I am normally pacing, crying, and screaming. I felt like I was choking and dying. I used to have an intense fear of choking, to the point of not being able to swallow. When I would eat, I would have intense panic attacks. It got so out of hand, I thought I needed to go to the hospital. At the hospital, they gave my parent an anxiety pan flit and I was very confused.
I feel like I can’t take a full breath, try to breathe as deeply as I can, can’t stop obsessing over my breathing. It can also be hard to eat and swallow as it triggers my anxiety
I am pretty good now. I still get pretty anxious when I swallow something, but it is a lot better. I was loosing weight when I had this severe anxiety, but now I have grown so much, that I think I am overweight again. If you have any questions, then ask away.
I am crying right now! You literally solved all the answers to my questions. Dealing with this every single day is so tough. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!!!!
I used to have panic attacks very often. It's exhausting. Nowadays it's a bit better, I'm on medications, trying to work on myself to handle my fear and anxiety.. so I only get panic attacks sometimes now. Don't give up, people. Stay strong!
this is just the best thing I’ve watched. I was depressed and suicidal, couldn’t really picture myself getting any better or living my life despite my disorders, but after this video I have hope again. I usually expect another “deep breathing”, “go for a walk” thing whenever I click on a video on the subject, but since your videos with OCD have helped me so much, I thought I might give this one a try, and I couldn’t be more glad. Thank you very, very much, and keep on doing this amazing work of yours!
Thanks for telling us kobi. Can you give us some tips on how you started and what you did to start taking control of the panic attacks and getting your life back?
The worst thing it happens mostly at night and I can’t sleep. I’m literally having one rn, I’ve watched like 10 videos trying to get relief. I am holding on to God, you should too. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS❤️. Thank you for the vid
Hey Nathan! Just wanna say how much I LOVE your videos,and explain everything so well and with a great sense of humour 😁 My GAD started 4 years ago,causing by constant stress in my job.Panic Attacks were so hard that at the end I couldn't even leave my appartment for weeks.I avoided everything! But,like you describe in your videos,my doctor said: "Imagine your anxiety as a wave.But instead of avoiding that wave,what about jumping on that wave,ride it and enjoy it?!" First I thought that's total garbage and not logical.But at the end that's the only thing that really work! Of course still in some situations a feeling/a thought/a body sensation comes up,but I react differently to it. Keep up your gorgeous work! Best regards from Berlin/Germany
You have no idea, how much you've helped through the course of years. I'm broke i dunno if i could ever be able to afford a therapist but ever since i had my first full blown panic attack to this day when they've gotten worse and keep going on and off...i certainly cannot describe in words...Nate, your videos have been a life saver. For someone with anxiety and any form of mental illness they know how hard life can be...but these people right here have given me a reason to stay and to live and while i live to not just merely exist but thrive. I love you, i really do and above all i thank you again ❤ never stop posting
Maybe you won`t believe me but I managed to get over my emetophobia 2 months ago thanks to your videos. It is true that I was lucky enough to find you after just 2-3 weeks after the fear and panick attacks begun. It was hell but I got over it. Of course I still had panick attacks but the intensity was much lower. Now they are back in the form of health anxiety. Maybe you can do a video about that if you want. I really think you do not understant how helpful your videos are. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. I just had panic attack last night. I managed to push it away with your "I dont care, im not gonna die from this"-attitude. Before I couldn't ignore my heartbeat but now I forgot it was even there.
I love this video. I do these things and it truly helps. I always call my BFF and she entertains me with funny stories until it passes, because it always passes. I always treat my panic attacks as a short term annoyance like the hiccups. I say to my boyfriend, “Sorry babe. I’m having a panic attack. Can you give me a minute.” He just waits for it to pass and we carry on with our conversation. I think it’s important to have people around you that treat it like it no big thing.
This seems to be similar to OCD treatment, which it is, because OCD fills you with anxiety and you need to live with that terrifying anxiety to achieve immunity.
I'm a 19 yo. I'm not sure it's panic attack or something else. I was at this shop. All of a sudden I started crying and no matter what I can't stop crying. I don't know what happened to me that day.
I just found you after my therapist was like huh...sounds like ocd and anxiety! Everything makes sense now, just my habits and repetitive behavior in an attempt to avoid panic. So I tried this, I acted like it was a blast....probably looked manic..but it worked. I was using the acceptance and floating technique from Dr. Claire Weeks, and it worked...for awhile. Now I'm floating and dropping sick beats to my tachycardia. So hey, thank you, sincerely thank you!
You're a hero! Your videos give me such peace during ocd/panic episodes! You seem like such a lovely person! Thanks for making the world a better and more peaceful place 😊
Thank you so much. I have suffered from panic disorder, pure-O, sensorimotor ocd and tics my all life. When it starts I spend hours and hours shaking (disphragm spasm, excessive blinking, I can't really breath and when I eat I start choking on my food. It's really really a bummer. I stopped seeing people. Your videos give me some hope x
a bit of a weird take but your voice is sooo calming and very reassurring. so much so that it feels kind of counter-intuitive. here you are saying that you shouldn't seek reassurance with your extremely reassurring voice, maybe a more "scary" voice would suit the videos better on that regard :D
haha. That's funny. Man, I'll have to work on that voice. Maybe, I try to mimic the "I don't care" calming attitude for others to follow during the panic attack. 🤪
This is the best person to listen to on yt all the others are vamps like not really but they do scare us! Isn't it ocd people! This person just makes it so optimistic n easy to handle u really are an angel I will keep saying this always
I used to have a constant panic attack that literally lasted for a few days straight. Only stopping at night if I am lucky enough to fall asleep only to wake up in the middle of the night. They where so severe. If you want some of my advice, take an Epson salt bath, meditate, exercise, and maybe draw if you are into it
I have rode that wave, it’s awful, it’s painful and deteriorating. I shake, I cry, I scream. I scream for help because it literally feels like “this is it” it feels like I will “snap and go crazy, do something world and end up harming or killing someone”. It literally feels like my thoughts are REAL, sometimes it even makes me feel like I want to be an evil person. This makes the panic attack a million times worse, I have to call for paramedics, only to be given Ativan, and for me to worry about “when will the next one come?”. I am tired of riding the wave, and I have no idea what to do anymore.
Let me add, I avoid church, supermarkets and any place that I have had a panic attack. I have not been to my loved church in almost a year. Thanks panic attacks!
Dear, u must not be doing it the right way its okay but its the way believe in it for once it will help it does just don't care when a panic attack comes it wants to irritate u don't get irritated start saying I love it a million times slowly deeply breathing trying to encourage it after all its just that fucking fear isn't it we may have different symptoms different intensities but we are in the same boat and we will fight it okay?
I saw stuff on RUclips which made me really anxious I was anxious and thoughts won't go away the content was distressing though it was just the truth, I didn't give up I didn't let my compulsions hit in at first I tried to reassure myself but u can't stop the truth I was anxious panic attack symptoms begin to show up and honestly I have symptoms typing this but the victory is my erp is complete and now I'm more anxiety free ik many people have been struggling from a long long time and I pray for them and assure them everything is gonna be okay really and u don't even need this reassurance you already know it. BELIEVE! HOPE IS REAL
This is actually really great advice but it def sounds SO counter-intuitive. Is there an OCD that has fear of surgery or health ailments? I had surgery a decade ago and ever since then, I've had panic attacks about getting reinjured or having another surgery. I avoid all the things that I think could injure me and if I have panic I can't eat which is the WORST. I literally starve myself because my stomach goes in knots. I don't know if anyone else is like this or knows what kind of OCD this could be. I've had panic and anxiety so much I finally came to the conclusion that when it happens you have to just ride the wave, a day later I came across your video and confirmed my own conclusions from personal experience.
When my dad died, I couldn't cry. I had to go grocery shopping the day after, and while pushing the cart around, suddenly couldn't breathe. It was freaky. A huge weight was on my chest and I thought Something was wrong. I stopped in the middle of the aisle, to figure out what was physically happening. I realized I actually Was breathing, even though I felt like I couldn't catch my breath and my heart was racing. Then I realized that my body was doing my grieving in spite of my denial of my sorrow. So, I just let it. I figured since I couldn't cry, I would just let my body do the mourning that way, and I just let the panic attacks happen as they would. I had a couple more similar panic attacks that week, and then they stopped. I never did cry about my dad, but I guess I still was able to mourn.
My panic attacks used to happen only when I was giving a presentation. Now they can happen when I'm just talking to a few people or reading out loud. I like this video and I'm going to try to ride the wave. Thanks.
@@Relaxingsounds-pt1gb I got back on prozac which helped a little bit. But the most helpful thing is to continue to put myself in situations where the panic attacks occur, be honest with people about it, and be kind to myself. What we resist persists.
Thank you this helps a lot! It’s definitely very difficult when you are in a panic attack. I think my questions is, if you are debating going on medication, does anxiety medication kind of train your brain that you need it in order to stop panic attacks? So is medication a bad route to take or does it depend on the person
I wouldn't unless you absolutely have no other choice. I took that route even non narcotic anxiety meds like buspar make me feel like I need them to not have panic attacks, And feeling like I "need" a pill to feel better give me more anxiety lol
i’m getting a job soon, and i keep getting scared i’ll have a panic attack while on duty. i can’t let the fear control me, so i’m making peace with it right away!
Hi! My bf (who lives a whole continent away from me) has recently been diagnosed with panic disorder and he takes some meds, and he says he still gets them during his classes. I don't know how to help him or make things better for him. I am really far and it's really hard for me to be physically there for him everyday. Can you make a video for those who want to help/comfort the ones that are suffering with panic disorder please? I would be so grateful
My panic attacks usually consist of numbness, extreme tightening of all of my limb and chest muscles, gasping for air, and extreme hand pain due to my finger muscles getting so tight that they form fists and I’m unable to move them. I will usually be tired after and my hands will shake tremendously when I try to lift them up.
hello, i'm mel..first i wanna thank you so much for sharing because this helped me feel less alone as most of the time people don't understand what i'm feeling🥺 and i truly wish you nothing but the best. second, i was wondering if I could post your story (anonymously ofc) on my instagram page where i use my platform to raise awareness and help people feel less alone💜
This is crazy. These are the exact set of symptoms I experience when I have panic attacks. I thought I was reading a comment written by myself. Love you, all strength to you and since I'm two years late to find this comment, hope you are feeling great 💞
@@darlingladymoon the weird thing is, after I wrote this comment, it could’ve even been later that very day, I went to the hospital because I was having this weird issue with compulsive movements that was causing my body extreme discomfort, lightheadedness and fatigue. I’m not going to get into specifics but that incident led me down a long road that would eventually get me a diagnosis of Tourette’s. After 16 years on this earth, most of which accompanied by unwanted movements or vocalizations, I finally had an answer to what was probably the biggest contributor to my panic attacks. My panic attacks were their own thing, but they may have come from years of judgment from both my peers and my family. I would be shamed for them and I never knew why I did the things that I did, all while they caused me physical pain non-stop. I was a prisoner in my own body, and I had no explanation. All I could do was move forward and take it one day at a time. Eventually your kinda get used to it but it never completely stops being a problem, and getting used to it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ok with it and that it should stay the way it is. At least in my case I wasn’t ok with it but I didn’t really know how to describe what I was going through so I had no real way to recognize that it wasn’t normal. I was told that everybody went through the same things I did, but in my head I knew that it was different. But I didn’t really have a choice in weather or not I could change it or not. I just kinda lived through every day. In January of 2021 I wrote this comment, and later that January I went to the hospital because my tics had gotten so bad, and I didn’t know what they were. I went as a last ditch effort to save myself from the pain. I hoped they could put me to sleep and let my body rest. Luckily they did, but it would still be a few more months of wondering and arguing with my parents (who thought that Tourette’s was a mental disorder that didn’t necessarily need a doctors diagnosis to start treatment) before I got my answer. It’s crazy that two years later someone commented on this. I am about to graduate high school. People still make fun of me for my tics a lot but I’m undergoing treatment for them and my anxiety. I have not had a panic attack like the one I described in over a year. I have learned a lot about myself over these past couple of years. I have many friends who accept me and stand by me when my peers cast judgment, and overall I am a lot happier.
Same here. Breathing is always something i worry im doing too little of. So i make myself think about my breathing to much. Which in turn if my breathing seems off then i panic.
@@joerodriguez9808 oh yes breathing is my main trigger. Can't tell if I'm breathing or when i do it feels odd or out of rhythm. I suffer bad nasal congestion which me sniffle or overbreath too much. I can't snap out of it.
Im afraid of just about everything. Im afraid of being a schizophrenic, and hearing voices etc, so whenever someone talks i hear it echo, like my brain is TRYING to scare me, im afraid of being on a spinning ball, sometimes my brain convinces me i can feel the earth spinning, sometimes i feel as if im upside down and that i could fall into the sky, causing me to stay inside, and never look up when im outside, sometime i feel like the food i eat is a drug and that if i eat it ill feel weird, and im afraid of being on drugs, from a traumatic experience w/ weed, so i randomly feel like it. Im 14 and i just want to feel like everyone around me. I can't hang out with anyone not even my family, without feeling anxious, i just wanna have a good time again. I was diagnosed with PTSD when i was younger, because of trauma. I need help but im scared of medication. Please help me.
Hey Amber..I myself am 15 I may not know the answers or anything but I wanna help u dm me on Instagram @phoenix_raphaelite I have OCD but I feel bad about you I wanna motivate you maybe that helps. I just wanna say Nothing lasts forever okayy! U will overcome it your mind is to protect you it won't destroy u never u are absolutely fine u won't loose it my dear...almighty is with you these may seem lame but it will help for sure u will be out of this really soon I betcha
I've been stuck for 20 yrs because despite knowing how to correctly respond to a panic attack, I can't myself to voluntarily push myself to have one. Most of the time when my brain saying hey this might cause an attack, I'm like "I really don't feel like feeling horrible right now, I got enough problems" and I avoid doing that activity. I wish there was something that would allow me to do it (ie self EPR). Suggestions?
I love your videos you've helped me so much I was having one in church and I did what you said ohh well bring it on I started laughing at them..I don't fear them I do excerises to bring them on..you're so funny
I need please help me first I overthinking..then suddenly my temperature of body get changed...then m feeling dizziness.. sometimes shortness of breathe during this m feeling little sensation in my throat...if u help me pls. And it goes for 30 to 1 hr..
This is an old video but still hoping someone may answer.. My partner has what he calls panic attacks but I'm not sure they are because he ends up on the floor or bed, rolling around, kicking, fidgeting, hyperventilating, screaming. To me these are not signs of a panic attack other than the hyperventilating. Can someone please confirm so i know how to help if they are? I'd appreciate it!
I have an intense fear of death, when i go to sleep I fear ill die on my sleep so I panick, or when I go outside I feel like I cant understand reality or why I am here and it makes me have also intense panick attacks, i feel like i need to grab into objects or something and sit down or else I will disapear , it is the most intense fear and its frequent when i go outside or when i am standing up for too long, I have been having issiues even with therapy dealing with the intense fear, I am not sure if I could get some advice I would apreciate it. I have a horrible fear of the idea of not existing after death.
I keep having reoccurring panic attacks and my gp thinks I may have panic disorder. I also think I may be developing agoraphobia. I am really struggling to get out of the house with it and just sit with it, do you have any ideas?? I am also suffering with constant dizziness and I have ARFID so it is just so much to cope with 😥
Ok I have sever anxiety disorder with agoraphobia due to panic attacks I’m actively trying to fight it what do I do when I am walking to my mail box and it hits but I only wanted to walk to the mailbox do I go back my house and sit on the porch until it leaves or do I stay at the mailbox because that’s where it hit me?
I just have a panic attack just min ago ..... I was shaking and my stomach hurts and I feel so tired 😴 ..... I am scared that I never going to wake up the next morning
what is the formal treatment when ocd like thinking is caused by or causing some of cue panic attack symptomes. With ocd you recommend do not engaged purposely in the theme, but when the theme triggers panic like symptoms then for panic you recommend to revisit the situation that triggers it. That would mean for people to re-engage into the theme and just feed the ocd. It is a bit of a contradiction. Also one might get confused when using this acting like you enjoying the panic symptoms when caused by one ot the more guilt-filled ocd themes that woudl trigger another layer of ocd inside the panic an become more of the meta. Is there some general approach to not get lost in the approaches presented on your channel? thx
I feel exactly the same thing!!! But not on panic attacks.. I actually feel the same way about anxiety! Can someone advice me of a video to watch? To not let my body check on anxiety and if I will have it or not)
sir i tried to picture out of what happened to me. past year .i have trauma i feel my heart beat faster.. i want to live nirmal sir but i am afraid .. i have my family

can I please ask a question? can a person be diagnosed with more than one type of ocd? cause I think I am and I’m not sure And I’m willing to go to a therapist to get some help but I need answers because no matter how much I searched nobody is talking about it I hope u answer this as quickly as possible so I know I’m not alone thanks :(
the different "kinds" of OCD aren't so much as "kinds" but they're more like different "sections" of your OCD. If you have OCD you have it, the thoughts that have to do with harm, sexuality, morality, ideology could change throughout a patient's life and therefore it is much more important to tackle the OCD itself.
Do you have PANIC ATTACKS? What do they look like? 👍🏻
I am normally pacing, crying, and screaming. I felt like I was choking and dying. I used to have an intense fear of choking, to the point of not being able to swallow. When I would eat, I would have intense panic attacks. It got so out of hand, I thought I needed to go to the hospital.

I am pretty good now. I still get pretty anxious when I swallow something, but it is a lot better. I was loosing weight when I had this severe anxiety, but now I have grown so much, that I think I am overweight again. If you have any questions, then ask away.
I get a lot of anxiety about breathing, and overall health.

This makes the panic attack a million times worse, I have to call for paramedics, only to be given Ativan, and for me to worry about “when will the next one come?”. I am tired of riding the wave, and I have no idea what to do anymore.
Let me add, I avoid church, supermarkets and any place that I have had a panic attack. I have not been to my loved church in almost a year. Thanks panic attacks!
Dear, u must not be doing it the right way its okay but its the way believe in it for once it will help it does just don't care when a panic attack comes it wants to irritate u don't get irritated start saying I love it a million times slowly deeply breathing trying to encourage it after all its just that fucking fear isn't it we may have different symptoms different intensities but we are in the same boat and we will fight it okay?
Love it! Ride the wave 🌊 🙌🏽
I saw stuff on RUclips which made me really anxious I was anxious and thoughts won't go away the content was distressing though it was just the truth, I didn't give up I didn't let my compulsions hit in at first I tried to reassure myself but u can't stop the truth I was anxious panic attack symptoms begin to show up and honestly I have symptoms typing this but the victory is my erp is complete and now I'm more anxiety free ik many people have been struggling from a long long time and I pray for them and assure them everything is gonna be okay really and u don't even need this reassurance you already know it. BELIEVE! HOPE IS REAL
This is actually really great advice but it def sounds SO counter-intuitive. Is there an OCD that has fear of surgery or health ailments? I had surgery a decade ago and ever since then, I've had panic attacks about getting reinjured or having another surgery. I avoid all the things that I think could injure me and if I have panic I can't eat which is the WORST. I literally starve myself because my stomach goes in knots. I don't know if anyone else is like this or knows what kind of OCD this could be. I've had panic and anxiety so much I finally came to the conclusion that when it happens you have to just ride the wave, a day later I came across your video and confirmed my own conclusions from personal experience.
Thank you!!
I hope it helped you! 😃
Just gotta bully my brain...Got it😂❤
Thank you so much
When my dad died, I couldn't cry. I had to go grocery shopping the day after, and while pushing the cart around, suddenly couldn't breathe. It was freaky. A huge weight was on my chest and I thought Something was wrong. I stopped in the middle of the aisle, to figure out what was physically happening. I realized I actually Was breathing, even though I felt like I couldn't catch my breath and my heart was racing. Then I realized that my body was doing my grieving in spite of my denial of my sorrow. So, I just let it. I figured since I couldn't cry, I would just let my body do the mourning that way, and I just let the panic attacks happen as they would. I had a couple more similar panic attacks that week, and then they stopped. I never did cry about my dad, but I guess I still was able to mourn.
You helped me alot Nathan. THANK YOU ❤❤❤
My panic attacks used to happen only when I was giving a presentation. Now they can happen when I'm just talking to a few people or reading out loud. I like this video and I'm going to try to ride the wave. Thanks.
Heyyy I am going through the same thing can I ask you what helped you the most?
@@Relaxingsounds-pt1gb I got back on prozac which helped a little bit. But the most helpful thing is to continue to put myself in situations where the panic attacks occur, be honest with people about it, and be kind to myself. What we resist persists.
Thanks for your videos !🙏❤️
Thanks so much!
Danke!
Thanks so much! This means a lot!
Thank you this helps a lot! It’s definitely very difficult when you are in a panic attack. I think my questions is, if you are debating going on medication, does anxiety medication kind of train your brain that you need it in order to stop panic attacks? So is medication a bad route to take or does it depend on the person
I wouldn't unless you absolutely have no other choice. I took that route even non narcotic anxiety meds like buspar make me feel like I need them to not have panic attacks, And feeling like I "need" a pill to feel better give me more anxiety lol
Meds don't teach your brain anything except to take meds.
i’m getting a job soon, and i keep getting scared i’ll have a panic attack while on duty. i can’t let the fear control me, so i’m making peace with it right away!
Love this so helpful I've been trying this to embrace amd except them
Hi! My bf (who lives a whole continent away from me) has recently been diagnosed with panic disorder and he takes some meds, and he says he still gets them during his classes. I don't know how to help him or make things better for him. I am really far and it's really hard for me to be physically there for him everyday. Can you make a video for those who want to help/comfort the ones that are suffering with panic disorder please? I would be so grateful
Another good one. It’s about doing things that you value while the brain keeps throwing shit at you isn’t it ?
Not all heroes wear capes 🙏❤️
This video has helped me so much
Thanks for your videos Nathan!
My panic attacks usually consist of numbness, extreme tightening of all of my limb and chest muscles, gasping for air, and extreme hand pain due to my finger muscles getting so tight that they form fists and I’m unable to move them. I will usually be tired after and my hands will shake tremendously when I try to lift them up.
hello, i'm mel..first i wanna thank you so much for sharing because this helped me feel less alone as most of the time people don't understand what i'm feeling🥺 and i truly wish you nothing but the best. second, i was wondering if I could post your story (anonymously ofc) on my instagram page where i use my platform to raise awareness and help people feel less alone💜
This is crazy. These are the exact set of symptoms I experience when I have panic attacks. I thought I was reading a comment written by myself. Love you, all strength to you and since I'm two years late to find this comment, hope you are feeling great 💞
@@darlingladymoon the weird thing is, after I wrote this comment, it could’ve even been later that very day, I went to the hospital because I was having this weird issue with compulsive movements that was causing my body extreme discomfort, lightheadedness and fatigue. I’m not going to get into specifics but that incident led me down a long road that would eventually get me a diagnosis of Tourette’s. After 16 years on this earth, most of which accompanied by unwanted movements or vocalizations, I finally had an answer to what was probably the biggest contributor to my panic attacks. My panic attacks were their own thing, but they may have come from years of judgment from both my peers and my family. I would be shamed for them and I never knew why I did the things that I did, all while they caused me physical pain non-stop. I was a prisoner in my own body, and I had no explanation. All I could do was move forward and take it one day at a time. Eventually your kinda get used to it but it never completely stops being a problem, and getting used to it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ok with it and that it should stay the way it is. At least in my case I wasn’t ok with it but I didn’t really know how to describe what I was going through so I had no real way to recognize that it wasn’t normal. I was told that everybody went through the same things I did, but in my head I knew that it was different. But I didn’t really have a choice in weather or not I could change it or not. I just kinda lived through every day. In January of 2021 I wrote this comment, and later that January I went to the hospital because my tics had gotten so bad, and I didn’t know what they were. I went as a last ditch effort to save myself from the pain. I hoped they could put me to sleep and let my body rest. Luckily they did, but it would still be a few more months of wondering and arguing with my parents (who thought that Tourette’s was a mental disorder that didn’t necessarily need a doctors diagnosis to start treatment) before I got my answer. It’s crazy that two years later someone commented on this. I am about to graduate high school. People still make fun of me for my tics a lot but I’m undergoing treatment for them and my anxiety. I have not had a panic attack like the one I described in over a year. I have learned a lot about myself over these past couple of years. I have many friends who accept me and stand by me when my peers cast judgment, and overall I am a lot happier.
@@thatclassysheep1244 oh wow I'm so happy to hear that you're happy and that you finally got it figured out
I have them constant or random. Overbreathing and ocd. Fatigue all the time.
Same here. Breathing is always something i worry im doing too little of. So i make myself think about my breathing to much. Which in turn if my breathing seems off then i panic.
@@joerodriguez9808 oh yes breathing is my main trigger. Can't tell if I'm breathing or when i do it feels odd or out of rhythm. I suffer bad nasal congestion which me sniffle or overbreath too much. I can't snap out of it.
Lol the music. Great video!
Thanks so much for your videos Nathan. You're the Best!!
Im afraid of just about everything. Im afraid of being a schizophrenic, and hearing voices etc, so whenever someone talks i hear it echo, like my brain is TRYING to scare me, im afraid of being on a spinning ball, sometimes my brain convinces me i can feel the earth spinning, sometimes i feel as if im upside down and that i could fall into the sky, causing me to stay inside, and never look up when im outside, sometime i feel like the food i eat is a drug and that if i eat it ill feel weird, and im afraid of being on drugs, from a traumatic experience w/ weed, so i randomly feel like it. Im 14 and i just want to feel like everyone around me. I can't hang out with anyone not even my family, without feeling anxious, i just wanna have a good time again. I was diagnosed with PTSD when i was younger, because of trauma. I need help but im scared of medication. Please help me.

I've been stuck for 20 yrs because despite knowing how to correctly respond to a panic attack, I can't myself to voluntarily push myself to have one. Most of the time when my brain saying hey this might cause an attack, I'm like "I really don't feel like feeling horrible right now, I got enough problems" and I avoid doing that activity. I wish there was something that would allow me to do it (ie self EPR). Suggestions?
I love your videos you've helped me so much I was having one in church and I did what you said ohh well bring it on I started laughing at them..I don't fear them I do excerises to bring them on..you're so funny

My partner has what he calls panic attacks but I'm not sure they are because he ends up on the floor or bed, rolling around, kicking, fidgeting, hyperventilating, screaming. To me these are not signs of a panic attack other than the hyperventilating. Can someone please confirm so i know how to help if they are? I'd appreciate it!
I have an intense fear of death, when i go to sleep I fear ill die on my sleep so I panick, or when I go outside I feel like I cant understand reality or why I am here and it makes me have also intense panick attacks, i feel like i need to grab into objects or something and sit down or else I will disapear , it is the most intense fear and its frequent when i go outside or when i am standing up for too long, I have been having issiues even with therapy dealing with the intense fear, I am not sure if I could get some advice I would apreciate it. I have a horrible fear of the idea of not existing after death.
Idk during my panic attacks i hit myself obsessively, should i just continue and ride it out?

My friend cuts her wrists when she have panic attacks,how can I stop her?
Is this helpful for PTSD?
what is the formal treatment when ocd like thinking is caused by or causing some of cue panic attack symptomes. With ocd you recommend do not engaged purposely in the theme, but when the theme triggers panic like symptoms then for panic you recommend to revisit the situation that triggers it. That would mean for people to re-engage into the theme and just feed the ocd. It is a bit of a contradiction. Also one might get confused when using this acting like you enjoying the panic symptoms when caused by one ot the more guilt-filled ocd themes that woudl trigger another layer of ocd inside the panic an become more of the meta. Is there some general approach to not get lost in the approaches presented on your channel? thx
Hi! I would like to ask if it is really needed to see a psychiatrist for medication after experiencing first anxiety attack? Thank youu so much!

*Question*- what is depression, anxiety, panic attacks *?*🤔
*Answer*- _when_ we thinking so much about 1 topic continuously and specially so much negativity about 1 topic our brain🧠 it started to worry😰 and our serta(it's like a gland which helps us to fight with fear) started to decrease and because of it we cannot stop🛑 the Negative inside our mind because of it our brain it started to take carbon dioxide instead of oxygen and send📩 it to whole body to heart 💓 so that's why it's very common to not breath in depression😪, panic attacks because our body it started to be confused😖and sending📩 carbon dioxide to heart❤️ and also it sends false☹️ commands to our brain🧠 that our hand✊ is paining,leg pain 🥺or many different pain even we didn't do any hard work👷. in some peoples👬 serta stop producing that's why we started to fear to do anything our confidence it started to be low📪 And we afraid😨 to go outside from home🏠 some people worried😰what if they driving car🚗 alone and suddenly they got panic attacks what if no one helped them or they died in car because of suffocation and some people they afraid from hight🗼,water💦, fire🔥 etc no worries if you are facing this problem then talk to me for free no fee nothing

the different "kinds" of OCD aren't so much as "kinds" but they're more like different "sections" of your OCD. If you have OCD you have it, the thoughts that have to do with harm, sexuality, morality, ideology could change throughout a patient's life and therefore it is much more important to tackle the OCD itself.
Olcay thank you so much. really.
