Hello Authentic Mental Health Community❤️
Are you scared of flying or have you ever had a panic attack on a plane before?

[AdrianN.]

Yes.. but nothing to do with "the plane crashing or.. im going to die". Zero fear of planes crashing. But its more claustrophobia and the thought of not being to leave the plane when I want and being stuck in a small space. Irrational. Cant fight it or reason out with the feeling.

[petercooling]

This just made my anxiety worse. Thanks

[Apex_grind]

I have the same thing as your wife. Sucks. Feels like impending doom. You just described the feeling I get. My brain thinks death, pulmonary embolism, trapped, heartattack, numbness, chest pain, tachycardia etc

Freaking
12 hours of monotonous impending doom.

I have a panic disorder. Any situation where it feels like I'm stuck and can't leave makes my anxiety so much worse. Some days I am sort of ok. Other days I don't even feel well enough to leave my house. I am planning on making a pretty long plane trip and I keep thinking about the possibility of have major panic on the plane. So I wanted to see if others have the same fear. That's how I found you. Thanks for making this video!

This is so relatable, I’ve 100% believed that my end was near on a plane and its absolute torture. I’ve mostly gotten over the fear nowadays 👍🏻😁

[abbysworld]

I really hope that those men got arrested or whatever happens to people who smoke on a plane because I know that that’s one of the places we’re doing that isn’t allowed, not sure if that makes it illegal but I hope at least something they got because of their actions

[timstort]

I’ve had some really bad panic attacks and it fully feels like a death incoming experience, don’t wish it on my worst enemy

[Josytt]

That would have scared the sht out of people without anxiety let alone someone with anxiety…

[Mrd]

I've had the same thing happen to me, the first time flying in almost 20 years, it also happens when you sleep away from home, for the first time, in an unfamiliar place, at a hotel or a different area, state, etc, I've also found that caffeine and drinking alot of soda, makes it 1000 times worse, i had a full blown anxiety/panic attack and couldnt sleep for almost 4 days straight, i thought i was going to lose my friggin mind, i was shaking like crazy, tremors, heart palpitations, it was bad, really bad and drinking or eating too much sugar or caffeine will make a normal panic attack feel like an immediate death, so just drink water or something that doesn't have caffeine or sugar, if you are experiencing panic attacks, because i can tell you first hand, that it is 1000 times worse than having a normal attack, it will blow it up to absolute worse!

Been there. I hate planes. I've fainted before because I get terrible heart palpitations during a panic attack.

[goldenbearproductions]

I am so sorry you had this happen!!! :-(

I used to have a horrible fear of flying. I struggle with anxiety, and well, every time I got on a plane, the feelings that came with being in a little tube flying at 500 mph 40, 000 feet up in the sky made me feel this really bad loss of control. To anybody who struggle with this, you’re not alone! On one flight, though, I had this beautiful experience while I was meditating on some Bible verses. My fear is still there now, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be because of this spiritual experience….It’s a lesson I try to hold near and dear to my heart as I still struggle with many other debilitating fears. Maybe, we never know what we are missing until we face our fears…again and again and…well, you get the idea.😅 I’m not trying to imply that every fear will just be instantly healed from praying…Boy, do I wish that was the case! I struggled with my intense fear of flying for about a decade before anything like that happened! Just…I guess those of us with anxiety don’t realize just how strong we are. Our bodies, minds, and spirits are capable of much more than we realize. Here’s to facing more fears and struggles! 😅

[robertsunderland]

Geez i wish that story had a happier ending... like you figured out how to stop freaking out 😨

[Yashtcm]

Where those guys charged with something at least? that was borderline criminal what they did!

[blackhawkedu]

I have a flight of 12 hours tomorrow and I have a lot of anxiety. I have never had anxiety until i ride a rollercoaster. There I started to have anxiet, I had a panick attack during the ride. After it I have anxiety from everything even to ride a car.
I am scared that the plane is like a rollercoaster a little bit. The video relaxed me.

[SunkeeAngel]

Oh AINT no way!!!! My anxiety would have sent me to the moon 😩

[homealonewife]

I totally feel you, cos I have panic disorder as well, it all started few years ago I was on the plane from HK to Singapore, I felt like I was stuck in the plane and couldn't get out, I started to panic and I couldn't breath, my heart jumping so fast and I was so terrified, because I did not know what it was, the fear went high, and I even asked for oxygen from the flight attendant to help my breathing, my husband was there but he didn't know what happened. Since then, I started my medication, and I do have panic attack occasionally even when I'm on ground, but I scare plane the most so I avoid getting on it, even if I had to, I would fear for days before the plane and on my way to airport and on the plane, now I am going on a plane to Japan in two days, I'm so scared now and I want to quit and not going, panic attack is really the worse thing in life.

Something similar happened to me ...One time I was on the school bus and it started smoking the alarm went off kids started crying and the bus felt like it was going to tip over the driver was high and something was wrong with the bus and I found that out when I got older parents weren’t too happy because all they did was say sorry I never took the bus again

[blobcrusher]

I am absolutely terrefied of flying, my mum and brother made it worse last time by feeding into my anxieties for fun, I ended up crying and having a panic attack ><
