr.blazeblue Here in recent days, I've made a vow to go farther from home each day. I go a little farther then I did the previous day and get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Eventually my brain will stop sending the signals when it realizes I'm not in danger. Anxiety and stress are chemical imbalances in your brain.
This panic attack lasted from 3:30 AM - 1:40 PM. Worst of my life. Your video completely changed my life. I was able to let go and surrender and within 10-15 minutes I suddenly realized I wasn’t shaking and feeling ill anymore. Thank you. I will continue using the Roll With It method!!
Pray for me! I have a lot going on life Ofc like anyone else and whenever I know I’ve done something wrong or maybe wrong in my standards I get these. I don’t like the rapid breathing and heart beats so pray for me! It’s been 1 hour and mine may last that long too! Ugh I hate this
@@connieammerman8302 not Rhonda but yes actually. Being kind to it, like it's an overprotective dog that barks at the mailman even though he's not a robber, helps tremendously
I had panic attacks out of the blue for months. They were horrible ; extreme fear, dizziness, nausea, not wanting people around yet not being left alone. Decided to go through a battery of medical test to rule out heart problems, etc. Finally was diagnosed with a chemical imbalance. With some patience of medication side effects, the doctors found the correct regimen for me. Since then I function like I did before the attacks began. My only problem is when I try to alter my meds. I still do the techniques I learned in case I feel one coming, but luckily with the proper medication they are much fewer. They don’t alter my life. I’m in control.
for anyone who needs validation that they will be okay - i once had a panic attack that lasted for 24hours, and then had background anxiety (racing heart) for 2 weeks after that, and I DID get better and I WAS okay. You will be okay. I got that as as clear words in my head, I believe from God as well when I was feeling at my worst. I love you, and God loves you. ❤️ Listen to the words she’s saying in this video, they are true.
Another thing is when you have really long panic attacks that spiral onto long day/week anxiety make sure you eat. I know it's going to feel like anything you try to eat wants to exit your mouth or makes you're tummy upset, but do it otherwise it'll lead to you dropping so much weight and lead to a malnourishment problems where you slowly have to reintroduce foods. My biggest suggestion on days you feel like you can't because of anxiety/panic attacks is to slowly do it within close hours instead of 3 large meals and maybe try eating standing up instead of down if it feels uncomfortable eating while sitting. I speak of this from experience. Also ensures are really good to drink on those days (just one)
no we are not. THIS IS NOT SOME LGBT BULLSHIT WHERE WE'RE ALL THE SAME. True anxiety, depression and panic need succint treatment beyond momentary methods. i hate that. "oh u struggle ME TOO LET ME TELL U EXACTLY HOW ALIKE WE ARE. Mistake coming here. just angry now
I was just with my mom at the mall I was completely fine then I came home I swear while being on my laptop I suddenly couldn’t breathe and my heart started beating real fast and I felt like I was going to faint , this is the second time this has happened to me :(🫠
I was having a panic attack yesterday and in the middle of it I started falling asleep. My husband walked me over to the couch where I crashed for a couple of hours and woke up feeling fine.
I have panic attacks daily. Usually at night when it’s bedtime. To the point that if I allow myself to fall asleep, I’m so hyper-vigilant that my body notices I’m falling asleep and I wake up with a scare and feel like I can’t breathe. Most nights I have night terrors or sleep paralysis even when I do manage to sleep. Your voice is the only thing that ever makes me feel actually safe. Every time I’ve had a panic attack since I found your channel, as soon as I hear you tell me im safe and I’m going to be okay, i immediately start to feel better. I’ve been trying the techniques you’re describing and it doesn’t work yet. But I have no people for support or to even talk to. I have no friends and don’t talk to much of my family. I’m a trauma survivor and a domestic abuse survivor, I’m all alone most of the time. You are so incredibly soothing and helpful when you explain things. I literally feel so validated when I watch your videos that it sometimes makes me cry because I don’t get that anywhere else. So thank you so much.
I have the panick attacks at night too and feel exactly the way you feel. It’s the worse feeling ever. I’m looking into therapy right now because I can no longer sleep this way and live this way. Hope you feel better soon as well.
Same! I also don't have anyone to talk to and also a domestic abused kid but i'm in my late 20s now, you are not alone on this there are thousands of people with this condition feeling the same way
Wow… just wow. It’s 5 in the morning and I’ve been up since 3 and debating on going to ER. After watching the vid my body has actually started to calm down. I find pacing back and forth also helps.
Dude just to see other people having the same experiences helps me so much lol. Like I'll get afraid to go to sleep then spiral into panic attacks lol.
I have a Pacemaker fitted to combat AF and am Panicking about giving Speech at my daughters wedding but am going to carry on with using your walkthrough advice wish me luck come on Pannick do your worse
I’ve recently just started having panic attacks and they’ve been pretty sever. One of the main symptoms I get is derealization/depersonalization and that’s what scares me the most. It has rlly helped me to see that I am not alone in this and I hope that in the future I can grow from this and help others who are struggling just like me.
It's your body In distress so a defensive mechanism kicks in depersonalization by detaching you from reality .. it is a very scary symptom I get it a lot mainly because it's like I can remember the sensation it's like my memory of it makes it come back again
Hey, me too. Please please remember. It is such a small part of your long long life. You will be better. It id always just a tough period, so your happier on the other side.
I had tingling in my throat it almost felt like it was closing and that I couldn’t breathe.. had kinda tightness in my chest and the shakes. Never felt this before was super scared. Everything is gonna be alright guys ❤️
@@joanna0988 its hard,no one said it will be easy but that is what makes us stronger! Feeling the pain builds who we are,Our fears is what makes us stronger to fight and live a equal life.But we can all do this.Yes you might feel like you are the only one fighting this battle but so many other people are like myself,But we can do this we are safe and strong!
@@joanna0988I thought I was the only one thinking it is an allergic reaction but I know it's not but I can't stop thinking what if it is? In all I have searched or heard everyone just say it's pain as an heart attack but I don't feel that I just feel the throat closing and tingling and dizziness. Thank you so much for let it me know that I'm not crazy 😢
I had a 1 month long panic attack which I thought were breathing issues & went to several doctors before one told me to visit a psychiatrist. I almost lost my new job (which I love) because I had to take so much time off. Protect your peace & mental health at all costs & cut off anybody who triggers your anxiety and your peace. Sending love, light & healing ❤
this is me, any issues with my respiratory system and i have panic attacks, had my worst one yet last night, now a new symptom is that i need to burp or my body wants to shut down, this is getting soo difficulty, but i know im stronger
Last week this video helped me not have a full blown panic attack. I was able to stop at very anxious and pass through it pretty quickly. I am forever grateful for all the content on this channel!
@@DrGearHeadSS good point! It was actually the one she posted a month ago on anxiety attack. When this one popped up on my feed, I thought it was the same one :) Here's the link to the other one. ruclips.net/video/WGG7MGgptxE/видео.html
You’ve been the most helpful during my night panics. I have health anxiety and nights have been horrible. One little symptom while I’m sleeping I wake up feeling dizzy, off balance, hot, panicky and the need to use the bathroom.. it’s terrible. I’m trying to challenge these panic attacks but boy it’s rough. But once again thank you for all your help and much needed guidance🙏🏼❤️🩹
@@OneDayChange hey there. Sorry to hear you’re going through this too. Mine started over 10 yrs ago. I had a horrible vertigo experience and since then it just got worse. Anything health related I panic. My mind goes haywire! I’m actually not working right now which is best for me. Thankful to have the means to stay home but sometimes I think it’s not good. Mine is all health related. I can’t imagine having anxiety over work. Hopefully you can find tools to help you get through it.
@@angel.heart007 hi I am also struggling from health anxiety fear of dying plus vertigo and tinnitus makes me feel more sick!!! And during panic attacks what's that weird feeling feels in my head? Can anyone relate or it's just only me I am worried about that
@@ysoomsoomro5790 I’m sorry you’re going through this too. Please ,are sure you’re doctor helps you with the vertigo and tinnitus. Those alone will make you feel ill on top of health anxiety. There’s so many symptoms that we feel. What are you feeling in your head?
Four years ago I had first nocturnal panic attack. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like dying: feeling faint, extreme nausea, heart racing like crazy, chills and shaking, urgent urinating and diarrhea, cold sweat, blurred vision, tinnitus... On the way to the ER I thought I was passing out and dying, I didn't know what panic attack is. That happened following couple of nights. Then I started therapy because I coudln't function. My psychotherapist told me exactly these things. And it worked perfectly, especially the sentence: Come panic, hit the strongest you can! I'm waiting!
Yes, for seven years. Know that it is a period of life and it will pass quickly. It is not dangerous and does not lead to death. It is just a feeling of danger. Charge yourself with positive words every morning and every evening. I am strong. I am beautiful....it will ease you. Know that you are not alone and that you are very strong. For bearing this feeling and knowing that there have been many panic attacks, but you are still alive. This is an experience and it will leave you very strong
@alexispayne4184 Mine is under control cause i reported it to a dr when i had first, second encounter. On medication for 6 months . No more panic attact. Search cognitive behavioral therapy it will help. Meds alone can't help. Thank you 🙏
This is probably the best video on panic attacks out there. Just today I was out walking my dog and started to feel anxious, my breathing got faster and thoughts became rapid too regarding I'm going to feel like I cannot escape, what if I get sick and I am not at home etc. Then I started to walk towards my home and my thoughts of panic intensified. I felt really crap like I am going to feel like I cannot escape. And then, my brave part said to me: You can do it, you can walk home calmly and it's going to be okay. In that moment, even more panic came over me. I realised to keep telling myself that it's okay is extremely unhelpful as I am totally gaslighting the part of me that feels terrible. So I said to myself: I really feel terrible right now and it sucks but I am going to make it home. And I stayed with the terrible panicky feeling and in a few seconds it dissolved. I tried this technique several time. It's very hard as leaning into the panic feels like the last thing you want to do but it's the only thing that has worked so far. And it makes sense as I got into this state because my little inner child never got the chance to feel authentic even if I was scared I had to be always strong as my parents would ridicule me or otherwise punish me for feeling vulnerable, fragile, sensitive, sad, upset or down so I have never felt safe with them. Now I have to create that tolerance for any uncomfortable feeling that emerges in me. I owe it to myself.
Wow you could have written my exact story with how I feel , I stopped walking because if I am away from any of my comfort zones i immediately panic hard - I feel like I’m going to lose my mind and die 🥺
@@LivvyMoonn how are you doing now? would you call it agoraphobia? i feel so anxious when i think of developing it because my anxiety has been getting so much worse the passed few years when im out. i had a really bad attack on the train and all i wanted was to be home, starting crying on the train was so scared.
@@kymarip9978a couple of months ago i had some very bad panic attacks while commuting. Now i cant commute at all and its been very hard to leave ny house without feeling panicky
3 months that I'm dealing with every single day panic attack , it was so bad for first month but I just let it to do what ever it wants to do . I'm much better now as it only take 1 minutes and I feel much better . Guys you not alone. I know you are having a bad time but it will pass like anything else . I wish you guys all OK and this hard time is over ❤️❤️
This was the method we used with my therapist. Due to financial issues, I had to end the sessions and deal with my panic attacks on my own. It had been a while, a couple of years until a week ago. I have some medical problems now and they terrify me actually. I wake up with panic attacks, and this video was everything I needed. This method works 100% and having someone talks you through it is amazing. I believe that everyone who watch this video and internalize this method will overcome panic attacks. We have access to this video for free and anytime we want. Thank you!
My issue is that I am fully aware it's anxiety, even in those kind of attacks. I don't always have the power to stop my symptoms, but it's not even the symptoms I worry about specifically. I worry about having these kind of attacks and racing thoughts for the rest of my life, and then my symptoms get a little worse. I'm getting better at controlling my symptoms, but not my mind. :(
Just learned that anxiety attacks are not the same as panic attacks. So if you want to get diagnosed and treated properly, it may be a panic disorder rather than an anxiety issue.
Thank you so much for your videos, Emma. I have been struggling with nocturnal panic attacks for the last couple months. After my first panic attack, I thought I was having a heart attack, and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. I have had several nights where I've slept only one or two hours, and I it made me extremely frustrated as you can imagine. My doctor helped me by diagnosing the panic attack symptoms, but I was still struggling with sleep a lot. After watching this video (and your video on sleep anxiety), I have gone from feeling helpless and hopeless to feeling confident and empowered. When I do have a flare up, I have been practicing your "be curious" technique, and I am no longer panicking by attempting to fight off the sensations of anxiety. Now I am calling them "mini attacks" because they usually pass quickly, and I even feel peaceful immediately after the symptoms fade away. I just had another night of good sleep, and I have you to thank for it. Even when my sleep does get interrupted with an elevated heart rate or anxiety, I am able to get back to sleep quickly thanks to your techniques. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Been going through waves of panic attacks can feel it coming as I sit at home , I'm retired 71 & this is my 1st time feeling so helpless & afraid havnt slept for nights properly but coming across these channels help & is a comfort. Starting to feel like lm coming to terms with it gradually & reading all your comments is a comfort .
i’m crying watching this and reading comments. i hope everyone is doing well but it’s also nice to know that i’m not alone at this. had ready bad pa this night, from 1am to 9am, couldn’t fall asleep and it was horrible. i usually have some nausea and jiggly legs but today it was also cardiopalmus. i was managed to fall asleep finally but decided to look for some pa advice videos and i will definitely try (hopefully not soon) anything you’ve said there. please anyone who’s reading this and struggling with anxiety or pa - know that you’re not alone and i’m rooting for you🖤
I have medically diagnosed severe depression and anxiety and this helped me more than any therapy or meds. I play this on loop anytime I have one of those moments. It even helps me sleep too! 😅 Tysm for putting these videos out there. Was having one and it went away on my second play through of the video!
I worked for many years in healthcare, in both a general hospital with a locked psychiatric unit and an emergency department and in a state psychiatric facility. I was frequently called to respond to patients who were in elevated emotional states like this. My go-to methods for interrupting panic were two: - Give them a cup of cold water with a straw; or - Get them talking about something that they felt good about. As best I can tell, both approaches require that the person regulate their breathing without focusing on regulating their breathing. The first one worked more quickly than the second, and the second one (when I could get them talking) seemed to establish a more lasting change. I wish I'd realized that before, because I probably would have combined them.
I started having a panic attack yesterday while i was in the bus for a 5 hour journey and the lady next to me started to talk to me, asking me about my life and what i like to do and she started to tell me jokes and funny stories and after an hour or so ,i realized what she had done, I'm forever grateful for that
Your "roll with it" technique is so helpful for me - I wish I'd seen it sooner. Fighting the attacks made them so much worse! I'm trying to identify when I'm in freeze mode - that's harder for me it sneaks up on me. But knowing I can use intentional movement to work my way out of freeze is so helpful! So knowing the horrible thoughts I have in freeze are lies and temporary helps so much. Love all your videos! Thank you!
I literally had a panic attack while taking a shower and it was really annoying, I literally had to fight the urge to scream and run out of my tub like a mad person. Instead I just sat down in the tub and used the water as a calming sensation which helped enough for me to finish what I needed and go to my room, I still felt dizzy and now I’m watching this video to help me relax and your voice was so soothing, I also liked how you said “these sensations won’t hurt you.” And that calmed me a lot more. I hope whoever finds this video have an amazing day and that they recover from this as well. ❤ it’s hard but I have no doubt that you can get through this. As Marcus Aurelius once said “Today I have escaped anxiety. Or no, I merely discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions-not outside.”
I have been struggling with severe panic attacks as of recently. Never experienced this before, but I’ve come to be really scared all the time. This video and comments helped me through a terrible one. If you guys have some tips please share them.
I didn’t have my first one until 25, I’m 28. You have to accept that you can’t win all of them, but when you lose a battle. Be kind to yourself. I’ve been mostly panic free for the last year, but the last two weeks I’ve been having them almost daily again, so I’m here with you. Know you’re not alone and that millions of others deal with it too. That alone helped me with some of the reclusiveness. Also, I strongly suggest you get out. Even if it’s for 5 minutes to go to a drive through and get a coffee. Don’t seclude yourself. I have a habit of that and it makes it a lot worse for me, so I have my girlfriend and friends keep me somewhat social. Even if I can only do it in a little spurt. You have to get to the point even when it’s mid panic attack you know you’re safe. I tell myself I’m not going to pass out even though it feels that way because I never have. I tell myself I’m loved by many. I also call my girlfriend, best friend or mother when it’s bad if I feel stuck at the “peak” of the episode. You’ve got this and I 100% believe in you and love you.
I was having a panic attack when this video popped up on my phone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the reminder of how to get through a panic attack. 🙏❤️
You should do more panic attack talk down videos! You have such a calming presence and reassuring words. Please do the next one in front of your well color coded books, my ocd loves it 😂
When panic is caused by covert abuse (meaning we do not realize that toxic people are causing our panic) then talk down is equal to crap fitting into abuse.
My panic attacks can last hours. It’s torture. I stop breathing properly for so long , when I do comedown I pass out for hours. I am hopeful and working on it.
I don’t normally comment on videos, but I can’t tell you how helpful this was during a stronger than normal panic attack I was having at work. My anxiety always elevates before my period, and I know that’s what I was experiencing, but I couldn’t get myself out of it until I watched this video. THANK YOU!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Had a panic attack in the middle of the night last night and your voice calmed me so much that I was able to fall asleep. You have such a calm, reassuring voice. Your kids must fall asleep 3 minutes into evening story time! Thank you!!
Oh my gosh! I can’t thank you enough !! I’ve listened to you twice while in the middle of a panic attack and both times you’ve walked me through it! Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏
Guys you are strong Im in the middle of a panic attack right mow breathing is funny but Im stronger than this!! There is million of us just like you feeling the same thing and we are the best people ever
Worst thing for me is the “what if” What if it is dangerous? What if I’m not safe? It’s so hard to tell myself it’s ok but I keep trying. This video does help, thank you.
Same here! I keep doing this what if loop in my head that I feel like I don’t even have control over! What if I’m actually going to die or what if this and that. It’s so absolutely terrifying 😢
Well I literally have what you described. Doctors wont give me benzos. I went downstairs to car then back, walked back and forth.. as speaker mentioned in the video. If doing something active helps, then its not serious.
I’ve just fallen out with my best friend on holiday, and booked the next flight home. I am beside myself and I have struggled with my anxiety for years, so I wanted some help as my mum isn’t here and this video really helped me. I rarely ever get any useful advice from RUclips but the way you used ‘safe’ as a key word is an eye opener for someone like me who often fears the worst when in panic mode. Being safe is everything. Thank you so much.
I never thought I’d actually die because of a panic attack. I can tell myself this will pass, but it took a medical doctor who diagnosed a chemical imbalance and who prescribed medication to get my life back. All the meditation, telling myself I’ll get through this, breathing techniques will help, but living with panic attacks daily is literally not living. The medications have been the key . The other techniques will help but if I have to take meds the rest of my life, like a diabetic who needs insulin, so be it.
I was in the acute phase of a panic attack, it's 6.30AM where I am and I have no one to call or talk to and no crisis lines available to call (they don't operate until 9AM). This video helped me so much to regain at least a little bit of control and reconnect with myself. I used to suffer from cronic panic attacks 10 years ago, so it's nothing new, but it had been a while since the last time I'd had to deal with them. Thank you for this video. And to whoever's reading, you're not alone
My ears are on fire, pain in my throat, feel like I’m about cry. I decided to go on vacation with my family. I’m terrified of water and hate being g so far away from home. We are at the ocean…. I really want to enjoy this trip for my husband and kids, but I’m feeling like I made a huge mistake! Everyone is having a great time while I sit trying to deep breath to calm down. I will try these techniques. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so so much for all you do. This video has single handedly saved me from a trip to the ER multiple times. I can actually imagine a life without the constant fear of a panic attack now. You're literally saving lives. Thank you
thank you so much for this video!! I have really bad nocturnal anxiety which causes nausea, racing heart, a faint sensation, and shaking. These symptoms then in turn make my anxiety worse, however this video nearly instantly made me realise and understand that what I was experiencing was a panic attack, not the onset of some deadly illness! I've also suffered from insomnia for many years because of this nocturnal anxiety, and while that's not magically gonna go away, I do feel a LOT better and more able to sleep than I normally would during/after a panic attack.
I have suffered from panic attacks on and off for as long as I can remember. 90% of them happen in the middle of the night. My heart will start to race, get scary heart palpitations, chest pains etc. I’ve had easily more than 1000 of these and every time I feel like I’m having a heart attack. It’s currently midnight and my wife and I are on vacation in the Caribbean. I’ve been anxious for the last 3 hours. Feels like I’m going to have a heart attack but I do deep down I’m fine.
As someone with Anxiety and ADHD this was so helpful. I just experienced a Panic Attack in my room and after taking my antianxiety medication I went outside into the driveway and crouched on the floor trying to regulate my breathing. This video and your voice is so soothing tbh. Thank you.🙏🏼
My biggest hurdle during a panic attack is the overwhelming nausea that accompanies it. I don’t fear I’m having a heart attack but the feeling of nausea is awful and that increases the fear. What should I do in those moments?
I've been through the same exact feeling and what helps me is drinking orange tea tree or any calming tea 🍵 and hopefully I can have a couple mins to sit and relax, while I practice some breathing exercises (4x6x8) works wonders for me ! Hope it helps 🤍 sending you love !
@seinfeldhik, Get some ginger tea bag, or some fresh ginger cut a piece off maybe chew on it a little. Also look up reflexology points on body you massage for nausea, to calm down, etc.
Thank you so much. I've come back to this over and over and over these past few months and sometimes it's the only thing that helps me. I feel like I'm dying every single time. Had a horrible panic attack in the middle of Costco today and found a display chair to sit on while listening to this, and then replayed it four times while I did the rest of my shopping. Feeling almost normal now. Thank you so much. I'm eternally grateful for this video.
These videos have become my go-to when having a severe panic attack. It took 3 months to taper of benzos and I don't want to go back. The panic attacks are severe at times along with other withdrawal symptoms. Your videos give me peace and strength to keep pushing. Thank you!
Have you ever taken medication for anxiety and panic and if so does it help? I ask lots of people and I always get mixed answers between yes and no. Meds feels like my only hope at this point when I finally have enough money to see a professional. I need some bit of hope
Your videos have helped me a lot... I had a panic attack this morning and felt like I was going to die. I then started to pray with my boyfriend. Meanwhile, I felt numb in my face, I was shaking, I was physically sick, etc. After a bit I started to feel better and wanted to do research on why I felt this way. Mind you, I haven't had a panic attack in a very long time, so having one this morning was unexpected. I started to feel off the day before, but I just thought it was due to hormones. Your videos have helped me a lot and I can't thank you enough! I am more than my emotions and I can get through anything with reason and with Gods help!
You cannot make enough videos like this. Last one you posted popped up exactly while I was in the middle of a day long freak out. Thanks for all you do!
The “fear, bring it on!” And saying you can handle this actually helped me so much when i was going through a rly bad time. Its like taunting it, it feels so much better.
Thank you! This video came out at the best time. I recently got sick but felt fine mentally, but the night I found out it was covid I woke up having a panic attack. Every night since then for the past two nights I've had a relapse in panic. As if going to sleep in my own bed was the most dangerous place my body can be in. I've been using your guides on anxiety attacks to calm myself down and get little bits of sleep. Last night I was finally able to sleep through the entire night, although I do still feel a little tingly today. I'm excited to try these techniques tonight if the panic comes back!
🤍 I'm rooting for you!!! What has helped me a lot for bedtime is drinking orange tea tree or any calming tea (no caffeine) and reading to help get my mind of those intrusive thoughts 💭
@@lindapena11111 This vid is great and I also find the ones on Panic / Anxiety / Inferiority Complex on the Uncommon Knowledge UK channel with Mark Tyrrell, very, very good too. This one may help my friend where his video didn't, frankly.
I totally relate, I had Covid last month and have asthma so my anxiety was out of control making me just have more asthma. I recommend an ice pack / bag of ice right in the middle of your chest on bare skin. It helps shock you out of it. Also Headspace : Unwind Your Mind on Netflix helps calming down (or their app but it costs money). But honestly exactly what Emma says about exploring your emotions and analyzing your thoughts helped me the most. Knowledge helped me get through a lot.
@@Amanda.Jayne. tapping on your chest also helps! Either are resetting your vagus nerve to being in the para sympathetic state instead of the sympathetic state(fight or flight)
Try not to anticipate whether you're going to have a panic attack or not because it's just a releases more adrenaline into your system which is what finally does cause panic attacks God blessings and I hope you get well!
Thank you so much for being compassionate and helping people who suffer from panic attacks. Not everyone understands because they have never experienced one. Your video has helped me tremendously.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
This video has really helped me, especially reading every one else's comments, it made me realise I am not alone, all your experiences I can totally relate to, It made me so emotional but just what I needed, to cry and released all that built up tension, I only wished I had found this earlier, I have struggled with this my whole life and always thought I was the only one and I must be crazy
Wow, I've never tried to not fight against all these millions of panic attacks until I did what you said. It works. My stomach isn't as sick, my breathing is much better, my mind is actually more present which never happens. Thank you so much.
Words cannot express how grateful I am that you made this video. I had the worst panic attack of my life this morning, and that's saying a lot with my anxiety disorder and all. I almost went to the hospital, it felt so awful. But I was able to calm down in a few minutes with this video. It was like a breath of fresh air. Definitely saving this for if I have another one. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Same almost every night right when i start to doze off boom i wake up in a panic now i fear night and that triggers it ive always been an over thinker and have had constant stress since a child but this last week i feel like all day everyday tingly numb and dizzy my heart pounding i just hope this passes soon
@@johnmerow5025 I had the exact same thing happen to me right about this time. I had horrible side effects to the panic medication I was out on but once they took me off of it, it disappeared. Haven’t had an attack since. This is not your life, you’ll get through it. :)
I had a bit of a scary moment while driving today - a panic attack came out of nowhere. I pulled over and quickly searched RUclips for some guidance. That's when I found your video and I cannot thank you enough! I was really frightened and honestly thought I was having a heart attack or might even faint, but your video helped me calm down and feel so much better. May God Bless you thank you.
I suffer from bpd and I was about to either destroy something or hurt myself and this talk helped me calm down. Thank you so much for this video and for your help. I hope yall feel better soon, much strength!
Oh god oh god. Thank you thank you. It’s been almost a year since I’ve first started getting these attacks. It’s such a battle. But this helped so much. Thank you. And for anyone else here, trust me, if you’re here, you’re fine! You’ll be fine. Literally just listen to this video.
Ive been dealing with chronic panic attacks every few months for the last couple of years. They often last 24 - 72 hours and i feel extremely nauseous, puking up everything in my stomach till nothing is left. The only ways out so far have been with prescription pills to knock me out, and hopefully reset me. I end up so depleted that we need to order an IV nurse to get my fluids back up and some anti nausea. This week I had on and off panic attacks for about 7 days until I saw your video after being up all night, trying to force myself to calm down. What you said about not being able to force yourself to calm down, and instead rolling with it, allowed me to actually break the cycle. I felt relieved and when i started reading the comments, i started crying because im so thankful you posted this and have help so many people like me truely suffering with this. Thank you so much.
I've listened to this clip so many times so thank you so much!! My night pannick attacks are the worst sometimes especially because of my fear of death. In my childhood I lost my grandmother. She had a brain tumor and after 1 year of struggling we lost her. I suffered so much back then and as an adult I frequently noticed how I am extra attentive to any of my symptoms. Especially...with my headaches that are kind of frequent. I plan on going to the neurologist this year so I really hope I am ok. Sometimes when i try to sleep and maybe my head hurts a little I immediately start thinking that I have a serious problem and that I might die here and now. but "I can handle this, this will pass" .. Hope that anyone who is struggling with anxiety, depression or any mental illness remembers they are strong. Have patience with youself
I was skeptical of challenging my panic attack because my brain can be very mean with intrusive thoughts, but it really really helped in the long run. Thank you.
I just moved out of my parent’s house and I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. Your soothing voice and reassuring affirmations really help. Thank you ❤
Thank you so so much for this video!! I had never had panic attacks in my life until just recently! It all started during a rough pregnancy where I legitimately did about pass out at times! I finally decided this is what was happening to me. After visiting with my doctor, he agreed. So I sat down to look for some tools and techniques while in my rational mind to help when these hit. You described EXACTLY what happens to me and how I feel! It’s all life and light to me! God bless you for your work!
I’m terrified of the physical symptoms of panic and suffer from severe anxiety. My panic attacks are bad and I feel I losing control. I fear the next one and do not go out on my own now. I’m trying to lean into the feelings. And say these things to myself but not winning as yet. Thank you Emma, your videos are so informative and I will keep trying to conquer my panic. ( UK listener )
Hope your doing better and will get better trust me I know what this is like that you are going through it can feel very crippling like you don’t wanna leave your house or even your room for that matter cause I am at that point myself I feel anything I do at this point can trigger anxiety and that fear of panicking or losing my mind or anything that comes with it amplifies my fears. It’s important to note you are not alone in this struggle and I often say we “damaged” people need to stick together to help eachother get through. Give eachother advice and pointers on our journey to recovery. We can beat it. Just need to hang in there
Yes and the Pain is no one understand this at that time They Say to me "Stop Doing Your Drama" they use the term "Drama" seriously as it's like its killed me... Just
I've been waking up every night with a sensation that I can't get a full breath, it's been driving me crazy... I even went to the E.R. three times in the past couple weeks. I like your advice on challenging the fear...like "Bring It On!!!"... thanks for this awesome video, it really helps
I cannot thank you enough for these videos and techniques. It’s been a week of shaking, dizzy, faint, sick and everything else. These helped relaxed me and I yawned like 4 times. I’ve slept 13 hours in 6 days so this helped
I searched for something to help me get through a panic attack as it was getting worse and your video helped me a lot, I'm struggling with them for almost almost 3 years now and learning and finally talking about them helped me not to have them a lot less than before, so when I start to have them again, like now, I'll watch more of your videos to help me get through them. I'm also happy to see that I'm not the only one struggling, as many of the people in the comments are telling their experiences
last year I had my first panic attack experience but I thought it was heart attack. Started to feel suffocating, heart beating fast as hell, tried to calm down only turned into hyperventilation, dizziness and lose of control. I lost consciousness for a monment. Later that month I went to hospital for heart issue but find out nothing wrong. Only this year, I read some info about panic attack, finally I feel I find my cause. Thanks
omg. this was fantastic. i haven’t had a panic attack this bad in years!! 6 minutes into the video and i feel myself finally calming down. thank you so much
Does anyone get daily panic attacks just by thinking about panic attacks? Like ur scared everyday that u going to have a panic attack so it throws up into one of
Thsts my main issue. I don’t have fears of certain things really. Just fear of having a panic gives me a panic attack. Usually it’s in situations where I know I can’t get out of right away if I do have one
@@KenGuy517 …that’s it exactly. I have social phobia and agoraphobia, and if someone visits me I’m scared I’ll have a panic attack in front of them, and so that makes me not want to be in their presence, I have to keep leaving the room! I feel like an idiot.
"Feel the Fear and do it anyway" such a great book and audio that I would listen to when my father was battling cancer. Ty for your videos, I am only recently experiencing major panic attacks because I am trying to be supportive of a loved one that is not well, I am learning how difficult it is to navigate the medical and social services institutions and the way the system seems to be set up for those who need help to give up and go away, unless you can afford legal representation. Thank you for your calm voice and wise words, I can get through this for my loved one and for myself, panic and worry will not get the best of me, I have a purpose and I can do this today. 🌻✌️💖
that "let's have the biggest panic attack" solved my problem with panic. I've seen psychiatrists and took medicine(alprazolam, escitalopram etc) during the early days of my panic problems i was so afraid of panic attacks, that i would start to have one.. then one day when i was lying on my bed, i felt the start of a full blown panic attack(because of overthinking of unrealistic things), out of nowhere i suddenly said "ohhh shit i would love to have this, let's go, give me that scariest panic attack", then it disappeared.:D.. Just dont be afraid of that, just embrace it. im still a nervous type but the "panic with no actual reasons" thing already went away or maybe it is still there, but i learned to trick my brain
I don’t really understand how saying” I would love this, let’s go” helps stop the scary thoughts? Mine usually start because I hear about someone that has got cancer or a disease or illness then I start getting scared thinking I’ll get it blah blah blah. I think it comes from watching my mother suffer for nine years and the horrible way she died and my daughter dying in 2005. The weird part is I know I’m going to a much better place when I die wheres there’s no pain and suffering and cruelty and such it’s the process that scares the crap out of me.
❤ Emma for the win! Thank you for sharing this amazing skill set!! I have been have experienced anxiety and panic attacks since a child. They seem to be getting worse more often for me and now. I have been using techniques and skills from therapy. But sometimes I just need a good episode like this with Emma.
I needed this!❤ I have gerd and IBS and have had my heart checked at least 50 times. I woke up this morning with cramping and achiness In my chest. I’ve had this feeling hundreds of times with my gerd & IBS flared yet every single time the nagging thought of “it could be a heart attack this time!” And I start panicking🙈
I can relate to The GERD. I also have IC. It’s a vicious cycle, if the GERD or IC gets flared up it starts a panic attack which then makes the pain of those two worse and lasts for like a week. Or if I get a panic attack I’m paranoid “oh no, I have to hurry and get this under control so it doesn’t glare the GERD or bladder pain. Is so hard for me to calm down.
Omg exactly the same here. To add to that... My dad had a heart attack like 5 years ago. What have you done to improve the anxiety? I'm white knuckling this thing... And it sucks.
same here, every single time I rushed to ER and had a EKG everything was fine with my heart, it's so relieved yet annoying at the same time currently trying to schedule with an endocrinologist to check if my random anxiety attacks are some kind of hormonal overdrive
I'm the exact same. I get chest pains from my GERD them start to feel nausea in my stomach and immediately think I'm dying even though I've had a full clear health check lol My heart is pounding uncontrollably as I type this!
Well I showed up to my pcp because of all of this and was on the midst of an anxiety attack... And they gave me Lexapro to short term recover from this issue... And I won't lie... It's really helping.
This is the only video I have found to date that will calm me down and there are ALOT out there on RUclips… but this one is different and I come back to this every single time. Would love if your channel offered a story time with your voice, I’m thinking it’s your voice that’s soothing so it sucks when no one else speaks like you
To anyone who searched this, I love you and hope you’re okay right now :) ❤
Thank you💕
@@youthought7206 anytime
Thank you so much
❤❤❤
Thank you I appreciate that so much! Have a great day!
Who else is shaking right now and feeling like crying because you feel so exhausted?
Me and iam home alone and have no one to call
@charolettschneider6023 hey I know how that feels. I just found out 3 out of 4 ppl in the US are lonely. So that made me feel better because I wasn't alone. I have alot of anxiety when I first wake up. It feels horrible and I pray and breathe. I'm not religious but praying to a higher power helps some. I'm getting off benzos so my anxiety is really difficult. I hope you're OK. I go to the hospital sometime if it gets bad.
dies anyone feel like they may vomit?
Mate I feel the same I am a six foot 7 well built man nobody would expect it but yes I do panic I have a sense of impending doom you couldn’t even imagine, you’re not alone and believe me we can get through this.
@@renatocihor9300yeah it’s a part of all the stuff that can happen, that is just one of many symptoms I get that one too
I’ve been in a panic attack for 5 days straight now. I went to the ER and they told me it was just anxiety. I have the shakes, racing heart, and struggle breathing. I’ve been convincing myself that I’m dying and something is wrong with me. Even tho the doctors said I’m perfectly healthy. But I am so happy to see the comments and know that I am not alone ❤
Hey update‼️‼️. I have been doing much better. It was really rough for 5 months straight. The anxiety turned into severe paranoia and I thought the air and food was poisoned. But now the last couple weeks I have started to finally feel normal again. Thank you all for the loving comments and suggestions. It means the world to me
A blood test to check your iron, b12 levels might be good.
You’re not alone..
I can relate 100%, are you better ?
Sending you so much and wishing you healing
You are not aloneA
i know i am not dying but panic attacks are uncomfortable and the mind will not stop. its the desire for peace is so strong. you know what it is but the body does what it wants.
Oh boy do I hear you. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Why do people think that we think we’re dying?
get mad at it. get mad at it every time. tell it to bring it on.
That's exactly what I'm going through. I prepare my mind to be ready for it to push past it, have enough courage summoned but before I know it, my body activates a flight response and I turn tail and go back home.
@@TyVince-p6r Very well put! (Preparing your mind to push past it and having the needed courage, but before you
know it...) Well, that's what I felt at 3:00 this afternoon. But having had to endure several years of assorted trauma,
I've been finding it very difficult to predict if / when I will have another. What annoys me most of all, is that so many
people seem to jump to the conclusion that a person having a panic attack is suicidal!
@mr.blazeblue Here in recent days, I've made a vow to go farther from home each day. I go a little farther then I did the previous day and get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Eventually my brain will stop sending the signals when it realizes I'm not in danger. Anxiety and stress are chemical imbalances in your brain.
This panic attack lasted from 3:30 AM - 1:40 PM. Worst of my life. Your video completely changed my life. I was able to let go and surrender and within 10-15 minutes I suddenly realized I wasn’t shaking and feeling ill anymore. Thank you. I will continue using the Roll With It method!!
I'm about to go through it soon 😢 but after listening to her I've got courage
Pray for me! I have a lot going on life Ofc like anyone else and whenever I know I’ve done something wrong or maybe wrong in my standards I get these. I don’t like the rapid breathing and heart beats so pray for me! It’s been 1 hour and mine may last that long too! Ugh I hate this
How did you feel after 1:40? I’m curious
Mine is still ongoing
It's been there since 2pm and it's 6pm
Mine is also still on going
It started yesterday at 12 am and it's 12 pm next day but I'm feeling slightly better
“It’s uncomfortable, but not dangerous…”
If i can have panic attacks for 10 years then I am strong enough to feel my feelings!!! Let’s go!
I kind of made friends with my panic attack saw it as a little child, picked it up and said I love you and sat with it. Very slowly they diminished.
@@rhondapelletier2141 so you don’t have them anymore since you’ve “sat with them”?
YES!!!! I love this! I am starting to do this!
@@connieammerman8302 not Rhonda but yes actually. Being kind to it, like it's an overprotective dog that barks at the mailman even though he's not a robber, helps tremendously
I had panic attacks out of the blue for months. They were horrible ; extreme fear, dizziness, nausea, not wanting people around yet not being left alone. Decided to go through a battery of medical test to rule out heart problems, etc. Finally was diagnosed with a chemical imbalance. With some patience of medication side effects, the doctors found the correct regimen for me. Since then I function like I did before the attacks began. My only problem is when I try to alter my meds. I still do the techniques I learned in case I feel one coming, but luckily with the proper medication they are much fewer. They don’t alter my life. I’m in control.
for anyone who needs validation that they will be okay - i once had a panic attack that lasted for 24hours, and then had background anxiety (racing heart) for 2 weeks after that, and I DID get better and I WAS okay. You will be okay. I got that as as clear words in my head, I believe from God as well when I was feeling at my worst. I love you, and God loves you. ❤️ Listen to the words she’s saying in this video, they are true.
thankyou really needed to hear that❤
Another thing is when you have really long panic attacks that spiral onto long day/week anxiety make sure you eat. I know it's going to feel like anything you try to eat wants to exit your mouth or makes you're tummy upset, but do it otherwise it'll lead to you dropping so much weight and lead to a malnourishment problems where you slowly have to reintroduce foods. My biggest suggestion on days you feel like you can't because of anxiety/panic attacks is to slowly do it within close hours instead of 3 large meals and maybe try eating standing up instead of down if it feels uncomfortable eating while sitting. I speak of this from experience. Also ensures are really good to drink on those days (just one)
Grateful for all the comments. I find soothing the fact that we are all in this together. Thank you 🙏
no we are not. THIS IS NOT SOME LGBT BULLSHIT WHERE WE'RE ALL THE SAME. True anxiety, depression and panic need succint treatment beyond momentary methods. i hate that. "oh u struggle ME TOO LET ME TELL U EXACTLY HOW ALIKE WE ARE. Mistake coming here. just angry now
Same ❤
Read my mind. I’ve been watching this series for months now, but haven’t looked at the comments much. It really is soothing
@@seangiuliani3825weird man
Same. Thanks for your comment and wishing you the best ❤
Who's being sleepy while having a panic attack and scared at the same time that you might fall asleep then you might not wake up?
Meeeeee
I know those exact feelings
I was just with my mom at the mall I was completely fine then I came home I swear while being on my laptop I suddenly couldn’t breathe and my heart started beating real fast and I felt like I was going to faint , this is the second time this has happened to me :(🫠
I was having a panic attack yesterday and in the middle of it I started falling asleep. My husband walked me over to the couch where I crashed for a couple of hours and woke up feeling fine.
Me i dont know what to do
I have panic attacks daily. Usually at night when it’s bedtime. To the point that if I allow myself to fall asleep, I’m so hyper-vigilant that my body notices I’m falling asleep and I wake up with a scare and feel like I can’t breathe. Most nights I have night terrors or sleep paralysis even when I do manage to sleep. Your voice is the only thing that ever makes me feel actually safe. Every time I’ve had a panic attack since I found your channel, as soon as I hear you tell me im safe and I’m going to be okay, i immediately start to feel better. I’ve been trying the techniques you’re describing and it doesn’t work yet. But I have no people for support or to even talk to. I have no friends and don’t talk to much of my family. I’m a trauma survivor and a domestic abuse survivor, I’m all alone most of the time. You are so incredibly soothing and helpful when you explain things. I literally feel so validated when I watch your videos that it sometimes makes me cry because I don’t get that anywhere else. So thank you so much.
I have the panick attacks at night too and feel exactly the way you feel. It’s the worse feeling ever. I’m looking into therapy right now because I can no longer sleep this way and live this way. Hope you feel better soon as well.
Me too. All of it. Same.
Hi. How are you doing. Hopefully things are a little better
Same! I also don't have anyone to talk to and also a domestic abused kid but i'm in my late 20s now, you are not alone on this there are thousands of people with this condition feeling the same way
This is the same thing I experienced ❤
Wow… just wow. It’s 5 in the morning and I’ve been up since 3 and debating on going to ER. After watching the vid my body has actually started to calm down. I find pacing back and forth also helps.
I really really hope you’ve been doing okay since then! Thank you for your vulnerability and openness!
Dude just to see other people having the same experiences helps me so much lol. Like I'll get afraid to go to sleep then spiral into panic attacks lol.
Same for me!
I have a Pacemaker fitted to combat AF and am Panicking about giving Speech at my daughters wedding but am going to carry on with using your walkthrough advice wish me luck come on Pannick do your worse
@@JruJewJitsumuch love man we’re in this together and will get better one day at a time
I’ve recently just started having panic attacks and they’ve been pretty sever. One of the main symptoms I get is derealization/depersonalization and that’s what scares me the most. It has rlly helped me to see that I am not alone in this and I hope that in the future I can grow from this and help others who are struggling just like me.
Mate just one thing this shit cant do nothing to us they just our body playing
Never had this before until a couple weeks ago (from an edible i think) people have gone through this lets hope it passes with time
I do that too and it scares me to death....what the hell is it?
It's your body In distress so a defensive mechanism kicks in depersonalization by detaching you from reality .. it is a very scary symptom I get it a lot mainly because it's like I can remember the sensation it's like my memory of it makes it come back again
Hey, me too. Please please remember. It is such a small part of your long long life. You will be better. It id always just a tough period, so your happier on the other side.
I had tingling in my throat it almost felt like it was closing and that I couldn’t breathe.. had kinda tightness in my chest and the shakes. Never felt this before was super scared. Everything is gonna be alright guys ❤️
I feel the same way
@@bidangmabuhay me too but we will all be okay and safe
I get that too and I'm already terrified of allergic reactions so it's hard to calm down and dismiss the distressing symptoms.

@@joanna0988I thought I was the only one thinking it is an allergic reaction but I know it's not but I can't stop thinking what if it is? In all I have searched or heard everyone just say it's pain as an heart attack but I don't feel that I just feel the throat closing and tingling and dizziness. Thank you so much for let it me know that I'm not crazy 😢
I had a 1 month long panic attack which I thought were breathing issues & went to several doctors before one told me to visit a psychiatrist. I almost lost my new job (which I love) because I had to take so much time off. Protect your peace & mental health at all costs & cut off anybody who triggers your anxiety and your peace. Sending love, light & healing ❤

@@OneDayChange hey there. Sorry to hear you’re going through this too. Mine started over 10 yrs ago. I had a horrible vertigo experience and since then it just got worse.

Thank you soooooo very much. Also praying for all of those who suffer anxiety attacks. I love you all
"These sensations arent dangerous" I really needed to hear that and it's my new mantra when I start panicking. This is incredible thank you so much
I come to this video every time I'm having a panic attack. It's so hard to keep battling this.
Four years ago I had first nocturnal panic attack. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like dying: feeling faint, extreme nausea, heart racing like crazy, chills and shaking, urgent urinating and diarrhea, cold sweat, blurred vision, tinnitus... On the way to the ER I thought I was passing out and dying, I didn't know what panic attack is. That happened following couple of nights. Then I started therapy because I coudln't function. My psychotherapist told me exactly these things. And it worked perfectly, especially the sentence: Come panic, hit the strongest you can! I'm waiting!
are you sure you dont have sleep apnea?
@@cannabros I don't have anything anymore. It was 4 years ago, nocturnal panic attacks, classic example.

I’m actually crying at the fact that so many us deal with this. Has anyone has a panic attack feel like it has lasted days??
Yes
Yes, for seven years. Know that it is a period of life and it will pass quickly. It is not dangerous and does not lead to death. It is just a feeling of danger. Charge yourself with positive words every morning and every evening. I am strong. I am beautiful....it will ease you. Know that you are not alone and that you are very strong. For bearing this feeling and knowing that there have been many panic attacks, but you are still alive. This is an experience and it will leave you very strong
Currently there, searching for a way out as I panic trying to sleep when I have a double to work in 4 hours
@alexispayne4184 Mine is under control cause i reported it to a dr when i had first, second encounter. On medication for 6 months . No more panic attact. Search cognitive behavioral therapy it will help. Meds alone can't help. Thank you 🙏
Yes and it’s terrible
This is probably the best video on panic attacks out there. Just today I was out walking my dog and started to feel anxious, my breathing got faster and thoughts became rapid too regarding I'm going to feel like I cannot escape, what if I get sick and I am not at home etc. Then I started to walk towards my home and my thoughts of panic intensified. I felt really crap like I am going to feel like I cannot escape. And then, my brave part said to me: You can do it, you can walk home calmly and it's going to be okay. In that moment, even more panic came over me. I realised to keep telling myself that it's okay is extremely unhelpful as I am totally gaslighting the part of me that feels terrible. So I said to myself: I really feel terrible right now and it sucks but I am going to make it home. And I stayed with the terrible panicky feeling and in a few seconds it dissolved. I tried this technique several time. It's very hard as leaning into the panic feels like the last thing you want to do but it's the only thing that has worked so far. And it makes sense as I got into this state because my little inner child never got the chance to feel authentic even if I was scared I had to be always strong as my parents would ridicule me or otherwise punish me for feeling vulnerable, fragile, sensitive, sad, upset or down so I have never felt safe with them. Now I have to create that tolerance for any uncomfortable feeling that emerges in me. I owe it to myself.
Wow you could have written my exact story with how I feel , I stopped walking because if I am away from any of my comfort zones i immediately panic hard - I feel like I’m going to lose my mind and die 🥺
@@LivvyMoonn how are you doing now? would you call it agoraphobia? i feel so anxious when i think of developing it because my anxiety has been getting so much worse the passed few years when im out. i had a really bad attack on the train and all i wanted was to be home, starting crying on the train was so scared.

3 months that I'm dealing with every single day panic attack , it was so bad for first month but I just let it to do what ever it wants to do . I'm much better now as it only take 1 minutes and I feel much better . Guys you not alone. I know you are having a bad time but it will pass like anything else . I wish you guys all OK and this hard time is over ❤️❤️
Hai
I’m so relieved reading this. Gives me hope it does get better
You saved me from spiraling into a bad panic attack tonight. Thank you, sincerely
Update
This was the method we used with my therapist. Due to financial issues, I had to end the sessions and deal with my panic attacks on my own. It had been a while, a couple of years until a week ago. I have some medical problems now and they terrify me actually. I wake up with panic attacks, and this video was everything I needed. This method works 100% and having someone talks you through it is amazing. I believe that everyone who watch this video and internalize this method will overcome panic attacks. We have access to this video for free and anytime we want. Thank you!
My issue is that I am fully aware it's anxiety, even in those kind of attacks. I don't always have the power to stop my symptoms, but it's not even the symptoms I worry about specifically. I worry about having these kind of attacks and racing thoughts for the rest of my life, and then my symptoms get a little worse. I'm getting better at controlling my symptoms, but not my mind. :(
Same.
This is exactly me
Just learned that anxiety attacks are not the same as panic attacks. So if you want to get diagnosed and treated properly, it may be a panic disorder rather than an anxiety issue.
Same situation.
@@heeheeriah Wishing you the best of luck
Thank you so much for your videos, Emma. I have been struggling with nocturnal panic attacks for the last couple months. After my first panic attack, I thought I was having a heart attack, and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. I have had several nights where I've slept only one or two hours, and I it made me extremely frustrated as you can imagine. My doctor helped me by diagnosing the panic attack symptoms, but I was still struggling with sleep a lot. After watching this video (and your video on sleep anxiety), I have gone from feeling helpless and hopeless to feeling confident and empowered. When I do have a flare up, I have been practicing your "be curious" technique, and I am no longer panicking by attempting to fight off the sensations of anxiety. Now I am calling them "mini attacks" because they usually pass quickly, and I even feel peaceful immediately after the symptoms fade away. I just had another night of good sleep, and I have you to thank for it. Even when my sleep does get interrupted with an elevated heart rate or anxiety, I am able to get back to sleep quickly thanks to your techniques. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Been going through waves of panic attacks can feel it coming as I sit at home , I'm retired 71 & this is my 1st time feeling so helpless & afraid havnt slept for nights properly but coming across these channels help & is a comfort. Starting to feel like lm coming to terms with it gradually & reading all your comments is a comfort .
You spoke exactly how i feel...i think my anxiety comes when we afraid of something or too much running out late going somewhere..
i’m crying watching this and reading comments. i hope everyone is doing well but it’s also nice to know that i’m not alone at this. had ready bad pa this night, from 1am to 9am, couldn’t fall asleep and it was horrible. i usually have some nausea and jiggly legs but today it was also cardiopalmus. i was managed to fall asleep finally but decided to look for some pa advice videos and i will definitely try (hopefully not soon) anything you’ve said there.
please anyone who’s reading this and struggling with anxiety or pa - know that you’re not alone and i’m rooting for you🖤
I have medically diagnosed severe depression and anxiety and this helped me more than any therapy or meds. I play this on loop anytime I have one of those moments. It even helps me sleep too! 😅 Tysm for putting these videos out there. Was having one and it went away on my second play through of the video!
Does it go away even if the problem still exist
I worked for many years in healthcare, in both a general hospital with a locked psychiatric unit and an emergency department and in a state psychiatric facility. I was frequently called to respond to patients who were in elevated emotional states like this. My go-to methods for interrupting panic were two:
- Give them a cup of cold water with a straw; or
- Get them talking about something that they felt good about.
As best I can tell, both approaches require that the person regulate their breathing without focusing on regulating their breathing.
The first one worked more quickly than the second, and the second one (when I could get them talking) seemed to establish a more lasting change. I wish I'd realized that before, because I probably would have combined them.
Please add more techniques in your further videos. You are so assuring and I love your approach. But sometimes deep breathing just doesn’t do it.
Those are some excellent suggestions, thank you for sharing your experience with helping people through these!❤
I started having a panic attack yesterday while i was in the bus for a 5 hour journey and the lady next to me started to talk to me, asking me about my life and what i like to do and she started to tell me jokes and funny stories and after an hour or so ,i realized what she had done, I'm forever grateful for that
@@patiencenkala6863 Now you know what to do. Not just for your own benefit, but for that of others you may come across. :)
Your "roll with it" technique is so helpful for me - I wish I'd seen it sooner. Fighting the attacks made them so much worse! I'm trying to identify when I'm in freeze mode - that's harder for me it sneaks up on me. But knowing I can use intentional movement to work my way out of freeze is so helpful! So knowing the horrible thoughts I have in freeze are lies and temporary helps so much. Love all your videos! Thank you!
I literally had a panic attack while taking a shower and it was really annoying, I literally had to fight the urge to scream and run out of my tub like a mad person. Instead I just sat down in the tub and used the water as a calming sensation which helped enough for me to finish what I needed and go to my room, I still felt dizzy and now I’m watching this video to help me relax and your voice was so soothing, I also liked how you said “these sensations won’t hurt you.” And that calmed me a lot more.
I hope whoever finds this video have an amazing day and that they recover from this as well. ❤ it’s hard but I have no doubt that you can get through this. As Marcus Aurelius once said “Today I have escaped anxiety. Or no, I merely discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions-not outside.”
I have been struggling with severe panic attacks as of recently. Never experienced this before, but I’ve come to be really scared all the time. This video and comments helped me through a terrible one. If you guys have some tips please share them.
Love you🫶🏼 you can beat it everytime.
@Austin612Realtor i had my first panic attack today 😢
I didn’t have my first one until 25, I’m 28. You have to accept that you can’t win all of them, but when you lose a battle. Be kind to yourself. I’ve been mostly panic free for the last year, but the last two weeks I’ve been having them almost daily again, so I’m here with you. Know you’re not alone and that millions of others deal with it too. That alone helped me with some of the reclusiveness. Also, I strongly suggest you get out. Even if it’s for 5 minutes to go to a drive through and get a coffee. Don’t seclude yourself. I have a habit of that and it makes it a lot worse for me, so I have my girlfriend and friends keep me somewhat social. Even if I can only do it in a little spurt. You have to get to the point even when it’s mid panic attack you know you’re safe. I tell myself I’m not going to pass out even though it feels that way because I never have. I tell myself I’m loved by many. I also call my girlfriend, best friend or mother when it’s bad if I feel stuck at the “peak” of the episode. You’ve got this and I 100% believe in you and love you.
Me too
Even I have a panic attack it scares a lot
I used to struggle with panic attacks myself, but today everything is much different. There was also anxiety. I wish you all a speedy recovery❤️
How did you became a winner?
I don`t struggle for me they come very easy😂
I was having a panic attack when this video popped up on my phone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the reminder of how to get through a panic attack. 🙏❤️
Someone is looking out for you ❤
God is great
You should do more panic attack talk down videos! You have such a calming presence and reassuring words. Please do the next one in front of your well color coded books, my ocd loves it 😂
When panic is caused by covert abuse (meaning we do not realize that toxic people are causing our panic) then talk down is equal to crap fitting into abuse.
@@ranc1977 you seem to be obsessed with these videos
@@ranc1977 Distance yourself from toxic people
That's not ocd, ocd is an anxiety disorder, it is not comfortable.
'Should'?!
My panic attacks can last hours. It’s torture. I stop breathing properly for so long , when I do comedown I pass out for hours. I am hopeful and working on it.
🫂
Update? I'm going through the same
@@pocolocoJOJOhope you feel better bro, praying for you
I don’t normally comment on videos, but I can’t tell you how helpful this was during a stronger than normal panic attack I was having at work. My anxiety always elevates before my period, and I know that’s what I was experiencing, but I couldn’t get myself out of it until I watched this video. THANK YOU!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Had a panic attack in the middle of the night last night and your voice calmed me so much that I was able to fall asleep. You have such a calm, reassuring voice. Your kids must fall asleep 3 minutes into evening story time! Thank you!!
Oh my gosh! I can’t thank you enough !! I’ve listened to you twice while in the middle of a panic attack and both times you’ve walked me through it! Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏
Guys you are strong Im in the middle of a panic attack right mow breathing is funny but Im stronger than this!! There is million of us just like you feeling the same thing and we are the best people ever
I stumbled upon this video while searching for ways to cope with panic attacks, and I'm so glad I did.You're making a difference!
Worst thing for me is the “what if” What if it is dangerous? What if I’m not safe?
It’s so hard to tell myself it’s ok but I keep trying. This video does help, thank you.
Same here! I keep doing this what if loop in my head that I feel like I don’t even have control over! What if I’m actually going to die or what if this and that. It’s so absolutely terrifying 😢
Well I literally have what you described. Doctors wont give me benzos. I went downstairs to car then back, walked back and forth.. as speaker mentioned in the video. If doing something active helps, then its not serious.
I’ve just fallen out with my best friend on holiday, and booked the next flight home. I am beside myself and I have struggled with my anxiety for years, so I wanted some help as my mum isn’t here and this video really helped me. I rarely ever get any useful advice from RUclips but the way you used ‘safe’ as a key word is an eye opener for someone like me who often fears the worst when in panic mode. Being safe is everything. Thank you so much.
I never thought I’d actually die because of a panic attack. I can tell myself this will pass, but it took a medical doctor who diagnosed a chemical imbalance and who prescribed medication to get my life back. All the meditation, telling myself I’ll get through this, breathing techniques will help, but living with panic attacks daily is literally not living. The medications have been the key . The other techniques will help but if I have to take meds the rest of my life, like a diabetic who needs insulin, so be it.
What meds are you on? Currently struggling 🙏
I was in the acute phase of a panic attack, it's 6.30AM where I am and I have no one to call or talk to and no crisis lines available to call (they don't operate until 9AM). This video helped me so much to regain at least a little bit of control and reconnect with myself. I used to suffer from cronic panic attacks 10 years ago, so it's nothing new, but it had been a while since the last time I'd had to deal with them. Thank you for this video. And to whoever's reading, you're not alone
My ears are on fire, pain in my throat, feel like I’m about cry. I decided to go on vacation with my family. I’m terrified of water and hate being g so far away from home. We are at the ocean…. I really want to enjoy this trip for my husband and kids, but I’m feeling like I made a huge mistake! Everyone is having a great time while I sit trying to deep breath to calm down. I will try these techniques. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so so much for all you do. This video has single handedly saved me from a trip to the ER multiple times. I can actually imagine a life without the constant fear of a panic attack now. You're literally saving lives. Thank you
Wow. You literally just guided me through a panic attack. By the end of the video I felt better. Thank you.
Love you🫶🏼 you can beat it everytime.
thank you so much for this video!! I have really bad nocturnal anxiety which causes nausea, racing heart, a faint sensation, and shaking. These symptoms then in turn make my anxiety worse, however this video nearly instantly made me realise and understand that what I was experiencing was a panic attack, not the onset of some deadly illness!
I've also suffered from insomnia for many years because of this nocturnal anxiety, and while that's not magically gonna go away, I do feel a LOT better and more able to sleep than I normally would during/after a panic attack.
Emma, you are such a blessing! Your video has kept me from going over the edge into full blown panic attack many time. I can't thank you enough!
I have suffered from panic attacks on and off for as long as I can remember. 90% of them happen in the middle of the night. My heart will start to race, get scary heart palpitations, chest pains etc. I’ve had easily more than 1000 of these and every time I feel like I’m having a heart attack. It’s currently midnight and my wife and I are on vacation in the Caribbean. I’ve been anxious for the last 3 hours. Feels like I’m going to have a heart attack but I do deep down I’m fine.
As someone with Anxiety and ADHD this was so helpful. I just experienced a Panic Attack in my room and after taking my antianxiety medication I went outside into the driveway and crouched on the floor trying to regulate my breathing. This video and your voice is so soothing tbh. Thank you.🙏🏼
My biggest hurdle during a panic attack is the overwhelming nausea that accompanies it. I don’t fear I’m having a heart attack but the feeling of nausea is awful and that increases the fear. What should I do in those moments?
I've been through the same exact feeling and what helps me is drinking orange tea tree or any calming tea 🍵 and hopefully I can have a couple mins to sit and relax, while I practice some breathing exercises (4x6x8) works wonders for me ! Hope it helps 🤍 sending you love !
@seinfeldhik, Get some ginger tea bag, or some fresh ginger cut a piece off maybe chew on it a little. Also look up reflexology points on body you massage for nausea, to calm down, etc.
Oddly amongst many things I like to recommend, I think you might enjoy Mark Manson's 21st Century update of Alan Watts's classic: The Backwards Law.
Take a ginger tablet! I get nausea with my panic attacks too and I swear by those. Although... you will have ginger burps for a bit! 😅
This!! I double over with stomach pain and always have diarrhea immediate aftet
Thank you so much. I've come back to this over and over and over these past few months and sometimes it's the only thing that helps me. I feel like I'm dying every single time. Had a horrible panic attack in the middle of Costco today and found a display chair to sit on while listening to this, and then replayed it four times while I did the rest of my shopping. Feeling almost normal now. Thank you so much. I'm eternally grateful for this video.
These videos have become my go-to when having a severe panic attack. It took 3 months to taper of benzos and I don't want to go back. The panic attacks are severe at times along with other withdrawal symptoms. Your videos give me peace and strength to keep pushing. Thank you!
Have you ever taken medication for anxiety and panic and if so does it help? I ask lots of people and I always get mixed answers between yes and no. Meds feels like my only hope at this point when I finally have enough money to see a professional. I need some bit of hope
@@EagleEntity I take anxiety medication, and it helps. It doesn't rid it completely, but it definitely helps a lot!
@@mustafabraxton4469 thank you for the reply. There so much to look forward to.
Your videos have helped me a lot... I had a panic attack this morning and felt like I was going to die. I then started to pray with my boyfriend. Meanwhile, I felt numb in my face, I was shaking, I was physically sick, etc. After a bit I started to feel better and wanted to do research on why I felt this way. Mind you, I haven't had a panic attack in a very long time, so having one this morning was unexpected. I started to feel off the day before, but I just thought it was due to hormones. Your videos have helped me a lot and I can't thank you enough! I am more than my emotions and I can get through anything with reason and with Gods help!
0:30 Flood of tears. I feel so validated. My trauma is releasing. I am healing. Thank you for being here for us. ♥️
You cannot make enough videos like this. Last one you posted popped up exactly while I was in the middle of a day long freak out. Thanks for all you do!
The “fear, bring it on!” And saying you can handle this actually helped me so much when i was going through a rly bad time. Its like taunting it, it feels so much better.
Thank you! This video came out at the best time. I recently got sick but felt fine mentally, but the night I found out it was covid I woke up having a panic attack. Every night since then for the past two nights I've had a relapse in panic. As if going to sleep in my own bed was the most dangerous place my body can be in. I've been using your guides on anxiety attacks to calm myself down and get little bits of sleep. Last night I was finally able to sleep through the entire night, although I do still feel a little tingly today. I'm excited to try these techniques tonight if the panic comes back!
🤍 I'm rooting for you!!! What has helped me a lot for bedtime is drinking orange tea tree or any calming tea (no caffeine) and reading to help get my mind of those intrusive thoughts 💭
@@lindapena11111 This vid is great and I also find the ones on Panic / Anxiety / Inferiority Complex on the Uncommon Knowledge UK channel with Mark Tyrrell, very, very good too. This one may help my friend where his video didn't, frankly.
I totally relate, I had Covid last month and have asthma so my anxiety was out of control making me just have more asthma. I recommend an ice pack / bag of ice right in the middle of your chest on bare skin. It helps shock you out of it. Also Headspace : Unwind Your Mind on Netflix helps calming down (or their app but it costs money). But honestly exactly what Emma says about exploring your emotions and analyzing your thoughts helped me the most. Knowledge helped me get through a lot.
@@Amanda.Jayne. tapping on your chest also helps! Either are resetting your vagus nerve to being in the para sympathetic state instead of the sympathetic state(fight or flight)
Try not to anticipate whether you're going to have a panic attack or not because it's just a releases more adrenaline into your system which is what finally does cause panic attacks God blessings and I hope you get well!
It’s weird how much the comment section has helped as well. I didn’t expect that ❤
Thank you so much for being compassionate and helping people who suffer from panic attacks. Not everyone understands because they have never experienced one. Your video has helped me tremendously.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
@Bruce Mars Sure. He ships anywhere and discreetly.. that's if you're worried about that
Is he on instagram?
EVERYONE should remember psychedelics aren’t for everyone tho
These are ads.
This video has really helped me, especially reading every one else's comments, it made me realise I am not alone, all your experiences I can totally relate to, It made me so emotional but just what I needed, to cry and released all that built up tension, I only wished I had found this earlier, I have struggled with this my whole life and always thought I was the only one and I must be crazy
Wow, I've never tried to not fight against all these millions of panic attacks until I did what you said. It works. My stomach isn't as sick, my breathing is much better, my mind is actually more present which never happens. Thank you so much.
I’m shaking,crying,screaming and having trouble breathing. This video made me feel safe. Safer then before❤
Words cannot express how grateful I am that you made this video. I had the worst panic attack of my life this morning, and that's saying a lot with my anxiety disorder and all. I almost went to the hospital, it felt so awful. But I was able to calm down in a few minutes with this video. It was like a breath of fresh air. Definitely saving this for if I have another one. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
My attacks last between 5 to 8 hours. Very scary.
Same almost every night right when i start to doze off boom i wake up in a panic now i fear night and that triggers it ive always been an over thinker and have had constant stress since a child but this last week i feel like all day everyday tingly numb and dizzy my heart pounding i just hope this passes soon
@@johnmerow5025 mine started around the same exact time with the same exact symptoms.
We got this bro
@@johnmerow5025 omg i feel exactly the same thing and it really scares me
@@johnmerow5025 I had the exact same thing happen to me right about this time. I had horrible side effects to the panic medication I was out on but once they took me off of it, it disappeared. Haven’t had an attack since. This is not your life, you’ll get through it. :)
Dude can we chat?
I had a bit of a scary moment while driving today - a panic attack came out of nowhere. I pulled over and quickly searched RUclips for some guidance. That's when I found your video and I cannot thank you enough! I was really frightened and honestly thought I was having a heart attack or might even faint, but your video helped me calm down and feel so much better. May God Bless you thank you.
I suffer from bpd and I was about to either destroy something or hurt myself and this talk helped me calm down. Thank you so much for this video and for your help. I hope yall feel better soon, much strength!
Oh god oh god. Thank you thank you. It’s been almost a year since I’ve first started getting these attacks. It’s such a battle. But this helped so much. Thank you. And for anyone else here, trust me, if you’re here, you’re fine! You’ll be fine. Literally just listen to this video.
Ive been dealing with chronic panic attacks every few months for the last couple of years. They often last 24 - 72 hours and i feel extremely nauseous, puking up everything in my stomach till nothing is left. The only ways out so far have been with prescription pills to knock me out, and hopefully reset me. I end up so depleted that we need to order an IV nurse to get my fluids back up and some anti nausea. This week I had on and off panic attacks for about 7 days until I saw your video after being up all night, trying to force myself to calm down. What you said about not being able to force yourself to calm down, and instead rolling with it, allowed me to actually break the cycle. I felt relieved and when i started reading the comments, i started crying because im so thankful you posted this and have help so many people like me truely suffering with this. Thank you so much.
I've listened to this clip so many times so thank you so much!! My night pannick attacks are the worst sometimes especially because of my fear of death. In my childhood I lost my grandmother. She had a brain tumor and after 1 year of struggling we lost her. I suffered so much back then and as an adult I frequently noticed how I am extra attentive to any of my symptoms. Especially...with my headaches that are kind of frequent. I plan on going to the neurologist this year so I really hope I am ok. Sometimes when i try to sleep and maybe my head hurts a little I immediately start thinking that I have a serious problem and that I might die here and now. but "I can handle this, this will pass" ..
Hope that anyone who is struggling with anxiety, depression or any mental illness remembers they are strong. Have patience with youself
Who here already dizzy and panicking over something that shouldn't be worried about? Sorry for bad English, this isn't my first language
Yessss mee
I was skeptical of challenging my panic attack because my brain can be very mean with intrusive thoughts, but it really really helped in the long run. Thank you.
I get the worst intrusive thoughts during a panic attack!
i had one of my worst panic attacks last night, but was finally able to get some sleep once i put this on loop in my headphones. thank you ❤️
I just moved out of my parent’s house and I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. Your soothing voice and reassuring affirmations really help. Thank you ❤
Thank you so so much for this video!! I had never had panic attacks in my life until just recently! It all started during a rough pregnancy where I legitimately did about pass out at times! I finally decided this is what was happening to me. After visiting with my doctor, he agreed. So I sat down to look for some tools and techniques while in my rational mind to help when these hit. You described EXACTLY what happens to me and how I feel! It’s all life and light to me! God bless you for your work!
I’m terrified of the physical symptoms of panic and suffer from severe anxiety. My panic attacks are bad and I feel I losing control.
I fear the next one and do not go out on my own now. I’m trying to lean into the feelings. And say these things to myself but not winning as yet.
Thank you Emma, your videos are so informative and I will keep trying to conquer my panic. ( UK listener )
Hope your doing better and will get better trust me I know what this is like that you are going through it can feel very crippling like you don’t wanna leave your house or even your room for that matter cause I am at that point myself I feel anything I do at this point can trigger anxiety and that fear of panicking or losing my mind or anything that comes with it amplifies my fears. It’s important to note you are not alone in this struggle and I often say we “damaged” people need to stick together to help eachother get through. Give eachother advice and pointers on our journey to recovery. We can beat it. Just need to hang in there
Yes and the Pain is no one understand this at that time They Say to me "Stop Doing Your Drama" they use the term "Drama" seriously as it's like its killed me... Just
@@mrbhagyesh3 how are you doing. Are the days difficult for you to get by or do you have nice coping ways to stick it through?
I've been waking up every night with a sensation that I can't get a full breath, it's been driving me crazy... I even went to the E.R. three times in the past couple weeks.
I like your advice on challenging the fear...like "Bring It On!!!"... thanks for this awesome video, it really helps
I cannot thank you enough for these videos and techniques. It’s been a week of shaking, dizzy, faint, sick and everything else. These helped relaxed me and I yawned like 4 times. I’ve slept 13 hours in 6 days so this helped
I searched for something to help me get through a panic attack as it was getting worse and your video helped me a lot, I'm struggling with them for almost almost 3 years now and learning and finally talking about them helped me not to have them a lot less than before, so when I start to have them again, like now, I'll watch more of your videos to help me get through them. I'm also happy to see that I'm not the only one struggling, as many of the people in the comments are telling their experiences
last year I had my first panic attack experience but I thought it was heart attack. Started to feel suffocating, heart beating fast as hell, tried to calm down only turned into hyperventilation, dizziness and lose of control. I lost consciousness for a monment.
Later that month I went to hospital for heart issue but find out nothing wrong. Only this year, I read some info about panic attack, finally I feel I find my cause.
Thanks
Thank you for setting your videos downloadable for offline play. You've been a part of my life now and helped me a lot. Thank you Emma
I’m currently in a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. I am a solo female traveler from America and I feel like about to faint. My heart is racing!!!
omg. this was fantastic. i haven’t had a panic attack this bad in years!! 6 minutes into the video and i feel myself finally calming down. thank you so much
I’ve been having extreme anxiety for the last 3 days and this is the first time I’ve felt relieved. I feel safe and I’m ok. Thank you so much
Thank you. Right into my "what to watch when feeling bad" playlist. ❤️
Does anyone get daily panic attacks just by thinking about panic attacks? Like ur scared everyday that u going to have a panic attack so it throws up into one of
Yes just talking about it makes me feel that way
It’s like fear of the fear
@@kylees44…yes, that’s exactly what it is..fear of fear. So scared of panicking it brings it on. It’s awful.
Thsts my main issue. I don’t have fears of certain things really. Just fear of having a panic gives me a panic attack. Usually it’s in situations where I know I can’t get out of right away if I do have one
@@KenGuy517 …that’s it exactly. I have social phobia and agoraphobia, and if someone visits me I’m scared I’ll have a panic attack in front of them, and so that makes me not want to be in their presence, I have to keep leaving the room! I feel like an idiot.
YOU ARE A TRUE HERO. I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK MY HEART WAS 120BPM and after watching this it's 97 (low for me)
120 is not very fast. It could feel uncomfortable, but that isn’t a dangerous heart rate for a normal person.
Get your thyroid checked.
@@Margrreet I have had everything checked and all my bloodwork is normal but thanks
@@MultiFreddy34 I know but that's the point, it's uncomfortable. Which feeds the panic!
Love this video, have used successfully several times when needed. Emma's voice is so soothing and reassuring, love her!
"Feel the Fear and do it anyway" such a great book and audio that I would listen to when my father was battling cancer. Ty for your videos, I am only recently experiencing major panic attacks because I am trying to be supportive of a loved one that is not well, I am learning how difficult it is to navigate the medical and social services institutions and the way the system seems to be set up for those who need help to give up and go away, unless you can afford legal representation. Thank you for your calm voice and wise words, I can get through this for my loved one and for myself, panic and worry will not get the best of me, I have a purpose and I can do this today. 🌻✌️💖
that "let's have the biggest panic attack" solved my problem with panic. I've seen psychiatrists and took medicine(alprazolam, escitalopram etc) during the early days of my panic problems i was so afraid of panic attacks, that i would start to have one.. then one day when i was lying on my bed, i felt the start of a full blown panic attack(because of overthinking of unrealistic things), out of nowhere i suddenly said "ohhh shit i would love to have this, let's go, give me that scariest panic attack", then it disappeared.:D.. Just dont be afraid of that, just embrace it. im still a nervous type but the "panic with no actual reasons" thing already went away or maybe it is still there, but i learned to trick my brain
This is encouraging, thanks. But I must say it’s hard to imagine myself saying that when I’m having one
I don’t really understand how saying” I would love this, let’s go” helps stop the scary thoughts? Mine usually start because I hear about someone that has got cancer or a disease or illness then I start getting scared thinking I’ll get it blah blah blah. I think it comes from watching my mother suffer for nine years and the horrible way she died and my daughter dying in 2005. The weird part is I know I’m going to a much better place when I die wheres there’s no pain and suffering and cruelty and such it’s the process that scares the crap out of me.
❤ Emma for the win! Thank you for sharing this amazing skill set!!
I have been have experienced anxiety and panic attacks since a child. They seem to be getting worse more often for me and now. I have been using techniques and skills from therapy. But sometimes I just need a good episode like this with Emma.
I needed this!❤ I have gerd and IBS and have had my heart checked at least 50 times. I woke up this morning with cramping and achiness
In my chest. I’ve had this feeling hundreds of times with my gerd & IBS flared yet every single time the nagging thought of “it could be a heart attack this time!”
And I start panicking🙈
I can relate to The GERD. I also have IC. It’s a vicious cycle, if the GERD or IC gets flared up it starts a panic attack which then makes the pain of those two worse and lasts for like a week. Or if I get a panic attack I’m paranoid “oh no, I have to hurry and get this under control so it doesn’t glare the GERD or bladder pain. Is so hard for me to calm down.
Omg exactly the same here. To add to that... My dad had a heart attack like 5 years ago. What have you done to improve the anxiety? I'm white knuckling this thing... And it sucks.
same here, every single time I rushed to ER and had a EKG everything was fine with my heart, it's so relieved yet annoying at the same time
currently trying to schedule with an endocrinologist to check if my random anxiety attacks are some kind of hormonal overdrive
I'm the exact same. I get chest pains from my GERD them start to feel nausea in my stomach and immediately think I'm dying even though I've had a full clear health check lol My heart is pounding uncontrollably as I type this!
Well I showed up to my pcp because of all of this and was on the midst of an anxiety attack... And they gave me Lexapro to short term recover from this issue... And I won't lie... It's really helping.
This is the only video I have found to date that will calm me down and there are ALOT out there on RUclips… but this one is different and I come back to this every single time.
Would love if your channel offered a story time with your voice, I’m thinking it’s your voice that’s soothing so it sucks when no one else speaks like you
I was starting to feel anxious and tingly in my arms. I watched this video and now I got my body to calm down so thank you
