    I don't think I have social anxiety, and I don't have panic attacks, but the part of over thinking and being too worried about what other people think and thinking everyone secretly hates u was really relatable, I think that almost everytime I wanna hang out or just go and talk to someone. But it doesn't happen to me with strangers, bc I know that they probably aren't gonna see me again

      Yeah anxiety disorders can still be present even if you don’t have “attacks,” as long as you’re anxious to the point that it makes your day feel disorderly, it’s probable that you have one.
      Worrying to the point that it’s abnormal and interrupts day-to-day life or (in your case) makes social interactions straining can be a sign that you’re not a normal amount of stressy. 100% valid, anxiety attacks or not.

    When I was in middle school, I had this fear of heart disease. Just the idea of blood clotting in my arteries, and my heart stopping at any time (without me knowing), really terrified me as a kid.
    My school was having an assembly at the gym. We were all sitting in the bleachers, and they had a presenter entertain the crowd. As the event was taking place, I was contemplating about my "vulnerable heart" getting clogged by heart disease. As a result, my chest began to tighten, my breathing was miniscule, and my arms froze in place. It felt like my entire body was shutting down, which only increased my anxiety even more. I started to hyperventilate, and wheezed uncontrollably. Everyone stared at me, and the faculty took me into the nurse's office. Whether the event was postponed because of me, I didn't know for sure.
    At the nurse's office, the paramedics arrived and asked me what was wrong. In a fit of tears, I told them about my fear of heart disease, and I genuinely thought I was going to die. After they calmed me down, they explained to me that I was having a "panic attack". My body acted in self defense because my brain was in such distress. Back then, I didn't know that the mind had such a powerful effect on the human body. It was quite the eye-opening experience, let me tell you.
    Nowadays, I've learned to compartmentalize my fears and anxieties by taking deep breaths, and writing them down on paper. Sometimes creativity can come from cathartic releases.

      I’d had something like this, but instead of heart disease, it was pretty much any fatal disease. If my arms were aching, I’d complete overshadow the idea that i just worked out, and assumed that I had a terrible muscle infection. I was indeed such a hypochondriac, and it drove everyone else around me crazy whenever I’d talk about my health concerns.

    One time when I was venting to a friend about my social anxiety and insecurities they said that I should grow up and it’s all in my head and that I’m a selfish drama queen that seeks attention
    I really can’t control having emotional outbursts or panic attacks and my friend said “what about my feelings? Why can’t you think about the people around you that have to deal with your problems? The world doesn’t revolve around you.”

    I just had one of my worse anxiety attacks a few days ago. I was crying, couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, and threw up multiple times. Hearing you talk about this was like looking into a mirror. I have these thoughts all the time and it is an endless struggle. I'm on anxiety meds which are helping a ton. I'm doing better with my anxiety, but it's still an uphill battle. I am in a new place right now so to cope I'm taking my copy of The Lost Heir everywhere with me. I have my squishmallows to cuddle with. I hate being like this. Also She-Ra and The Princesses of Power is my favorite show of all time. This video made me feel less alone. You've changed someone's life by making this video, you've changed my life. Thank you.

    "It really is that easy sometimes, but It doesn't always feel like it."
    Accurate. My anxiety is exactly like yours, the cutting and everything.
    About a year ago, My mom bought almond milk because she thought I liked it, but I didn't. I much preferred dairy but I didn't say anything because What if she freaked out about it because she spent so much money on almond milk, or she thought I had somehow been lying to her? Somehow, the topic got brought up in therapy and my therapist told me to ask my mom. In my head I said "absolutely not" but I promised her I would.
    So after my therapy session, I got in the car and my mom said "How'd it go?
    "Good, but there's one thing she said I may want to ask you."
    "Sure! What's up?"
    "Um can we switch to dairy milk? I like it more than almond."
    "Sure, just finish the gallon we have at home, okay?"
    It is that easy to ask for help, or advocate how you feel.
    Edit: I did not think a story about me being too scared to ask for milk would get so much attention. ty!

Small controlled steps that get bigger are the way to teach your brain that it doesn't need to be scared, because it has a plethora of experiences large and small to back it up. Logic doesn't stop anxiety, but it can help us understand how it works. Trying to treat ourselves how we would to treat others in our shoes is important in not beating ourselves up.

      It may be easy for some people to ask for help or convey their emotions, ( not trying to be mean or anything in ANY way) but for me I never ask for help because I’m always wondering what people think of me and etc , all the feelings of anxiety even though I haven’t ever been diagnosed . And it takes so much work for me to ask my mom or even my grandma or anyone in my family or even anyone on the internet that is my friends for help or something like I’m thinking in my head what will they say? How will they respond ? Etc etc etc... and it just tortures my poor head with these emotions. ( sorry for sharing this, but not all anxiety is the same, and some people are just self conscious , shy people and it’s harder for them to convey stuff, like me,) thanks for listening 💜

      One person's struggles don't negate another person's struggles. Say one person was stabbed in the neck and another was stabbed in the thigh. The person with the neck wound needs the quickest attention, but that doesn't mean that the other person wasn't stabbed or isn't hurting. They're both struggling.

    The first time I ever had a panic attack was on an overnight school trip. I was staying in a tent with some girls who I was sort of friendly with but we weren't friends, while everyone else was out hanging out at the 'party'.
    I was so scared of leaving the tent to go do anything with anyone because I just had a recent massive falling out with my two best friends and I knew I'd be alone,and my phone was almost dead with nowhere to charge it,and I started panicking.
    I kept telling myself "No no no I promised myself I wouldn't do this again" and I kept repeating it until I was having a full blown panic attack in my tent.
    I had this moment of clarity though when I heard a sudden loud boost of a song I recognized,and I realized what was happening,and did everything I'd heard online to fet myself out of the panic attack.
    Still scary to think about what could've happened if I hadn't had that moment of clarity because I had started to hyperventilate

      You're really lucky, my first panic attack was also at a school trip.
      I was alone and I started hallucinating sounds (due to short sleep), heart pounding, overthinking, crying and derealizating, I thought I was going crazy. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore my bff appeared, she really saved me, I hugged her instinctively.
      She told me I could of asked for help, but in that moment it just didn't appear on my mind with all the overthinking and panic, and if i had gone to ask help whatsoever it would've added more overthinking because all my life I had never asked help for emotional distress. :)
      Wish you a great life, hope nothing like that happens to you.

    Having something textured to touch (I prefer my cat or a silicone brush), music, and something to smell or taste helps a lot

      The corollary: every stranger who glances in your general direction for even a moment, recognises you from a video of you making fun of your appearance which has been created and gone viral without your knowledge. You will never be able to live a normal life again because literally everyone in the world will recognise you and will laugh in your face. In fact, you are such a meme that people have started making up false stories about you. You can't even relax at home because every car door or voice that you hear from outside is actually somebody coming to storm your house and drag you out into the street. If you try to grow a beard or cut your hair or whatever to be less recognisable, then your parents will worry about you and decide you are secretly gay, but were unable to come out to them, and they will blame themselves and die of shame and/or guilt.

    My panic attacks are horrible. Your description of them was the most perfect description I’ve ever heard. Most of them are terrifying and I end up spending hours in bed, often crying, basically having the same thing you have. I don’t have any good solution for them though, other than identifying which thought processes lead to me getting in a panic, and trying to stop them before i have an attack.
    The worst (now second-worst) one I’ve ever had was my first. It was nearly 6 years ago and is the most horrifying thing that’s every happened to me. It was such a strong, powerful shock that it didn’t just trigger my fight or flight instincts I lost all control of what I was doing and just starting running, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t control myself, I had no clue what was going on, I just kept running, even from my own family. It took more than a hour to end and had scared me ever since because I’m always worried that it’ll happen again as almost every panic attack hits me with an overwhelming impulse to run.
    Unlike you I’ve never resorted to self-harm or anything like that. At least, not in the traditional of way of inflicting injuries to myself... In a way though that’s made things worse for me since there are times where I’ll get an attack so strong it makes me really suicidal just because I want it to stop, it overwhelms me with so much it feels like there’s no escape.
    *EDIT:* I had a really nightmarish attack last night. I felt that since this the only place I’ve really spoken about my panic attacks, I should mention it. It was honestly the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. It lasted 5 hours, the longest one I’ve ever had, and I just couldn’t cope with it. I was so overwhelmed with everything that I was right on the verge of ending everything just to escape from it. Luckily someone online was really kind to me and spent 3 hours talking to me until they were able to calm me down.
    I’m incredibly lucky. I wasn’t ever going to tell that person. But if I didn’t I wouldn’t be here, so I’m making sure I learn from the experience even though it was horrifying.

      I’m sorry this keeps happening to you. I have panic attacks as well. When I’m standing, I also get the impulse to move as much as possible and sometimes it results in random runs around my block until I can barely breathe. But when I’m sitting it’s the opposite. I feel like everything is tensing up and I can’t move any part of my body including my eyelids, so I just sit there staring and spiraling for about ten minutes. I’ve never had one as long as you and I really hope I don’t, but it seems that we have slightly similar experiences so if you ever need to calm down, I could be that new person that helps you online.

    • @justanotheryoutubechannel
      @justanotheryoutubechannel 4 роки тому +11

      Ann Burke Your panic attacks are really similar to mine, except mine are much longer. When I’m standing up, (and even lying down sometimes.) I get these intense urges to run, and run, and never stop. It’s really scary since I don’t know what I’ll end up doing. Most of the time I just end up lying in bed and panicking horribly and struggling to move or do anything. Like you do, it’s super hard to move anything while my mind spirals out of control. I can usually control my eyelids but when one’s really strong I end up forgetting to blink and I just lie there struggling to even control my eyelids.
      Mine generally last longer than 10 minutes, although I can get some short ones, but I also have a degree of control. In the events leading up to a panic attack I can sometimes stop it early by ending the thought process leading me into a panic, but I often don’t manage that and then for 20 minutes through to several hours I have almost no control over anything, but eventually I can pull myself out of one slightly early if I can determine what thought processes are causing the panic, and then stop them.
      I hope you don’t have to suffer any really long ones. They can be absolutely terrifying. Especially when you are in a bad place mentally like I have been recently, because then the panic attacks get even more extreme. I’m lucky to be here to be honest as so many of my panic attacks make me feel really suicidal... I really owe a lot to those people I’ve managed to meet online who help keep me safe during my attacks and can calm me down sometimes, since if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here today.
      I’m glad to find someone who can relate with similar experiences to me. I’ll try and remember you, and if I have another really bad one I might message you for help.

    I know that I'm late to the party, but some helpful tip that I learned, that I call "5".
    First, you look or think around the room your in for 5 things.
    Second, you have to think or find 4 things you can touch.
    Third, you have to listen for three sounds.
    Fourth, think about 2 smells you really like.
    And Lastly, think about one emotion you feel.
    The reason that it works for me is because it's something that psychologists call "Grounding".
    I hope this helps anyone who experiences panic attacks!

    I think the worst part about a panic attack is that the symptoms stress you out even more:
    My heart is beating too fast, my chest hurts and I can barely breathe: I must be having a heart attack!
    Doesn’t matter how many times I have a panic attack I’ll always feel that way. Panic attacks also make me feel almost disconnected from the world, like I’m dying, literally.

  • @Ghostfrog
    @Ghostfrog 3 роки тому +543

    When I have a panic attack I feel like a volcano has erupted in my stomach, my throat feels like it's closing up, and my head starts spinning. The first time I had a panic attack I was in third grade. It came on, slowly and breathing just got harder, and harder until I felt like I was going to die.

Until my dad went looking for me and found me. I had one about every day (not always soaking the floor in urine😅🤮) but they are just absolutely terrible and it’s hard to talk about because, I don’t want people thinking I was weird and peed my pants everywhere, I don’t have them anymore but I still struggle with my mental health, some days I’ll be so tempted to stab everyone in the neck and the next I will be so floaty and light, but no matter what mood I’m in I still feel empty, I cry everyday and don’t know what’s wrong with me I just try to ignore it, don’t tell me not to I’m not gonna listen I know “your supposed to tell people” but I know for a fact if I told my parents or brother they’d get mad or laugh it off I want to talk to a therapist so I can get diagnosed with something so that people can’t just say “I’m being dramatic” I’ve always wanted to ask my parents why the heck they didn’t take me to a therapist after I literally wet my pants of terror after a noise

But then I went to go see a counsellor. He was really nice and we played a few games like uno and shaping clay. We made little clay bees and talked about it. Then when I noticed myself going outside, I didn’t feel anxious or scared. And when a bee flew by me, I thought it looked cute. Instead of running for my life!

      I have anxiety problems as well, the best thing you can do? Count out of order. Your brain can't panic and count out of order at the same time.
      Example, saying it out loud works best, "1, 8, 13, 2, 20, 12, 14, 6..etc"
      I hope that helps. Or even blurt out something crazy that has nothing to do with the situation. It makes my brain go, "...Wait, wut??"
      List random things that have no connection to one another. It can even be a game if you make it into one. Especially if you have a friend with you to help destress. They can go, "Favorite subject?" You can go, "I think I can lick my elbow! Wanna see?" The more stupid the better. Because if you're laughing you're not panicking.
      Hope it helps.

      My body inevitably heats up to a burning degree and starts making every muscle in me shaking harshly whenever I enter a serious or emergent situation. It's physically uncontrollable so it makes it impossible to just calm down. My body does that on its own.

    • @OnlyGemini3
      @OnlyGemini3 Рік тому +1

      Okay, the belief that panic attacks are a choice is rooted in some very old (and inaccurate) data. I get this same thing, and sometimes I can rationalize my anxiety by shutting down and going completely into my mind for about ten minutes and taking with that voice in my head, but this doesn't always work. You are completely right. If this is still a problem now, explain to your mom that anxiety and panic attacks are an INVOLUNTARY response to a situation deemed dangerous by your subconscious mind. Hope I could help, and if this isn't a problem anymore, I wish you luck in managing panic attacks!
