coping with anxiety and panic attacks

[fridebloney]

I just wanted to tell you that I like you for who you are. I think you are a really cool person. You have helped me with this video. It was a long time ago when I first seen it and I worked at it and it helped very much and the anxiety is still there but does not come close to bothering me like it did before I watched this video... A huge hug and big thank you..

i was wondering, i have a different kind of anxiety, makes me want to die it can be that powerful, i think work is the only time i feel sane i think if i work full time could that help?

[kiranshrestha100]

Hey! Have you considered anxiety zero technique (I think its at anxiety0.info)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate pretty much cured worries with it.

Hey Hun, I have Anxiety real bad, everyday. I have also had Panic attacks. I didn't know what was wrong with me. So I am on youtube trying to find people that have Anxiety. If you have anything useful to help me with these problems I have. It would be very useful for me. If I can help you I will. Thanks Peggy

[LiliumCandidum27]

Thx so much for this. My panic attacks are really vile at the moment. I feel like I'm gonna die several times a day :( and especially at night I also have this deep fear of suffocating and die from it. I dunno wether I should take some meds for it, but I will try to use your advice. Thanks s much :) Hope all is well with you :) ***Lilium

Thanks for sharing this

try doing eft(emotional freedom techniques) , its easy and free if you do it for yourself,non invasive and drugless and usually works right away

[CARASHOWNTELL]

what is it?

[itsafeeling]

try looking up EFT (emotional freedom techniques) here on youtube, there are many good practioners. They will illustrate it for you. Betty Moore Hafter is one, Dr. Carol Look another, and Gary Craig from San Francisco is the founder. It is a kind of energy work that shifts your body towards balance so you feel better and calmer. Another easy method is z-point process by a fellow Canadian. Try it , its easy and let me know if it helps. best wishes

[itsafeeling]

ps....it looks kind of weird but if you feel the results that won't affect you. you can be skeptical and still have positive results ie you don't have to 'believe' in it

[hyperactivecalvino]

TY for the vid. You 'not being able' to breathe is just pure anxiety. I have had that alot where I think I forgot to take a breathe blahblah. Really you are breathing fine and just think you cannot breathe(like your said). Also when you actually feel like "You cant breathe" is because your chest muscles are not relaxing and you are having a bit of trouble breathing. (I have had that happen) But you are actually breathing fine.

Don't stress about it too much lots of people have anxiety problems.

[CARASHOWNTELL]

thank you. you are so right, making this video has helped me more being able to reach and related to other people. I'm thiniking of making one about depression perhaps gain insights from others through my own insight

[hyperactivecalvino]

Also. Another thing I have done many times when I feel that way. Get a drink of water, go outside and walk. Just walk even though you feel you cannot just walk...

[thebrokenrose]

I love coffee, but cannot drink it because it gives me jitters and makes me nervous which then causes a panic attacks. If a room is stuffy I also get panic attacks triggered. I think I developed panic attacks after years of stopping my anti-depressants ( which I truly no longer need thanks goodness) but I jsut check my pulse alot and take a deep beath over and over and then find someone to talk to so I can forget about it. It then goes away and of course in extreme stress I get them alot

[CARASHOWNTELL]

yes too much caffeine does that. I have high blood pressure/angina so sometimes its harder to "decideE" is it anxiety or am I really going through something? I still keep antianxiety meds but only AS needed as I don't like to be comatose but being one who use to be a medication snob and was against it 10 years ago, I know that was just ignorance on my part when sometimes you need help

[jan29pawan]

when i see its not only me... who suffer from such severe attacks... i feel this problem is ok....

its been years now and i have gone through many panic attacks...that i have almost become used to it..... my life is controlled by my anxious mind.....always ...everytime and becomes worse sometimes...and i started feeling restlessness...

this problem is still driving me crazy....

take care...

[SelfHelpChannel123]

Hey how you doing: I've started a series of videos on my channel about anxiety, panic attacks, chest pain etc. If you need reassurance, come see them. Links to articles, too.

[redcollargedeon]

God damn. This is such a good video.

I'd bet you're grown a lot since making this video.

Possibly because you made these videos.

All the power to you. I'm so proud of you.

[CARASHOWNTELL]

thank you

[CARASHOWNTELL]

thank you so much. i've thought of doing them on depression as well. for it seems people relate better when you can relate your own stories and to know one is not alone going through life with bad things and bad feelings happening.

[redcollargedeon]

You know, we're all in this together, dear.

We may not seek counseling but we all do have issues.

I just happen to know that anxiety is in my blood. I deal with it every day at work. I live alone because of anxiety.

It's a fact of life for me.

YOU have done some progress on this issue, I'm sure. You are not the same person you were a year ago.

There is hope in all this. Never give up.

[CARASHOWNTELL]

i wish i knew something to say that would help you with this as i know it is a terrible mind game we do on ourselves and so hard to come out of or deal with

[redcollargedeon]

I thank you, but I haven't said much about my life.

The good news is that I got rid of the pushers, the pot-smoking friends I had. I quit my job and moved away to get rid of a lot of drama. I wasn't in danger but I got rid of a lot of poison all at once.

I've been dope free since 2002 and I speak english and french: That could land me a pretty good job in Quebec. Only recently have I decided that maybe I'm worthy of that.

I've talked to family and friends. I have good people around me.

[AlenaAlena777]

amazing video, very easy to relate to your experience because of the coherent way you talk about panic attacks... thank you so much for sharing. :) good luck with everything

[PanicAttackResearch]

There are 2 programs out there that are famous for treating Panic Attacks and Anxiety successfully.

They are: Panic Away and The Linden Method.

You may wonder, "Which one is better?" Don't worry, you're not the only one with that question.

Check out the site for the full comparison.

Just go to Google and search the following terms: "panic away linden method unbiase"

The title of the site is "Panic Away & Linden Method - which one is better?"

[southstar87]

I know EXACLY what you mean i have been through years of severe anxiety and panic attacks and there is no way anyone who hasnt experienced it can ever know what its like thanx for your video

[CARASHOWNTELL]

thank you so much. its great people can relate. I'm glad you liked it

[CARASHOWNTELL]

that is so young to have that happen to you. Have you had alot of trauma/stress in your life? i think it's your minds way of coping with it to maybe get you to slow down

[MiKeMetzga13]

im 13 and the first time i had a panic attack i had no idea what was going on i thought i was going to die i started felling real num and weak and i felt i couldnt breath panic attacks have got to be one of the most scariest things ever

[southstar87]

there has never in the history of humanity been a case where someone has died from a panic attack. they are just sensations that you are feeling all in your head. its just not physically possible to die from an attack and when you beleive that without any doubt in your mind then you will never have another attack again live through the panic attack and as it is happening tell yourself this isnt that bad this has happened countless time and i have not come to harm and never will

[MiKeMetzga13]

thanks man i fell alot better

[PetesBloodyHand]

Your absolutely correct. Panic attacks feel horrible but are completely harmless. As you said, no one has ever died or been injured in any way as a result of a panic attack. I have suffered from panic attacks and extreme anxiety for 6 years and i'm physically the same person as I was before I had them. Cut out caffine completely, that helps ALOT.

[tazerfire]

take a deep breathe in, breathe out slowly, breathe out like you are whilstling put sont blow hard just blow out slowly

[CARASHOWNTELL]

thank you so much,

[monkeylove3526]

I have panic attacks---they are the most hellish thing in the world. During one of these nightmare attacks. To you, you are going to die. My daughter took my pulse it was 180 beats, thats insane. I feel my heart going to explode from my cheast.

[CARASHOWNTELL]

it is certainly crazy how your mind becomes so stressed and overwhelmed, i certainly feel for you As I stated it helps and helped me by reassuring myself and crazy as it sounds tell myself I was okay b/c as soon as your mind goes into panic mode you can't really come out of it w/out suffering; so try to reassure yourself you are okay

[slashesandscars]

thats the same thing i think everytime i am going to die and it all seems so real the breathing and all of it and they will be saying nothings wrong

[slashesandscars]

the panick attacks as well

[slashesandscars]

ive delt with this to be honest it scared the hell out of me all i could think was oh my god y kids are going to be without a mom because im going to die

the strangled part that is

[slashesandscars]

the pulse is due to being scared and yes they tell you its all in your head because they cant see they even told me i do that to myself the speeding my heart up from fear that is

[CARASHOWNTELL]

wha happened?
