Hi Mayra, once you practice this, you will be amazed what happens when a panic attack does come on. Panic attacks are the scariest feelings and this video helped me so much Cutting out coffee also lowered my anxiety levels, don't give up, keep watching the video so you can prepare yourself if you feel a panic attack come on
This video changed my life more than anything ever has en maybe ever will, i dont fear anything any more, im in control of my mind my body and my destiny. Bless u and stay strong
Hey guys. One thing that I always found helpful when I was struggling with panic attacks was to stop calling them panic attacks! I know it sounds silly but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. What you’re going through is the fight or flight response, that’s it. If you’re telling yourself that you’re under attack, then of course you’re going to get nervous, that’s what the fight or flight response is for, for dealing with attacks and threats. Instead, I used to think of them as an adrenaline rushes. A burst of energy that’s triggered because your subconscious mind is perceiving danger, even though there is none. I know it can sound silly but that wording has a huge effect on how you perceive your experience. After taking out the negative inference that the word attack brings, i changed my view of what I was experiencing. I told myself that people pay lots of money for this kind of rush. They jump of building, play extreme sports, chase tornados, whatever. The point is that once I took away a lot of the scariness of it, I actually learned to love that rush of juice and from that point on recovery came pretty quickly. I hope that you guys found this useful. If you did, I keep a youtube channel where I share my advice and experience overcoming panic attacks. There are two main things that I focus on with my channel: specific, actionable advice that you can use in your day to day and creating hope that overcoming chronic panic attacks can be done. You’re welcome to check it out and best of luck!
I had panic attacks 4 years and this video saved my life. Now, I am a medical doctor and I used to have panic attacks during oral reporting and this video taught me how to deal with it.
I know what you mean, I used to get panic attacks all the time and then I realized I was getting them because I was scared of them. If there's no fear they occur less often and when it does happen it goes away quickly if you just accept it not fear it. Its weird how powerful our minds are. Glad your feeling better buddy
This is the ONLY true way out because you're permanently removing the fear of the panic attack as you have it, eventually U won't fear it anymore because you'll already know you can just use this method
This is honestly by far the best exercise I've found online for this, and I've tried many. I was shocked by how well it worked. Not only does it end an episode of anxiety fast, it also changes your entire outlook towards the sensations. It makes you feel as though you're in charge of it when its usually the other way around, which subsequently reduces the changes of another episode . Many thanks to uploader
Had my first panic attack ever today. Literally thought I was going to die. Your video helped me work my way through it. Thank you so much for posting this.
I want to say that if you want to deal with panic attacks you ll have to change several things in your daily life! (it sounds hard but it worked for me) First of all you have to start doing a balanced life! For example if u eating too much eat less, if u smoking or drinking too much avoid it or keep doing it but try to balance it! If u spend the most of your day doing nothing and keep thinking about panic attacks try to do little things that makes you happy like washing your car or taking your dog for a walk! I think our biggest mistake is that we keep living in missery and thinking we are ''sick'' or something like that! But thats wrong, we are normal people! My opinion on how to defeat that great enemy is not to fight it but forget just like that,just wake up one day and its gone just like how it came from nothing from nowhere!
My chest hurts, yesterday I was in a funeral, I had again a panic attack. I was horrible, My heart was beating so fast! I was scared, and thought I woyuld die. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem :)
I had one that was like the panic attack you described. It was a life-changing moment for me because its intensity was so bad that it got me to think about where my life was at that point and to make some necessary changes. I've only had a small handful of panic attacks since, but they can be truly terrifying when they happen, even though I know that they most likely won't kill or hurt me.
I've suffered from panic attacks for years and years and this is the only thing that helped me. They've gone away like the flick of a switch. Thank you sir!
Hi Zero, I suggest to watch this video over and over again, it does work the last panic attack I had started to come on pretty strong (you know what that is like) what I did was deep breath slow and tell myself it is okay to let it come on. What I notice is it subsided. This video does work, Also, if you drink coffee, this can bring on panic attacks even more
thing is it will not harm u, its just gonna feel like shit but that will certainly pass. Of course dont do what you are not ready for but if in facing it there is a chance to eliminate it and no real harm will come to you, its gotta be worth a shot. Just in your own time.
The first time i did this, i was absolutely terrified because i had gotten so used to suppressing it that my body had forgotten what a full on panic attack felt like. This is a much better way to get over a panic attack than trying to hide it and hope it goes away. This is so important, very helpful.
I had two situations of this feeling in one week, it's terrible, never felt anything like it in my life. I started naturally doing this technique in the video just because I was sick and tired of all the fear of nothing at all and wow it does work, heart slowed to normal and felt pretty decent. Good luck to you all, I know we can conquer this stuff!
You have to embrace the rush of energy and not run from it. I used to suffer from the absolute worst, chronic panic attacks. They literally ruined my life for years. Fortunately I did overcome them by learning to love the rush of adrenaline. Now I'm in grad school now for psyche and hope to help others going through what I once went through. I also put up videos on my channel where I try and offer advice and answer questions so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to talk.
im having a panic attack right now i cant sleep and im holding my stethoscope and my bp..goshh i felt like im going to have a heart attack...i feel a little relieve by watching this....
i have panic attacks... they are so so scary. thank you. i have never been so scared, and i cry so much from fear and depression.. but now i'm crying because i know how to control it better. bless you for this
What is working for me, is insulting my panic attack. I always say "Come on Mother @#$! Is that everything you can do to me?? Bring me more! You wont ruin my life with these stupid symptoms! go on!"
thank you I watched this while I was having a horrible severe panic attack and I fought it off. I've been dealing with this for the past 2 days and I was starting to feel hopeless and crazy, I really thought I was having a mental BREAKDOWN but now I know what to do and am beyond grateful for these tips. I've been denying medication cuz I wanted to deal with this naturally.
Everyday, no matter where I am at, I will get dizzy and light headed, unable to concentrate, and kinda panicked. I can't drive for more than 5 minutes, I can't stay long in buildings especially with bright or florescent lighting, and I have to run outside, and sometimes it happens there. I'm never safe from myself, it's terrifying and it happens 10, 20, 30 sometimes more times a day, everyday. I'm here trying to understand it. I'll try to technique next time I have an episode and see if it helps.
Yes, absolutely. Mine starts out with increased heart-beat, then stomach pains and nausea. The mental "OMG I HATE THIS!!!" starts right after the physical symptoms. It seems to be an erratic cycle between my heart, stomach and brain that spins a web of anxiety and mental cloudiness that takes over until I manage to calm down. Such an awful disorder to have. :(
I usually don't have fast heartbeats, i have problems breathing normally, i can't breathe and my body demands more and more oxigen so in this case what should i do? Same of this example? Sometimes i have pain on my left arm and i think i can have a stroke. It is difficult to stay calm and "ask my body for more "
This video is so helpful. I had a panic attack just last night around 2:00am. I woke up from some kind of bad dream and just could feel my heart beat so fast it scared the hell out of me. It was the second panic attack I had in my life( the first one was two years ago). I felt so alone but now that I've seen this video I'm glad to know that I'm not alone and I can finally hold my head up high.
This works!!! I asked my mom why I get panic attacks everyday and she said it's because I'm a scary cat ! She was right You will all get better like I have !! :)
I'm nearly 13. I haven't been diagnosed with anxiety ,because i haven't told anyone but my friend who didn't take me seriously, but i have had a panic attack. My rs teacher made me stand at the front of the class and read my work out, as i was too quiet from my desk, but i hadn't written anything so i made up a few things and i started to get really scared and worried because i thought that as i was reading everyone was judging me. I could here my heart beat without putting my hand to my chest and i felt like i was about to cry. No one even cared or noticed. When i went back to my desk i couldn't stop breathing heavily and my heart beat was still extremely fast and loud to me. It was the worst experience.
My panic attacks had gotten so bad that I couldn’t eat solid foods anymore through fear of choking... I couldn’t sleep because I was scared I’d stop breathing in my sleep and I couldn’t function because I was so exhausted from constantly panicking..... this one 4 minute video changed everything... if you really let it work and believe it can work it really does.... but allowing the panic to take over and saying cmon then hurry up, you are gaining control. By not fearing the panic attack, you do not panic... it changed my life thank you.
Best Video Ever !! Helped me A lot !! I had a problem where I would think my heart is going to stop so i panicked at least 8hours a day sometimes from when I wake up to 3 in the morning so I watched this video twice a day every morning and every night for 1week and everything has gone thanks !!!
The worst feeling is not being able to breath and catch your breath. Horrible, horrible feeling. Extremely scary. Thank you much for posting this video. I'll watch the others as well.
Thank you so much for these videos. Today I had my first panic attack while on holiday in a shopping centre. My partner thought I was crazy and it exacerbated my panic attack. The feelings your protagonist feels were my exact feelings. Being a guy and a nurse I never expected to feel like this. However, I feel like I am equipped to begin making a change for myself. Thank you again.
this vid helped me last night while i was going through a panic attack.. i didnt know what was going on so i found this video eventually and i'm so glad that i did
Wow. Listening to this video really made me think because it seems so counter-intuitive to actually demand more of the very thing that makes you feel so bad - panic attacks. But I learnt something here - by allowing the feelings to wash over you, and by not fighting those feelings, you actually release them from within you, and they lose the control they once had over you. To me (it might not seem much) this was an eye opener. Thank you
Yes this is amazing.... After reading the comments, I am so happy... I thought I was the only one, I had my first panic attack last week and I am 34 years old... LOL a comment read's "If I die, I die, thats it, no more, no less" This is like Kurt Cobain....
PLEASE. I habe watched this while having panic attacks, and this STOPS THEM from developing into a monster. Remember thatthere is no danger, thats what helped me the most. And imagine that panic attack as a black cloud thats “scary”, walk into it and notice how it does is scary, but NOT harmful or dangerous. Just uncomfortable. I watch this multiple times until I feel better. U actually, feel a lot more confident about panic attacks
Please, anyone suffering from anxiety or panic attacks should give the 7/11 Breathing Technique a try. It's the only thing I've found that can stop a panic attack in its tracks and/or bring down my anxiety levels. Search on UA-cam for a number of videos that explain the 7/11 Breathing technique. And remember, you're really NOT alone in this.
I have a problem with the "embracing" part... Because every time it happens to me i don´t know if it is a panic attack or a heart attack. I´ve never had a heart attack in my life but that´s the first thing that comes to mind whenever i get one of these attacks. So it´s really hard for me to keep calm enough to embrace the sensation
This video just helped me greatly. Because today I got my first panic attack@ age 16. I was freaking out it kept me up all night but it is gone thanks to this video. It is still lingering but it is not intense. So thank you very much
Thank u for this video. I get horrible panic attacks that terrify me. Next time i get one i wll try this technique, because i always always always try to resist them and push the thoughts away and i think i make it a hundred times worse by doing that.
I feel like Im constantly hanging on to what I know is real and normal, and that if i relax for a second I will have an attack. I have this every minute of every day. you are not alone
This is so helpful. Thank you for helping so many people around the world! I really realized that I fear from the fear itself, to have this sensation. But now I just let it go...I let my body to do whatever, and it's less intense.
Thank you for this video. I am less scared. I had one panic attack and now I have nonstop anxiety that it will happen again. But now I know not to fight it just let it come and accept it and they'll go away. Quit resisting. So happy to know I am not alone or crazy. Good luck to everyone else experiencing these, you will get trough it!
Ashwaghanda has helped me with panic attacks. Search for the root cause. In my case it was caused by metal toxicity, specifically mercury. I learnt mercury affected my adrenals resulting in these horrible episodes. I pray you find relieve soon. God bless.
This works. The technique is simple, as shown, but it is daunting to do the opposite to what one always has done i.e. try to fight or avoid the feelings. I can only say it worked for me and it worked in seconds. I was totally desperate so maybe I got lucky with such an immediate turn-around, maybe others might have to give it a few goes before getting it. My experience was like a balloon deflating, with all the feelings of high anxiety just melting away into a calm I haven't felt in years
I was just having a panic attack that was so hard I thought I wouldnt get through the night. I could barely breathe. I it was the worst one I ever had and I never thought a 4 minute video would get me throw it. THANKYOU SO MUCH
I've always dealt with anxiety to a degree, but after being put on new medication for unrelated reasons, I have been getting full blown panic attacks. This is good to know. Thank you so much.
Had a full on panic attack in the middle of a Board meeting when presenting. The most awful experience as I couldn’t hide anywhere. Had to ride it out live in front of an audience.
Ive gotten to the point where I just get angry every time I have an attack... because its so often and inconvenient. 4-7-8 breathing has been working miracles for me.
I'm prone to panic attacks. My very first one was on Mother's Day 2001. I remember waking up with a feeling of dread that morning, like something bad was going to happen. It got to the point where I was hyperventilating, crying uncontrollably, shaking, sweating, and when my husband (fiance at the time) and my friend tried to calm me, I turned and unintentionally slapped my friend in the face out of fear and panic. It was awful. I hope I NEVER experience another one ever again. :(
I did this yesterday before watching this video. I was at a clinical site and leaving like I would normally do would have consequences so I sat back and just let the terror run through. It was so hard, but this video is 100% correct. After 10 mins, and sweat dripping from my palms, i felt normal again, and relieved I didn't bail out. It's hard but a very rewarding feeling.
wow this really helped me. I've tried many different ways but this actually made it stop. I feel more calm than i've done for a long while after this. Thanks alot!
Breath normal or halfway between what your body wants and relaxed. Through the nose. Maybe try singing with some Jack Johnson. Once you've identified some triggers, its best to ignore them. Focusing and fearing the trigger may make it worse. You can stroke the back of your neck and or stroke your hair, this calms mammals. Think of puppies. A good simple meditation practice is: Breath in and feel happiness, breath out and feel peace. Its ok to smile during this. Or maybe its just gas. lol Dune: Do not fear. Fear is the mind killer. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. :) :p
the problem with music is that it is distracting, you're not moving through it and fully acknowledging it. I found, accepting and giving in to it helps me, when I've really been upset. During the first stages of grief this can work. Accepting the rise of adrenaline. It's truly something you must experience before you can have any idea of how truly terrifying it is. I have had one full blown panic attack. The thing is, the feelings can be so strange, they can take on any form. You will get through it, if you're reading this feeling lost and helpless. Holding a pillow to your chest can help the hollow ache just beneath your heart. As time passes, you'll learn to recognize the symptoms. One of things which anxiety reminds me of, is to treat my self with more care and kindness. Treat your self like you would a friend, is a good analogy. :)
This is what I do and have done for years. It’s something I learned on my own. It doesn’t work for everyone bc anxiety is a result of many different things. But it works for me
Thank you so much for this! I had a feeling a panic attack coming on and just listening to the voice and doing what he's saying made everything just 10x better thank you so so much!
Today in about an hour I will have to perform in front of people so hopefully this technique works and I don't freak out. I have a bad case of stage fright.
This is beautiful, this is what all the spirituality is telling us too, there is only one thing, this isnt success this is loosing :) we have been taught by our society that we always need to win. but no sometimes you need to surrender, you need to loose and loose again and feel the joy of loosing by not resisting what is.
I tried this method only this morning and ive been suffering panic attack for almost a month now. This really helps im so excited to be free from anxiety/ panic again😀😀
I just watched this while having a panic attack and it really worked.... Amazing!
Am I the only one who get really nauseous when having a panic attack?
Nope!
No, I had same problem so you aren't the only one
no, i do too! hope your panic attacks get better love. i wish them on no one x
no I do too! its the worst. lots of love and health. i wish panic attacks on no one x
No not at all
Changed my life I go by a saying " If I die, I die, thats it, no more, no less"
Has also worked for me, my last panic attack, I could feel it coming on and I told myself it was okay, it just slowly went away
Crossed Out Bones nobody will die from this it's nothing to be afraid of we can control it ☺ god bless
I agree. It is the only thing that works for me. Its worked for me for a major surgery and during a panic attack.
That's high level.
Crossed Out Bones for
Whenever my anxiety gets bad I always go to a dark room and listen to this video, you have affected my life greatly thank you.
I do the exact same thing
Same. So much it makes me want to cry.

I've had panic attacks. It feels like a sense of desperation at times.
Exercise helps
Exactly!
Panic attacks feeds on your fear. When you have no more fear, anxiety has no more fuel and simply vanishes.
I want to say that if you want to deal with panic attacks you ll have to change several things in your daily life! (it sounds hard but it worked for me) First of all you have to start doing a balanced life! For example if u eating too much eat less, if u smoking or drinking too much avoid it or keep doing it but try to balance it! If u spend the most of your day doing nothing and keep thinking about panic attacks try to do little things that makes you happy like washing your car or taking your dog for a walk!

I've only had a small handful of panic attacks since, but they can be truly terrifying when they happen, even though I know that they most likely won't kill or hurt me.
The problem with this is that when I have a panic attack, I can't think of all these rules...I'm in panic!!!
I've suffered from panic attacks for years and years and this is the only thing that helped me. They've gone away like the flick of a switch. Thank you sir!
this is the best way to deal with a panic attack...works for me all the time
I'm worried that I'm not brave enough to face the level of fear I'm going to experience.
Hi Zero, I suggest to watch this video over and over again, it does work the last panic attack I had started to come on pretty strong (you know what that is like) what I did was deep breath slow and tell myself it is okay to let it come on.

ZeroSumJ1
You are.
ZeroSumJ1 Same!
I'm going to try this. But I am entering day 3 of heightened anxiety and panic. I'm exhausted.
The first time i did this, i was absolutely terrified because i had gotten so used to suppressing it that my body had forgotten what a full on panic attack felt like. This is a much better way to get over a panic attack than trying to hide it and hope it goes away. This is so important, very helpful.
This video has gotten me though so much for so long. I just want you to know I truly appreciate you.
This technique worked with me ... thanks a lot , I’ve done it 4 times and panic attacks stopped completely 2 years ago
Really good.I beated my 3 years anxiety with this fear facing therapy.Amazing. Appreciate the video.
I had two situations of this feeling in one week, it's terrible, never felt anything like it in my life. I started naturally doing this technique in the video just because I was sick and tired of all the fear of nothing at all and wow it does work, heart slowed to normal and felt pretty decent. Good luck to you all, I know we can conquer this stuff!
You have to embrace the rush of energy and not run from it. I used to suffer from the absolute worst, chronic panic attacks. They literally ruined my life for years.

I also put up videos on my channel where I try and offer advice and answer questions so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to talk.
This is brilliant! When you embrace the unreal fear you feel more powerful! Thanks for changing my life!!!!! ❤️
im having a panic attack right now i cant sleep and im holding my stethoscope and my bp..goshh i felt like im going to have a heart attack...i feel a little relieve by watching this....
I hope you’re feeling better :)
It’s so brave to embrace the symptoms without fear. I’m not quite there yet but I’m working on it
i have panic attacks... they are so so scary. thank you. i have never been so scared, and i cry so much from fear and depression.. but now i'm crying because i know how to control it better. bless you for this
It worked twice for me so far. That's two times more than I thought it would!
What is working for me, is insulting my panic attack. I always say "Come on Mother @#$! Is that everything you can do to me?? Bring me more! You wont ruin my life with these stupid symptoms! go on!"
This was one the first videos I watched after I got my first panic attack. Even up to this day it still helps.
I want to thank you and all your videos. Im on the road to recovery from 15 years of depression and anxiety
Sadly this is the only tool that helps me stop an anxiety attack.. but im grateful to at least have this its really life changing!
Thank you so much - I found this as I was on the cusp of a panic attack and it really worked.
if he was there while I was having a panic attack! his voice is sooooo soothing!
yes this really does work. my panic attacks are gettin better now because of this.
thank you I watched this while I was having a horrible severe panic attack and I fought it off. I've been dealing with this for the past 2 days and I was starting to feel hopeless and crazy, I really thought I was having a mental BREAKDOWN but now I know what to do and am beyond grateful for these tips. I've been denying medication cuz I wanted to deal with this naturally.
This "Ask your body for more" was THE THING for me.
Everyday, no matter where I am at, I will get dizzy and light headed, unable to concentrate, and kinda panicked. I can't drive for more than 5 minutes, I can't stay long in buildings especially with bright or florescent lighting, and I have to run outside, and sometimes it happens there. I'm never safe from myself, it's terrifying and it happens 10, 20, 30 sometimes more times a day, everyday. I'm here trying to understand it. I'll try to technique next time I have an episode and see if it helps.
+Dillon Allen when your new to panic attacks it is especially hard understanding what is going on and controlling the attacks. hope you feel better.
Dillon Allen same 😭😭
Dillon Allen
Give me an update good sir. How's it going after 2 years?
Did anything helped you?
Dillon Allen did Barry's technique help? Works wonders for me, bro!
Yes, absolutely. Mine starts out with increased heart-beat, then stomach pains and nausea. The mental "OMG I HATE THIS!!!" starts right after the physical symptoms. It seems to be an erratic cycle between my heart, stomach and brain that spins a web of anxiety and mental cloudiness that takes over until I manage to calm down. Such an awful disorder to have. :(
I usually don't have fast heartbeats, i have problems breathing normally, i can't breathe and my body demands more and more oxigen so in this case what should i do? Same of this example?
Sometimes i have pain on my left arm and i think i can have a stroke. It is difficult to stay calm and "ask my body for more "
This video is so helpful. I had a panic attack just last night around 2:00am. I woke up from some kind of bad dream and just could feel my heart beat so fast it scared the hell out of me. It was the second panic attack I had in my life( the first one was two years ago). I felt so alone but now that I've seen this video I'm glad to know that I'm not alone and I can finally hold my head up high.
This works!!!
I asked my mom why I get panic attacks everyday and she said it's because I'm a scary cat !
She was right
You will all get better like I have !! :)
I'm happy I'm not the one in the world with anxiety. My anxiety made me miss my flight, I was so embarrassed.
I have these all the time in class the only things that really helped me was to get up and walk around.
This helps me so much, watched it a lot over the years & if i watch it just before a panic attack I almost always manage to stop it!!! 🥰
I'm nearly 13. I haven't been diagnosed with anxiety ,because i haven't told anyone but my friend who didn't take me seriously, but i have had a panic attack. My rs teacher made me stand at the front of the class and read my work out, as i was too quiet from my desk, but i hadn't written anything so i made up a few things and i started to get really scared and worried because i thought that as i was reading everyone was judging me. I could here my heart beat without putting my hand to my chest and i felt like i was about to cry. No one even cared or noticed. When i went back to my desk i couldn't stop breathing heavily and my heart beat was still extremely fast and loud to me. It was the worst experience.
Me too! I think emotional stress is far more tiring than physical stress. An hour of it and I'm ready for bed. It just wears me out.
this seriously helped me during the grueling bar exams. many thanks!
My panic attacks had gotten so bad that I couldn’t eat solid foods anymore through fear of choking... I couldn’t sleep because I was scared I’d stop breathing in my sleep and I couldn’t function because I was so exhausted from constantly panicking..... this one 4 minute video changed everything... if you really let it work and believe it can work it really does.... but allowing the panic to take over and saying cmon then hurry up, you are gaining control. By not fearing the panic attack, you do not panic... it changed my life thank you.
I've started having panic attacks, sure I'm having a heart attack...every night. It's so scary. I'll try this.
This video cures my panic attacks for almost 13 years.
I have to say I agree. I wish I had this video in my life a lot sooner
Best Video Ever !! Helped me A lot !! I had a problem where I would think my heart is going to stop so i panicked at least 8hours a day sometimes from when I wake up to 3 in the morning so I watched this video twice a day every morning and every night for 1week and everything has gone thanks !!!
Everytime I have extreme anxiety ( very often ) I watch this video and always brings me back in control . Thank you panick away !
The worst feeling is not being able to breath and catch your breath. Horrible, horrible feeling. Extremely scary. Thank you much for posting this video. I'll watch the others as well.
Thank you so much for these videos. Today I had my first panic attack while on holiday in a shopping centre. My partner thought I was crazy and it exacerbated my panic attack. The feelings your protagonist feels were my exact feelings. Being a guy and a nurse I never expected to feel like this. However, I feel like I am equipped to begin making a change for myself. Thank you again.
this vid helped me last night while i was going through a panic attack.. i didnt know what was going on so i found this video eventually and i'm so glad that i did
best....video...ever...
cant believe i have not come across this before throughout the years of anxiety.
highly recommend to everyone!
I did this today at work, I cannot thank you enough Barry McDonagh.
Wow. Listening to this video really made me think because it seems so counter-intuitive to actually demand more of the very thing that makes you feel so bad - panic attacks. But I learnt something here - by allowing the feelings to wash over you, and by not fighting those feelings, you actually release them from within you, and they lose the control they once had over you. To me (it might not seem much) this was an eye opener. Thank you
Yes this is amazing.... After reading the comments, I am so happy... I thought I was the only one, I had my first panic attack last week and I am 34 years old...
LOL a comment read's "If I die, I die, thats it, no more, no less" This is like Kurt Cobain....
PLEASE. I habe watched this while having panic attacks, and this STOPS THEM from developing into a monster. Remember thatthere is no danger, thats what helped me the most. And imagine that panic attack as a black cloud thats “scary”, walk into it and notice how it does is scary, but NOT harmful or dangerous. Just uncomfortable. I watch this multiple times until I feel better. U actually, feel a lot more confident about panic attacks
Please, anyone suffering from anxiety or panic attacks should give the 7/11 Breathing Technique a try. It's the only thing I've found that can stop a panic attack in its tracks and/or bring down my anxiety levels. Search on UA-cam for a number of videos that explain the 7/11 Breathing technique. And remember, you're really NOT alone in this.
This is really helpful. I have several mild panic attacks a week, some lasting all day. I need to process my fears rather than fight them,
I have a problem with the "embracing" part... Because every time it happens to me i don´t know if it is a panic attack or a heart attack. I´ve never had a heart attack in my life but that´s the first thing that comes to mind whenever i get one of these attacks. So it´s really hard for me to keep calm enough to embrace the sensation
+CBL1979 it is very common for people to think its physical, it rarely is. hope you feel better.
This video just helped me greatly. Because today I got my first panic attack@ age 16. I was freaking out it kept me up all night but it is gone thanks to this video. It is still lingering but it is not intense. So thank you very much
Thank u for this video. I get horrible panic attacks that terrify me. Next time i get one i wll try this technique, because i always always always try to resist them and push the thoughts away and i think i make it a hundred times worse by doing that.
This actually worked. God bless you!
In 10+ years of attacks I've never heard it presented this way. I'm going to try this and hoping it works. Thank you so much.
I feel like Im constantly hanging on to what I know is real and normal, and that if i relax for a second I will have an attack. I have this every minute of every day. you are not alone
This is so helpful. Thank you for helping so many people around the world!
I really realized that I fear from the fear itself, to have this sensation. But now I just let it go...I let my body to do whatever, and it's less intense.
Thank you for this video. I am less scared. I had one panic attack and now I have nonstop anxiety that it will happen again. But now I know not to fight it just let it come and accept it and they'll go away. Quit resisting. So happy to know I am not alone or crazy. Good luck to everyone else experiencing these, you will get trough it!
Ashwaghanda has helped me with panic attacks. Search for the root cause. In my case it was caused by metal toxicity, specifically mercury. I learnt mercury affected my adrenals resulting in these horrible episodes. I pray you find relieve soon. God bless.
This works. The technique is simple, as shown, but it is daunting to do the opposite to what one always has done i.e. try to fight or avoid the feelings.
I can only say it worked for me and it worked in seconds. I was totally desperate so maybe I got lucky with such an immediate turn-around, maybe others might have to give it a few goes before getting it. My experience was like a balloon deflating, with all the feelings of high anxiety just melting away into a calm I haven't felt in years
"If something is going to happen, let it happen now." Good video, thank you.
I was just having a panic attack that was so hard I thought I wouldnt get through the night. I could barely breathe. I it was the worst one I ever had and I never thought a 4 minute video would get me throw it. THANKYOU SO MUCH
This video helps remind me when I’m lost in that moment of the anxiety rush and feeling intense.
WOW....I was just having a really bad panic attack, this video REALLY calmed me down, BIGTIME! Thank you!
I've always dealt with anxiety to a degree, but after being put on new medication for unrelated reasons, I have been getting full blown panic attacks. This is good to know. Thank you so much.
Had a full on panic attack in the middle of a Board meeting when presenting. The most awful experience as I couldn’t hide anywhere. Had to ride it out live in front of an audience.
Ive gotten to the point where I just get angry every time I have an attack... because its so often and inconvenient. 4-7-8 breathing has been working miracles for me.
I'm prone to panic attacks. My very first one was on Mother's Day 2001. I remember waking up with a feeling of dread that morning, like something bad was going to happen. It got to the point where I was hyperventilating, crying uncontrollably, shaking, sweating, and when my husband (fiance at the time) and my friend tried to calm me, I turned and unintentionally slapped my friend in the face out of fear and panic. It was awful. I hope I NEVER experience another one ever again. :(
this could be the best video i ever saw in my life
The worst feeling is that you know its temporary but still cant feel okay .
I did this yesterday before watching this video. I was at a clinical site and leaving like I would normally do would have consequences so I sat back and just let the terror run through. It was so hard, but this video is 100% correct. After 10 mins, and sweat dripping from my palms, i felt normal again, and relieved I didn't bail out. It's hard but a very rewarding feeling.
This video is amazing I was about to have my worst panic attack and with in 30 secs of this video it’s gone love who ever made this
It actually works you feel like your dieing but just know you wont die from it
wow this really helped me. I've tried many different ways but this actually made it stop. I feel more calm than i've done for a long while after this. Thanks alot!
This is a great video with very helpful tips! Thanks for posting it. We have shared it on our Facebook page as it will help many people.
I quit smoking because of my anxiety!
Breath normal or halfway between what your body wants and relaxed. Through the nose. Maybe try singing with some Jack Johnson. Once you've identified some triggers, its best to ignore them. Focusing and fearing the trigger may make it worse. You can stroke the back of your neck and or stroke your hair, this calms mammals. Think of puppies. A good simple meditation practice is: Breath in and feel happiness, breath out and feel peace. Its ok to smile during this. Or maybe its just gas. lol
Dune: Do not fear. Fear is the mind killer. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. :) :p
the problem with music is that it is distracting, you're not moving through it and fully acknowledging it. I found, accepting and giving in to it helps me, when I've really been upset. During the first stages of grief this can work. Accepting the rise of adrenaline. It's truly something you must experience before you can have any idea of how truly terrifying it is. I have had one full blown panic attack. The thing is, the feelings can be so strange, they can take on any form. You will get through it, if you're reading this feeling lost and helpless. Holding a pillow to your chest can help the hollow ache just beneath your heart. As time passes, you'll learn to recognize the symptoms. One of things which anxiety reminds me of, is to treat my self with more care and kindness. Treat your self like you would a friend, is a good analogy. :)
This is what I do and have done for years. It’s something I learned on my own. It doesn’t work for everyone bc anxiety is a result of many different things. But it works for me
Thank you for this critical info. I shared with family and friends... Many Blessings!
Thank you so much for this! I had a feeling a panic attack coming on and just listening to the voice and doing what he's saying made everything just 10x better thank you so so much!
Today in about an hour I will have to perform in front of people so hopefully this technique works and I don't freak out. I have a bad case of stage fright.
This is beautiful, this is what all the spirituality is telling us too, there is only one thing, this isnt success this is loosing :) we have been taught by our society that we always need to win. but no sometimes you need to surrender, you need to loose and loose again and feel the joy of loosing by not resisting what is.
This helped me while having a panic attack!!! Thank you
I tried this method only this morning and ive been suffering panic attack for almost a month now. This really helps im so excited to be free from anxiety/ panic again😀😀
