      You should check out Dr.Claire Weekes, she talks about that, about bringing “the old skeleton out of the closet and realizing it doesn’t quite scare you as much anymore”. Anxiety is a natural human emotion and there’s no way to completely rid yourself or your life of it. If anything I try to be grateful In those moments like “ah there you are old friend it’s been awhile!”

    You telling us that our bodies cannot stay in this panicked state is SO helpful. When panic happens it's very hard to convince ourselves what it truly is, and that it will indeed end. It feels impossible to believe sometimes. But I thank you for including this in your talk-down. We definitely need to be reassured that these feelings WILL pass and we cannot stay in this state forever.

    But the way you explained that it isn’t something wrong or that I should be ashamed of made me cry. It felt like a loving family member reassuring you. Many of mine don’t understand them, so thank you for making this.
    It’s the only thing that’s helped in a long time. If I could I would just, give you a hug right now. Thank you.

      @@yodelissosa7791 same. For some people, if you are having the kind of panic attack where you feel like you can’t breath or are having trouble, breathing exercises can make it worse because you are focusing on the thing that is causing you panic. You need to try to NOT over think the breathing haha. My therapist had me instead of breath work use other senses in that moment: get a hot bath, drink of water, nice smell, etc, and positive self talk. I think it depends on the person, but the deep breathing not helping during a panic is not uncommon! When you get to feeling better breath work can be great.

I only use it maybe every other month or when flying since that's a big fear of mine. Having it on hand at home and knowing it's there if I need it, helps overall tremendously! I can't be on and don't want to be on a daily med like an SSRI so Ativan or Klonopin are fantastic. Just don't abuse them. They are addictive. So just as needed.

    I can’t keep it together at night. Once I am alone with my thoughts I am overwhelmed by fear. My heart begins to pound in my chest and my body becomes frozen, not cold but frozen. I cannot sleep. If I could sleep I would have an escape from the fear but it feels impossible to rest. My thought are focused on my daughter. What would happen to her if I died. Who would care for her. There is no one. The constant sounds of sirens as they head in the direction of the ER with another helpless Covid patient induce my fears. As I type this, the sounds of sirens scream from the street below. They are so loud that shutting the windows do not help. I don’t know how to block it. Please forgive my long rambling, but the writing seems to calm me. Please stay safe and thank you for your video. It helped stop my crying. 🌸

      Little trick I've found works for me if I'm feeling a lightness in my body as though a bit faint or dizzy, if you sit or stand at a table and put both hands on the table top and push down on it, it instantly grounds you and you don't feel as emotionally or physically 'flighty'. Give it a go next time. Just keep that pressure down on your hands whilst breathing slow and deep.

    I have to extend my gratitude to everyone in the comments as well. I used to think I was ridiculous for feeling like I was dying- I have to stop myself from calling EMS, I try to panic call my family and loved ones to tell them I love them. I dont want to die and I get so desperate not to- even though that's not what's happening. Now I see that I'm not alone and it's quite a common symptom of panic attacks. It's true that the entire time I'm telling myself that I'm fine and I know rationally I'm fine- but sometimes it just takes some extra help.

I told her I thought I was having a panic attack and she asked if that's what it was and I said I didn't know because my step dad was burning weeds out back and there was so much smoke in the house it was triggering me. Then the fire department always shows up even when I ask for medical it makes no sense. One time I asked to go to the hospital and they had to call for an ambulance.

    I've been suffering from pretty bad anxiety attacks for most of my adult life, but especially for the last year, or so. This is my go-to when I feel one coming on. It helps a lot, but it's usually when I look at the comments that I feel the panic greatly subside and I start bawling. It helps a lot to know I'm not alone in experiencing this kind of thing. The comments of a stranger on the internet might not mean a lot to everybody, but to my surprise, they mean quite a lot to me. If it's anything to you, at all, know that you are going to be okay again, and that I'm really, genuinely rooting for you.

    What an incredible gift you've given all of us. I've had C-PTSD and bad anxiety since I was a kid. I'm 30 now, and it still gets me just like it did in the past, sometimes worse.
    Most people don't understand the depths of my anxiety, and even if they do, I tend to isolate myself when I'm anxious as I don't know how to express it to or in front of others.
    This is like the mother I wish I had. The comfort of this reassurance is like a warm hug. The way she acknowledges these feelings exist but that they aren't facts is so helpful. This is the first time I've found this but I've saved it for quick reference. Thank you for this❤

    BELOW IS WHAT REALLY HELPS ME WHEN IM GOING THROUGH IT: This may not be the case with everyone. But notice a pattern or an environment when you don’t get panic attacks, for instance me, I don’t ever get panic attacks when I’m at work. Work is a place I feel very productive at doing what I mainly enjoy and help others so maybe that’s why even though I have to face a lot of my fears at work it feels like I’m overcoming things one at a time when i push myself out of my comfort zone. So when I am having a panic attack usually at random when I’m at home, ready to go to bed or right after I eat dinner, I remind myself “what’s happening right now is just your brains defense mechanism, it’s all a false sense of intense fear, it’s not reality, thoughts are not reality, your mind is tricking you. Don’t get tricked. It can’t last longer than this period of time anyway so worst case I can always ride it out. I am strong. Look at the way I move my body (i usually lightly exercise or stretch. I put on a nature sound music. And breath while focusing on one object at a time and analyzing the object simply.) I leave all control to this higher being (whether you believe in God or not), I don’t need to have control all the time. Whatever happens is exactly what should be happening right now. I believe in that. (And then I also think about how when im at work even if im dehydrated, hungry, just eaten etc. I don’t feel this panic attack so it must really just be the trick of my mind, not cuz I have a brain tumor or something very extreme like that my mind likes to make me believe I have. I’m also a hypochondriac so ANY physical discomfort is immediately the worst illness in the world. Knowing I’m not alone helps my anxiety. If I see others that also went to ER multiple times each time thinking the worst and was sent home with all test results negative and a 1500 dollar bill (lol), well then my brain is starting to be convinced that I really am just fine. Share your experiences too guys this is a safe space. I love you all so much. Panic attacks helped me gain a better understanding and appreciation for the things i have in my life. At one point every moment I could have without feeling like crap was a moment I would do something I really liked. It made me take on playing flute again, it made me practice painting. Before panic attacks I was very unmotivated and procrastinated everything from generalized anxiety. So keeping this in mind really helped me reduce the intensity of my panic attacks that they are manageable with the above mentioned techniques. Summary: fake it till you make it. Tell your brain using your logic what to think bcuz what it wants to think is constructed by whoever raised you and they did not do it right but it’s ok! Bcuz I can be ok on my own, I can rewire my brain to feel better and make others feel better. “I’m peaceful, relaxed, calm, at ease.”

    I woke up having a panic attack, which has never happened to me before. This video was the only thing that calmed me down, I had it on a loop for about an hour. I can’t thank you enough, and I wish I could donate more. You’re making a real difference to people who need help with these horrible, terrifying feelings. We will be okay. This will pass. Thank you so much x

    I (like many others) have been going through extreme anxiety over the past few months. The panic attacks were unbearable and medication made them 10x worse. Listening to your video has helped me through every single one. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! You should make a video to help people with anxiety/racing mind get to sleep.

    I’ve been having panic attacks for almost 4 years. I have looked for a video but no video has ever helped me. This is the first video! I’m crying happy tears because it’s a big step. Thank you so so so much ❤️
    For anyone having anxiety or a panic attack, remember that you are ok, you are not alone, it’s NOT dangerous and we are all going trough the exact same thing ❤️

    I had a small panic attack many years ago but then all of a sudden I out of nowhere at night and it was horrible. Once I found out about this video I emidetly felt better within the first few minutes of listening, I'm glad I found this video.

    Currently having a horrible panic attack. It’s been almost 30 mins so far. I pray that it ends soon. This is my go to video, this panic attack is so bad that I had to rewind it. I thank you soooooo much for this. Anxiety really sucks

      You'll make it through this. You are not alone. I've had one this morning already, and feels like I'm on the verge of another one. I had a pain and started focusing on it and it kind of spiraled from there. We can make it through these. Hope you are better today.

    I didn't eat anything today, then I had three Shandy's (lager and lemonade) after work and it didn't do me any favours. I've felt myself get more and more panicked and I've taken myself to bed to listen to this. It's so strange how a funny/strange sensation in your body can trigger your mind into making you feel more physical symptoms of feeling unwell and anxious. I should have known I'd feel like this, I've been a sufferer for years of anxiety and over worrying.
    Your videos have really helped me help myself through it. Thank you.

    I had my first panic attack awhile ago but it was a small one, but today I had a huge one on the bus I was shaking and my friends were trying to comfort me cause I was struggling to breathe and talk. When they got off the bus they FaceTimed me right away to stay with me. My panic attack started by someone throwing up near me and I have Emtophobia (fear of throw up) and I started shaking and struggling to breathe so I got my friends help and told them I was having a panic attack and they stayed with me the whole time. I love my friends ❤️

    Idk if this is my place to say. But with my anxiety and panic I tend to wanna escape or run during it. What I’ve learned was to lay down, elevate your legs and then do deep breathing. I’ve had this disorder for years and it’s the only thing that has helped. The calming reassurance you’ve given in your video has helped tremendously. 🖤🖤🖤

    • @YvonE5

      I do the same thing Faith. I lay down & elevate my feet on my wedge pillow & do deep breathing (longer exhales) these 3 things help. The most recent panic attack during the night, the back of my throat was dry, so after drinking a cup of warm/hot tea, I then sip on water every now and then for the dry throat, & my legs were trembling and heart rate up over 100, but after listening to this talk down relaxation video, the trembling calmed down and then eventually stopped after a few minutes & my heart rate went down below 100 & eventually between 85-65 😉. I hope we all have brief panic attacks, where we all manage to calm our heart rates down and our minds at ease, whenever a panic attack pops up.

    I am 22 years old and never had a panic attack before. I worked back to back 12 hour shifts with minimal sleep and I must’ve been so exhausted I started to panic after work. This video really helped. Thank you.

    This video has been such a great help to me. I've developed almost daily panic attacks with no clear cause and this can help me to take it in stride until it passes.
