Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks #72

I have been in a deep depression where I had panic attacks every single day for about six months. The turning point for me was getting the courage to seek professional help, just talking about my feelings with an outsider really helped! No judging, and no do´s or don´ts, just listening and helping me in the right thinking-direction have changed my life dramatically to the better. I still go to my counselor, and it helps me keeping my mind on the right track.
Thank you for a wonderful channel <3

Whew! I'm another who experience(d) panic attacks exactly the way you described. Some aspects aren't as bad lately, but some still are. I try to avoid situations that usually bring on the attacks.

This video is beautiful and filled with so many options. I can't wait to try some of them. Thanks so much!! -3

i suffer exactly 100% of anxiety like you described in this video and I've tried almost everything and nothing helped me, i will try the things that you suggested and i hope it will help me, thank you for this video Phillip.

Great video. I have my valerian and passionflower on deck for when I feel frazzled. Two bags of chamomile tea also do the trick Thanks for sharing.

wow thank u so much for this. found myself gettin emotional watchin this. made me feel so much better knowin u can over come this thank u

@LovingRaw that's epic. Everything works out in perfect timing!

@NicoletteLynnMusic the funny thing is I have a blog going out on my site tomorrow on how to find a naturopath. not kidding.

@NicoletteLynnMusic Yeah, I am looking into naturopaths in my area, trying to decide which one might be best for me! Thanks again! I love your channel!

@NicoletteLynnMusic thanks for sticking it out. Yeah, it was a long one, but there is a bit of info to cover. Sorry, I'm not familiar with medications or the side effects of coming off. Maybe check out a naturopath.

Wow, thank-you for this! When I saw it was 20 min. I kept putting off watching it, but I am glad that I did. I don't know that I have ever had what people call panic attacks, but I have anxiety and depression about 95% of the time. I am really interested in alternative methods of dealing with this as I have been on Paxil (an SSRI antidepressant) for about 11 years (and I am only 21 now) and REALLY WANT TO GET OFF OF IT! Do you have any suggestions for coming off meds like that?

Thanks for bringing this up. I've spent the last few years in recovery from an abusive upbringing and in this process, found myself feeling scared and alone on several occasions. Lots of love to anyone who's experiencing panic attacks. Although it can be very uncomfortable, panic is there to help us see where we need to rebalance within. Healing mind and body together.. Good support systems help too!

5- HTP,,,,yes

Peace and Calming from Young Living really helps me.

Thanks Philip. All GREAT points you made and i'd like to add one… HYDRATION!

Taking Passion Flower helped me, as well as St. John's Wort. I use Valerian to help me sleep. Peppermint and Camomile Tea helps too.

@kingskid29223 Yeah, breathing was key for me, let me know how the oils go

I really appreciate you posting this Philip. I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for years. Breathing has helped me tremendously, but I will definitely try some of the oils and things that you mentioned

Passion Flower is the best for anxiety. WORKS GREAT !!!

@denwagner Thanks for the feedback, Andrew Weil, I'll have to check that out!

Awesome stuff Phillip! I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks. And your right. It is hard to talk to people who haven't experienced them. The valerian root helped me a lot and the breathing. I got Andrew Weil's CD on breathing and that was one of the biggest helps. Researching what was going on with me was what brought me to eating raw. I had so many dr visits and ER visits. They put me on this med and that med and I was frustrated with it all. I have more success with natural remedies
