Andrew Marr suffers a panic attack on his show

- As a way of raising awareness of panic attacks, I have uploaded this video. Must have been terrifying for Andrew, but he gets through it and continues as normal with his show thereafter, from where this clip ends.

if you ever had a anxiety attack you know that this man pulled through like an absolute savage. respect!
Definitely! I'd be walking around and panicking my ass off
Seriously!!!
thats what i dont understand.. When i have them-- once every few months. i call 911 and wait till i can talk then figure out if i am havnng a heart attack or not.. its horrible cant breath
Wow! He did an amazing job here! A panic attack is a horrific experience to go through and holding it together like that as he did would have taken a lot of courage!
He is brave and strong. I feel awful for him. Courageous.
When this first happened to me I thought I was having a heart attack at a meeting at work. I was in my mid 20's. You feel so shocked and stupid. Humans are not built for modern life.
Was about to say that, our brains are still evolved for running away from sabre tooth tigers.
You were lucky, my first attack was at 9 years old and I thought that I were dying
I don't agree with the claim that we aren't built for modern life. We just do a bad job as a society of addressing mental health issues that can lead to extreme outcomes such as panic attacks. We also put more emphasis on competition and being the best rather than collaborating and just exchanging ideas. This leads to people putting unnecessary pressure on themselves
@S3 M5 Just haven't evolved enough to know the difference between "your" and "you're". Smh.
I thought I was having a stroke or a seizure, because I was doing fine before it happened and I have never had one. So scary. When my mom told me I was having a panic attack while I was crying, convulsing and struggling for air on the floor I remember answering "Yeah???? Well it feels like shit!"
I was struggling to form my thoughts and words but I guess I was just relieved to hear I wasn't dying but at the same time I was really mad at my body for reacting in such a dumb way and for nothing.
I've had anxiety attacks before but at least you feel them coming. I felt nothing emotionally when the panic attack happened, just really uncomfortable because my body and brain felt like they were being electrocuted.
Amazing control it’s horrible to experience. So much respect for him.
He is plugged into the BBC machine which keeps lefties alive..
He handled that like a boss.
he is a hero，i think i will escape in this situation
he saddled that 💩💪🏼😤
Ikr
Definitely plodded though it
Not bad
What a trooper. My heart goes out. Those can be brutal.
Most definitely. I would have had to walk off set at once
Wow, this is torture to watch. Because I know exactly what it's like. I've been in that situation a few times. My worst nightmare!
I have them every night 🙃
The way the other news anchor continued after him, in such a calming voice, without drawing any attention to his coworker’s panic attack was really great. It allowed the guy to breathe a bit and recover. Really well handled by everyone there.
He pulled through it like a champ!
richard dale ugh I felt every syllable of that
More like a 4th placed finisher.
There is a reason he's panicking
He knows how deep the rabbit hole goes
Trust me - for anybody on the wrong side of the fence, that is a scary place to be
My thoughts exactly
Mark Rayne When I feel this way, and I start feeling short of breath the way he was, I would need to leave that room. Ive had moments where I just have to stop whatever I am doing at that moment and go lie in a quiet room. To pull though this while being taped and engaged with people live must have been very difficult
I was feeling the anxiety he was having. He handled it very well. Kudos!
Panic attack is not a joke
Ik I just had one today
@@subpack4885 lol
When I first had a panic attack, I was shaking couldn't breath properly. And was very fatigued. Horrible.
I still don't know the cause. I drank 2 Starbucks coffees and listened to mysoginistoc man during before the attack.
I can't belive he was able to do such a fine job here....I can't even breath when I have them let alone talk, that would be impossible
dude had a stroke not so long ago, kudos to him
well it's not like he's not getting paid enough
ME 0020 clearly you've not had a panic attack. Like I teach my kids not to use a word they don't understand, don't comment on something you don't understand.
lol give me 400k a year i'll take as many panic attacks as you like
That's conditioning
I had a panic attack in a team meeting in front of colleagues, I left the meeting in embarrassment. Andrew does incredibly well here....respect to him and everyone else who has experienced this. This is not a sign of weakness but does reflect how much you care.
Man. If I was in that meeting I would’ve helped you through it because it happens to me too. Some people just don’t understand what it’s like for us.
I agree
I can't even imagine. This poor man. When I get hit with these, I literally want to run and hide. The mental hell to pull through social activities like this is absolute hell just trying to keep yourself together.
What a novel idea! All mental health issues are easily solved by "manning up" .
Brilliant
Keenangoal How ignorant can a person be?
Fabulous Beast That moment when you are in mid sentence with someone and just have to STOP and disengage immediately...terrible feeling...embarrassing...been there
@@Keenangoal SHUT up.
Hang in there chief
What an ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL
TimelordUk no idea how he keep going like that, really impressive!
I hope he didn’t feel ashamed after that because this is what people feel after having a public panic attack.
I can absolutely relate to what he just went through and I wish I can tell him: you are not alone sir. God bless you.
You do feel ashamed because some people look at you like you're from a different planet.
if anyone knows what a real panic attack feels like... its like your convinced your gonna have a heart attack... your heart is racing like crazy and you genuinely feel like your going to die. its awful. what a legend
Yes the feeling is exactly like that and everything become weak, tingly, and numb
Bcs of your pf i kept wiping my phone against my bed 😂😭
I've never experienced it like a heart attack, to me it has always been like a immense fear and the feeling not that I am going to die, but that's something terrible is about to happen, but I don't know what. It's hard to explain. It felts, for me, more similar like a severe asthma attack seconds before a 9.0 earthquake.
I've never experienced a heart attack so I don't know what it feels like, but I know asthma attacks and 8.8 earthquakes.
@@chilenapromedioRU my exact feelings
They really should have contingency plans for moments like this...humans are not perfect neither are they robots.
Black Knight Spoken like a real troglodyte
So younger people can't get panic attacks?
Calling people 'snowflake'.. literally that guy.
See, that's apparently a retort which is usually directed by conservatives towards liberals. But I'm conservative on many issues, and I have no time for people who say things like this.
just looked like he was out of breath with excitement. maybe he had too many wanks just before coming on the show.
Definite panic attack but he held together fairly well
Well at the end of the vid the attack was going on, I'm wondering what happened next
I suffer terribly with panic and anxiety attacks and I applaud this man, I wouldn’t have been able to be as calm. Usually, I am shaking and pacing uncontrollably.
It’s a god awful feeling. It’s one of the worst things a person can go through. I’m 27 years old and it randomly hits sometimes, especially when I’m talking to a group peers and the focus is turned towards me. If I know I have to prepare a story to tell, i get very short of breath when telling the story. Although I actually do way better on the spot oddly enough. There is something about anticipation that wrecks me.
A person who hadn't suffered a panic attack probably would have missed it, but I know exactly how he felt there. On the edge of going and somehow managing to come back from it. It's the most awful experience I can think of.
This is exactly what happens when you start having a panic attack while presenting something, public speaking, etc, where you're obligated to keep your appearance and keep talking, as myself and many other people in the comments have admitted. You can't speak, and can't breathe, but you need to go on, and when you force yourself to go on it looks and sounds exactly like this. You hyperventilate and breathe 2-3 times quickly between statements, your chest is hot and tight, you might cough to cover it off, your heart rate is going crazy and you feel the need to check it (like he's holding his wrist checking his throughout). He shows all the signs, and a lot of times you can get through it quickly because you force yourself to focus on your job, to continuing to read your lines, and that can actually distract you to the point where your mind stops panicking and you begin to cool off, as he is clearly cooling off at 2:08.
I have stage fright and a panic disorder, and this normally happens to me in the first 5 minutes of presentations where I'm publicly speaking, and once it happens and dies down it's smooth sailing after that. When you're speaking and start to panic, it's like your mind separates from your lines, and you continue doing this autopilot speech while your mind is telling you "oh my gosh, something is wrong, something is really wrong, I don't feel good, oh my gosh I'm panicking." The trick is to reconnect your mind to what you're doing, to turn off that voice in your head. You need a distraction, and the lines of your presentation are pretty good at being a distraction if you just focus on them while realizing you're still standing, you're still good.
Truly horrible panic attacks normally happen when you have nothing to distract you, like when you're in a restaurant and you're stuck against the wall, and you're listening to a friend doing some kind of monologue that you aren't interested in. You're trapped with very little things to distract you. Or when someone's explaining and explaining something that doesn't interest you, but you're stuck in that meeting with nothing to occupy your mind until they're done. Yeah, in public speaking, you're trapped in the presentation, and it can be scary and uncomfortable leading you to panic, but you have a job to do, and that job can distract you and bring you back. :) Hope that helps!
I think he started having them when his wife found out he got a married woman pregnant.
He has been extremely brave. Or stupid.
May sound silly but this happens to me when Im gaming. In player vs player combat with intense music going in my headphones, Ive had moments where I had to IMMEDIATELY turn off the game, take off the headphones, and entirely disengage from that activity THAT MOMENT. Not a good feeling. All and all my anxiety is very minor compared to most but its been bad enough that I know just how this guy feels here.
Crazy how you explain it so well I get it all the time when people start telling me big long story’s and im not interested and I just want to get away, tomorrow I have a work meeting and I’m dreading it been thinking about it for three weeks, I know how I’ll feel when I’m there and that’s the worst part I’m afraid people will think I’m crazy
Wow, you could not have said it better
Been getting them when i have a long drive lately
He’s incredible for getting himself through it so well and whilst on the air 👏🏆
Thought he handled it great. Pulled it back incredibly well. Totally understood where he was at. Top man. Nothing to feel embarassed about.
Andrew Marr had suffered a life threatening stroke a few years prior to this so I can't help wondering if this affected his unflappability
Harky yh I thought stroke like symptoms he seemed to exhibit bless him
Hats off to Andrew Marr for even returning to presenting after a stroke. No one knows better than him whether he'd be able to do it or not and he obviously can. So it was difficult to watch, but his professionalism shone through. Well done Andrew.
wtf has his inability to make flapjacks got to do with anything? the dude was having a serious panic attack - I should think oat based muesli bars were the last thing on his mind...
He lost his ability to fap?
If you've ever had one, you'll know how phenomenally well Marr did there.
What an inspirational bloke, it happened and he paused and cracked on. Legend. Been there, wish I did as good as he did many times.
It’s so interesting seeing people power through them. He had to have so much going through his head… I definitely recognize that “sorry” while you’re sitting there struggling to breath
How this guy got through this is amazing. Feels horrific. This guy has balls of steel.
Respect for handling it professionally, he taught me that can have a panic attack and still look decent and in control.
I feel it. Holy moly I feel it. The most recent time happened after I got my jab for Covid...there was a 20 minute stand down period where we're observed by nurses to check for any complications...as soon as the needle hit my arm I started to think of the covid vaccine horror stories I'd read in the news and a panic attack started rising. I was sitting in the patient waiting room just doing everything I could not to show and a nurse clocked me checking my heart rate...I assured her I was fine, but she kept darting her eyes over at me (fair enough! she was doing her job really well!) I finally got to the twenty minute mark, ran to my car and just let it all out!
Idk how he still completed the segment, what a champ
It's stupid
@@algerianman2312whats stupid?
@@pi3.14etc
To carry on working when you're not well is...
Wow, having had a panic attack I can't be anything less than impressed...You've actually made my fears that little less, I often get into very social situations being a sales director and that little monster is always at the back of my head saying "What if you had one now? In this meeting, in front of all these people"....
So to watch this, bravo Andrew...
That's a true professional! I've had those and I pray i never have on in public.
He got through that like a boss! I could literally feel what the poor man was going through- and was so happy to see it coming to an end for him. Well done Andrew!
I did not realise that was a panic attack. To me it seemed like 'having a frog in the throat' - which occasionally happens to me too.
nah listen to the change in speech pattern not just the raspy breathing and shaking
Stop eating frogs then.
breathing knocked out
Kate Middleton
the light reveals the place or at least chew them up first
I know that feeling very well and my heart goes out to anyone going through a panic attack. He handled it very well, it is a fine edge, and you never know if you will recover, or fall into the abyss
Very well handled. A real trooper.
He did brilliantly. Panic attacks are the worst but to do it on live tv. Well done from recovering.
Poor chap it's the worst feeling next to dieing I imagine
Merriman scarier than the feeling of almost dieing
I can't believe he kept going on, too. I would've died at that point. He is truly brave.
When it's bad enough, you actually feel like you're dying. One time I had a panic attack and told my mom to take me to the hospital, but she's a nurse and she knew it was a panic attack so she just sat me down and told me how to breathe and I was all good in 15-20 minutes.
Panic attacks are horrible. I remember them all too well when I suffered from severe anxiety thirty years ago. I would not wish one on my worst enemy.
+Christopher Low how did you get rid of yours?
I have had a couple of these in public, once on the street, another in a store. Indoors I was stared at, outdoors I was laughed at. People are cruel and uncaring.
I went for a walk earlier and halfway way through, I started to have an extreme panic attack, I began running and that only increased the panic. Although I was only 10 minutes away from home, I couldn't continue walking as the panic was increasing even more. I knocked a random door and begged them to call me a taxi and thankfully they obliged. The fear is EXTREME and I find it impossible to think straight. Fair play to Mr Marr for continuing to broadcast. I would have not been able to.
I used to have severe panic and anxiety attacks. It is a terrifying experience. Especially when you know you are being watched. I’m glad he was able to pull through.
At first, I wasn’t sure if I should click on the video or comment. I didn’t know how he felt about this moment being reposted on social media. But curiosity got the best of me.
I see lots of supportive comments and love that. Many people can relate. I think some people find reassurances knowing they are not alone in the struggle.
Gut wrenching seeing this, I had one of these monsters today and still trying to overcome the humiliation, I decided to see if there was clips on here with people actually having one on camera just to convince myself im not going crazy! Oddly I feel a little bit more at ease knowing Im not alone, but feel for all those who suffer along side with me, what a horrible illness this is!
As a person who suffers from severe anxiety and panic attacks, he handled this so well !
They’re such awful things and to be on tv while having one ! Poor guy !
I could see he was all geared up from the begininng...I get that im like that when im already jumpy and nervy...Then bang! It hits!
Mama Funk Groove Junky i get them too....i dont know why or what brings it on....but it really is a horrible feeling...i even think i will die...but obviously that makes me panic even more
Simon Willetts smoke bud
Trippy Uk what and get more paranoid...no thanks
It is hyperventilating that brings it on . Hyperventilating sends the wrong signals to your brain and it thinks there is som kind of imminent danger around which sends out more signals and your body (and brain) goes into flight/fight mode . This state sets of different changes in your body designed for survival like changing blood flow in some parts like organs and increasing it in others (muscles) , you get tunnel vision and so on... . This is extremely uncomfortable cause there is no actual danger around and because you never noticed you where hyperventilating the attack seems to come out of the blue.
Learning to control your breathing is a great way to get rid off these attacks. When you feel that weird panic feeling start to come over you you have to slow down your breathing waaay down. Breath with your stomach and concentrate on the outwards breath. It is actually getting to much oxygen that is the problem even though you feel like you are choking.
Panic attacks are really quite unreal, one minute you are feeling extreme fear and the next feeling euphoric once it passes and you know it's over
thats exactly what I do now to manage my attacks I grab my wrist and listen in to my pulse and see how strong it is and it reassures me nothing is happening that its all in my head, then I persuade my thoughts to be positive and think but when it first started when I was 14 I am 28 now, I still remember the night my day had to take me to the hospital as I was flipping out saying I am dying I would just jog on the spot to push ups anything to make me feel like my heart was still pumping then, when we got to the hospital I was ready to die my dad was in tears watching me I still remember it, remember guys take control of your thoughts and everything will be ok If you let it consume you then it really is over.
ati832 he did that because he has a limp hand from a stroke .
Yes that is good advice about getting on top of your thoughts, I suffer with terrible panic attacks sometimes and one of the best pieces of advice I got once was that "nobody has ever died of a panic attack" so although you literally do feel like you are having a heart attack and can't breathe etc, if you can tell yourself that and control your breathing you can calm down. Also the running on the spot etc is that your body is flooding with adrenaline and the last thing that wants you to do is sit and be calm. But I understand and I still can't control it myself and I'm probably going to be on medication for it for the rest of my life in all honesty. But this clip is a little bit of a weird one as he either gets it under control incredibly quickly or he just had a frog in his throat, but this is the absolute nightmare situation for anyone who suffers with panic, and I hope you doing ok.
Johnathan Coates actually a serious panic can induce a heart attack
So you can die of a panic attack
Anthony Cooney, so you die of a heart attack not a panic attack. Apple's and Oranges mate I can't be bothered to row.
This exact same thing happened to me once, for the first time ever of speaking and performing in front of large groups of people. A few weeks ago. Doing a presentation I've done loads of times and suddenly the last few usual slides were missing. Whereas in a similar situation before I just played it down with a joke, I inexplicably started coughing while trying to speak, my vision tunnelled away to almost temporary blindness, my heart was racing, my breathing felt tight, I was sweating, I felt overwhelming panic and emotion and just tried to keep going. It felt like nothing I've ever experienced before or since. I concluded abruptly and left. It was one of the most horrific experiences of 41 years on earth! I would not wish it on anyone - most of all people who have them regularly. I just couldn't get it back under control.
Love you man, your an inspiration to all
Tremendously professional Andrew - that must have been terrifying live on National TV ….. but you handeled it awesomely and so ravely that it won’t occur again. What a guy :))
I know full well what this is like as I suffer horrible with panic attacks and he did so well god luv him... I've been unable to talk during a panic attack and loose the use of my legs it's that bad at times... He's a champ for keeping things together xx
I nearly had one just watching it. I was in denial for years I was convinced I was seriously ill still do to an extent but watching that helps me because I saw in Andrew that it exactly what I go through I felt is experience. Anyway sorry to bother you it kind of helps to type 😊
its a combination of many things...the breathlessness, the heat, your heart bursting out of your chest ,the wanting to race through it to the point the words become blurred. fight or fly?.....you gotta keep fighting.....it will get better
Everyone who had panic attacks notices at once whats going on :( Sorry for you pal, I wish I could NOT relate all so well
hubschab I know it 😢
gavbkk 83
It works, but not super.
hubschab The cracking of his voice...his eyes pointed down, not focused on anyone he is talking to...the loss of breath...the feeling that your words are being muted and muffled as you try to speak them...his posture holding one hand in the other
Until you've had one you will never understand how a panic attack can affect you and change your life forever.
As someone who suffers from them I admire his determination and class to carry through.
Wow what a trooper. That must have been horrible. Poor guy. I know how terrible these attacks are, let alone being in pulic and all these people watching you. Bless him.
He felt vulnerable and not rehearsed in his apology, threw him off guard, then totally felt weak and not commanding , but his endorphins finally kicked in and he was his normal self...total panic attack...lived with this my whole life...he might have drank the night before or had coffee which made it worse, 1/2 a klonopin before an apology like that and some deep breathing and more rehearsal he would have nailed it in street eddy mode..some days are worse than others brotha!
Good man... I suffer from really bad panic attacks and seeing someone else on TV going through it, when he knows he can't leave to cool down is sad... But good on you for sticking it out, it's a horrible experience :-)
First time I ever had a panic attack was when I was singing the national anthem with my choir at a football game. I couldn't breathe and I felt like I was going to pass out, and I knew it wasn't low blood sugar. Second and third times were both at Walmart, once with my parents and the most recent and worst one by myself. I'm still recovering from the strained muscles that it caused.
Bless Andy. This guy is a legend . He has gone through a lot and still handles himself with class and style. God speed.
Anyone who's had a Panic Attack will know how difficult this must have been for Andrew Marr.
I had a panic attack 2 months ago. It was like HELL. My body was shivering & I hardly can breathe. Kudos to this gentleman for overcoming it like a boss. 👍
I suffer from panic attacks but this guy must have superpowers if he can recover while doing a live feed . Either that or he's not having a panic attack at all
What an absolute legend. I would have stood up and ran out through fear and shame. True professional and clearly very strong man in spite of the affliction.
Taking a risk for a stupid TV show is not heroic, it's stupid
I feel for him. I had a panic attack for two days. I didn't realize what it was. I was coughing and vomiting. I thought I had the stomach flu.. until I went to the emergency room.
I usually had that when before going to work vomiting. I never had that when I am not working and realised it is a panic attack. Luckily I no longer work there.
Wow i would have run off camera crying thinking i was dying. This guy is a champ
this is absolutely triggering
Brave man Andrew! Can hear it in your voice mate. Inspirationally keeping it together. Well done.
I literally wanted to cry during this! He did great!
Kudos to him for being able to power through it. I understand how difficult it can be to keep functioning during a panic attack, even when you know you have no other choice.
Wow, he powered through that like a champ! These things can last for hours at a time. I don't get them very often, but when I do, I doubt I could keep it together that well. I could maybe hide it for a couple of minutes before it became highly apparent that I was sweating bullets and ready to pass out or throw up. That was a herculean cover on his part.
I had a panic attack once playing guitar on a live radio show. I looked at the singer and said I think I'm gonna pass out man! which got him momentarily freaked out as well. Panic is an emotion that can spread pretty quickly in certain situations but we kept it in check thank God!
Obviously really triggered over having to make an apology.
Lovin all the support here he deserves all the respect. It’s nothing to be ashamed of this happens to millions all over the world but rarely on live TV. I’ve had a couple of these attacks in my life and they can happen at the worst time then you feel so humiliated and for me the humiliation is worse than the attack. My last one was about 4 years ago at an airport. I thought I was gonna end up in hospital or worse. I looked white as a ghost and had bloodshot eyes with an extremely dry mouth. I was desperate for water and oxygen but I recovered after a few mins then felt calm. It can happen to even the toughest of us. If you haven’t had one you haven’t experienced a true nightmare. Some are worse than others. I still get very mild ones even while riding my motorbike.
I know how he feels.
Well done for carrying on. Very difficult to control panic or anxiety attacks. He showed courageous control. Well done Mr Marr.
He pulled like a champion 💙💙 amazing well done ❤️❤️❤️
Impressive that he managed to keep going
I go through 5 to 7 cycles a day... wish i could control it as good as he did!
He done so well to stay and see it through despite suffering such a horrible event that can sometimes make it hard to breathe, well done sir 👍🏻
My mate Robert Walters sent me this as a link. “Have a laugh at this” Nothing funny here.
THANK YOU!!! as someone with anxiety, this isn't funny. I legit get laughed at when I flinch back at school. People gotta grow up 😒
Good for you. Some people just dont get it
Poor guy- he kept trying to glide over what he was feeling...shows that he’s dedicated but just having a really hard time.
Good thing he didn’t let it Marr his performance...
🥁
I hear his voice and behavoir with the newspapers and instandly remember my episodes of panic attacks. Scary memory
I feel an attack coming on just watching this :(
I can hear him struggle,I know what thats like,Trying to act normal while freaking outinside. That just have been hard.
0:29 Best moment
Thanks mate 😂
Omg poor guy 😞😞 I have panic disorder it’s absolutely terrifying I have no idea how he did that!
I'm not certain that was a panic/anxiety attack. I think he lost his way and had a real or nervous cough. Being the main presenter on a live TV show on national television is incredibly stressful. His producer might have been saying in his ear that they were overrunning and that he had to wrap up the newspaper review quickly or that his next guest only just arrived in makeup because of a traffic jam and he needed to extemporize during the newspaper reviews to drag it out. It is an incredibly difficult job and not one for the fainthearted. I salute the man.
It was hundred and ten percent a panic attack, the shallow breathing and the cluster of trying to get your shit together. Trust me my friend it was.
Fluster *
I've had to control a panic/anxiety attack whilst publicly speaking but never on national TV, this dude held it together like a fucking hero, its so hard to keep it under control, you start shaking and your voice quakes, its bullshit.
OK seeing as most people commenting here are people who have panic attacks. For those of us who do NOT have panic attacks, can someone explain at what point he is actually having one? Because I can't see it? It just looks like a person struggling to say something because he's embarrassed, which is normal for most of us...
But at what point is he having an anxiety attack?
thanks for trying - I know it's hard to explain. This is why I ask questions when I can. I have a few friends who have anxiety issues and I'm trying to get more familiar with the signs of when they are struggling. It's just so difficult, because even now you've said what you've said, it still just sounds like what the majority of people go through when they're in an embarrassing or awkward situation. I'm not suggesting for a moment that anxiety attacks aren't real - I just wonder if people who have them don't realise that their reaction to something, that they consider to be their anxiety coming through, is actually quite a "normal" human reaction...
M thank you so much for your answer, I appreciate it. I find it hard to ask questions about anxiety etc without people getting offended. It's difficult when you genuinely want to understand but people's reaction is to assume you're accusing them of exaggerating or making things up. Or they just say "well obviously you just don't understand"... And I'm like, well no, that's why I'm asking...
joosiej85 It starts to become clear at 00:30 when he trips over his words, then his breathing gets erratic and you can see he's struggling to talk properly. The anxiety probably starts to before 00:30 though after watching it back
It is so very hard to explain. But he is at in this video. PANICKING. Feeling like he can’t breathe. Something choking him. Scared he’s dying. Nervous freaking out choking on his words. It’s a natural thing the body does to protect us, but when you have mental health issues your fight or flight reactions are in overdrive.
He pushed through amazingly. I've been there and it's indescribably uncomfortable.
how was that a panic attack? no it wasn't, he was coughing but very much in control.
mysteryserpentcommander NO.
You have never had a panic attack. We know, because he tenses, his hands clench together between his knees...You can hear his breathing has changed, you can see the fear behind his eyes of it escalating, he is short of breath between words (Breathing rhythms goes off) so you have shorter intakes of breath...
To anyone who has had panic attacks, it's as obvious as night and day. He does the same as me, he hides his lack of 'air' intake, by 'coughing' outward - this is a way of 'resetting' your breathing rhythmn when you are taught how to stop it from developing. I am a Sales Director to a large corporate sales team, after my first panic attack, I needed ways to ensure prevention if I felt one starting - to-date I've only had to physically leave my place of work once due to one I couldn't control. that was 4 years ago, now I can prevent them by doing what Andrew was doing here.
Don't say it wasn't a panic attack, when you have THE VAST majority of people who suffer with them in this room in almost total agreement. We all feel each other, because we all know what it feels like and we are able to spot them better than anyone else.
All you've' demonstrated here, is that you've never had a panic attack.
madzangels might be, but he was still in control
madzangels Agree with everythinh you wrote. This is what the onset of panic looks like. You can also see the way his co hosts are looking at him...they can tell something is off about the man. Energy is easy to read
Been there, this can literally cause years of issues when it happens, great that it gets posted even if embarrassing for Andrew Marr here, I wish I knew how common this was when it first happened to me.
He literally coughed a couple of times and sounded a little out of breath, i’d hardly call that a panic attack. If the title were “Andrew Marr has minor stroke”, there’d be people commenting “yeah that was definitely a minor stroke”
He already had a full stroke in 2013 remember
You've clearly never had a panic attack. This is exactly what happens when you start having a panic attack while presenting something, public speaking, etc, where you're obligated to keep your appearance and keep talking, as myself and many other people in the comments have admitted. You can't speak, and can't breathe, but you need to go on, and when you force yourself to go on it looks and sounds exactly like this. You hyperventilate and breathe 2-3 times quickly between statements, your chest is hot and tight, you might cough to cover it off, your heart rate is going crazy and you feel the need to check it. He shows all the signs, and a lot of times you can get through it quickly because your force yourself to focus on continuing to read your lines, and that can actually distract you to the point where your mind stops panicking and you begin to cool off, as he is clearly cooling off at 2:08. I have stage fright and a panic disorder, and this normally happens to me in the first 5 minutes of presentations where I'm publicly speaking, and once it happens and dies down it's smooth sailing after that. Truly horrible panic attacks normally happen when you have nothing to distract you, like when you're in a restaurant and you're stuck against the wall, and you're listening to someone doing some kind of monologue that you aren't interested in. You're trapped with very little things to distract you. Or when someone's explaining and explaining something that doesn't interest you, but you're stuck in that meeting with nothing to occupy your mind until they're done. Yeah, in public speaking, you're trapped in the presentation, and it can be scary and uncomfortable leading you to panic, but you have a job to do, and that job can distract you and bring you back.
He had a dry throat.
PCRL no i don't think so..you can see he's checking his puase the whole way through..and if you listen to his breathing at the beginning...extremely quick
Njim 1 hear hear.
i stumbled upon this while i was stoned and it triggered my anxiety attack and i literally felt with him through the video
where's the panic attack
I’m working my way out of anxiety. I’m not letting it control nor define me no more. Take it in small steps, don’t ever overdo it! I’m facing my fears , I’m not letting my anxiety control nor trap me no more!
Thats what happens when u lie 24/7
Do you know from personal experience? I guess Farage has had a few, then.
