" it's just a panic attack " and " it's all in your head" is the words that make me sick
Ive heard this too, and its never "just a panic attack"... especially when it puts you in the hospital.
@@zulianakeckley1056 My sister commited suicide. She hang herself. And in that moment, for everyone else, it was not in her head. At least, not anymore. Panic attacks and deppresion, so she started using drugs, and I by drugs I mean heroin and cocaine. Her reality was killing her inside, so when she used drugs, it made her forget her hell of life. She became addict. Her parents did not understand. Her friends didn't hear her calling for help. She just needed compasion, someone who's willing to feel her pain and tell her that it's not in her head, that is real, and that she can fight it. She took her life at 21 years old. Now everyone understands.
@@zulianakeckley1056 And stay strong girl. ♡ wish you all the luck in the world ♡
Of course it's all in your head. That's the problem. That's what makes it so bad. A topical medication doesn't work
anyone who's had a panic attack knows it's def present in the body too. it factually is not all in our heads
I see Andrea, I click. ❤ Public panic attacks are so much worse than regular attacks.
Yes, panic found you at all those places, but you’re absolutely right that it’s an absolute testament to your strength and bravery having gone to any of those places in the first place. Disneyland?! Airplanes?! Coffee shops, grocery stores, parties, dates?! You don’t let the likelihood of anxiety or panic keep you from experiencing your life. That makes you so admirable, and a total badass ❤️
The first time i had a panic attack i was 15, it changed how my life would be forever. Its not just i simple scare. Its the grimm reaper standing in your room and when you dare to ask where we are going, he just replies, "i have no idea."
I love the end when she’s like “I didn’t panic”
That made me happy
same. btw they use they/them pronouns :)
LET'S HYPERVENTILATE LIKE IT'S 1999
took the words outta my mouth. wow.
I've been reading on PTSD depression flashbacks and I reach here through TED talk
intro...
reading for it for hours but this single piece was more effective than entire reading.
I clicked before I read the title because Andrea. When I saw the title I thought cool, I love this one...but this new updated version? Omigawd, I finally felt a little peace tonight. Depression's my constant, I'm over the embarrassment. But this last year panic attacks, increasingly public & intense, have become a thing. For a person who's always been about control, the loss is devastating, humiliating & terrifying. This made me feel like I can breath a little. 💜
Me! Ms. Gibson thank you for articulating how I feel. I feel sad that you suffer with panic attacks.
I was not expecting this to make me cry
Andrea has been known to have that effect. We should probably make a sign...
"Danger, unexpected feelings ahead"
Thanks Alexis!
It's 11pm right now and this could be the 20th time I have heard this but I really needed this tonight
Andrea's work always amazes me and this is no exception.
Serious topic, mind blowing poem.
All my panics attacs are outside, people usually dont notice until i say someting, then it is "you look really pallid, do you have a heart condition? need sugar? diabetes?", and i am like "no, dude this just hapen sometimes, i am okay" (i am not okay, is kinda hard to get home or where i was going in that condition but i manage)
💜
Johanna Bermudez 💞💞I'm there now, but I just want to remind you that you are doing great. Remember that being not okay is just as valid as being ok. You've got this. I believe in you, even if you may not believe in yourself at times.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
This time it was this Andrea that brought me into tears, I relate so much. Thank you.
I love this poem so much. It's interesting seeing the contrast in tone between this performance and the recorded version from the album. I feel that this seems more sincere and serious, whereas the version from Hey Galaxy with accompaniment feels relatively lighthearted and comedic.
I couldn't possibly put into words how much this means, I started crying at the part about depression starting to be accepted but anxiety continuing to be viewed as a weakness. Just a few days ago I attended a friends birthday dinner, it was only a few extra people but they starting asking me questions and my chest got so tight and I knew I was in trouble. I couldn't control it and sat there as I cried and had to calm myself down. I felt so weak and embarrassed because I couldn't even take a few questions. I love my friend, but we're so painfully different, she doesn't know what its like and while I would never wish anything that I face upon her it can be frustrating when she and others think telling me to calm down and exaggeratedly breathing will help. I know how to breathe, sometimes I just can't.
your comment is really an eye opener for me who's a person who's trying to understand what panic attacks are
as one of my friend goes through them frequently.
thank you so much for writing your comment.
I’ve been trying and failing to engage my brain in uni work all day and yet from the second Andrea opened her mouth I was completely captivated in what was an incredibly intelligent and powerful piece 🙌🏼
Andrea, my favorite spoken word poet. ❤️ I relate to this poem deeply.
This is so deep. Hit me right in the heart. You're a genius.
This hit me so much been struggling with this so much recently love her
Love this. Rings so true
This almost made me cry with how true it is
im speechless
Absolutely amazing!!
"I am never ok".. this is me, right here. I hate when people ask (if IM ok) because I either lie and move on or I tell the truth and its uncomfortable for everyone. SO I just avoid being in public as much as possible.
This made me cry so hard
This was so beautiful 🧡
She’s so amazing
So well done
The loml ❤️ I have loved Andrea’s work for years, always amazes me how clear and relatable the message is.
This is my new favourite poem
I want to like this more than once
She's my favorite poet
Amazing.
This is the best thing i've ever seen
holy SHIT i love her
Its deep, its lovely
I love you!
Part of me wishes people would just mind there own business when I’m having an anxiety attack
God I needed to hear this
Wow
My 18th is the start of next year. I don't want to have one. But this also my last year of highschool so it's weirdly timed. And I don't think I'm going to have a birthday party because all of my birthday's have been somewhat terrible.
I haven't had a party since 14 and I don't know if I want one again.
Anyway I just needed to out that somewhere in the universe
Damn!
“the cage of self hate”
...oh.
It’s always Doomsday.
Can someone please sub it?
