To the person reading this message.. don't worry.. the pain you're feeling is temporary, close your eyes and remember tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start! Take deep breathes, you are going to be alright! I promise.
Thank you you made me feel so much better and I am currently having a separation anxiety attack but the idea that you said about tmr being a new day made me feel better and you have no idea how much better this made me feel Tysm your comment deserves more likes ❤❤❤
Whoever you are in this video you saved my life and thank you. I was having worst panic attack of my life on day 2 of Bell’s palsy and suddenly I can’t close my left eye or use my left mouth. It’s the most terrifying and depressing thing I can think of that’s ever happened to me. Like it just suddenly sunk in that my face may behave this way forever and was suddenly freaking out
Im 17 and I’ve been suffering anxiety for 3 years and this year has been the most worst year for it. Hopefully 2024 will be a better year where I can overcome it.
Same. I have it at night and get the shakes non stop with nausea and headaches. I shake all night and can’t sleep. I just hope one day I won’t have it and will be able to live my life again…
@@unodakine632that’s how I was 3 years ago. After months of mindfulness exercises like this, In combination with regular journaling I was able to finally sleep. I’m here now because of my first panic attack in many months, but it was short, manageable and in the time it took to watch this video I’ve recovered.
Dude! Same. Been struggling with anxiety at work, out of nowhere, since an injury almost a year ago. I'm a Marine special operations veteran and now I'm a cop in a crazy city. This video just made me suddenly start crying, then I watched the "this guy solved panic attacks" video and started laughing and crying at the same time. The explanations of the feelings were so perfect.
@@joeaardvark9214Yeah weird, I choked on food and didn’t breathe for about 5 mins, last year… Since then, I’ve had what feels like a heart attack and inability to catch any air, every time I exercise. I’ve only just realised they’re panic attacks, brought on when I’m out of breath… Hopefully identifying the problem will be half of the solution. I really want to get back to running without thinking it’s going to kill me😂
@@dantastic6262 Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that happened. But knowing is definitely half the battle. Next time you go for a run, you can put these techniques into practice and know that those feelings can't actually hurt you.
You have saved my life… I was doing an anxiety attack while I was driving… the first thing I though was to call my mom but she didn’t answer, my two best friends too.. they didn’t answer… so I put TH-cam on and searched anxiety attack release and this video came up.. I pulled over and I did this exercise and I was able to get back home safely. Thank you
This video brought tears to my eyes. I am not having an anxiety attack right now but I cried for my past self. My Teenage self, all the years of anxiety and panic attacks, all the depression, all the stuff I went through, I wish I had a video like this back then. I cried for all the people who have gone through so much. Many will find this, and its going to help them. Thank you Emma, your channel has been a blessing to me. It has changed my life. It has changed the way I think about anxiety and depression.

My friend dont worry ... I know how it feels and hurts. But i can say you only one thing... Anxiety and panic attack is not real and it is not permanent. Last year i had anxiety when was suffering from covid 19, symptoms like panic attack,chest pain, difficulty in breathing , sudden jerk in sleep, continuous head ache , fear of heart attack,fear of stroke, fear of sound were hunting me each and every seconds. I went to depression ,i can sleep only 30 mins that too rarely. Those sleepless night exist more than 70 days.. My mind was saying .. thats all, im over , i can't live, fear of unknown disease , fear of my job ,fear of my future all .. I tried to spend most of my time in searching youtube and i got relax when i saw people commenting same as me... Later i motivated my self and i accept that i have anxiety and i believed that i can manage it. The symptoms that exists are not real ( i know it is very very difficult to believe ) but if you start accept and believe yourself . Then day by day each and every symptoms will disappear. Believe me now i feel very bad for those days because i waste my time in unwanted fear which are really not exist. So please give time for it you can definitely recover.no need medicine ..nothing... Even i had short term memory loss😂.. But that too my imagination.. We cant express our real feelings about anxiety to our friends and family. Only anxiety community can understand it better 😀❤️❤️.. Everything will gone and this anxiety will makes sharp you .when you recovery from this dump ,you will be stronger than diamond.. Mark my words my friend. Dont panic ,no need doctor or medicine. Only Believe yourself ..
@@mdidrisibrahim6091 yes its all in the mind. So it takes what feels like lieing to be said, like im fine, theres nothing wrong. Really truth! Then the emotions follow the calm sentences. This infact is about everything in life. X
Im so exhuasted dealing with the anxiety and panic in life. It comes out of no where. I have watched all the videos ans tried everything. Im so hesrtbroken to not feel "normal". I just want to live!!
It says in God's love letter to us, in the Bible, in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end." I am praying for you. Call out to Jesus. Ask him to hold onto you when you can't hold on any more. ❤😊
I’m going through it as well.. I’m so so sorry. It just started for me, I’m 29 years old.. it’s scary, for sure, I’m so sorry you have to go through it too..
Listen to me... You’re doing great right now. Just let this float away on its own. You and I will do this together . Don’t resist it , just know that you and I are going through this together. We’re all here with you right now. Concentrate on you and I working together. Keep in mind I need you through this as well. You’re doing great. We’ll wisk this thing away in no time. See it’s already evaporating. I can hardly feel anything anymore. You did awesome! I love you! There you go... the emotion you’re feeling right now is your body releasing all that pent up anxiety....THIS emotion is good...let it all out... ahhhhh.
I lay in my bed. Had the worst anxiety attack,my husband sleeping like a baby. I ran around the apartment for 3 minutes. Got a hold of myself. Now I'm feeling afraid but better... typical after an attack. Well here I am now and I really feel so much better. I don't need to go wake up my husband. I'm cool. Im calm. I'm safe. Thank you so much. Your voice is soothing .
When she said about going somewhere with less stimulation I understood why I always go to the bathroom while I have a panic attack. I feel secure like nobody is watching me and I can focus on me and calming down. Even just staring at myself in the mirror until I realize I’m okay and I’m in control because I can see myself and that I control me.
So do I. Always in bathroom, on the flor. I can't stand my kids watching me, I need space. I throw all clothes off me, I like to feel a little cold on my skin. The hot temperatures make my anxieti or panic attack even worse. So, bathroom is top. 💪😉
I was having anxiety just few minutes ago. And I tried this. Now I'm feeling a lot better. If anyone having anxiety right now and reading this, I wanna say don't think You're alone, It's natural. I know you can overcome it. Just breath and think something beautiful. Don’t listen to your mind.
Im 69 years old, been struggling with anxiety. Depression and panic attacks all my life. This kind lady just listening to her non threatening voice and her breathing is soooo helpful.thank you so much, i get different levels of panic attacks 2 hours ago i was sitting with my little chihuahua on my lap felt relaxed, then bam lightning struck. This was a level 5 attack it’s slowly going away. Im retired now or id not be able to function art work at all, thank you again im going to check out more of your videos. How powerful your calming breathy slow voice is. Very powerful
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Seems we’re all in the same boat. I’ve had this for 12 yrs and I can’t imagine all your life. I too listen to Emma and it’s very soothing. Thought anxiety and panic attacks never feel good it’s great to know we can come here and feel a little better and learn. I have health anxiety so any little symptom I feel I have anxiety attacks. It’s awful. But I do hope you’re feeling good today and know you’re not alone.🤍
I’m sitting here with my chihuahua on my lap as well🤍 I have been having really bad and frequent anxiety attacks for the past six months and this video is so helpful. Sending love
I’d been feeling anxiety for a few hours kind of growing but it was feeling stuck. Almost like I was fighting it from “popping”. I started to feel gassy and then it moved to my chest. Throat started feeling tight. The critical mass anxiety tape started to play about that so I came here and I’m just grateful for this video and the nice people commenting. Thank you 🙏
I had a brutal relapse of my anxiety yesterday - stressful day at work - but good stress - then meeting up with some friends after work that seemed to increase my anxiety more and on the way home my heart started freaking out - then felt dizzy and got vertigo - and then the massive crying came out - the whole episode lasted a good 3 hours of symptoms triggering on and off - mainly my heart freaking out. I would not wish this condition on my worst enemy. It is horrible to live with and you really think you are going to die there and now. But I went to work the next day and was as productive as I usually am - albeit with hardly any sleep last night. This video brought tears to my eyes - it was so calming, and I can see you understand exactly what an anxiety sufferer deals with every day. God bless you for posting this : )
Hey, you're so strong. You're really strong for going through the scary anxiety episodes. I hope you know that you are safe, you ARE in control of your situation. You CAN get through it. All your thoughts and feelings are valid, it's okay to feel the way you're feeling. Thank you for being so triumphant, and for sharing your experience with us. May God bless you too.
thank you very much for describing the symptoms in detail, it reminds me I'm not alone with this condition and you named exactly most of the same symptoms I experience when getting an anxiety attack. This reminds me we are safe and the bad feeling is just temporary
@@inmortal009 thank you and glad I could help a bit :) i am having another episode tonight so trying to get through it the best I can - God bless anyone dealing with this horrible condition.
@@patrickhandlovsky7665 hope you’re doing better today. Mine have been coming back, which is why I’m here. Trying to beat these back, since they trigger unbearable asthma, on top of everything. I didn’t sleep a single second last night. Thank you for sharing your symptoms, because mine are similar. If you discover anything that helps in addition to the video, please share.
@@desertrose2085 thank you for your nice comment - I'm hanging in there. I find they hit when I have a particularly stressful day - or even indirect stress - my body will usually respond in a not so nice way. Hope you are doing better.
you are going to be okay, i promise. just focus on your breathing and close your eyes. it’s all gonna be alright in the end. relax, and don’t overthink it. you are loved🫶🏼

@@mdidrisibrahim6091 hello sir I am also in panic and anxiety attack...can't able to handle situation...I try to be cool but somewhere my concentration will go to chest and breath holding it feels discomfort...pls give tips sir ...
Accept and allow your feelings. Don’t get upset if they don’t go away immediately. Instead of trying to make it go away, sit with it. Repeat to yourself “I accept and allow this feeling. I accept and allow these thoughts.” You don’t have to like it or agree with your thoughts. You are not your thoughts. I know it’s hard but it does get better. Things do get better, I promise 🤍 Edit: thank you for the love everyone. You are not alone- I was suffering from horrible panic attacks for months but I worked through it & I can promise it does get better day by day. Give yourself compassion 🤍
Just woke up from a bad dream with the worst anxiety. Felt i couldn’t breathe, heart was pounding, this video was the only thing that helped me calm down. Thank you
This helped me relaxed down I broke into cry and apologised myself for putting myself through so much stress. Guys your health is number one never take it for granted
I’ve always known i had anxiety but tonight I experienced one of the worst anxiety attacks and i had no idea what to do to stop it. Thank you, this video stopped the tears from flowing and helped me breath again.
I am 14 years old, and the school year will start soon. Since last year, I've been having more anxiety, undiagnosed though. The whole day today, my anxiety is the worst it's been in months and my therapist is on vacation. My chest hurt and i couldn't stop thinking about the schedules, school and curriculums. This video made my day better and helped me calm down. Thank you.💗
You got this, we’re in this together 🤝 If you’re still feeling bad, just know there’s so many people here that care about you. There’s nothing you need to focus on but reading this comment right now. Take some deep breaths, in, out, in, out. Another thing you could try is just smiling. You often find that smiling makes you feel as if you’re happy, even if you’re not. Give it a try for me, and I hope everything goes okay for you ❤
I didn’t feel so good tonight and I kept on having little anxiety attacks because of my phobia of throwing up! Thank you for this video I will use it more often💗
Omg, me too!! I have really bad emetophobia. It’s caused me a lot of stress over the past few months. Don’t worry about it whatsoever, because I totally feel you ❤
@@wisteriaaa_23 thank you for this comment it makes me feel better! And shows that I’m not alone, it’s been getting better and I hope yours does too! Have an amazing day/evening/night🤍
11 years of anxiety. i haven’t had a panic attack like this in a long time. i’d forgotten how bad it feels; but this video and these comments helped me calm down. ❤️ to you all
I cannot express how grateful that I am to at people like you exist. I was absolutely beside myself, feeling nauseous, anxious, and panicked on a long road trip. I was feeling trapped. This video helped me remember that these feelings aren’t permanent. They will pass. I have tears in my eyes right now because of how profoundly healed I feel. To anyone reading this message that’s currently struggling with anxiety or panic, you’re going to be okay. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now but in a little bit, your anxiety will start to let up and your thoughts will slow down. Find a loved one and tell them how you’re feeling. Give them an opportunity to hear you and to hug you if you can.
I had a moment of clarity after two hours of a downward anxiety spiral. I searched “anxiety calm down” and yours was the first video I saw. I’ve spent so many nights in a chokehold with my anxiety, lost so many hours of sleep because I couldn’t stop hysterically crying. I cannot believe in just over 5 minutes I’ve calmed down to the point that I actually feel tired. Thank you so, so, so much for that. Here’s to hoping there won’t be any more re-triggering happening tonight, but, if it does, now I know where to go.
It's 4am where I am and I woke up due to my anxiety; paced around the house for merely an hour, crying, shaking and unable to calm myself - I opened my laptop and searched "How to Calm Anxiety" and hers was the first I seen and viewed as well and I can honestly say; I am not feeling as worked up as when I initially woke up - I hope to listen to this over and over whenever need be, and honestly hope this will help ease my stress.
I've used this video multiple times as emergency measure. I have it saved alone in a playlist called. ANXIETY EMERGENCY RELIEF! When proverbial excrement hits the rotating thing and everything seems impossibly difficult the only action I need to attempt is to open YT and hit play on my list!
Was on my way to work and really struggling with anxiety. And I have a 12 hour shift coming up. Sat in the car in the parking lot for 5 minutes, listened to this video, and oh mannn am in a much better place now. Not perfect but better. Thanks to all the wonderful and kind people in the comments. ❤️
Amazing all the myriad of ways these damn things can surface. Dizziness, shaking, weakness, nausea, breathlessness, swallowing difficulties, blurred vision, ear pressures, rapid heartbeat, and on and on. Adjust to one, another kind surfaces. It is a struggle being afraid and so hyper focused on symptoms. Don't want to leave home. That's a whole, new, problem. Oy. And still learning and practicing and praying. ❤
Anxiety is the absolute bane of my exsistance. Ive watched dozens of viedoes on the subject and this paticular youtuber genuinely makes me feel better.thank you so effing much
I used to have anxiety attacks, got rid of them by exercising daily, no alcohol, no coffee, and making sure I'm not low in Iron, B12 and all the other vitamins and minerals, oh, and gentle yoga stretches with relaxation daily
This is very underrated. Most of us in the west have 2+ nutritional defiecnces and all the therapy and meditation ect in the world won't help without fixing them first.
Sometimes there's nothing else we can do but this. Everything else will have to wait. We all could use a pause button every now & then. I like to think of my anxiety attacks as a way of my body reminding me it's time to pause for a little bit. When you're overwhelmed, you're overwhelmed. I had to learn to accept that & how to take the time to sit down & take care of those feelings.
It is amazing how your comment is not liked and observed - yet you said it all. This is dysregulation - if we decide to nitpick it, we will make it worse. Like urticaria, allergy skin rash - if we scratch it , it will spread and be worse even though it feels soothing to scratch. On the other hand, if we wait it out, it will calm down on its own, perhaps with the help of oilment. The idea to label something uncomfortable as danger and something to attack and destroy instead of listening it or studying it is called Ableism. And that is CBT - it is therapy of narcissistic errors, based on ableism - to destroy and negate anything that is outside of the norm so that abusers and psychopaths who are causing the chaos are not bothered by our complaints about their abuse. Goodness is chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Been having panic attacks for the past few days due to a family member's current health situation. This video has been an amazing addition to the steps I take to calm down an oncoming panic attack.
Today, I owe you my life. Is the first relaxation exercise that worked for me in years of suffering from generalized anxiety and panic. You know what? Your work is so valuable for people suffering at the edge of losing control.
I woke up last night in an absolute panic. My usual meditation videos were not working so I looked around and found this one. After the video was over, the anxiety disappeared. I listened to the video a second time right after and went right back to sleep during it. Saving this video now.
I am elderly-totally alone (have no family or friends left now and also live in new area-which I hate- after loss of spouse and now no interest x 5 years in this new place and NO desire to socialise - also have MS and bad health). Today I am freaking out - as is usual for me really and I cannot relax…however, have taken note of your gentle words and help and am doing them right now. Thank Youxxx
I can’t stop crying.it really helped. I’ve had depression over death when I was in my teens and lasted for about 9 years. I got over it and was happy but now they’re back in a new way when I turned 30. It’s scarier and causing anxiety attacks . I really hope I can get over these. Thank you thank you thank you thank you xxxx xxxx
Thank you. Honestly, thank you beyond words. I have had an anxiety disorder for as long as I remember, but panic attacks only really every 6 months or so. Recently, it’s been occurring everyday. I suddenly feel like someone is choking me and I’m suffocating, desperately trying to catch my breath. This happened again this evening and I felt an extremely intense panic attack brewing, my lips go pursed and I’m used to the signs now. But my partner is asleep so I didn’t want to wake him because I needed someone to tell me I’m safe. This video saved me from having a lengthy, awful panic attack. I cannot thank you enough. I never comment on TH-cam videos, but I am so grateful that I felt like I had to!❤️
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Found myself here because I felt like I was going to explode with overwhelm and anxiety and didn't know where to turn. Thankyou for helping me to breathe again.
You are ok, you will be absolutely fine. It does feel like hell for a little while but you will not die from this. ❤❤❤ I’m proud of you. This is going to make you stronger in the end
For those who are feeling alone. I promise you are not. You are loved and safe within your own body. This is a moment in time and not forever. Don’t beat yourself up for having this feeling. You are doing your best. If no one told you they love you today, I love you. Wishing peace and blessings to your mind, body and soul. You got this!
I was home alone when a panic attack hit me. I frantically looked for something to help and found this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It helped to ground me and get me out of that awful attack. I appreciate you putting this out there and hope it helps more people like it did me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
I am literally sitting at my desk at work, and all of a sudden, I feel my heart racing, and my anxiety shoots through the roof. I go and find a place I can put my earbuds in, and I put on this video. Thank you
Such a helpful video as a teenager who has been suffering from severe anxiety for over 6 years. It’s ok not to be ok. The worst case scenario isn’t as bad as I think. I can do this and get through all my anxiety and panic attacks. My present situation isn’t my final destination. Thank you for helping me
I didnt do my absolute best on my finals and everyone is dissapointed and beacause of my anxiety i managed to make things worse by pissing off my parents. the fact that i will for sure and can get into the school i want and still feel this agony kills me because i let down others too, not just myself. now its midnight and im lying in my bedroom freaking out about everything. its so quiet especially with headphones. even with them on i can feel my heart in my chest. It felt like i was sinking a few moments ago. Thank you for helping out a bit , personally spilling things out like this makes me better knowing im not 'crazy' and there are probably other people experiencing similar struggles. another thing that really helps the mind for me is when i look out the window, just nature in general and realise that there is so much more than the thing youre worrying about , going outside, petting your dog or cat, laughing with friends, swimming in the sea, relaxing on warm summer nights, eating your favourite meal, rewatching that same show once again, there is so much more to life. were not even meant to be in any sort of pain because of these parts of life but we still do. im constantly trying to accept myself being sensitive usually in nature , but its hard knowing that you cant really share your struggles to anyone in your life, even harder in my country beacuse when anyone shows slight signs of issues theyre deemed as 'insane'. if youre reading this, just know youre not like that for feeling things deeply and being in tune with your senses, too many of them it seems. this time will pass and you will get to be happy again, tommorrow perhaps? well, not for me now, i have another final exam tommorrow (math) and i can confidently say i barely know anything. my procrastination combined with perfectionism and anxiety is gonna be the death of me, i swear. its funny how i wrote all of this and got the lowest score on my english final today. funny or sad..really not sure anymore. english isnt my native language and i understand this may have mistakes but i dont care anymore. this burden is temporary, you will make it through, just remember how many times you did already when you were even worse, you may not realize it now but maybe you will in the future. breathe
It's 5 AM right now, I just woke up from a nightmare, a horrible nightmare, and it was so real but then, suddenly, I woke up, breathing hard, scared, after 10 minutes thinking about what just happened I started crying and running through the house while everyone is asleep. I never had experienced something like that with nightmares... Thank for the video, it really helped me.
Just came down with an anxiety attack. Was on my couch as a make shift bed lying down trying to grasp at something to make me stop crying, shaking and feeling like crap. Came upon your video. Feel kalmer now
I'm literally crying watching this. this morning was the ABSOLUTE worst with my anxiety, it physically causes my pain and I swear I thought my heartwas going to beat out of my chest. Watching this video genuinely helped me and I appreciate you and the vid so much
Hey paulina i suffer from the same thing ,my anxiety started in 2021 september,went for three montgs therapy it then elapsed, conceived and come this year feb i delivered,after delivery ,started having on and off anxiety/panic attacks,it made me fear alot,because each time is deathtime to me i overthink alot and experienxe alot of weird things within my body, atimes i wake up light headed and not losing balance throughout the day, i also have this weird irritation in my head it has not been easy
You just helped me stop my panic attack brought on by taking my new medication Adderall. I had a tiny repressed memory come up yesterday spontaneously and then started feeling sad. Today I took the meds again and had more of a panic feeling arise and realized it was like my terrors of my past childhood sexual abuse! I looked on Reddit and found many people describing their repressed trauma memories spontaneously arising when they took stimulant medication as well!!! Thank God for the internet! 🙏❤️🙏
Currently trying to calm myself down from several bad anxiety attacks this past week, the pharmacy is out of my anxiety/depression medication and I’m going through withdrawals. Thank you so much for this video
I’ve been there… I’m sorry to hear it. Please love yourself and take care of yourself. Take a warm bath, drink something soothing. Tell yourself everything’s gonna be OK. I am with you. I am also at home suffering.
@@EB-gt1pq thank you!! I’m sorry you’re going through this :( I’m currently nauseous and trying to distract myself by watching shows and painting. We will get through this!
I have such a huge fear of throwing up. I went to feel with a VERY full stomach and woke up one hour later feeling funny. My Anxiety just made me have a full blown panic attack just because of this. Watching you video helps me not pass out or let it take over. As I was watching my heart stopped beating as fast and I was able to feel like me again. ❤
To everyone who is still experiencing panic attacks. I've had a few related to tachicardia, and whenever I heard powerful palpitation I lost control and start panicking. I thought I lost the memory capacity to tranquilize myself. The solution for me it's been one and only: the secret to calm down is to wipe out di effort in whatever you are doing, listen to your heartbeat, trying to control your emotions, trying to understand what's happening. Just let go every type of effort you put in everything you do. I've been in panic for 1 year and 1 month. After this I found peace again!!! Hope this can help you guys!
I've had anxiety off and on since I was a little boy. I'm 63 now. The one thing I've learned is that it does pass... and knowing that rationally does help me when I am inside the grip of anxiety. That feeling is so bad...even though I have felt it many times, it's hard to put into words. Right? When I'm not having anxiety, strangely enough I almost forgot how bad it feels...until it comes back and there's no mistaking that feeling! It's a scary place, wanting to crawl out of my skin from being on edge. Wanting to move or walk or move but also feeling week. Even when it won't pass, I cling to the knowledge that it will. It always does. Focusing on that does help to calm me down. The other thing I want to say is once I prayed that my anxiety would go away, but that I would always remember how horrible it feels, so I would be empathetic to others in it's grip. Even with my history, it's easy to become a little callous to others, when I'm feeling good. To hear someone say they have anxiety but not really connect with them in their pain in that moment... so that's where the prayer comes in...I feel like if I forget how bad it is, God is reminding me, so I will stay empathetic to others. It's a tough lesson! But I think people like us who go thru anxiety are made to be more caring to others. Like this therapist, Emma, who does these wonderful videos, I think we all have to suffer to really understand.
Your videos and tools have been truly invaluable to me. I just recently recovered from covid 19 while having serious underlying conditions and everyday I was getting very confused along with breathlessness episodes and panic attacks. I had never experienced this before in my life and binge watching your videos and even just hearing your voice lets me get to a much calmer state. Thank you for everything you do.
my anxiety has been at all time low since i quit vaping but i still get the occasional bad panic attack. i cannot thank everyone who makes these calming videos enough. they work wonders.
Thank you so much! I went to the ER for a panic attack and they did nothing and said physically I was okay. Now I'm anxious and scared all the time it seems and I don't see my GP till next week
I have been experiencing anxiety/panic attacks off and on all day and have been unable to calm down and this video came along at the right time THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I hope you know how wonderful you are. I have been nervous about starting therapy to manage my anxiety. Ive been watching you for about a year and i trust you. You make perfect sense to me. Soooo, i have my first therapy session soon. I wish it could be in person with you. Thank you so much.
Good for you! Therapy is a scary prospect for most of us but it's SO helpful. Good on you for taking active steps to improve your life. Not everyone has the bravery for that.
I’ve been having anxiety attacks for a year and a half now. I thought they were going to dissapear but they’re still here and today you helped me make one go away so thank you
Thank you for stopping my severe anxiety I was having the two hours💚💚💚 I'm going to keep watching this every time I have anxiety or close to a panic attack
I have NEVER had one of these videos work but this one distracted me so much that it straight up went away im litterly so happy what the heck, thank you SO DANG MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤ I always watch those videos where it's a censor point that helps but it never helps, and the other videos I've seen are always to loud or bright with the photos. Honestly tysm ❤❤❤
I just had a major panic attack at work, my coworkers had to drive me home. As soon as I got home I looked up "how to calm down during a panic attack" and came to this video. Thank you so much, this is helping tremendously. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you thank you thank you!
I am not sure if my anxiety is gone, but wow that brought a sense of calmness over me. I think a longer version would have been nice. However, I’ll take what I can get. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much ma'am , i have my exam tomorrow and i couldn't study and everything i read , i forgot. And i started having an anxiety attack I'm glad i found you ❤️ thank you tons ♥️

Panic attack and anxaity is decide heart problems
Coming or not coming heart prblm
Needed to hear this!
Its so nice to read these comments and know I'm not alone
Whoever you are in this video you saved my life and thank you. I was having worst panic attack of my life on day 2 of Bell’s palsy and suddenly I can’t close my left eye or use my left mouth. It’s the most terrifying and depressing thing I can think of that’s ever happened to me. Like it just suddenly sunk in that my face may behave this way forever and was suddenly freaking out
youre not and youre safe
Yes 😊
You are certainly nor alone, and it's hard to describe to someone else who doesn't have the same issues. :( This video and methods helped me so much.
AGREE WITH YOU 💯💯😊😊
Im 17 and I’ve been suffering anxiety for 3 years and this year has been the most worst year for it. Hopefully 2024 will be a better year where I can overcome it.
Same. I have it at night and get the shakes non stop with nausea and headaches. I shake all night and can’t sleep. I just hope one day I won’t have it and will be able to live my life again…
@@unodakine632that’s how I was 3 years ago. After months of mindfulness exercises like this, In combination with regular journaling I was able to finally sleep. I’m here now because of my first panic attack in many months, but it was short, manageable and in the time it took to watch this video I’ve recovered.
I found after the first 2 nights of restful sleep the rest came easier. No more fear of the night
do you experience fast heart rate all the time?
We here with you family
I got about 1 minute into the video, burst into tears, and by the time the video was over, felt the strongest urge to go to sleep. Bodies are strange.
Dude! Same. Been struggling with anxiety at work, out of nowhere, since an injury almost a year ago. I'm a Marine special operations veteran and now I'm a cop in a crazy city. This video just made me suddenly start crying, then I watched the "this guy solved panic attacks" video and started laughing and crying at the same time. The explanations of the feelings were so perfect.
@@joeaardvark9214Yeah weird, I choked on food and didn’t breathe for about 5 mins, last year… Since then, I’ve had what feels like a heart attack and inability to catch any air, every time I exercise. I’ve only just realised they’re panic attacks, brought on when I’m out of breath…
Hopefully identifying the problem will be half of the solution.
I really want to get back to running without thinking it’s going to kill me😂
@@dantastic6262 Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that happened. But knowing is definitely half the battle. Next time you go for a run, you can put these techniques into practice and know that those feelings can't actually hurt you.
It’s currently 1AM and I am experiencing severe anxiety. This video really helps me calm down and I want to thank you
Feeling better?
4AM due to anxiety waking me up; I feel you girl. :(
@@morganknicely8890happens to me every morning. You?
Take a deep breath, drink a lot of water
i am so tired of getting scared
You have saved my life… I was doing an anxiety attack while I was driving… the first thing I though was to call my mom but she didn’t answer, my two best friends too.. they didn’t answer… so I put TH-cam on and searched anxiety attack release and this video came up.. I pulled over and I did this exercise and I was able to get back home safely. Thank you
How to get rid of it permanently...? Yesterday I had severe anxiety attack 😢
@@maitreedebbarma68Lots of Therapy and maybe medications. I would strongly recommend talking to a professional about this if you haven't already
This video brought tears to my eyes. I am not having an anxiety attack right now but I cried for my past self. My Teenage self, all the years of anxiety and panic attacks, all the depression, all the stuff I went through, I wish I had a video like this back then. I cried for all the people who have gone through so much. Many will find this, and its going to help them. Thank you Emma, your channel has been a blessing to me. It has changed my life. It has changed the way I think about anxiety and depression.
Try Letting go instead.
"Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do ..."
"What does letting go mean?
to stop thinking about or being angry about the past or something that happened in the past: She finds it hard to let go of a grudge. You need to let the past go and forgive those who have hurt you. SMART Vocabulary: related words and phrases. Falling and dropping.6 days ago
LET GO | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary"
"Why is letting go so hard?
Letting go is hard because it means that you need to free yourself from some aspects of your past. Things that have become a part of yourself - of what makes you who you are today. Most people understand this as getting rid of that 'thing' resulting to a change in who you are. You can find letting go to be scary.May 30, 2020

Sending love!
I too teared up. Its when she said your going to be ok. I had panick attacks approx 3 times a day for a decade
My friend dont worry ... I know how it feels and hurts. But i can say you only one thing... Anxiety and panic attack is not real and it is not permanent. Last year i had anxiety when was suffering from covid 19, symptoms like panic attack,chest pain, difficulty in breathing , sudden jerk in sleep, continuous head ache , fear of heart attack,fear of stroke, fear of sound were hunting me each and every seconds. I went to depression ,i can sleep only 30 mins that too rarely. Those sleepless night exist more than 70 days..
My mind was saying .. thats all, im over , i can't live, fear of unknown disease , fear of my job ,fear of my future all ..
I tried to spend most of my time in searching youtube and i got relax when i saw people commenting same as me...
Later i motivated my self and i accept that i have anxiety and i believed that i can manage it. The symptoms that exists are not real ( i know it is very very difficult to believe ) but if you start accept and believe yourself . Then day by day each and every symptoms will disappear.
Believe me now i feel very bad for those days because i waste my time in unwanted fear which are really not exist.
So please give time for it you can definitely recover.no need medicine ..nothing...
Even i had short term memory loss😂..
But that too my imagination..
We cant express our real feelings about anxiety to our friends and family.
Only anxiety community can understand it better 😀❤️❤️..
Everything will gone and this anxiety will makes sharp you .when you recovery from this dump ,you will be stronger than diamond..
Mark my words my friend.
Dont panic ,no need doctor or medicine.
Only Believe yourself ..
@@mdidrisibrahim6091 yes its all in the mind. So it takes what feels like lieing to be said, like im fine, theres nothing wrong. Really truth! Then the emotions follow the calm sentences. This infact is about everything in life. X
i listen to this every time i have a panic attack, thank you
Im so exhuasted dealing with the anxiety and panic in life. It comes out of no where. I have watched all the videos ans tried everything. Im so hesrtbroken to not feel "normal". I just want to live!!
Get angry
It says in God's love letter to us, in the Bible, in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end." I am praying for you. Call out to Jesus. Ask him to hold onto you when you can't hold on any more. ❤😊
I’m going through it as well.. I’m so so sorry. It just started for me, I’m 29 years old.. it’s scary, for sure, I’m so sorry you have to go through it too..
Listen to me... You’re doing great right now. Just let this float away on its own. You and I will do this together . Don’t resist it , just know that you and I are going through this together. We’re all here with you right now. Concentrate on you and I working together. Keep in mind I need you through this as well. You’re doing great. We’ll wisk this thing away in no time. See it’s already evaporating. I can hardly feel anything anymore. You did awesome! I love you! There you go... the emotion you’re feeling right now is your body releasing all that pent up anxiety....THIS emotion is good...let it all out... ahhhhh.
This is amazing Thankyou
I started crying. Thank you. 🥹
Thank you sm I was having a breakdown
Thank you
Thank for your comment. It helped me to read that.
Hate these panic attacks I came here tonight because I believed I was gunna have a heart attack but this video helped me and calmed it down ❤
I lay in my bed. Had the worst anxiety attack,my husband sleeping like a baby. I ran around the apartment for 3 minutes. Got a hold of myself. Now I'm feeling afraid but better... typical after an attack. Well here I am now and I really feel so much better. I don't need to go wake up my husband. I'm cool. Im calm. I'm safe. Thank you so much. Your voice is soothing .
When she said about going somewhere with less stimulation I understood why I always go to the bathroom while I have a panic attack. I feel secure like nobody is watching me and I can focus on me and calming down. Even just staring at myself in the mirror until I realize I’m okay and I’m in control because I can see myself and that I control me.
So do I. Always in bathroom, on the flor. I can't stand my kids watching me, I need space. I throw all clothes off me, I like to feel a little cold on my skin. The hot temperatures make my anxieti or panic attack even worse. So, bathroom is top. 💪😉
Literally!!xx
I relate to this. I used to work an extremely fast paced and toxic job where the only place I felt I could escape to was the bathroom stall
I also goto the bathroom… but then my kids bang on the door so I have to go outside
Thank you. I'll try this at work tomorrow.
I was having anxiety just few minutes ago. And I tried this. Now I'm feeling a lot better. If anyone having anxiety right now and reading this, I wanna say don't think You're alone, It's natural. I know you can overcome it. Just breath and think something beautiful. Don’t listen to your mind.
Im 69 years old, been struggling with anxiety. Depression and panic attacks all my life. This kind lady just listening to her non threatening voice and her breathing is soooo helpful.thank you so much, i get different levels of panic attacks 2 hours ago i was sitting with my little chihuahua on my lap felt relaxed, then bam lightning struck. This was a level 5 attack it’s slowly going away. Im retired now or id not be able to function art work at all, thank you again im going to check out more of your videos. How powerful your calming breathy slow voice is. Very powerful
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Seems we’re all in the same boat. I’ve had this for 12 yrs and I can’t imagine all your life. I too listen to Emma and it’s very soothing. Thought anxiety and panic attacks never feel good it’s great to know we can come here and feel a little better and learn. I have health anxiety so any little symptom I feel I have anxiety attacks. It’s awful. But I do hope you’re feeling good today and know you’re not alone.🤍
I’m sitting here with my chihuahua on my lap as well🤍 I have been having really bad and frequent anxiety attacks for the past six months and this video is so helpful. Sending love
I’m so proud of you, Mark. I’ve struggled with a diagnosed anxiety disorder for years, and it’s hard but we all get through it.
AGREE
I’d been feeling anxiety for a few hours kind of growing but it was feeling stuck. Almost like I was fighting it from “popping”. I started to feel gassy and then it moved to my chest. Throat started feeling tight. The critical mass anxiety tape started to play about that so I came here and I’m just grateful for this video and the nice people commenting. Thank you 🙏
I had a brutal relapse of my anxiety yesterday - stressful day at work - but good stress - then meeting up with some friends after work that seemed to increase my anxiety more and on the way home my heart started freaking out - then felt dizzy and got vertigo - and then the massive crying came out - the whole episode lasted a good 3 hours of symptoms triggering on and off - mainly my heart freaking out. I would not wish this condition on my worst enemy. It is horrible to live with and you really think you are going to die there and now. But I went to work the next day and was as productive as I usually am - albeit with hardly any sleep last night. This video brought tears to my eyes - it was so calming, and I can see you understand exactly what an anxiety sufferer deals with every day. God bless you for posting this : )
Hey, you're so strong. You're really strong for going through the scary anxiety episodes. I hope you know that you are safe, you ARE in control of your situation. You CAN get through it. All your thoughts and feelings are valid, it's okay to feel the way you're feeling. Thank you for being so triumphant, and for sharing your experience with us. May God bless you too.
thank you very much for describing the symptoms in detail, it reminds me I'm not alone with this condition and you named exactly most of the same symptoms I experience when getting an anxiety attack.
This reminds me we are safe and the bad feeling is just temporary
@@inmortal009 thank you and glad I could help a bit :) i am having another episode tonight so trying to get through it the best I can - God bless anyone dealing with this horrible condition.
@@patrickhandlovsky7665 hope you’re doing better today. Mine have been coming back, which is why I’m here. Trying to beat these back, since they trigger unbearable asthma, on top of everything. I didn’t sleep a single second last night.
Thank you for sharing your symptoms, because mine are similar. If you discover anything that helps in addition to the video, please share.
@@desertrose2085 thank you for your nice comment - I'm hanging in there. I find they hit when I have a particularly stressful day - or even indirect stress - my body will usually respond in a not so nice way. Hope you are doing better.
you are going to be okay, i promise. just focus on your breathing and close your eyes. it’s all gonna be alright in the end. relax, and don’t overthink it. you are loved🫶🏼
This really helped just now, I was very much mid-anxiety attack and this helped bring me out of it and feel safe 🥺❤❤ thank you Emma

@@mdidrisibrahim6091 hello sir I am also in panic and anxiety attack...can't able to handle situation...I try to be cool but somewhere my concentration will go to chest and breath holding it feels discomfort...pls give tips sir ...
@@praveen9601how r u... Same condition 🥲
How are u noe@@jyotikalcrazyboy3014.1year_ago
SAME
Accept and allow your feelings. Don’t get upset if they don’t go away immediately. Instead of trying to make it go away, sit with it. Repeat to yourself “I accept and allow this feeling. I accept and allow these thoughts.” You don’t have to like it or agree with your thoughts. You are not your thoughts. I know it’s hard but it does get better. Things do get better, I promise 🤍
Edit: thank you for the love everyone. You are not alone- I was suffering from horrible panic attacks for months but I worked through it & I can promise it does get better day by day. Give yourself compassion 🤍
Hello!
Thank you!
I love the DARE program❤
@@BernadetteTheRealest yes!! The DARE program saved me honestly
This approach also works really well for OCD and obsessive thoughts
Yes, definitely helps with OCD
Just woke up from a bad dream with the worst anxiety. Felt i couldn’t breathe, heart was pounding, this video was the only thing that helped me calm down. Thank you
This helped me relaxed down I broke into cry and apologised myself for putting myself through so much stress. Guys your health is number one never take it for granted
I’ve always known i had anxiety but tonight I experienced one of the worst anxiety attacks and i had no idea what to do to stop it. Thank you, this video stopped the tears from flowing and helped me breath again.
I am 14 years old, and the school year will start soon. Since last year, I've been having more anxiety, undiagnosed though. The whole day today, my anxiety is the worst it's been in months and my therapist is on vacation. My chest hurt and i couldn't stop thinking about the schedules, school and curriculums. This video made my day better and helped me calm down. Thank you.💗
You got this, we’re in this together 🤝 If you’re still feeling bad, just know there’s so many people here that care about you. There’s nothing you need to focus on but reading this comment right now. Take some deep breaths, in, out, in, out. Another thing you could try is just smiling. You often find that smiling makes you feel as if you’re happy, even if you’re not. Give it a try for me, and I hope everything goes okay for you ❤
I didn’t feel so good tonight and I kept on having little anxiety attacks because of my phobia of throwing up! Thank you for this video I will use it more often💗
Omg, me too!! I have really bad emetophobia. It’s caused me a lot of stress over the past few months. Don’t worry about it whatsoever, because I totally feel you ❤
@@wisteriaaa_23 thank you for this comment it makes me feel better! And shows that I’m not alone, it’s been getting better and I hope yours does too! Have an amazing day/evening/night🤍
This is why I came here tonight 🥹
Thank you
I know exactly how you feel
I'm with you
@@meganjones2145 so glad you came here to relax! Your not alone and I hope you get better🤍🌷
Never remove this video, its a lifesaver ❤❤❤❤
Your kids are so so blessed to have you as their mother....... They are the ones that will grow up to be secure adult and contribute to the world.
I think about that sort of thing, too. My childhood is long behind me, but I keep thinking what could have been if I’d grown up normally. You?
I was having the WORST anxiety attack just now and this helped a lot. Thank you so much for this video 😭😭
11 years of anxiety. i haven’t had a panic attack like this in a long time. i’d forgotten how bad it feels; but this video and these comments helped me calm down. ❤️ to you all
I’ve been having panic attacks all day today and the worst one was in school this really helped me thank you
My favorite talk down video that I come back to often.
I cannot express how grateful that I am to at people like you exist. I was absolutely beside myself, feeling nauseous, anxious, and panicked on a long road trip. I was feeling trapped. This video helped me remember that these feelings aren’t permanent. They will pass. I have tears in my eyes right now because of how profoundly healed I feel.
To anyone reading this message that’s currently struggling with anxiety or panic, you’re going to be okay. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now but in a little bit, your anxiety will start to let up and your thoughts will slow down. Find a loved one and tell them how you’re feeling. Give them an opportunity to hear you and to hug you if you can.
I had a moment of clarity after two hours of a downward anxiety spiral. I searched “anxiety calm down” and yours was the first video I saw. I’ve spent so many nights in a chokehold with my anxiety, lost so many hours of sleep because I couldn’t stop hysterically crying. I cannot believe in just over 5 minutes I’ve calmed down to the point that I actually feel tired. Thank you so, so, so much for that. Here’s to hoping there won’t be any more re-triggering happening tonight, but, if it does, now I know where to go.
It's like magic :)
Did you know that if you can't sleep it's better to leave bed so you don't associate bed with struggle and suffering?
It's 4am where I am and I woke up due to my anxiety; paced around the house for merely an hour, crying, shaking and unable to calm myself - I opened my laptop and searched "How to Calm Anxiety" and hers was the first I seen and viewed as well and I can honestly say; I am not feeling as worked up as when I initially woke up - I hope to listen to this over and over whenever need be, and honestly hope this will help ease my stress.
I've used this video multiple times as emergency measure. I have it saved alone in a playlist called. ANXIETY EMERGENCY RELIEF!
When proverbial excrement hits the rotating thing and everything seems impossibly difficult the only action I need to attempt is to open YT and hit play on my list!
You just saved med. Thank you. Had anxiety when i was driving but manage to beat it
Was on my way to work and really struggling with anxiety. And I have a 12 hour shift coming up. Sat in the car in the parking lot for 5 minutes, listened to this video, and oh mannn am in a much better place now. Not perfect but better. Thanks to all the wonderful and kind people in the comments. ❤️
I woke up to an anxiety attack, thank you so much for helping me through that with this video. You have a nice calming voice and energy
You saying : You are ok. Helps me the most
Amazing all the myriad of ways these damn things can surface. Dizziness, shaking, weakness, nausea, breathlessness, swallowing difficulties, blurred vision, ear pressures, rapid heartbeat, and on and on. Adjust to one, another kind surfaces. It is a struggle being afraid and so hyper focused on symptoms. Don't want to leave home. That's a whole, new, problem.
Oy. And still learning and practicing and praying. ❤
Anxiety is the absolute bane of my exsistance. Ive watched dozens of viedoes on the subject and this paticular youtuber genuinely makes me feel better.thank you so effing much
Needing someone or something. An escape. Needing help. I need this Pain to stop. I NEED WHATEVER IS THIS MESS IN MY HEAD TO STOP!
I feel you we got this😒
You got this#just hold on ❤one more step and you will be fine promise
I understand we arent giving up we are going to fight the good fight. We dont have to do anything but breathe.❤
Thank a lot my friends ❤️
I must say, the relief I felt when I yawned was immediate, thank you very much!
I used to have anxiety attacks, got rid of them by exercising daily, no alcohol, no coffee, and making sure I'm not low in Iron, B12 and all the other vitamins and minerals, oh, and gentle yoga stretches with relaxation daily
This is very underrated. Most of us in the west have 2+ nutritional defiecnces and all the therapy and meditation ect in the world won't help without fixing them first.
A few weeks ago I got into a fight and every time I remember it my stomach hurts and I start shaking. This has helped me a lot to calm down!!
Sometimes there's nothing else we can do but this. Everything else will have to wait. We all could use a pause button every now & then. I like to think of my anxiety attacks as a way of my body reminding me it's time to pause for a little bit. When you're overwhelmed, you're overwhelmed. I had to learn to accept that & how to take the time to sit down & take care of those feelings.
It is amazing how your comment is not liked and observed - yet you said it all.
This is dysregulation - if we decide to nitpick it, we will make it worse. Like urticaria, allergy skin rash - if we scratch it , it will spread and be worse even though it feels soothing to scratch. On the other hand, if we wait it out, it will calm down on its own, perhaps with the help of oilment.
The idea to label something uncomfortable as danger and something to attack and destroy instead of listening it or studying it is called Ableism. And that is CBT - it is therapy of narcissistic errors, based on ableism - to destroy and negate anything that is outside of the norm so that abusers and psychopaths who are causing the chaos are not bothered by our complaints about their abuse.
Goodness is chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.

i have BPD so my emotions tell me to take a break way too much lmao i hate feeling like this all the time
Been having panic attacks for the past few days due to a family member's current health situation.
This video has been an amazing addition to the steps I take to calm down an oncoming panic attack.
I was crying immediately as soon as you said "It's going to be okay, you can do this". This video really spoke to me. Thank you so much.
Today, I owe you my life. Is the first relaxation exercise that worked for me in years of suffering from generalized anxiety and panic. You know what? Your work is so valuable for people suffering at the edge of losing control.
I woke up last night in an absolute panic. My usual meditation videos were not working so I looked around and found this one. After the video was over, the anxiety disappeared. I listened to the video a second time right after and went right back to sleep during it. Saving this video now.
I am elderly-totally alone (have no family or friends left now and also live in new area-which I hate- after loss of spouse and now no interest x 5 years in this new place and NO desire to socialise - also have MS and bad health). Today I am freaking out - as is usual for me really and I cannot relax…however, have taken note of your gentle words and help and am doing them right now. Thank Youxxx
i hope you’re doing better today.
I can’t stop crying.it really helped. I’ve had depression over death when I was in my teens and lasted for about 9 years. I got over it and was happy but now they’re back in a new way when I turned 30. It’s scarier and causing anxiety attacks . I really hope I can get over these. Thank you thank you thank you thank you xxxx xxxx
Thank you. Honestly, thank you beyond words. I have had an anxiety disorder for as long as I remember, but panic attacks only really every 6 months or so. Recently, it’s been occurring everyday. I suddenly feel like someone is choking me and I’m suffocating, desperately trying to catch my breath.
This happened again this evening and I felt an extremely intense panic attack brewing, my lips go pursed and I’m used to the signs now. But my partner is asleep so I didn’t want to wake him because I needed someone to tell me I’m safe. This video saved me from having a lengthy, awful panic attack. I cannot thank you enough. I never comment on TH-cam videos, but I am so grateful that I felt like I had to!❤️
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
Psilocybin is why I'm on this page lol had a bad trip that caused PTSD and anxiety so bad I had to be put on meds
So how does this work for people who have random drug tests at work?
Found myself here because I felt like I was going to explode with overwhelm and anxiety and didn't know where to turn. Thankyou for helping me to breathe again.
I started sobbing and felt immediate comfort. Thank you.
It wasnt the video i was searching for, but it hit the spot. I'm rooted and cried 4-5 tears.
You are ok, you will be absolutely fine. It does feel like hell for a little while but you will not die from this. ❤❤❤ I’m proud of you. This is going to make you stronger in the end
For those who are feeling alone. I promise you are not. You are loved and safe within your own body. This is a moment in time and not forever. Don’t beat yourself up for having this feeling. You are doing your best. If no one told you they love you today, I love you. Wishing peace and blessings to your mind, body and soul. You got this!
Keep coming back to you as triggered by this one person , am scared sweating freaked out but you’re calming voice saved me again thank you ❤
Every single time I’m stuck in this awful moment, I always click on this. It takes away the anxiety so quickly. I can’t Thankyou enough for this ♥️
I owe you so much. I just had an anxiety attack because today is gonna be the first day of school and I didn’t sleep. Thank you, so much.. ❤
I was home alone when a panic attack hit me. I frantically looked for something to help and found this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It helped to ground me and get me out of that awful attack. I appreciate you putting this out there and hope it helps more people like it did me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Had a fun morning, out. It was time to go home, then anxiety came on. This video helped me feel better. 💜 Thank you.
I am literally sitting at my desk at work, and all of a sudden, I feel my heart racing, and my anxiety shoots through the roof.
I go and find a place I can put my earbuds in, and I put on this video.
Thank you
Such a helpful video as a teenager who has been suffering from severe anxiety for over 6 years. It’s ok not to be ok. The worst case scenario isn’t as bad as I think. I can do this and get through all my anxiety and panic attacks. My present situation isn’t my final destination. Thank you for helping me
I didnt do my absolute best on my finals and everyone is dissapointed and beacause of my anxiety i managed to make things worse by pissing off my parents. the fact that i will for sure and can get into the school i want and still feel this agony kills me because i let down others too, not just myself. now its midnight and im lying in my bedroom freaking out about everything. its so quiet especially with headphones. even with them on i can feel my heart in my chest. It felt like i was sinking a few moments ago. Thank you for helping out a bit , personally spilling things out like this makes me better knowing im not 'crazy' and there are probably other people experiencing similar struggles. another thing that really helps the mind for me is when i look out the window, just nature in general and realise that there is so much more than the thing youre worrying about , going outside, petting your dog or cat, laughing with friends, swimming in the sea, relaxing on warm summer nights, eating your favourite meal, rewatching that same show once again, there is so much more to life. were not even meant to be in any sort of pain because of these parts of life but we still do. im constantly trying to accept myself being sensitive usually in nature , but its hard knowing that you cant really share your struggles to anyone in your life, even harder in my country beacuse when anyone shows slight signs of issues theyre deemed as 'insane'. if youre reading this, just know youre not like that for feeling things deeply and being in tune with your senses, too many of them it seems. this time will pass and you will get to be happy again, tommorrow perhaps? well, not for me now, i have another final exam tommorrow (math) and i can confidently say i barely know anything. my procrastination combined with perfectionism and anxiety is gonna be the death of me, i swear. its funny how i wrote all of this and got the lowest score on my english final today. funny or sad..really not sure anymore. english isnt my native language and i understand this may have mistakes but i dont care anymore. this burden is temporary, you will make it through, just remember how many times you did already when you were even worse, you may not realize it now but maybe you will in the future. breathe
It's 5 AM right now, I just woke up from a nightmare, a horrible nightmare, and it was so real but then, suddenly, I woke up, breathing hard, scared, after 10 minutes thinking about what just happened I started crying and running through the house while everyone is asleep. I never had experienced something like that with nightmares... Thank for the video, it really helped me.
My husband’s in ICU and I’ve watched this like 100 times in the last couple days. Thank you so much for this amazing video and comfort!
Just came down with an anxiety attack. Was on my couch as a make shift bed lying down trying to grasp at something to make me stop crying, shaking and feeling like crap. Came upon your video. Feel kalmer now
I'm literally crying watching this. this morning was the ABSOLUTE worst with my anxiety, it physically causes my pain and I swear I thought my heartwas going to beat out of my chest. Watching this video genuinely helped me and I appreciate you and the vid so much
Hope you are doing better now.

I've been getting anxiety and chest pains so bad it's affecting my thinking habits my thought process headaches and brain fog.
I've been watching these for prolly almost a year, every DANG period cycle. And every time, you help me ❤❤❤
Same!
Woke up with a panic attack and was fully convinced this was the time my body would give up… This video fixed it in a few minutes ❤
You just helped me stop my panic attack brought on by taking my new medication Adderall. I had a tiny repressed memory come up yesterday spontaneously and then started feeling sad. Today I took the meds again and had more of a panic feeling arise and realized it was like my terrors of my past childhood sexual abuse! I looked on Reddit and found many people describing their repressed trauma memories spontaneously arising when they took stimulant medication as well!!! Thank God for the internet! 🙏❤️🙏
Been hyperventilating the whole night, i feel breathless.
Your video calmed me. Thank you so much. You saved my life.
Currently trying to calm myself down from several bad anxiety attacks this past week, the pharmacy is out of my anxiety/depression medication and I’m going through withdrawals. Thank you so much for this video
I’ve been there… I’m sorry to hear it. Please love yourself and take care of yourself. Take a warm bath, drink something soothing. Tell yourself everything’s gonna be OK. I am with you. I am also at home suffering.
@@EB-gt1pq thank you!! I’m sorry you’re going through this :( I’m currently nauseous and trying to distract myself by watching shows and painting. We will get through this!
I have such a huge fear of throwing up. I went to feel with a VERY full stomach and woke up one hour later feeling funny. My Anxiety just made me have a full blown panic attack just because of this. Watching you video helps me not pass out or let it take over. As I was watching my heart stopped beating as fast and I was able to feel like me again. ❤
I dont know how many panic attacks ive had and always come back to this video! You are literally a life saver i cant thank you enough ❤
To everyone who is still experiencing panic attacks. I've had a few related to tachicardia, and whenever I heard powerful palpitation I lost control and start panicking. I thought I lost the memory capacity to tranquilize myself. The solution for me it's been one and only: the secret to calm down is to wipe out di effort in whatever you are doing, listen to your heartbeat, trying to control your emotions, trying to understand what's happening. Just let go every type of effort you put in everything you do. I've been in panic for 1 year and 1 month. After this I found peace again!!! Hope this can help you guys!
I have never calmed down so easily when having an anxiety attack until I watched this video …thank you🫶
I was in the middle of a giant panic attack building up over a few hours. This calmed me right down. Thank you so much for this.
I've had anxiety off and on since I was a little boy. I'm 63 now. The one thing I've learned is that it does pass... and knowing that rationally does help me when I am inside the grip of anxiety. That feeling is so bad...even though I have felt it many times, it's hard to put into words. Right? When I'm not having anxiety, strangely enough I almost forgot how bad it feels...until it comes back and there's no mistaking that feeling! It's a scary place, wanting to crawl out of my skin from being on edge. Wanting to move or walk or move but also feeling week. Even when it won't pass, I cling to the knowledge that it will. It always does. Focusing on that does help to calm me down. The other thing I want to say is once I prayed that my anxiety would go away, but that I would always remember how horrible it feels, so I would be empathetic to others in it's grip. Even with my history, it's easy to become a little callous to others, when I'm feeling good. To hear someone say they have anxiety but not really connect with them in their pain in that moment... so that's where the prayer comes in...I feel like if I forget how bad it is, God is reminding me, so I will stay empathetic to others. It's a tough lesson! But I think people like us who go thru anxiety are made to be more caring to others. Like this therapist, Emma, who does these wonderful videos, I think we all have to suffer to really understand.
Your videos and tools have been truly invaluable to me.
I just recently recovered from covid 19 while having serious underlying conditions and everyday I was getting very confused along with breathlessness episodes and panic attacks. I had never experienced this before in my life and binge watching your videos and even just hearing your voice lets me get to a much calmer state. Thank you for everything you do.
It's wonderful to listen to you, you're not alone, let's walk together to overcome this, everyone
Thank you this surpringly helped more than I thought for a short video . The yawn was a good part
You will get through this and rest assured that you are loved ❤
my anxiety has been at all time low since i quit vaping but i still get the occasional bad panic attack. i cannot thank everyone who makes these calming videos enough. they work wonders.
I got really anxious from vaping CBD. Idk why but I stopped for now
@@brokenhero6828 i tried to smoke marijuana to help my anxiety and it'd just launch me straight into a panic attack every time
Your voice is very calming to me, thank you. You broke me from the panic cycle I’ve struggled with.
Thank you so much! I went to the ER for a panic attack and they did nothing and said physically I was okay. Now I'm anxious and scared all the time it seems and I don't see my GP till next week
I have been experiencing anxiety/panic attacks off and on all day and have been unable to calm down and this video came along at the right time THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I hope you know how wonderful you are. I have been nervous about starting therapy to manage my anxiety. Ive been watching you for about a year and i trust you. You make perfect sense to me. Soooo, i have my first therapy session soon. I wish it could be in person with you. Thank you so much.
Good for you! Therapy is a scary prospect for most of us but it's SO helpful. Good on you for taking active steps to improve your life. Not everyone has the bravery for that.
@@PatrickRob82 very true! Very well done ❤
Thank you for this! Having a panic attack and now I’m crying I think it’s a release. This is lovely and comforting
I’ve been having anxiety attacks for a year and a half now. I thought they were going to dissapear but they’re still here and today you helped me make one go away so thank you
Thank you for stopping my severe anxiety I was having the two hours💚💚💚 I'm going to keep watching this every time I have anxiety or close to a panic attack
I have NEVER had one of these videos work but this one distracted me so much that it straight up went away im litterly so happy what the heck, thank you SO DANG MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤ I always watch those videos where it's a censor point that helps but it never helps, and the other videos I've seen are always to loud or bright with the photos. Honestly tysm ❤❤❤
I just had a major panic attack at work, my coworkers had to drive me home. As soon as I got home I looked up "how to calm down during a panic attack" and came to this video. Thank you so much, this is helping tremendously. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you thank you thank you!
I am not sure if my anxiety is gone, but wow that brought a sense of calmness over me. I think a longer version would have been nice. However, I’ll take what I can get. Thank you for this.
