I went shopping with my sister and I didn't realize she was having a panic attack from having to interact with sales associates until I asked her to ask one a question and she couldn't do it. She had been going through it the whole time and I hadn't know. From then on I learnt and noticed her signals and things she did when she was having one.
Signals!!! I am so glad she has a sister like you that figured it out💜It is a God send and then we don’t have to try and explain (we’ll have the time we can’t explain). I have left the store before in a panic attack like that. Thx for being one of those people who are observant and help:)
Watching my mum have a panic attack was the worst night of my life. Really scary. Can't imagine how it must have been for her and she still came later to comfort me.
@Cuddle bunny you prob won’t see this- but if you do- I want to thank you for posting this:) u made me cry bc I don’t feel so bad now. I’m a mom and when my son was younger I didn’t know how to step away when I had panic attacks- and my son was so loving and caring but I still feel so bad and (guilty) that he had to watch me bc I know they were scary to watch- your mom is supposed to have it all together (until we realize moms don’t:). Even though my husband (who is his dad too) was there I I still feel bad. Sometimes I would be triggered from abuse from when I was a kid- and I looked like the person on the left… but sometimes I would completely zone out like the person on the right. So. Thanks for recognizing us moms. I’m sorry you had too watch that too. Much ❤️ love and best of luck to you:) Btw- he’s older now and has said it is ok that he knew I was having such a hard time, not to feel bad that it was very scary but not to feel bad that he knows I did my best. I just want you to know ….it means the world when your kid or another persons kid says just what you did. It makes us feel human and we give big hugs when we find out that you survived and still care.(by kid I mean someone’s kid- you could be an adult and still someone’s kid😉)
When i was a kid, I used to get the second type a lot. Feeling as if I was inside a body/container that was “not really me”, kind of like an impostor pretending.
Thank you! It’s exhausting not just dealing with an anxiety and panic disorder, but also defending myself because people don’t understand or believe that panic attacks can lie beneath a calm demeanor.
I really appreciate that you show what panic attacks can look like in different ways. Just because we look ok to someone does not mean we are ok. I try to remember this with other people too, bc it’s easy to forget. I really love your channel and that you put yourself out there to explain things like stigma and especially the medical field. Patients just assume I am ok and I am not hurting physically or mentally. I’m not a Dr. But I am in the medical field. Thank you again for posting what you do- you help us all feel a little bit more “ok” with ourselves I think☺️
Same here, I had one on my first day at my new job. I felt like none of my co-workers didn't help me out with the task, I felt stuck now I'm getting the hang of it I also think it's was my anxiety turned into a bloom-out panic attack I swear I ,haven't had that happen to me in a long time now I'm Getting better with being if I do have them I just hide in the bathroom for a few minutes just to calm down my nerves.
I would always get the second “type” and would just describe them as mini because I get them so frequently especially at school. But thanks for educating me!
I'm sadly on spectrum of severe panic attacks that make me sick and afraid. And they happen at randon any time of the day and night. There terrible . 😢 it makes me feel like I'm dying .
I've asked for help so many times from my Dr I just can't take it anymore. I feel like the only way he'll take people with mental health problems seriously is if I drop dead in his office
I have panic attacks everyday. I don’t think people can normally tell but perhaps they might think I’m behaving a little strangely. I’m taking meds and started therapy but it’s at the point where I can’t keep down a job and don’t want to be social / leave my house . It’s pretty much ruining my life.
I go through the same thing but unfortunately staying in the house and avoiding normal activities on cripples you even more, Dealing with anxiety is tuff and even myself get attacks mostly daily lol but I push through it, Even though the attacks are always in the back of my mind I’m in a lot more control than I was when it first started, I pray I push through and when I feel those attacks coming on I tackle it but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid, Get fit get healthy, Talk to your doctor, Don’t rely on medication but if it helps take it!!!! Start mindful meditations and get support people are hear to help, Identify your triggers and take action, but don’t become trapped in your own body out of fear, you know they only was to get over a fear is to face it! Goodluck ❤️
Hey Jake, I know you probably won’t read this but I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work! I failed biochem which really ruined my GPA, then attempted it again but withdrew since I couldn’t handle another poor grade. Currently a rising senior who sometimes feels hopeless, but your story always reminds me that everyone’s journey to becoming a doctor is different, and that’s okay! Thank you for reminding me that mistakes and numbers do not define my value :)
Hang in there! dont let one bad grade get you down. Take as much time as you need to guarantee a solid grade. I had to withdraw from orgo and it was the best decision cuz my friends who stayed in it failed. I got into multiple med schools...in my 4th year now
One time i had chest pains,shortness of pain and all these symptoms. and i thought i was having a heart attack even though i am 18 years old. I told my mom and went to hospital because i was really scared . The doctor in the hospital just told me i have gastritis by just looking at me . I knew it was not the chest pains of gastritis. 💀
I had ectopic pregnancy and before they figured it out they said I was having gallbladder issues lmao my tube was about to explode inside of me thank god I cussed them out but always get a second opinion I know I will
The first time when I got a panic attack was when I was in a parent-teacher-student (don't know if you call it that I'm a swede) meeting when I was eight, and I remember so vividly feeling like I was outside of my body. It was so bemusing that I got scared, yet I couldn't explain what I was feeling so I tried to keep it down. After the meeting I was still very shocked and afraid, I didn't know what to do with myself. Even today when I get these out-of-reality feelings I don't know what to do.
My worst case was when I got back from the clinic from worst asthma attack treatment. They had to put me on high dose of nebulizer which cause my heart rate spike.
Yeah I've had some like the former and some like the latter. I remember feeling the symptoms but not outwardly showing them and when I tried to work I couldn't even understand or hear the person's order. I then took my headset of anf looked at my shift leader who quickly realized that I was freaking out. They put me in the back. Great day. The feeling went away hours later. It can always be worse and Jesus always has my back anyway. Great video and the song switch was great too.
I’m so sorry this is happening to you the feeling is always lasting hours for me as well but online it says 20-30 minutes lol they need to update that bc it’s an all day thing for me with my recent ones I’ve had
It is just like that: you feel that you don't really exist, you feel that you are trapped in some unreal world and you are not able to ever get out of it, you have feeling that you will wake up in some other dimension or just in some true world after all this years and maybe lose all your relatives and people you love just because they won't exist anymore in that other world after you wake up. Only people with panic/derealisation disorder will understand. I also have to mention that I didn't want to say that some other problems people are facing with aren't problems. Not at all. As the video says, there are many types of panic attacks and every single problem about it is hard on its way. I hope that every single man and woman on this planet manage to fight their mental illness, whatever it is. I wish you all luck my friends.... And also: Thank you doctor for posting this very useful and interessting video. You as a doctor really help people face their mental problems and you don't know how much you make their life happier and better. And as I always heard from others: „Not just the body health is important, do not forget your head. If you are sick in the head then you are lost in this world”.
Same:( I’m sorry that you have to go through that. I commented earlier about some apps that help me. Maybe they would help you. Idk. Sayana is my favorite. There’s also Rootd and stoic. They help u breath. I hope you can find something to help you:)
Mate this is a brilliant video there's nothing online about having the fear panic loosing control without the racing heart etc everyone thinks a panic attack is breathing fast heart racing when it can be so silent on the outside..... you should do a in depth video on this 🙏
Me and my brother were in a worrying situation and I get anxiety attacks (i have been diagnosed with anxiety). That night was my worst one and I was crying, sweating, shaking and feeling sick. Thank you for showing that anxiety is different in each person. I wasn't finding breathing hard but it was just as scary, really shows it can look different for everyone.
I had a really bad one my Junior year. I started to get sick and had to go to the bathroom almost left before my presentation but was like “my partners going to be mad if I leave” so I went back told my partner to have us go next so I can get it over with and I did it 😭 the after affect was so bad I was still dizzy, nauseous, bowl problems omg I was dying 🥲
I have 4 different types of anxiety and for me, it's a combination ad both, I get sweaty, my fingers get super tingly and I feel like I'm not in the real world.
I'm not sure if this is panic attack, but i suddenly felt my heart aching, my whole body felt heavy and couldn't move. That was after my mom told me i'm useless
I suffer from panic attacks, usually because of overstimulation. Usually it's the kind where I cry and shake uncontrollably, can't breathe well and start feeling like I just had a heart attack, but I've had one panic attack like that too. It was because of a nightmare where I felt like my body was getting crushed. Fucked with my head for a few months and kept having that nightmare following a panic attack a few times. It was weird.
I rarely ever struggle with panic attacks, but recently I’ve become rather detached from society, apparently it barely looks like my mind is present in the room… I’m so sorry to people who deal with this on a regular basis…
I remember a few of my panic attacks, im pretty sure ive only had like 3 or 4 but still, the first panic attack ive had was due to being overwhelmed, the police were at the door, let me remind you that i have phonophobia, there were sirens , yelling and alot of commotion, so i ran the the room i shared with my older cousin and sat on the bed with my knees to my chest, i was shaking horribly and i had shortness of breath, my vision was practically running across the room. The other times were because of the loud thunder outside, the second time i was on the couch at night and there was loud thunder, it was pretty obvious there was something wrong with me but no one in the house even looked up to help me :/.
I've suffered from panic disorder since I was 11. NOBODY knows unless I tell them I'm having a panic attack. Somewhere in my 20's I began just letting them go while I continued with whatever I was doing. Probably once a year, one catches me by surprise and if I'm around people, I just ask for 10min.
"Fear of losing control of your mind' ... I.. I can't even describe how much I relate to this! I thought, I didn't know that that can also be part of the panic attack!! It explains so much! Edit: I also can't describe how it feels..
When you have PTSD …. I’ve had most of those panic attack symptoms. Hyperventilating, uncontrollable crying, freaking out, dissociation starting at level 1 out of of 10, ( it’s subtle and not noticeable at first), and unable to function for up to 30 minutes. Thanks why I need a and have a service dog! She makes it easier to do my day without fear of going thru that alone grocery store, other public places, home, & traveling. She’s got me safe and secure. ❤ PTSD episodes are over faster and can be less severe with her alerting me ahead of time and treating the episodes with Deep Pressure Therapy. ( DPT ) Rescue medication help too, but I have to be careful if I have to drive because of a drowsy side effect. I’ve done EMDR For trauma and it’s helped. I still need to re continue after stopping for a year. I’m not done. It’s definitely hard and not enjoyable doing EMDR, but the results are very worth it.
This mental disorder is really kind of scary , how would the people who have this kind of struggles manage it Its unimaginable 😢. May god heal all the people who are struggling mentally and physically ameen ❤.
Some of mine: - out of breath - hysterical crying - spinning out - VERY short Others: - Shaking violently - silent - can’t write or talk much - literally convulsing on the floor - literal gibberish coming out of my mouth - can be an hour long - easily hidden What a fun world we live in
Once i've got a panic Attack on the bus home from school. I could'nt breathe and my heart was racing. I starred out of the window and tried to breathe. My friend noticed it and asked me if i was alright. After that i felt comfortable again and could breathe again. I lover her for that ! 😊
I go through the same thing but unfortunately staying in the house and avoiding normal activities on cripples you even more, Dealing with anxiety is tuff and even myself get attacks mostly daily lol but I push through it, Even though the attacks are always in the back of my mind I’m in a lot more control than I was when it first started, I pray I push through and when I feel those attacks coming on I tackle it but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid, Get fit get healthy, Talk to your doctor, Don’t rely on medication but if it helps take it!!!! Start mindful meditations and get support people are hear to help, Identify your triggers and take action, but don’t become trapped in your own body out of fear, you know they only was to get over a fear is to face it! Goodluck ❤️
I had one at work (had a patient do the same thing that the patient who assaulted me did, but he wasn’t as strong so i wasn’t hurt this time), I was able to flag a colleague to deal with the patient while I had to deal with my panic attack alone. Afterwards she had to ask what had happened to me as she’d never seen a panic attack before. So just so you know not every healthcare professional knows what a panic attack looks like either
I just remember the first time I had a panic and I thought I was sick because I was shaking, my was pounding like crazy and I felt like I was drawing 😟, because I couldn't breathe! I was super scared 😨😨😨 I didn't know what to do! Neither my parents 😨 It took me one hour to calm a little bit and of course I couldn't sleep 😟😟😟 We have to raise awareness on this matter in order for people to learn how to cope with panic attacks ! P.S. Love your videos keep going!
Not to mention with panic attacks: Numbness in your limbs and chest. Your blood tries to coagulate in the most vital spots for fight or flight, so it will cause some areas to go numb.
I have both types. The second type is the scariest one for me to go through. When I have one like the first type I just accept that I'm going to die and that seems to help the attack pass.
I was thinking that i was having a panic attack, so i saw this, yea. I had shortness of breath and all the symptoms like feeling detached from my body and reality and also felt like i was losing control of my mind
How convenient, the thing I've been avoiding (therapists/people involved with mental health) appearing on my recommended page when I'm barely staying alive 😁
I have learned that a lot of kids in my grade have panic attacks frequently. Although parents doubt us we can have a massive panic attack in the middle of a test and act normal. Hiding emotions is one of the things I’m best at. Sorry for everyone who has lots of panic attacks. They suck
I suffer from anxiety, depression, s3lf h@rm, su!c!d@l ideation, and am currently hospitalized for my e@ting d!sorder. I have been struggling with these plus Autism and ADHD for almost my entire life. I have just spent the past 2 years battling every aspect of my mental illness. I was in Hospitals and residentials and after getting everything down exept my ED, I'm working on that now. Know that you are NOT alone! This is a life long journey but you can take control back in your life and make things manageable! And you do not have to do this alone! I am a proud su!c!de surviver and could have missed so much but now I am actually living life and looking forward for what's to come! I'm having a minor setback in a life of joy and wonder! Never be afraid to ask for help! It does get better and you are not alone!
Another type of panic attack that rare non of you heard of is the feeling of everything around you become giant and you felt they gonna crush you...that I feel. A LOT
İt happened to me while i was sleeping. İt was terrible. First, i felt a detatchment from reality and a tunnel vision i ignoref it but it got worse. My brain kept on thinking about it which made it worse. İ couldnt move my heart was pounding real fast i started sweating like crazy and i literally went insane it was too overwhelming. If it happens to you take deep breaths and try to ignore your negative thoughts. (you may feel like you’re about to die or feel like your about to have a heart attack also it may traumatize you for a while) stay safe
I love this. They started at 11 and I’m 36. They never stopped, I just cope better. And that second one? That’s me at work. My students won’t know I’m having one. And they should t, because they should feel I’m the stable and constant in the room. I’ve learned to mask very, very well. And over time the physical symptoms, even when not at work, have become much less noticeable. It doesn’t make them any less brutal, but it does give me confidence that I can handle it. And it also helps to be able to remind myself that I’ve had probably thousands and maybe 50 of those were obvious in public. When it got to the point where I wouldn’t leave the house I accepted the CBT was my best ally. Everyone is different.
I actually had a massive anxiety panic attack a few days ago I get them often & it's so scary I always say to my elf it's okay but deep down I think "okay this is it this is my time to go now" & the shaking/trembling afterwards is also so awful I can't stand raise my arms ect 😭
I have a schizophrenic client who calls me on the phone when she has panic attack, and until now I was always able to talk her down. I'm a mental health professional, and it's really scary for me to listen. Imagine how much more scary it is for her.
I woke up in the middle of the night with these symptoms my heart was calm tho but it hurt i was feeling nauses was sweating and couldnt catch a breath and in the left side of my chest i was feeling a sharp stabing pain was that a panic attack?
I feel detached from reality and my body all the time, I never knew what it was so I pushed it to the side. Finding out it was probably panic attacks is a little alarming, I feel that way at least once a day. 😬
I was trying to do a stunt as a cheerleader and I was a flyer, (BIG part of story.) We we’re doing a tuck (holding you up really high but not above the head.) But instead of standing up I just stood there squatting, they put me down. But I couldn’t feel my body at all! That normally happens when I pass out, I got scared and started crying in front of the whole cheer squad 😅 I now realise that it was a panic attack.
I went shopping with my sister and I didn't realize she was having a panic attack from having to interact with sales associates until I asked her to ask one a question and she couldn't do it.

keep going y’all
The first time when I got a panic attack was when I was in a parent-teacher-student (don't know if you call it that I'm a swede) meeting when I was eight, and I remember so vividly feeling like I was outside of my body.

Didn't realize that I was having 2-3 panic attack a day till now
Thanks for sharing and bring awareness ❤️ my panic attacks don't look like panic attacks
What a beautiful demonstration! 🤩👍 Informative.
I’m a nurse and yes 💯💯💯truth Thank you
I've had both, and both are scary
i appreciate you. Dr Goodman. these Lil shorts always have such a big message and its nice to see someone talk about the hard things.
Yeah I've had some like the former and some like the latter. I remember feeling the symptoms but not outwardly showing them and when I tried to work I couldn't even understand or hear the person's order.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you the feeling is always lasting hours for me as well but online it says 20-30 minutes lol they need to update that bc it’s an all day thing for me with my recent ones I’ve had
During after and before I can hardly talk breathe or think it’s so scary
I’m always having the “fear of losing my mind” stuff like I wanna feel alive and not fear all the time
It is just like that: you feel that you don't really exist, you feel that you are trapped in some unreal world and you are not able to ever get out of it, you have feeling that you will wake up in some other dimension or just in some true world after all this years and maybe lose all your relatives and people you love just because they won't exist anymore in that other world after you wake up.
Only people with panic/derealisation disorder will understand.
I also have to mention that I didn't want to say that some other problems people are facing with aren't problems. Not at all.

Me and my brother were in a worrying situation and I get anxiety attacks (i have been diagnosed with anxiety). That night was my worst one and I was crying, sweating, shaking and feeling sick. Thank you for showing that anxiety is different in each person. I wasn't finding breathing hard but it was just as scary, really shows it can look different for everyone.
Why is this so true there no where near the same as the last one!
I had a really bad one my Junior year. I started to get sick and had to go to the bathroom almost left before my presentation but was like “my partners going to be mad if I leave” so I went back told my partner to have us go next so I can get it over with and I did it 😭 the after affect was so bad I was still dizzy, nauseous, bowl problems omg I was dying 🥲
........ I’m here for it. Keep posting!!
I have 4 different types of anxiety and for me, it's a combination ad both, I get sweaty, my fingers get super tingly and I feel like I'm not in the real world.
I'm not sure if this is panic attack, but i suddenly felt my heart aching, my whole body felt heavy and couldn't move. That was after my mom told me i'm useless
Racing heart, shortness of breath…
If yk yk
Yep…apparently one of my doctors told me I might’ve been experiencing one because of a particular I was having in my abdomen.
Damn. They never stopped.
I suffer from panic attacks, usually because of overstimulation. Usually it's the kind where I cry and shake uncontrollably, can't breathe well and start feeling like I just had a heart attack, but I've had one panic attack like that too. It was because of a nightmare where I felt like my body was getting crushed. Fucked with my head for a few months and kept having that nightmare following a panic attack a few times. It was weird.
Thanks for confirming. I had a panic attack 2 days in a row while studying for exams next week.
I rarely ever struggle with panic attacks, but recently I’ve become rather detached from society, apparently it barely looks like my mind is present in the room… I’m so sorry to people who deal with this on a regular basis…
I remember a few of my panic attacks, im pretty sure ive only had like 3 or 4 but still, the first panic attack ive had was due to being overwhelmed, the police were at the door, let me remind you that i have phonophobia, there were sirens , yelling and alot of commotion, so i ran the the room i shared with my older cousin and sat on the bed with my knees to my chest, i was shaking horribly and i had shortness of breath, my vision was practically running across the room. The other times were because of the loud thunder outside, the second time i was on the couch at night and there was loud thunder, it was pretty obvious there was something wrong with me but no one in the house even looked up to help me :/.
I've suffered from panic disorder since I was 11.
NOBODY knows unless I tell them I'm having a panic attack. Somewhere in my 20's I began just letting them go while I continued with whatever I was doing.
Probably once a year, one catches me by surprise and if I'm around people, I just ask for 10min.
"Fear of losing control of your mind'
...
I.. I can't even describe how much I relate to this! I thought, I didn't know that that can also be part of the panic attack!! It explains so much!
Edit: I also can't describe how it feels..
When you have PTSD …. I’ve had most of those panic attack symptoms. Hyperventilating, uncontrollable crying, freaking out, dissociation starting at level 1 out of of 10, ( it’s subtle and not noticeable at first), and unable to function for up to 30 minutes.
Thanks why I need a and have a service dog! She makes it easier to do my day without fear of going thru that alone grocery store, other public places, home, & traveling. She’s got me safe and secure. ❤
PTSD episodes are over faster and can be less severe with her alerting me ahead of time and treating the episodes with Deep Pressure Therapy. ( DPT ) Rescue medication help too, but I have to be careful if I have to drive because of a drowsy side effect.
I’ve done EMDR For trauma and it’s helped. I still need to re continue after stopping for a year. I’m not done. It’s definitely hard and not enjoyable doing EMDR, but the results are very worth it.
iva had both countless times, the first time i thought i was having a heart attack 💀
I've never experienced a panic attack in my life but I hope you guys stay ok
This sounds horrible
This mental disorder is really kind of scary , how would the people who have this kind of struggles manage it
Its unimaginable 😢. May god heal all the people who are struggling mentally and physically ameen ❤.
Some of mine:
- out of breath
- hysterical crying
- spinning out
- VERY short
Others:
- Shaking violently
- silent
- can’t write or talk much
- literally convulsing on the floor
- literal gibberish coming out of my mouth
- can be an hour long
- easily hidden
What a fun world we live in
100% accurate I feel both sides it’s a horrible feeling!
Thank you
For me, I get chest pain, racing heart, shakiness, worry, and it feels like I’m gonna die at any moment. It feels like nothing is real in the moment..
I was raped as a child so I have all of these symptoms. For me though the worst ones are the first version that you showed
The first is a panic attack and the second is an anxiety attack. Similar but both different.
Once i've got a panic Attack on the bus home from school. I could'nt breathe and my heart was racing. I starred out of the window and tried to breathe. My friend noticed it and asked me if i was alright. After that i felt comfortable again and could breathe again. I lover her for that ! 😊
I go through the same thing but unfortunately staying in the house and avoiding normal activities on cripples you even more, Dealing with anxiety is tuff and even myself get attacks mostly daily lol but I push through it, Even though the attacks are always in the back of my mind I’m in a lot more control than I was when it first started, I pray I push through and when I feel those attacks coming on I tackle it but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid, Get fit get healthy, Talk to your doctor, Don’t rely on medication but if it helps take it!!!! Start mindful meditations and get support people are hear to help, Identify your triggers and take action, but don’t become trapped in your own body out of fear, you know they only was to get over a fear is to face it! Goodluck ❤️
I had one at work (had a patient do the same thing that the patient who assaulted me did, but he wasn’t as strong so i wasn’t hurt this time), I was able to flag a colleague to deal with the patient while I had to deal with my panic attack alone. Afterwards she had to ask what had happened to me as she’d never seen a panic attack before. So just so you know not every healthcare professional knows what a panic attack looks like either
I get the second type here a lot- especially at school due to stress
The second one is me on a daily, lol.
I just remember the first time I had a panic and I thought I was sick because I was shaking, my was pounding like crazy and I felt like I was drawing 😟, because I couldn't breathe! I was super scared 😨😨😨 I didn't know what to do! Neither my parents 😨 It took me one hour to calm a little bit and of course I couldn't sleep 😟😟😟 We have to raise awareness on this matter in order for people to learn how to cope with panic attacks !
P.S. Love your videos keep going!
Not to mention with panic attacks: Numbness in your limbs and chest. Your blood tries to coagulate in the most vital spots for fight or flight, so it will cause some areas to go numb.
I have both types. The second type is the scariest one for me to go through. When I have one like the first type I just accept that I'm going to die and that seems to help the attack pass.
Great seeing the different types of panic x Patty
Thank you so much for posting this 🙏🏻
I was thinking that i was having a panic attack, so i saw this, yea. I had shortness of breath and all the symptoms like feeling detached from my body and reality and also felt like i was losing control of my mind
Sending Love I know how it feels xx
As someone who had panic attacks, both are accurate, I freaked out the first time
How convenient, the thing I've been avoiding (therapists/people involved with mental health) appearing on my recommended page when I'm barely staying alive 😁
I rarely have the more physical panic attacks like I used to now I just feel detached
Same, it usually happens when there's a lot of visual input and I become more sensitive to audio
I have learned that a lot of kids in my grade have panic attacks frequently. Although parents doubt us we can have a massive panic attack in the middle of a test and act normal. Hiding emotions is one of the things I’m best at. Sorry for everyone who has lots of panic attacks. They suck
omg...i feel so bad like ur just in 8th grade....ughhh...anyway god bless u nd wish u the besttt...
I find myself more like the first one when having a panic attack and the second one is closer to having an anxiety attack for me
I suffer from anxiety, depression, s3lf h@rm, su!c!d@l ideation, and am currently hospitalized for my e@ting
d!sorder. I have been struggling with these plus Autism and ADHD for almost my entire life. I have just spent the past 2 years battling every aspect of my mental illness. I was in Hospitals and residentials and after getting everything down exept my ED, I'm working on that now. Know that you are NOT alone! This is a life long journey but you can take control back in your life and make things manageable! And you do not have to do this alone! I am a proud su!c!de surviver and could have missed so much but now I am actually living life and looking forward for what's to come! I'm having a minor setback in a life of joy and wonder! Never be afraid to ask for help! It does get better and you are not alone!
This is making me realize that I have panic attacks like a lot
Another type of panic attack that rare non of you heard of is the feeling of everything around you become giant and you felt they gonna crush you...that I feel. A LOT
For me, it's the conditions or clues of the second, that lead to the first.
add dizziness, feeling faint, sick, headaches, body ache, and the list goes on
One hundred percent True 😢
İt happened to me while i was sleeping. İt was terrible. First, i felt a detatchment from reality and a tunnel vision i ignoref it but it got worse. My brain kept on thinking about it which made it worse. İ couldnt move my heart was pounding real fast i started sweating like crazy and i literally went insane it was too overwhelming. If it happens to you take deep breaths and try to ignore your negative thoughts. (you may feel like you’re about to die or feel like your about to have a heart attack also it may traumatize you for a while) stay safe
I love this. They started at 11 and I’m 36. They never stopped, I just cope better. And that second one? That’s me at work. My students won’t know I’m having one. And they should t, because they should feel I’m the stable and constant in the room. I’ve learned to mask very, very well. And over time the physical symptoms, even when not at work, have become much less noticeable. It doesn’t make them any less brutal, but it does give me confidence that I can handle it. And it also helps to be able to remind myself that I’ve had probably thousands and maybe 50 of those were obvious in public. When it got to the point where I wouldn’t leave the house I accepted the CBT was my best ally. Everyone is different.
I actually had a massive anxiety panic attack a few days ago I get them often & it's so scary I always say to my elf it's okay but deep down I think "okay this is it this is my time to go now" & the shaking/trembling afterwards is also so awful I can't stand raise my arms ect 😭
Great education!!!
I have a schizophrenic client who calls me on the phone when she has panic attack, and until now I was always able to talk her down. I'm a mental health professional, and it's really scary for me to listen. Imagine how much more scary it is for her.
I've experienced the first one alot...
But nowadays... been more horrific with the second variant.
p.s. I'm a med doctor too.
I only get long panic attacks when I’m overwhelmed ☹️
Thank you for this ❤❤❤
I woke up in the middle of the night with these symptoms my heart was calm tho but it hurt i was feeling nauses was sweating and couldnt catch a breath and in the left side of my chest i was feeling a sharp stabing pain was that a panic attack?
I'm 12 but I still get anxiety and panic attacks not too Afton but it's kinda common for me. I'm just happy I've learned how to calm myself down
Me having a panic attack: breathing hard PANICING and trying to be as quiet as possible
Me Too! Man I have panic attacks and stuff😢
I feel detached from reality and my body all the time, I never knew what it was so I pushed it to the side. Finding out it was probably panic attacks is a little alarming, I feel that way at least once a day. 😬
Yes each panic attack is very different and hard to detect
I was trying to do a stunt as a cheerleader and I was a flyer, (BIG part of story.) We we’re doing a tuck (holding you up really high but not above the head.) But instead of standing up I just stood there squatting, they put me down. But I couldn’t feel my body at all! That normally happens when I pass out, I got scared and started crying in front of the whole cheer squad 😅
I now realise that it was a panic attack.
