It’s the absolute WORST feeling. I blast AC as well to keep myself as alert as possible. I have to throw my hazards on because I’m so terrified I will pass out at the wheel. They are so severe for me, sometimes to the point where I’m dizzy, my heart feels like it’s beating so fast it will explode, and I feel like I’m going to die.
I have a friend of mine who has a panic attack while driving to our meetup one time and it gotten so bad that she drove back home very fast and ran into her place and cried. I called her up not because I was angry with her for not showing up but it was because I was genuinely worried about her and I called her just to check in on her to see if she was okay and let me tell you, I can hear the tears and the raw, emotional pain in her voice. She said she felt genuinely awful about it and I told her that it was okay and that I was relieved to know that she was safe and sound and that she was okay. She said that nobody had ever call her to checked in if she was okay nor said that they were relieved to hear that she’s back home safe and sound before and well, it really meant ALOT to her to know that I STILL cared about her enough to know that I would never flat out dismissed her as a friend because she knew how much I truly did loved and cared about her dearly. Anyway, my friend, YOU’RE NOT ALONE!!!!! We’re all human and it’s perfectly okay to feel anxious sometimes. A very wise mall Santa that I met, back in 2018, once told me that “even on the cloudiest day the sun STILL shines behind those clouds meaning that no matter how dark it looks, the sun is STILL there and the joy and happiness is there for you as well”. No matter how scary or how uncomfortable things get for you, just know that everything’s going to be okay because you deserve to feel safe, loved, comforted, encouraged and for those who loved you and who really want to help u and be there for you and stay by your side either way. Whether from friends, family or anyone you trust and feel safe with. I maybe an autistic women whose probably may or may not have had a lot of panic attacks but I’ve had anxiety attacks due to my fear of failure in school or at work and not being good enough as a person and that I do understand perfectly well the feelings the worthlessness, lack of self esteem, anxiety, depression, self hatred, loneliness, feeling trapped, frustration, remorsefulness, insecurity and the feeling of wanting to get try to better yourself but always coming out as a failure. Plus having been through Covid and being forced to follow Covid safety protocols like many others has been deeply traumatizing for me as well socially, mentally, physically and emotionally. The point is, your anxieties and everything mental health related DOES NOT define u for who you are, it’s what’s inside your heart and all the things we’ve accomplished in life that truly defines u for who u are. Some people are not gonna always understand what you’re going through but as long as you have the people who loved you or that special someone whom deeply loves u and genuinely cares about u and will do anything in the world to help u to overcome this, you’re gonna come out even stronger and more courageous than ever and before you’ll know it, you’re gonna surprise people by how far you’ve come in the end. Stay strong, have courage, be kind to yourselves, take heart and NEVER EVER give up hope because y’all beautiful and perfect just the way you all are in every way . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@strawberrydiamond5886 No problem. I just wished there were something I can do for u to help you to overcome your anxieties. I will admit I’m no therapist or specialist, I’m just an autistic women who just genuinely cares and shows genuine compassion and empathy for other people’s misfortunes and hardships. I too, also suffered from anxiety and anxiety attacks whenever I get super stressed out at work or school or even get very over stimulated from the sound of crying babies. I’ve always struggled with that growing up and even to this day, I still struggle with it but over the years I’ve learned to overcome and cope with it and I try not to show it around people because I’m very sensitive about my autism, how it can make people angry or frustrated and even test their patience and I tend to be super subconscious about it cause I’m just afraid that people would never understand me and just assume that I’m a bad person. 😔😔
Courage to everyone suffering from this . I have this really often and it has had a huge impact on my life . ( not being able to live alone, need to have family around, start shaking and crying ). I think people who doesn’t have this they can’t understand … One day I was in the underground in London I got this panick attack and thanks god I saw a women that made me feel safe and she said that It was going to be okay. Please if you see anyone having a panick attack just make them feel safe and don’t panick because that is making it worst! ❤
Had my first one in public today in Glasgow lost all my vision and nearly collapsed thankfully a women calmed me down and gave me water what a god send I hope your okay ❤
@@caydenchristie5484 i Hope You are well?? Yes i have the same symptoms . I always try to think about a very nice souvenir to make me feel safe or to stay « realistic ». But It happened again like a few months ago and really it’s hard . We will overcome this 💪. This is due to hypersensitivity.
I used to have it the worse when driving. Driving in the right lane always helped me cause I was close to the exit on freeways and knew I had a way out and blasting AC always helped as well. Play something you like on TH-cam or Hulu. Like your favorite TH-camr or favorite tv show
I usually jump out of the car, but this is much safer! Thanks! Will try next time I am panicking...if I can think clearly enough..... .... .... .... For real though anxiety SUCKS. Thanks for the tips!
This will help me in the future... My anxiety attacks started when I was maybe around 16? But the first time it ever happened was at school when I started hyperventilating out of nowhere then suddenly the anxiety attacks started growing. I thought I had a heart attack at a young age but I got it from my mom since she's always had anxiety attacks when she was young. I don't have money to get some treatment or anything for it I just deal with it as calmly as I can but sometimes I get overly emotional and cry which makes it even worse. I'm 20 years old and it comes and goes but sometimes it wants to stay longer Actually I don't if im right or wrong. Some says it's more of a panic attack it always one thing and another but im doing a lot of research on my own the best I can
Also when you start to dissociate or are so late you can't stop: "red Chevy truck, LINES (breathe), black Nissan altima, LINES (breathe)". Unfortunately I've been in those situations where you can't stop and have to power thru all the way.
@@MeaganSal96 You're welcome! Same, being on time is a must for me (doctors office). Observe the route on GPS the night before and do this. It definitely makes driving a little easier/safer. We're a work in progress ✨️ ♡
I had one this morning driving on the way to work. Had to park and walk around for a half hour to calm down. I don’t wish it upon my worst enemy. IT SUCKS 😅
I just barely getting these attacks. Ive never had them before. My hands get sweaty. My heart start beating faster. I get scared. I have to pull over. When im in the middle lane it gets worse.
Do you have any solution I’m a man I have 21 years old and at the beginning I was driving normal and I loved driving but in this last 7 months every time when I go out of my city I’m getting that problem My hands get sweating my heart betting so fast I’m getting scared of losing control i start struggling with breathing that’s really make me feel bad. Like I’m saying to my self why do I have that panic why this is the worst this in my life.
I was having one on the highway going 15 when I decided to make it really cold. It kept it back enough for me to see a wildlife reserve and go tour it in my car. I was really proud of me
I am not the right age to drive yet. But I still find some of these tips useful. When I feel anxious I like to drink some cold water or maybe turn in the ac. Hope this helps :)
Quick question. How high does your heart go during an episode? Cardiologist said my heart is healthy after testing.it’s anxiety /withdrawals from quitting weed for me I’m almost a month clean but my heart can race up to 130-170 sitting down for a few minutes. 😭 it’s horrible
My heart rate during a panic attack hit 181 once. Usually that’s super ventricular tachycardia numbers which is a fatal arrhythmia. But no, it’s just adrenaline being dumped into your bloodstream. If your doctor says you don’t have a heart condition then your heart rate being that high isn’t dangerous. My best advice when it’s that high is to splash cold water on your face 4-5 times without stopping to trigger the mammalian dive reflex. It slows your heart rate and breathing. I was in the gym when my heart rate got that high so I just poured my water over my head and face. Got it down to a more tolerable 130 and I was able to slowly calm down from there. It takes time, you have to ride it out at some point. But it does end.
@@aFewGoodPets turns out it was due my second shot I took for c. 0 vid. My cardiologist looked at my history and realized I had it around the time I got the shot said a lot of his patients that see him got POTS/IST after it for a few months. Said I wouldn’t die from it Thankfully I’m 98% normal again but it took 6-7 months and I’m getting off beta blockers. I have anxiety due to weed cause my hr was an issue before I got high but getting high made it even worse which gave me a bad trip and sent me to the er that night. 🥲 Cold water def helps but my episodes last 1-3 minutes. The most they’ve lasted was 20 minutes at 130-150bpm sitting but that was in September I’m better now Ty 💜
I blast each see the entire ride even though I am freezing. I still blasted the entire ride every ride And I have to have water Always and I usually always make sure I have a lollipop in my bag Or a Hard candy of some sort
We're not meant to be driving they try to act like it's normal were barely able to ride a horse we're supposed to be hunter-gatherers on tribes walking

i just don't like to drive car that makes me anxious, panick and black out. Better take the bus or have driver and avoid problem as it's too complicated for me.
@@zedBeeztwell whether you know it or not there are a lot of people who can’t afford a brand new car and have to buy an older car where the ac stopped working and it would cost hundreds to thousands to fix it.
Anxiety is caused by wind and Gastric...Heart beats fast Feeling weak it's hard to breathe and feeling lost in life.. Severe anxiety can make a person hallucinate to the point of wanting to commit suicide...I'm also an Anxiety Sufferer...I treat it with traditional methods Old Malay.. The method is massaging the body and the testicles.. The massage therapist will squeeze the vein in the testicle... If the vein is swollen it is caused by the wind that has gathered... And when the vein is swollen... All diseases will come including Anxiety Gerd Gastric and many more .. Modern medicine has not found this method yet...And most people don't believe it...But I've tried it and it turned out to be very effective...I massaged 3 times and the results were satisfactory... Now I can eat anything without abstinence. ..

Yeah, by going through this exact same thing it’s horrible

Honestly sticking your face in cold blowing air is very calming with or without the attack
Blast loud music the vibration soothes you. Music that you like ofcourse
I have to stop and get out. I don't care if it's in rush hour traffic.
I usually jump out of the car, but this is much safer! Thanks! Will try next time I am panicking...if I can think clearly enough.....

Try to breathe the slower you can or holding it helps not hyperventilating and calm symptoms.

I figured out the AC trick intuitively. Had a panic attack while driving over a bridge lol cold air was the first thing that I could "grab on to".
I was having one on the highway going 15 when I decided to make it really cold. It kept it back enough for me to see a wildlife reserve and go tour it in my car. I was really proud of me

A/C or pour cold water on my chest calms me down the water part sounds crazy but it works at least for me it does.
I play my favorite song or pray
When this happens just surrender and don't oppose negative thoughts
Being cold makes me more anxious n I just want to go grab n blanket n lay down, but glad it helps other ppl
This started happening to me on freeway i either exit or pull over on the shoulder
You know I couldn’t figure out why I liked the truck so cold all the time while I’m driving and I think you just answered that for me
My feet shivers .
Ugh, my body and back of my neck gets SO hot … worse in the summer 😢
Cold air works like a charm for me I can’t be in no hot ass car
This only happens to me on Sunday morning when I wake up and start driving to work on the freeway when the road is empty

Listen I am terrified of driving and honestly dreading it
All these tips dont account for others in the car. Definitely do not want to tell any one. I just stopped driving with any one. 😂
It seen fun😂
I just don't drive anymore I get dizzy on the freeway
Same but I need my life back !!!
Same
I used beef tallow it's reduce my dizzy and panic attack but sometime if I eat somthing my panic increasing

What kind of car doesn't have an ac?
Window down and let air come that way ?
