yes, me and its an absolute horrbile thing, one of the worst, epscially when your in a car alone with a person who hasnt a clue why your acting so weird
@@khalidahmad1370 Same for me, I used to be an avid pot smoker, smokeed it for about 3 or 4 years every day. I cant now as it gives me panic attacks. Though now that i havent in a long while, life seems to be much better!
To anyone struggling with this terrible affliction: IT WILL GET BETTER! I had terrible panic attacks, almost daily, I couldn't function, get out of the house, it took my life away from me. It lasted for two terrible years. Finally I visited a doctor, got my benzos and anti depressants, and took them for almost a year.I've been off of my meds for almost two years now and not a single panic attack. I feel normal again. Have faith people, I know how terrible it can get but it will stop!
I have panic attacks and the only medication out there to treat this is klonpin that's what i'm on and it's like i got my life back. I also have argprphobia . It's spelt wrong but i'm sure you can figure it out. I couldn't go into stores to shop for the things i need and grocery for food.. i had a hard time getting treated for this and all it did was make everything worse because i went so long without being on the right medication that's for panic attacks and finally i found a doctor that helped me. All of these symtoms should have never got that bad where i couldn't even go into a grocery store and my shopping but instead my rx boyfriend had to do all the shopping. By the grace of God i finally got the right treatment and i could finally get my life back and be a normal person. Aniexty to the point where it's affecting my life and Health but since i got back on klonpin that's helping with it. Everything that i'm going though is all the doctors fault because they let me suffer for 11 months with extreme aniexty and all the other stuff on top of that. I almost had to suffer the rest of my life without being treated for what i was going though on a daily basis and it's not fun at all but the doctors don't have to suffer and find out that it's such a horrible feeling that you are limited on places to go because of my panic attacks and aniexty go wild and to the extreme aniexty it was. I am thankful that i finally am getting the right medication and help that i need. God was watching over me and he is the one who put the idea in the doctors head that im a severe case from not being treated for about 25 years maybe longer.
Laura Lara, thank you for the encouragement. I’m a 13 year old girl and I had a Panic Attack yesterday. My first attack to be exact. In the past I struggled with depression and suicide but got a therapist and I worked it out. I thought my horrible struggles were over until I came across knowing that I have panic disorder. I’m just scared it will happen again and I know you know how I feel. Thank you for the encouragement, thank you so much, God bless❤️.
I really thought I was the only one having these panic attacks. Everytime I went to the ER or the doctor they would say I have nothing and I just need to relax so I was very frustrated and people around me couldn't understand me at all. Now that I see that im not alone it feels less horrible and lonely. My last panic attack was a few months ago and it started 3 years ago. Today, studying about it and reading other people's experiences makes me understand just how "normal" and not so "horrible" and "uncontrollable" this is. A small prayer: I wish we all get over it once for all and find peace.
I was having chest pain for a year and had no clue what was happening. I had two ekg’s and some other monitor but the doctors said my heart is healthy. Once covid hit and I stopped going to work and school my panic attacks were infrequent. I haven’t had the chest pain anymore. It’s scary over panic attacks can harm you physically but doctors don’t look into it as much.
It was the opposite for me. I thought every one had it, that I am just nervous and anxious, and that's pretty normal, that I was just overreacting to the triggers. But no, at a point it happened on a daily basis and there was nothing normal in having it out of nowhere when I'm alone by myself, that's when I realised it's something only I have. Looking further I realised I have hyperhydrosis and it is directly related to my attacks, so shit sucks, and I still have it few times a week. Ironically, now it is 'normal' to me.
Whenever i have a panic attack, like now, i have a tight chest, racing heart, closing throat, nausea, vomiting, cold hands, sweating, etc. Just so you guys know, you aren’t alone. We are all in this together. ❤️
i have it to man it,s horrible but just so u now you will not die its just your mind so stay calm be with your pets ect or maybe go for a jog & then a calm shower. And it will get figured out ;)
I feel like I am drowning while everyone else is normally walking..And the more I think it gets worse..As I hear my heartbeat I get scared and everything gets worse..
I have been there, it's very hard to control or distract ourselves... But believe it or not, our brain is like a recorder, it listens to what we speak out, even though it feels like impossiblele or nothing happens at first, it does! try and see, say it to yourself that "I am in control of myself, nothing can control me" try to repeat this often (breath in thru nose slowly and breath out through your mouth) while you are breathing in and out, you try to believe that you are taking in positivity/happiness and breathing out the negativity/sadness, it will help... Try to use essential oils to relax your mind, try to relax at a quiet place or with relaxing music.. I hope this can help someone who needs help. I will pray for u!
I just got diagnosed with this recently. Anyone in the early stages, it gets better. You start to learn how to identify beginning signs of a panic attack, how to ground yourself, and how prevent them (self care, etc). You’ve got this!
I’ve been medically diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and Panic Disorder for nearly 6 years. I had a bad attack period of a week of near constant intense attacks that lead to unhealthy weight loss, strong mental fog, and gaining a new trigger. I started seeing a counselor last year shortly after that awful week and I’ve improved greatly and learned how to deal with a bad attack.
just had my biggest panic attack ever, i had extreme chills, nausea, shivering... im surprised on what my brain is capable of. If you have panic attacks just remember that youre not alone, were all in this together- remember its treatable and its not permanent so your life will be normal!
Oh gosh same i woke up just today i feel like my whole body is shaking,my chest feels tight,my heartbeat is fast and i cant even breathe properly. My breathing feels like i got nervous of something
Same for me. I feel like I have to do something to even take my mind off of it, but I can't concentrate when I do. I feel so irritated and fidgety that I literally can't do anything. For me, my panic attacks come in waves (hourly and everyday even for a week or 2 possibly more). I can go and have consistent panic attacks for 1/2 weeks maybe a month straight of not feeling myself and worrying. Then it stops and then comes back whenever it feels like it.
Yes I do this too. I feel like I have lost my mind and feel like I need to move around to feel 'normal'. I feel like I am dying and have gone insane and will never recover from it. It's honestly terrifying how powerful the human mind is and that it's possible to experience such things from no specific trigger.
This is literally me last night. I stayed up all night due to a panick attack. I started hallucination things and thinking about life existence. I had a pretty good childhood but suddenly now days I am afraid to sleep because I don't want question about life existence again when I go to sleep. It's terrifying!
I thought I was the only one. Ill never forget my first panic attack. Happened yesterday. 5/8/20 Felt like I was declining, trembling, tremendous fear and anxiety. While seeing everyone else be totally normal.
Gabby Vasquez not alone at all with this! there are so many who sufferer from this.... let's all take change it and help each other in the right way to get better .
You are not alone, we just have to keep telling ourselves that we are not gonna die, cause that exactly what it feels like it takes time it took months for me to finally accept that it was just anxiety we can overcome this even though it seems impossible.
Just remember that you are not alone and that you are stronger than panic/anxiety attacks. Sometimes its all in our head. We like to overthink. We are gonna be okay.
I hyperventilate, choking sensations, I can’t respond, nearly passing out, heart palpitations, dizzyness, sweats, dissociation, tunnel vision, trembling and more. It’s so hard to explain this to people who haven’t experienced it before. It’s hard to imagine if it hasn’t been experienced. This video will help me explain how it feels to others 🥰
yea man, i was at the gym and felt some sort of worry that rushed me into the lockers, i felt as if the world was going to end for me, my vision was blurry like i was losing consciousness from breathing heavy , and i felt my body feel weaker as i was trying to control myself, it felt as if i was on auto pilot trying to hold my character up, so i went to the mirror to watch myself breathe and it was still affecting me, i had to drink water and listen to myself say i’d be okay, after i got some air outside i felt some feeling to cry out of shaking fear
Guys, I've been there. For so long. 4 years ago I was having several panic attacks a day, and the state that I was in back then lasted allmost a full year. The next year was rough, I've had my share of P.A. aswell, but not that often. Only a dozen per month. It was after that year, two years after I was diagnozed with general anxiety disorder, that I finally gathered all of my courage and went to seek help. After a full year of therapy (didn't want to take any meds) and half a year of my own way of battling it, I'm proud to tell you I haven't had a panic attack for a bit longer than a year. I'm not all good, but I am doing IMMEASURABLY better than before. Gather the strength in you, accept the condition you're in at given moment, seek help, there is ABSOLUTELY no shame in that, and confront that tricky mind of yours HEAD ON. Be strong, BE PATIENT with yourself. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time. Allow yourslef to feel low, BUT NEVER give up. I PROMISE YOU, you will overcome. Just as I did. To everyone reading this - You are capable of everythig, however you might feel and whatever you might think! You WILL overcome.
I had my first attack on March 13th, 2015. Watching videos currently because I was just blindsided by one laying on the couch. Was laying there watching TV, and then the room spun, my breathing stopped for a second, and I had to jump up to not die. Of course, I naturally thought it was my heart stopping since I take Beta Blockers for SVT, but I was able to realize it was an attack. To anyone watching this to learn about the disorder for a friend or loved one, I hope you understand how debilitating this disorder really is. There are a lot of people out there who laugh at it and just tell us to calm down and stop worrying. If you're curious to how it really feels, imagine that time to were walking down stairs and missed a step. That feeling that lasted half a second. Double the intensity and make it last 10mins to 2 hrs. That is a panic attack.
I still remember the first time I actually had a panic attack, and it was really unpredictable. I was in a seminar or something in a field trip and we were talking about solar panels. Suddenly, I felt like I wanted to break out of my body. I couldn't breathe and it actually felt like hell. It lasted for until the seminar was halfway done and I never forgot it to this day.
Once had a severe panic attack in class and had to walk out mid lesson, was in the medical room pacing around because I felt like if I stopped moving, it was lights out for me. It's like my body wanted to shut down & I couldn't control it
I also remembered , mine was during a camping in our school. it was a huge camping event so lots of people gather at our school. It was few mins before we have our march competition, and it was really hot that day. I suddenly felt a short of breathness and it feel like i can hear my own heart beating. During that time, i have no idea of mental illness and panic disorder, so I thought i was having heart attack and thought i was dying or going to faint. That thought really scared me and i also dont know what to do at that time. Because of that, I said to our commander that i cant join the competition because i feel sick at the very last mins. This brought anger and misunderstanding between me and my teammates because after they were done, i was feeling okay (not feel panic anymore) and not sick at all. I was also suprise my ownself, i dont know what was happening with my body. after that, i experienced it more often.
Me is heart attack. I freaking always feel like I am going to just fall dead on the spot. It always starts with some weird body sensation and off we go to the races, chest pain, pain down my left arm, pain in my jam freaking real pain. So imagine if your mind can make you physically sick then it can do the opposite such as heal you.
@Skye With an E reading all this comment right now is more like a Therapy to me. I feel like through y'all Voices and comments I'm literally healed already. Thank you all for sharing
Omg same here, whenever I feel like I am having an attack I come to RUclips to read the comments and remind myself that it's not something dangerous like an incurable disease cuz my mind always ends up thinking the worst if I don't do that worst thing my mind always goes back to cancer and I feel so scared sometimes therefore comments are like free therapy
is so horrible having this problem, I've been suffering this problem for over 10 years it's hard to control it sometimes it's uncontrollable, you feel your going to die :( I was a very social person but this illness has effected my personal life.
Aldo Martinez i'm suffer with prob from last 2month...i hv no idea how to remove this...its kinda lyk i'm going die ryt now...Fear of die + panic attack = Horrible Experice what i'm going through each nd everyday...unble to enjoy my life..
I have been dealing with it since I was 4, I remember having one when I was just sitting on the floor in front of the TV watching Steve Irwin on animal planet. Nothing happened that could have caused it, so I just decided to pretend that it didn't happen and I didn't tell anyone. I only had carpet burns that time, but sometimes they're so severe that I pass out for a few seconds or even throw up... I don't want to be reliant on pills or therapy my whole life, so I've started looking at service dogs.
Same! I have panic attacks everyday. I couldn't remember how many times I've thought I'm gonna die or I have a heart disease and I'm gonna have a heart attack. There are too many negative thoughts running on my mind to the point where I'm sick of it. I'm so fed up with my anxiety and panic attacks. Fuck these panic attacks, I know I'm strong and I'll get through with it.
Does anyone else feel really weird and floppy after a panic attack, my friends say I act high during the immediate aftermath and I come up with really weird ideas. I have never been high so idk.
I have a panic disorder and an anxiety disorder it’s not fun and well I wish everyone with mental illness and just like me I’m here for you I love you and together we can stay strong
Was diagnosed with panic disorder at the age of 21. Got things under control around 24. Went 16 years without a panic attack...starting in April, my panic attacks have returned. I forgot how difficult and exhausting panic disorders are. I also forgot how awful the dizziness and lightheadedness are. Here's to hoping I can figure it out again.
Just got back from the ER, which was my third visit in the past 3 months. I’ve gone to numerous specialists and endured countless tests/treatment only to be told this morning that I’ve been having panic attacks. Didn’t believe it at first because the physical symptoms were so aggressive and sudden that I was sure that I was having a heart attack or something related. I’ve spent thousands of dollars and had to quit my job for this unknown condition that took control of my life. Hopefully, I can start taking back the control. Thanks for this video, very informative.
I get symptoms very similar to heart attacks I’ve done 3 ekg tests and they’ve all come back normal I’m only 18 so the chances of me having a heart attack are very low but sometimes the pain in my chest and sometimes neck makes it seem like I’m having a heart attack even though I know I’m not having a heart attack I think to myself “omg this is it”
@@ElSleepy yes been 3 months been dealing with this panic disorder as I’m writing this todays symptoms have been severe chest pain thinking I’m having a heart attack
God I'm having this right now, and it's been already more than a month, I was just chilling and boom I "couldn't" breath well and I felt so cold. And I feel like I'm about to die.. I can't stop crying I really hope I can recover...
Yes im 56 and remember having my first one at 20 literally thought i was suffocating thought it was an asthma attack kept doing my inhaler still could not breathe sweating so much than chills the room was spinning till this day i get them and worse as i get older was able to relieve symptoms from alot of running many many miles barely could walk today now i have to depend on medication totally making me miserable
i’m just now recovering from one, i have them every night so i watch these videos to further convince myself i’m not dying. it’s very hard not to think about serious things like when thsi one started i was freaking out and i looked up symptoms of heart attacks and tss which further stresses me out😭 this is by far my worst one my chest is still hurting
Honestly, for the past 4 days even until now, constantly, I feel so anxious to the point where I keep pacing around, feel like I can't get a satisfying deep breath, my breathing is so shallow and I'm conscious of it, I chew my tongue too, and my mind feels so distorted and I can't remember how I was before I felt like this. Even when I go out it doesn't help me, and I keep overthinking scary scenarios in which I lose control, but I really don't want too. Even when I lie in a comfortable position, I can't yawn or breath in a relaxed manner. I feel so energetic then I feel lazy, I tremble during the day, but mostly at night. So whoever is reading this, you're not alone. If it wasn't for the quarantine, none of this crap would've been happening. When you get your daily routine disrupted, especially for months at a time, it makes everything difficult because you're constantly going to see people wearing masks, gloves and using sanitizers with those "stand 2 meters apart" sign. That is what gives us more anxiety because a pandemic like this never happened in history before, and we're not used to staying at home bored doing nothing, which leaves us stuck in our thoughts and being an overthinker.
This hits too close to home. I was always the top student at my class and once my anxiety got worse I failed my classes and became the biggest disappointment for my teachers and family 😔✌️. I wish you well 🥺
I teach psychology at university and I'm gonna use these materials on the class and ask students to translate and explain them in Persian! Thanks a million for creating them and I look forward to see more :)
There's lots of us out here! I'm so glad people talk about their mental health these days. When I first developed panic disorder in the early 2000s, it felt like a dirty secret I had to keep. It's literally only in the last five years or so that this has begun to change.
I'm taking medications now after being diagnosed with panic attack and sever depression. After several attacks I learned how to control my mind to just accept the sensation, let it flow, and drop my resistance. To those who are having this, find a silent place, close your eyes and don't resist. Keep in your mind that it's just a panic attack you're having And nothing bad is going to happen. YOU'RE NOT DYING. Just let the sensation flow, feel it, let your body get used to it. Better if you're lying on your back and try to relax all your muscles. It will peak but eventually the feeling will subside. Prayers and having someone to talk to about what you're feeling is better.
Numbness and tingling all over and nausea are my symptoms,also feeling like I need to burp but can't so I end up yawning literally constantly,I also can't feel my arms sometimes ,they literally get so numb ,it's scary
Same exact things happen to me !! I have the feeling like I have to burp thing too ! My arms go completely numb. Body is so heavy it constantly feels like I'm trying to walk through water . I'm so tired of this .
i use to have it but now i can manage it n the good part it i dont have to use any antidepressants. remember our mind is a story making machine. you are who u think u are today, tomorrow n so forth. so stop wasting ur time thinking crap things n frm now on stay positive about urself
I had 2 today. And they were separated by an hour. I was breathing but I felt like I wasn’t so it felt like I wasn’t taking in any air. I was crying my eyes out and I was sweating and my whole body was trembling. My eyes turned red and I was a mess. It happened so unexpectedly. Like I was eating and watching a RUclips video and I just stopped breathing. The second one happened like 10 minutes ago. I just stopped cleaning my room and just started hyperventilating. I couldn’t breathe and I was crying and no one was around because both my parents were out working. My mom called while I was breathing heavy and on the verge of crying and I was trying to hold it all in to make it seem like nothing was wrong but I couldn’t. I just started bawling and I was breathing heavily but it didn’t feel like I was breathing at all and I was sweating and trembling and thought “this is it. im going to die today”.
So I just had my first panic attack. I obviously can not assure it was that, but I’m pretty sure it was. I literally cried for so long and it lasted for about 20 minutes then went and then came back again. This video made me feel so much more better. Thank you so much 🥺❤️
I just have panic attack when I am driving. Sometimes even I not the one who's driving. Trembling shaking crying feeling as if the car is loosing control. I can't socialize .fear of driving or being in a car.plane is worse .on medication from 2010 I up to now.
This video was very helpful. Especially the symptoms list. I get panic attacks in frequently and the particular set of symptoms that I get are identical with those of a heart attack except mine go away after a while. Thinking that you're having a heart attack just makes your anxiety worse.
I had a panic attack just last night. I thought I was having a heart attack. Like I was just walking and then all of a suddenly I started getting worried and then I had pain in my arms and it went to my chest and I felt like my heart was being squeezed and literally thought I was going to die . I felt my chest was gonna burst 😭 and I couldn’t breath and so many things started running through my mind and my friend didn’t know what to do.
A panic attack IS the physical event. A panic attack is triggered - although not always - by psychological anxiety, but what happens to our bodies is NOT just a side effect. It IS the problem. The anxiety is the trigger. You don't think you are dying, you FEEL like you are dying. Your body is telling you you are dying, the same way your hand tells you it's hot if you put it on a stove burner. It gets very difficult to breath. Your sympathetic nervous system is going haywire. You may lose your eyesight. Your hands may claw up. You are drenched in perspiration. Of course we have have feelings of terror - our bodies are going haywire. Your brain, triggered by feelings of fear (although not always), sends messages down the line and your body releases floods of substances (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) into your bloodstream that cause the physical effects. You may be able to work on the psychological trigger, but what is happening to your body is NOT under your conscious control. It is triggered by an offshoot of the fear/defense brain pathway that travels directly to the medial prefrontal cortex, then goes to the amygdala which classifies the event, then travels on to the parts that release the hormones, and so on. Those substances flood your body (called an adrenergic storm) which makes your body go nuts until the hormones work their way through and are detoxed from the blood. Empower yourself. Learn about what is happening to your body - there are lots of resources on the web (although don't believe everything you read!). Understanding of this problem is still growing - but it is NOT your fault anymore than someone with cancer is their fault.
I’ve been having frequent panic attacks recently. Tension in my head, my throat starts to tighten, my breathing gets really fast, and my heart beat increases, also my hands get shaky and sweaty. But, I have not got a diagnosis for anxiety. It can be very hard for me to relax when this happens
I got diagnosed with this it’s ruining my life! I constantly am out of breathe, nauseous, dizzy, my heart races, I cry uncontrollably and I can’t breathe
Currently going through it today. But thankfully today isn't as bad as yesterday. I forced myself to go out today, just to get some fresh air and yea it made me feel better. But i still have this feeling of not being able to breathe but i have to keep reminding myself that i am in fact breathing otherwise i wouldn't be alive so this keeps me calm. And also positive affirmations help me a lot. It makes me a lot calmer and more positive in a way. Honestly the best cure for panic disorder is to remain calm, talk your feelings out with someine you trust, write a journal. Write about your inner feelings. And also breathing exercises. I'm currently going through this so i have to do the same thing and i know how hard it can be when you're in the moment of all of this but yiu have to remember also that this thing doesn't last forever. That shit is temporary AF. So there's no need to freak out over it. And also if you want to contact me you can! My kik is goldandsunnyrainbows
I had my first panic attack last year around september. it was like 3am and I was working for days for a project and events and exhibitions and put myself under so much stress.. i felt like the ground was suddenly shaking under my feet, a weird strong kind of dizziness, tense around my chest, unable to speak, numbness, hard time breathing... i really thought i was having a heart attack (my dad had one 2-3 months ago back then, so I was already triggered) or on some kind of dugs (I never take drugs)... my brother was awake and he rushed me to the ER and I was freaking out... since then I am so traumatized. my mind CANT stop thinking about it... i was / am always an outgoing bubbly person but now I have Panic Attacks almost every day.. lately I have them more often again. my doctor only gave me a calming mediation called "Relaxane" but I don't think it really helps. I feel numb and dizzy and like in an illusion ALL THE TIME :( whenever I feel an "odd" sensation in my body I start to overanalyze it and put myself in a panic mood and think I have a serious illness.. sometimes even unconsciously cause my mind made it like a habit to think about all my worries all the time (mostly health related) .. it's so tiring.. i just want to feel energetic & fit again
I’ve had the exact same thing happen to me. What really helped me is doing things you always did like going for a run (with someone!!) and you’ll notice that nothing happens and that you’ll be fine!x
I dont know what i have but, i start to think about school, my friends, how i feel lonely, and then my hearts starts to race, my head hearts and i cant stop thinking about it so i just sit in bed, and look at a wall until it stops, this sucks, i get it at least every weak sometimes i ve had it happen to me 3 times in the same day
I never knew there was a name for this. I thought I was alone this whole time. i was ten the first time i had a panic attack and i really thought i was dying. i passed out in the middle of the bathroom in the middle of the night and woke up to the water running. i never told anybody and just went to school the next day like nothing happened and i was so scared that it was going to happen again. and it still does at least once or twice a month but i have never told anyone until it happened at school for the first time and i was forced to tell my mom about what has been happening to me(this was only about a month ago). but she hasn't taken me to the doctor because she doesn't t think its anything serious and its just a little anxiety that happens to everyone smh anyways I'm 14 now and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this:)
I was diagnosed with all 3 - GAD, panic disorder, and social anxiety, and mind numbing pills combined with therapy helped me to improve in my teen years. So to anyone who suffers from the same thing, take baby steps and don't push yourself too hard, but keep trying to come out of your shells, and you'll get there eventually. Don't let people pressure you because that will just stress you out and you'll likely just shut down. Everyone moves at their own pace in life.
For months I’ve been feeling this way, almost non stop. Has anyone else had feelings of just not feeling “normal” like almost dizzy but not really, more light headed. And detached from reality. It really freaks me out when it happens
I had my second panic attack today. I hope everyone else going through this feels better soon and hope they will be able to avoid it as much as possible. God bless you all🕊🤍
i had my 1st panic attack today. i felt like i was in danger, but i talked to my mom (she used to get panic attacks) i watched meditation videos and talked to people that i love. i hope you all know to just tell your self that you’ll be ok and to just breathe. trust me.
i always knew that i wasnt the only one with anxiety but i always felt like i was the only one experiencing it a certain way and that made me have even more anxiety but these comments really helped me feel more normal i guess and just less stressed
Ive been suffering from panic attacks since a few years ago, but they died down for a couple of years but now they have come back unfortunately. The worst part is that I have basically every single one of those symptoms and IT SUCKS
The physical symptoms may leave but the psychological symptoms can stay for a while. I feel like im always on the verge of going to the hospital because of this
I thought I was the only one who has panic attacks several times A DAY. I never had this in the past and just got this. Prayers to everyone who is fighting this.
I had often panic attacks the last months and it was so terrible i asked my mom to take me to a psychiatrist but she didn't believe it however, and i didn't know that my mom too had anxiety, but the situation has more or less stopped and I'm glad it did, experiencing it was terrible and scary. Thank you for the video
Got diagnosed with this disorder 15 months ago and finally overcame it a few weeks ago. Was a lot of mental battles, using my benzos when needed and trying to convince my brain that I won't die from an attack and that my breathing is fine(big part of my disorder was from my fear of my breathing not working/suffocating/lungs stop working/heart attack/fear of death) so had to train my mind over and over and over again to just walk through the fears and once you reach the other side you realize those walls of fear weren't real. This disorder took away so much of my happiness and now I have it back. You can get through this I promise, your brain learnt how to panic over everything so you can unlearn it too!
Thank you so much.. I usually have panic attacks every 2 months and they last for a month but I’ve gotten used to them but I still can’t really overcome them but this comment really made me want to train my brain to fix this nonexistent issue
@@SeRIoUSLyAC My pleasure! Once you realize there isn't a real hard fact behind the fears (you're healthy and not dying hello brain??) it just starts to melt away. All the best and remember you can do it!
I'm 16, I have a constant fear of getting one, I always feel like I can't breathe, but my doctor said that my lungs and heart are totally okay, I really think I should get treatment, because these past few days have been exhausting, my heart starts beating very fast, I can't breath properly and I can't do the daily activities
There are a few things you can try Work out why you suffer from anxiety - the first step in solving an issue is understanding why it is there. Be comfortable with yourself - this makes it easier when you are with other people. Just do it - you will gain confidence by taking action - especially by doing activities that push your boundaries.

i dont get panic attacks at day time, i get them when i wake up in the middle of the night. It literally doesnt stop for hours. i sweat alot, tremble, heart pounds. This combined with sleep paralysis is a NIGHTMARE. it used to happen to me quite often. They dont happen to me anymore. I read prayers before i sleep now.
This video answered my question as to why my panic attacks were constantly looked over when I told my mom and my doctors since I was 8 or 9. They gave me nothing or didn't have any advice on helping. I appreciate this video.
I wake up feeling incredibly dizzy and unstable. I walk around and feel like I'm losing control and it feels very heavy on my body. I look around and then begin to feel like I'm no longer in control of my body and accept that I'm about to die. Then i suddenly regain control, my breathing slows down and deepens. I don't have the chills or sweat, I just feel like I'm about to collapse and die. My breathing stops and I know it stops and I know i should breathe but i don't do anything about it until i cant take it anymore, then I breathe
I've had that out of body experience during all of my panic attacks. I've felt dizzy, with a shortness of breath, discomfort, fear of death, and I overthink the panic attacks scaring myself.
Other symptoms are: blurry vision, difficulties hearing or even thinking. Violent vomiting, dry mouth, pain (often back and neck) headache, difficulties with coordination, balance... many times leading to meltdowns or shutdowns.
I am living with Panic Disorder since 2010. I have comfort zones that helps me to do my daily job and even have fun. The more I am discipline less likely to have panic attack. What really helped me is to start accepting them to reduce frequency. So now during panic attack I may feel fleeing back to comfort zone but if I let it pass and get busy it ll subside and I can continue working. Tea and caffeine makes it worst. People with panic disorder also mostly worry about their health too so if they are not discipline about their health the guilt itself can build up and lead to panic attack.
It’s easy to get discouraged when you read the comments here since most of them come from sufferers, but I’m here to tell you that there is hope and PD is very treatable. I had a bad one back in 2008-2011. It got so bad that I was borderline suicidal. However, I learned to control my breathing, abandon compulsive thoughts, and made lifestyle changes to avoid triggers. I’ve been panic attack free since 2013. I’ve had anxiety attacks but haven’t gotten a full blown panic attack. The most I get is like a buildup of a panic attack, but I’ve learned to let it subside. Please seek help, there are a lot of online resources available that can help ease your mind. Information is key. Don’t give up!
I got diagnosed with this way back 20 years ago but I have learned to deal with it for the most part , I know have the phobia of going out just incase , and if the thought of panic attack enters My head I'm already there ie in full swing of one , sitting reading this helps I've done all the treatments and medications , plus I suffer from other diagnosed brain issues , I just hope and 🙏 you are all OK with ❤ to you all because ik how hard it is living with any mental health issue .. keep pushing forward my fellow humans and know your not alone 😊
I had 2 panic attacks within 3 weeks of each other. The first one happened during a really bad trip on weed. Now I feel really anxious about my health in general, especially with all the news about the Coronavirus. The worst part is I just recently got a job and I had to stay home this morning due to nausea (probably from my anxiety). I'll be so upset if this ends up taking a job away from me. I just want to have a normal life again.
Me too. It was right after I moved into my new house and I slept on the couch for two weeks. I started going to therapy shortly after and was diagnosed with panic disorder,depression and gad. Therapy helps so much. But I still don't like my house because I had constant panic attacks for the first few weeks after moving in.
I’m eleven years old and this has been going on for months, when I’m in school I have a feeling we’re I’m going to puke everywhere and get embarrassed, but that’s not to bad. What actual symptoms I have is a feeling of death, chest tightness, throat tightness, and many more worries. When I’m asleep, I wake up and just sit there, when I really focus on one thing it gets worse, when o hear my own heartbeat I feel like my heart is going to slow down to much and stop. But that’s all in my head. “Your brain tells you lies sometimes, but the Bible never lies, the word of God is what should keep you going on,” my gramma once said, anybody with this disorder, should go by my grammas words to❤️
As someone who has really severe panic attacks, I can say I relate to most of this except for the fact that I don’t have sudden fear that something bad is going to happen, it usually just happens randomly when I’m really stressed out or any real strong emotion ( stress, sadness, anger, etc)
Other less common symptoms: Include paralyzation where you can't move, time seems to speed up around you or slow down, it's hard to stand or your legs give out, feeling like your gonna throw up, upset stomach, etc
Just started going through this last week . Thought I had a heart attack out of no where and now I’m just freaking out everyday struggling shit is so damn scary
I have skipping heartbeat problems. And had panic attacks about it several times. Calm down everything is alright check your heart by a doctor. Hope you get better. Anxiety is a bitch.
I felt like a normal person before 2020. Never once knew what a panic attack was until i got one myself and now everything has changed about me. Started developing numbness, chest pains, head pressures, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, legs feeling heavy, shakiness and tremors. List goes on... its exhausting as hell..
Yes! But sometimes you just don’t have to time to cry yourself to stop yk so if ur in class or in public it’s really hard to focus on your breath and stuff
My first panic attack was when I was at a doctors clinic and there was a poster saying that heart attacks can happen to anyone or at anytime. It was pretty cold in the clinic so i was already shivering. After reading that i thought i was having a heart attack. The doctors checked it out and i was fine.
I was born in 1956, yes I am 67yrs old. I remember my first panic attack like it happened yesterday. It was in 1974. I have been housebound 3 times with panic attacks. I can't remember a time when I didn't have at least 2-3 a day. I tried every therapy I could find. To this day I still get them. Don't say it will get better when that is not true for everyone.
My panic attacks are unpredictable.. When im doing something that makes me feel better like playing guitar and washing the dishes ..it helps me calm down.. And also i drink water after that lol.. Im surprised on how i can control my panic attacks but then im getting tired of this
I think I need to find a better doctor, or at least one that really listens and wants to figure out what's wrong with me, because the ones I've seen all classify me as having some generic depression. While I know there are different forms of depression, I'm fairly certain this is not depression. What I get are fairly long periods of great uncomfortableness and feelings of worry, where every minute seems to be the slowest in my life. I can't ever put the feeling into exact words, or even say what I'm worried about - it really makes no sense to me, but it's usually over something trivial that's coming up soon (IE: a regular doctor visit that might be tomorrow). Or some not-quite-trivial moments like returning back to school or work after a vacation or break. Unknowingly, my muscles usually tense up and I clench my teeth, which tends to lead to gnarly neck pain and headaches. Interesting to note is that I rarely get this feeling for important deadlines, final exams, etc. I sometimes fret away weekends and am often unable to completely relax and enjoy myself. During my drive home from that mentioned doctor's visit is pure elation / a feeling of freedom, but it's the ~24+ hours before it that's hell. If you can remember the few hours before your first ever date, it's sort of like that - except there's no lovely lady waiting for me :(
I have had a few panic attacks in my lifetime , here's a story about one of them! My friends and family didn't believe that I had a panic/anxiety attack in school when I told them , they asked 'Did you really fall to the floor?' My answer was no , I was sitting on a bench with my friends , and they were all trying to calm me down , one of my bestfriend's had put her hand on my leg to stop the shaking , although it didn't stop , she told me 'I can feel the shaking.' also just some information on panic attacks! Panic attacks begin all of a sudden without giving any warning. They can strike at any time and may have occasional or frequent attacks. How they feel physically Racing or pounding heartbeat Shortness of breath or hyperventilation Sweating or chills Trembling or shaking Chest pain or discomfort Nausea or abdominal distress Dizziness or feeling faint Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet Severe dehydration How they feel emotionally Intense fear or a sense of impending doom Feeling detached from reality or oneself (derealization or depersonalization) Fear of losing control or going crazy Fear of dying anyways ty for reading!
I've had crippling panic attacks since I was about 13 and they don't get any easier. That AVOIDANCE is very very real and it can become viscous cycle...
I just had two panic attacks 30 mins apart the second one was more severe and my body was all tingly and I couldn’t breath right I also felt like I wasn’t in my body I don’t even know why I started to have one the first one was more mental than physical and the second was more physical then mental and now I don’t think I am going to be able to sleep I always call my dad when something like this happens Just remember to tell someone
Does anyone ever feel like their breathing stops for a second and find it hard to swallow?
yes, me and its an absolute horrbile thing, one of the worst, epscially when your in a car alone with a person who hasnt a clue why your acting so weird
so glad i seen this comment, your not alone, havnt seen many ppl with this exact symptom
Yes this is totally me your not alone ! I try my best for others not to notice these symptoms
Yes anxiety does a lot bro
Yes!
I thought I was alone with this problem. I just feel like hugging you people.
Hugggs. I had my first few a week ago, and another one today, though very minor. You're not alone, we will recover
Not gonna lie I smoked weed and straight up felt like that, that never really happens when I do that but today I really felt that
Totally Not 2D hope you are okay now, I recovered already, for now and hopefully for a long period of time.
DÆTONA I stopped smoking weed because of this. Having the attacks while high is a super bad trip.
@@khalidahmad1370 Same for me, I used to be an avid pot smoker, smokeed it for about 3 or 4 years every day. I cant now as it gives me panic attacks. Though now that i havent in a long while, life seems to be much better!
To anyone struggling with this terrible affliction: IT WILL GET BETTER! I had terrible panic attacks, almost daily, I couldn't function, get out of the house, it took my life away from me. It lasted for two terrible years. Finally I visited a doctor, got my benzos and anti depressants, and took them for almost a year.I've been off of my meds for almost two years now and not a single panic attack. I feel normal again. Have faith people, I know how terrible it can get but it will stop!
Which medication did you took?I am taking Lexapro but for my panic only benzos help
I have panic attacks and the only medication out there to treat this is klonpin that's what i'm on and it's like i got my life back. I also have argprphobia . It's spelt wrong but i'm sure you can figure it out. I couldn't go into stores to shop for the things i need and grocery for food.. i had a hard time getting treated for this and all it did was make everything worse because i went so long without being on the right medication that's for panic attacks and finally i found a doctor that helped me. All of these symtoms should have never got that bad where i couldn't even go into a grocery store and my shopping but instead my rx boyfriend had to do all the shopping. By the grace of God i finally got the right treatment and i could finally get my life back and be a normal person. Aniexty to the point where it's affecting my life and Health but since i got back on klonpin that's helping with it. Everything that i'm going though is all the doctors fault because they let me suffer for 11 months with extreme aniexty and all the other stuff on top of that. I almost had to suffer the rest of my life without being treated for what i was going though on a daily basis and it's not fun at all but the doctors don't have to suffer and find out that it's such a horrible feeling that you are limited on places to go because of my panic attacks and aniexty go wild and to the extreme aniexty it was. I am thankful that i finally am getting the right medication and help that i need. God was watching over me and he is the one who put the idea in the doctors head that im a severe case from not being treated for about 25 years maybe longer.
No I disagree. It's for life and you have to learn to live with it
Laura Lara, thank you for the encouragement. I’m a 13 year old girl and I had a Panic Attack yesterday. My first attack to be exact. In the past I struggled with depression and suicide but got a therapist and I worked it out. I thought my horrible struggles were over until I came across knowing that I have panic disorder. I’m just scared it will happen again and I know you know how I feel. Thank you for the encouragement, thank you so much, God bless❤️.
Thank you
I really thought I was the only one having these panic attacks. Everytime I went to the ER or the doctor they would say I have nothing and I just need to relax so I was very frustrated and people around me couldn't understand me at all. Now that I see that im not alone it feels less horrible and lonely.
My last panic attack was a few months ago and it started 3 years ago. Today, studying about it and reading other people's experiences makes me understand just how "normal" and not so "horrible" and "uncontrollable" this is.
A small prayer: I wish we all get over it once for all and find peace.
I was having chest pain for a year and had no clue what was happening. I had two ekg’s and some other monitor but the doctors said my heart is healthy. Once covid hit and I stopped going to work and school my panic attacks were infrequent. I haven’t had the chest pain anymore. It’s scary over panic attacks can harm you physically but doctors don’t look into it as much.
Hi, any improvement?
Ameen
It was the opposite for me. I thought every one had it, that I am just nervous and anxious, and that's pretty normal, that I was just overreacting to the triggers. But no, at a point it happened on a daily basis and there was nothing normal in having it out of nowhere when I'm alone by myself, that's when I realised it's something only I have. Looking further I realised I have hyperhydrosis and it is directly related to my attacks, so shit sucks, and I still have it few times a week. Ironically, now it is 'normal' to me.
Please create a group.....
Whenever i have a panic attack, like now, i have a tight chest, racing heart, closing throat, nausea, vomiting, cold hands, sweating, etc. Just so you guys know, you aren’t alone. We are all in this together. ❤️
Did it stop
@@UsmanKhan0980 In Jesus name i pray all this stops! ❤️
@@yakove From now uses ALLAH'S name instead of Jesus it worked for me
I cried reading your coment.
@@yakove pray for me also 😭
I have chest pain, heart pain, pounding heart, upset stomach, numbness and feelings of choking. It sucks and I have them almost everyday
same here! like someone is just stood on your chest
i have the upset stomach, chest pain, heart pain but that's it
Me too bro 😞
I have panic attacks because of my Acrophobia (phobia of heights), but I don't have a disorder.
i have it to man it,s horrible but just so u now you will not die its just your mind so stay calm be with your pets ect or maybe go for a jog & then a calm shower. And it will get figured out ;)
I feel like I am drowning while everyone else is normally walking..And the more I think it gets worse..As I hear my heartbeat I get scared and everything gets worse..
Omg me I feel like choking this sucks
Omg me too
Yup
I have been there, it's very hard to control or distract ourselves... But believe it or not, our brain is like a recorder, it listens to what we speak out, even though it feels like impossiblele or nothing happens at first, it does! try and see, say it to yourself that "I am in control of myself, nothing can control me" try to repeat this often (breath in thru nose slowly and breath out through your mouth) while you are breathing in and out, you try to believe that you are taking in positivity/happiness and breathing out the negativity/sadness, it will help... Try to use essential oils to relax your mind, try to relax at a quiet place or with relaxing music.. I hope this can help someone who needs help. I will pray for u!
Hope you are doing better now. I know how it feels. I've been there for so long. If you need any advice, just let me know!
I got anxiety just watching this
Me too

I just got diagnosed with this recently. Anyone in the early stages, it gets better. You start to learn how to identify beginning signs of a panic attack, how to ground yourself, and how prevent them (self care, etc). You’ve got this!
Who do you go to for help? Hospital because idk I come from non speaking English parents which won’t know much
My son is diabetic and once the sugars are high he experienced this attacks,a worried mom.
Hello I have panic disorder I heard this can't be cured my question is this how can we not let this turn into aggropohbia
I’ve been medically diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and Panic Disorder for nearly 6 years. I had a bad attack period of a week of near constant intense attacks that lead to unhealthy weight loss, strong mental fog, and gaining a new trigger. I started seeing a counselor last year shortly after that awful week and I’ve improved greatly and learned how to deal with a bad attack.
Hi, could you please share some tips on how to counter it
just had my biggest panic attack ever, i had extreme chills, nausea, shivering... im surprised on what my brain is capable of. If you have panic attacks just remember that youre not alone, were all in this together- remember its treatable and its not permanent so your life will be normal!
that feeling that you just woke up in the morning and you're feeling nervous, your chest starts to being so tight.
Me: here we go again
I thought it was just me that had this symptom because i have asthma it makes it even worse.
Gracie C. Try deep breathing and stretching
Yep, happening to me right now at 5 in the morning. I haven't slept.
Same 😭
Oh gosh same i woke up just today i feel like my whole body is shaking,my chest feels tight,my heartbeat is fast and i cant even breathe properly. My breathing feels like i got nervous of something
I start running around my house, It feels like I have to try to find something or do something to stop it or I'm gonna die
same
Same for me. I feel like I have to do something to even take my mind off of it, but I can't concentrate when I do. I feel so irritated and fidgety that I literally can't do anything. For me, my panic attacks come in waves (hourly and everyday even for a week or 2 possibly more). I can go and have consistent panic attacks for 1/2 weeks maybe a month straight of not feeling myself and worrying. Then it stops and then comes back whenever it feels like it.
BALL Hawk Me too! It feels like I have to keep my heart going, then I have thoughts heading to the hospital. It’s like there’s a timer on my heart.
I get the same feelings
Yes I do this too. I feel like I have lost my mind and feel like I need to move around to feel 'normal'. I feel like I am dying and have gone insane and will never recover from it. It's honestly terrifying how powerful the human mind is and that it's possible to experience such things from no specific trigger.
This is literally me last night. I stayed up all night due to a panick attack. I started hallucination things and thinking about life existence. I had a pretty good childhood but suddenly now days I am afraid to sleep because I don't want question about life existence again when I go to sleep. It's terrifying!
Omg!!! Same 😭
Same i think im going crazy or something else plz help me😢
YOU ARE NOT ALONE, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON FUTURE GOALS.
I thought I was the only one. Ill never forget my first panic attack. Happened yesterday. 5/8/20 Felt like I was declining, trembling, tremendous fear and anxiety. While seeing everyone else be totally normal.
u are not a lone we wil be ok
How is your health now
Why am I cursed with this ?? I'm tired
Gabby Vasquez ur not alone . I hate it. Can't even live life right. 😞
Gabby Vasquez not alone at all with this! there are so many who sufferer from this.... let's all take change it and help each other in the right way to get better .
You are not alone, we just have to keep telling ourselves that we are not gonna die, cause that exactly what it feels like it takes time it took months for me to finally accept that it was just anxiety we can overcome this even though it seems impossible.
I am too
I’m jumping from the top of my stairs
With someone diagnosed , i hate when people say “omg I had a huuuge panic attack” and I nod because it hits home .
Just remember that you are not alone and that you are stronger than panic/anxiety attacks. Sometimes its all in our head. We like to overthink. We are gonna be okay.
Mysterious Man thank you ❤️
Of course its all in my head?? I have MENTAL illness
THANK U
thanks bro
Thanks for your optimism.
I hyperventilate, choking sensations, I can’t respond, nearly passing out, heart palpitations, dizzyness, sweats, dissociation, tunnel vision, trembling and more. It’s so hard to explain this to people who haven’t experienced it before. It’s hard to imagine if it hasn’t been experienced. This video will help me explain how it feels to others 🥰
I started going thru this for the last few weeks and it's a fucking nightmare.
yea man, i was at the gym and felt some sort of worry that rushed me into the lockers, i felt as if the world was going to end for me, my vision was blurry like i was losing consciousness from breathing heavy , and i felt my body feel weaker as i was trying to control myself, it felt as if i was on auto pilot trying to hold my character up, so i went to the mirror to watch myself breathe and it was still affecting me, i had to drink water and listen to myself say i’d be okay, after i got some air outside i felt some feeling to cry out of shaking fear
Guys, I've been there. For so long. 4 years ago I was having several panic attacks a day, and the state that I was in back then lasted allmost a full year. The next year was rough, I've had my share of P.A. aswell, but not that often. Only a dozen per month. It was after that year, two years after I was diagnozed with general anxiety disorder, that I finally gathered all of my courage and went to seek help. After a full year of therapy (didn't want to take any meds) and half a year of my own way of battling it, I'm proud to tell you I haven't had a panic attack for a bit longer than a year. I'm not all good, but I am doing IMMEASURABLY better than before. Gather the strength in you, accept the condition you're in at given moment, seek help, there is ABSOLUTELY no shame in that, and confront that tricky mind of yours HEAD ON. Be strong, BE PATIENT with yourself. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time. Allow yourslef to feel low, BUT NEVER give up. I PROMISE YOU, you will overcome. Just as I did. To everyone reading this - You are capable of everythig, however you might feel and whatever you might think! You WILL overcome.
I had my first attack on March 13th, 2015. Watching videos currently because I was just blindsided by one laying on the couch. Was laying there watching TV, and then the room spun, my breathing stopped for a second, and I had to jump up to not die. Of course, I naturally thought it was my heart stopping since I take Beta Blockers for SVT, but I was able to realize it was an attack. To anyone watching this to learn about the disorder for a friend or loved one, I hope you understand how debilitating this disorder really is. There are a lot of people out there who laugh at it and just tell us to calm down and stop worrying. If you're curious to how it really feels, imagine that time to were walking down stairs and missed a step. That feeling that lasted half a second. Double the intensity and make it last 10mins to 2 hrs. That is a panic attack.
You are damn right only attackers know how worse it goes 😔💔
Are you ok now?
I still remember the first time I actually had a panic attack, and it was really unpredictable. I was in a seminar or something in a field trip and we were talking about solar panels. Suddenly, I felt like I wanted to break out of my body. I couldn't breathe and it actually felt like hell. It lasted for until the seminar was halfway done and I never forgot it to this day.
Once had a severe panic attack in class and had to walk out mid lesson, was in the medical room pacing around because I felt like if I stopped moving, it was lights out for me. It's like my body wanted to shut down & I couldn't control it
I also remembered , mine was during a camping in our school. it was a huge camping event so lots of people gather at our school. It was few mins before we have our march competition, and it was really hot that day. I suddenly felt a short of breathness and it feel like i can hear my own heart beating. During that time, i have no idea of mental illness and panic disorder, so I thought i was having heart attack and thought i was dying or going to faint. That thought really scared me and i also dont know what to do at that time. Because of that, I said to our commander that i cant join the competition because i feel sick at the very last mins. This brought anger and misunderstanding between me and my teammates because after they were done, i was feeling okay (not feel panic anymore) and not sick at all. I was also suprise my ownself, i dont know what was happening with my body. after that, i experienced it more often.
@@Rellz_yt pacing around very fast and sipping cold water is the only things that help my panic attacks
I thought I was having a stroke. My face went numb, lost speech, pounding heart, dizziness, shaking , feeling of impending doom - awful
mysto me too exactly!
Yeah this is so awful
Me is heart attack. I freaking always feel like I am going to just fall dead on the spot. It always starts with some weird body sensation and off we go to the races, chest pain, pain down my left arm, pain in my jam freaking real pain. So imagine if your mind can make you physically sick then it can do the opposite such as heal you.
I thought it was just me lol
Every day
Every time when i think of my death im really scared to die i get chills numbness and sweating
Sean _ Hugs you’ll be okay 🤍
sameeeee :(
@@ayennicoleeusebio7907 same as youuu 😭i hate it
I use to read all the comments when i get panic attacks, it makes me feel like ok, am not the only one who is suffering from this bullshit..
@Skye With an E reading all this comment right now is more like a Therapy to me. I feel like through y'all Voices and comments I'm literally healed already. Thank you all for sharing
Same it gives me Hope to realize that IAM not alone dealing with this tricky thing💩👽
Are you recovered now or still having this problem?
Omg same here, whenever I feel like I am having an attack I come to RUclips to read the comments and remind myself that it's not something dangerous like an incurable disease cuz my mind always ends up thinking the worst if I don't do that worst thing my mind always goes back to cancer and I feel so scared sometimes therefore comments are like free therapy
Are you okay now? I feel better
is so horrible having this problem, I've been suffering this problem for over 10 years it's hard to control it sometimes it's uncontrollable, you feel your going to die :( I was a very social person but this illness has effected my personal life.
If you want to cure your panic attacks naturally then check out this great information here: PanicFree. info
Aldo Martinez i'm suffer with prob from last 2month...i hv no idea how to remove this...its kinda lyk i'm going die ryt now...Fear of die + panic attack = Horrible Experice what i'm going through each nd everyday...unble to enjoy my life..
I have been dealing with it since I was 4, I remember having one when I was just sitting on the floor in front of the TV watching Steve Irwin on animal planet. Nothing happened that could have caused it, so I just decided to pretend that it didn't happen and I didn't tell anyone. I only had carpet burns that time, but sometimes they're so severe that I pass out for a few seconds or even throw up... I don't want to be reliant on pills or therapy my whole life, so I've started looking at service dogs.
Good info the best info that I have ever had was by following Kevs Control Plan (just google it) - I found it themost incredible method i've tried.
Same! I have panic attacks everyday. I couldn't remember how many times I've thought I'm gonna die or I have a heart disease and I'm gonna have a heart attack. There are too many negative thoughts running on my mind to the point where I'm sick of it. I'm so fed up with my anxiety and panic attacks. Fuck these panic attacks, I know I'm strong and I'll get through with it.
Ironically this is sorta helping me come down from one
Does anyone else feel really weird and floppy after a panic attack, my friends say I act high during the immediate aftermath and I come up with really weird ideas. I have never been high so idk.
Minus Mimik I think is the adrenaline rush
Same, my limbs feel very heavy and floppy
Minus Mimik i know i get exhausted after having one- mentally and physically- i tremble a lot and i just want to sleep afterwards
Yeah, that happens to me to
Yes I get dizzy and nauseous and even headaches. It’s bad. I just lay down and wait for it to pass
I have a panic disorder and an anxiety disorder it’s not fun and well I wish everyone with mental illness and just like me I’m here for you I love you and together we can stay strong
Watching this video and having all my symptoms spoken back to me has saved me from like, 3 panic attacks so far this week. Thank you.
How are you doing today?
Was diagnosed with panic disorder at the age of 21. Got things under control around 24. Went 16 years without a panic attack...starting in April, my panic attacks have returned. I forgot how difficult and exhausting panic disorders are. I also forgot how awful the dizziness and lightheadedness are. Here's to hoping I can figure it out again.
Just got back from the ER, which was my third visit in the past 3 months. I’ve gone to numerous specialists and endured countless tests/treatment only to be told this morning that I’ve been having panic attacks. Didn’t believe it at first because the physical symptoms were so aggressive and sudden that I was sure that I was having a heart attack or something related. I’ve spent thousands of dollars and had to quit my job for this unknown condition that took control of my life. Hopefully, I can start taking back the control. Thanks for this video, very informative.
Glad to be of help! We're rooting for you Adam! 🙏🏽
I get symptoms very similar to heart attacks I’ve done 3 ekg tests and they’ve all come back normal I’m only 18 so the chances of me having a heart attack are very low but sometimes the pain in my chest and sometimes neck makes it seem like I’m having a heart attack even though I know I’m not having a heart attack I think to myself “omg this is it”

God I'm having this right now, and it's been already more than a month, I was just chilling and boom I "couldn't" breath well and I felt so cold. And I feel like I'm about to die.. I can't stop crying I really hope I can recover...
Yes im 56 and remember having my first one at 20 literally thought i was suffocating thought it was an asthma attack kept doing my inhaler still could not breathe sweating so much than chills the room was spinning till this day i get them and worse as i get older was able to relieve symptoms from alot of running many many miles barely could walk today now i have to depend on medication totally making me miserable
Best of luck to you my friend you are not alone
It's all in your head
@@methatlovescats3602 omg im hearing this from a cat lover of course its in your head
i’m just now recovering from one, i have them every night so i watch these videos to further convince myself i’m not dying. it’s very hard not to think about serious things like when thsi one started i was freaking out and i looked up symptoms of heart attacks and tss which further stresses me out😭 this is by far my worst one my chest is still hurting
You got this, Ryleigh! 🙏🏼
Honestly, for the past 4 days even until now, constantly, I feel so anxious to the point where I keep pacing around, feel like I can't get a satisfying deep breath, my breathing is so shallow and I'm conscious of it, I chew my tongue too, and my mind feels so distorted and I can't remember how I was before I felt like this. Even when I go out it doesn't help me, and I keep overthinking scary scenarios in which I lose control, but I really don't want too. Even when I lie in a comfortable position, I can't yawn or breath in a relaxed manner. I feel so energetic then I feel lazy, I tremble during the day, but mostly at night. So whoever is reading this, you're not alone. If it wasn't for the quarantine, none of this crap would've been happening. When you get your daily routine disrupted, especially for months at a time, it makes everything difficult because you're constantly going to see people wearing masks, gloves and using sanitizers with those "stand 2 meters apart" sign. That is what gives us more anxiety because a pandemic like this never happened in history before, and we're not used to staying at home bored doing nothing, which leaves us stuck in our thoughts and being an overthinker.
I start crying for just a little bump in life and the feelings of choking chills and numbness plus so much more.
I have been failing my exams because I can't study. I live alone and I get panic attacks then I can't do anything and just watch youtube all day
The Gerd of Yore I know right dude do you get like tired and just no energy
This hits too close to home. I was always the top student at my class and once my anxiety got worse I failed my classes and became the biggest disappointment for my teachers and family 😔✌️. I wish you well 🥺
@@remmawiifanai7173 the same is happening with me I was also a top student now I can't even pass a test and am failing my exams
You're not alone BB
I teach psychology at university and I'm gonna use these materials on the class and ask students to translate and explain them in Persian! Thanks a million for creating them and I look forward to see more :)
i was just having a panic attack now and reading these comments just makes me feel so much better and like less alone and less stressed
There's lots of us out here! I'm so glad people talk about their mental health these days. When I first developed panic disorder in the early 2000s, it felt like a dirty secret I had to keep. It's literally only in the last five years or so that this has begun to change.
Am i the only one that is scared to death that they will never go away
I'm taking medications now after being diagnosed with panic attack and sever depression. After several attacks I learned how to control my mind to just accept the sensation, let it flow, and drop my resistance. To those who are having this, find a silent place, close your eyes and don't resist. Keep in your mind that it's just a panic attack you're having And nothing bad is going to happen. YOU'RE NOT DYING. Just let the sensation flow, feel it, let your body get used to it. Better if you're lying on your back and try to relax all your muscles. It will peak but eventually the feeling will subside. Prayers and having someone to talk to about what you're feeling is better.
Numbness and tingling all over and nausea are my symptoms,also feeling like I need to burp but can't so I end up yawning literally constantly,I also can't feel my arms sometimes ,they literally get so numb ,it's scary
Same exact things happen to me !! I have the feeling like I have to burp thing too ! My arms go completely numb. Body is so heavy it constantly feels like I'm trying to walk through water . I'm so tired of this .
Србомбоница did you ever overcome this?
Me too.. it’s like burping air out to make room for breathing. And sometimes yawning for air.
this is so accurate it’s scary. i have the same thing
I feel exactly same.. have you tried DARE approach
I've had one 6 days ago. Since then, I've been living through hell. Anyone else having this problem?
i use to have it but now i can manage it n the good part it i dont have to use any antidepressants. remember our mind is a story making machine. you are who u think u are today, tomorrow n so forth. so stop wasting ur time thinking crap things n frm now on stay positive about urself
I have.. evn got admitted to emergency as i cant breathe And got senseless for 1 hr.
Me
I had 2 today. And they were separated by an hour. I was breathing but I felt like I wasn’t so it felt like I wasn’t taking in any air. I was crying my eyes out and I was sweating and my whole body was trembling. My eyes turned red and I was a mess. It happened so unexpectedly. Like I was eating and watching a RUclips video and I just stopped breathing. The second one happened like 10 minutes ago. I just stopped cleaning my room and just started hyperventilating. I couldn’t breathe and I was crying and no one was around because both my parents were out working. My mom called while I was breathing heavy and on the verge of crying and I was trying to hold it all in to make it seem like nothing was wrong but I couldn’t. I just started bawling and I was breathing heavily but it didn’t feel like I was breathing at all and I was sweating and trembling and thought “this is it. im going to die today”.
i had one 3 days ago....since that day i am afraid of having another one and i feel i can not yalk to anyone
So I just had my first panic attack. I obviously can not assure it was that, but I’m pretty sure it was. I literally cried for so long and it lasted for about 20 minutes then went and then came back again. This video made me feel so much more better. Thank you so much 🥺❤️
I just have panic attack when I am driving. Sometimes even I not the one who's driving. Trembling shaking crying feeling as if the car is loosing control. I can't socialize .fear of driving or being in a car.plane is worse .on medication from 2010 I up to now.
This video was very helpful. Especially the symptoms list. I get panic attacks in frequently and the particular set of symptoms that I get are identical with those of a heart attack except mine go away after a while. Thinking that you're having a heart attack just makes your anxiety worse.
You're right, I always think that I'm having a heart attack and I'll die. But that only makes it worse.
To everyone suffering from this: you will get through it ❤️
Thank you. Just had a sudden panick attack and feel like hugging someone , its so bad😭
does anyone feel like you have a headache, and you start sweating, it’s hit bad it’s cold, you can’t swallow and you feel like throwing up ?

I had a panic attack just last night. I thought I was having a heart attack. Like I was just walking and then all of a suddenly I started getting worried and then I had pain in my arms and it went to my chest and I felt like my heart was being squeezed and literally thought I was going to die . I felt my chest was gonna burst 😭 and I couldn’t breath and so many things started running through my mind and my friend didn’t know what to do.
Same here also...did u consult doctor
Try consulting a doctor 🏥 And don't worry I have the same symptoms, it is hard but try yoga and eat greens ❤️
Same it’s terrible I know I had it at school and my school actually called the ambulance😭
Same here. I had it last week after had lunch with my cousins. Suddenly i got the same feeling. May i know how to prevent it or reduce it?
I Can't Brearh Sometimes And It's Extremley Excruciating
A panic attack IS the physical event. A panic attack is triggered - although not always - by psychological anxiety, but what happens to our bodies is NOT just a side effect. It IS the problem. The anxiety is the trigger. You don't think you are dying, you FEEL like you are dying. Your body is telling you you are dying, the same way your hand tells you it's hot if you put it on a stove burner. It gets very difficult to breath. Your sympathetic nervous system is going haywire. You may lose your eyesight. Your hands may claw up. You are drenched in perspiration. Of course we have have feelings of terror - our bodies are going haywire. Your brain, triggered by feelings of fear (although not always), sends messages down the line and your body releases floods of substances (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) into your bloodstream that cause the physical effects. You may be able to work on the psychological trigger, but what is happening to your body is NOT under your conscious control. It is triggered by an offshoot of the fear/defense brain pathway that travels directly to the medial prefrontal cortex, then goes to the amygdala which classifies the event, then travels on to the parts that release the hormones, and so on. Those substances flood your body (called an adrenergic storm) which makes your body go nuts until the hormones work their way through and are detoxed from the blood. Empower yourself. Learn about what is happening to your body - there are lots of resources on the web (although don't believe everything you read!). Understanding of this problem is still growing - but it is NOT your fault anymore than someone with cancer is their fault.
Your comment makes sense,I agree completely with you
Yesss, i find that when having a panic attack, just reading about them, and how they work help me calm down
Valerie Evanier Well said
Your soooo smart
Thank you for posting this
I’ve been having frequent panic attacks recently. Tension in my head, my throat starts to tighten, my breathing gets really fast, and my heart beat increases, also my hands get shaky and sweaty. But, I have not got a diagnosis for anxiety. It can be very hard for me to relax when this happens
(Also these symptoms can come on very suddenly)
@@la-gamez4451how are u
I got diagnosed with this it’s ruining my life! I constantly am out of breathe, nauseous, dizzy, my heart races, I cry uncontrollably and I can’t breathe
Potater Tots how are you now?
Silver Boots still bad unfortunately but they come in waves
Currently going through it today. But thankfully today isn't as bad as yesterday. I forced myself to go out today, just to get some fresh air and yea it made me feel better. But i still have this feeling of not being able to breathe but i have to keep reminding myself that i am in fact breathing otherwise i wouldn't be alive so this keeps me calm. And also positive affirmations help me a lot. It makes me a lot calmer and more positive in a way. Honestly the best cure for panic disorder is to remain calm, talk your feelings out with someine you trust, write a journal. Write about your inner feelings. And also breathing exercises. I'm currently going through this so i have to do the same thing and i know how hard it can be when you're in the moment of all of this but yiu have to remember also that this thing doesn't last forever. That shit is temporary AF. So there's no need to freak out over it. And also if you want to contact me you can! My kik is goldandsunnyrainbows
How are you doing now?
I had my first panic attack last year around september. it was like 3am and I was working for days for a project and events and exhibitions and put myself under so much stress.. i felt like the ground was suddenly shaking under my feet, a weird strong kind of dizziness, tense around my chest, unable to speak, numbness, hard time breathing... i really thought i was having a heart attack (my dad had one 2-3 months ago back then, so I was already triggered) or on some kind of dugs (I never take drugs)... my brother was awake and he rushed me to the ER and I was freaking out... since then I am so traumatized. my mind CANT stop thinking about it... i was / am always an outgoing bubbly person but now I have Panic Attacks almost every day.. lately I have them more often again. my doctor only gave me a calming mediation called "Relaxane" but I don't think it really helps. I feel numb and dizzy and like in an illusion ALL THE TIME :( whenever I feel an "odd" sensation in my body I start to overanalyze it and put myself in a panic mood and think I have a serious illness.. sometimes even unconsciously cause my mind made it like a habit to think about all my worries all the time (mostly health related) .. it's so tiring.. i just want to feel energetic & fit again
Same here i had my first panic attack last year September also. I went to a psychiatrist and she gave me anti depressants.
I’ve had the exact same thing happen to me. What really helped me is doing things you always did like going for a run (with someone!!) and you’ll notice that nothing happens and that you’ll be fine!x

@@Lillysadventures749 how are you now i have same feelings what can i do pls help me
help me.pls same feelings how can i know is it okay to me
I dont know what i have but, i start to think about school, my friends, how i feel lonely, and then my hearts starts to race, my head hearts and i cant stop thinking about it so i just sit in bed, and look at a wall until it stops, this sucks, i get it at least every weak sometimes i ve had it happen to me 3 times in the same day
I never knew there was a name for this. I thought I was alone this whole time. i was ten the first time i had a panic attack and i really thought i was dying. i passed out in the middle of the bathroom in the middle of the night and woke up to the water running. i never told anybody and just went to school the next day like nothing happened and i was so scared that it was going to happen again. and it still does at least once or twice a month but i have never told anyone until it happened at school for the first time and i was forced to tell my mom about what has been happening to me(this was only about a month ago). but she hasn't taken me to the doctor because she doesn't t think its anything serious and its just a little anxiety that happens to everyone smh anyways I'm 14 now and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this:)
bro we arewith you
I was diagnosed with all 3 - GAD, panic disorder, and social anxiety, and mind numbing pills combined with therapy helped me to improve in my teen years. So to anyone who suffers from the same thing, take baby steps and don't push yourself too hard, but keep trying to come out of your shells, and you'll get there eventually. Don't let people pressure you because that will just stress you out and you'll likely just shut down. Everyone moves at their own pace in life.
i had a panic attack at school yesterday so im glad to know what it is
For months I’ve been feeling this way, almost non stop. Has anyone else had feelings of just not feeling “normal” like almost dizzy but not really, more light headed. And detached from reality. It really freaks me out when it happens
Absolutely man. It kinda feels like low blood pressure/ blood sugar but when measured those are fine. It's scary, and that feeling often triggers you
Yes bro everyday it’s scary
I had my second panic attack today. I hope everyone else going through this feels better soon and hope they will be able to avoid it as much as possible. God bless you all🕊🤍
i had my 1st panic attack today. i felt like i was in danger, but i talked to my mom (she used to get panic attacks) i watched meditation videos and talked to people that i love. i hope you all know to just tell your self that you’ll be ok and to just breathe. trust me.
i always knew that i wasnt the only one with anxiety but i always felt like i was the only one experiencing it a certain way and that made me have even more anxiety but these comments really helped me feel more normal i guess and just less stressed
Ive been suffering from panic attacks since a few years ago, but they died down for a couple of years but now they have come back unfortunately. The worst part is that I have basically every single one of those symptoms and IT SUCKS
Same things happening to me
The physical symptoms may leave but the psychological symptoms can stay for a while. I feel like im always on the verge of going to the hospital because of this
I thought I was the only one who has panic attacks several times A DAY. I never had this in the past and just got this. Prayers to everyone who is fighting this.
I had often panic attacks the last months and it was so terrible i asked my mom to take me to a psychiatrist but she didn't believe it however, and i didn't know that my mom too had anxiety, but the situation has more or less stopped and I'm glad it did, experiencing it was terrible and scary.
Thank you for the video

Got diagnosed with this disorder 15 months ago and finally overcame it a few weeks ago. Was a lot of mental battles, using my benzos when needed and trying to convince my brain that I won't die from an attack and that my breathing is fine(big part of my disorder was from my fear of my breathing not working/suffocating/lungs stop working/heart attack/fear of death) so had to train my mind over and over and over again to just walk through the fears and once you reach the other side you realize those walls of fear weren't real. This disorder took away so much of my happiness and now I have it back. You can get through this I promise, your brain learnt how to panic over everything so you can unlearn it too!
Thank you so much.. I usually have panic attacks every 2 months and they last for a month but I’ve gotten used to them but I still can’t really overcome them but this comment really made me want to train my brain to fix this nonexistent issue
@@SeRIoUSLyAC My pleasure! Once you realize there isn't a real hard fact behind the fears (you're healthy and not dying hello brain??) it just starts to melt away. All the best and remember you can do it!

There are a few things you can try
Work out why you suffer from anxiety - the first step in solving an issue is understanding why it is there.
Be comfortable with yourself - this makes it easier when you are with other people.
Just do it - you will gain confidence by taking action - especially by doing activities that push your boundaries.

i dont get panic attacks at day time, i get them when i wake up in the middle of the night. It literally doesnt stop for hours. i sweat alot, tremble, heart pounds.

This video answered my question as to why my panic attacks were constantly looked over when I told my mom and my doctors since I was 8 or 9. They gave me nothing or didn't have any advice on helping. I appreciate this video.
Glad that our video helped, Shanta. 🙏🏼
I wake up feeling incredibly dizzy and unstable. I walk around and feel like I'm losing control and it feels very heavy on my body. I look around and then begin to feel like I'm no longer in control of my body and accept that I'm about to die. Then i suddenly regain control, my breathing slows down and deepens. I don't have the chills or sweat, I just feel like I'm about to collapse and die. My breathing stops and I know it stops and I know i should breathe but i don't do anything about it until i cant take it anymore, then I breathe
Same I felt like if I don't move then i'm dead. I don't know why, I can't control it. And my heart goes 200mph when I try sitting down to relax

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❤️
I've had that out of body experience during all of my panic attacks. I've felt dizzy, with a shortness of breath, discomfort, fear of death, and I overthink the panic attacks scaring myself.
I’ve had this too. It’s called depersonalisation or derealisation I think!
I have panic attacks every night and would have a feeling something bad will happen and just couldn’t sleep till 2am I am so thankful to know this..
Other symptoms are: blurry vision, difficulties hearing or even thinking. Violent vomiting, dry mouth, pain (often back and neck) headache, difficulties with coordination, balance... many times leading to meltdowns or shutdowns.
omg i thought i was the only one feeling pain and dry mouth i was so scared something was actually wrong with me 😭
I had the worst panic attack yesterday...It lasted from 7:30am to 3am the next day. It was horrible and my chest felt tight all day.
I am living with Panic Disorder since 2010. I have comfort zones that helps me to do my daily job and even have fun. The more I am discipline less likely to have panic attack. What really helped me is to start accepting them to reduce frequency. So now during panic attack I may feel fleeing back to comfort zone but if I let it pass and get busy it ll subside and I can continue working. Tea and caffeine makes it worst. People with panic disorder also mostly worry about their health too so if they are not discipline about their health the guilt itself can build up and lead to panic attack.
It’s easy to get discouraged when you read the comments here since most of them come from sufferers, but I’m here to tell you that there is hope and PD is very treatable.
I had a bad one back in 2008-2011. It got so bad that I was borderline suicidal. However, I learned to control my breathing, abandon compulsive thoughts, and made lifestyle changes to avoid triggers.
I’ve been panic attack free since 2013. I’ve had anxiety attacks but haven’t gotten a full blown panic attack. The most I get is like a buildup of a panic attack, but I’ve learned to let it subside.
Please seek help, there are a lot of online resources available that can help ease your mind. Information is key.

Just had a panic attack again I have them pretty often now I think it's now part of life.
I had 2 panic attacks within 3 weeks of each other. The first one happened during a really bad trip on weed. Now I feel really anxious about my health in general, especially with all the news about the Coronavirus. The worst part is I just recently got a job and I had to stay home this morning due to nausea (probably from my anxiety). I'll be so upset if this ends up taking a job away from me. I just want to have a normal life again.
I had a panic attack in my bed... I can't "ignore" that place 🙁
Me too. It was right after I moved into my new house and I slept on the couch for two weeks. I started going to therapy shortly after and was diagnosed with panic disorder,depression and gad. Therapy helps so much. But I still don't like my house because I had constant panic attacks for the first few weeks after moving in.
I’m eleven years old and this has been going on for months, when I’m in school I have a feeling we’re I’m going to puke everywhere and get embarrassed, but that’s not to bad. What actual symptoms I have is a feeling of death, chest tightness, throat tightness, and many more worries. When I’m asleep, I wake up and just sit there, when I really focus on one thing it gets worse, when o hear my own heartbeat I feel like my heart is going to slow down to much and stop. But that’s all in my head. “Your brain tells you lies sometimes, but the Bible never lies, the word of God is what should keep you going on,” my gramma once said, anybody with this disorder, should go by my grammas words to❤️

As someone who has really severe panic attacks, I can say I relate to most of this except for the fact that I don’t have sudden fear that something bad is going to happen, it usually just happens randomly when I’m really stressed out or any real strong emotion ( stress, sadness, anger, etc)
Other less common symptoms:
Include paralyzation where you can't move, time seems to speed up around you or slow down, it's hard to stand or your legs give out, feeling like your gonna throw up, upset stomach, etc
Just started going through this last week . Thought I had a heart attack out of no where and now I’m just freaking out everyday struggling shit is so damn scary
I have skipping heartbeat problems. And had panic attacks about it several times. Calm down everything is alright check your heart by a doctor. Hope you get better. Anxiety is a bitch.
I felt like a normal person before 2020. Never once knew what a panic attack was until i got one myself and now everything has changed about me. Started developing numbness, chest pains, head pressures, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, legs feeling heavy, shakiness and tremors. List goes on... its exhausting as hell..
Before covid I was laughing at people who had this condition. I'm not laughing now. You think it will never happen to you, but here we are.
i’ve had these but the attacks eventually goes away when i cry so hard, do others experience the same thing?
Yes! When i cry the panic attacks starts to go away sometimes
For me it starts going away if I do something that really hurts like I try to pinch myself but usually that's not enough
Yes! But sometimes you just don’t have to time to cry yourself to stop yk so if ur in class or in public it’s really hard to focus on your breath and stuff
I'm having one right now and I know it. So I searched this video to relieve myself. This feels like hell.
Yu u Try not to think about it. Keep positive thoughts and you will be okay! Hugs 🤍
Same here right now! Hope you good now
My first panic attack was when I was at a doctors clinic and there was a poster saying that heart attacks can happen to anyone or at anytime. It was pretty cold in the clinic so i was already shivering. After reading that i thought i was having a heart attack. The doctors checked it out and i was fine.
Me bro after checking my bp
was alright I checked my bp it was 140/90 I got scared after that and now I am panicking
I was born in 1956, yes I am 67yrs old. I remember my first panic attack like it happened yesterday. It was in 1974. I have been housebound 3 times with panic attacks. I can't remember a time when I didn't have at least 2-3 a day. I tried every therapy I could find. To this day I still get them. Don't say it will get better when that is not true for everyone.
Had one last night at home in bed, thought it was a heart attack, it really jacks you up with that fear. Very hard to distinguish between what it is
My panic attacks are unpredictable.. When im doing something that makes me feel better like playing guitar and washing the dishes ..it helps me calm down.. And also i drink water after that lol.. Im surprised on how i can control my panic attacks but then im getting tired of this
i drink water constantly and yea guitar def helps alot
Same... It sucks to live like diz but thankfully im not alone
I always feel like I’m detached from reality.... I feel like that’s the worst symptom.

@@malinkristina8255 i feel like this too! want to talk or something?? I hope yours is getting better!!!
BeautifulHearts101 yes please! DM me on instagram at comeonmaileen!
Its called depersonalization and Ive been feeling this for over 4 months now, it sucks. Wish you well
Got the same thing, most horrifying thing I've experienced, hoping to get better!
I think I need to find a better doctor, or at least one that really listens and wants to figure out what's wrong with me, because the ones I've seen all classify me as having some generic depression. While I know there are different forms of depression, I'm fairly certain this is not depression.
What I get are fairly long periods of great uncomfortableness and feelings of worry, where every minute seems to be the slowest in my life. I can't ever put the feeling into exact words, or even say what I'm worried about - it really makes no sense to me, but it's usually over something trivial that's coming up soon (IE: a regular doctor visit that might be tomorrow). Or some not-quite-trivial moments like returning back to school or work after a vacation or break. Unknowingly, my muscles usually tense up and I clench my teeth, which tends to lead to gnarly neck pain and headaches. Interesting to note is that I rarely get this feeling for important deadlines, final exams, etc. I sometimes fret away weekends and am often unable to completely relax and enjoy myself. During my drive home from that mentioned doctor's visit is pure elation / a feeling of freedom, but it's the ~24+ hours before it that's hell.
If you can remember the few hours before your first ever date, it's sort of like that - except there's no lovely lady waiting for me :(
I have had a few panic attacks in my lifetime , here's a story about one of them!
My friends and family didn't believe that I had a panic/anxiety attack in school when I told them , they asked 'Did you really fall to the floor?' My answer was no , I was sitting on a bench with my friends , and they were all trying to calm me down , one of my bestfriend's had put her hand on my leg to stop the shaking , although it didn't stop , she told me 'I can feel the shaking.'

I've had crippling panic attacks since I was about 13 and they don't get any easier.
That AVOIDANCE is very very real and it can become viscous cycle...
I just had two panic attacks 30 mins apart the second one was more severe and my body was all tingly and I couldn’t breath right I also felt like I wasn’t in my body I don’t even know why I started to have one the first one was more mental than physical and the second was more physical then mental and now I don’t think I am going to be able to sleep I always call my dad when something like this happens
Just remember to tell someone
