Having such a horrible and long-lasting pain end all of the sudden must have been overwhelming. I remember something similar happening to me once my medication kicked in after 6 weeks and I felt relief from my anxiety disorder.

Anxiety isn’t a diagnosis it’s a way you perceive your life. Meds don’t fix anxiety good habits and a good mindset no matter what hand life deals you is how you deal with anxiety.
@@WobbaFett9001 I have a younger brother that has been suffering from a mental health issue since he was in middle school (in his mid 30s now). We've been able to mitigate it and make it somewhat better, but he is still suffering, and a physical feeling of overwhelming anxiety is what triggers horrible depressive episodes that can last days; often resulting in intrusive thoughts and thoughts of suicide. He often complains that he's tired of the pain because it's been going on for so long. I read your comment and couldn't help but to hope you may have a new avenue for my brother to explore. Does any of this sound familiar? What medication worked for you? We've tried a couple but they didn't work.
@@GnarlyFeats Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear that about your brother. I was in a somewhat similar situation before my treatment started. What worked for me was Lexapro, but I know everyone is different so that may not work for your brother. I would try different ones until one works. I know that's very annoying but sometimes it's the only thing you can do. Also, I would advise your brother not to drink. A couple drinks is alright but drinking too often will make his anxiety wayyyyyyyy worse
These kind of injuries are very scary. Thankfully he is okay now, but still a freak accident in any point during the game. It was also great to see the fans at PNC Park be very classy and hoping that the pitcher was okay.
Nathan DiNickle gtk thank you. Of course I’m only seeing this at the end of 2019. I hope there are no long term consequences for him bc of this. Sports have risks- take care everyone
Regardless of the uniform, when something like this happens, everyone is concerned. You don't want to see injuries, especially like that. Damn. I'm surprised he is still alive.
Selena xx I have seen a few comments like yours. What I don't understand is, why would anyone think that any opposing stadium fans would want to see anyone seriously hurt? This is just a game that is supposed to be a ( family ) outing sport, am I right? So logic would say that you would react to any injury in a caring way. Right?
Because in some other sports and/or countries the fans are sick enough to celebrate accidents like this, that's why i think the baseball fans are the best.
John Williamson you'd be supprised. Ive seen some comments on other injuries where the were saying like "when i saw this happen, i was celebrating." "He deserved it." Other shit like that. People are idiots now a days.

@@austynreagan8072 if you hit you head really hard your brain goes in a state of trying to preserve conciousness, quite literally survival mode activates.

How did that not kill him!? I’ve see. This video 100 times and I still can’t believe how flush that got him. 101 mph baseball to the side of the head. Wow.
Always scary when someone’s body goes on “fight or flight autopilot” after a blow to the head. I played hockey all through my childhood and teen years and seeing someone go like rigid from being knocked out is awful.
I absolutely love how the guy that hit the ball looks so scared for the other player he hit. Even though they are opposite teams he still shows concern.
@@sarahleroy465 ...No, not technically wrong, but it seems like you think most players wouldn't have any concern for the guy they just beaned in the head bc they're on the other team
Had a concussion in football and it was a very surreal experience. I could walk and everything but I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. No cognizance of how I was still able to move around. Like my being, my soul left. A hour later, on the ride back home, I started sobbing uncontrollably off and on for no reason. Scary experience
This is the exact same reaction I had to a concussion in football. Full speed helmet to helmet on a kickoff, stunner me. Tossed my helmet right and just started walking, only had about 30% and was seeing the wrong ass colors, couldn’t hear. But all of a sudden(snap) everything was normal again
So grateful he turned out okay, this was super scary. The fans are amazing for their ovation to him the only thing you have to be careful of when someone gets hit in the head is too much noise. It can be hard on the brain if you have a concussion.
That look on his face was the brain trying to come back to reality after such a traumatic impact, almost like a deer getting caught in the headlights. Hope this kid is okay 👏
They need to design a helmet that provides as little interference while still giving decent protection for pitchers like they're the guys that get the least amount of time to react to the ball since they're so close like bruh
Alex Gonzalez but nowhere in my feed is anything related to baseball. I’ve never looked up a ⚾️ or bat. So showing me this isn’t gonna entice me to watch
I don' t know why I watch this stuff. It is just crazy how these guys get nailed and keep moving. He was looking for the ball! Dude was on another planet.
Man that’s scary. Thank God Salty ran out and helped him down to a knee. If he fell and hit his head after being struck by that ball, it could’ve been very serious. Maybe life threatening. That’s why the comebacker is still the one of the scariest plays in all of sports.
Unlike when the pitcher beans a batter the batter can't control where it goes off the bat. That pitcher got cracked real bad and didn't know where he was at all
Had this happen to me in the batting cages throwing bp. Felt like the ball went straight through my head and that it was about to explode. I remember gripping the sides of my head with my hands, almost like keeping it from exploding. Scariest feeling of my life
Especially after last night. 06-15-2019 Sean Newcombe with the Braves took a comebacker off the back of his head/neck. The ball went into the air and landed in netting behind the dugout
That was horrible. Glad hes okay. In other words, the shortstop caught the ball in the air after it bounced off his head and it never touched the ground. Crazy.
I played baseball for 15 years and I've had my share of injuries. Yes, there's lots of protective equipment that can help deter severe injuries but as a former player most of these things are bulky and uncomfortable. It's not just about looks it's also about comfort in different situations.
The ball flew so high after it hit his head, that really puts the speed in perspective. Hard to watch these clips, but I love the sport it's just dangerous sometimes.
I've NEVER in my ENTIRE life seen someone get cracked so f'n hard that they seize AND get knocked out all while still standing up! GOT DAAAAAAYUM that boy got muffed up! In all seriousness though, I hope he ended up being alright with no permanent damage
I had a ball hit me in the side of the head once and all I saw was white for like 30 seconds. People kept asking me if I was ok. I couldn't move or talk everything was pure white. When I could see again I was able to talk. Its like being stuck in limbo. So I kinda know what he went through.
Every pitchers worst nightmare. After pitching from Little League through college Ive had my fair share of close ones and every single one of them will make your heart skip a beat followed by a huge rush of adrenaline. Luckily Ive only had one skim my ear and not made full contact like this. Glad he ended up being okay. Keep your head on a swivel up there boys, and may your reflexes be fast.
The catcher at first base, his reaction and response at 00:25 was on point. After seeing him get hit, he dashed over threw off his mask without a second thought.
That is not a catcher that's a first baseman. They have no mask and he was dashing to first base because the ball got hit and that's what you're supposed to do in baseball
Paramedics only move people when they are stable... if they arent they are not gonna risk moving a person as it might create more damage to that person..
I know how that feels. Happened to me two years ago and I would black out a few times over a couple of days. Scary as hell when your brain suffers trauma like that
I'm assuming what he thought was that if he got hit his best bet is to immediately get up and try and stand up to avoid passing out but the adrenaline wore off so quickly and he just couldn't stay up.
I think he tried to keep himself from passing out so he tried to get up quickly but right away the adrenaline wore off, the pain kicked in and his body couldn’t take the hit. He eventually passed out.
That was me at 6 years old playing backyard baseball. I can only imagine a professional baseball swing....ugh. props to that man for taking that ball to the head and still be coherent. Bravo.
If you’ve ever been hit by a baseball at that speed, you know how he feels. Your mind goes blank, and for a second or two you seem to go unconscious. It’s absolutely terrifying.
That’s all they had to take a player with a head injury off the field? A groundskeeper’s vehicle? Sitting up? Head and neck unsupported? Was this in 2014 or 1914?
He got hit in the head with a baseball he didnt jam his neck against the wall, it was a blunt force injury not a collision between 2 players the head and neck support was not needed
The chances of paralysis from that type of injury are extremely low. Im speculating here but he most likely refused the collar and backboard if they did suggest it to him. He just wanted to get off the field.
I was actually in the stadium when that happened, I was younger and wasn’t paying attention and thought it was just a pop fly wondering what happened. Crazy to see it now all these years later
I’m here today pitching ESPN 4 1/2. I hope you’ll invest. What is it you ask? Highlights 4 1/2 years late. Not the night of. Not the next day. No. 4 1/2 Years later.

Seeing him scramble around on the ground throwing his gear off is terrifying. The blank stare he has on his face immediately after is so spooky.
Why?
I think they said he was KO'd and his body was moving on its own?
I remember watching this game on TV and was scared for the guy...
@@lilredwagon5311 yeh, that’s what it looks like, and he started to fall down when he came to.
Like a wounded animal that just got hit by a car or something. Just pure reflex and instincts. Scary.
His reaction is so spooky. He threw off his hat and glove like his body was quitting the sport for him.
That analogy is spooky and should be pinned. This stuff is hard to watch
Lmao
His body gave up before he can even think what hit him
@canuckguy worried the brain cells were quiting for him he even had to bend over for them to do mitosis 🤣😭
His balance is off definitely from the impact. What made. It worse was him getting up immediately after the hit. He should've stayed down and let it subside
His blank stare afterwards gave me chills. I googled him and am glad to see he recovered and pitched for 5 more years after this.
Outstanding
6 years later, and this is still the gnarliest hit I think I've ever seen anyone take! Brutal.

I think he tried to keep himself from passing out so he tried to get up quickly but right away the adrenaline wore off, the pain kicked in and his body couldn’t take the hit. He eventually passed out.
Concussions are scary.
That was me at 6 years old playing backyard baseball. I can only imagine a professional baseball swing....ugh. props to that man for taking that ball to the head and still be coherent. Bravo.
This is why every player on the field should wear a helmet
Trainer: Are you okay?
Pitcher: I’m fine Uncle Paul, remind James and Rachel that the chocolate cones are 2 for 99 cents.
Trainer: 👁👄👁
I don't even watch Baseball why is this recommended
God damn.......now I know what my face looked like when I lost my memory a few years back holy shit.
Don’t use Gods name in vain
@@Hituvuvuvu goddam it why not?
That's why I love baseball, class by the fans and other team!
The hang time on that ball shows how fast it was going. Amazing.
If you’ve ever been hit by a baseball at that speed, you know how he feels. Your mind goes blank, and for a second or two you seem to go unconscious. It’s absolutely terrifying.

- "There are four lights!"
"Eight birds flying in circles."
Damn spoon heads.
That’s all they had to take a player with a head injury off the field? A groundskeeper’s vehicle? Sitting up? Head and neck unsupported? Was this in 2014 or 1914?
He got hit in the head with a baseball he didnt jam his neck against the wall, it was a blunt force injury not a collision between 2 players the head and neck support was not needed
The chances of paralysis from that type of injury are extremely low. Im speculating here but he most likely refused the collar and backboard if they did suggest it to him. He just wanted to get off the field.
He's lucky to be alive. Thanks youtube for the yearly recommendation of this video
So his consciousness was sent to another dimension??!!! That’s just wild asf
Pitchers hat should have some kind of shield inside of it.

Why am I seeing this now? 4 yrs later I hope he's okay
At least I know why youtube could think I wanted to see this in 2019.
I was actually in the stadium when that happened, I was younger and wasn’t paying attention and thought it was just a pop fly wondering what happened. Crazy to see it now all these years later
He was definitely out on his feet
I’m here today pitching ESPN 4 1/2. I hope you’ll invest. What is it you ask? Highlights 4 1/2 years late. Not the night of. Not the next day. No. 4 1/2 Years later.
Miller Theory 5 years for me.
RUclips Algorithm: A highlight’s a highlight!
It hit his head so hard it turned from a lime drive to a pop fly
"Oh, that's awful. You never want to see that happen. Let's watch the replay. Now, in slow motion. "
THAT BALL HIT HIS GLOVE AND BOUNCED OFF AT THE LAST SECOND, HE WAS NEVER HIT IN THE HEAD!!!
Thank God, he is okay.
