Combat Veteran Has MASSIVE PTSD/ ANXIETY Attack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- I told you guys I would document myself having an anxiety attack / PTSD one of these days and unfortunately today was the day that happened. I woke up this morning pretty normal and felt fine, but after a few minutes of being awake I started to get the most uncontrollable adrenaline rush type feeling very similar to being scared for your life in combat. Luckily I had my wife with me and is able to help me calm down once I get way to deep into an anxiety attack. This one lasted almost 20 min straight of pure fear.

140 days sober from opiates, i used for 10 years. I can finally be free god gave me another chance. I make youtube videos about my progress thought maybe it might help some people. I know watching your videos inspires me. Proud of you bro we do recover and heal. All that pain and suffering from years of addiction has took a toll on me. Getting better everyday we should do an interview i think people would like it well related we all have a story that is similar but mine is just mind blowing
Partners, pay attention to how Danielle assists. She doesn't keep him from moving around. She reiterates that he's safe, redirects the focus (talks about the mountains), and does NOT hover. 10/10
💯
Thankyou for sharing Mate!
She essentially puts herself at risk I don’t know why people with PTSD want to be in relationships they are a danger to those around them. I know because my neighbour was murdered by her husband he killed her and their 2 week year old baby. RIP Alice & Sammy 😔💔
@@enishalihoward8119 I am sorry about your neighbor, but don't lumb together all people with PTSD, they are not monsters, they are humans, just like you. They are allowed to be in relationships and they deserve to be loved.
@@enishalihoward8119 If someone is violent or aggressive, they certainly are dangerous regardless of their reasons, but it's both factually and morally wrong to say all or the majority of people with PTSD are violent. It's just not true. They do deserve love and support, and they aren't monsters.
You have a solid woman by ur side my brotha. She’s a sweetheart
Hell yea bro you’re absolutely correct. Thank you man. Aye now y’all see why I was tripping out about her a week ago lmao
@@danielsinrecoveryis that your baby's mother?
One of the most interesting things about anxiety related episodes/disorders is that the individual may appear fine or not that bad on the outside, but on the inside it feels like hell. This is one of the things that makes mental health disorders very dangerous.
Definitely! We ''look'' ok...but feel awful.
Thank you for serving our country. You can do this. I’m sorry you are going through this but I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you, you are very kind!💯✌🏻
Im so glad you have a sweet beautiful woman with you! She did amazing! I have my mom here but she yells at me for it so it usually sends me into a seizure with my epilepsy. I so happy to see you have someone there for you!
Yessss she is definitely a lifesaver. It’s crazy how much she helps. If I went through this on my own I would have been really freaking out probably about to start clearing my house for enemies lol
As someone that deals with panic attacks this hits hard. Almost triggering because I know that feeling of pure fear and adrenaline to the point you think you might die. Thank God you got good support
It’s pure adrenaline and I remember one time I got a panic attack and I literally asked someone to help me because how bad it is
Hey hunnie I also suffer from ptsd and anxiety attacks your not alone I'm here for you thank you for your service
thank you I appreciate it!!!!
I'm so so sorry bruh I can't imagine I was diagnosed with sever ptsd and underfed a treatment team and still go through it from time to time. It pass and just keep telling yourself it wont last forever. Its extremely hard bruh.
Hell yea bro it’s definitely intense! That feeling u get is litteraly just insane. It’s just the largest adrenaline dump my body has ever felt
@@danielsinrecovery first time it happened to me I thought I was going to die or something. It literally put the fear of god in me. I hope your doctors can help you with figuring out your best steps to deal with it in a healthy manner. I hope you doing better today.
I feel you man. I was in the army 20 years, retired in 2020. I have the same intensity and type of attacks. It's like earth shattering panic and a feeling like I cant breathe. Your not alone man. I thought my problems would get better when I was out. No. It got a million times worse.
You'll be OK
This is no joke. My husband served three years and it took him over a year just to transition back to reality.
6 years before he was over his PTSD from service. First year was the hardest for him, He would pull and get on top of my body covering me when loud sounds would go off including the kids, when he came home one day the neighbors teenagers thought it would be funny to throw fire crackers into the yard to get a reaction and he came out with his gun fully loaded, ended up getting rid of it the next day. Hope u get threw this
I’m crying, this validated SOOOO much for me. Hope you get well soon, all the best
My partner left me in the bathroom. Said I'm scaring the kids and shut 3 sets 3 doors on me. So they couldn't hear. I wish I was having a heart attack in that moment. My abandonment trigger kicked in and I was screaming and crying hysterically.
dam thats harsh
Your wife’s sooo helpful when she keeps hugging & reassuring you!! Im sure you know ab slow deep breaths & getting out in AIR. Trying to refocus eyes on 1 thing at a time helps crazy dizziness. Also- I realized I had to change up some things in my life to kind of help ward off possible attacks as much as possible. It’s a doubled-edge sword on freedom bcuz I like being able to go/do things anywhere anytime but when these hit it massively takes that freedom away. So- however I can plan ahead, I do. (can’t plan for the attack but I’m saying I try to reduce potential triggers) like for instance, going away somewhere when there’s fireworks, never sitting with my back to anyone coming in, always scoping ahead wherever I am even fr my car & having clear view and A WAY OUT, pre-planning routes & taking whole different route even if it’s longer. Some may call it avoidance behavior - I call it saving myself.
Thank you for sharing this! I deal with the same shit bro. I am single though and when it happens to me I am alone. It’s the loneliest feeling in the world. I feel like I can’t breathe and I can’t even call anyone because it’s too intense.... glad you filmed this and shared it!
Yes bro that’s exactly how it is! Supper scary stuff honestly. U can hit me up if it ever happens again with you. I definitely know how that is! Thanks tho I appreciate you bro!
Thank you for posting this for people who may have partners or friends with panic attacks. they can be so sudden and really ruin any moment but if you have the right people it won’t feel so bad.
You’re very lucky to have a girl like that man, thank you for serving for our country man ❤️
Hey brother 20 year anxiety and panic attack sufferer here one thing I did notice about your attack and for future attacks is I see you always breathing from your upper chest this prolongs the tightness and can cause you hyperventilate breathe from your stomach I know this is hard to do and remember during an attack so tell your partner about it so she can remind you sending love and healing vibes from Sydney Australia
Thank you for your service, man. Glad to see you got a good, understanding wife
I got out of the Army after 3 tours, I’m 40 now. I’ve been experiencing these for over ten years now. It sucks, but I have gotten to the point where I feel like I have more control over them. I’m glad you’re putting this out there.
As I’m watching you I’m just thinking
“Oh ya he’s having a rough one”
I don’t know if you’ve tried but splashing my face with cold water can help lessen the intensity for me.
Hope you stay strong brother
Literally this is is me. You remind me of myself completely in all sorts of ways
Cold showers or push ups have really helped during a panic attack if anyone is looking for ideas 💛
It is so good that you have good family support! ❤
Yesssss 💯
Thank you for sharing this... Up until seeing this, I thought I had to have tears in my eyes to be "bad enough" but I realize I'm going through your motions- and my condition is very real. Thank you for your strength and open-ness.
I got out about a year ago.. ptsd has been kicking my ass hard. I can heavily relate to this. When I get my episodes I tend to cry which really sucks because that makes me not want to go out of the house. We also look about the same age thank you for sharing man at least I know I’m not alone. (Oh shit I just saw some of your other videos, I was a medic too bro. Airforce)
Hey big guy. No need to cry, you saved lives and saw some intense stuff but you are home now with people that truly love you. May the Creator wash away all of your nightmares and bring you your greatest dreams and happiness.
hey props to you for filming this bro, wishing you the best!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it man!
Heyo, just want to say thank you for posting this video. It is so brave and selfless of you to share this moment with us and other people so they can see what PTSD can do, what panic attacks feel like and how to regulate your body and mind while going thru It. Well done, bro.
There is no way y'all actually believe this.
You look like you’ve never been through anything hard in your life, no wonder you don’t believe it lmao.
When she said "look at that mountain they have no more snow over there". I immediately thought it's clearing path ways for the enemy to advance. Geeze
I believe making a video would be the last thing on my mind in the middle of a panic attack lol great way to draw in some views though 👍
@@joshuafausett3026has he provided proof of being in the military?
Thank you for protecting us and serving our country ❤️
Thank God she's there to help you that's one good wife or girlfriend God bless
Yes she is awesome! Thank you.
God bless you man, I’ve been dealing with panic attacks for a whole year now, since my grandpa passed away last year and it’s been a very tough journey, but nothing that big for God and remembering that he is in control of my life and everything. Hope you are doing better and just remember, Our Lord and Savior gives his worst battles to his toughest warriors!
Man I have anxiety disorder man I know the feeling. It’s important for those in our lives to try and understand what we’re going through and that there isn’t much logic to the panic attacks half the time.
Know that feeling well.. had it many times. God bless you bro. It’s a battle that you can win
Thank you brother
youve inspired me to start my own channel n hopes to help others struggling with addiction / help me withmy own accountability., u being real and vulnerable is helpful to alot of people bro. thanks for doing ur thing
Shit is real bro. When I get that shit I feel like I’m going to die.
ya man back when i was working at a quarry doing 12 hours minimum hard labor almost all day everyday 6 days a week, then going hard asf on my only day off partying and doing a bunch of drugs i had this crazy ass anxiety shit happening for a week straight it was almost like this i had to walk around outside luckily it was cold asf during that time so it shocked my body but damn bro i feel your pain. you get light headed asf and that adrenaline like you said and the second you feel better your just waiting for the next wave to come in. its just a mental game and you gotta come out on top or fall victim to it 💯
I don’t know why but when I was watching it made me so sad I was crying for both you and Danielle, I to have them horribly and I think God for my husband he does a body compress and then moves me around they say the compressing the body to another body helps the anxiety, sometimes I get it so bad I throw up. But I don’t know Daniel I’ve seen a lot of people I have panic and anxiety attacks but for some reason I was really sad for you, and thank God for Danielle She knows what to do she’s a good woman and now we’ve all met her just being funny but she’s awesome and you’re awesome you need to give yourself a pat on the back and then you need to go pat her on the back, awesome to both of you I think God I found your page.
Thank you Cynthia I appreciate you! And Yessss! There is definitely something to do with touching skin to skin with another person when u are having anxiety like this. If anyone has the ability to do this , then definitely take advantage because it will absolutely help!
Cynthia, Have you an animal? A dog or cat?...They can really help if they lie alongside.
Start pacing around outside. Moving always helps. Fight or flight. Beta blockers are a lige saver. They block adrenaline. The root cause of panic attacks. Talk to your doctor.
Yes getting up and outside to some fresh air definitely helped me out big time!!! I do have those I have the colonidine and I did take one during this
@@danielsinrecovery if you dont have beta blockers get your doc to write you some. Propanolol or metoprolol
Damn brother, I literally get the same thing, you aren't alone.
Dude, I feel you brother I have PTSD from using from needles also survived a housefire so I understand what you’re going through
Daniel... we need to talk. U know me and you are 100% that’s why I’m saying to call me. I’m not gonna say much but I’ve been watching all the lasted videos and you need someone who u can be yourself and vent to. Looking forward to your call later bro....hope it’s getting better today.
Yea bro I’ll definitely hit u up
That's an angel right there, to hold you and comfort you like that
They divorced now she ain't no angel
It's good to see somebody have an anxiety attack like mine because it tells me I'm not alone (I don't wish it upon anybody don't get me wrong). I'm not a veteran in fact I got my anxiety issues from abusing weed. Started smoking really young age (13) and ended up having too much stress from not doing well in school and the pressure that came with that. After about 2,5 years it's finally getting better and I'm grateful for that. Never been to a doctor with it but at one point I almost was going to because I had daily issues with bad anxiety and every few weeks I would have an attack like this in the video.
A year ago I couldn't even watch this video without having anxiety myself but I'm fine now. It's awesome that it got so much better! :)
The person who helped me a lot goes by the name of Dr. K He's an incredibly smart and nice person who studied at Harvard. He's quite young so he understands the current world better in my opinion. There's too much to say about him but all I can say is go check out his youtube video's or his foundation's website. He has video's about most psychological topics.
He created a non-profit foundation that gives health care to people who cant afford it and with some of the money he made an online "guide" to understanding certain concepts and how to improve/solve them. I haven't bought the guide myself but if I'm ever going to fall back into having anxiety issues I will for sure buy it. coaching.healthygamer.gg/guide
Like I said it doesn't just include anxiety it goes into depression and lots of other topics. He has a introduction video if you're interested it's the link above.
Best of luck to everyone, stay strong! :D
I just checked the prices and it's only 20$ for a module and 50$ for every module. That's a snatch for everyone needing knowledge about your mental issues. Hope I helped somebody!
I have PTSD too. Sending love and comfort. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏💗
Yes it’s a blessing to have someone love you through your panic attacks. I wish I was loved like that
Yea usually when I’m freaking out I have to have somebody help me calm tf down, it suckkkks. But amazing to have somebody like this💯
Wish I had a woman like this to comfort me... God bless
Yes she is AMAZING. Thanks for watching bro I appreciate you!
@@danielsinrecovery no worries. Stay well brother
You are an American hero, we truly appreciate your service. You are strong man, you got this. 🤘🇺🇸
I have this issue too man glad you got people to help you man
Thank you for serving. 😭 I love how she’s supporting & comforting her man. 💜
Not a veteran I have PTSD from my childhood some fucked up shit.
That breathing hard while shivering and not even feeling cold is the scariest part for me like you can’t take full breathes and the uncontrollable shaking.
I usually turn the shower on piping hot and just stand there some reason calms be after awhile.
yesss i know it, its the absolute worst ever
Yeah shit sucks, and like you said , that shot really sucks when your alone. Been having a really hard time and been wanting to use so bad.. keep it together bro
Thanks bro. It was definitely a really rough one this time! Doing a lot better now! I appreciate it!
Mine always begins by me feeling weird and woozy and like I’m gonna less out 😢
When I used to get panic attacks, I couldn’t and wouldn’t even leave my house.
Yea that’s horrible bro
Thankyou so much for sharing this ......it makes you more relatable when you show your problems to people...I can't stand it when some people try to make it seem as though their life is perfect....this is real life stuff ....I deal with depression and anxiety as well....and your wife is an angel for helping you through your panic attacks ...I wish I had someone to help me with mine but my spouse doesnt understand it and he thinks I am exaggerating......so you are very lucky to have a partner that understands ...
Anxiety attacks are horrible I’m sorry for you your girl is a sweetheart
I'm a trucker I have PTSD and Anxiety shit is the worst.
Hi I hope you are doing well. I just found this video due to my ptsd I can relate to your symptoms. I also remove myself from the room when it starts. That helps a bit and just trying to focus on something else.
Thanks for sharing this bro!
My anxiety seemed to stem from a fear that something was physically wrong with me on the inside. I was alone through most of it, but sometimes i would call the ambulance service, usually they told me that there's probably nothing wrong with me, but I felt like it had to be something wrong, because my heart was racing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, pain in fingers, chest, back, stomach, under arms, over arms, I was sweating like hell, then i was cold..
and i mean, this would often happen in the evening or the night, some periods it would happen every day. I am super happy i could call my mom at anytime, be it day or night, she would pick me up where o lived and we would drove towards the hospital, but i would always go 'let's drive around the block and see how it goes, but don't drive too far away from the hospital '. We would sometimes drive for hours, when it calmed down, i would say, 'maybe we can try driving home now, it's kinda better' even if it really wasn't. It often got worse the farther away from the hospital we went, so sometimes we would start driving home, but somewhere along the way, it would kick in again, the anxiety of being all alone in the night with (what i thought was) physical danger. After a dozen visits to the doctor and the ER and a visit to a cardiologist, they all told me there was nothing physically wrong with me. It finally stopped, my logic kicked in, i too was now convinced that nothing was wrong with me and it was all in my head. Then when the fear was gone, so went the anxiety. It still happened sometimes, but i was now able to handle it on my own, knowing that it's just a mental reaction, it all subsided after a couple weeks. But while it lasted, it was the worst 2 years of my life.
Oh, and stay off Google, heart attack symptoms and anxiety symptoms can look similar when you're searching the web, go see your doctor, and try to trust them.
I think the fact that i have had lukemia at age 18, and then got diagnosed with the same genetic error that caused my father to suddenly die at the age of 49, i didn't get a lot of info from the doctor on what that would mean for me, i just got some medication for it. A year went by with me still not knowing what that would mean for me. Lasted for about 2 years, and all it took was more elaboration on WHY there was nothing wrong with me.
I was 15 when i got leukemia, got rid of lukemia at age 18, then i was about 24 when i got that other diagnosis. It. I am soon to be 28 and the anxiety is still gone. Anyone experiencing anything similar, hang in there.
It's fuckin bullshit having anxiety or panic attacks it's so debilitating and every time it happens I tend to get fixated on it and then I'm just scared for the next time it's going to happen but for some reason I always think it's a stroke or an aneurysm or something else crazy that's going on with me it is literally so fuckin stupid, it's like the worst mental health issue to have especially if you're having these episodes multiple times per day I'm so fuckin sick of it, I wake up and it's the first thing I think about when's it going to happen again oh my God it happened last night is it going to happen today I get fixated on it and then I drive myself into another anxiety attack which is totally different from a panic attack but man I'm sick of it never had this issue my whole life except for the past 2 years it just keeps getting worse and worse every fuckin day, when I have these episodes I just want to be by myself I don't want to talk to anybody so it's good you have somebody you're comfortable enough with to be able to talk with during an episode! The weird thing with me is I know it's coming on because my vision gets all messed up like I'm dreaming or having an out of body experience or something everything just seems weird and my heart rate goes up, trouble thinking feel like I'm about to black out and then boom full blown panic shacking dry mouth heavy breathing I'm still convinced I'm about to have a stroke but hopefully it's just panicking anxiety disorder! It sucks
I hope you feel better
Thanks man I appreciate you!!!
I found that picking appointment focusing on it helps maybe stare at the mountain ranges and look for details specific ones that you can go to and locate every time you need to go outside on your deck I know sometimes that helps me to give it immediate redirection to my thought process
Good advice!
I know the feeling … trying to distract yourself and tell yourself what’s happening so it stops a bit. For me being around people makes it worse because of them looking and perceiving me.
Anxiety sucks!!! Hang tough Brother
Yes it does! And will do thanks bro!
just saw this yr old video..I have Anxiety & ptsd I think I'm dying when I have mine most of the time. scary
Wow danielle is a great wife. Awesome. You guys are great.
Yes she really is bro! Thanks for watching brotha!
Those suck I hate them to me it feels like having a heart attack
Yes it literally does! It’s horrible
@@danielsinrecovery hope you feel better make sure you are staying hydrated
Tully the legend himself
@@ghhgghgghgghyg4422 herself lol
I understand your feeling. I feel like getting out and running as fast as I can. But I tell myself is just adrenaline
Yup, it’s tough man
We love you 2, stay strong
Rooting for you brother!
Thanks bro I appreciate you!
Handled it like a champ best way to do it is have a friend and take your mind off it like you did with the mountains
Been there bro, it's not fun, and with me I'm unable to express shit, can't stop moving, and shake hard.
Not trying to doubt you or be rude but have ever seen combat? Just wondering if that is why u have ptsd
When I have panic attacks I think the people reassuring me that I’ll be ok are out to get me and lying to me. it makes me freak even more.
Owch props for being able to film and share u have a good girl on ur side
Sorry my guy I get that shit too. Hope you feel better.
Omg no body knows how to help me when I'm going through that.
I have had this type of shit last year few times. Not the best feeling at all.
Basically you are fighting with yourself to control that state of mind and body and get out of it ASAP!
You have great support, I'm really jealous of that. I have no one, even worse, they don't believe thats its even debilitating. Just got in in have to work for 40 hours a week whilst have these 20 times a day. I guess I'm going to be homeless in a while.
Dude thank you for making that video no one understands what I try to tell them about the adrenaline it's like driving your car and going up over the hill and on the other side the traffic is stopped and you don't know if you're gonna be able to stop it's like that times 10 or more sometimes I can't handle it man and nobody can understand My doctor Put Me on someome medicine and it almost works but it just keeps me right there on the edge they said I had nodules on my adrenal glands but I was in combat in Vietnam And as I've gotten older it's just gotten worse People think I'm faking that people think I'm crazy is just unexplainableAnd it's like the doctor doesn't even take it serious but it's to the point to where I feel like jumping out of the beach is going down the roadI don't think I would ever do it but the thought rushes across my mindDon't ever do anything stupid man I've been stopping myself for yearsI'm 67 and these doctors think I wanna get high or something shit if I want to get high I wouldn't be going to themI've been here all my life I know everydrug dealer isHe wants to try me on some ketamineI'm Is Lery of that shit too.
I feel you bro!
Thanks Jen! And yea I know it! U got some pretty bad anxiety too!
Everyone who thinks that Anxiety is "just having bad thoughts, just dont think like that" should watch this. Anxiety isnt a fricking joke, it isnt just an excuse, it is real and PHYSICALLY painful experience. When I used to have panic attacks, I would get muscle spasm and headache that hurt so bad that I felt like I am about to have a seizure and wanted to call ambulance. Last thing you think about is going and being at work/school. It is serious and can control the direction of your life.
Nobody to hold me when I suffer. But so many people to make fun of me. Gonna end it all soon. So tired of this after so many years.
Benzo withdrawals feel like what u described. For me anyways. When I pig 🐷 out n eat through my script to fast
yea that can happen 😂
@@danielsinrecovery vinnie. From jersey shore. That’s who u look like a bit. It just hit me. I was like I seen this guy before. Past life ? Lol
People want reform in this country how about some healthcare reform for veterans our troops deserve better, as a 42-year-old man living with PTSD I feel your pain brother keep fighting the good fight
Absolutely brother thank you for the support
Propanalol t think can help with your type of anxiety. It’s a beta blocker, which means it blocks adrenaline and the effects of it, which can prevent you getting that form of anxiety. I think past meth use can cause a lot of anxiety you wouldn’t normally have. Anxiety comes about from racing thoughts about negative emotions or past experiences which can lead to panic attacks which is the most extreme form of anxiety.
yea i have that as well as clonidine, they both work for me but they make me goto sleep like legit no matter what so i can only really take it at night is the issue
I'm so sorry. Do you get paranoia during your panic attacks? My ptsd/anxiety is heavily rooted in agoraphobia and I don't know why.
Yes I would absolutely say so. I’m paranoid of everything when I’m like that. Just a bunch of adrenaline running through me and then I just start feeling so sketched out it sucks but it does eventually wear off on it’s own and it dies down then goes away
@@danielsinrecovery yeah, I remember riding them out when I was 20 before they put me on benzos and it was just like that. Keep staying strong and be proud of every time you get through one without a benzo; that's a victory in itself. I'm glad you have such a great relationship with your wife. Hope to see you on a live stream soon :)
We both live in Vegas and deal with anxiety
It gets worse in the house once your outside it’s better
I never Been Drafted ButI have PTSD From StreetWars
Sorry to see that Bruh. I box breathe 4 sec. in, hold for 4, out for 4. Thru your nose.
In a few mins in passes. Sometimes my vision vibrates with every heart beat.
Me after my first dab hit
Lmao!!!!
We're here for you
Thank you 💯
Mine happen at work and one of my symptoms is shaking and its fucking embarrassing. I work with a surgical team and when they happen i want to run out of the damn door but i work through it and it eventually goes away. The surgeons tells me, im gonna need you to quit shaking. I tell him alright im trying, itll go away. But it takes time and it did eventually go away. So me and the surgeon are talking about my panick attack while everyone else is watching and listening. It sucks and i feel like an asshole for couple days thinking about it. I hate anxiety attacks. I see normal people who work all smooth with no shakiness and i just envy them. Damnit. Theres really nothing i can do or take either. Breathing helps but it just takes time.
Sorry for the long reply. Last year me and some Army mates met up in London for a reunion, was meant to happen the year before, but COVID took over. So the wait was definitely worth waiting for. Was great to catch up and shoot the shit and I hadn't laughed so much in a long time.
During one trip down on the underground/tube/metro my mate had an episode, suddenly looking around and hyperventilation and was clearly stressed.
Some ignorant arsehole idiot came over and said, "You're scaring my kids." We immediately just said "Calm down he's got PTSD, have some respect." He suddenly became all apologetic and suddenly wanted to take the moral high ground. We just ignored him and helped our mate.
Hate to turn this on me, but people have commented on my hand tremors before, it's embarrassing for me, late 20s to be spilling a bit of coffee at a coffee shop, for example because of my hands. Some days are worse than others. If my hands are really bad, I just massage them and the wrist, might not help, but it certainly is comforting for me.
I believe mental disabilities are much worse than physical, because people can SEE the physical ones. Whereas if you have an episode and you look fine, with no obvious injuries, hardly any one wants to help you for fear that you're just a crazy person.
You've got a great woman there.
Sorry for the long reply, if you don't mind me asking, were you in Afghan?
Earned yourself another subscriber.
From one brother to another, much❤️ from the UK
Bro panic attacks and anxiety attacks are the worst. I hate them and there is nothing that works for when they happen I've had them last for hours before
Yea bro it’s horrible! I get them sometimes.
It's hard to get out of the box. It's so tight and there's no air, the walls are too tall to climb. Sometimes the only way out is when someone is willing to get in the box with you.
Standi g on their shoulder
How high does your heart rate go up to on a panic attack? Just had one last week after doing too much blow and hitting a dab pen. I started to feel numb, vision was blurry, short of breath, breathing heavy, thought I was gonna have a heart attack. I check my Apple Watch and I was 180bpm and then that freaked me out even more. Checked it again a min later and it was 200bpm and that freaked me out even more. I had to lay down. Now dealing with residual anxiety and feeling like anything could set me off a few days later. Shit sucks bro.
