What to do if You Have a Panic Attack (Mental Health Guru)

@Juxtapose713 Thank you. Yes, thats what I was expecting. Seems to be the case for many people. Let me start by saying that many (most) existing antidepressant drugs are horrible, and mainly ineffective. It is vital to find an understanding doctor, who will listen to your concerns, and treat accordingly. I have been working on many inprovement drugs. Feel free to message me if ever you need to. There are some medications (not usually used for depression that DO help, many OTC). Best Wishes.

@jhnmndrl i dont mind, since panic attacks havent shown up in like five years…i honestly think it manifested into depression, its become something i seriously cant overcome. even though i dont experience panic attacks i still suffer from social anxiety….i hope that was helpful

@Juxtapose713 Care to elaborate..? What has it now become, if you don't mind my asking? I suffer from moderate general anxiety, and severe panic attack disorder. I am a psychotropic chemist, and perhaps my main goal in my studies, is developing compounds to alleviate and correct anxiety disorders. There are huge misconceptions still, even in our modern medical world.

it sucks..i grew up having panic attacks and it wasnt acknowledged so i just had to bear it, thankfully it hasnt showed up in the past years but i think it manifested into something worse..

he says it like its so easy……

fail

there are so many weird people on earth, i love this channel

no offence but when one panics, they mostly freak out to the point that they dont think nor remember to do slow breathing. If somone sees them they can remind them to breathe but if they are alone it can be hard for them. therapy is really the best thing to help. although this video does help get the point that many folks suffer from the disorder

you cant stop a pani attack with a 3 minute video, you need to see a therapist.

It's also an internal issue(an internal imbalance). We should treat the root cause, not just symptoms.

I notice that when one of my super anxious episodes ends my lungs take in deep breaths like I had been suffocating or something.

My Friend sam suffers from them This video is a great help Thank you <3

Mind power works on everything

@djsandra1 same here with school…. its the attack of the enemy..

holyshit…. i knew coke caused it!!!(takes a sip from his coke while he said that) lol but this is my last one, going to water now…. this dude is helping me out alot and thank you man if this is your page.. if i seen you in person id probably hand you a 50 lol

a completly understand you. God bless you

Let there be no mistake, this fellow KNOWS anxiety very very well! There is much to be learned from him…………

lol i didn't have no friends when i was 16, i just stayed at home all day on the computer, everyday. I like you though, you sound smart, and just how you talk makes me feel like you have alot of wisdom or something, i can't quite put my finger on it.

I have lots of anxiety too. I am afraid of seeing people from school outside of school (like at the mall). I also get panic attacks at the night and also at New Year's Eve as well. I'm not doing so well in school because of my anxiety, especially because I can't remember stuff well.

very interesting.

Thanks for this, it really helps a lot. I suffer from panic attacks, only started recently, but I want to stop them before they get severe.

ANYBODY OUT THERE WITH PANIC OR ANXIETY PROBLEMS: HAVE FAITH. It CAN be fixed. You CAN overcome it. You DONT need medication. You're NOT alone. You're NOT weird. You're NOT going to die. Think positive, things can only get better! It's all in your head.

new years eve still make me anxious, because I am a highly sensitive person and feel mass energy..I figure you are too and you felt also the collective"wating for midnight". It's a energetic tension that you can pick up. Knowing it is this to me makes it easier. It;s good to know you cured yourself from it. Greetings from your northern neighbour with anxiety.

Going to a hospital thinking your having a heart attack is the worstttttt

i know how you feel,thank you .i see myself in you

i get panic attacks severely in the night too

I've had attacks while taking exams too.

For me the worst time for my panic/anxiety attacks is when I'm forced to drive long distances in a car.

Interesting comment about the Coca Cola. My first Panic Attack was in a movie theatre too – drinking Coca Cola. Indeed I learn't not to have this drink, because it would soon drop my blood sugar (after rising fast).

Hi. I would say because night-time is a time for relaxation and calm. Then we think – what if we have a panic attack now? It's dark, all my 'help' is in bed – what if I collapse and no one will find me? BAM – Panic Attack starts……

MrP Re "I had a panic attack thinking it was cancer or something when it was something not even close to that. "..
But this type of paranoia is a sure sign of a chronic high level of stress.. Please note my response to hardstyle..it may assist you too. Maybe you could also try to avoid,for a while at least,media exposure (TV and magazines etc) that includes violence,horror,and generaly bad and depressing news..and replace them with pleasant music,only feel good movies,and books etc..?

hard.. Try to avoid alcahol and stimulants such as coffee or tea (particularly after about 4pm)..it is also helpful to refrain from eating foods with added sugar altogether,(and to replace e.g. white bread and rice,pasta, etc with only organic wholegrain varieties). All these things (stimulants etc) help put the mind on high alert! If this doesn`t work then try also to do some basic yoga to help relax muscles,and combine this with a simple meditation technique that relaxes the brian. Good luck!

Generalizing about the anxiety problem is not a good thing. Sometimes anxiety is a message from your inner guide telling U that your destiny is 2 break away from your peers & spend time doing something very different, very profound instead of eating out & going 2 movies. You're right-on about needing help 4 panic attacks, but don't paint anxiety issues with such a broad sweep of the brush. Some of us have "inner guides" who nag us 4 strong reasons like getting on with our great life missions.

I hear ya. I go to boarding school, so usually around "lights out" I have horrible panic attacks.

thanks for sharing your story

Same with me! I think it is because of sleep I am not sure. But like I had a zit or something on my chest and I had a panic attack thinking it was cancer or something when it was something not even close to that.

Its wierd but most of my panic attacks come around midnight or late at night anyone might know why?

Oh woww. I feel soo much better. Alot of what you talked about i deal with today. It reeally sucks bad. You explained it to a T.
