I used to suffer from horrifically severe panic attacks and tried everything to stop them. Slow breathing, visualization, environmental focusing etc. Nothing helped. Then, once during an extremely intense panic attack, I farted. It made me laugh. After I laughed I noticed my body starting to calm itself a bit. This led to the attack slowly subsiding then eventually coming to an end. I realized that my genuine laughter must have sent a signal to my brain that I wasn't THAT panicked. Since then, whenever I've felt a panic attack coming on, I go on KZread via my phone and listen to fart videos. It's worked like a charm. FYI: this is a true story, I'm not trying to be funny.

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

I broke down earlier because im so sick of it and miss the old me. I hope my life can go back to better than normal again 😢

In my 37 years of panic attacks, I have never dealt with them UNTIL this year. It scares the living daylights out of me and the worst has been when it happens during driving. I start fearing that I am gonna die if I pass out and drive off the road. Thanks for this!

Jeff, Surprised --you need medication. How are you now? To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

Just had my 5th panic attack yesterday, felt like i was gonna die, like someone or something choking my throat and my chest felt so tight. My first time was when I’m driving, thank God I was able to stop the vehicle safely.

After suffering for 10 years I've had thousands of horrific panic attacks where i thought this was my last moments. NOTHING ever happens it always calms down guys. You can totally over come panic attacks. I admire this doctor he truly knows what he's talking about. Why ??? He has been through it and you can tell. Very informative video.

I get overwhelming, terrifying, uncontrollable feelings of panic that come on unexpectedly out of the blue, and feel that I must immediately get away from wherever I am. During the episodes my body feels hot, feels like I can't breathe like I'm going to suffocate or being smothered, and feel claustrophobic as if everything is closing in on me. It's HORRIBLE and can make me cry just talking about it!! I often want to hurry outside and escape to big open spaces and feel like I need to be around people/friends to help calm me or I will freak out. It's a sudden feeling of I've got to get out right now, get away, run for my life. Even talking about it in this comment can cause anxiety. Seems to happen more often when I'm tired and haven't slept well, but not always. It just happened when I was about to get my hair cut, I know it sounds ridiculous. I sat in the chair. She wrapped a warm towel completely around my neck and put the covering over me that keeps the hair off. I suddenly got hot and like I couldn't breathe and I had to get out. I excused myself to the bathroom, where I tried to collect my thoughts and rubbed cold water all over my body under my clothes, tried talking myself down. The episodes can happen anywhere anytime, even when I'm relaxed. During an attack I try to focus on happy things and breathe deeply, but it's very hard, almost impossible, to calm down, at least for awhile. I wonder if anyone else experiences something similar and how they cope. My heart goes out to anyone who suffers from these.

This is a better description of a panic attack than any professionals have ever given. If I am awakened in the night, this will happen to me. If I hear certain music, it will happen. It is not primarily a physical thing--it is a mental thing, so no amount of relaxing, "grounding," massaging, distracting, or reasoning stops it. My CBT instructor gave me the best advice. He said that the chemistry that gives you the feelings cannot be sustained and will run itself out. Keep this in mind. The attack will not last. Keeping this thought is the closest I've ever come to relief during an attack. I recently started taking a supplement of 5-MTHF 1mg, which I saw somewhere was recommended for panic attacks. I have not had an attack since I started taking it about a month ago. I have also eliminated sugar from my diet and started intermittent fasting and MCT oil, so it could be a nutritional thing, though panic attacks can be caused also by mitral valve prolapse syndrome, which is a metabolic problem. So all this points to a nutritional solution, in my opinion. I hope you try this and reply if it works for you.

I'd describe what I have as anxiety attacks rather than panic attacks judging from the comments. The racing heart is the worst and scariest symptom. A couple of things that you can do. First get an ECG done, which will probably reassure you that your heart is OK (yes I know that may take a bit of courage). Second, get a prescription for alpha or beta blockers. They're normally given to people with high blood pressure but they do reduce a high pulse to a normal level in about half an hour, and a schoolfriend who is now a psychiatrist for the NHS sometimes prescribes them for panic attacks. I always carry a couple with me, though try and sit out an anxiety attack first. Hope you're feeling better than you did when you wrote your comment.

Pro tip on panic attacks. Don’t try to soothe it per this video. By resisting, it’ll get worse (what you resist will persist). First of all, they’re completely harmless. Secondly, you need to ask for more. More panic! Dare it to! By doing so, you don’t fear them anymore. A panic attack is a fear of fear. That’s what keeps them alive and makes them stronger. You need to WANT them to happen! The more the better! Quickly you’ll see they’re really nothing to be scared of (it’s the exact same feeling as after you’ve sprinted for a few minutes, physiologically it’s the same). This is the quickest way to cure them, and this is the only cure for panic attacks. Research Dr Claire Weekes.

At first your comment sounds stupid but really it's exactly what helps them but doesn't cure them. I got over mine by forcing myself into situations and places where I knew they'd occur. Like the mall. Being around that many people, far away from my safe place was terrifying. But after a few trips, I can walk around the mall for hours. I still get panic attacks but I'm 98% better than I used to be. I've noticed over the years that my stomach has a lot to do with it. If I get trapped gas, panic attack is surely to follow. Stress causes them too.. So I do limit my interactions with family and friends and situations that could cause stress but you can do it without drugs or therapy. It's possible. I was bed-ridden and house bound for a year. Now I have a job. I'm on the PTA board, I shop, I drive and even drive my family on vacations out of state. I just bring a familiar which is my blanket.

I have no choice but to take medication.

Had my first ever panic attack 2 days ago. Went for a wellness check and out of nowhere my heart is racing. I sat in the waiting room trying to drink water and calm my nerves.. the feeling got so bad I had to tell the nurse I needed help immediately. The doctor came to check my pressure and the whole time checking on me I thought that was my last day here. I instantly went into fear thinking about my child, not wanting to be gone so soon. The doctor ensured me it’s probably an anxiety attack.. they sent me to the ER, they ran tests on me and everything came out fine. I’m gonna try ashwagandha supplements hopefully it helps. But yes the feeling is frightening but I will overcome this. We will all get through this.

Being human, they can prescribe the wrong psych meds etc. sometimes the meds worsen the condition etc. Best advice? TOT - tincture of time. Oh, and patience.

Exactly till now I felt I am alone in this , but now feel much better that so many people are trying to get better like me

I have a panic attack disorder/OCD. The OCD started when I was very young, (about 7 years old) and the panic attacks started when I was about 18. (I’m 21 now.) I remember my first panic attack being breathing related. I was focusing to much on how I was breathing, and it started to feel as though I was breathing manually instead of instinctually. Suddenly my mind made me believe I was going to stop breathing, so it went into panic mode. I COULDNT BREATH. I started rocking myself, and trying everything in my power to ignore this feeling. (Note to self: never ignore panic symptoms, address them) NOTHING HELPED. At the time I didn’t know anything about panic attacks, so I thought I was having some serious health problem. I felt extremely dizzy, and sick to my stomach. The room was spinning, and my fingers and feet cramped up and went numb. It felt like I wasn’t in control of my body, or anything around me. How could I forget the heart flutters in my chest? Felt like someone kept knocking on my chest like it was made of wood. Finally I grounded myself with the help of my family, and some water. OH, a fan blowing on me also really helped. After 3 years of dealing with this anxiety, I’m STILL scared of encountering another one of those panic attacks. The thought of it happening in public terrifies me. It got to the point where I couldn’t eat anymore. I was scared of things in food that could cause heart attacks or any health problem, so I started starving myself! You know how hard it is to find foods with little to no sugar?? NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I went from 155lbs, down to 118lbs in 3 months. It was not good for me at all. Basically, I was lying to myself. I kept telling myself “it’s gotta be the caffeine, or the sugar.. maybe if I cut it all out I’ll be okay!” Nope. I was wrong. Less sugar and caffeine definitely helps, but I don’t recommend completely cutting it cold turkey. Anyways, 3 years down the road I still experience anxiety, after trying everything. I’ve tried therapy, medication, breathing techniques, and so much more. I can’t wait for the day where I find that thing that does help and I can be free from worry. I wish you all luck on this journey, you’re not alone.

I recently had a panic attack and the quickest way I calmed down was to remind myself, "I'm having a panic attack. I'm having a panic attack. I'm having a panic attack." Telling myself that I was undergoing a physical event calmed myself down quick. That sentence reminded myself that there was no threat, no danger, nothing to fear. I just had a weird feeling in my body and I had to remind myself why it was happening. My body was just fucking with me.

Just my two cents, slow deep breaths in my personal experience caused me to become mild to extremely numb as well as brought on dizziness during panic attacks. I felt that a lack of oxygen wasn’t the problem as much as the hyperventilating leading to the over-expelling of carbon dioxide. I began practicing taking short conscious breaths, mainly a focus on 2 seconds in and 2 seconds out which normalized my levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, which made me less prone to attacks. Hope this helps some people out there, much love.

This might work for someone feeling very anxious in general, but a full blown panic attack is probably the worst thing you could experience. It's not distracting your mind from something you think that might happen, you literally feel like you're going to die and feel like you might be having a heart attack or something similar. You get the sensation someone might get when they're having an actual heart attack. For me I had my whole right side go pins and needles, accompanied by a sense of absolute terror. Knowing what it is after the first experience kind of helps manage it a bit, but it's probably the worst feeling ever. The first time if you don't know what it is, feels like you just lost your mind totally. Once you've had that experience it also generates a constant fear that it might happen again. This is where the generalized anxiety kind of gets amplified.

For all of you going through panic attacks. Iam so sorry. I have been dealing with them for a little over 16 years. On and off my Prozac which has helped me tremendously( never be ashamed of turning to medication if you have to) it has now been 2 years since I been off my medication and I get one every once in awhile but I have started doing breathing exercises and cut back on caffeine. So when I feel an attack coming on I breathe and before I know it its gone. It never turns into a full blown attack. Mine used to be so bad that I would get them 3-4 times a day, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and I wouldn't leave my house. Hang in there, it does get better eventually. It's hard I know!!! But always rememebr these things can't kill you and you can control it. ❤

I was on lexapro for a couple of yrs..but the SSD's were horrible and putting a strain on my marriage...went of of it 2 yrs ago ...had a panic attack this morning and thought it was the end...looks like i need to get back on my meds

When I'm having a panic attack I try to close my eyes and recite the alphabet slowly thinking of something beginning with each letter, A.. Apple. B... Ball etc. I know it probably sounds stupid but concentrating on that 99% of the time helps, a few prayers in between and wrap myself in a quilt in bed, feels like a safe place.

The hard thing about a panic attack is actually believing that there is nothing wrong. I had my first panic attack a few days ago, and it was absolutely terrifying. It felt as though I was at the brink of death. Everything was fine like every day life, and then boom. Out of nowhere heart palpitations. It came on so fast I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening. Before I know it my mom was on the phone with 911, and I was lying on the bed completely paralyzed, with my heart beating faster than I ever thought was possible. It was almost impossible to udder the simplest words out of my mouth. I could feel my eyes thumping to the beat of my heart, and I was 100% sure that something had happened where I was experiencing cardiac arrest, and I surely was going to passing away that night. With that being said, what helped me out of that attack was the calm, cool, and collected voice of the EMTs asking me questions that brought me outside the thoughts of certain doom. They asked my name, my birth date. What I had for dinner, what I did over the summer ect. They told me to control my breathing, and as soon as I slow it down my heart rate will stop to drop, and I'll be able to move again. The EMTs that day gained my full trust. Thank God for those professionals. They truly make a difference.

When i have a panic attack, i feel as if the world around me is doomed and will end. I feel like i would die that second. And honestly, people with panic attack who worry about death are not suffering from a mental disorder. It’s real. As i explained it, it doesn’t matter how far away it is till i pass away, i just know it’s coming.

I'm constantly worried about my health; every time I feel something slightly abnormal, whether it be a scratchy throat or feeling hot, I think the worst. And this pandemic has only heightened that, especially because I live with a mother who has metastatic breast cancer that's gone into her lungs. So, I fear that I have covid whenever I feel slightly sick, and sometimes it heightens to a panic attack. I take medications but the pandemic has caused me to be more paranoid, making my medications less effective. Watching this, and especially talking about it right now and reading other comments makes me feel one hell of a lot better and much more calm. The moment of laughter and embarrassment you feel when the panic attack is over is one of the best feelings in the world; the feeling that yeah, you are okay, and your fears aren't real, and that you're not going to die...it's something that someone without anxiety disorder may never experience.

This is true what happened to me. When I was in my early 20s I was sleeping when I had a sudden panic attack, it woke me up and I ran out of my room as if I was in danger. The lights were off and it was pretty dark but somehow I could see the color of my bedroom walls as if the lights were turned on (they looked dimmed actually) as soon as I got out I felt my body get so heavy, I felt very dizzy, I thought I was gonna faint so I leaned against the wall dragging my feet towards the living room where my mom and sister were, it felt like forever and I was crying coz I wanted help and for this horrible feeling of impending doom to stop. I felt like a little child lost and alone. I bust opened the door to the living room, I wanted to ask my mom if she could drive me to the ER but my sister was on the couch nearest to the door. She yelled at me for scaring her and told me “WHAT DO YOU WANT!! STUPID ASS?!?!?” Something clicked in my head and hearing my sister talk annoyed me that my panic attack just stopped. I looked at my sister and I told her “Nothing , I just came to see mom apparently she’s sleeping !!” I went back to my room, and turned on the lights, I didn’t sleep for the rest of the night. Fearing another panic so I just cleaned to keep my mind off it. That was the worst panic attack I had and it took my sister to make me feel “grounded” and annoyed at the same time

Gotta love hearing people who have never had a panic attack talk about things that barely help in the middle of a panic attack

I'm 11 and at the start of June i had a panic attack.I was gonna sleep at almost 2am i think and all of sudden i felt like my heart wasn't working properly,i felt like i was gonna have a heart attack and i was having trouble breathing.I started shaking and i told my mom about it and i thought i was gonna die,but it stopped few minutes later.I went to take a blood test cause at first i didn't know it was a panic attack since i had it at night for no reason.The results said i was healthy and the doctor told me i was healthy.Few days later i had a mini panic attack when i was watching my computer and i quickly went to my mom's room and she calmed me down,she asked me why i was panicing and i told her i was watching something about kidnapping but it didn't scare me that much.I always feel like i'm sweating but it's like a cold sweat,and i even hear my heart in one ear like a wind whenever i go to bed.I still panic and i think i will have a heart attack or my heart isn't working normally,does someone know why i have this?Is it because of my traumatic past or something else?

as a sufferer for 9 years between 2001 and 2010 i feel everyone's pain who goes through this daily. The single hardest thing to battle against when one takes hold. Have faith, it does get better, with time, patience and experience

I had one panic attack. Once I understood what was happening I haven't had one that bad since. My problem is I feel like I'm in a constant state of anxiety. I'm not afraid of the symptoms, I'm just tired of them, tired and sad. I've been on meds for less than a week, been exercising too, so here's hoping.

The thing that makes my panic attacks go away is distracting myself with something. I just play a game on my phone or read something. I usually get so distracted that it goes away.

I have been suffering with panick attacks so much lately and I can’t burden my loved ones anymore. It has become dibilitatinf enough that my therapist wants me to do IOP(intensive outpatient program). I have tried everything, it’s incredibly hard to begin to calm yourself while having one. Late at night they come on without warning and I legitimately think I am dying. I try to ground myself by laying on the floor and doing some stretches. I reassure my brain with positive words and even draw, I have to fight myself instead of giving in. But I eventually get tired enough to sleep. Its exhausting, I wish it was easier but it’s not impossible.

As a person whom have panic non stop for over a year, which gave me depression, Agoraphobia, I over came panic attacks, depression, and now I'm back to working a full time job, my tip is to run towards your fears of a panic attack, sure the sensations are scary, but remember like the doctor said is there to protect us. that's why our blood starts pumping, to get ready to fight or flight, when we fight though each sensations we slowly over come the fears of having panic attacks, but when we flight from the fears, we're only feeding more fears into our anxious mind, fears only feed fears, thing about it this way, a bully only picks on people that doesn't want to fight back, so that person try to avoids the bully, but lives in fears because of the bully, but if that decided to stand up against the bully everyday, that bully will see that he/she can no longer put fears into that person he/she is bullying around.

Thanks Jonny

My brother just had a panic attack now and I watch this video before I got to his house and I calmed him down yay I feel like the best big sister right now 10 points for me LOL thank you for making this video

I mostly get them when im alone so i normally feel better when im communicating with another person. I tried going against the panic attacks but that makes it worse. The best way to get rid of them is to not fear them. Want it to get worse and im sure it wont. Youre over coming your fear of them which makes them go away over time :) im writing this while having one and like i said, i feel better when communicating with others and its 3am so non of my friends are awake lol. I know you can get through it, we'll get through it. Panic attacks cannot hurt you. Good luck

Reading these comments and knowing there are a ton of people going threw the same thing that I am going threw is so relieving

I suffered really horribly years ago with panic attacks to the point of almost becoming agoraphobic from them, but haven't had one in many years so I know what I'm talking about here. The way I got better was 1.) I first joined a panic disorder group in my area where I learned pretty much everything about them and how to prevent them. 2.) The first thing to learn and do, is, immediately when you find yourself starting to go into that "panic mode" immediately force your mind onto something else in the room/area - it could be counting the tiles on the floor, studying the landscape, etc. One really good thing to do is to get one of those "find a word" puzzles (where you have many letters shown in a square and you have to find the different words noted). 3.) If you tend to get panicky while driving - look at the car in front of you and look at the license plate - - make words out of the letters on the license plate - for instance, the license plate is RTM 123. I think of a category - - "names" I then force myself to think of names that begin with RTU....Ralph, Thomas, Michael. Then do the same thing to the next car and following. 4.) You have to force yourself to go into those situations where you don't feel comfortable - but do this with baby steps. I tended not to like to sit in crowds or audiences. So I, at first would sit at the very end of the aisle of chairs and only for a few minutes, then slowly over time would work myself up to sitting longer and perhaps in the middle of a line of chairs. So do what you fear in baby steps. 5.) The panic attacks, I believe, are caused by "catastrophic thinking" and hyperventilation. The "diversion" tactic (forcing your mind off of your symptoms and onto something in the room or area) is the fastest way to halt them. You will eventually gain confidence in yourself using these techniques, but give yourself time to get over them. You are not crazy. You are simply "catastrophically thinking". Best wishes and God bless you in your journey.

Ok, real tips instead of tell sell advices! Wanna get rid of aniety attacks , do all of this : Quit all added sugars, coffee (caffaine), marihuana, alcohol, sigarettes, or simple carbs. Drink 2,5 litrs water a day, eat fresh foods from mother earth. Exercise everyday on a low speed. Learn to say NO to people, dont worry about small things in life, quit negative thinking and replace with positive thinking, walk straight, dont get angry anymore, practice breathing excercices every day laying on bed, breath trough stomach slowly, only do things YOU like to do, dont worry about death, we all will die some day so enjoy, dump negative people, find positive people, go left instead of always right, play like a child again, dont listen music that make depressed, watch happy movies, dont listen to negative news on internet or television anymore, go out in nature, eat small portions over a whole day, dont eat till full, eat 80% till full, when wake up, laugh (if its fake, doenst matter, brain will believe it one day), make list of things you wanna do this year and do IT. Dont be insecure, your a human like the rest, you are not less then the rest. Dont fight anxiety, you know you wont die, you know what it is after 1000s of attacks. And do not give a fuck what people think, you are the one who is in control, your life, your choices (bad or wrong). Be free, be happy, be who you wanna be.

On top of that, now everything feels off, like I felt fine and normal originally and since my first attack now everything doesn't seem real.

@@Bluetabz_on_igg If under medIcation reduce to the lowest mg as they are habit forming. How are you now? To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

This happened to me when I was around 25 years old. It's called derealization/depersonalization. I've been in that state ever since, sadly. I'm now 41 and still struggle with it. I have found some help in medication and slow, intentional breaths. One thing I've learned about panic attacks is they only get worse the more we get worked up. I know it's next to impossible not to get worked up, but if you can remember that you have felt this way before and the feeling does pass, it helps. I hope you're feeling better now.

If you're able to do it. The technique I have been doing for the last 25 years that was shown to me by a doctor when I was 12 (when my first anxiety panic attacks started). Lay flat on your back with your hands palm down by your side. Make sure your legs and feet are pushing into each other and then lift just your legs off the ground 6 inches, hold it there and count to 10. Lower your legs back to the ground and count to 10. Repeat that 5 times. We did this exercise when I started playing football years later. They're called 6 inch killers but it's like a light switch for anxiety and stress. Helps you sleep too when you're having insomnia.

Hearing my heart rate while I try and fall asleep triggers my panic attacks. I get paranoid as I hear my heartbeat and I notice it starts to elevate. I trying adjusting and find a restful spot and again it goes up. At that point I’m trying not to freak out although it feels really easy, actually really comfortable to start shaking and lose control. But I try breathing deeply and drinking some water. It ducks cause I’ve lost a lot of sleep every single night in the pst 7 days

Been experiencing this for a week! Specialy at night i will just woke up in my sleep feeling scared and palpitate. Just want to have a normal life!

When i feel like I'm having a panic attack or if my anxiety just gets a little high I like to be able to have someone to talk to about other things to get my mind off of the anxiety. It helps.

I have uncontrollable anxiety. 10 panic attacks a day… on a good day. Having one now is why I’m here. Doctors don’t know what is the source and obviously on meds. Literally feels like my throat closes and stops working, lungs almost feel like they forget how to work and add that into a pot of your worst fear (like heights), then stir that pot and don’t forget about the scrabbled thoughts or uncontrollable twitching. To sum it up I feel like I’m getting choked 1,000 feet up looking down from the edge of a cliff I feel stuck on with no way down. It’s so bad.

It’s so scary. It comes out of nowhere and I can feel it coming. It feels like impending doom. Even though, I’m in a safe place and not in danger. It’s helpful knowing that I’m not alone. ❤

i have severe anxiety and when I have panic attacks, they are horrendus, and i've tried all the techniques and all that, and i felt that nothing helped. BUT when I did the self-messaging thing to myself, I instantly broke down in tears because of how soothing it was, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. :)
