I remember having a panic attack near a beautiful beach in Mexico. I was taken by surprise. There was a subconscious thing going on and my anxiety was fueling it. Didn't make any sense at the time because I was in paradise, but as I looked at the big picture there were a lot of stresses I was letting build up. I had to let it pass, it was crazy difficult, took about 40 minutes, and then I was super fatigued afterwards. I now practice mindfulness meditation that helps, a book called "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels has been helpful.

Anxiety and panic have been ruling my life the last few months. I'm on meds and doing the breathwork/meditations. I plan on starting easy yoga soon

Whenever I get panic or anxiety attacks at school people laugh at me and say that I just want attention but I don’t want attention

I have panic attacks so often and people act like I'm over dramatic and those are common And I rented a girl at my school said she had a panic attack in the hallway which I know she didn't cause she was laughing and its longer than 1 minute and that's and anxiety attack and she doesn't know the difference but still like everyone thinks panic attacks and anxiety attacks are the exact same thank you for this video

i’m finding your content pretty helpful! i’ve lived through a lot of trauma, and had to deal with mental health issues, but especially now, i’ve been dealing with distressing intrusive thoughts, after witnessing something traumatic. sometimes i feel alright, but other times my anxiety tries to convince me the thoughts mean something, and i kind of spiral. i’m trying to remind myself to think rationally, and your content helps with that! so thank you so much! currently i’m trying to figure out whether or not i’m ready to start trying to change and overcome this, and your youtube and ig account are a positive factor in this:)

[thegeminiprincess]

You are helping so many people
- including me - get through such difficult things that aren’t normalized enough. Thank you for putting your knowledge out there and being brave enough to press post, because I know how negative the Internet can be. You’re truly making a difference in my life and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making your videos 💖💖💖💖💖💖

One time when I was in the throws of a very stressful episode, I finally spoke to my psychiatrist about what I was feeling. She said it sounded like I was having an anxiety attack with panic attacks sprinkled in. I've had these my whole life 😅😬😭

[MatchaRamn]

Thanks for your video. This is helpful. Does phobia only cause panic attacks?

[paulinasenue]

Genuinely so curious are you using new make up or did you do filters? If it’s make up really nice job you look so much better 😍

[cerebrumexcrement]

i get anxiety attacks from my phobias and ptsd.

Has anyone else had the experience where the world looks as though its seen through water? Or feeling like your mind and body are 2 separate things? You can decide what to to, and can tell your body what to do, but they are 2 separate things? Having to focus with all I have to keep breathing or my body would stop breathing.

I'm honestly not sure what this is categorized as.

One time at school, it was free period so people were screaming, yelling, and running around. It was loud, bright, and because of people running around I could feel the thuds on the floor, which made me very anxious. At some point I started shaking really badly, my eyes were tearing up, my face was hot, and I had shortness of breath. My friend had to bring me to a quiet room but I still couldn’t calm myself down for about 20 minutes. I’m not sure if this is an anxiety attack, or if it is a symptom of a mental disorder. Is this an anxiety attack?

[MiliMehta]

[sakshamsaraff]

Hello Micheline. Really love your videos. They have helped me a lot. I am struggling a lot in life currently. I have Religious OCD, all types of OCD, intrusive thoughts(very bad), Depression, axiety disorder and much more. I keep crying most of the time and I feel terribly alone. No one understands me and I dont know how to come out of this. I am currently under medication and treatment but all I get are suicidal thoughts all day long and I keep beating and hurting myself by punching, using fork or knife. Please Help. everything is going out of control.
