- One of the hallmark signs of some of the highest levels of anxiety is a panic attack. Panic attacks are-at least, for me-one of the most horrible things that a person can experience.

Thank you!!
Mm, lets think. School struggles, for people with high functioning depression and how to help people or fix it, I think.
Sometimes I feel like the floors pop up a bit more just a bit
Could you do something on Eating Disorders?
I've had panic attacks regularly since I was a kid. I encountered my trigger more often when I went to college and started having multiple panic attacks everyday. One lecture from my abnormal psych class changed my life. The reason we panic is because we don't feel like we're in control of the situation. So whenever I felt a panic attack coming, I'd tell myself that I'm in control. And I haven't had a panic attack since. It's been 4 years :)
My first panic attack was in my math classroom. The teacher randomly called on me for a answer and I didn't even have my hand up. I started freaking out then one of the teachers told me to stop and just answer the question. The other teacher put her hands on my shoulders which was like a nightmare. My best friend was in the class aswell, and she knew what to do. She pushed everyone away as much as she could. She asked me if she could touch me, I shook my head. She started asking me normal questions like "What's your name?" And "do you have a pet?" She helped me control my breathing and be alright. But guess what the school did? They gave me detention for 'interrupting the class'. Like wtf school?! My school needs to be more educated on this stuff.
Aiden Hall damn thats... Stupid, I can't believe they gave you detention
Aiden Hall I had a panic attack during class and my friend put her hand up to ask if we could go outside so she could calm me down. The teacher replied “no if she needs to talk about something she can tell me.” My friend tried to explain I was having a panic attack and the teacher gave her a detention for talking back. One way I can help calm myself down is by counting things (which is one of my OCD tendencies) the teacher continued to come around every 5 minutes and tell me I hadn’t done enough work and by the end of the class gave me a detention because I hadn’t done enough. Teachers need to be educated on this stuff
Jenaya oh my goodness you need to tell your parents and they need to kick the teachers butt, both of you. I can’t believe they treat you like that, I’m so sorry :(
zain it's okay the teacher got fired. 😂 the day she told the class she was leaving no one said bye to her. My class had my back
Stupid school
Those lucky 28% of people who said they've never had a panic attack...
Are panic attacks really that horrible? I've never had a panic attack (yet) so I have no idea what that feels like.
@@delannaa well i have been having it a lot. So i can try explain how it feels.
Imagine your chest having a huge weight on it or someone squeezing it. Slowly, your throat starts tightening and it gets harder to breathe. Thats when you start gasping for air and you get dizzy. Basically in short it is maybe like drowning but instead of water it is air and you keep thinking you are about to die. During the attack you can feel your face and limbs numbing and growing hot and cold fast. Even tears cant be controlled at times
@@whoman9958 oh my god... That's horrible. So sorry you have to go through that. I've never had one luckily.
@@delannaa its alright but if you ever witness someone having it try calming the person and say that he/she is alright. Ask if allowed to touch and stand in front of him/her at all times. Let them let it pass. It will pass soon enough.
Hope you are lucky enough not to have it >
Misaki Kunai oh my goodness I’m so sorry you have them :( they sound awful.
i can agree with panic attacks being the worst thing. it feels like you’re about to die.
@@deadmau51973 I've had these for 20 years.
yes, my very first panic attack was horrible, at that midnight my heart beat stops for 1 second then after it rapidly beats like a machine gun, i can't breath, my hands and feet are getting numb, feeling faint and dizzy, i thought i'm having a heart attack and die... it happens 3 times at this month, still fighting not to come back...
cat valentine I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK I WAS SO SCARED
Exactly..
@@Skyla_and_Adina24 its gonna be alright❤
Panic disorder, severe anxiety, PTSD , depression and so on. It goes on and on and on. It slowly kills the person you used to be, and unless you experience it yourself then no one understands. It’s death
Carolina Alexandra I feel you, people don't understand and you feel like as if your not yourself anymore. It's hard because your friends slowly pull away because they don't recognize you anymore.
I am not the person I used to be. I fear that person is lost forever. No one in my life understands and they haven't any idea of what it is like or how much pain I am actually in. I do not live anymore, I just exist. I do not want to exist anymore. I am slowly losing all hope.
Grand Wazoo oh God, I feel the same way.
Dragonfly I am very sorry to hear that.
well said the harsh truth
Ur body becomes that numb feeling and u start breathing rapidly and ur entire body becomes shakey
I'm twelve and I know all of that
I recently pinched myofacial nerves on the left half of my face during a recent panic attack. I still can't move my jaw very well and my hands and arms still hurt from being locked up and numb
Games With Nic yes all of these at the same time including depersonalization. I was hospitalized twice in the 1990s when stigma was still strong.
Panic disorder is horrible.
Natalie Chapman
it is sometimes different for other people, but what the hell does being twelve have anything to do with knowing about panic attacks?
because im also 12 and got a couple of panic attacks and other "12 year olds" in the comments also said they get panic attacks
I got diagnosed with panic disorder a few months ago
Panic attacks are some of the scariest thing a person could go through and when it happens frequently it is terrible
Yes, panic attacks can be absolutely terrifying. We're sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Hopefully, things will get better for you soon.
crystal cucumber oh yeah. It sure is living hell...
crystal cucumber you are not alone... been diagnosed since 2015. Panic attacks are just the worst and I feel like I’m having a heart attack... hugs and kisses... we just have to face life one day at a time... Still on meds and even carry a Klonopin on me always for emergencies...
lydia yess, it is the worst feeling
This always happens to me when I'm crying. I have a lot of problem now and it makes my panic disorder always trigger
I have had panic attacks all the time, and they are a horrible misunderstood thing; most people think that a panic attack means you have a slight fear of something small, when in fact it is much much worse.
A panic attack is when your brain, for no reason at all, doesn't produce enough GABA which puts the brain in an adrenalinized 'fight or flight' mode making us have a strong fear of death, an inability to sit still, and is what is terrorizing us. It's not anxiety. FARRRR from it. Anxiety usually us what puts people in a panic. I've been told that this is just all in my head and that I'm being dramatic. But our brains are legit going haywire
My panic attack does this fun trick where it makes me believe I will die if I take my medication to calm down.
Isn’t that amazing? 😭😭
The worse in this is that because of the panic attack, you panic about every detail and panic more and more...without someone, it is much more difficult to stop the panic attack
Over time, you learn to stop it. No, scratch that, keep it inside. Needless to say, feeling like your body is on fire isn't a good feeling.
Yeah, I know that. But I don't think it is good to keep it inside. We just need a true friend who can help us when this happen
Stop panic attacks fast here: PanicFire.info
My panic attacks come out when I feel like people are gonna leave me or when I feel in danger or when I'm stressed. Like I almost had a panic attack during a math test, but thankfully I calmed myself down. I was shaking and still nervous but I definitely avoided a worse feeling.

In other words,
Panic attacks are horrifying and experiencing it is like a nightmare come true.
Edit: to the narrator, I know how you feel. You're not alone and thank you for the tips on how to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. It helped a lot and I'll try my best to follow. ❤

It's okay. We believe you.
I had my first one a couple of days ago and it was pure terror. I’ve never felt anything like it. It’s Like a sense of intense impending doom. Your vision becomes grainy, you start to shake and you feel helpless. It’s a bit hard to perfectly describe, but it feels like death.
There are so many of us and we are all different, nobody is perfect but yet we live in this world where we are expected to be like robots, do what we are supposed to, be happy 24/7 and not make a mistake. We are expected to answer "Fine" when people ask us how we are doing, and going to a shrink or even having problems is unwanted and makes us feel like failures.
I think it is clear we are not perfect and will never be, so it is about time to stop pretending. We have problems and this is what makes us human. Love and support to everyone with or without panic disorder!
Quick Fix were do you live north korea lol. But personal problems both physical or mental are solved with family close friends by yourself or doctors. Nobody expects anybody to live like robots thats on you need to change something in your life and no one expects anyone to be perfect. But if someone asks are you ok they expect an answer not for you to say im fine when im not But if you answer fine when your not thats your fault.
True. Hopefully, you know that you don't have to. And that sometimes it is entirely okay to open up to a close few people.
I'm sorry, but whenever I ask my friend if they are okay, and they say they are fine, when it isn't true, that just makes me feel like a worthless friend.
If someone is concerned about you, they are trying to help.
It isnt good to open up to people who don't understand the problem. My obsessed parents thought that my illness was a placebo and worsen my condition to the point that i was about to blackout.
Chase Braley Excuse me, have you ever worked in the service industry? I have heard it on both sides, worker and customer: "I didn't ask to hear this person's life story!" after they asked how they were. Or, when people I deliver to don't ask back and they just give the answer of "fine" when prompted...not everyone wants to talk about it, much less hear about it.
And also, where did you go to school? Most teachers and "friends" of mine, in high school and college yes but DEFINITELY in middle school, showed they didn't really want to know how I was through various means I won't go into.
I guess my point here is that it depends on the person and the situation. Try being introspective, too: If you went to the grocery store, and you asked the cashier how they're doing and you're the only one in line, would you want to sit there and listen to their entire answer? How about at a drive-thru? A waiter/waitress? Bank clerk? In reality, do you?
I just recently got diagnosed with a panic disorder. This is actually strangely nice to see it layed out in a safe way
just a tip, start smoking indica or mostly indica hybrids, dont smoke sativa or mostly sativa hybrids (im talking about weed) it helps with panic attacks/disorders but sativa actually triggers them
Sorry to hear. Did you find this video accurate for you?
Psych2Go absolutely!
Same. Im very hopeful about my therapist
Omg same I've been diagnosed with panic disorder couple of months ago, can I get your number? So I can share with you about it
I suffered from panic attacks. They are so fucking shit, and anyone suffering through this stuff, I just want to say, you can get through this. I promise you.
I've been having panic attacks since I was little. I'm In middle school it happened in front of my friends who of course were concerned, and I thought it was normal. I literally got so use to them that I didn't even think it was a bad thing
Wow absolutely great animation!
And yeah panic attacks are super scary. You think you are dying when it happens..
Glad you like Zyanya's animation!
+Charles lee Ray
Have you ever had near death experience?
The real dying is laying on the bed suffering for their issues, dying from panic attack is want to run and gets some helps, is that correct?
Exactly, even after so many you still feel like the world is ending T_T
Super crazy! I'm still on it.. still finding ways to get out...
It’s a fucking curse.
Indeed.
Yes, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!
Yeah true
My first panic attack was when there was a "water day" when children brought swimsuits to school and changed into them at a certain time. The girls and boys were in different classes.
After everything, we started changing back into our clothes. The teacher asked if every girl has already changed. I didn't finish yet because I was ashamed of my body. I wasnt even half dressed when I replyed with a "no" but I think my teacher didn't hear me. Thank god a girl next to me heard me and immediately gave me a towel when she saw the teacher give permission to the boys to enter. I wrapped the towel around myself and started having a panic attack. The teacher didn't even stop the boys. She just let them keep entering after finding out what happened. I was breathing heavily and I'm surprised I managed to get up and run to the bathroom. I locked myself in a stall and the panic attack continued for about an hour. My best friend came after me to see if I was OK and I talked to her for a few minutes. I finally came out of the bathroom and tried to forget about this ever since.
The only worse thing is that the girl that helped my was the girl that I got in arguements with. I never got to apologize to her nor thank her. I swear on my life that I am sooooo thankful and greatful for what she did, even though we were not that good of friends. XOXO Sara.
Raven, Take some action today to enjoy life. Meditation heals anxiety -panic attacks as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair and do it. Read the benefits of the above meditation on Google search. Inhale and exhale slowly feeling the relaxation flowing through your body. Negative thoughts will reduce. Make meditation a daily habit. Best wishes--Shyaaam Sir-Mentor.
@@shyaaammeneen63 Thank you 😌✨
The bizarre thing with panic attacks is that it actually mimics the real physical systems of something serious. My first one honestly believed I was having a stroke and that my body was half numb, my face was drooping. Of course it wasn't really, but its crazy how the body can will mimic it.
ah, now I'm sobbing
panic attacks is really fucking terrible indeed
Wow. I feel so sorry for you guys :(
ᕖᓚ ᑕᕇᓪ i hate panic disorder. In class it’s so fucking annoying.
Thank you for understanding. However it makes us stronger .. :)

My description of what a panic attack feels like:
Ya know glitch effects? How it looks like layers of a person get shifted back and forth in less than a split second? Imagine what it would actually feel like if your body from halfway through your rib cage, and upwards shifted a foot to the left, ripping muscles and shattering bones, and then 0.0000001 seconds later, everything is back to normal. Now imagine that feeling happening hundreds of times a second, in random places on your body. And the only way to make it happen less is to go as far away from the trigger as possible, and the only way to numb the pain is to curl up as tightly as possible.
That is what a panic attack feels like
Strange... when I first got panic attacks, I would always try to not submit myself to the pain and it continued to get worse. It wasn’t until I would let them pass that it happened less frequently and intensely.
Nuili Exact same thing here. When I stopped fighting them, they almost stopped completely.
Exactly. Fighting them only makes it worse. Allow yourself to feel horrible and at the same time reach out to a part of yourself inside that feels compassionate for the part that is panicking. It helps soothing. It is as if the scared panicky part needs the caring and loving one.
Lol. I can't suppress my panic attack if I'm sinking while doing swimming lesson test or else I'm going to die.
Not that I can control it but I just accept it when it happens now, I have 6-8 a day so at this point it’s an more of an annoyance than a horrific experience but also it’s a horrific experience because you feel like you’re dying and in the moment there is no logic
same here
You go from calling the condition incurable to saying you've cured yours. Well managed sure, but its a little dangerous to call it cured if it can't be.
Definitely. Managed is a better word.
In my perception, when talking about mental illness, the word "cured" takes another meaning, it's no longer not having a problem, but instead it's controling that problem. But yeah, you are right, not everyone thinks like me so... (also, I don't speak english, if I did any mistake please tell me ;-;)
Kat Horton it isn't curable you have to manage the symptoms like other mental illnesses
It's worth noting that Claire Weekes uses the word "cure" when she talks about her method of ridding one's self of panic disorder.
You're right.
I’ve had anxiety for 2 years. My first panic attack, I had no idea what was wrong with me. I didn’t know why I was even scared. But I soon learned it was anxiety that I had. A lot of people my age said they have/had it, it feels nice to talk to those people about it
You know when you say "my heart just skipped a beat" your heart can skip beats and it hurts. It happens when you have a panic attack or when your really happy, angry or scared. It happens to me regularly.
I was deeply worried like one week ago that my heart skipped some beats, i thought i was gonna die.
Watching this triggered my panic attack lol
Yeah, we should have put a triggered warning.
Chesuta you know. 😂🤣
It sounds silly afterwards but in the moment it’s so scary.
Lol it triggered me too
When i have panick attack, I literally feel like I'm about to die. I thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. My arms feel numb, heart racing and my legs become weak. Then my hands become so cold. I was so scared.
I never cried from it tho. I mostly try to stay as calm as possible and monitor my breathing. But it makes things worse. My vision become blur and I'll feel like I'm about to faint and die.
It's the worst thing ever.
When it passed I will be in fear for a day or two that it'll happen again.
Idk what to do;-;

Damn same WE are together !! 💪💪
Almost Everytime I get a panic attack I still can't tell if Its real or panic. Being alone is the worst! I take klonopin too and do square breathing and hopefully get someone on the phone with me until it passes.
Since I was a kid I would get this panicky feeling in school about getting called on or having to interact with others or even getting confronted. I never really thought much of it but until the past few years I see it all now. If you don’t get treated or get help it can snowball just getting bigger & bigger. My anxiety and panic attacks have gotten worse through out the years 🙁
Yeah, I have a Panic disorder.
Edit; Thanks for telling me that I did an grammar error.
A*
Saskia Boer the fact it's acronym is SAD makes me feel worse for you
you have an education disorder
Does anyone have anxiety attacks, and every time he goes a little far away from home at places he hasn’t been for a long time gets anxiety attacks?
Or gets them randomly, or when he is alone at home, or when he goes somewhere with a lot of people, or when he is in the car for a long time
0:00 I'm pretty sure sniffing people's souls might give them a panic attack.
true
Almost gave me a heart attack for sure :(
😆🤣
Told the person I love that im panicking and told me that its "bullshit pick yourself up your not the only one with problems". And right now i just ended up crying for hours wishing i was dead. I couldnt speak right but I can write better than speaking. It just makes things worse coming from someone you love...
you’re not alone i know how hard it is it’s not that easy i’m so sorry someone you love hurt you like that but you got this
@@laina5920 thank you so much🥰 in the end we all have to focus on what makes US happy starting on small things💗
IT IS NOT INCURABLE! Ive had SEVERE panic disorder for a decade and couldnt leave my room for months on occasion and now I dont have it anymore AT ALL! Dont worry abt never getting rid of it... Overcoming it was the hardest obstacle ive EVER encountered but trust me it definitely is possible!😊
unicorn snow swear?!
Nana Botelho yes! 😊
How did you do it? I go to the docs every other day because of how worried I am and its breaking down my body. I cant leave my room much becaude of how often I worry about everything and anxiery in general
@@bceoofcharlescultandmember2428 it was a longer process... But what helped me a lot was not leaving the Situation. Just stay and wait it out. I know its hard but it helps the most. For example i always got it in the train so i just drove by train for HOURS to show myself i can do it
When i got it at home i would just lay on the floor and let the adrenaline kick in until it was over. Think abt how its just hormones and your nervous system being on overdrive
You could also by books about panic attacks
Theres smaller things you could also do like drinking warm milk with honey or smelling bath bombs which helped me calm down
Stay in the moment
I know its hard as hell but it will really make you a stronger person. Im now over a year panic free and tbh i feel like a free bird. Even better before i ever had it because i appreciate life so much more
Panic disorder tends to make you feel like a hopeless case but trust me... Its NEVER to late!!! ♥
@@april5507 Thanks. I'll try to do that! I guess I just have overwhelming fear for health reasons but I can see what you are saying. I know its a longer process so hopefully I can get through this like you. I have been feeling like many do give up on me so it really helps to know that it is possible. So thank you and congratulations for being free of this neverending nightmare
one time I had a panic attack in a library and it was so fucking a scary
They can happen anywhere. I've had them too. Never in a libary though even though I spend time there
I got into a discussion about anxiety a couple of days ago. I was told 'it's easy to deal with' and 'that I should actually try to solve my issues'. Because of those words, I fell into a terrible panic attack, shaking, crying and feeling like I was choking. I wish I could have a normal discussion, instead of having a breakdown. Funnily enough, that literally proved my point that anxiety strikes at any moment. I'm just bummed that some people only realize that AFTER someone collapses.
I have panic attacks sometimes, but I didn’t realize that there was panic disorder. I wish that I could help the people going through this. Just know that there is someone out there who loves you. ❤️
Try having one everyday. I’m so tired.
U ok now
Had 13 one day but I don't think you meant in that direction...
last time i had a panic attack it feelt like i was going to throw up and die. I couldn't breath and my mom had to call some docktor for help. I have no idea why it happened, but i survived.
@Myco_tripss on instagram I have and ended up throwing up and passing out every 10 minutes and had to be rushed to the ER I do not recommend. /nsrs
I had one once at night, I couldn’t sleep and I thought there was a serial killer in my house! I was crying hysterically and thinking I was gonna die I couldn’t breathe I was paralysed and TERIFIED! After it was over it was 3:00 and I slept for the first time that night.

Thank you so much for posting. I suffer from ptsd, server anxiety and manic-depressive disorder. I can not say how much these videos as helped. I fight all of this every day in one degree or another. Night time is the worst for intrusive thoughts for me... thanks again.
KM Sassman I completely agree with you, and understand what you go through. It happens to me, too, topped with ocd. Though I am on the more gray side of the manic and more darker on the depressive disorder, I do understand how hard it is to fight this battle from the moment you wake up until you manage to get yourself into bed with some food on your stomach. It's channels like these that help us be very self aware and give us a rough sketch of what we can do to make our lives better.
Night time is the worse and yet the most pleasant.
I had hundreds of sleepless nights due to Panic Disorder but its pleasant because there is no one to bother you!
i have panic disorder also, happy depression and almost an ocd. honestly, i dont know if i have mental illness because i thought all people are the same as me. after watching these kind of videos, i know, i'm 1 out of 4 and not most of people i knew can relate to my problem
We're glad you enjoy our videos. It sounds like you've been through a lot. We hope things get better for you soon.
My military service has caused me to have a panic disorder. Its destroying my life.
My first panic attack was in a Halloween party around when I was in elementary. Prior, I was diagnosed with anxiety in the 2nd grade. It was a lot for a child looking back on it. Unfortunately, even with diagnosis, I wasn’t and I’m still not treated. I’m 19, in college, and I deal with anxiety and panic attacks on a daily.
When I was younger, I had a bit of agoraphobia as things progressed and grew more into my introverted shell. I’d come to find comfort in my artwork and boosted my career with it. I have gotten better with the phobia as I learned to push myself and find that I will be happy at the end of the day and won’t feel bad about missing out. I also learned small tricks and such to help manage it on my own.
Still doesn’t mean that I would wish this on anyone. I hope you are doing better or a loved one is. I spend a lot trying to help those who are in the same boat and lucky I have a friend group that either has or understands these struggles.
Best thing I’ve learned and to remind yourself: breathe. You can do this.
I’ve learned how to not have panic attacks in public even without meds! I just suppress the feelings and feel like I’m dying inside out
Whenever I have a panic attack. I feel so scared, I cover my ears, and hide my face. I clench onto my head. As my breathing gets faster and faster. My mind blurs and I'm focused on how much it hurts, the memory that is causing it. My hands cramp up and so do my feet. And I've always held it in and fainted. I just want to be rid of it.
Watching your "Why intelligent people struggle to find happiness" made me realize that those who have anxiety for no reason (Haven't been in a war or past traumas) are just suffering from our brains overthinking, over analyzing and wanting to be more then we are. I have come to the conclusion if you suffer from anxiety for no reason you are just a more intelligent person, it makes sense
I struggled with a panic disorder in grade 6, and it was terrible. I couldn’t leave the house for months, and I would get random panic attacks all the time. Usually there wasn’t even a trigger.
I remember being at the movies with my friend/ and starting to cry and hyperventilate. I had to get my mom to pick me up and my friends saw the movie without me. I know that seems like nothing but in grade 6 that was the worst thing imaginable.
I had such severe anxiety for years and it took till high school for me to finally get back into classes full time.
If you’re struggling with this, please just keep trying. It will get better. Even though it feels like nobody understands and everybody just thinks your weird, there are so many people going through the same thing.
Omg that was longer then I expected
I was alone in my room when i had my first panic attack. It’s driving you crazy, feels like you lose control of yourself but clueless of the cause. Indeed, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had in life.
The most hurtful thing people tell me is that.... “it’s all in my mind, I need to control it”. I really wish it were that easy
I'm not sure I have that. I just can't breath at all and my body freezes up when I'm on a rollercoaster..
Panic attack is the worst I often get and we people who have this always misses life before it happened. Life used to be so fun
I fear dying, since I have so many times, I was watching a Shane Dawson conspiracy theory video and... well he said something about the world ending, I don’t really remember but I was REALLY terrified. Well... yeah.
Be careful. Dear of dying is what leads to a lot of my panic attacks. Stay well✌
THE Way i would describe a panic attack. An actual full-blown panic attack; Pretend you're in a room and you start to smell smoke. You exit the room and see everything is filled with smoke. You start getting nervous so you look for an exit to get out.by the time you find the exit you realized its locked and theres no way out. ITS a horrible feeling.
As someone who has dealt with panic attacks in the past, I really love this video. This is great advice for anyone who might be dealing with them.
Everyone is different. I was kinda the opposite. I have Panic Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder and GAD. Also, Type 1 diabetes. Any feeling of pain or perceived heath problem triggers me. (I'm scared I'm dying). But trying techniques to distract myself made it worse. Rather than run from it, I accept it, and it passes WAY faster, because I understand it's just my stress system misfiring and I won't die. I was finally diagnosed with ADHD, and Adderall changed my world when Lexapro and Wellbutrin made no difference. BUT it's not just about drugs. They just help you do the rest of the work on your own . Once you start paying attention to yourself, you wouldn't believe the difference diet, activity and hydration make. Also, talk therapy. It's like venting a couple times a month, and having someone help you re-frame your goals. Good luck to everyone!
So you don't get any panic attacks anymore ?
Pamela H Hi, I’m a fellow type 1 diabetic and panic sufferer and my triggers are very similar to yours - anything to do with illness or hospitals trigger me. It took me years and years to figure out I had PTSD from my diabetes diagnoses when I was 4 (as it was a medical emergency). Just saying I get where you’re coming from as I’ve suffered anxiety and panic attacks for years alongside dealing with diabetes, it’s not easy! So I wish you the best
I've had panic attacks before and i would always go to my friend to help calm it down. I feel more comfortable around her than i do around my parents. I've told her more things than I've told my parents as well. My most recent panic attack is when i thought i was home alone (my parents were out shopping) and i was upstairs doing chores, which was making the beds. I was comfortable with myself and being alone, so i started singing. I put my headphones and fully emerged myself into the music. When im finally finished with making the beds (it takes me like 20 minutes), i walk downstairs only to find my parents down there. They asked me if they snuck up on me and i say no, they tell me that they're pretty sure they did, because they yelled up the stairs and i didn't reply. They also tell me that they heard me singing and my dad started mocking my singing. I just felt that kind of feeling where you feel warm, but cold at the same time. I froze, i was sweating, and i kind of ran off to the back room. I sat there on the chair and just tried to calm down but my anxiety was going brrrrrrrrrrrrr in my head. I decided to get my phone out and text my friend to help me calm down. I sat in the back room for 30 minutes until i went to be with my family again. Thank god they didn't say anything about it or the panic attack would've started again. I was 13 at the time.
I have my own issues but I'm pretty sure I don't have this. I just wanna say... if you have this, you are stronger than you know. Living with this must be horrific. Don't give in!!!
This is a disconnect viewers can have when struggling with daily panic attacks and need a video to remind them it's ok to have the symptoms they're having, and that they're normal. A prominent anti anxiety channel says the best thing to do is accept the panic attack and let it run is course, whereas this channel says don't accept panic attacks. So I find it hard to get consistent information online nowadays..or ever.
One time my grandparents were coming to visit and I hadn't seen them for 2 years so I was excited, once we got out of the airport we went to dinner and not even a minute after we sat down I suddenly just started crying and hyperventilating for no reason and dm mom helped calm me down, my anxiety get triggered a lot when I'm over exited, which doesn't happen anymore because I have become depressed but I'm fine and if your reading this, you don't have to believe me, you don't have to say you sorry for me, I'm just sharing my story, there are others out there just like me, in factaybe you, the one reading this has anxiety or depression or both.

I tought anxiety and panic disorders were the same but my psychologist told me it's not, basically the panic disorder it's an evolution of anxiety, now I live with this for like 5-6 years and I'm starting to lose hope, nothing it's working for me, people around me get sick and they always say I'm doing it on purpose, or say that I'm annoying, then they always, ALWAYS, left me alone. I lost so many friends, I lost my boyfriend, even I lost most part of my family. I don't know what to do anymore, I feel like a big piece of shit, I feel like I'm just a problem, and I'm not gonna lie, but I tried to kill myself so many times. I really can't take it anymore.
AND yes, I ALSO know that some ONE says, I AM acting on purpose,in my CASE,IT comes from MY OWN PARENTS.......
I had my last panic attack about six months ago. Before I have had about a year of constatnt panic attacks experience. Panic attacks manifested themselves in different ways - high blood pressure, tachycardia, general weakness, pain in the heart area, and lack of air as physical manifestations. Also anxiety, fear of death, clouding of consciousness and perception, faint, and several times I even lost consciousness - as mental manifestations. I was almost desperate, but accidentally I discovered one book. After reading the first chapters, I was surprised how much the author’s case is similar to my case. The author himself survived all this on himself and managed to overcome his illness and, most importantly, to understand the true cause of the panic attacks. I really liked that the book does not have idle advice that you only need to pull yourself together and calm down. The book presents a specific diagnosis and specific actions and recommendations on how to completely get rid of panic attacks in about three days, a maximum of a week. This book is available on the Amazon Kindle. I understand that now paying for books is reluctant, especially with a large amount of free information on the Internet, but I think this book is completely worth its money, especially after all that I had to go through. It is completely worth the quality of life without panic attacks and the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief with the feeling that this whole nightmare is over. I do not force anyone to buy it, but I highly recommend it. It is your decision, but why not to try, what if this is also your case, like mine. There is a link www.amazon.com/dp/B07FZH9PDS
When I have a panic attack it feels like I'm drowning I gasped for air and I cant breathe. My legs and arms start to go numb which makes my panic worse.
I remember my first panic attack (sorta) three years ago, when I had to go to Poland. The realization of being far from comfort and familarity, only to be with a bunch strangers (more or less) hit me hard like a truck. Later on the they weren't really there, the panic attacks that is, until recently, when I went in England, I had 2.50 panic attacks, and I couldn't say anything to any of the professors, because I didn't want to bother them.
Now after going back to school, I succesfully managed to get three panic attacks (yay!) in two weeks (double yay!) because nobody would let me fucking breathe.
To the people and to the narrator who experience it more often and with worse symptoms (mine is just unable to think, panic, shaky breathing and wanting to cry), I hope you get better with it, because what made me deal with my emotional problems was me being interested in psycology at a young age, so I knew how to prevent or to deal with unwanted problems and emotions, by always studying my behaviour patterns (not that it stopped my past depression, but I got the hang of controling it in the last 4-5 years)
Thank you so much. I felt like no one understood. I’m on so many antidepressants and anxiety medication yet I still have panic attacks constantly. I feel better seeing this. Thank you so much.
i remember my first one was after class in high school, i felt like the world was spinning, i thought i was gonna die, i felt so unsafe, i felt so small among all the other kids sorting their lockers out. it didn't get better ever since tho, it turned out to be a panic disorder, it got worse and worse until the point i was addicted to xanny
this story was amazing ,you went through so much pain and still kept going.I dont have any disorder luckily but a friend of mine will surely find this helpful so thank you.!
I love how (in certain schools) absolutely nobody is taught about anxiety, depression, common disorders, etc.
Sorry this was sarcasm. There should be a font for sarcasm 😂😂😂👌
Having a panic attack feels like, I'm scared to be scared.
I think I had my first panic attack today driving home from work. It was a felling of being worthless and of being lonely. Tears were shed.
panic disorders suck major ass, but luckily mine can be regulated with medication really easily. personally mine don’t revolve around the idea of death but rather intense failure. there are panic disorders with and without agoraphobia. agoraphobia is the worst form since it can stop people from going outside.
You have them everyday? I'm sorry to hear that, I guess I can wish you luck? Hopefully the anxiety maybe relaxens.
No it needs a trigger like a thought or something that happened
@@dariaduma7163 just when i think about a panic attack or all the places where i've had them it triggers a panic attack i just want to be able to forget that any of this ever happened
This video and these comments made me feel like I’m not alone. I haven’t met anyone else with panic disorder. And I felt incredibly defeated when trying to open up or talk to anyone about it
thank you for this.
Hey! Are you fine right now? I totally agree with you. When I talk to someone who never had experienced panic attacks I feel really bad and I start to feel panic again. But when I talk to someone who experienced them,I start to feel better.
Top 10 unfortunately it's still a battle but it's reassuring to know others know what this is like
One thing that helps me and keeps me from spiraling is staying present and reminding myself that I’m ok. At first it was incredibly hard, but I kept doing it and now it comes naturally.
Three weeks ago I started to have panic attacks or how I call them fear attacks. In three weeks time I have experienced about 5 times. If my assumption is correct I shouldn't have them anymore. That's because I think my panic started from a situation I was going through. I had to do something terrifying last Friday. Telling my mother how I feel when I'm home. Our situation is not really good home and I experienced thoughts of suicide and cutting. I wanted to tell my mother this but it kinda went the wrong way and I couldn't really tell them about everything so I ran away and send a text with everything I wanted to say to my mother. I think the attacks started because I was planning to do that conversation a month before hand. And it came closer each day. Two really good friends both helped me in those times. One my male friend will hold me/ rub my back while talking to me saying I'm alright. His voice is one of the most calming voices I have heard in my life so the calming voice in my head makes me get calmer more. My other female friend will tell me to look at her and in a strict way. When I look at her she tells me to listen to my surroundings/tell me to name things I see. Starting with big things like a house or a tree. Then to smaller things like a stick or a leaf. So I can focus on calling out those things or listen to things instead of my attack
Well, I guess I have a panic disorder. I guess it occurs mostly when my sleep paralysis occurs at the same time. So, imagine. You can't move, you are sweaty, your throat hurts, your breathing becomes harder and you can't scream for help. That's what I experience every night.
Oh my goodness, you poor thing. I can't imagine what you are going through. My first panic attack was my worst. It lasted 3 days. It was the worst/scariest experience i have ever gone through. I've since had numerous attacks, but very minor compared to the first time. I can't imagine having them everyday. I hope you have gotten better since you posted this. Sending love your way! ❤❤❤
going on the right kind of medication, taking support from it, finding what worsens your anxiety and changing it is the key!!
I'm thinking about getting a service dog for my anxiety/ panic attacks
I have fibromyalgia and for me, the attacks (with the crying and shuddering, etc.) only made each other worse. Thankfully my amazing cat has saved my life more times than I can count, she would come to me at just a shudder of my breath, she'd circle me a few times, and sit on top of my chest and purr her little heart out, grooming my face, ears, to comfort me. I'll never have another one quite like her, I love her so much and I cherish her everyday (sometimes even more than myself lol)
You wont be disappointed, especially if you have attacks in times where you're alone. Much love & luck, friend! ♡
I get panic attacks, but I'm only triggered by being in the car with my daughter and something happens. The last one was pretty bad. I had accidentally backed into another car in a walmart parking lot. I tried keeping control, but I lost it and started into the panic attack. The other guy looked at me like I was crazy and that was awful. I ended up calling my husband to talk me through it. Eventually I regulated and was ok, but it took like 20 minutes. The next day I went back to the same place because I was so scared and wanted to avoid it. I swear that I heard someone shout across the parking lot at me and said that I was crazy.
I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), so I was really pleased to find a video that mentioned it without making it seem like a thing to be shunned or a thing to be pitied. Most things I've found on panic disorders were either from people who think lowly of them, or of people who seek attention for them. I like that this video simply stated facts about panic disorders and explained how there is no perfect cure for anyone. Thank you.
I would never wish GAD or panic disorder on my worst enemy. It’s literally so debilitating
I've been dealing with panic disorder for 31 years and every time I get one they still feel like impending death. I also have been on klonopin. Meds do help, nortriptyline and inderal help prevent them for me. Practicing meditation and breathing exercises help greatly.
I suffer from it and also tinnitus. It is so hard to handle it.
I have this too. My medication helps a lot though. I have them a lot less now, every few months. Phobias are still here, they always made my panic attacks worse...but I am so much better at coping now, and I take things day by day. I know these disorders are unique to each sufferer, but I find comfort in being understood with videos like these. Thank you, from one PD sufferer to another.
I get panic attacks all the time shaking, crying and hyperventilating, I have never told my parents and I can't because I fear that they won't believe me or think I am just being stupid.
SAME ILLNESS AND YET SO DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE! I experience an average of 3 PA's everyday .In my attempt to overcome it I practiced public speaking ,sports and bodybuilding - now i am a well ripped basketball player and have won several debate/electution competitions. Despite all that my PD still persists. Everyday i leave in the middle of the class and rest in the clinic till i recover. [click "Read More" - there is a twist]
Its ironic that admits all my effort i am detained due to lack of attendance. Itz my third time now .... somebody console me.. :(
nice guy lol. its great that you're trying, but try to get some help :)
I appreciate ur concern.
Starting about a week or so ago I had a bad experience where I thought I had been laced with lsd, now I didn't have any symptoms /effects of the drug but I was convinced. Since then I've experienced them nearly everyday and I find myself paranoid to eat anything that has been left out of my sight at any point in time, I'm living in constant anxiety rn and debating on seeking treatment
Thank you for sharing your own individual experience with panic attacks. This was great to watch.
I once had one in a crowed airport, and the paramedics were called. One of them told me to look for something colorful and focus on it. The 6 senses are essential to someone with panic disorder. I hate it. It feels like you are about to die and the walls close in on me. My heartbeat is very fast, and my oxygen levels drop drastically. It’s horrible. I don’t even have a word for it.
I can relate, it`s like hell
Can you do a video about disassociative depersonalization/derealization disorder attacks? I think it was something I experienced but I had no professional opinion on it. But the descriptions I found were very accurate to what happened to me.
I've been watching videos all night about panic and anxiety and this is the first one that actually helped me I just want to thank you for giving us your information and God bless you and your future endeavors.
For me personally panic attacks are like chocking on air internally and not wanting to make a scene and worry anyone so you force it down. I have a anxiety and depression and these panic attacks are becoming more and more common.
*Panick! at the Disco fans have left the chat*
Can you guys do a video on Maladaptive Daydreaming?
Yeah for sure! Let us add that to the list of topics!
Thank you so much for this video 💛 recently I found out my dad has panic disorder, and now that I know this, I could play my part in helping him overcome his panic disorder. I hate the fact that I told him that he was just exaggerating, when in fact, it was a desperate cry for help. Now I know that certain things trigger him, and now I will try to avoid doing those things. Thank you 🙏
I have panic attacks every day.
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder.
I had the most panic attacks in class room, I was shaking I suddenly saw black in my eyes, I was like fainting.
I couldn't even hold a pen in my hand. I told the teacher that I dont feel well so I could go home.
The moment when I exit the school my breathing was normal again.
Now I dont need to go to school anymore, I will go to a day clinic soon. It's like a school but without studying where you get therapy.
