    Sincere thank you, Curtis. Thanks for being you, and thanks for putting out something that most are shying away from. You're a big inspiration. I'm very damn serious on that one. I've been struggling with high functioning depression for many years now. It's been getting worse lately, but your content pushed me through many bad days. It's difficult to undo the damage, but gotta keep at it. Baby steps. Stay strong, mate! We all are not alone! All the best from a usually silent viewer! xxx
    p.s. followed you on instagram recently and your art is sick! Hope to see more of it!

    Hate that anyone has to go through this, I had about a 3-4 year period where I obsessed over my health thinking something was wrong, going in and out of the doctor for heart readings and blood tests clear up to the point I even wore a 24 hour holter monitor just to put my mind at ease and I was only 25. Those days are behind me, I still have my moments but im learning to control them. I wish you the best for your future man, much respect for sharing your story.

    The only silver lining to going through something like this is that you’re never alone, even if it feels like it. There are so many people, whether it’s people in your personal life or strangers on the internet, that can relate to how you’re feeling and we’re all here for you!

  • @spurlockification

    Dude, I know that feeling. I abused alcohol for a good 17 years and have been sober now for 8 months. I thought that once I got sober all of my problems would be solved. Since giving up alcohol I’ve developed a pretty severe case of panic disorder which in turn led to depression. I know that feeling of terror. I have been to the ER thinking I was about to die. It’s an incredibly difficult thing to live with. That fear of not knowing when the panic will strike. People that have never experienced a panic attack, don’t really comprehend the nature of what you’re going through. I do, and I’m sorry that you are struggling with it as well. It is comforting to know that there are others out there who understand and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I’m with ya man.
    -Cheers from the states

      Man I’m relating to this on an insane level - I’m just over a year sober now after a lot of alcohol abuse, and my panic disorder has gotten so much worse, can barely get buses or trains now and even at home I can’t sleep at night because I’ll have night time panic attacks unless I wait until it’s bright outside, panic attacks have gotten so bad, doctor just gave me sentranline if it’s spelt right, either way I’m absolutely mincing myself to take it just because I don’t want/I can’t have my panic get worse before it gets better

  • @ritastulov8412

    Hey Curtis, I am so sorry that you have had to experience that massive panic attack, that sounded so horrible, I got scared when you told about it. I hope you will get better soon and will take care of yourself. It is sometimes very hard to take out time, days...maybe even weeks or months to do nothing or almost nothing than taking care of yourself and especially of your mental health because most people won't understand this due to them never having to go through such stressfull situations which are caused by the own mind. I am happy that you are sharing with us and the world about these kinds of topics. It made me feel less strange in this world and less alone. Lots of love to you Curtis, take care of yourself

    I’m sorry you had to go through all that...
    I do struggle a lot with my social anxiety and there were some rough patches where my depression was really getting the hold of me but thankfully it’s getting better. My anxiety though, is a whole different story and my own timid and shy personality unconsciously just seems to “feed” it. But, last year, I made a lot of progress and I hope I can slowly continue to improve. Even though there’s a lot of ups and downs and it’s a very hard thing to do, I know that sometimes the “reward” is really worth it. Stay strong mate, we’re here for you!

  • @erikklumpp3464
    @erikklumpp3464 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    So sorry to hear man. I have struggled for ages with mental illness and it definitely gets better. Taking meds is sometimes a necessary thing, especially when you're that out of it. Without medication I wouldn't be here so just remember that sometimes medication can be one tool of many to help you through your ordeal.

  • @supak108
    @supak108 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been dealing with this shit for years man. My best advice for the physical effects is to try to talk yourself down. I know that sounds too simple but if you can tell yourself that you're healthy and there is no reason for anything physically bad to happen to you it helps a lot, at least for me. It's a lot to deal with but you'll learn to manage it and talking to a therapist is also a good idea. If you ever need someone to talk to that might understand you can always message me brotha.

    All the love for you! I’m glad you are getting help for your anxiety and panic attacks. I myself are anxious person too and have a history of panic attacks and I have to knock on the wood for not having them getting really bad. I love your videos because you are so relatable and having kinda same backgrounds. You don’t owe us fans anything and I think you don’t need to apologise for not uploding videos very often and I think many of the people who watches your videos are glad for these even if there is long pauses now and a then. Thank you alot!

  • @VRGalaxy_762
    @VRGalaxy_762 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Way to go man. It takes courage to be so transparent about hard issues like anxiety and depression. I suffer from both as well and don’t want to be on any medication. It’s definitely one day at a time. I wish you the very best and you are right....you are not alone! Also, I have recently begun to struggle with horrible insomnia, but I have started to drink real Chamomile tea and I started using a diffuser for Essential Oils, like Lavender and Peppermint, and Orange. I would highly recommend these to you as well as they have greatly lowered my stress, anxiety, etc and really help me to calm down and sleep. I truly hope that you are doing better and if you ever want to talk feel free to message me. Take care.

    The irrational thoughts are the worst - I used to get night terrors and night time panic attacks I’d wake up know where I was but then I’d look out the window and think I was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Half my brain says I can see concrete and cars I know I’m not in the ocean but the other half of my brain was telling me I was in the ocean?? Was scary as fuck

    Man i was being reminded of the brake-downs i have when you were describing what ended up being a really bad panic attack for you. I also get those irrational "paranoid" thoughts you were describing as well, but a bit different way. I sincerely hope you can find a way past this, it can damage so much of your life, im so glad to hear your seeing professionals about it that are helping you. I don't have access to that or even the support group: family, friends, that you do. Stay strong dude, get healthy.
    Also ive watched all your videos and some i even watch again and again, so i've definitely heard you "blabering" for well over ten minutes XD

    @i_love_rescue_animals 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How are you doing now, Curtis? That is a really scary episode. It's been a few months now, so I'm hoping your therapy has been helping. I've suffered from anxiety (and feeling down, but not real depression) for most of my adult life. Anxiety really sucks. I've been diagnosed with GAD. Which a whole ton of people have. But, it's always there. And then sometimes it gets into the real panic stage. Yesterday sucked, so seeing your video really helps. I hope you are doing better! I've found meditation helps.

    This sounds terrifying. I hope it never happens to you again. I had something similar happen two weeks ago. I'm not a big alcohol drinker but I was so stressed that I uncharacteristically bought a bottle of red wine, which is double stupid because I get these rare severe migraines called hemeopalegic migraine and the worst thing i can ingest is red wine. Anyway I drink the bottle of wine and many many cans of whiskey and coke. I then remember lying on a street with a puddle of vomit next to me and passersby feeling my neck pulse and asking if I was dead. The next morning I pick myself up feeling terribly hungover and go home. I remember sitting on the side of my bed hungover staring into space and then I felt very weird and lightheaded i jumped up to open a window and both my arms got pins and needles, more severe than I've ever had they felt like they were being shocked. I started to panic because i didn't know what was happening. Then my legs began to wobble and fail. I took out my phone to call an ambulance but my speech start slurring and my face went numb. I managed to call out my address with a lot of difficulty. I went to the hospital in a wheelchair because my legs lost all sensation and they tested me. They said I'm healthy but i had a migraine and a panic attack at the same time which was brought on by the red wine. I honestly thought it was a stroke and it was my last day alive. A truly horrible day.

I’m still struggling but I’m a lot better, avoiding the stressors is the biggest thing. Looking for meds (or witch? I’m open to suggestions) that can help. I’m so scared meds will make it worse (that’s been my experience) or I’ll be addicted. Thanks for the story, subbing!

    hey i live with this shit (panic Attack anxiety) for exactly two years since yesterday. and it gets better. i mean not away but better. ther are two things i would
    recommend you for this "journey". first breathing! two seconds in tree seconds out. chill s you the fuck out. your
    concentration goes away from the panic (becours you need to
    concentration on counting) and you cant start to hyperventilate, witch is the reasen for the wierd feeling in the body and the spasms and so on.
    the second thing is Lasea. i hate pills two. so my doctor wich is a fan of alternativ medicin (not the
    esoterik way, but the more natur way) gave me Lasea. its just lavender, but it works well your body responses with lavender tasting burp ^^ witch is a nice
    haptic feedback and well....
    no addiction possibilities. natur and stuff your breath will smell amazing... all you want... and it realy realy works and calms you down without feeling to tired ore anything all day.
    i hope my english wanst to bad. so many foreign words.
    I probably would have better written it in german. but to late. good luck and a nice day

    Do you meditate? It's a bit hard to get into concentration meditation (you won't be able to stop your thoughts unless you realize that they are "produced" by your emotions), but it's totally worth the effort.
