Panic attacks literally feel like you are having a heart attack. Chest pain, arm numbness, nausea, feel like a hot flash on my face / ears and sometimes I get ringing in the ear too. And have "lost time" black outs with their own issues that are triggered by panic attack. I have MST Military Sexual Trauma, PTSD Anxiety with Disassociative Identity Disorder.

Hi Amy I am so happy to see you on this channel. Thank you It means a lot to me. Thanks you!! xoxoxo Quenby

I def have anxiety! Ive learned to embrace it and be more intentional with actions and words and if I call it out I personally believe it helps me work through it. Let out some deep breaths leave it right there and continue to go!

YOu are absolutely right, when we call it out and say "hey, I am feeling anxious" it helps, it puts us back in control

I have struggled with anxiety for about 10 years now. I have trouble being in any unfamiliar places. Vacations are very difficult for me. I was embarrassed and didn’t want to seek help. I finally saw a counselor for about 8 months and didn’t feel like she helped me at all. I wish I lived in California and I would see you!

@@thegratefultherapist I used to go to a therapist. I recently moved in with my son. Got a job again so soon maybe I can go see a therapist. Not worked since March 21st. My stress level is good now. Thanks for answering me back. Take care

Thank you for doing this channel Quenby! I know it/you will be informative and supportive! A few weeks ago, my primary care dr. sent me to the ER with symptoms of a heart attack (heart racing/palpitations, chest tightness/heaviness, arm pain, tiredness, sudden sweats, lack of appetite). I'm a super healthy 60 year old, but my dad had a heart attack at age 42, and both of his parents died early from heart attacks as well, though I do not have the same body type (obesity) or extenuating lifestyle contributors (smoking, alcoholic, drug abuse). After an EKG and blood test (to the tune of over $3,000!), heart issues were ruled out and anxiety was diagnosed. Other than when I lost my daughter in a full term pregnancy, I have never had these symptoms of anxiety, even during the years when my daily life and partnership was a nightmare of abuse! My life/relationship is now one of contentment, security and abundance...so I'm assuming that even though I don't necessarily feel anxious/stressed, my body is subconsciously reacting to the effects of the current chaotic world situation, and am working hard every day to acknowledge and balance the overwhelm, worry, uncertainty, disruption of normalcy, and lack of control I am actually feeling...as are many, many people these days I would imagine.

Knowing my worth abd embracing all my quirks...its ok im not abnormal...thats why ppl throwit around so often...its the "in" thing!!

Yes, there is a reason you feel lightheaded, your brain is sending crazy hormones through your body to flood you with the energy you need to fight or flight, and most times we really don't need that right?

Love your new channel, Quenby! You are going to help so many people, especially during this difficult time. I love how you said that anxiety is about perception and fight or flight. That makes so much sense! I've struggled with anxiety my entire life. Therapy, medication and self-care practices have helped me enormously. I love CBT : )

Ok so i have to admit that you gave some really good pointers on how to deal with anxiety. Some that i have never heard of. Over the years i have learned how to deal with Panic attacks but my anxiety stems from a child. And i have yet still not been able to really control it. I do believe therapist help sooo much i have been to two in my life. One for panic attacks and 1 when my sister died in 2014. But i never really talked about anxiety. Prime example, Last night i layed in bed all night thinking of all the bad things that a "going" to happen. I have no idea if they will, they probably won't. So with that said i know i need to talk to someone again but this time about anxiety. So who ever reads this. your not broke you just need to talk to someone and that's ok!

Thank you for explaining the difference between anxiety and worry in understandable terms. I appreciate the strategies you offer. Today was the fist day of Fall classes and anxiety was showed up for each class! lol After classes I felt felt overwhelmed and wasn't sure where to start. I started a list of the things that needed to be done today. So yeah journaling (making a list) helped me. Also scheduling and forming a study plan is what decreased my anxiety. Didn't give me much time for reselling but it's alllll good!
