I have. And a mild depression followed soon after. But believe or not, watching Suits (by which I mean Harvey) actually helped in getting my life back together.
@@vashishtshaurya the problem is, it's pretty hard, you're actually being arroused by everything so the fact that you can open a bottles is a nightmare by itself.
Can we talk about how Mike had his back and defended him when he knew that Harvey was having a panic attack? Like, how worried he is, but covers for him? Love their relationship
Also the fact he admitted it as well, normally with panic and anxiety attacks people never want to admit it for fear of appearing weak in front of whoever they happen to be in front of
@@davidgo2019 same, it's the worst feeling when you are crippled by your mind. Letting people around you that you trust know what's going on ultimately helps me a lot. 💖
@Chloe Pinehurst Strength isn't confined to one's physical abilities. What if said person on sickbed had a lot of money, connections etc and all they needed was their words which could ward off anyone looking to threaten them physically.
@Chloe Pinehurst I think you're missing the point. We could 'what if' all day, perhaps you should try to understand the quote from both sides rather than trying to pick it apart with 'what ifs'.
@Chloe Pinehurst that’s not looking at things philosophically, that’s looking at things literally in hypothetical scenarios. The entire art of war is philosophical
Harvey is known to have panic attacks when some one truly close to him tries to walk out or leave him.... Issues steming from his mom leaving his dad kept building on, soo when donna threatened to leave him he started feeling it. And when Mike did it too... It became too much to handle...hence the panic attack
@@V_hello_V when he's about to lose someone*. He was about to lose mike back then and he could've easily had one because it was just days after Donna left him.
@@thepronoob1972 As far as I remember, Mike and Harvey maintained their friendship till the time he went to prison, actually he was loyal by keeping Harvey out of the trial, Donna was also by his side.. I don't think anyone left Harvey at the moment emotionally alone...
@@V_hello_V Mike meant a lot to Harvey, Harvey and Mike were like brothers (even acc to Jessica, Season 7, last episode). Harvey even was willing to go to jail for Mike, even though Mike had been disloyal to Harvey in the past. It wasn't just a matter of loyalty, it was because Harvey cared a lot about Mike. That is why he didn't ever fire him or wasn't supportive of him going with the traders or to Seattle.
@@thepronoob1972 Dude, u just said the same thing I'm trying to say... yeah, obviously Mike and Harvey were tight.. hence Harvey ddnt have a panic attack when he was taken to prison, in fact Harvey was the one who dropped him there....

@@br3nt368 yeah you’re a fool for saying this. Acting out the perfect panic attack is really hard to do and he nailed it. You need to appreciate great acting when you see it bro
Harvey walking to his office from Jessica's was done so well. The fact he's in his own world, in his own head even, shows what a panic attack truly feels like
There was nothing calm about the opening of and pouring from that water bottle. and I'm amazed he made it from Jessica's to his office while having a panic attack. cuz it definitely started in HER office.
i always admired harveys ability to just switch on his confidence. that’s something you need in a competitive field and no matter what was going on, he never let anyone see him sweat (aside from mike & donna in later episodes)
I can't speak for anyone else's experience with panic attacks, but as someone who has suffered a handful himself, this is pretty much spot on. Your peripheral starts to fade, everything becomes fuzzy, you can barely hear anything, your chest tightens, your stomach flips, and you can barely stand up.
When I had my first panic attack I had all those symptoms you mention except chest pain or tightness. However, both my arms went numb, and I lost control of my hands; they clutched into a fist on their own.
It’s that look Harvey gives Mike when he says the second “not now”! The embarassment and also serious ‘help me’. Excellent acting. And the way Harvey snatches the paper at 4:10, that’s soooo realistic during a panic attack because you can’t even breathe
The fact that the writers gave this struggle to Harvey just made me love him even more as a person that’s dealt with panic attacks my entire life. And how he fights through it to get his job done with Jack is a level of strength and impressive that I don’t think people who’ve never experienced a panic attack can understand.
I feel like that's just an effect in our brains after watching so many episodes. It never would have happened, but I always thought Ryan Reynolds could be a great Harvey Specter (I know he doesn't do TV shows).
Gotta give props to Mike while Harvey was having a panic attack. He knew something was off almost instantly and started speaking up for Harvey when he did need it which gave Harvey more time to bounce back with such confidence he won against his enemy.
As someone with extreme anxiety who suffers panic and anxiety attacks daily, this was such an accurate portrayal of a panic attack. The way he tugged his collar like he was getting overheated and being choked, and fumbled when trying to get a drink, plus getting choked up when trying to speak. Not to mention it really does feel like everything passes in a swift yet slow motion. You hear what people are saying, but don’t process it. It’s truly terrifying, and I love and appreciate how they portrayed that here.👏👏👏
Would you mind if I asked you a question about panic attacks and anxiety? I’m genuinely curious, what exactly is it that you’re worried about? And when it happens that often, is still terrifying since you know exactly what it is? I hope I’m not being disrespectful, I’m genuinely just curious and want to learn
@@bosco_sticks my notifications say you replied to me but unfortunately I can’t see your comment. I think TH-cam May have deleted your reply for some reason. Any chance you could answer again? Lol if not no worries
Daily? I've had just one panic attack in my life - while at work - and I NEVER want to relive something like that ever again. It felt like I was having a massive heart attack and thought I was going to die. The pain was incredible not to mention all the other physiological symptoms. So sorry for you, hope you're able to find a way to get better.
When Harvey was having the panic attack, he turned his back and hid his weakness from Jack. This is the sign of a true king. Never show your weakness to your enemies. He took his time to gather his conscience and then only he attacked back. Also idk how many of you observed that even when he was having the panic attack, he first poured water in the glass then drank it. Here too class This show is too awesome
Him snapping out of his panic attack because something else got his attention is such a realistic depiction of what I go through sometimes. I get panicky and start to freak but if something happens in that moment I forget all about it and focus on that. Well done.
I think it's a technique some people who have panic attacks use, focusing on completing some small task to recalibrate (He spilt some water and dropped the cap but focusing on and completing the task is what matters)
I had panic attack once and it was the most terrifying thing I ever experienced. I was afraid almost to death for two years that I'll have another one. And I had but second time I was at home so it was easier for me to overcome it.
The fact that Harvey has his back turned to the other guy(forgot his name) because hes in a weak state and needs time to recuperate before he faces him again to not show any weakness shows Harveys resolve and power.
One of my favourite scenes in the show for its incredible acting on the part of Gabriel Macht. Perfectly personifies what it feels like to be in a state of physical weakness when having a panic attack. The red eyes when he turns around and stares out the window, the way he reacts and turns to Jack Soloff and almost stumbles towards him, the way his voice sounds almost out of breath when speaking to him but finally gains his footing and voice to deliver the finishing blow. Just pure master class in acting, direction and just all-around one of the baddest scenes in the series. Wish they had shown when Jack leaves and he goes back to being more vulnerable and Mike is there to have his back and do whatever he needs to do to help Harvey.
3:15 this part. This exactly what I saw when I was having a really bad panic attack in my class in high school. Every thing and everyone felt like was in slow motion and blurry. I thought I was going to pass out. And the way he snaps back into somewhat calm when he focused his attention to what the other guy was saying is something I do too when I’m anxious or panicking.
Harvey is one of my top 5 tv show characters. It's not just the confidence. It's the fact he can switch it on when it needs it. Even in a bluff confidence carries you. Something I've always lacked is confidence, it's nice seeing Mike go from a self depreciating kid to a grown man with a wife and a career he truly earned. I accept in real life he'd go straight to jail, but in his case because it would be true, the end result far outweighed the means throughout his cases and his entire career.
This panic attack as someone who had them similiar to these in severity but it lasted much longer I can say this was portrayed to the bone, depersonalization, shortness of breath, blurry vision, light feet, chest tightness, tight throat. They are so strong they can even bring the biggest trees down as seen now. I am also pretty big and fit but when I first started getting these it doesn't matter, you feel smaller than a coffee bean.
The look on Mike's face when Harvey says it's a panic attack...it'd be bad enough if he was having a physical issue, but hearing that HARVEY is actually losing it....
And when you said I looked at you as competition, you were wrong. I never looked at you as anything at all. - Harvey Giving his best even during a panic attack.
I don't think people appreciate enough how hard it is to string a sentence together when you're in the middle of a panic attack let alone one as coherent as the one that Harvey did
This is the value of habits. If it's ingrained in your unconciousness, you can keep going halfway on automatic. See also: Gustavo's Fring's last moments.
The calmest panic attack ever... and bro went as far as to try to stifle it with a glass of fresh water. WOW. If only all panic attacks could end that easily
It’s pretty impressive to be in the middle of a panic attack like that still be able to stay calm and acknowledge the fact he’s just having a panic attack. Everytime I have one im so blown away of the power of my mind over my body I refuse to believe I’m actually having one until I look back on it and realize that’s all it was.
Yes they got it spot on. I’ve had 2 and they both start with sweating and tightness in your chest, I think that’s why he was fixing his collar, to help him breathe. The part I love the most was when he poured the water. I can’t describe it but your hands almost seize up. I remember walking into the emergency room I couldn’t even take my wallet out of my pocket to hand them my ID. The show did a great job. Also funny to note mike asked him if he was having heart attack. I went to the emergency the first time I had one because I thought the same thing.
Some of the best 5 mins in TV history. I'd prefer if they extended this clip by 20 seconds so you can see all the energy drain from Harvey's face and Mike promise to go out and fight for him whilst he recovers.
This added an insane amount of depth to Harvey, finally seeing the confident unstoppable lawyer lose his confidence and integrity for even a split moment really does show that he's human underneath that stylish suit.
Imagine having someone telling you it could be a heart attack while convincing yourself you’re not having a heart attack….. that would have sent me on a full blown attack
Fighting during a panic attack actually helps it. Your heart starts beating like you’ve been running which confuses the brain and panics it. So the best thing to do is to start doing something that makes it beat. Like moving around, light exercise or arguing. Everyone is different and handles panic attacks differently of course but giving your brain a reason for your heart to beat will calm it down and not lead to conclusions like heart attacks which then creates a cycle of panic.
They nailed the panic attack feeling 100%. Walls seemingly closing in, everyone seems to be bugging you at the same time, everything seems to be falling apart and you know it’s just your imagination but also can’t stop it. You know it’s just in your head but the symptoms are real. It hits in your early twenties and makes you feel like you are going to die. Pro tip, take an ice cold shower and splash water in your face…will slow your heart rate and eventually calm you down.
Unfortunately, a very realistic depiction. I suffered with these for over a year. Still have them occasionally, but they are not the barrier they once were. Bless all who have these....
For me, this is an incredibly realistic interpretation of a panic attack. Everything slowing down, the inability to breath, the heart thumping so loud it drowns out other noises…. It feels like you’re underwater, unable to catch your breath. Harvey’s panic attacks made me so sad.
4:15 that deep breath there shows pure strength. harvey is a man that commands respect. even under severe pressure and anxiety he finds the power in him to fire back and face the problem head on, i.e. he's a man that won't go down without a fight
My favorite part is right after this scene when Mike kneels down next to Harvey to give him his water, and Harvey says he was bluffing. And then Mike says he’ll get what Harvey needs even though he has a big case of his own.
@@canismajoriss Oh you're right, the subtitles say that! Well, I prefer my version anyway so it'll stay "and my kid's out the door with him" in my heart ☺️
I’ve dealt and still deal with panic attacks and have only ever had 1 diazepam my whole life and it was only 10mg of a dosage. I’ve roughed them out a lot but when they happen; I have a strong handle on them, most of the time. Other times though they can be so brutal and hats off to Suits of how authentic they made it feel with Harvey seeing everyone blurry and everything around him slow and woozy. Such mad respect for this character; absolutely love Gabriel’s portrayal of him. His and Pat’s dynamic is incredible too
I’ve been in a similar situation. Full on panic attack in the middle of an executive presentation. Sometimes you just take a deep breath and push forward. The key is to just tell yourself you’re not going to die, even though your brain is saying otherwise.
Kudos to him for keeping it together like that. I don't get panic attacks often but I had one while driving my mom home from the train station over half an hour away from home in a city I'd never been with no map or gps. Grey vision, barely feeling my body. I couldn't pull over, I couldn't let it out, had no choice but to stay focused on the road to avoid hitting anyone. Scariest 20 minutes of my life. (Panic really set in 5 minutes in and I calmed down when I was back in known territory.)
I’ve had 2 major panic attacks. The way Harvey was walking back to his office is exactly what I felt like when I felt my attack coming on. Tunnel vision. Can’t hear. Weak. Shortness of breath. I hope I never have to go thru that again.
The hallway walk seemed pretty on point. It comes, and suddenly everything feels like a haze. You’re waiting to blackout but you can’t, and anything anyone says either goes unnoticed or completely irritates you.
I stopped watching this show precisely because it gave me panic feelings. The pressure, the ever looming sense of being under attack and the risk of loosing it all. If you've ever been through that or seen it up close, you don't want to watch anything on tv that reminds you of it.
Sometimes, whilst facing a problem as a man, what do you need is a fight, an aim, a purpose. This does not helps just with panic attacks, but with descouragement, depression, etc. Men don't like to 'share their fellings' as women do to relieve their emotions, but have something else to focus on to stop centring your thoughts over negative thinking. That's why Harvey here manage to find some strenght to react against the other fellow.
This is my favourite scene because of many reasons:- 1. This scene made me hate Donna more and Love Mike More. Mike truly cared for him. 2. Also, Jessica being a perfect badass cause she backed Harvey. 3. Harvey being a pure class. This man getting a panic attack still pouring water on glass. 4. Also Harvey Destroyed Jack Soloff on his own after Donna left him.
@@alexthebadassbadger5749 Well then.... You might blame his Therapist Paula Agard also! Because She also triggered his Panic attack at first! She then explained it that the only way to deal with this is by talking about it... So Jessica isn't the bad person here if seen closely.
She wouldn't be if she talked about it with compassion. She could have said "Mike won't leave you" instead of snapping at him and fuelling his fears...
A panic attack is impossible to describe until you get one. You can fight through a panic attack if you have to but this will take every ounce of your energy not to disintegrate into million tiny pieces, literally that's how it feels like.
Oh friggin' brother. Donna's little speech was hilarious. Everybody knew she would go back to Harvey. Homegirl was delusional. Jessica, on the other hand is class personified.
We really hope that none of you have to deal with something like this. Panic attacks are the worst!
I have but it gets better! Life is beautiful.
I have. And a mild depression followed soon after. But believe or not, watching Suits (by which I mean Harvey) actually helped in getting my life back together.
Actually, I am in a forced vacation because i've been dealing with a Lot of panick attacks during the last few weeks. 😭😭
I have anxiety attacks, which arent as bad as panic attacks but they are still not nice to deal with
i had one when suits was canceled
Ma Man's got THAT level of confidence even during a panic attack
Soloff walking into the room is what saved him. Harvey feeds off of conflict and its what knocked him out of panic mode.
Class act!
Ya, right. What a complete and impressive 180.
More like a facade than actual confidence. Man’s the best bluffer in the city, can’t ever let them know that you’re in a position of weakness
More than confidence, it's a.... discipline of sorts. A very strong control over the mind. Great attribute to have, especially in his line of work!
This man is the pure class. Pouring water in a glass to drink while having panic attack.

I thought I was going to pass out. And the way he snaps back into somewhat calm when he focused his attention to what the other guy was saying is something I do too when I’m anxious or panicking.
I like that Mike knew something was wrong right away, and that Harvey was honest with him as well about it being a panic attack.
he focused enough to know that Mike FOR SURE would have called 911 if he didn't disclose what it was.
Man that is one perfect suit Harvey's wearing. Even the thickness of the shirt and angle of the collar and the tie dimple are perfect
Harvey is one of my top 5 tv show characters. It's not just the confidence. It's the fact he can switch it on when it needs it. Even in a bluff confidence carries you. Something I've always lacked is confidence, it's nice seeing Mike go from a self depreciating kid to a grown man with a wife and a career he truly earned. I accept in real life he'd go straight to jail, but in his case because it would be true, the end result far outweighed the means throughout his cases and his entire career.
Just Love how Mike Truly Cares about Harvey! ❤️ Probably the Best Bromance ever!
Harvey and Louis get my vote
Not the same show but I'm a fan of JD and Turk from Scrubs myself.
Harvey specter is so classy that even during the panic attack he is pouring the water in the glass first.
This panic attack as someone who had them similiar to these in severity but it lasted much longer I can say this was portrayed to the bone, depersonalization, shortness of breath, blurry vision, light feet, chest tightness, tight throat. They are so strong they can even bring the biggest trees down as seen now. I am also pretty big and fit but when I first started getting these it doesn't matter, you feel smaller than a coffee bean.
The look on Mike's face when Harvey says it's a panic attack...it'd be bad enough if he was having a physical issue, but hearing that HARVEY is actually losing it....
And when you said I looked at you as competition, you were wrong. I never looked at you as anything at all.
- Harvey
Giving his best even during a panic attack.
I don't think people appreciate enough how hard it is to string a sentence together when you're in the middle of a panic attack let alone one as coherent as the one that Harvey did
This is the value of habits. If it's ingrained in your unconciousness, you can keep going halfway on automatic.

The calmest panic attack ever... and bro went as far as to try to stifle it with a glass of fresh water. WOW. If only all panic attacks could end that easily
It’s pretty impressive to be in the middle of a panic attack like that still be able to stay calm and acknowledge the fact he’s just having a panic attack. Everytime I have one im so blown away of the power of my mind over my body I refuse to believe I’m actually having one until I look back on it and realize that’s all it was.
Yes they got it spot on. I’ve had 2 and they both start with sweating and tightness in your chest, I think that’s why he was fixing his collar, to help him breathe. The part I love the most was when he poured the water. I can’t describe it but your hands almost seize up. I remember walking into the emergency room I couldn’t even take my wallet out of my pocket to hand them my ID. The show did a great job. Also funny to note mike asked him if he was having heart attack. I went to the emergency the first time I had one because I thought the same thing.
Some of the best 5 mins in TV history. I'd prefer if they extended this clip by 20 seconds so you can see all the energy drain from Harvey's face and Mike promise to go out and fight for him whilst he recovers.
Actually incredible acting.
This added an insane amount of depth to Harvey, finally seeing the confident unstoppable lawyer lose his confidence and integrity for even a split moment really does show that he's human underneath that stylish suit.
This depiction of a panic attack actually made me realize that I have had panic attacks. I just never knew what they were like
Imagine having someone telling you it could be a heart attack while convincing yourself you’re not having a heart attack….. that would have sent me on a full blown attack
everyone who regularly experiences panic attacks has to deal with that.
"I never looked at you as anything at all"
Cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
look at my guy Harvey, so inspirational
A killer will always have a little something left for the enemy even at his weakest
What caused the panic attack? The distant POSSIBILITY that Mike would leave him. Harvey will never love anyone more than he loves Mike.
Donna. They started when Donna left.
Fighting during a panic attack actually helps it. Your heart starts beating like you’ve been running which confuses the brain and panics it. So the best thing to do is to start doing something that makes it beat. Like moving around, light exercise or arguing. Everyone is different and handles panic attacks differently of course but giving your brain a reason for your heart to beat will calm it down and not lead to conclusions like heart attacks which then creates a cycle of panic.
What Gabriel Macht did in that last scene makes me believe he could have easily pulled off playing Bruce Wayne.
Harvey is definitely Batman
Bold of you to assume, Harvey ain't Bruce and Mike ain't Robin
He was actually one of the casting picks, I think it’s an inside joke how they call him Batman repeatedly
They nailed the panic attack feeling 100%.
Walls seemingly closing in, everyone seems to be bugging you at the same time, everything seems to be falling apart and you know it’s just your imagination but also can’t stop it. You know it’s just in your head but the symptoms are real.
It hits in your early twenties and makes you feel like you are going to die. Pro tip, take an ice cold shower and splash water in your face…will slow your heart rate and eventually calm you down.
Unfortunately, a very realistic depiction. I suffered with these for over a year. Still have them occasionally, but they are not the barrier they once were. Bless all who have these....
For me, this is an incredibly realistic interpretation of a panic attack. Everything slowing down, the inability to breath, the heart thumping so loud it drowns out other noises…. It feels like you’re underwater, unable to catch your breath. Harvey’s panic attacks made me so sad.
4:15 that deep breath there shows pure strength. harvey is a man that commands respect. even under severe pressure and anxiety he finds the power in him to fire back and face the problem head on, i.e. he's a man that won't go down without a fight
Man has a panic attack and still comes out swinging. What a legend
My favorite part is right after this scene when Mike kneels down next to Harvey to give him his water, and Harvey says he was bluffing. And then Mike says he’ll get what Harvey needs even though he has a big case of his own.
I love how Harvey calls Mike "my kid"
Edit: For those asking it's at 2:30
Where
@@kareenakayla4302
Nope, he says my kid. I edited my comment so the time stamp is there now!
Mike heads out the door*
@@canismajoriss Oh you're right, the subtitles say that! Well, I prefer my version anyway so it'll stay "and my kid's out the door with him" in my heart ☺️
@@tencat24 true I also heard "my kid"
This is a example of Rocky when he recovered quickly to win a fight
The subtle detail of him not removing his tie until he’s in his office is peak class.
I mean I have panic attacks and I can't even move a finger, what a confidence.
I’ve dealt and still deal with panic attacks and have only ever had 1 diazepam my whole life and it was only 10mg of a dosage. I’ve roughed them out a lot but when they happen; I have a strong handle on them, most of the time. Other times though they can be so brutal and hats off to Suits of how authentic they made it feel with Harvey seeing everyone blurry and everything around him slow and woozy. Such mad respect for this character; absolutely love Gabriel’s portrayal of him. His and Pat’s dynamic is incredible too
I’ve been in a similar situation. Full on panic attack in the middle of an executive presentation. Sometimes you just take a deep breath and push forward. The key is to just tell yourself you’re not going to die, even though your brain is saying otherwise.
Please bring this show back one day :( It was the greatest
Harvey always win at breaking someone's ego
Kudos to him for keeping it together like that.
I don't get panic attacks often but I had one while driving my mom home from the train station over half an hour away from home in a city I'd never been with no map or gps. Grey vision, barely feeling my body. I couldn't pull over, I couldn't let it out, had no choice but to stay focused on the road to avoid hitting anyone. Scariest 20 minutes of my life. (Panic really set in 5 minutes in and I calmed down when I was back in known territory.)
Harvey is a badass even when he had a panic attack
This show is pure gold. I Can't believe I have never heard of it till last month. Now i am starting season 9
I’ve had 2 major panic attacks. The way Harvey was walking back to his office is exactly what I felt like when I felt my attack coming on. Tunnel vision. Can’t hear. Weak. Shortness of breath. I hope I never have to go thru that again.
This is the accurate representation of Panic Attack...Had same exp at Airport
The hallway walk seemed pretty on point. It comes, and suddenly everything feels like a haze. You’re waiting to blackout but you can’t, and anything anyone says either goes unnoticed or completely irritates you.
If the words confidence and attitude ever merged to make a man, it would be Harvey Spectre.
Nothing like seething anger to push down a panik attack.
Harvey trusts Mike enough to share with him his problem and Mike being there for him❤
Can't believe how Donna reciprocated with Harvey after all he did for her.
Ya
She is a women, what do you expect?
@@tjg801 What is that supposed to mean?
@@tjg801 you need therapy. I am sorry your mommy messed you up.
@@AnooDw why do I need therapy?
I stopped watching this show precisely because it gave me panic feelings. The pressure, the ever looming sense of being under attack and the risk of loosing it all. If you've ever been through that or seen it up close, you don't want to watch anything on tv that reminds you of it.
They did this scene perfect and showed how calm harvey is
Gretchen is underrated..
The "I never looked at you as anything" was brutal😂
Sometimes, whilst facing a problem as a man, what do you need is a fight, an aim, a purpose. This does not helps just with panic attacks, but with descouragement, depression, etc. Men don't like to 'share their fellings' as women do to relieve their emotions, but have something else to focus on to stop centring your thoughts over negative thinking.
That's why Harvey here manage to find some strenght to react against the other fellow.
This is my favourite scene because of many reasons:-
1. This scene made me hate Donna more and Love Mike More. Mike truly cared for him.
2. Also, Jessica being a perfect badass cause she backed Harvey.
3. Harvey being a pure class. This man getting a panic attack still pouring water on glass.
4. Also Harvey Destroyed Jack Soloff on his own after Donna left him.
She backed him, but Jessica actually triggered the panic attack here by talking about Donna and Mike leaving him...
@@alexthebadassbadger5749 Well then.... You might blame his Therapist Paula Agard also! Because She also triggered his Panic attack at first! She then explained it that the only way to deal with this is by talking about it... So Jessica isn't the bad person here if seen closely.
She wouldn't be if she talked about it with compassion. She could have said "Mike won't leave you" instead of snapping at him and fuelling his fears...
@@alexthebadassbadger5749 That's because Harvey was Blaming her for his doubt on Mike's leaving. Which he should've cleared it with Mike himself.
A panic attack is impossible to describe until you get one. You can fight through a panic attack if you have to but this will take every ounce of your energy not to disintegrate into million tiny pieces, literally that's how it feels like.
Oh friggin' brother. Donna's little speech was hilarious. Everybody knew she would go back to Harvey. Homegirl was delusional. Jessica, on the other hand is class personified.
I love the end when he said he didn't think about him at all
Gotta admit , that’s the most savage comeback ever ! Having a panic atttack and then raining fire on his competitor!
Leaves me in tears to see this while knowing that a man's gotta do what he's gotta do
This is such an underrated scene how he switches from having the attack and getting back at Jack…
0:21 would’ve been hilarious if he ran into that guy too
Mike is the only one who stands by Harvey's side.
That head spin @5:04
Outclass
Harvey has many...but one Head Turn is Iconic when Mike went to apologise to Harvey....Man Cant forget that Iconic Turn
“What makes you think if I would leave Louis that I would ever come back to you.”
Proceeds to go back to him
Man i was on the verge of tears watching bro , the moment He stood his ground while under all that pressure...🫡
"I hate to interrupt the special moment" 🤣🤣🤣
The only time I’ve ever seen hm loosen his collar & tie
Can watch this scene 1000 times and can still get goosebumps the 1001th time
‘I never looked at you as anything at all’ zing
3:35
harvey misunderstanding "going on with you" as "wrong with you"
the acting during that attack is mind blowing, luckily I wouldn't know what its like
I stopped watching when Mike and Rachel left because I loved Harvey’s and Mike friendship and it was sad not having them together all the time! 😔
