Mine lasts for like 2 hours, I’ve watched and commented trying to distract myself on over 20 vids. You’re not alone, God’s got you and we will get through this❤️
Anyone who suffers from panic attacks knows that you cannot just take some deep breaths and feel better, the intensity of a bad attack is overwhelming.
I've learnt (Mainly cause of peer pressure) to keep in myself. Tho if anyone talks to mean I literally act like a madman. Getting angry super fast, or wanting to go home and cry are some symptoms. Ik it's hard but if I overcame it you can too :). Tho I agree is kinda bs
@@frangkiskosmelanitis6904 I'm not nearly as bothered by panic attacks as I used to be, they are more just an irritation these days though still very nasty things to experience. I think the real harm they can do is to ruin peoples ability to enjoy life in between the attacks, some people if they are not having a panic attack they are in dread of having one which is the worst state to be in, I don't worry about having them anymore. Good to hear that you managed to beat them.
@@nataliefitzgerald it didn’t help me at all either tbh. It generalizes the feeling too much. However me telling myself literally “I am not dying I am only panicking unnecessarily” can sometimes get me on the right track. I hope you’re okay 💝 I’m here for you
Came here with my panic attack and anxiety-induced nausea, it's so lovely to see all the other comments of solidarity and support ☝🏻💪🏻 super helpful video! Hope everyone has a relaxed and healthy day 🤗
Holy shit I’ve been looking for others that have the same thing. I literally can’t even eat cause I’m scared to get sick. When dealing with really big things, (like rn it’s going back to college) I get bad panic attacks and get instantly nauseated. I usually throw up and get a fever due to it. How do you deal with the nausea, I’ve been getting it since October 2021 and I don’t know how to deal with it.
I get this too :( the nausea makes me panic and the panic makes me nauseous! I find that thinking ‘it’s ok if you throw up’ and almost letting go so my body can throw up if it wants helps. I never actually throw up though, very weird!
I usually have 2 panic attacks a day. I try to get my mind focused in something else but honestly it’s hard when I’m having one. It’s so easy for people to say just breath or calm down your fine. I’m doing much better being able to control them, but sometimes it take over me. I’m thankful I have my husband and mother and sister to help me out.
Yes I kno exactly what you mean I have them bad and I try so hard to take my mind of it when it comes on but it’s so hard.. I have them so often especially when I’m ready to go outside I just pray and ask gos to please remove this from me..
Just had my first attack last night, I thought the "heart skip" was just normal ( bc it happens sometimes when I get up too fast) but then the tip of my tounge went numb and I got really dizzy.. I went to go lay down but then started to worry... then my heart started to race, and it wouldn't stop.. so me, my gf and son went to the ER.. I had a whole panic attack for almost an hour.. in and out of almost having another one with every passing second.... I try to keep myself calm and to do calming things.. but its all in my head... I always have my subconscious making me worry and scared.. I tell myself everything is fine but then at the same time I'm freaking out... I fell asleep last night even after the ER, in and out of panic... I think the reason why is because of the fear it'll be like this forever... The feeling of hopelessness... the thought of "should I end it here" "if I'm going to have this happen to me constantly, then I should just end it now." "When can I have my life back" " Why me?" " what have I done to deserve this?" Etc. Believe me when I say that I've had what was thought to be a "mild" panic attack... but last night.... I don't ever want to experience that again..
I suffer to with panic attacks for years take some benzow and revtrol anticam what ever you can get your hands on I would try out 5 first and dabble you your slef
Yep. Been through it many times, and I’m sure a lot of people here know what that “this is it” panic attack is like. Even talking about it with my friends or family can set me off.
I agree. They don't have it as bad as us but im glad its helping them. But when your legs literally won't move, you're shaking uncontrollably, your muscles tighten up so much that they spasm, you can't eat or drink anything because your stomach is so cramped you'll just throw it all up i need a little more help than this. But I do appreciate the video, I do appreciate it has helped people with mild anxiety or with some it just sounds like common anxiousness. Im also glad they don't have to experience that 10/10 attacks. Because there's nothing worse on earth that I've experienced, its not even explainable to those who haven't experienced it.
@@zaido007 Well even if we don't agree with the video at least we know we're not alone, or weird. If a 10 car pile up happens right in front of me id think nothing of it, id go straight to helping people as cool as can be, but if I need a soda from the store?...
Yesterday I had my first panic/anxiety attack and it was the most horrifying experience I've ever had. I thought I knew what it was about but I couldn't be more wrong. Having someone to talk to through that experience is crucial to overcome it. If anyone reads this comment I sincerely hope you understand that what you experienced is not something out of this world and that many many many people go through it. We are all in this crazy shit together. You are amazing!
Thank you, I was in Mid panic attack while watching this, and was afraid to tell my parents that I was having one. It was going on for a wile and was Really scared, but by doing what they said to do , I calmed down with in the next 5 minutes! I really felt like I was going to fant and it was one of my bad ones so thanks for helping me over come this one!!

A message to those that come here due to panic attacks or anxiety. I used to have panic attacks every day. I couldn’t leave the house. They ended for me when i learned a teaching from from Mingyur Rinpoche the Buddhist Monk. The secret is to not run. Dont try to make it go away. Trying to escape or avoid panic is the very thing that keeps it alive. Meditation and relaxation videos like these are great BUT, if you are using it in order to escape panic or anxiety then it will simply keep it alive in the long term. The way out is to truly accept how you feel in the moment, allow your thoughts, allow the sensations and recognise that it is uncomfortable but not dangerous. At first your mind will tell you you can’t, but it is a lie, then you will try to accept only to attempt to make them go away, which also does not work as it isnt really acceptance. Then finally all you have left is to truly accept it. And If you can learn to truly accept then you will be free. The first stage is you will no longer be afraid of it. Then the symptoms will fade until they disappear completely. It works, and it works for everyone I promise! Sincerely hope you conquer them too.
I have a panic disorder that I developed a few years ago after finding out about a heart murmur. This weekend will be the first time I spend a few days completely alone, and I'm freaking out about it already. I just know multiple panic attacks are waiting around the corner for me. I can always call my girlfriend and she's a great help even if she lives in a different country. But because of the 7 hour time difference, and the fact that she works, she's not always there when I need her the most through no fault of her own. I'm pretty terrified and don't have anyone around to turn to. My friends wouldn't know what to do even if they knew about my disorder.
I have the ones where you feel like you're going crazy. They started a few years ago absolutely randomly, but back then I could feel them come on because I'd get this feeling like someone just poured water over my head and I could physically feel it run down my body. Sometimes they're harsher than other times, like auditory hallucinations and a general feeling of unwellness in my body and my mind. I've become a pretty terrible alcoholic because I refuse to take medication for anything and alcohol seems to keep the attacks away and even minimalize how bad they are. It sucks to be 30 years old and the last 4 years of your life have been hell, all because of panic attacks. I wish I could go back to 25 when the worst of my issues was depression. I never signed up to trade depression for anxiety. But it's not the end of the world, even for me. So if you're out there and you're reading this, you're going to be just fine. Breathe, preoccupy yourself and stick to the proper methods of coping with your illness. I love you.

Austin I've been searching the comments to find someone that feels how I feel. And i found you. I've never really talked to anyone about this shit because how can they possibly understand how we feel? Im far from suicidal but I tell myself during an attack "well at least if I have a heart attack and die the suffering will be over and nobody will think im weak for having panic disorder. Sound about right? If so hit me back man, mabey we're not crazy, mabey we can help each other. Fuck I don't know, something has to be done man that's all I know.
I used to get small panic attacks, in school when I got stressed. And would start crying. Then my anxiety made me feel like everyone was staring at me 🙂
Me too, I didn’t realize they were panic attacks because i thought the only real panic attack are the extreme ones. I’m glad I know I’m not alone cause mini panic attacks are still scary even if it’s not extreme.
Last week I ran my first 5k without stopping and all the time I could hear the voice in my head saying that I can do it. Forwago, thank you so much for everything!!
@@nataliefitzgerald it's OK. When they happen focus on calming yourself down. The best way I've found is talk to yourself and tell yourself you are OK. Stuff like "I'm OK, this is weird but it will pass. I'm fine I'm in control." And truly breathing is key breathe slowly through your nose and out through your mouth. 4 seconds in and 4 seconds out.

@@shyaaammeneen63 In bed it also helps to flex your muscles starting at your lower legs, for a few seconds and then release the muscle and concentrate on that muscle relaxing. And work your way all the way up your body one at a time. It doesn't work for me anymore, nothing does recently but it might help someone else. My neck muscles get so tense it makes me dizzy and gives me a horrible headache.
@@DM-qp7do Read about the positive effects of b reathing on the brain [mind] on google search. I have been doing the breath observing practice since many years and enjoying it.

My trigger is a fast heart rate due to stressful thinking. Which then escalates. The calming trigger is to tell myself I've had these symptoms countless times before and not died. Works every time.
I’ve always had anxiety, since I was little. Now that I’m 27 I had my very first full panic attack. It started off as mild ones (not knowing they were panic attacks) for a few days in a row. I had something traumatic in my life happen. I was depressed and constantly thinking of that trauma. That’s where I messed up. One day my mid panic attack turned into a full blast panic attack right before bed. I felt like I was dying. My heart was out of beat and I was very well aware it wasn’t normal. So that made me panic even more making it worse! Then I started to feel like everything was unrealistic? Like in a dream or something, but like I wasn’t intact with reality. My jaw locked up and tongue, to the point i couldn’t swallow even if I wanted too. Felt like passing out a few times, breathing was difficult because my trachea was closing up involuntary. That did it for me, if my body wasn’t breathing voluntarily like it naturally should, and my heart is out of beat, then I’m dying right? The thought that idk what’s going on and feeling like I’m dying made it all worse. Intensifying all these physical symptoms 10x worse. Since it happened right before bed, now that’s a new trauma I had to overcome too since my first panic attack was very traumatic for me it was right before dozing off into sleep. I felt like if I gave into my sleep then I would die and never wake up. I thought that if I didn’t fight off sleep my body was going to shut off for good, the thought of dying scared me.. Now I have mid panic attacks daily. They last a good 2hrs. It’s true when they say you HAVE to find out the root of these. What is the deeper meaning of why you’re mentally putting your self in this mental phase for it to get to this point. Doesn’t matter how small or big it might seem, clearly to you it’s big enough to affect this badly. Talk it out to someone! Work on your mental health, don’t just think happy thoughts. Think of things that will physically put you in a happy mental place! If being told you’re not good enough due to childhood trauma is what triggers you… close you’re eyes and keep telling yourself you are and think of reasons why you are. But don’t just think, believe it too otherwise you won’t over come these attacks. Once they get bad, you have no choice but to ride it out, and it’s BAD. I highly recommend watching “The Secret” on Amazon Prime. It helped me out a lot! Mental affirmations and happy thoughts with positive thinking, to the point you believe in it will keep you clear of these attacks. I finally have mastered to keeping positive and feeling positive to the point I finally had my first sleep where I wasn’t having to fight sleep from fear because I was having a mid attack. My positive thinking and feeling let me block out these attacks. I woke up so happy from having a good night sleep that I haven’t had in a while due to these.
Hey Van. Read your story right now while i was having a panic attack , you are awesome dear. Just felt like you are narrating my own story specially the thing with sleep, i too had my first panic attack just before going to bed. Well out of this there is a great thing that we are still alive and we are capable enough to fight this. Thank you so much dear for sharing your story. You inspired me alot. You are not alone. I love you
@@yuvrajsinghchauhan6262 i hope both of you find a way to minimize/ eliminate your panic attacks in due time! You two are so strong for getting through all of this!
I recognize that same thing with mine, fast heart beat, sweaty hands and a sense of losing control or being detached from reality. And the more I think about it the more I get scared of something like that can repeat, afraid of people judging me. The thing we have to get focus is that the panic attack is not forever and like has an up, has a down as well
I have horrific panic attacks when I feel I’m going to die right there and then and have to Run and be away from everyone because of how I look when it happens. It’s mainly in surroundings of bright lights or crowds
Thank you so much, this video helped keep me calm, i was on the verge of a panic attack, ive had them a few times so i can start to tell when its going to happen, this is the first time ive stopped it though, thank you
Something I use. One thing I tell my own subscribers is that there are four planes that interact with each other. The physical, emotional, career and spiritual. The spiritual is your place in the universe. Or your sudden disconnect of this feeling. When an anxiety/panic or depressive attack happens you can minimize the symptoms by hitting these planes. 1) engage in 30-45 minutes of cardio exercise even if it is a speed walk. 2) Then engage in the emotional aspect--yoga/tai chi etc. 3) Then do something positive for advancement (what do I need to do to advance wherever I am--career, new vlog etc. The spiritual plane will settle back into equilibrium. If you execute this plan instead of sitting there hour after hour waiting for it to go away you will severely reduce symptoms or even send the attack back to the closed. Hope this helps someone. ---Charles
Had my first major panic attack Friday. I just got over a really bad cold that exasperated issues I never had before like heartburn etc (tested negative for covid-19 after having major cold symptoms) & then Friday I was driving home happy it was a 3 day weekend and my arms started throbbing and tingling pins and needles and my neck was vibrating swelling. My heart rate was staying around 130-150 according to my fitband device. It didn't stop after I got home so we called paramedics who arrived and suggested I get treated if nothing like that ever happened before. I was taken to ER and labs were ran. They determine I have SVT which I have to see a cardiologist for. Fast forward to today and I had the same thing happen again driving home! I kept doing the breathing and telling myself to stay calm but my whole face was vibrating and my eyes were fluttering and my mouth area felt swollen almost. I accidentally went past my exit and almost cried at cars in front of me letting people through without right of way while I was rushing to get home. Came home, immediately grabbed my CBD tincture and put it under my tongue and laid prone focusing on breathing and feeling the carpet. After a few minutes I made a big bowl of ice water and kept dunking my hands / elbows in it and put some cool cloths on my neck / ears. I think a combo of all that helped stop it. I need to find a way to treat this =/ I have never felt my body be out of control like this.
I have SVT too and I haven’t had a panic attack in months until today. I notice when I talk about my toxic family that is when my panic attack starts and my heart goes up. I find putting something cold on my chest or arm pit stops it. Or a cold shower. Taking deep breath’s never work for me. I also read You Can Heal Your Life and that gets me over it.
@@stephadam3702 my heart both times when I went to the hospital was at 210 bpm. It has not happened since December of 2019 Mines only happen from lack of sleep and stress and fear major anxiety. The Dr said I was born with it but my first episode was at age 38 2019 and the second one was at age 39 in 2019. I believe the lack of sleep won’t let your mind be free and clear enough from all distractions. If you get lack of sleep anxiety kicks in then fear of the unknown. Your heart will skip then BAM here comes SVT. Your brain can really stop SVT by telling yourself your okay. Every day tell yourself your CURE, repeat it several times and believe it, feel it! The healing process is AMAZING!! Also letting go of anger and resentment will cure SVT. The heart is love and to cure the heart you must fully love yourself and forgive others but don’t let them continue to break you down. After I lost my sister to covid last year I deactivated my Facebook and tried to focus on healing myself because it was depressing and I didn’t want to have another SVT episode. Try reading or listening to You Can Heal Your Life it is so inspirational. ua-cam.com/video/i58BeiqR1r4/v-deo.html And You Can Heal Your Body: ua-cam.com/video/Cubm1bJ90Hs/v-deo.html
This video helped me realize how funny I look like when having panic attacks. 😅 or maybe I really am but a happy soul who finds bright sides on situations. And so.. I didn't wanna look like that anymore. I worked on getting better everyday :) took me a year though before I got back to myself again. Sometimes it still hits me, but I can now control my thoughts and emotions and I keep telling myself that as long as nothings hurts I AM OK. Nothing to be anxious about!
The last one I had a couple days ago lasted for about half an hour It was triggered by something I don’t wanna be a person that suffers from panic attacks I don’t
This video helped me with my panic attack I just had . I started getting them when I was young (sometimes triggered sometimes not) had ekg to and my heart is not only fine but fit. The symptoms are always scary but this video helped a lot
Really wish this worked for me. Mine are so bad I have to drive to the emergency room at the VA. Last time I had to stop at a 7-11 and go inside just to be around someone. I told the cashier lady I was having a massive panic attack and needed to talk to her for a couple mins. She agreed and then I left as soon as I could. I can't even watch my favorite shows like House anymore because as soon as I see someone who has a heart issue or something bad wrong with them my body reacts like it's affecting me too and I have a huge panic attack. It's literally crippling and becoming so bad I don't want to live with it anymore. The VA won't do ANYTHING for me so I'm literally out in the cold. Thank God I went to Iraq and got for the army right?...
Yes I understand you, I constantly think I have a serious medical condition even when I don’t and I need to be around someone when it happens just incase. It will get better I promise
oh man I'm so sorry you are going through this. That must be really scary for you. Can you join any Facebook support groups, people will always be there to talk to you on them. x
I’m so sorry you are going through these, mine are this bad too where I feel as if I need to stop and talk with someone anyone, We are here for you. And I pray you have been healed. 🙏
My first one lasted for 4 hours, and I slept for 2 days, my second one lasted for an hour, but I felt my stomach churning for hours after that. Thank you so much for this video. I hope to never have another one, but if I do, I know how to manage it. Thank you.
i have to search on what to do when you're in panic attacked since a friend of mine keep having this episode and i don't know what to do. :( thank you so much for giving this informations
I have horrible panic attacks every night, ever since I experienced going into shock about a week ago. The only thing that helps is talking to other people about it when it happens. Dont be afraid to say something if its happening to you, it really goes a long way.
Hey I used to have panic attacks regularly ! 3/4 a week and I used to be thinking about them all the time , I came across one random video that assured me I would never have one again if I did this trick and if for some reason I did I had to do the trick again and that would be it gone for life …. I was sceptical ! So apperntly because every time you have a panic attack you panic haha like you wash your face with cold water you run out for fresh air you call someone to you phone the docs you run and tell your loved one, well all these things teach your body that when your about to have a panic attack something bad is happening your going to die so you go into the fight or flight which I’m sure you have heard and the trigger for these could be a random jolt in your stomach Vegas nerve or even just by any small trigger like a tingle or a pain or nothing at all it’s just happens for no reason , and way so here is the trick !!!! I want you to next time you feel a panc attack coming on or as soon as it starts no matter where you are sit down close your eyes and imaging your sitting in a chair in the sea with Wellington boots on filled with concrete so you can’t move , I want you to imagine that each wave of the water comes completely over your head is a wave of panic so the panic attack is the waves in the sea and you can feel them wave over. You and you can’t move don’t talk don’t speak sit there and suffer almost I know that sounds harsh and it will probably be the worst 5-20minutes of your life Literally it was for me. ,(or if they last longer sit for as long as they last doing this method they should be shorter with this method ) by doing this you instantly rewrite your brain into realising that you don’t need to have the same response when things happen in your body and that you are not dying you are safe , I promise you that this works and not only that I promise you anxiety does not last forever I succeed with it for two years at worst couldn’t leave the house and I’m 31 and everything going for me in life but that made no difference it held me back ! Soon as I got rid of the pannic attacks I then focused on my anxiety believe it ot not I done Cbt therapy hypnotherapy just two sessions cost me £80 for each one I’m not sure if it was hypnotherapy that works but it was like mindfulness meditation basically and that does work and I also done cbt therapy from my doctor was a online thing , I’m now anxiety and panic attack free . Wish you and any one who reads this the best ! It does get better and will get better the old you will be back in no time , “And in time this too shall pass”.
i just had one while i was driving. i was trying to tell myself i was ok and it didnt work, tried breathing but it still felt like i couldnt breathe. i just played my sad song playlist and started to sing along and it stopped talking in my head and got better. still the worst feeling ive ever had before and now im stuck with the worst migraine ever
Since two months I am having panic attacks now. First I did what everyone one says As soon as I have a panic attack I have to focus on anything so I forget the attack or listening to music that helped me but it is not a long term solution. Than I bought a book in german where the doctor explaines what happens in our body and mind when we have the attack and sometimes even it is our fault because we scares ourselves about thinking all the time when I am going to have to again. Than she write the solution of even ending them and so far I am pretty sure it will work because now i have since two days no attack and can sleep calmly. The SOLUTION is breath calm and don’t move tell your self you having the attack and nothing will happen it will go and let the attack happen. I know it is hard but only this way you feel after that so much better. It will happen nothing the attack will go after one minute and you good back again. I do this twice before I go to sleep to show my body it is nothing.
Wake up sometimes feeling "fight or flight", nausea and little dizzy and disattached.. Cold water on my face helps or going outside in the cold weather helps snap me out of it
The thing is you are not afraid but you are afraid of having panic attacks again. And that will control you if you do not try to fight that “Bad thoughts” early. So to all who suffer right now, put a stop to it early. Do not be afraid to die! We all die! Focus on the present! Stop worrying about past panic attacks and other shit. And last, if you have one, do the one in the vid. The shorter it lasts, you will feel better. Do not let it last longer or even trigger.
I felt like my second panic attack, but i may have eaten too much, i opened the windows and switched of the heater and drank a glass of water . Now feeling much better. Also spent a lot of time in the sun today ..

Wtf does mine wake me up out my sleep 3am,I was sleeping peacefully then all of a sudden OMG! it's the worst,I seldom get them,but when I do,I use my breathing coping mechanisms to calm me down,drink tea,watch UA-cam on my TV to distract my overthinking it helps,we're not alone,we're strong and will grow through it. Bless up..😚🙏🏽🌻☕🤘🏽
My first one rolled over me at the age of 8. I had no idea what happened. I wish I could write that it was the only one and I lived happily ever after. Like the first domino, it set off a childhood and teenage years of more and more panic attacks. A few months before I turned 19, I couldn't take it anymore and crashed. For about one year, I didn't meet anyone except for my parents. On the very last moment help came and I managed to get out and lead a fulfilling life with a family and work for big companies. I wrote a book, royalties donated, about this journey to help others in a similar situation. The book is called "The boy with the cheap running shoes" and is available with the biggest online retailer.
I really hate waking up at 3 am and having an attack, really scary stuff, for example the nightmare I had made me feeling like I was drowning but my dad made me feel better and distracting my mind with all these steps
Just started getting what I thought was vertigo this year ... turns out it's this.... at first I would get dizzy and hot and just need to lay down and I would feel much better but today within an hour of starting my work shift I started to feel the vertigo sensation 🙃... within 10 mins I was on the floor laying down with my fingers knotted up and having a numbing sensation through my waist up.... Definitely one of the scariest moments in my life. Anyone else have a similar experience and how they have learned to deal with it for next time?
Tips for a 10/10? feeling suffocated literally like you are being choked to death. Can’t feel you’re body, can’t focus on a single object mixed into blurry vision because you can’t even force yourself to breathe. Verge of passing out but breathing just enough to not to while still feeling like you’re about to fall over and die right on the spot?
I always fear that I’m just gonna randomly stop breathing and that I’m gonna die rn Then it gets hard to breathe and I panic even more Dose anyone else feel this way ;-;
Yes, and you’re not alone, I had my first ever panic attack the other day and I felt like I wanted to cry it was hard to breathe I felt like I was literally gonna die I even had my mom take me to the ER I had everything tested my heart was fine lungs and everything but I can say I’m young (16) and I’ve been smoking weed for about a year and vaping for about half a year to a year maybe, yesterday I gave everything up people say they get withdrawals but I haven’t had the sensation to hit a joint a vape or anything panic attacks probably quite literally saved my life but just know you’re not alone and you’re loved you’ve got this love all of you keep you’re heads up we’re all in this together
MAY GOD B WITH US ALL 4REAL ITS NO JOKE AND I HATE IT UGH. BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED WHAT SEEMS TO HELP ME THE MOST IS TO START PRAYING AND ALSO I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET FRESH AIR. LUCKILY 4 ME MY LAST FEW ATTACKS WERE AT NIGHT TIME I ITS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT COLD COOL AIR THAT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING. GOD BLESS
I'm having a panic attack. The feelings come and go. My fear is that I got drugged and I don't do drugs, and what if I run down the street naked or do something crazy and don't remember....The fear is just growing in different scenarios (I bought fast food and the lady was looking at me strange before handing me the bag....I ate it....NOW PANICKING!!!) It happens after I leave a drink unattended, or anything like that😭😭😔
If you haven't already find grounding techniques. It's the only thing that's helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks that and my family that's pretty much been there for me. I do all the things in this video, I usually have a bowl filled with ice cold water to dunk my face into if I feel panic trying to pop up it's face in, I carry a bottle of frozen water if I go outside,eucalyptus oil has helped to settle my anxious feelings and relax me, I have a cabinet filled with boxes of chamomile tea, I put vix on my chest because the smell helps ease my anxiety sometimes, I used to bite down on limes because the bitter taste would help me snap out of my panic sometimes. These have all worked for me. I don't know if they will help you but give them a try until you find what helps. I honestly hope you feel better because I know how much it sucks to feel this way.
I have been having a large amount of anxiety attacks the past month or so. My neighbor has been harassing me and I can't get help. Ive been looking everywhere for help but nobody wants to listen. I live in a isolated area and it seems nobody wants to help unless things are um super bad.
Had my first panic attack yesterday while the doctor was repairing a torn retina. If I moved my eye at the wrong moment, I would be permanently blind. So I had real fear for a real and immediate reason and it HURT!! The panic lasted much longer than the pain, but I need something to help me not panic at the next visit.
@@Youcantseeme-qs5po not everyday it was after a year, that attack hit me 5-6 times 2 days ago and I was left with a glucose bottle on the bed in the hospital left with no strength to move even my hand, had my brother and my mother near to help me, It was horrific and from now, I don't take any stress over anything
If you're having a panic attack right now... Go outside and start sprinting!! RUN as fast and as long as you can!!! It gives your body a physical thing to do to get your nervous energy out. Fight or flight WANTS you to run!!! That's what it's for. Your body giving you the energy to get away from a threat. If you run, then your body is like... ok we just ran really hard, so we must have escaped the thing we were afraid of, and the panic subsides. I PROMISE it helps it go down SO much faster than it would otherwise, because that feeling is meant to motivate us to take PHYSICAL ACTION. you will feel so much better. Plus endorphins help your brain feel better... So Go do it. Dont even look to see If anyone is watching, no one is. Run!!
I like to take a walk when I have a panic attack, it helps me to relax. I heard that this is common in people having panic attacks, walking distracts you and make the blood in your legs flow differently or something. So I guess running might help, I don't know, I haven't tried it..
My Panic Attack Process - Depersonalization - Disassociation - Dizziness - Heart racing - Feeling hot and cold - Tingling in my legs - Legs trembling - Overwhelming feeling of doom like i'm about to die or i'm dying or something is seriously wrong with me - My thoughts are that "i'm actually having a heart attack this time!", "I'm dying for sure this time!!!!!" or "I'm dying, i'm going to drop dead soon!!!" I HATE PANIC ATTACKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I started having mines in march of 2021 and havent had one for two months, thank you jesus but i've been experiencing many anxiety episodes. Hate this sht.
I understand how this would seem really good and reasonable for someone who isn't having a panic attack, but whenever I am having one, I cant think of these steps. I feel trapped and hopeless. It's hard to explain, but at that point things like these are the last that come to mind.
If you are able to find someone you trust and love who loves you to help talk you down. Having someone there to reassure you might get you out of an attack quicker. Good luck to you ❤
I don't care so much about the panic but the only thing is I keep thinking it's a heart attack or stroke. If I could come to terms with the fact that it's not either of those, then I am fine with it. I can't breathe, I get vertigo intensely, knot in my chest, pains, shooting pains, almost fainting, etc. I love coffee but it's terrible for them more than 2 cups a day.
Stop taking caffeine my dear it makes your anxiety worst. You’re not alone I also feel the same way. It’s horrible feeling but our feelings are just feelings only. at the end of the day we are safe..❤
Yerba Mate 🧉 doesn't seem to give me panic attacks at all, just coffee. Moreover, since this comment was posted, I haven't had a panic attack once since I limited my coffee intake
I just got out of the emergency room this evening after spending 4 hours there. I suffered a debilitating panic attack 3 days ago and it just wouldn't stop. I get them like this periodically and no technique will relieve them. It's horrible. They eventually gave me some medication to alleviate the anxiety. And that seemed to work somewhat. When medical bill is going to be thousands of dollars because of this disorder. It completely takes over your life
Dude breathing just makes the feeling more intense. I was into meditation before I got my first one. So I tried that during one. And holy hell. Like wow. Never again lol.
The only thing that would stop my panic attacks was a doctor telling me im am perfectly fine and healthy and there's nothing wrong with me but they said if I keep going to the er everytime I get a panic attack which is often...ima be put in a psychiatric hospital so i didn't know what to do, music has helped a bit but I still get paranoid ,I was thinking of learning to take my own vitals so I can prove to myself that I'm fine and not dying.
This is exactly how I am right now. The feeling of a doctor needing to tell me I am ok. after numerous visits to the hospital. I need to be talking to someone during mine. I hope you are well.
This is literally me. They always tell me nothing is wrong with me but can see my blood pressure go up and my heart rate. I’ve been getting them so often it’s ridiculous
Mine lasts for like 2 hours, I’ve watched and commented trying to distract myself on over 20 vids. You’re not alone, God’s got you and we will get through this❤️
Turning to God during my panic attacks is very therapeutic for me
@@samalan1274 he’s got us always💯
Thank you for this, I’m having one right now and that really helped :)
Amen, God is here and listening. Turn to him and ask for his strength. Jesus is King!
Thank you I’m on one rn well I’m afraid it’ll come back
Anyone who suffers from panic attacks knows that you cannot just take some deep breaths and feel better, the intensity of a bad attack is overwhelming.
Read The Power of Now
I agree you struggle to even get a short breath out
I've learnt (Mainly cause of peer pressure) to keep in myself. Tho if anyone talks to mean I literally act like a madman. Getting angry super fast, or wanting to go home and cry are some symptoms. Ik it's hard but if I overcame it you can too :). Tho I agree is kinda bs
@@frangkiskosmelanitis6904 I'm not nearly as bothered by panic attacks as I used to be, they are more just an irritation these days though still very nasty things to experience. I think the real harm they can do is to ruin peoples ability to enjoy life in between the attacks, some people if they are not having a panic attack they are in dread of having one which is the worst state to be in, I don't worry about having them anymore. Good to hear that you managed to beat them.
😭😭😭
“I’m not dying” that’s the one for me right there 🤧🤧

Lol this didnt help
@@mattdagangsta this video doesn't help me
@@nataliefitzgerald it didn’t help me at all either tbh. It generalizes the feeling too much. However me telling myself literally “I am not dying I am only panicking unnecessarily” can sometimes get me on the right track. I hope you’re okay 💝 I’m here for you
@@mattdagangsta I'm only 10 and i am scared of these it makes me feel like I can't breath and stuff
Came here with my panic attack and anxiety-induced nausea, it's so lovely to see all the other comments of solidarity and support ☝🏻💪🏻 super helpful video! Hope everyone has a relaxed and healthy day 🤗
Same to you!
Nausea , oh man I’m not alone . I suffer from panic attacks and after I eat I panic and get nauseous
Holy shit I’ve been looking for others that have the same thing. I literally can’t even eat cause I’m scared to get sick. When dealing with really big things, (like rn it’s going back to college) I get bad panic attacks and get instantly nauseated. I usually throw up and get a fever due to it. How do you deal with the nausea, I’ve been getting it since October 2021 and I don’t know how to deal with it.
I get this too :( the nausea makes me panic and the panic makes me nauseous! I find that thinking ‘it’s ok if you throw up’ and almost letting go so my body can throw up if it wants helps. I never actually throw up though, very weird!
I usually have 2 panic attacks a day. I try to get my mind focused in something else but honestly it’s hard when I’m having one. It’s so easy for people to say just breath or calm down your fine. I’m doing much better being able to control them, but sometimes it take over me. I’m thankful I have my husband and mother and sister to help me out.
I agree. I have learned that running hot water and sitting in it helps me a little bit. Or walking back and forth in the bathtub while it’s running.
Yes I kno exactly what you mean I have them bad and I try so hard to take my mind of it when it comes on but it’s so hard.. I have them so often especially when I’m ready to go outside I just pray and ask gos to please remove this from me..
Excatly i experience the same working out and building confidence also helps don't worry we will fight this together😊
Lucky girl
Just had my first attack last night, I thought the "heart skip" was just normal ( bc it happens sometimes when I get up too fast) but then the tip of my tounge went numb and I got really dizzy.. I went to go lay down but then started to worry... then my heart started to race, and it wouldn't stop.. so me, my gf and son went to the ER.. I had a whole panic attack for almost an hour.. in and out of almost having another one with every passing second.... I try to keep myself calm and to do calming things.. but its all in my head... I always have my subconscious making me worry and scared.. I tell myself everything is fine but then at the same time I'm freaking out... I fell asleep last night even after the ER, in and out of panic... I think the reason why is because of the fear it'll be like this forever... The feeling of hopelessness... the thought of "should I end it here" "if I'm going to have this happen to me constantly, then I should just end it now." "When can I have my life back" " Why me?" " what have I done to deserve this?" Etc. Believe me when I say that I've had what was thought to be a "mild" panic attack... but last night.... I don't ever want to experience that again..
How long did it last
I suffer to with panic attacks for years take some benzow and revtrol anticam what ever you can get your hands on I would try out 5 first and dabble you your slef
Caffeine alcohol make them 10 times worse i had to give up the two
And don't forget coke a cola has caffeine in it
wow so glad you're here!! ❤️❤️❤️ you helped me
This might help when you're just nervous, but trust me, getting hit by a real 10/10 attack is another level, Mr. Wellness.
Yep. Been through it many times, and I’m sure a lot of people here know what that “this is it” panic attack is like. Even talking about it with my friends or family can set me off.
I agree. They don't have it as bad as us but im glad its helping them. But when your legs literally won't move, you're shaking uncontrollably, your muscles tighten up so much that they spasm, you can't eat or drink anything because your stomach is so cramped you'll just throw it all up i need a little more help than this. But I do appreciate the video, I do appreciate it has helped people with mild anxiety or with some it just sounds like common anxiousness. Im also glad they don't have to experience that 10/10 attacks. Because there's nothing worse on earth that I've experienced, its not even explainable to those who haven't experienced it.
Agree 🥺
the first one is the worst of them all
@@zaido007 Well even if we don't agree with the video at least we know we're not alone, or weird. If a 10 car pile up happens right in front of me id think nothing of it, id go straight to helping people as cool as can be, but if I need a soda from the store?...
Yesterday I had my first panic/anxiety attack and it was the most horrifying experience I've ever had. I thought I knew what it was about but I couldn't be more wrong. Having someone to talk to through that experience is crucial to overcome it. If anyone reads this comment I sincerely hope you understand that what you experienced is not something out of this world and that many many many people go through it. We are all in this crazy shit together. You are amazing!
If it's any help to you, the first ones always the worst and now you've had one, if it happens again tell yourself you made it through one already 🙂
Thank you, I was in Mid panic attack while watching this, and was afraid to tell my parents that I was having one. It was going on for a wile and was Really scared, but by doing what they said to do , I calmed down with in the next 5 minutes! I really felt like I was going to fant and it was one of my bad ones so thanks for helping me over come this one!!

A message to those that come here due to panic attacks or anxiety.
I used to have panic attacks every day. I couldn’t leave the house.
They ended for me when i learned a teaching from from Mingyur Rinpoche the Buddhist Monk. The secret is to not run. Dont try to make it go away. Trying to escape or avoid panic is the very thing that keeps it alive. Meditation and relaxation videos like these are great BUT, if you are using it in order to escape panic or anxiety then it will simply keep it alive in the long term. The way out is to truly accept how you feel in the moment, allow your thoughts, allow the sensations and recognise that it is uncomfortable but not dangerous. At first your mind will tell you you can’t, but it is a lie, then you will try to accept only to attempt to make them go away, which also does not work as it isnt really acceptance. Then finally all you have left is to truly accept it. And If you can learn to truly accept then you will be free. The first stage is you will no longer be afraid of it. Then the symptoms will fade until they disappear completely. It works, and it works for everyone I promise! Sincerely hope you conquer them too.
I hope what you are saying here is really appreciated in all its value. Great contribution. Thanks!
I’ve been suffering all week with panic attacks, I’m hoping this helps
I have a panic disorder that I developed a few years ago after finding out about a heart murmur. This weekend will be the first time I spend a few days completely alone, and I'm freaking out about it already. I just know multiple panic attacks are waiting around the corner for me. I can always call my girlfriend and she's a great help even if she lives in a different country. But because of the 7 hour time difference, and the fact that she works, she's not always there when I need her the most through no fault of her own. I'm pretty terrified and don't have anyone around to turn to. My friends wouldn't know what to do even if they knew about my disorder.
I have this disorder too, i am taking medication and therapy...It's helping
I have the ones where you feel like you're going crazy. They started a few years ago absolutely randomly, but back then I could feel them come on because I'd get this feeling like someone just poured water over my head and I could physically feel it run down my body. Sometimes they're harsher than other times, like auditory hallucinations and a general feeling of unwellness in my body and my mind. I've become a pretty terrible alcoholic because I refuse to take medication for anything and alcohol seems to keep the attacks away and even minimalize how bad they are. It sucks to be 30 years old and the last 4 years of your life have been hell, all because of panic attacks. I wish I could go back to 25 when the worst of my issues was depression. I never signed up to trade depression for anxiety. But it's not the end of the world, even for me. So if you're out there and you're reading this, you're going to be just fine. Breathe, preoccupy yourself and stick to the proper methods of coping with your illness. I love you.
Mine situation same here right now

Austin I've been searching the comments to find someone that feels how I feel. And i found you. I've never really talked to anyone about this shit because how can they possibly understand how we feel? Im far from suicidal but I tell myself during an attack "well at least if I have a heart attack and die the suffering will be over and nobody will think im weak for having panic disorder. Sound about right? If so hit me back man, mabey we're not crazy, mabey we can help each other. Fuck I don't know, something has to be done man that's all I know.
@@DM-qp7do Austin, I hear you. I suffer too. Consider the DARE app, and the book DARE by Barry McDonagh. Saved my mind and probably my life.
I used to get small panic attacks, in school when I got stressed. And would start crying. Then my anxiety made me feel like everyone was staring at me 🙂
Me too, I didn’t realize they were panic attacks because i thought the only real panic attack are the extreme ones. I’m glad I know I’m not alone cause mini panic attacks are still scary even if it’s not extreme.
Always remember "there is no real danger" when you're having panic attack 😉

@@nataliefitzgerald it's OK. When they happen focus on calming yourself down. The best way I've found is talk to yourself and tell yourself you are OK. Stuff like "I'm OK, this is weird but it will pass. I'm fine I'm in control." And truly breathing is key breathe slowly through your nose and out through your mouth. 4 seconds in and 4 seconds out.

My trigger is a fast heart rate due to stressful thinking. Which then escalates.
The calming trigger is to tell myself I've had these symptoms countless times before and not died. Works every time.
Helped me so much. Was at the beginning of my attack when I started watching and was chilled by the end of the vid.
I’ve always had anxiety, since I was little. Now that I’m 27 I had my very first full panic attack. It started off as mild ones (not knowing they were panic attacks) for a few days in a row. I had something traumatic in my life happen. I was depressed and constantly thinking of that trauma. That’s where I messed up. One day my mid panic attack turned into a full blast panic attack right before bed. I felt like I was dying. My heart was out of beat and I was very well aware it wasn’t normal. So that made me panic even more making it worse! Then I started to feel like everything was unrealistic? Like in a dream or something, but like I wasn’t intact with reality. My jaw locked up and tongue, to the point i couldn’t swallow even if I wanted too. Felt like passing out a few times, breathing was difficult because my trachea was closing up involuntary. That did it for me, if my body wasn’t breathing voluntarily like it naturally should, and my heart is out of beat, then I’m dying right? The thought that idk what’s going on and feeling like I’m dying made it all worse. Intensifying all these physical symptoms 10x worse. Since it happened right before bed, now that’s a new trauma I had to overcome too since my first panic attack was very traumatic for me it was right before dozing off into sleep. I felt like if I gave into my sleep then I would die and never wake up. I thought that if I didn’t fight off sleep my body was going to shut off for good, the thought of dying scared me.. Now I have mid panic attacks daily. They last a good 2hrs. It’s true when they say you HAVE to find out the root of these. What is the deeper meaning of why you’re mentally putting your self in this mental phase for it to get to this point. Doesn’t matter how small or big it might seem, clearly to you it’s big enough to affect this badly. Talk it out to someone! Work on your mental health, don’t just think happy thoughts. Think of things that will physically put you in a happy mental place! If being told you’re not good enough due to childhood trauma is what triggers you… close you’re eyes and keep telling yourself you are and think of reasons why you are. But don’t just think, believe it too otherwise you won’t over come these attacks. Once they get bad, you have no choice but to ride it out, and it’s BAD. I highly recommend watching “The Secret” on Amazon Prime. It helped me out a lot! Mental affirmations and happy thoughts with positive thinking, to the point you believe in it will keep you clear of these attacks. I finally have mastered to keeping positive and feeling positive to the point I finally had my first sleep where I wasn’t having to fight sleep from fear because I was having a mid attack. My positive thinking and feeling let me block out these attacks. I woke up so happy from having a good night sleep that I haven’t had in a while due to these.
Hey Van. Read your story right now while i was having a panic attack , you are awesome dear.

Something I use. One thing I tell my own subscribers is that there are four planes that interact with each other. The physical, emotional, career and spiritual. The spiritual is your place in the universe. Or your sudden disconnect of this feeling. When an anxiety/panic or depressive attack happens you can minimize the symptoms by hitting these planes. 1) engage in 30-45 minutes of cardio exercise even if it is a speed walk. 2) Then engage in the emotional aspect--yoga/tai chi etc. 3) Then do something positive for advancement (what do I need to do to advance wherever I am--career, new vlog etc. The spiritual plane will settle back into equilibrium. If you execute this plan instead of sitting there hour after hour waiting for it to go away you will severely reduce symptoms or even send the attack back to the closed. Hope this helps someone. ---Charles
You're not alone! You got this!
Mine last 2-4 HOURS. Talk about thinking you're going to die! Went to hospital got every test imaginable- Panic Attack. HORRIBLE shit.
Had my first major panic attack Friday. I just got over a really bad cold that exasperated issues I never had before like heartburn etc (tested negative for covid-19 after having major cold symptoms) & then Friday I was driving home happy it was a 3 day weekend and my arms started throbbing and tingling pins and needles and my neck was vibrating swelling. My heart rate was staying around 130-150 according to my fitband device. It didn't stop after I got home so we called paramedics who arrived and suggested I get treated if nothing like that ever happened before. I was taken to ER and labs were ran. They determine I have SVT which I have to see a cardiologist for.
Fast forward to today and I had the same thing happen again driving home! I kept doing the breathing and telling myself to stay calm but my whole face was vibrating and my eyes were fluttering and my mouth area felt swollen almost. I accidentally went past my exit and almost cried at cars in front of me letting people through without right of way while I was rushing to get home. Came home, immediately grabbed my CBD tincture and put it under my tongue and laid prone focusing on breathing and feeling the carpet. After a few minutes I made a big bowl of ice water and kept dunking my hands / elbows in it and put some cool cloths on my neck / ears. I think a combo of all that helped stop it.
I need to find a way to treat this =/ I have never felt my body be out of control like this.
When u find something let me know because I have this complete exact thing right after a covid isolation
I have SVT too and I haven’t had a panic attack in months until today. I notice when I talk about my toxic family that is when my panic attack starts and my heart goes up. I find putting something cold on my chest or arm pit stops it. Or a cold shower. Taking deep breath’s never work for me. I also read You Can Heal Your Life and that gets me over it.
@@Christinesworldspice what is your heart rate and what triggers your svt?
@@stephadam3702 my heart both times when I went to the hospital was at 210 bpm. It has not happened since December of 2019 Mines only happen from lack of sleep and stress and fear major anxiety. The Dr said I was born with it but my first episode was at age 38 2019 and the second one was at age 39 in 2019. I believe the lack of sleep won’t let your mind be free and clear enough from all distractions. If you get lack of sleep anxiety kicks in then fear of the unknown. Your heart will skip then BAM here comes SVT. Your brain can really stop SVT by telling yourself your okay. Every day tell yourself your CURE, repeat it several times and believe it, feel it! The healing process is AMAZING!! Also letting go of anger and resentment will cure SVT. The heart is love and to cure the heart you must fully love yourself and forgive others but don’t let them continue to break you down. After I lost my sister to covid last year I deactivated my Facebook and tried to focus on healing myself because it was depressing and I didn’t want to have another SVT episode.

This video helped me realize how funny I look like when having panic attacks. 😅 or maybe I really am but a happy soul who finds bright sides on situations. And so.. I didn't wanna look like that anymore. I worked on getting better everyday :) took me a year though before I got back to myself again. Sometimes it still hits me, but I can now control my thoughts and emotions and I keep telling myself that as long as nothings hurts I AM OK. Nothing to be anxious about!
The last one I had a couple days ago lasted for about half an hour
It was triggered by something
I don’t wanna be a person that suffers from panic attacks I don’t
This video helped me with my panic attack I just had . I started getting them when I was young (sometimes triggered sometimes not) had ekg to and my heart is not only fine but fit. The symptoms are always scary but this video helped a lot
I've been having multiple panic attacks a day with no apparent triggers. This helped me immensely
Really wish this worked for me. Mine are so bad I have to drive to the emergency room at the VA. Last time I had to stop at a 7-11 and go inside just to be around someone. I told the cashier lady I was having a massive panic attack and needed to talk to her for a couple mins. She agreed and then I left as soon as I could. I can't even watch my favorite shows like House anymore because as soon as I see someone who has a heart issue or something bad wrong with them my body reacts like it's affecting me too and I have a huge panic attack. It's literally crippling and becoming so bad I don't want to live with it anymore. The VA won't do ANYTHING for me so I'm literally out in the cold. Thank God I went to Iraq and got for the army right?...
Hey I have similar experiences. Look up and try to stretch your psoas muscle.
Yes I understand you, I constantly think I have a serious medical condition even when I don’t and I need to be around someone when it happens just incase. It will get better I promise
oh man I'm so sorry you are going through this. That must be really scary for you. Can you join any Facebook support groups, people will always be there to talk to you on them. x
I’m so sorry you are going through these, mine are this bad too where I feel as if I need to stop and talk with someone anyone, We are here for you. And I pray you have been healed. 🙏
Thanks 🙏!!!
I get these anytime I go around people. Its lead me down a road of drugs to self medicate. Family reunions are the worst.
My first one lasted for 4 hours, and I slept for 2 days, my second one lasted for an hour, but I felt my stomach churning for hours after that. Thank you so much for this video. I hope to never have another one, but if I do, I know how to manage it. Thank you.
I tried.. thank god for Ativan!!
I had one just niw while watching this. Thanks. It really helped
I don’t know why but this video in particular made me feel better
Thank you, this helped me!

Just had one but I’m better now...writing helps!

God help me I'm so sick of this
Read The Power of Now.
Thxxx for help me i will try
I have horrible panic attacks every night, ever since I experienced going into shock about a week ago. The only thing that helps is talking to other people about it when it happens. Dont be afraid to say something if its happening to you, it really goes a long way.
Hey I used to have panic attacks regularly ! 3/4 a week and I used to be thinking about them all the time , I came across one random video that assured me I would never have one again if I did this trick and if for some reason I did I had to do the trick again and that would be it gone for life …. I was sceptical ! So apperntly because every time you have a panic attack you panic haha like you wash your face with cold water you run out for fresh air you call someone to you phone the docs you run and tell your loved one, well all these things teach your body that when your about to have a panic attack something bad is happening your going to die so you go into the fight or flight which I’m sure you have heard and the trigger for these could be a random jolt in your stomach Vegas nerve or even just by any small trigger like a tingle or a pain or nothing at all it’s just happens for no reason , and way so here is the trick !!!! I want you to next time you feel a panc attack coming on or as soon as it starts no matter where you are sit down close your eyes and imaging your sitting in a chair in the sea with Wellington boots on filled with concrete so you can’t move , I want you to imagine that each wave of the water comes completely over your head is a wave of panic so the panic attack is the waves in the sea and you can feel them wave over. You and you can’t move don’t talk don’t speak sit there and suffer almost I know that sounds harsh and it will probably be the worst 5-20minutes of your life Literally it was for me. ,(or if they last longer sit for as long as they last doing this method they should be shorter with this method ) by doing this you instantly rewrite your brain into realising that you don’t need to have the same response when things happen in your body and that you are not dying you are safe , I promise you that this works and not only that I promise you anxiety does not last forever I succeed with it for two years at worst couldn’t leave the house and I’m 31 and everything going for me in life but that made no difference it held me back ! Soon as I got rid of the pannic attacks I then focused on my anxiety believe it ot not I done Cbt therapy hypnotherapy just two sessions cost me £80 for each one I’m not sure if it was hypnotherapy that works but it was like mindfulness meditation basically and that does work and I also done cbt therapy from my doctor was a online thing , I’m now anxiety and panic attack free . Wish you and any one who reads this the best ! It does get better and will get better the old you will be back in no time , “And in time this too shall pass”.
i just had one while i was driving. i was trying to tell myself i was ok and it didnt work, tried breathing but it still felt like i couldnt breathe. i just played my sad song playlist and started to sing along and it stopped talking in my head and got better. still the worst feeling ive ever had before and now im stuck with the worst migraine ever
Driving seems to aggravate mine as well. It helps to stop and walk around a bit
@@aaronhuffman6417 thanks, thats a good idea
I’ve been having panic attacks recently and I got sick for 2 days from one and I’m having one currently and it’s the worst ever.
Since two months I am having panic attacks now. First I did what everyone one says As soon as I have a panic attack I have to focus on anything so I forget the attack or listening to music that helped me but it is not a long term solution.
Than I bought a book in german where the doctor explaines what happens in our body and mind when we have the attack and sometimes even it is our fault because we scares ourselves about thinking all the time when I am going to have to again. Than she write the solution of even ending them and so far I am pretty sure it will work because now i have since two days no attack and can sleep calmly.
The SOLUTION is breath calm and don’t move tell your self you having the attack and nothing will happen it will go and let the attack happen. I know it is hard but only this way you feel after that so much better. It will happen nothing the attack will go after one minute and you good back again. I do this twice before I go to sleep to show my body it is nothing.
Wake up sometimes feeling "fight or flight", nausea and little dizzy and disattached.. Cold water on my face helps or going outside in the cold weather helps snap me out of it
Mine is opposite cold weather makes my anxiety more worst 😢
The thing is you are not afraid but you are afraid of having panic attacks again. And that will control you if you do not try to fight that “Bad thoughts” early. So to all who suffer right now, put a stop to it early. Do not be afraid to die! We all die! Focus on the present! Stop worrying about past panic attacks and other shit. And last, if you have one, do the one in the vid. The shorter it lasts, you will feel better. Do not let it last longer or even trigger.
You are not alone,
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏❤️
I really, really wish it was as easy as this video makes it seem like it is.
We’ve got this bro you’re not alone everything’s okay I promise bro keep ya head up
I felt like my second panic attack, but i may have eaten too much, i opened the windows and switched of the heater and drank a glass of water . Now feeling much better. Also spent a lot of time in the sun today ..
Do you maybr have any advice for panic attacks what occur while driving?
First thing would pull over as quick as you can then follow these steps
Same 😢
PotatO Reduce negative thoughts. Its quite simple but a strong desire is needed. . Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts and anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes or more. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation is not needed. Whenever you are free during the day or night before sleep sit or lie down still and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Do the above practice daily to have a good life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
Wtf does mine wake me up out my sleep 3am,I was sleeping peacefully then all of a sudden OMG! it's the worst,I seldom get them,but when I do,I use my breathing coping mechanisms to calm me down,drink tea,watch UA-cam on my TV to distract my overthinking it helps,we're not alone,we're strong and will grow through it. Bless up..😚🙏🏽🌻☕🤘🏽
My first one rolled over me at the age of 8. I had no idea what happened. I wish I could write that it was the only one and I lived happily ever after. Like the first domino, it set off a childhood and teenage years of more and more panic attacks. A few months before I turned 19, I couldn't take it anymore and crashed. For about one year, I didn't meet anyone except for my parents. On the very last moment help came and I managed to get out and lead a fulfilling life with a family and work for big companies. I wrote a book, royalties donated, about this journey to help others in a similar situation. The book is called "The boy with the cheap running shoes" and is available with the biggest online retailer.
congrats!!!!.... NOW IM MID PANIC ATTACK CAN SOMEBODY HELP A LITTLE XC XD
It made me remind myself that I’m okay and that I’m not dying and besides I don’t think you can die from a panic attack
I’ve been having panic attacks since I was 9 and I’m 15 now and they’re still getting worse
Thank for this my girl always having a panic attacks but i dont know what to do but thanks for this i know what to do now thank you!
When I say to myself that I'm in control, when in fact I don't, makes me more anxious. 😔
Ive been having one for 4 hours and this is very helpful :(
I just came out the hospital a couple days ago from this!!!
Me too, I was so convinced I was having a heart attack. Doc couldn’t find a thing wrong with me. Must’ve been my first one
I just had laat night... I was thinking of going to a hospital.. but I calmed myself and just prayed to sleep. Now it feels like I'm lightheaded
I really hate waking up at 3 am and having an attack, really scary stuff, for example the nightmare I had made me feeling like I was drowning but my dad made me feel better and distracting my mind with all these steps
Very nice and informative video
Just started getting what I thought was vertigo this year ... turns out it's this.... at first I would get dizzy and hot and just need to lay down and I would feel much better but today within an hour of starting my work shift I started to feel the vertigo sensation 🙃... within 10 mins I was on the floor laying down with my fingers knotted up and having a numbing sensation through my waist up.... Definitely one of the scariest moments in my life. Anyone else have a similar experience and how they have learned to deal with it for next time?
Tips for a 10/10? feeling suffocated literally like you are being choked to death. Can’t feel you’re body, can’t focus on a single object mixed into blurry vision because you can’t even force yourself to breathe. Verge of passing out but breathing just enough to not to while still feeling like you’re about to fall over and die right on the spot?
I love you. You helped me
I always fear that I’m just gonna randomly stop breathing and that I’m gonna die rn
Then it gets hard to breathe and I panic even more
Dose anyone else feel this way ;-;
Yes!
Yes, and you’re not alone, I had my first ever panic attack the other day and I felt like I wanted to cry it was hard to breathe I felt like I was literally gonna die I even had my mom take me to the ER I had everything tested my heart was fine lungs and everything but I can say I’m young (16) and I’ve been smoking weed for about a year and vaping for about half a year to a year maybe, yesterday I gave everything up people say they get withdrawals but I haven’t had the sensation to hit a joint a vape or anything panic attacks probably quite literally saved my life but just know you’re not alone and you’re loved you’ve got this love all of you keep you’re heads up we’re all in this together
Thanks because I’m near graduation and I need to make up for a lot of work
I fully just passed out on the floor and was scared but having had recent anxiety overloads I think it was that
Thank you so much…. It is good advice, ❤️
MAY GOD B WITH US ALL 4REAL ITS NO JOKE AND I HATE IT UGH. BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED WHAT SEEMS TO HELP ME THE MOST IS TO START PRAYING AND ALSO I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET FRESH AIR. LUCKILY 4 ME MY LAST FEW ATTACKS WERE AT NIGHT TIME I ITS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT COLD COOL AIR THAT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING. GOD BLESS
I'm having a panic attack. The feelings come and go. My fear is that I got drugged and I don't do drugs, and what if I run down the street naked or do something crazy and don't remember....The fear is just growing in different scenarios (I bought fast food and the lady was looking at me strange before handing me the bag....I ate it....NOW PANICKING!!!) It happens after I leave a drink unattended, or anything like that😭😭😔
If you haven't already find grounding techniques. It's the only thing that's helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks that and my family that's pretty much been there for me. I do all the things in this video, I usually have a bowl filled with ice cold water to dunk my face into if I feel panic trying to pop up it's face in, I carry a bottle of frozen water if I go outside,eucalyptus oil has helped to settle my anxious feelings and relax me, I have a cabinet filled with boxes of chamomile tea, I put vix on my chest because the smell helps ease my anxiety sometimes, I used to bite down on limes because the bitter taste would help me snap out of my panic sometimes. These have all worked for me. I don't know if they will help you but give them a try until you find what helps. I honestly hope you feel better because I know how much it sucks to feel this way.
I have been having a large amount of anxiety attacks the past month or so. My neighbor has been harassing me and I can't get help. Ive been looking everywhere for help but nobody wants to listen. I live in a isolated area and it seems nobody wants to help unless things are um super bad.
Had my first panic attack yesterday while the doctor was repairing a torn retina. If I moved my eye at the wrong moment, I would be permanently blind. So I had real fear for a real and immediate reason and it HURT!! The panic lasted much longer than the pain, but I need something to help me not panic at the next visit.
No amount of trying to talk my self down does anything for my panic attacks or anxiety
I am watching your video today cause panic attacks hit me 5-6 times, it was hard to calm down and got nearly admitted in a hospital.
How many times a day do you get panicked?
@@Youcantseeme-qs5po not everyday it was after a year, that attack hit me 5-6 times 2 days ago and I was left with a glucose bottle on the bed in the hospital left with no strength to move even my hand, had my brother and my mother near to help me, It was horrific and from now, I don't take any stress over anything
THANK YOUUUU
If you're having a panic attack right now... Go outside and start sprinting!! RUN as fast and as long as you can!!! It gives your body a physical thing to do to get your nervous energy out. Fight or flight WANTS you to run!!! That's what it's for. Your body giving you the energy to get away from a threat. If you run, then your body is like... ok we just ran really hard, so we must have escaped the thing we were afraid of, and the panic subsides. I PROMISE it helps it go down SO much faster than it would otherwise, because that feeling is meant to motivate us to take PHYSICAL ACTION. you will feel so much better. Plus endorphins help your brain feel better... So Go do it. Dont even look to see If anyone is watching, no one is. Run!!
I have a question what about heart rate??? While having attack heart rate are always higher so can we run ??
I like to take a walk when I have a panic attack, it helps me to relax. I heard that this is common in people having panic attacks, walking distracts you and make the blood in your legs flow differently or something. So I guess running might help, I don't know, I haven't tried it..
My Panic Attack Process
- Depersonalization
- Disassociation
- Dizziness
- Heart racing
- Feeling hot and cold
- Tingling in my legs
- Legs trembling
- Overwhelming feeling of doom like i'm about to die or i'm dying or something is seriously wrong with me
- My thoughts are that "i'm actually having a heart attack this time!", "I'm dying for sure this time!!!!!" or "I'm dying, i'm going to drop dead soon!!!"
I HATE PANIC ATTACKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I started having mines in march of 2021 and havent had one for two months, thank you jesus but i've been experiencing many anxiety episodes. Hate this sht.
I understand how this would seem really good and reasonable for someone who isn't having a panic attack, but whenever I am having one, I cant think of these steps. I feel trapped and hopeless. It's hard to explain, but at that point things like these are the last that come to mind.
If you are able to find someone you trust and love who loves you to help talk you down. Having someone there to reassure you might get you out of an attack quicker. Good luck to you ❤
I don't care so much about the panic but the only thing is I keep thinking it's a heart attack or stroke. If I could come to terms with the fact that it's not either of those, then I am fine with it.
I can't breathe, I get vertigo intensely, knot in my chest, pains, shooting pains, almost fainting, etc.
I love coffee but it's terrible for them more than 2 cups a day.
Stop taking caffeine my dear it makes your anxiety worst.
You’re not alone I also feel the same way. It’s horrible feeling but our feelings are just feelings only.
at the end of the day we are safe..❤
Yerba Mate 🧉 doesn't seem to give me panic attacks at all, just coffee.
Moreover, since this comment was posted, I haven't had a panic attack once since I limited my coffee intake
@@AECommonThread2137 glad to know that more power to you
I am a depression patient so please tell me what should I do ??
Having a panic attack rn and this helped me get through it. Thank you!
Me too. That's why I'm here now
Same
I just got out of the emergency room this evening after spending 4 hours there.
I suffered a debilitating panic attack 3 days ago and it just wouldn't stop. I get them like this periodically and no technique will relieve them.
It's horrible.
They eventually gave me some medication to alleviate the anxiety. And that seemed to work somewhat.
When medical bill is going to be thousands of dollars because of this disorder.
It completely takes over your life
Dude breathing just makes the feeling more intense. I was into meditation before I got my first one. So I tried that during one. And holy hell. Like wow. Never again lol.
The only thing that would stop my panic attacks was a doctor telling me im am perfectly fine and healthy and there's nothing wrong with me but they said if I keep going to the er everytime I get a panic attack which is often...ima be put in a psychiatric hospital so i didn't know what to do, music has helped a bit but I still get paranoid ,I was thinking of learning to take my own vitals so I can prove to myself that I'm fine and not dying.
Always remember "there is no real danger" 😉
This is exactly how I am right now. The feeling of a doctor needing to tell me I am ok. after numerous visits to the hospital. I need to be talking to someone during mine. I hope you are well.
@@corarockstarrthankyou
@@corarockstarr How many ER visits have u had?
This is literally me. They always tell me nothing is wrong with me but can see my blood pressure go up and my heart rate. I’ve been getting them so often it’s ridiculous
I like the tightening muscles throughout the body technique, as doing this would help your body to relax.
I've had 4 attacks in the past 3 days...I hate this. I've never had them prior
1: talk yourself off the ledge 0:49 (your ok)
2: breath (deep, from nose to mouth) 1:13
3: stay in the president 1:35
4: progressive relaxation 2:03
The thing is having a panic attack while you are alone its manageable, but having one while you need to read aloud in class is 10000 times worse
I have cptsd . This is good but is not easy at all!
Very helpful advice
Thnx sir❤️
