I come back to this video so often and it helps every time. Sometimes I listen three or four times but reading the comments always helps me feel less alone. If you’re reading this, just remember it will pass and you will be okay.
hi you lovely people, may i give you guys a tip while watching this video? (or for future anxiety attacks)! get an ice cube, freeze pack, a cold/frozen water bottle, heck even a frozen bag of peas lol! and place it right on your forehead or temples. the ice tricks the mind to think that the coldness is pain, when it really isnt. so your brain is almost like “hey brb about this anxiety shit, i gotta go deal with this pain!” 😅, and as your brain is doing that, that is when you are in a clearer and more calm state to relax and calm down. breathing exercises, music, etc has never worked for me with my panic attacks. but the ice does!! sometimes if i feel an attack starting, ill immediately grab my freeze pack (for like lunchboxes) and place it right on my forehead. then ill call a close family member and talk or watch my favorite tv show. it helps. the ice is also soothing as well. keep telling yourself “how many times have i been through an anxiety attack before? a lot. and it does indeed pass. i am strong, i am safe, and i am okay.” you’ve been reading this long already, which has probably taken you a decent amount of time, and i am proud of you for that. you are not alone. im currently writing this because i feel nauseous, and i get panic attacks when i feel like im going to throw up. but also as im writing this, its okay. worst comes to worst, what happens? i puke? itll pass. it always does. youve got this my friend.
I have experienced pretty severe panic attacks since leaving the military. Last night was probably the 2nd worst panic attack I've had. My body was uncontrollably shaking, hands/feet/nose were freezing cold, and my heart was beating uncontrollably.... it felt like what I can only describe as a heart attack for 2-3 hours(an eternity at the time). Just wanted to say thank you for this video. After listening to this video 7 or 8 times, I went from being on the brink of calling emergency services.... to slowly getting the episode under control. For anyone else experiencing something similar, just know you're not alone and you will get through this.
That's how mine are. Mine wake me up from a sound sleep. Mine put me in the ER for hours. Thought I was fine and handling my stuff alright, but guess not.2nd worst feeling ever.
This is exactly how I've been since last night. I wish I could cry it out of scream, but nothing is getting rid of it. I have ptsd from a violent attack in 2016 and it's really playing on my mind at the moment. It's making me so scared and paranoid

I’ve been awake for almost 5 days , crying profusely. and honestly it hasn’t crossed my mind to eat. I walk in different rooms with my animals and just sit and cry for hours at a time screaming for someone to hear my cry. I have listen to two meditations videos for over 8 years straight just to fall asleep at night & I’m blessed to have run into your video.. thank you . thank you for taking the time to make this video, it’s appreciated by millions of people & this will be moved up to the top of my meditation playlist. “my feelings are here to help/protect me, not hurt me”.
My heart was pounding, my thoughts were racing and I was dizzy and nauseous! I got on my knees and prayed to God that it would stop. Then I found your video. It's helping so much, thank you and thank God. I wish it was longer.
You just helped me get through a 2 hour panic attack. I was so close to calling an ambulance. Thank you for always being here when I need this talk down.
Reading these comments have made me feel at ease that so many of us are going through this. May everyone be okay 🙏 and ride out what's going on within .
This is a reminder that you’re loved and appreciated. There are people all over the world that share the love that you do. This is not the end, but a transformation. Sending you love and gratitude. Namaste
I know you posted this like three years ago, but I have to say I am so very grateful. I suffer with severe panic disorder and it has really helped me out on more than one occasion recently.
I’m experiencing a panic attack right now and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you for this. For everyone else out there you are not alone in this. You are safe and not alone.
I was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2021. I’ve been having panic/anxiety attacks almost every day for the last 2 years. I know logically that I’m safe because I’ve had my heart analyzed with just about every test you can get. That being said, when I have a panic attack it REALLY feels like a heart attack, and it’s so hard to remind myself that I’m safe because it feels SO real. But it always ends up passing eventually, and being reminded of that fact through this video was really helpful.
This is what I have brother it’s doing me in as we speak laying on the sofa listening trying to get through it hope it gets better for you bro as well and for me
Me to I have add this for 13 years on an off maybe 7 years of straight anxiety attack an panic attack iv never felt the same either wish I could just go back to how I once was, I don't know if I'm safe

2am panic attack. It’s hard to think when that happens, and I had a crazy idea to find something on RUclips, which brought me here. This was amazing and I can’t thank you enough. For some reason (first time) I grabbed an ice cube and kept it at the base of my head, on the back of my neck. That, and your words pulled me out. I’m so grateful.
Yes!! I also randomly found the ice trick and it almost immediately helps. Such a life saver. It didint work this time unfortunately but it’s definitely always a go too
I lost my dad in front of my eyes 3 weeks ago, fatal and sudden heart attack. I’ve been prescribed anti-anxiety medication and proceeded to have my first panic attack yesterday. I thought I was dying, begging for an ambulance to be called. - I have since been wiped out, and can feel another one brewing. This video is great. Thank you. ❤
@@applejuice2949 - Thank you for your reply. I was in a really dark place with it all at the time of writing this. The intense panic attacks stopped, but I’m still battling the anxiety. Unfortunately I have developed a fear of having a heart attack since watching it happen to my dad, which at the age of 24 is immensely irrational. Hoping that over time the fear disappears.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m 50 and that happened to me with my dad when I was 8 years old. I share this in hopes that it will remind you that you are going to be ok. Even when you think you won’t, you are not alone and it will get better. Sending love & healing.
I hope you find the lord and saviour Jesus, the ruler of all peace and freedom. Rely on him. Trust in his peace that defies all understanding. Sorry for your loss. Stay safe.
Even though I probably shouldn't be saying this on the internet, someone might wanna hear it. I'm a thirteen year old boy who had been struggling with mental health since I was very young due to the many traumas I have related to cancer and tumors. And I end up getting random attacks of anxiety and panic when I get overwhelmed by silence. So this really helped me calm down tonight after I had one of my bad ones.

Reading all these comments is oddly comforting as I always feel so alone and lost during these terrible attacks 😞 all the love and support here is amazing and makes you realize you are not alone and you will be okay ❤ to anyone dealing with these attacks just know you are loved and definitely not alone
woke up today with crippling anxiety, could barely sleep the whole night and kept feeling the anxiety in my chest and abdomen very badly, i was so restless i looked up anxiety meditations for a desperate attempt to feel better and i didnt even think it was gonna work but it did, this video actually worked and im so shocked because no video ever has for me
Second panic attack I’ve had this week because of healthy anxiety. It’s making my life miserable. Thank you so much for helping me get through this panic attack ❤
Dude.. I am in the same boat. And I haven't had a panick attack in 2 years... but a month ago it started again. I guess oncce you feel a panic attack again it's easy to get one a lot more frequently. We got this🩷🩷🩷
@@moglihi8668 you’re not alone love. I felt the same exact way when I posted that comment. I laid on the floor in the bathroom until he got home. I honestly thought I would never be able to get out of this tunnel vision like depression. Through therapy, micro dosing, and from the support of my partner, things are little more easier now. I love you! You’re going to get through this too and you’re going to be okay!
I had anxiety attack. I was laying on my bed and couldn’t calm down. Nothing seemed to help…but this really did. You told stuff that I needed to hear and i calmed down. You really do help. Thanks much
This helped. I kept hitting replay for a few hours until I was able to sleep. I never had a panic attack so bad that lasted 3-4 hours. I’d feel like 15% better momentarily and then go back into racing heart, fluttery chest and stomach, faint feeling, and whole body shaking ….. it just would not stop. But this helped me eventually be able to relax. Thank God for this video and my husband helping me the whole at through. 🙏🏻
This video really saved me today! I was flying, nervous out of my mind, felt sick and out of control. I’d taken some medicine but it wasn’t quite enough to calm me down. I listened to this on loop the entire time and closed my eyes and managed to get through it, despite all the turbulence and shaking (from me!). The reassurances that I’m safe and my anxiety cant actually hurt me were just absolutely perfect and I felt their calming effect every time. Despite everything I felt was “wrong” at the time, I landed fine and am now chilling in my airbnb bed feeling glad I managed to endure it. Thank you for being a light to the community of anxious people struggling with health anxiety, agoraphobia and such things that aren’t really discussed openly. I am so relieved to have found someone with really similar struggles to me. I hope anyone reading this knows they are capable of so much more than their mind lets them do. ‘Beating’ your anxiety, letting it go on as something not dangerous can change your world.
I was going crazy I didn’t have anyone up to keep me calm everyone was asleep. I felt nauseous, i was hyperventilating, and having thoughts race through my mind. This helped me a little! Thank you for this video, especially because I have a big fear of throwing up which makes my panic or anxiety attack even worse. I try to keep myself cool but most of the time I can’t control myself, I know I’m not alone and neither are you, keep strong and I promise no matter what things will get better just take things easy step by step don’t be in a rush to keep yourself cool! Stay safe.
im in the same situation as YOU im so glad im not the only one dealing w this :’) this helped me too but i also hate throwing up and overthinking it makes it sm worse nd its worse while it’s happening you have no one to calm you but yourself. i always want someone to hug me .
@@xcx._0 same thing! I hope your feeling a lot more better at this moment, it will get better I promise it’s just for now trust me I got better! Whenever I watch a movie or smt I feel better when I sit down in the living room turn on the television and watch a action show! This is a safe space DONT worry🤍
I've been feeling extremely anxious for weeks on end now. As soon as you said that the anxiety is just my body trying to protect me from a danger that is not really there, I started crying. I've been through so much that I've learnt to be overly vigilant so I needed that reminder that it is neither mine nor my body's fault that I'm struggling
Hey y’all, I come back to this video so often. I have emetophobia (excessive fear of vomit overall) and I often will wake up in the middle of the night mid panic attack, from a nightmare about vomiting
Whoever reading my comment, just wanna say it's okay if you are not okay, we will heal it together! Don't even try to give up so easily, we can go thru it❤
Crazy panic attack out of no where. EMT’s checked my vitals and said I was fine but was still feeling extremely anxious. This video is helping. The fact that you took the time to make this video is admirable. I’m thankful for people like you out there.
I had to take my anxiety meds I haven’t touched in a long while today, I haven’t felt this intense of a panic attack in so long. Pent-up emotions and sadness pass with time, but when too much happens at once it’s easy to forget there is an after to this feeling… Thank you for this
Thank you. It’s shortly after midnight, and I’m not completely calm yet, but I think this helped me have a sense of catching my breath again. Panic attacks are so scary, but this helps.
Thank you for being such a great person to make a video like this, you probably don’t realise the amount of people you are helping and even potentially saved lives.
Age 13 girl, middle school. I think that’s enough said. 1:09 am. School night. Worst panic attack in my life so far. Thank you for your time reading this.
Oh no!!! Just remember they suck but they won't kill you. And here's a mental thing that helps me is that if You count 1 through 10 then you're not out of breath you're just over breathing.
Maybe no one’s said it yet, but I’m proud of you for getting through it, panic attacks, anxiety- anything in these kind of categories can feel impossible, so take the small wins. (:
I keep coming back to this. Sometimes I even play it while driving cause I get anxiety going to doctor appointments. I was almost anxiety fear for 5 years after medications and therapy, now I’m pregnant and my anxiety is back in full swing😞 it’s the hardest watching myself fall back to my old self. It’s hard. But I know I can fight it again, I’m gonna focus heavily on my mental health after I give birth. Thank you for making this. It truly does help me through my panic attacks. I am 33 weeks pregnant and I will continue to come back as much as I need it
This helped me so much. My whole body went numb and I felt so horrible like I couldn’t breathe properly. I was shaking horribly and this helped to calm me down! Thank you!
Every time I have an anxiety attack I come back to your video. It’s been over 6 months now and every single time I have a severe one I’m here for you to calm me down. Thank you for this! You’re helping a lot! Every time I don’t have access to this, I play your “you are safe” sentence in my head with your tone and your voice and it calms me down instantly. For all the people who are suffering from panic or anxiety attacks, we got this!! It’s not going to bother you forever. Peace and love to everyone, keep relaxing ❤️
I just had my first panic attack in over a year, and my first panic attack since I stopped disassociating, making it one of my worst ones yet. I had two consecutive panic attacks laying in my sibling’s lap and my dad came in causing it to get worse. I mean completely nonverbal, no more than a second spent each breath, curled up in a ball neatly crying. As what seemed almost like a last-ditch effort they played this. By the time I got up to go back to my room, before the video was even over, I was pretty much falling asleep. This video saved me so
I feel much calmer, understanding how many people are going through the same thing and, most importantly, how many people manage to cope with this condition. Very scary and complicated and protracted panic attacks came back to me because I came to another country to study. Now I have to remember how to appease them. again. It is very difficult when you are far from home, but I know that I have coped with them before and I will cope now too. With the help of a psychologist. I believe in you, the one who is also going through this difficult experience. We'll make it.
Just had a massive panic attack this morning(Sunday), not sure what bought it on this time. But did notice mania earlier in the week(Tuesday) and then felt depression. But yesterday I was fine, I went out shopping on my own. I was diaognosed with Complex PTSD a few years back from DV. This really helped @Anxiety Fitness, thank you.
i am 15 years old. i have been struggling with anxiety and sadness for a year and a half now. It reslly sucks and its the worst feeling in the world. I jooe everyone who sees this used this video in a good way and calmed down. it is 2 am right now for me and i cant fall asleep because of my thoughts, the video id helping me calm down a bit. thank you.❤️
So sorry for what you’re going through. Perhaps change your name from ‘nothing there’ - of course you’re much more than that! Use something positive, be careful what you manifest 🤷🏼♀️ All the best ❤️
I had my first panik attack last week and since my body has been under a lot of stress and my breathing was difficult listening to this has really helped and I know I can get through this 😢🙂 may everyone have peace.
Thank you, I have been struggling with servere panic for the past year, where I cannot calm down for hours and experience chest pains from my panic attacks. This is the only youtube video that has helped me and I cannot thank you enough!! ❤❤
I listen to this every single night on loop to fall asleep. I've been having the worst panic attacks and convince myself I'm dying and I'll be shaking on my bed. This has been the only thing that has given me any type of relief. I finally feel safe to sleep again
I cannot thank you enough for getting me through a PA this time. I was driving to the cabin in the middle of nowhere and it hit me the hardest in months. I was alone in the car, no meds with me and a horrible mix of sensations just fell onto me. I even felt my fingers go numb a little. I couldn't stop driving, it would make me feel even worse. I stopped for a second to start playing the video and kept driving. I felt much better after 5 minutes and by the end of the video I was completely fine. Made it safely to the cabin and took a nap right away! Thank you SO much
ive been listening to this almost every night since 6 months ago and this video really helps me. The voice and music eases all of my thoughts and makes me feel relaxed. If anyone reading this is struggling, I just wanna say that you're doing great and you're very strong. You've been through so much and you deserve peace and relaxation. Times when you're having a panic attack seems like the end of the world but it always ends at some point. I have extreme emetophobia and social anxiety which is a lot for me. I wanna say some of the things that had helped me through my panic attacks. First, I always try to find something to fidget with. It helps my mind get distracted. I also contact a close friend. Sometimes I dont feel comfortable telling my parents so I tell my friends that im feeling anxious and they always reassure me and distract me. Something else that has helped me is chewing on gum or ice. It helps my throat to stop feeling tight. This is all I have to say and I hope that whoever is reading this has an amazing day.❤
I’m at the gym right now and recently, about every other time that go, I get terrible anxiety out of the blue. My brain will be somewhat calm but my body(hands&legs) will slightly shake and make me uneasy. I’m still in the gym working out but I’m listening to this and the video isn’t done but it works for sure. I can feel my body start to relax and the anxiety fade away. Thank you so much!
That's really good, it's actually a big step if you can manage your anxiety or panic attack and stay where you are. And not get too overwhelmed and leave good job:)
Big shout out to the person that made this video. Bro literally just helped me make it through this panic attack thank you a billion times over. I feel so much better now thank god. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anybody.
I had a nervouse breakdown last week and I'm still recovering from it. To have the reassurance that I'm safe and that panic attacks won't hurt me really helped. Everything's been so scary and stressful lately and i just want the anxiety to be over so i can relax and enjoy my life again. Im so happy im not alone in all of this
Dude I’m the same I’m on my dads RUclips this is his son aged 18 just had my first today had anxiety a long time just never had one and boy has it scared me I genuinely thought I was dying but I’m the same so glad that people are with us on it and understand how bad it can feel my mum used to get them she said just don’t think about it I know it’s harder then it sounds but take ur mind of it and ur body will relax bro
I don’t often comment on videos but I am having an extremely bad flare up of my chronic illness which is causing anxious thoughts. It is also after 2am and I am absolutely exhausted and desperate to sleep. I have found this channel helpful to give me going and accepting that where I’m at is where I’m at and I need to just wait it out as frustrating as that is. I appreciate these videos so much. Thank you.
Keep up the fight it’s all in the head you are powerful more then you know you will and can get through it I’d had really bad anxiety now it’s got better
I have suffered with an anxiety and panic disorder for over 14 years. I self medicated for many years which means that even this far down the road, I’m learning to breathe and be mindful. I have used this video several times now at the point where I’m feeling anxious and the physical effects of an attack are starting. Zipping and zinging from my heart to my fingertips and back, then cartwheeling over my chest 😅 I find this video very effective and I love the fact that the video regularly tells you that you are safe, this has been very important to me. This is an effective video for anyone who needs it. It is worth learning breathing techniques to use alongside as often they can help to stem the growth of panic, and control anxiety. I like the fact that the video goes straight into soothing because I start breathing sensibly before I even put it on… and with this video I don’t need to wait through any breathing exercises. I hope that everybody who needs to hear it realises that you are safe, we are safe, anxiety won’t kill you, but not getting help might.

In the past 4 day I have gotten multiple pieces of news that are life altering. It was just too much all at once. This was the only thing that calmed me down and helped me fall asleep. ❤
I can't express how much this has helped. Both the video and the comment section made me feel so much less alone in this time. Ever since the war I became more sensitive psychologically, and I often get overstimulated which leads to panick attacks. They usually happen during nighttime and it's so hard to deal with and hold on to reason and breathing. This helped so much, probably going to put this on repeat. Thank you immensely ❤
Recently opened up about csa at the age of 24, something I've been surprising for over 10 years. All of the raw emptions and fear have come flooding back, hearing you tell me I'm safe if the only thing that's making me feel so
Thank you so much for posting this. I am 38 yrs old and I have struggled with anxiety since I was around 15-16. I have tried many different meditations while in a panic attack and this one and another one that you posted are what I go to every time. I started feeling really anxious and layed down and started to listen to this and I’m typing this at 4:09 in because the anxiety melted away so quickly. Thank you!!!
I’ve been having consistent panic episode all day where my heart has been racing and my stomach feels terrible. This has been going on for the past few days. Today was not as constant. I was feeling it while I was in bed tn and I watched this video. It helped me so much thank you. I really hope to be able to move on from this soon. ❤️
I don’t know bout anyone else, but my panic attacks can last to about 6 hours…. And those are really the shorter ones, I’ve tried plenty of videos, but breathing videos just make it worse, I can never quite get the pressure point ones. and if I look for too long I start to get anxious, but this video works crazy well for me. I hope one day I won’t have this issue, but for today, thank you so much for the relief
I am okay, and I am completely safe. Let your body know it's okay to relax, and Pause protection. Please pray for me and let me know how you all are doing, and how you're coping.
Going to share a few stories because having something to write helps me calm down, and I know for some people, having something to read helps them calm down. It does for me. Nobody has to read this of course.. Tbh I am rambling to help myself calm down. Helps my mind focus instead of going 673920 directions all at once. A long while back I discovered talking myself down from panic. My mom was rather.. well.. abusive, in some cases. I don't wake up easily, and I'm not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. The night has always been my friend. It is calm, peaceful and when I feel my best. But my mom made me feel like garbage if I slept past 10 and would scream at me if I slept past what she deemed was too late, and would make comments about it throughout the day sometimes. Apparently I do this thing where I can talk to people while still being mostly asleep.. so when she would ask if I am awake, I'd respond, but not be fully conscious of it. When she'd come back in my room and find me "back to bed", she'd scream at me. Some days I'd start my day by jolting out of bed in fear, not knowing why I am being screamed at, and then crying it out in the bathroom and trying to calm down. She passed away three years ago, but waking up is still weirdly scary sometimes. A couple years ago a cat knocked something over and it fell against my door, and the sound it made was similar to it being wrenched open with force. It was enough to jolt me out of bed and cause a massive panic attack. I couldn't believe how I went from sleeping, to crying and having trouble breathing in literal seconds. After a few minutes I started talking to myself and kind of imagined a scared, smaller, younger version of myself to talk to. "Hey kiddo. I know you're really scared right now and that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that. I know you're trying to protect us, and you're bracing us for the worst, helping us try to survive the day. And I appreciate you trying to keep us safe, but I need you to know things are different now. We don't have to be scared to wake up anymore. I know you're trying your best and you're just protecting us, but it is all okay. We can relax." I couldn't believe how much it helped me. A few months after this, I talked to her again. To myself. But a different part of me.. Sometimes I'll dismiss my feelings a lot for the sake of keeping the peace, for the sake of making people happy, etc. Sometimes I'd feel internally angry, upset, jealous, scared, or a mix of everything, and I used to get angry at those feelings, especially of jealousy. Now, my jealousy isn't a cute little quirk. It can get downright psychotic. It is severe. I am aware of it and make as many efforts as possible to control it and make the right choices. It is a part of me, but it doesn't have to define me. I used to loathe it, hate it, and never validate it in any way. All of these negative things I sort of lumped into its own version of me.. a version I hated, and wished didn't exist. I was mean to her. I hated her. I'm not sure what changed, but one day I realized, during one of my emotional spirals.. I was feeling jealousy and sadness at the same time. I can't remember what happened now, but I started talking to that negative version of me. "why are we jealous right now?" A feeling of fear and sadness combined washed over me. "So we're afraid of losing them. We don't want to be alone." And it kind of went on from there. Saying things, reassuring, and for the first time in my life, treating her with kindness, instead of telling her to stop it or just not acknowledging it at all. The moment it changed was when I said "I know at the core you just don't want to be abandoned. A lot of people have done that to us, haven't they? It is okay.. there are healthier ways to deal with this, you know. We don't have to be so bitter, scared, sad and angry. Maybe that's partly my fault, though. I've always been so mean to you.. But you've made me feel sad when I didn't stand up for myself. You made me feel angry when I had a right to be, but didn't voice it. Sometimes your actions are a little misguided, but deep down I know you've cared about me when I didn't care about myself. Thank you for that. I'm really sorry I've been so mean to you." In that moment I started crying, but not in sadness, in a way of relief I've never felt before that moment. It was rather surreal, honestly. Since then, I try to offer guidance instead of hostility. "I know you wanted them to spend time with us instead of their other friend, but we don't need to be bitter towards them. We'll be okay, they'll come back and they aren't abandoning us. And it doesn't mean they don't love us and don't want to spend time with us. Its all okay." A lot of instances like that have taken place. And sometimes she's still stubborn and doesn't always listen to reason, it isn't foolproof, but we've come a long way. I'm better than I used to be, but not as good as I am going to get. It might take baby steps to make positive changes, and sometimes we might fall backwards, but I know as long as I keep trying, it will be okay. The whole reason I am writing this is due to a huge panic attack I am having over the *possibility* of hurting my friend's feelings. I don't even know if I did.. All I know is he suddenly dipped out of call and my mind went absolutely insane with panic. I feel so silly. Trying to talk myself down and tell myself not to assume, we literally don't know anything. If you don't know, you don't know. And if you don't know, you don't know of anything to panic about. Anything I "know" are things my mind has created. Scenarios that I have no idea are true. This guy has been my dearest friend, my best friend, for 10 years. I know he isn't going anywhere, even if I did hurt his feelings. I, of course, don't wish to use him as an emotional punching bag and want to own up to my mistake and make an effort to take responsibility and apologize/explain where needed, if something like that did happen. Honestly it could be as simple as his internet dying or power going out. I legit feel silly writing it out, because the scale of panic I am dealing with is absolutely massive for how miniscule this is. I know it's probably a whole bunch of things weighing on me and this is just that one little straw that broke the panic attack camel's back.. still feels rather embarrassing. But I am choosing to validate it. If it is affecting me, then it isn't small. If it is affecting me, then it is important. I am fully aware I need to figure out how to deal with the overthinking that plagues me every day of my life.. but for right now, this is working, and healthier than it used to be. If anyone read through that mess, I know it probably means you need to focus on something because of your own struggles. Or maybe you're just interested. Maybe it is both. Whatever the reason, I genuinely hope you will be okay. Right now it might not be okay, but it will be. It will be for me, and it will be for you. Your now is not your forever. You've made it through every bad day you've ever been through so far, and I am so proud of you for that. Your feelings matter, and what you are feeling is valid. Cheers, friend. It'll be okay.
I've had very bad stress last night, and tonight is the worst stress. I was trying to go to sleep, but I kept over breathing because of all the stress. So far, I'm doing much better right now!
This video never fails me. Just coming out of another panic attack. I’m 51 being getting these for years but still think wen it starts dat I’m never gonna catch a deep breath, den I remember this video n put it on. This one was so bad I couldn’t stop vomiting r slow my heart rate down . I am safe . My face n hands still are tingling n going numb but I feel much better . Thank u 🙏 ❤🇮🇪
Currently going through anxiety attack. I feel my chest is tight and I get scared by my heart beats, thinking the worst. This video is an amazing help, if I can concentrate on the voice it helps me relax immensely. I can’t seem to sleep though, i feel myself drifting off to sleep and then I stop breathing since I am not concentrating on breathing and then my heart pounds and the cycle continues. Hope I and everyone else can get better from these attacks.
This really helped. Having racing thoughts and all I can think is “Help me”. My body and emotions feel weird and I’m on the verge of feeling nauseous. I hate being in the state that I’m in. But I’m so relieved that I’m at home, alone. I would hate for people to see me in this state. No pressure. Just need to reset my mind and adjust my perspective a bit. Great video, great voice.
having a panic attack right now, it's about 30 mins in and my heart beat is a little higher than normal and I'm a little light headed with a whole lot of anxiety and this video seems to be helping so far so thanks man, much love liked plus subbed - Alex.
my body feels numb and i get detached from it, im shaking and my heart is racing, i’m nauseous. this vid helps and all of these feelings end. just a reminder that it will be okay and all of this is normal.😊
I don't know if I have some form of anxiety or something but when I am around a lot of people, I start panicking and I can't talk to someone I don't know. And just now I had this thing were I couldn't breathe for like 5 minutes and this helped calm me down. Thank you!
I have benn having panic attacks at least once a week now for the past 6 months, I can't function normally anymore. It feels like a heart attack everytime even though I know that I have no reason to panic, I still do. This really helped me a lot and for the first time I feel like I have it under control, thank you ❤
Listening to this brought my mind back to the "now" i felt madness and anxiey screaming at me like a caged beast wanting out shift from madness to depression to realization
I currently have axienty disorder and right now i am breathless and ao far this is helping and reading the comments is making me so much better since im not alome
I love this video, you explaining how the body and mind is reacting and why, helps me realize what's happening and helps me separate myself from the panic. Thank you for this!!🍓
Thank you, I also did a breathing while listening to this and it turns out I don't have lung cancer, I just have incredible issue with breathing because of anxiety, I forgot I can feel normal, thank you
this video just saved me again. i was 10000% sure i will die and throw up and faint now, but got out of it after 10 minutes of this video. much love man!
May everyone find peace and harmony, you are safe and loved, remember your box breathing, counting, fresh air, cold sensations and noticing things around me all help to overcome being stuck in my head.
it is currently 2AM right now, and i'm trying to calm myself down. i might be in the wrong video to be talking about this but, i struggle with emetophobia and once i feel a bit of nausea or gagging i start having a panic attack which then makes me feel more nauseated. the ambient music made me feel calm
@@nayugab7094 after the panic attack i‘m always thinking "it’s a symptom to feel impending doom, like something bad will happen or like the world is ending" but when the panic attack comes on it’s like "no this time it‘s actually danger" 😭 it’s like having 2 minds. one rational mind that knows you’re fine, and one that switches when panic comed on, telling you the worst of the worst will happen. i’ve watched the video 2 times just now, and was able to get through a really really bad panic attack
Thank you so much for this. I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder, and was prescribed 10mg Valiums 3 times a day. I do not like taking them due to the understanding of how addictive and destructive they can be. I only take it when I feel like I really need it (and have not felt dissociated or de-realized for 3 days now!!) This video has saved me from taking one when I felt my anxiety starting to creep up. I can't thank you enough , seriously you are an angel. We are strong, we are safe, and we are not alone. Stay strong everybody
hey man. my name is audrey and i have severe generalized anxiety, and i drink tons of coffee to help me calm down. sometimes, it works. but my parents have been talking to me about how jittery and extremely anxious i’ve been and how it’s been getting outta hand. my parents said to try meditation. i think it’s stupid, i really just can’t find one that helps me really calm down and one that keeps me calm after watching it. i also have bad paranoia. but, this video helps me more than any one i’ve seen so far. thanks dude.
im 17 and have panic attacks almost daily and i rely on youtube videos to help me calm down, like breathing exercises, spoken affirmations, different frequencies to help panic attacks etc. but tonight is the first time i’ve stumbled across you and wow, your videos are great. helped me so much. thanks man
I get panic attacks every so often. One time I got one so bad I needed to get pulled out of my math class for 2 hours to calm down. I was trying to finish my math assignment in class but the loud noises of chairs falling, the screaming, plus I was having a hard time trying to solve the problems. And for me it was bad enough because I also had anxiety. Thankfully one of the Helper Teacher saw me stressed and pulled me out. (Since then I am able to do a test or an assignment, or an assessment if needed)
If you’re reading this, I believe in you. You are okay. You are safe. You are in control. Your body is trying to keep you safe. It’s trying to protect you. You will be okay 💜
I just had a panic attack and felt I couldn’t relax and was very panicked, my anxiety had gotten so much worse over the week and didn’t expect something so random. This helped so much so thank you and hope you have a wonderful day ❤
You are truly a blessing my friend! Thank god for your help . You are having such a great impact on all of us who are struggling with anxiety . Your voice is soothing and comforting. God bless my friend .
I come back to this video so often and it helps every time. Sometimes I listen three or four times but reading the comments always helps me feel less alone. If you’re reading this, just remember it will pass and you will be okay.
Thank you for saying that. I needed to hear it. ❤
Same goes to you. You are stronger than your battles. Always and forever.
This is so reassuring thank you
❤
glad to hear someone listens 3 or 4 times cause i always start panicking more when it doesnt work immediately
hi you lovely people, may i give you guys a tip while watching this video? (or for future anxiety attacks)! get an ice cube, freeze pack, a cold/frozen water bottle, heck even a frozen bag of peas lol! and place it right on your forehead or temples. the ice tricks the mind to think that the coldness is pain, when it really isnt. so your brain is almost like “hey brb about this anxiety shit, i gotta go deal with this pain!” 😅, and as your brain is doing that, that is when you are in a clearer and more calm state to relax and calm down. breathing exercises, music, etc has never worked for me with my panic attacks. but the ice does!! sometimes if i feel an attack starting, ill immediately grab my freeze pack (for like lunchboxes) and place it right on my forehead. then ill call a close family member and talk or watch my favorite tv show. it helps. the ice is also soothing as well. keep telling yourself “how many times have i been through an anxiety attack before? a lot. and it does indeed pass. i am strong, i am safe, and i am okay.” you’ve been reading this long already, which has probably taken you a decent amount of time, and i am proud of you for that. you are not alone. im currently writing this because i feel nauseous, and i get panic attacks when i feel like im going to throw up. but also as im writing this, its okay. worst comes to worst, what happens? i puke? itll pass. it always does. youve got this my friend.
coming back 24 hrs later from my original comment, it passed :) relatively quickly as well. i am doing okay. i hope you are too ❤️
Thank you❤
Thank you!
Same here! Started when I was young. In my 60's now.
We are not alone. ❤️
😢 thank you
I have experienced pretty severe panic attacks since leaving the military. Last night was probably the 2nd worst panic attack I've had. My body was uncontrollably shaking, hands/feet/nose were freezing cold, and my heart was beating uncontrollably.... it felt like what I can only describe as a heart attack for 2-3 hours(an eternity at the time).
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. After listening to this video 7 or 8 times, I went from being on the brink of calling emergency services.... to slowly getting the episode under control. For anyone else experiencing something similar, just know you're not alone and you will get through this.
That's how mine are. Mine wake me up from a sound sleep. Mine put me in the ER for hours. Thought I was fine and handling my stuff alright, but guess not.2nd worst feeling ever.
This is exactly how I've been since last night. I wish I could cry it out of scream, but nothing is getting rid of it. I have ptsd from a violent attack in 2016 and it's really playing on my mind at the moment. It's making me so scared and paranoid
Same here as a survivor of sex-based and relationship trauma.
Thank you. Like really thank you so much. Good bless you.

I’ve been awake for almost 5 days , crying profusely. and honestly it hasn’t crossed my mind to eat. I walk in different rooms with my animals and just sit and cry for hours at a time screaming for someone to hear my cry. I have listen to two meditations videos for over 8 years straight just to fall asleep at night & I’m blessed to have run into your video.. thank you . thank you for taking the time to make this video, it’s appreciated by millions of people & this will be moved up to the top of my meditation playlist. “my feelings are here to help/protect me, not hurt me”.
Im going through something similar. Its scary but we will survive it. *hugs*
@@bionic_bat I’m here for you 🫶🏽
My heart was pounding, my thoughts were racing and I was dizzy and nauseous! I got on my knees and prayed to God that it would stop. Then I found your video. It's helping so much, thank you and thank God. I wish it was longer.
You just helped me get through a 2 hour panic attack. I was so close to calling an ambulance. Thank you for always being here when I need this talk down.
Reading these comments have made me feel at ease that so many of us are going through this. May everyone be okay 🙏 and ride out what's going on within .
This is a reminder that you’re loved and appreciated. There are people all over the world that share the love that you do. This is not the end, but a transformation. Sending you love and gratitude. Namaste

I know you posted this like three years ago, but I have to say I am so very grateful. I suffer with severe panic disorder and it has really helped me out on more than one occasion recently.
I’m experiencing a panic attack right now and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you for this. For everyone else out there you are not alone in this. You are safe and not alone.
I was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2021. I’ve been having panic/anxiety attacks almost every day for the last 2 years. I know logically that I’m safe because I’ve had my heart analyzed with just about every test you can get. That being said, when I have a panic attack it REALLY feels like a heart attack, and it’s so hard to remind myself that I’m safe because it feels SO real. But it always ends up passing eventually, and being reminded of that fact through this video was really helpful.
This is what I have brother it’s doing me in as we speak laying on the sofa listening trying to get through it hope it gets better for you bro as well and for me
Me to I have add this for 13 years on an off maybe 7 years of straight anxiety attack an panic attack iv never felt the same either wish I could just go back to how I once was, I don't know if I'm safe
If you are concerned, schedule a check up with your physician just to make sure. You are safe@@ryancooper4618

I am so glad that it can help you sleep! That is so great to hear! Thank you for your comment.
Dude same!
Me too. I work with autistic kids and my mental health is 😢
I have bipolar and my anxiety is really bad at night ... thank you so very much.
2am panic attack. It’s hard to think when that happens, and I had a crazy idea to find something on RUclips, which brought me here. This was amazing and I can’t thank you enough. For some reason (first time) I grabbed an ice cube and kept it at the base of my head, on the back of my neck. That, and your words pulled me out. I’m so grateful.
Yes!! I also randomly found the ice trick and it almost immediately helps. Such a life saver. It didint work this time unfortunately but it’s definitely always a go too
The ice or something cold works for me too
I'm freaking put at 2 am too 😂
Ice works for me too. Spend a fortune on ice lollies to help me through panic attacks 🙃
I lost my dad in front of my eyes 3 weeks ago, fatal and sudden heart attack. I’ve been prescribed anti-anxiety medication and proceeded to have my first panic attack yesterday. I thought I was dying, begging for an ambulance to be called. - I have since been wiped out, and can feel another one brewing. This video is great. Thank you. ❤
Im so sorry for your loss, im in the same boat with panic attacks. Just remember you are never alone, we got this!❤
@@applejuice2949 - Thank you for your reply. I was in a really dark place with it all at the time of writing this. The intense panic attacks stopped, but I’m still battling the anxiety. Unfortunately I have developed a fear of having a heart attack since watching it happen to my dad, which at the age of 24 is immensely irrational. Hoping that over time the fear disappears.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m 50 and that happened to me with my dad when I was 8 years old. I share this in hopes that it will remind you that you are going to be ok. Even when you think you won’t, you are not alone and it will get better. Sending love & healing.
I hope you find the lord and saviour Jesus, the ruler of all peace and freedom. Rely on him. Trust in his peace that defies all understanding. Sorry for your loss. Stay safe.
We got this brother
Even though I probably shouldn't be saying this on the internet, someone might wanna hear it. I'm a thirteen year old boy who had been struggling with mental health since I was very young due to the many traumas I have related to cancer and tumors. And I end up getting random attacks of anxiety and panic when I get overwhelmed by silence. So this really helped me calm down tonight after I had one of my bad ones.
Hope you are feeling better ma man.

Reading all these comments is oddly comforting as I always feel so alone and lost during these terrible attacks 😞 all the love and support here is amazing and makes you realize you are not alone and you will be okay ❤ to anyone dealing with these attacks just know you are loved and definitely not alone
woke up today with crippling anxiety, could barely sleep the whole night and kept feeling the anxiety in my chest and abdomen very badly, i was so restless i looked up anxiety meditations for a desperate attempt to feel better and i didnt even think it was gonna work but it did, this video actually worked and im so shocked because no video ever has for me
Second panic attack I’ve had this week because of healthy anxiety. It’s making my life miserable. Thank you so much for helping me get through this panic attack ❤
Dude.. I am in the same boat. And I haven't had a panick attack in 2 years... but a month ago it started again. I guess oncce you feel a panic attack again it's easy to get one a lot more frequently. We got this🩷🩷🩷
Me right now
same right now, my stomach is upset and i feel so naseaous. I just want my partner to be home right now. I'm so scared.
@@moglihi8668 you’re not alone love. I felt the same exact way when I posted that comment. I laid on the floor in the bathroom until he got home. I honestly thought I would never be able to get out of this tunnel vision like depression. Through therapy, micro dosing, and from the support of my partner, things are little more easier now. I love you! You’re going to get through this too and you’re going to be okay!
Feel the same
i was having the absolute worst panic attack i’ve had in a long time. This was the only thing that helped me calm down.
I have been having horrific panic attacks every day, it’s hell on earth…this video saved my life !!
How long you suffering from this
I’m going through the same thing and it really really sucks
me too
I had anxiety attack. I was laying on my bed and couldn’t calm down. Nothing seemed to help…but this really did. You told stuff that I needed to hear and i calmed down.
You really do help.
Thanks much
This helped. I kept hitting replay for a few hours until I was able to sleep. I never had a panic attack so bad that lasted 3-4 hours. I’d feel like 15% better momentarily and then go back into racing heart, fluttery chest and stomach, faint feeling, and whole body shaking ….. it just would not stop. But this helped me eventually be able to relax. Thank God for this video and my husband helping me the whole at through. 🙏🏻
Hope you are feeling better ❤ someone else mentioned using an ice pack to divert the body to the 'pain' of that away from anxiety x
This video really saved me today! I was flying, nervous out of my mind, felt sick and out of control. I’d taken some medicine but it wasn’t quite enough to calm me down.
I listened to this on loop the entire time and closed my eyes and managed to get through it, despite all the turbulence and shaking (from me!).
The reassurances that I’m safe and my anxiety cant actually hurt me were just absolutely perfect and I felt their calming effect every time.
Despite everything I felt was “wrong” at the time, I landed fine and am now chilling in my airbnb bed feeling glad I managed to endure it.
Thank you for being a light to the community of anxious people struggling with health anxiety, agoraphobia and such things that aren’t really discussed openly.
I am so relieved to have found someone with really similar struggles to me.
I hope anyone reading this knows they are capable of so much more than their mind lets them do. ‘Beating’ your anxiety, letting it go on as something not dangerous can change your world.
I was going crazy I didn’t have anyone up to keep me calm everyone was asleep. I felt nauseous, i was hyperventilating, and having thoughts race through my mind. This helped me a little! Thank you for this video, especially because I have a big fear of throwing up which makes my panic or anxiety attack even worse. I try to keep myself cool but most of the time I can’t control myself, I know I’m not alone and neither are you, keep strong and I promise no matter what things will get better just take things easy step by step don’t be in a rush to keep yourself cool! Stay safe.
im in the same situation as YOU im so glad im not the only one dealing w this :’) this helped me too but i also hate throwing up and overthinking it makes it sm worse nd its worse while it’s happening you have no one to calm you but yourself. i always want someone to hug me .
@@xcx._0 same thing! I hope your feeling a lot more better at this moment, it will get better I promise it’s just for now trust me I got better! Whenever I watch a movie or smt I feel better when I sit down in the living room turn on the television and watch a action show! This is a safe space DONT worry🤍
I also have emetophobia, you’re not alone! ❤
@@lisawerner1359 that warms my heart! Glad it know I’m not the only one 🥰
This is so me! We're all in this together ❤
I've been feeling extremely anxious for weeks on end now. As soon as you said that the anxiety is just my body trying to protect me from a danger that is not really there, I started crying. I've been through so much that I've learnt to be overly vigilant so I needed that reminder that it is neither mine nor my body's fault that I'm struggling
Hey y’all, I come back to this video so often. I have emetophobia (excessive fear of vomit overall) and I often will wake up in the middle of the night mid panic attack, from a nightmare about vomiting
Whoever reading my comment, just wanna say it's okay if you are not okay, we will heal it together! Don't even try to give up so easily, we can go thru it❤
thank you 🥺
Crazy panic attack out of no where. EMT’s checked my vitals and said I was fine but was still feeling extremely anxious. This video is helping. The fact that you took the time to make this video is admirable. I’m thankful for people like you out there.
I had to take my anxiety meds I haven’t touched in a long while today, I haven’t felt this intense of a panic attack in so long. Pent-up emotions and sadness pass with time, but when too much happens at once it’s easy to forget there is an after to this feeling… Thank you for this
Thank you. It’s shortly after midnight, and I’m not completely calm yet, but I think this helped me have a sense of catching my breath again. Panic attacks are so scary, but this helps.
Thank you for being such a great person to make a video like this, you probably don’t realise the amount of people you are helping and even potentially saved lives.
Thank you so much
Age 13 girl, middle school. I think that’s enough said. 1:09 am. School night. Worst panic attack in my life so far. Thank you for your time reading this.
Oh no!!! Just remember they suck but they won't kill you. And here's a mental thing that helps me is that if You count 1 through 10 then you're not out of breath you're just over breathing.
Hey, you'll be alright! Sending love!
Maybe no one’s said it yet, but I’m proud of you for getting through it, panic attacks, anxiety- anything in these kind of categories can feel impossible, so take the small wins. (:
Are you any better? ❤
Reach out to an adult you trust. I wish I had done that at your age. There are people who want to help you. You don't have to do this alone.
I keep coming back to this. Sometimes I even play it while driving cause I get anxiety going to doctor appointments. I was almost anxiety fear for 5 years after medications and therapy, now I’m pregnant and my anxiety is back in full swing😞 it’s the hardest watching myself fall back to my old self. It’s hard. But I know I can fight it again, I’m gonna focus heavily on my mental health after I give birth. Thank you for making this. It truly does help me through my panic attacks. I am 33 weeks pregnant and I will continue to come back as much as I need it
How are you now? X
This helped me so much. My whole body went numb and I felt so horrible like I couldn’t breathe properly. I was shaking horribly and this helped to calm me down! Thank you!
I come back to this video every time I start to have a panic attack it’s the only thing that helps calm be down
That is great, I am so glad it can help :) Thank you!

I just had my first panic attack in over a year, and my first panic attack since I stopped disassociating, making it one of my worst ones yet. I had two consecutive panic attacks laying in my sibling’s lap and my dad came in causing it to get worse. I mean completely nonverbal, no more than a second spent each breath, curled up in a ball neatly crying. As what seemed almost like a last-ditch effort they played this. By the time I got up to go back to my room, before the video was even over, I was pretty much falling asleep.
This video saved me so
I feel much calmer, understanding how many people are going through the same thing and, most importantly, how many people manage to cope with this condition. Very scary and complicated and protracted panic attacks came back to me because I came to another country to study. Now I have to remember how to appease them. again. It is very difficult when you are far from home, but I know that I have coped with them before and I will cope now too. With the help of a psychologist.
I believe in you, the one who is also going through this difficult experience. We'll make it.
Just had a massive panic attack this morning(Sunday), not sure what bought it on this time. But did notice mania earlier in the week(Tuesday) and then felt depression. But yesterday I was fine, I went out shopping on my own. I was diaognosed with Complex PTSD a few years back from DV. This really helped @Anxiety Fitness, thank you.
i am 15 years old. i have been struggling with anxiety and sadness for a year and a half now. It reslly sucks and its the worst feeling in the world. I jooe everyone who sees this used this video in a good way and calmed down. it is 2 am right now for me and i cant fall asleep because of my thoughts, the video id helping me calm down a bit. thank you.❤️
Reach out to an adult you trust. How about the school counselor? You don't have to do this alone. There are people who want to help
It was my first time having a panic attack without my gf around. Thank you very much. Don't know what I would do without your video
So sorry for what you’re going through. Perhaps change your name from ‘nothing there’ - of course you’re much more than that! Use something positive, be careful what you manifest 🤷🏼♀️ All the best ❤️
@@skippy7208I love that comment!
I had my first panik attack last week and since my body has been under a lot of stress and my breathing was difficult listening to this has really helped and I know I can get through this 😢🙂 may everyone have peace.
I've had panic attacks the last few years I've been searching high and low for comfort, may you find peace on the trail of life 🙏
Thank you for trying to save us all and me in particular. thank you
Thank you, I have been struggling with servere panic for the past year, where I cannot calm down for hours and experience chest pains from my panic attacks. This is the only youtube video that has helped me and I cannot thank you enough!! ❤❤
I listen to this every single night on loop to fall asleep. I've been having the worst panic attacks and convince myself I'm dying and I'll be shaking on my bed. This has been the only thing that has given me any type of relief. I finally feel safe to sleep again
I cannot thank you enough for getting me through a PA this time. I was driving to the cabin in the middle of nowhere and it hit me the hardest in months. I was alone in the car, no meds with me and a horrible mix of sensations just fell onto me. I even felt my fingers go numb a little. I couldn't stop driving, it would make me feel even worse. I stopped for a second to start playing the video and kept driving. I felt much better after 5 minutes and by the end of the video I was completely fine. Made it safely to the cabin and took a nap right away! Thank you SO much
ive been listening to this almost every night since 6 months ago and this video really helps me. The voice and music eases all of my thoughts and makes me feel relaxed. If anyone reading this is struggling, I just wanna say that you're doing great and you're very strong. You've been through so much and you deserve peace and relaxation. Times when you're having a panic attack seems like the end of the world but it always ends at some point. I have extreme emetophobia and social anxiety which is a lot for me. I wanna say some of the things that had helped me through my panic attacks. First, I always try to find something to fidget with. It helps my mind get distracted. I also contact a close friend. Sometimes I dont feel comfortable telling my parents so I tell my friends that im feeling anxious and they always reassure me and distract me. Something else that has helped me is chewing on gum or ice. It helps my throat to stop feeling tight. This is all I have to say and I hope that whoever is reading this has an amazing day.❤
I’m at the gym right now and recently, about every other time that go, I get terrible anxiety out of the blue. My brain will be somewhat calm but my body(hands&legs) will slightly shake and make me uneasy. I’m still in the gym working out but I’m listening to this and the video isn’t done but it works for sure. I can feel my body start to relax and the anxiety fade away. Thank you so much!
Does exercise help? I'm scare of getting dizzy - my biggest fear
That's really good, it's actually a big step if you can manage your anxiety or panic attack and stay where you are. And not get too overwhelmed and leave good job:)
Big shout out to the person that made this video. Bro literally just helped me make it through this panic attack thank you a billion times over. I feel so much better now thank god. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anybody.
I had a nervouse breakdown last week and I'm still recovering from it. To have the reassurance that I'm safe and that panic attacks won't hurt me really helped. Everything's been so scary and stressful lately and i just want the anxiety to be over so i can relax and enjoy my life again. Im so happy im not alone in all of this

Dude I’m the same I’m on my dads RUclips this is his son aged 18 just had my first today had anxiety a long time just never had one and boy has it scared me I genuinely thought I was dying but I’m the same so glad that people are with us on it and understand how bad it can feel my mum used to get them she said just don’t think about it I know it’s harder then it sounds but take ur mind of it and ur body will relax bro
I don’t often comment on videos but I am having an extremely bad flare up of my chronic illness which is causing anxious thoughts. It is also after 2am and I am absolutely exhausted and desperate to sleep. I have found this channel helpful to give me going and accepting that where I’m at is where I’m at and I need to just wait it out as frustrating as that is. I appreciate these videos so much. Thank you.
Keep up the fight it’s all in the head you are powerful more then you know you will and can get through it I’d had really bad anxiety now it’s got better
I have suffered with an anxiety and panic disorder for over 14 years. I self medicated for many years which means that even this far down the road, I’m learning to breathe and be mindful.
I have used this video several times now at the point where I’m feeling anxious and the physical effects of an attack are starting. Zipping and zinging from my heart to my fingertips and back, then cartwheeling over my chest 😅
I find this video very effective and I love the fact that the video regularly tells you that you are safe, this has been very important to me.
This is an effective video for anyone who needs it. It is worth learning breathing techniques to use alongside as often they can help to stem the growth of panic, and control anxiety.
I like the fact that the video goes straight into soothing because I start breathing sensibly before I even put it on… and with this video I don’t need to wait through any breathing exercises.
I hope that everybody who needs to hear it realises that you are safe, we are safe, anxiety won’t kill you, but not getting help might. Love xxx

I can't express how much this has helped. Both the video and the comment section made me feel so much less alone in this time. Ever since the war I became more sensitive psychologically, and I often get overstimulated which leads to panick attacks. They usually happen during nighttime and it's so hard to deal with and hold on to reason and breathing. This helped so much, probably going to put this on repeat. Thank you immensely ❤
Recently opened up about csa at the age of 24, something I've been surprising for over 10 years. All of the raw emptions and fear have come flooding back, hearing you tell me I'm safe if the only thing that's making me feel so
Thank you so much for posting this. I am 38 yrs old and I have struggled with anxiety since I was around 15-16. I have tried many different meditations while in a panic attack and this one and another one that you posted are what I go to every time. I started feeling really anxious and layed down and started to listen to this and I’m typing this at 4:09 in because the anxiety melted away so quickly. Thank you!!!
I’ve been having consistent panic episode all day where my heart has been racing and my stomach feels terrible. This has been going on for the past few days. Today was not as constant. I was feeling it while I was in bed tn and I watched this video. It helped me so much thank you. I really hope to be able to move on from this soon. ❤️
Thank you. It‘s 2am and I‘m randomly having a full on panic attack. This really helped calming myself down
Listened to this 5 times last night and managed to stop the panic and fall asleep! THANK YOU❤
I don’t know bout anyone else, but my panic attacks can last to about 6 hours…. And those are really the shorter ones, I’ve tried plenty of videos, but breathing videos just make it worse, I can never quite get the pressure point ones. and if I look for too long I start to get anxious, but this video works crazy well for me. I hope one day I won’t have this issue, but for today, thank you so much for the relief
I wake up literally every night with anxiety/panic attacks and this video is quite helpful for me. Thank you.
I am happy it can help, I hope the panic attacks lessen for you!
watched this video so many times, helping so much you don’t even understand i come back here a lot
I am okay, and I am completely safe. Let your body know it's okay to relax, and Pause protection. Please pray for me and let me know how you all are doing, and how you're coping.
Going to share a few stories because having something to write helps me calm down, and I know for some people, having something to read helps them calm down. It does for me.
Nobody has to read this of course.. Tbh I am rambling to help myself calm down. Helps my mind focus instead of going 673920 directions all at once.
A long while back I discovered talking myself down from panic. My mom was rather.. well.. abusive, in some cases. I don't wake up easily, and I'm not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. The night has always been my friend. It is calm, peaceful and when I feel my best. But my mom made me feel like garbage if I slept past 10 and would scream at me if I slept past what she deemed was too late, and would make comments about it throughout the day sometimes.
Apparently I do this thing where I can talk to people while still being mostly asleep.. so when she would ask if I am awake, I'd respond, but not be fully conscious of it. When she'd come back in my room and find me "back to bed", she'd scream at me. Some days I'd start my day by jolting out of bed in fear, not knowing why I am being screamed at, and then crying it out in the bathroom and trying to calm down.
She passed away three years ago, but waking up is still weirdly scary sometimes. A couple years ago a cat knocked something over and it fell against my door, and the sound it made was similar to it being wrenched open with force. It was enough to jolt me out of bed and cause a massive panic attack. I couldn't believe how I went from sleeping, to crying and having trouble breathing in literal seconds. After a few minutes I started talking to myself and kind of imagined a scared, smaller, younger version of myself to talk to.
"Hey kiddo. I know you're really scared right now and that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that. I know you're trying to protect us, and you're bracing us for the worst, helping us try to survive the day. And I appreciate you trying to keep us safe, but I need you to know things are different now. We don't have to be scared to wake up anymore. I know you're trying your best and you're just protecting us, but it is all okay. We can relax."
I couldn't believe how much it helped me.
A few months after this, I talked to her again. To myself. But a different part of me.. Sometimes I'll dismiss my feelings a lot for the sake of keeping the peace, for the sake of making people happy, etc. Sometimes I'd feel internally angry, upset, jealous, scared, or a mix of everything, and I used to get angry at those feelings, especially of jealousy. Now, my jealousy isn't a cute little quirk. It can get downright psychotic. It is severe. I am aware of it and make as many efforts as possible to control it and make the right choices. It is a part of me, but it doesn't have to define me. I used to loathe it, hate it, and never validate it in any way. All of these negative things I sort of lumped into its own version of me.. a version I hated, and wished didn't exist. I was mean to her. I hated her.
I'm not sure what changed, but one day I realized, during one of my emotional spirals.. I was feeling jealousy and sadness at the same time. I can't remember what happened now, but I started talking to that negative version of me. "why are we jealous right now?"
A feeling of fear and sadness combined washed over me. "So we're afraid of losing them. We don't want to be alone."
And it kind of went on from there. Saying things, reassuring, and for the first time in my life, treating her with kindness, instead of telling her to stop it or just not acknowledging it at all. The moment it changed was when I said "I know at the core you just don't want to be abandoned. A lot of people have done that to us, haven't they? It is okay.. there are healthier ways to deal with this, you know. We don't have to be so bitter, scared, sad and angry. Maybe that's partly my fault, though. I've always been so mean to you.. But you've made me feel sad when I didn't stand up for myself. You made me feel angry when I had a right to be, but didn't voice it. Sometimes your actions are a little misguided, but deep down I know you've cared about me when I didn't care about myself. Thank you for that. I'm really sorry I've been so mean to you."
In that moment I started crying, but not in sadness, in a way of relief I've never felt before that moment. It was rather surreal, honestly.
Since then, I try to offer guidance instead of hostility. "I know you wanted them to spend time with us instead of their other friend, but we don't need to be bitter towards them. We'll be okay, they'll come back and they aren't abandoning us. And it doesn't mean they don't love us and don't want to spend time with us. Its all okay."
A lot of instances like that have taken place. And sometimes she's still stubborn and doesn't always listen to reason, it isn't foolproof, but we've come a long way.
I'm better than I used to be, but not as good as I am going to get.
It might take baby steps to make positive changes, and sometimes we might fall backwards, but I know as long as I keep trying, it will be okay.
The whole reason I am writing this is due to a huge panic attack I am having over the *possibility* of hurting my friend's feelings. I don't even know if I did.. All I know is he suddenly dipped out of call and my mind went absolutely insane with panic. I feel so silly.
Trying to talk myself down and tell myself not to assume, we literally don't know anything. If you don't know, you don't know. And if you don't know, you don't know of anything to panic about. Anything I "know" are things my mind has created. Scenarios that I have no idea are true. This guy has been my dearest friend, my best friend, for 10 years. I know he isn't going anywhere, even if I did hurt his feelings. I, of course, don't wish to use him as an emotional punching bag and want to own up to my mistake and make an effort to take responsibility and apologize/explain where needed, if something like that did happen. Honestly it could be as simple as his internet dying or power going out.
I legit feel silly writing it out, because the scale of panic I am dealing with is absolutely massive for how miniscule this is. I know it's probably a whole bunch of things weighing on me and this is just that one little straw that broke the panic attack camel's back.. still feels rather embarrassing.
But I am choosing to validate it. If it is affecting me, then it isn't small. If it is affecting me, then it is important.
I am fully aware I need to figure out how to deal with the overthinking that plagues me every day of my life.. but for right now, this is working, and healthier than it used to be.
If anyone read through that mess, I know it probably means you need to focus on something because of your own struggles. Or maybe you're just interested. Maybe it is both. Whatever the reason, I genuinely hope you will be okay. Right now it might not be okay, but it will be. It will be for me, and it will be for you. Your now is not your forever.
You've made it through every bad day you've ever been through so far, and I am so proud of you for that.
Your feelings matter, and what you are feeling is valid.
Cheers, friend. It'll be okay.
Sending hugs to you ❤
Thanks for this comment my dear
I've had very bad stress last night, and tonight is the worst stress.
I was trying to go to sleep, but I kept over breathing because of all the stress. So far, I'm doing much better right now!
This video never fails me. Just coming out of another panic attack. I’m 51 being getting these for years but still think wen it starts dat I’m never gonna catch a deep breath, den I remember this video n put it on. This one was so bad I couldn’t stop vomiting r slow my heart rate down . I am safe . My face n hands still are tingling n going numb but I feel much better . Thank u 🙏 ❤🇮🇪
This is my “go to” for my night panics. I have it saved on a loop. Thank you SO MUCH for this.
Currently going through anxiety attack. I feel my chest is tight and I get scared by my heart beats, thinking the worst. This video is an amazing help, if I can concentrate on the voice it helps me relax immensely. I can’t seem to sleep though, i feel myself drifting off to sleep and then I stop breathing since I am not concentrating on breathing and then my heart pounds and the cycle continues. Hope I and everyone else can get better from these attacks.
This really helped. Having racing thoughts and all I can think is “Help me”. My body and emotions feel weird and I’m on the verge of feeling nauseous. I hate being in the state that I’m in. But I’m so relieved that I’m at home, alone. I would hate for people to see me in this state. No pressure. Just need to reset my mind and adjust my perspective a bit.
Great video, great voice.
Thank you so much ❤ after a 3 hour panic attack this kept my mind off of the panic and put me to sleep last night
That is so great to hear that it could help and put you to sleep! I'm sorry you had to deal with the panic attack :(
having a panic attack right now, it's about 30 mins in and my heart beat is a little higher than normal and I'm a little light headed with a whole lot of anxiety and this video seems to be helping so far so thanks man, much love liked plus subbed - Alex.
my body feels numb and i get detached from it, im shaking and my heart is racing, i’m nauseous. this vid helps and all of these feelings end. just a reminder that it will be okay and all of this is normal.😊
I don't know if I have some form of anxiety or something but when I am around a lot of people, I start panicking and I can't talk to someone I don't know. And just now I had this thing were I couldn't breathe for like 5 minutes and this helped calm me down. Thank you!
I have benn having panic attacks at least once a week now for the past 6 months, I can't function normally anymore. It feels like a heart attack everytime even though I know that I have no reason to panic, I still do. This really helped me a lot and for the first time I feel like I have it under control, thank you ❤
Listening to this brought my mind back to the "now" i felt madness and anxiey screaming at me like a caged beast wanting out shift from madness to depression to realization
I found this meditation 20 minutes ago when a panic attack was starting. It worked!! Thank you so much 😊
That's amazing, thank you!
I think this is the first panic attack walk through that has actually worked for me. Thank you
This comment section is so comforting. I feel so safe here ❤️ Thank you
I currently have axienty disorder and right now i am breathless and ao far this is helping and reading the comments is making me so much better since im not alome
I am having a panic attack now. Thank you for this❤
I love this video, you explaining how the body and mind is reacting and why, helps me realize what's happening and helps me separate myself from the panic. Thank you for this!!🍓
Thank you, I also did a breathing while listening to this and it turns out I don't have lung cancer, I just have incredible issue with breathing because of anxiety, I forgot I can feel normal, thank you
Had my first panicked attack at work, it’s two days now this helped last night and almost helped again
this video just saved me again. i was 10000% sure i will die and throw up and faint now, but got out of it after 10 minutes of this video. much love man!
May everyone find peace and harmony, you are safe and loved, remember your box breathing, counting, fresh air, cold sensations and noticing things around me all help to overcome being stuck in my head.
it is currently 2AM right now, and i'm trying to calm myself down. i might be in the wrong video to be talking about this but, i struggle with emetophobia and once i feel a bit of nausea or gagging i start having a panic attack which then makes me feel more nauseated. the ambient music made me feel calm
This is me 100% - I listened 5 times last night and finally felt better
same here. this helped me go from "its happening there’s nothing i can do the world is ending" to "i’m trippin, im fine"
@@prodtriazo im relieved its not just me struggling with it. it also takes me a while to realize that im just freaking out 😭😭
@@anna_banana4100 emetophobia sucksss
@@nayugab7094 after the panic attack i‘m always thinking "it’s a symptom to feel impending doom, like something bad will happen or like the world is ending" but when the panic attack comes on it’s like "no this time it‘s actually danger" 😭 it’s like having 2 minds. one rational mind that knows you’re fine, and one that switches when panic comed on, telling you the worst of the worst will happen. i’ve watched the video 2 times just now, and was able to get through a really really bad panic attack
This video helped me more than I thought I would to be honest
I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety and adhd for a long time and it is a rough combo
Thank you so much for this. I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder, and was prescribed 10mg Valiums 3 times a day. I do not like taking them due to the understanding of how addictive and destructive they can be. I only take it when I feel like I really need it (and have not felt dissociated or de-realized for 3 days now!!) This video has saved me from taking one when I felt my anxiety starting to creep up. I can't thank you enough , seriously you are an angel. We are strong, we are safe, and we are not alone. Stay strong everybody
I’m 10 and have anxiety attacks and this really helps calm me down. Thanks
Thank you so much for this, it's my birthday today and I was on the verge of a serious panic attack. Thank you for talking me down
Really I don’t know how to appreciate u really u helped with ur voice hats off to u may Allah bless u❤
hey man. my name is audrey and i have severe generalized anxiety, and i drink tons of coffee to help me calm down. sometimes, it works. but my parents have been talking to me about how jittery and extremely anxious i’ve been and how it’s been getting outta hand. my parents said to try meditation. i think it’s stupid, i really just can’t find one that helps me really calm down and one that keeps me calm after watching it. i also have bad paranoia. but, this video helps me more than any one i’ve seen so far. thanks dude.
Same I have issues with paranoia, meditation isn't stupid you might just need to find the right one for you:)
im 17 and have panic attacks almost daily and i rely on youtube videos to help me calm down, like breathing exercises, spoken affirmations, different frequencies to help panic attacks etc. but tonight is the first time i’ve stumbled across you and wow, your videos are great. helped me so much. thanks man
Reach out to an adult you trust. Someone at school? You don't have to be alone. People want to help
Panic Attacks are brutal may Allah make it easy for all of us.Ameen
I get panic attacks every so often. One time I got one so bad I needed to get pulled out of my math class for 2 hours to calm down.
I was trying to finish my math assignment in class but the loud noises of chairs falling, the screaming, plus I was having a hard time trying to solve the problems. And for me it was bad enough because I also had anxiety. Thankfully one of the Helper Teacher saw me stressed and pulled me out. (Since then I am able to do a test or an assignment, or an assessment if needed)
Some of us with adhd or Misophonia get very overwhelmed with noise x
This video ALWAYS works for me!!!
Good to hear, Larry!!!
If you’re reading this, I believe in you. You are okay. You are safe. You are in control. Your body is trying to keep you safe. It’s trying to protect you. You will be okay 💜
I just had a panic attack and felt I couldn’t relax and was very panicked, my anxiety had gotten so much worse over the week and didn’t expect something so random. This helped so much so thank you and hope you have a wonderful day ❤
You are truly a blessing my friend! Thank god for your help . You are having such a great impact on all of us who are struggling with anxiety . Your voice is soothing and comforting. God bless my friend .
Sitting in my car dealing with a lot of anxiety and feelings of despair. Glad to have this video.
Hugs
