You should check out Dr.Claire Weekes, she talks about that, about bringing “the old skeleton out of the closet and realizing it doesn’t quite scare you as much anymore”. Anxiety is a natural human emotion and there’s no way to completely rid yourself or your life of it. If anything I try to be grateful In those moments like “ah there you are old friend it’s been awhile!”

You telling us that our bodies cannot stay in this panicked state is SO helpful. When panic happens it's very hard to convince ourselves what it truly is, and that it will indeed end. It feels impossible to believe sometimes. But I thank you for including this in your talk-down. We definitely need to be reassured that these feelings WILL pass and we cannot stay in this state forever.
@@ThoughtsBecomeThingsChannel Exactly. It looks like I posted this nine months ago and unfortunately I'm back because I suffer from panic disorder. But I'm thankful to have this on my toolkit.
I just had a Level 10 panic attack in a parking lot in my car. I didn't think I was going to be able to drive home. I found this and sat and worked through it. I'm now home. Thank you for this❤
Because it's scary and even though you know what's happening, you still cannot control your body and mind. That's the worst part for me... Knowing I lost control of my own body.
@@nicholemalo1978 same, I listened to one and it said “Im in control” and my throat closed up. I’m not in control of my body when it happens and it scares me.
guys, we WILL get through this. i’m terrified right now but i have to know, and you have to know, that this sensation is normal. i feel nauseous and that’s my fear. but fear gives me this sensation and NOT illness. to anyone that feels the same as me, i understand. and if i don’t at least i can be here in writing. we will get through this. we have to.
i also have emetophobia and it fucking sucks. i can’t even be alone for extended periods of time cause i get so damn scared. we are gonna be okay, don’t forget it!!
Im paying for you, remember this will pass, you are safe, you are ok and eventually you will feel ok again and be able to feel peace, calmness, and rest. Some of the things that help me get over the panic are rubing a wet towel in the back of my neck and my forehead, clench fists, feel and all the muscles of my boddy, the reyes an relax as much as possible, concentrate in my breathing, in extremo cases tape a hot shower, the water touching my boddy distracts my mind and even fool my mind that I am not having a panic attak and I smart to feel much better, drink some cold Orange Juice or water and remember the anxiety tightens the muscles arround your ribbs so you might feel shortness of breath but you are ok, you are breathing fine and as you start to relax it will pass and you will feel blessed, calm and happy eventually
Oh my friend I'll be praying for you cause I no how you feel Lord Jesus I pray for this dear sister to be healed in name Jesus let here and myself be healed in the name above all names
Last time I used this was a year ago. Tonight I’m watching it again. I’m terrified right now. I hate going through this so much. I pray everyone finds peace from this because it’s literally one of the worst things ever. It helped me in the past to listen to this. Thank you.
Right there myself tonight. Truly one of the worst phenomena I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had dozens of panic attacks and every time is equally terrifying. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but it does help to know we aren’t alone. Hope you are getting on ok, thanks for leaving your comment for others ❤
Dissociation is terrifying, the feeling of not being in touch with all the senses and purely in terror is crippling. Indeed these feelings do pass leaving me exhausted. We will get through this together. These channels help so much.
“Here’s the thing: if it feels like you can’t catch your breath, it’s because you’ve forgotten to exhale. That’s all it is.” -so simple yet almost no one really knows this
Wow, this was so powerful to me. Reading this a light bulb 💡 literally went off in my brain. I always complain I can’t breathe, and my mom or partner will often point out well stop holding your breath!!! Now, when I feel like I can’t breathe, I’m going to remember this quote!! I wrote it on a post it, thank you.
@@kellyw.4610 Yeah, I think that happens to me. I'm not sure if it's related to this comment or not..... But I'm just Now learning about Breathing Exercises and whenever I do the practices, I feel out of breathe and Asthma. Like maybe it's going too fast or something?? Or is it just me?? 🤦♀️😓😓😓😓🤷♀️
@@yodelissosa7791 same. For some people, if you are having the kind of panic attack where you feel like you can’t breath or are having trouble, breathing exercises can make it worse because you are focusing on the thing that is causing you panic. You need to try to NOT over think the breathing haha. My therapist had me instead of breath work use other senses in that moment: get a hot bath, drink of water, nice smell, etc, and positive self talk. I think it depends on the person, but the deep breathing not helping during a panic is not uncommon! When you get to feeling better breath work can be great.
@@rebeccawillis-watkins8462 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING & FOR THE INFO.!! I tend to just distract myself when I become Anxious or when my Mental Health starts to act up (which is basical Every Day 🤦♀️😓). My number one is day dreaming. Making up stories in my head - mini movies. I also watch tv or something. Anything to distract me for a while until I can cool down. Also, what has your therapist recommended for when it happens AWAY from Home?? Like no bath, no tea, etc.?? Basically while in Public?? Just curious. I personally feel like the breathing exercises are a waste of time and I feel like an absolute idiot trying to do it (I guess I feel embarrassed 🤷♀️🤷♀️😓🤦♀️) Anyways, I think you're right. I'm too worried about the situation and thinking about the breathing exercises that I over think and end up pushing it away, I guess....?? Especially if I'm angry or upset. Like knowing Myself, When I'm upset, I'm NOT just gonna take a second and say: "Hey!! Breathing exercises..... Like when I'm too busy figuring out the situation or my current feelings...... Grrrr I guess none of this even makes sense, so sorry. Just typing up as I go. Maybe it's because I'm just starting out or maybe it's just Not for me. Like I said before, it even Feels uncomfortable. Like it triggers my Asthma even More!! 😓😓........ ....
Along with this beautiful relaxing voice talking to me, it's also the comments from everyone. Has anyone else found comfort in reading the comments as I did? What a wonderful relaxing video. Thank you
I usually don’t comment on anything. But, this is a special case. I was having a panic attack at random tonight, likely because I wasn’t feeling very good physically. You’re right, panic attacks are scary. They scare me a lot. But the way you explained that it isn’t something wrong or that I should be ashamed of made me cry. It felt like a loving family member reassuring you. Many of mine don’t understand them, so thank you for making this. It’s the only thing that’s helped in a long time. If I could I would just, give you a hug right now. Thank you. I know it’s not really directed at anyone. But it made me feel cared about. Thank you again- sorry I’m saying thank you a lot but this means everything to me.
I was exactly the same, suffering a panic attack, thought it could be something more serious but no this worked. Its such a relief your words are so what I needed, thank you thank you. Its so good I can put this on next time, before it gets too bad xxx X xxx
Little trick I've found works for me if I'm feeling a lightness in my body as though a bit faint or dizzy, if you sit or stand at a table and put both hands on the table top and push down on it, it instantly grounds you and you don't feel as emotionally or physically 'flighty'. Give it a go next time. Just keep that pressure down on your hands whilst breathing slow and deep.
@@Hangie I also put pressure on my head, like hold a pillow on top of my head, or wrap a blanket lightly around my head. May sound kinda nutty but the pressure helps ground the light headed/faint feeling.
Samee: I don’t want a new recliner or a deal on my cable I want to calm down I hate these ads the worst is when you’re in the middle of a meditation video and all the sudden it’s a man trying to sell you two recliners in a sofa
I did not even realize that what I was experiencing was a panic attack. My whole body was numb and weak and I felt like fainting and barely held on. After 2 hours it shifted to despair and I couldn't cope anymore. This saved me. Thank you. I was afraid of what I might do to myself to make it stop. I am back in body now. I feel better. I wrapped myself in weighted blanket for comfort. Sending love and healing to all in need. ❤
I actually started to cry and talk back to this sound. The crying helps catharsis and break my anxiety. (I don't cry much.) Thank you so much for this!
This saved me from going to the hospital tonight. I’ve been to the hospital at least 5 times in the past year from panic attacks. This video ground me from a “panic attack level 8/10” down to an “anxiety level 4”Thank you so very much for making this video and everything you do on here.
hi im curious what happens when you go to the hospital, what do they give you? I went to the er for heart palpitations… everything came out normal, blood and ekg. thought I was having a heart attack but it was merely an anxiety attack. I left with an inhaler lol. my physician prescribed me alprazolam but I choose to soothe naturally. hope to hear from you
@jenny-pw3lp I've been before and they always gave me Ativan. Super helpful, no side effects for me. I now have a prescription from my psychiatrist that I take as needed. I only use it maybe every other month or when flying since that's a big fear of mine. Having it on hand at home and knowing it's there if I need it, helps overall tremendously! I can't be on and don't want to be on a daily med like an SSRI so Ativan or Klonopin are fantastic. Just don't abuse them. They are addictive. So just as needed.
I am a 30 year old woman with Asperger’s syndrome. I’m easily overwhelmed, but I still try to act “normal” & be productive. Today everything felt like it was going wrong &I got so overstimulated that I had one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, no one was around and I was spiraling out of control. I just needed someone to help me out & I was stuck in fetal position crying out, but no one was around…. But With shaky hands & tearful eyes, I quickly managed to somehow find your video on TH-cam. It took the entire 20 minutes and I just wanted to let you know that you saved my life. Thank you. God bless you & Im subscribing. Thank you so much. Thank you for being there for me. I’m eternally grateful
Having a huge panic attack because of covid19...im trembling shaking nauseous dizzy But my mind keeps tellin me im sick and im gonna die But im remind myself its just a panic attack
Our mind is so powerful and can make us think we are experiencing symptoms that we fear! I just want you to know that I do this too. I am so happy to hear that you are stepping away from the fear and facing it...looking at it in the eye...and reminding yourself that its a panic attack. Wonderful!!! Sending lots of love and hugs xo
grapesyrop hi lovely, I know exactly how you’re feeling. It’s a scary time out there now, but through the darkness it’s important to fight through it and keep yourself active. Keep listening to this as it helps loads. Have you tried meditating? Big hugs
I’m the exact same, shaking and convinced I’ve caught the virus even though I’ve not left the house for 20 days. But I know that I’m prone to panic attacks, this video helped beyond words. Thank you x
Oh how much I relate to all of you! It’s been Hell & I’m as well trying to tell myself I’m okay. Such a sketchy time. This is a great video! Appreciate it!
Please, don't give up on therapy. I'm not done fighting. Please don't be done either. I know it's so hard. I have panic disorder....my heart hurts so bad right now, can barely breathe, I'm completely exhausted and I can't eat. But I refuse to let this win. I've been fighting it since I was five...I'm thirty now. We're not weak by any means. 💗🧘♀️
@@michaelmullins8866 you got this! You are in charge! You tell those thoughts to go back to the trash bin they came from. I'm rooting for you! You stay strong, because you are strong. 💪❤🤗 P.s. you can always reach out!
Woke up at 1 am and had one of the worst anxiety attacks I've had in so long and the app I normally use wasn't helping I was trembling and my eyes were filled with tears when I found your video and I clicked it and now I want to cry from how grateful I am truly thank you for making this video I will be using it in the future
This is my emergency video. My last resort. The one I just *know* will work. Let me tell you, on the worst panic attacks, when I really feel like it's different than the others, when I convinced myself there is no way out... you still manage to stop my body from shaking, somehow. It's extraordinary really.
I've had them. I call them the "this is it" moments. it's a truly terrible feeling to have being trapped in a box of feeling like you are dying. hard to put into words how bad it feels.
@@professorpenne9962had this like 2 weeks ago and i been feeling so horrible since. like itll always be like this. I know im fine and its okay but i still have that feeling and i hate it
I can’t keep it together at night. Once I am alone with my thoughts I am overwhelmed by fear. My heart begins to pound in my chest and my body becomes frozen, not cold but frozen. I cannot sleep. If I could sleep I would have an escape from the fear but it feels impossible to rest. My thought are focused on my daughter. What would happen to her if I died. Who would care for her. There is no one. The constant sounds of sirens as they head in the direction of the ER with another helpless Covid patient induce my fears. As I type this, the sounds of sirens scream from the street below. They are so loud that shutting the windows do not help. I don’t know how to block it. Please forgive my long rambling, but the writing seems to calm me. Please stay safe and thank you for your video. It helped stop my crying. 🌸
I feel like this from time to time, and ived used different ways to cope. How have you been feeling, a month from when you wrote this comment? I hope better.
That’s my panic too always about my daughter if I die who will care for her and she and I are so close what would happen to her!!! I have constant anxiety due to this!
I swear I could listen to this woman read the dictionary and it would lower my blood pressure. I don't get panic attacks, but this is so incredibly relaxing.
I totally agree with you. My motherly friend Joanne has helped me through a lot of personal problems over the years like worrying & even depression. Her voice is that nurturing. I'm glad she helps you too 😊👍
Tk u so much. After weeks of being well all of a sudden anxiety comes back strong listening to your affirmations made me feel better God is using you bless u tku
Im glad this helped you. My Mom voice is the perfect remedy for any bad situation. Im glad you came here in your time of need. If you ever feel anxious, don't hesitate to reach out and I'll make sure Joanne knows you visited here. God bless you 💫
I was laying here shaking so badly shivering but sweating heart rate up above 130 but this really helped calm me down, sometimes i feel so alone or that my suffering isn’t as bad as anyone else so I shouldn’t be dramatic about it.
I listened to this 3 years ago when my panic started getting really bad. It helped me a lot. now 3 years later Im back and its the worse feeling ever. I'm trying to tell myself that I overcame it once and I can do it again. Whoever sees this there is hope for you ❤
Same with a teams meeting.. the teacher telling the class they HAVE to be done with the assignment by the end of class and I’m just over here shaking not even able to see my computer:/ not a great combo
Tell them. You're actually lucky when you think about it. You got people to talk to. But whereas me I get them at night and there's no one to talk to. You can tell your teacher what's up, they'll understand.
@@retrothecake buddy i know your situation is horrible but i was in a zoom meeting with my class mates who already have bren bullying me for years and yeah no i couldn't just tell them
Sometimes i get really intense palpitations, then my mind starts to race and I feel an attack coming on. This video was so brilliant, you were soft and gentle. Really relaxing. So relaxing I actually fell asleep during the video and got a full nights rest. Thank you so much ♡
Sweet bunnyraid🙂 Same here , I always have heart palpitations it's really scary😪 and I find my mind starts to race think something bad will happen and I feel numb like I can't get a breath & start to have panic attack I happens mostly at night that last few nights this has happened again 😥Joanne,s beautiful videos like this one is really the only thing that really helps me calm down its soooo comforting to know We can just come here to Relax for while 🥰😇when we feel alone scared having panic attacks , and to help with sleep it's just such a beautiful relaxing soft loving safe caring place to come to ,Joanne is Such a lovely gentle little sweet Blesseing to Us All🙂💕 So Greatful and appreciate her!🙏🥲 My Sweetest Blesseings Sunshine Rainbowy Twinkleing Shineing love & Light to you Lovely bunnyraid , Be well & your not alone. you are Amazing 🤗💜🦄🌺xo
It is amazing to see its common and im not alone. Im dealing with this for the first time in the last week so glad to know i can come here to deal with it. God bless you all
I'm having this exact panick attack right now. It's so overwhelming and terrifying like you are going to explode. Needed to read this so I know it's not just me
I’ve been having extreme panic attacks about death and not knowing what’s going to happen when we die that have recently just started and I found this while having one just now and it really helped me. Thank you so much.
Katelyn you’re not alone. I’m the same exactly. I just try to ride out the wave. My attacks come in waves, feels like it’s all day most days, but I just let them land and breathe. Hugs to you
I know this is a late reply but I experience the same thing. I try to relieve it by either taking walks, talking to someone, or even turning it into adrenaline to calm down as if I was doing a workout the whole time. Other than that I am glad to know I am not alone in this. Sending big virtual hugs
This happens to me. Every one on my father's side was hyperchondriac and terrified of death and I inherited it. It was bad as a kid, then got better from my teens into adulthood. Now that people I love have died and I'm older its begun to get worse again.
Please don’t take this the wrong way but listening to this, I feel like I’m in my mother’s arms being comforted. That’s not possible in real life but this video is the next best thing. Thank you for this.
Sweet Sunvio❤ I'm sending lots of cuddley hugs and love your way🥲🤗🤗💕 I Really loved your Beautiful comment it made me cry sooo much😥 and really love to send you comforting healing hugs and kind words We all Need to be comforted & loved 🤗❤ Joanne,s videos here are sooo comforting Nurtring to all here and it's soo soothing for All Our beautiful little souls and Snuggley too Love listening to Joannes videos 🥰🤗 Sending much love cuddley vibes Sunvio!💗 Bless you🙏💜🇦🇺🦋
i am currently having a very scary panic attack. i have been having these for a couple months now and never have before in my life. it’s the scariest feeling. i have been to the er multiple times due to these panic attacks. i feel one coming and i freak myself out so bad. my head gets heavy and my heart starts to pound like crazy. the shaking becomes uncontrollable. I found this video a week ago and i watch it everytime i feel one coming on and it works everytime. it makes me feel not so alone. i couldn’t thank you enough for making this video. i’m still anxious but im not shaking like i was. the comments definitely helped as well. thank you again.
Was starting to feel derealization and then I started to get anxious this made me come back to reality and calm down before anything got out of control
This video, is my rescue. I suffer from nocturnal panic attacks/sudden awakenings- and this video calms me so well it’s like she’s right there walking through it with me. Beyond grateful, sobbing with gratitude
I’ve never heard anyone else talk of these types of attacks but they are terrifying! Waking up unable to catch my breath and then my thoughts spiraling takes me there every time . Sending you love and calmness ❤
This too shall pass. I love everybody who sees this and wish you the absolute best! I’m struggling with my panic attacks but it’s nice to read so many comments to know that it’s normal to feel these feelings. The hard part is convincing yourself that it is okay and these feelings will move on. Again. Peace, Love Positivity to everybody struggling ❤
Having a really big one rn. Been playing this on repeat thank you as always Joanne. It’s been really hard you guys always freaking out that I’m gonna be sick and overthinking every little thing happening in my body, but knowing that it pass always helps. I just hate these feelings and want them to go. I just wanna cry. But I always read the comments and knowing that I’m not alone always helps me out when times get tough. Truly you guys have been there through the 3am panic attacks, the overthinking, the sleepless nights and have all helped me through it. I thank you all for everything, idk how I will be tonight sleeping but I’m happy knowing that I can be safe here. Thank you for everything you guys ❤️✨🫶🏻
Same! I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to sickness/germs as well. When I get anxiety I feel like I'm gonna be sick, I have to go to the bathroom, racing heart, can't breathe, etc. which only further increases my anxiety. It's so relieving when I find someone going through the same kind of anxiety, that I'm not alone in it. So thank you for sharing your experience, as it brings me great comfort in a sense. ❤ hope you're feeling better
@@TheWorldisALie007better try normal cold water, its okay to wash your face and just relax with normal cold water and be at ease, calm and relax , calm and relaxed
I know exactly how u feel...I've gotten to the point where I won't even take meds that have any sort of caffeine,no energy drinks ,coffee nothing that I think would make my heart race cuz I'm scared it will trigger a panic attacks. I'm so tired of feeling this way. 😢
@@mscarmencitaMif you have O type blood, you naturally have more adrenaline and cortisol so caffeine is like a rocket exploding in your body. I can't give up sugar, I've cut down. It comforts me but I think sugar aggravates anxiety, do you have anxiety from sugar too? I was on valium for ten years and had to come off it. This video works but I'm still having icy burning in my chest and arms.😢 Her voice is so lovely. If I'd had a mother like her, I wouldn't be such an emotional wreck!💜🧡💚
Attacks happen at work frequently and I get so dizzy that my body goes numb. Thank you so much for this FANTASTIC MENTAL HEALTH TOOL! You are LITERALLY a life saver.
Usually when I get a panic attack, I try so many tactics - mindfulness/meditation, deep breathing, etc. but sometimes I get so overwhelmed I cannot talk to myself rationally. Thank you so much for this video. Having a calm voice talk me down actually put my mind at ease.
I've been suffering from pretty bad anxiety attacks for most of my adult life, but especially for the last year, or so. This is my go-to when I feel one coming on. It helps a lot, but it's usually when I look at the comments that I feel the panic greatly subside and I start bawling. It helps a lot to know I'm not alone in experiencing this kind of thing. The comments of a stranger on the internet might not mean a lot to everybody, but to my surprise, they mean quite a lot to me. If it's anything to you, at all, know that you are going to be okay again, and that I'm really, genuinely rooting for you.
It helps to know you're not going through this alone especially when your family is not supportive to you when you're going through this like how mine isn't.
My attacks last for a few hours. The next day I feel like a crazy person for how I felt the night before. My arms are tingly. My chest feels tight. I can’t focus on anything other than what I’m feeling. But I’m okay. You’re okay too. I’m sharing this so you know others feel this way too. Deep breaths. Listen to the nice lady.
Im so glad my Mom voice helped you through that crazy situation. I heard about it on the news and im glad you are ok. I know it was scary kinda like this virus thing. But you know the good thing, just like the earthquake passed, this virus will pass too. Hang in there and stay strong. Thanks for visiting Joanne channel 😊👍💫
Thank you I needed this my chest felt tight and I was freaking out but i feel calmer now thank you. I was diagnosed with Covid-19 on my birthday (April 2) and I’m still recovering but I’m fine right now. I’m 18 years old.
God the past month now I’ve been getting the worst anxiety attacks, I’m so glad I just now found this video, makes me feel so much better because I don’t feel alone hearing the talking, we are not alone yall ❤️
I’m having one rn and it’s been like 2 hours, I can’t sleep. It’s not easy but we’ll get through this. God’s got us🙏🏽 WE’RE stronger than our anxiety❤️
@@NotJaniyaa yea I am, I now know that anytime I feel like I’m “dying”, it’s a panic attack and I fight it… haven’t had one in a long while🙏🏽 Thanks for asking, hope you’re ok✨
I’m having a panic attack at random, I think my headache triggered it, I’ve got a weird headache and whenever I experience something which I haven’t much before I get consumed with anxiety thinking I’m gonna die😔 I’m trying to believe your words, but my mind is telling me my thoughts are right, it’s scary I hate emotions
Same girl I’ve had them for years but still can’t help but think it. Also I experience new panic attack symptoms all the time which really freaks me out more and I just can’t cope. I used to have clusters and multiple attacks a day with medication after experimenting with different Medication after years because some work for a little bit and some just doesn’t work I finally gotten them in control more but I still have them just not multiple ones every day that terrified me and I never wanted to get out of bed
having a lot of panic attacks lately because of covid 19 because my allergies are acting up and i swear i have the virus , i’m currently in the middle of watching this is helping me a lot right now because they get really really serve i get shaky, heart drops and i feel like i’m dying even though i’m not , my palms get sweaty and start to feel hot sometimes nauseous and dizzy and i feel like i’m the only one who deals with the exact symptoms everyday and seeing these comments made me feel 100x better because it reassures me that people are feeling the exact same thing as me right now and i didn’t even know .. this helped a lot thank you so much !!!
Right there with you friend. The shortness of breath and lack of smell I get from allergies has me absolutely terrified during this allergy season. Throw in a pretty serious bout of health anxiety and this has been absolutely terrifying.
I'm going through this I even ended up in hospital with a temperature but it ended up just being a chest infection but I genuinely thought I was going to die x
You're not alone .. I'm having the same type of reactions with my body in general .. Keep faith, this is all in our minds and it shall pass. Just keep breathing and ground yourself. God bless and feel better ..
Omg your not alone...this happens to me everyday and I always tell myself I have covid 19 and then I feel like a cant breathe because of my panic attack and then I feel like I have it just because I cant catch my breath because of my panic attack.
Found this video again after 2.5 years and am smiling right now. If this helps anyone, I used to put this video on 2.5 years ago when I was having 10ish severe panic attacks a day, when I couldnt leave the house or even the bed. I currently came looking for it, to download to my phone in case, as Im getting on a plane to go on holiday in 2 days and getting nervous. - This moment helped me look back and see how far i've come, even though 2 years ago I never thought I'd get remotely better. And it's funny how I used to listen to this to feel safe in my own bed, and now Im downloading it to feel safe on a plane !!!! Things ALWAYS get better. It can take years, and baby steps and a lot of courage, but things always always get better.
All I can say is thank you, this video is my go to. For everyone out there who is scared during this difficult time you are not alone. It will get better. Better days, hours, minutes, and seconds are to come. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We got this !!!
I suffer from severe anxiety. I'm out of my medication, this video helped me during two pretty bad attacks. It's been a very long time since I've had to work through an anxiety attack without the help of medication. Thank you for this video.
my panic attacks are getting so much worse and i need a therapist so bad. i’m shaking right now, in fact. it’s always worse every single panic attack. i’m too scared to talk to someone. this helped. thank you.
epxphany hey, just wanted to say that I’m in the same position as you feeling overwhelmed by panic attacks and feeling like I need a therapist so badly but don’t have access to one. It can be so scary feeling like you need help but not being able to get it. I just wanted to let you know that you got this and you are supported even when you feel alone. I hope you’re doing okay :)
Thank you! Those of us that suffer from health anxiety feel like this is a special personal hell and it's so scary because so many panic attack symptoms mimic those of what they say are covid19 symptoms. Shortness of breath? Yep. Dizziness? Yep. It suuuuucks but this helped me so much. Thank you!
What an incredible gift you've given all of us. I've had C-PTSD and bad anxiety since I was a kid. I'm 30 now, and it still gets me just like it did in the past, sometimes worse. Most people don't understand the depths of my anxiety, and even if they do, I tend to isolate myself when I'm anxious as I don't know how to express it to or in front of others. This is like the mother I wish I had. The comfort of this reassurance is like a warm hug. The way she acknowledges these feelings exist but that they aren't facts is so helpful. This is the first time I've found this but I've saved it for quick reference. Thank you for this❤
These are so helpful to me. I thank everyone who makes these. I am 14 and i have many many panic attacks. I have very bad anxiety and this has affected me since I was 7. I tell my parents how i feel and they yell at me. They tell me i am overthinking and never understand me. The best feeling is having someone who understands. You can never really understand how much this affects your life. It is so hard and there is nothing I can do about it. Sorry for this paragraph Ive just really been struggling lately. Thank you for this video.
Proud of you. I remember when I was back in your shoes 6 years ago. I can't say life gets easier, but it DOES get better and happier. You're gonna be okay, and again you're doing great, just keep being you and trying your best.
I was having a bad attack today and couldn’t get ahold of my fiancé at work, which is the only thing that helps me when I’m panicking. This is the only video I have ever found that actually helped me...So specific it made me feel like you understand every aspect of an attack. Thank you so much
I am so grateful I found this last night. I’m getting teary just typing this. Panic attacks are so scary in the moment and all my usual logic and coping strategies were completely useless. Your video gave me the comforting, rational words I desperately needed to hear. Thank you.
I now listen to this the moment I sart to feel the anxiety that comes before a panic attack. 4 minutes in and I feel way better. Thank you for making this video!! Bless you!
I had anxiety attacks ten years ago and then I dealt with them and they went away for the most part for all this time and now 2 weeks ago they came back and it fuckin sucks. It’s hard to breath I sweat my heart races and it’s hard to come back to reality. This video is the best thing in the world and the woman literally sounds like an angel and it’s the most comforting thing to hear during one of these episodes. Thank you so much and keep being a beautiful angel.
Been having a few panic attacks lately with everything that’s goin on at the moment and this video has helped calm me down every time so helpful thank you 🙂
I’m 3 months pregnant and I’ve been severely depressed and anxious. Thank you for this. It helped me calm down from a panic attack. I know this isn’t healthy for my baby and I hope I can stay calm the rest of the pregnancy. I’ve listened to podcasts, I’ve talked to my dr, talked in church. Nothing has helped. This did calm me but idk for how long, but I’m glad I have this to go back too.
It's by far one of the worst experiences, 😪 😕 I'm seeing a therapist, also gonna do you tube video on my experiences with covid and panic attacks, hoping it will help someone out there also 🙏 😢 love to all, don't give up,
This video has really helped me in the past, I was driving and feeling all dizzy and anxious and played this in the whole journey home and I can’t thank you enough. I’m currently led in bed trying not to spiral into another panic attack, currently feeling pressure in my head/eyes, dizziness, tight chest.. can’t focus or read properly but I’m listening to this video whilst typing my comment. Reading through the comments has helped me a little. It really does suck we go through this and I wish you all the best with overcoming this awful situation we find ourselves in sometimes.
I was having a serve panic attack in the middle of the night, whist i was home alone, when I stumbled across this video. I felt instantly more relaxed within the first few minutes as the words are so reassuring and calming. They reminded me that I’m safe and what I was feeling will pass. It turned a horrible and scary situation into a one of calm and peace. The breathing and grounding techniques were brilliant. I can’t thank you enough for uploading this video and helping me easily get through a panic attack.
I have to extend my gratitude to everyone in the comments as well. I used to think I was ridiculous for feeling like I was dying- I have to stop myself from calling EMS, I try to panic call my family and loved ones to tell them I love them. I dont want to die and I get so desperate not to- even though that's not what's happening. Now I see that I'm not alone and it's quite a common symptom of panic attacks. It's true that the entire time I'm telling myself that I'm fine and I know rationally I'm fine- but sometimes it just takes some extra help. I am listening to this and breathing deep and trying to ride it out, I appreciate this video a lot.
I can definitely identify with this. I've called EMS several times, ( I believe they have me listed as having anxiety bcuz the techs Always ask me that) And the late night "I Love U, this could be Goodbye" calls OMG! I found this video early in the pandemic and I'm soooo Grateful that I did! Joanne has calmed me down countless times. Like today... that's why I'm here in the comments 😁
@@mariannemason7700I wondered if they take notes because the last time I called almost 2 weeks ago the lady was really annoying she asked for my address 3 times then I think she purposely hung up on me. I told her I thought I was having a panic attack and she asked if that's what it was and I said I didn't know because my step dad was burning weeds out back and there was so much smoke in the house it was triggering me. Then the fire department always shows up even when I ask for medical it makes no sense. One time I asked to go to the hospital and they had to call for an ambulance.
I had my first panic attack last night. I was alone and it was an absolutely terrifying experience. Your video helped me so much. Your words are so reassuring and you carried me through it ❤️ I can’t thank you enough for putting this out.
I have delt with my anxiety for YEARS AND YEARS since I was little and could never find a proper way to calm myself without making things worse or just trying to ignore my emotions! This literally did the trick…I don’t know what or why lol but this will be my main go to, to calm back down from my anxiety attacks! Thank you wonderful human being❤️
Even reading the subtitles of this video is enough. I found myself in a club feeling overwhelmed and heading to the smoking area and feeling desperate for something to calm me, well as it turns out, just having the chance to read the subtitles of this video was enough to bring me back round through my attack. I praise you. Thank you. ❤
Hey i pray your panic attack goes away 🙏🌺 You are safe & this channel along with Joanne nurturing presence will keep you safe. Sending good vibes your way. You got this
I’ve been here 4 or 5 times this April. I’m really struggling with my health anxiety and tachycardia. It’s so unsettling. Thank you for this video it truly has helped me to overcome some of my panic attacks
I'm also struggling with tachycardia and health anxiety panic attacks daily. This is a favorite video of mine. Has helped keep me out of the emergency room a few times.
Same here! I always come watch this video as I wait for my beta blocker to kick in... sounds like you guys could use a beta blocker for that tachycardia too..
I didn't eat anything today, then I had three Shandy's (lager and lemonade) after work and it didn't do me any favours. I've felt myself get more and more panicked and I've taken myself to bed to listen to this. It's so strange how a funny/strange sensation in your body can trigger your mind into making you feel more physical symptoms of feeling unwell and anxious. I should have known I'd feel like this, I've been a sufferer for years of anxiety and over worrying. Your videos have really helped me help myself through it. Thank you.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a level 10 panic attack. I truly convinced myself I was dying and that my body was shutting down. Your words really calmed me down. "If you can talk, you're getting anything breath." Thank you ❤
This video has really changed my life and helped me realize that the panic attacks are not going to last forever... that physically my body will be able to work it's way free of the anxiety. Thank you so much for this video.
Am traveling for work right now across the world and I'm currently alone. I was having such severe anxiety and was terrified. Listening to this was incredibly helpful and allowed me to calm down for the first time since being here. Thank you so much.
i was having a panic attack while with a friends family four hours away from where i live. the methods i usually use weren’t helping so i found this and i cannot thank you enough for what you do 🙏🏼 ❤️
I hope this video stays up forever. It is the only one I rely on, it helps me so much. It saves me. I'm so thankful for this. Thank you for making this and making my day to days possible without going into full fledge panic.
I had a small panic attack many years ago but then all of a sudden I out of nowhere at night and it was horrible. Once I found out about this video I emidetly felt better within the first few minutes of listening, I'm glad I found this video.
I cannot thank you enough, Joanne, for this video and this talk down. I struggle with severe panic attacks and found out last September that I was pregnant and could no longer take my anxiety medication. I come back to this video every time I’m feeling anxious and without fail it calms me down. Truly magical and I am beyond thankful for you ❤️
You seriously saved me. I was having migraine with aura (blurred vision) and thought I was having a stroke because of it. Laid down and found this and drifted off to nap, woke up feeling much better. Thought I was going to pass out from the panic.
I have been having panic attacks for a few years. Everytime I feel somethings up, I listen to this. This video has always worked for me. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this video.❤
28 year old male, suffering with a trigger and traumatic anxiety attack from overwhelming stresses of work and other issues and need reassurance. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when I was 22 and it answers a lot of questions. I seek therapy and medication but always refer to calming affirmations and any other advice or support that is available. I'd just like to say thank you to people like yourself that give support and help with this crippling illness. It connects people and makes you feel like you are not alone and just so grateful for the help.
I (like many others) have been going through extreme anxiety over the past few months. The panic attacks were unbearable and medication made them 10x worse. Listening to your video has helped me through every single one. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! You should make a video to help people with anxiety/racing mind get to sleep.
This is so calm, I needed this soooo bad right now. I wouldn’t wish this disorder on my worst enemy. Thank you so much for reminding us we are okay. My body is exhausted from fighting. Feels terrible. This is a safe environment.
I am 22 years old and never had a panic attack before. I worked back to back 12 hour shifts with minimal sleep and I must’ve been so exhausted I started to panic after work. This video really helped. Thank you.
the adrenalin when having a bad attack makes the overwhelming sense of doom so much worse. makes it feel like you aren't sure if you are having a heart attack or can even breathe. videos like this help a LOT.
Whoever you are, you’re going to be okay. I promise. This too shall pass very soon.
Abbiedesu thank you
Lovely.
Thank you.
Just what I needed to hear right now.
Thank you
Thank you
that is exactly what i needed, thank you sm
the worst feeling is breaking your longest record of being anxiety free. needed extra help tonight. thank you
Yeah. Relate to this a lot.
I felt that deeply…
Feeling this right now
You should check out Dr.Claire Weekes, she talks about that, about bringing “the old skeleton out of the closet and realizing it doesn’t quite scare you as much anymore”. Anxiety is a natural human emotion and there’s no way to completely rid yourself or your life of it. If anything I try to be grateful In those moments like “ah there you are old friend it’s been awhile!”
@@kevinthornton6525 Thank you Kevin. I will check her out!
Please never take this down. This has helped me during every panic attack I've had since finding this video. Thank you so much for making it.
I don't plan on it :) You can also download it to your phone so you can save it and always be able to use it even without wifi! Here is the link:www.relaxforawhile.com/product-page/panic-attack-talk-down
Me too. Much needed tonight 🙏
Ditto. It’s getting to the point where just seeing the flowers calms me down because I associate this video with relief.
Me too. It’s my first go-to.
@@relaxforawhile22:01
You telling us that our bodies cannot stay in this panicked state is SO helpful. When panic happens it's very hard to convince ourselves what it truly is, and that it will indeed end. It feels impossible to believe sometimes. But I thank you for including this in your talk-down. We definitely need to be reassured that these feelings WILL pass and we cannot stay in this state forever.
@@ThoughtsBecomeThingsChannel Exactly. It looks like I posted this nine months ago and unfortunately I'm back because I suffer from panic disorder. But I'm thankful to have this on my toolkit.
Yes, I agree with this I’m a US Marine veteran very thought heavy and I can’t understand the concept unless it’s repeated to me…
@@Marinemva thanks for your service Michael
Oh, you absolutely CAN stay in a panicked state. I've been like this for 42 years. It never eases.
I just had a Level 10 panic attack in a parking lot in my car. I didn't think I was going to be able to drive home. I found this and sat and worked through it. I'm now home. Thank you for this❤
Been thru a few of those untill I developed agoraphobia
Praise God you made it home
@@ifranksultanagoraphobia is crazy currently dealing with this really bad any tips?
Why do I cry everytime I hear "you are ok, you are not in danger"... I can't help it... I just cry...
Because it's scary and even though you know what's happening, you still cannot control your body and mind. That's the worst part for me... Knowing I lost control of my own body.
I think it's a cry of relief to hear those reassuring words
ME TOO
@@nicholemalo1978 same, I listened to one and it said “Im in control” and my throat closed up. I’m not in control of my body when it happens and it scares me.
Wtf?
guys, we WILL get through this. i’m terrified right now but i have to know, and you have to know, that this sensation is normal. i feel nauseous and that’s my fear. but fear gives me this sensation and NOT illness. to anyone that feels the same as me, i understand. and if i don’t at least i can be here in writing. we will get through this. we have to.
I'm having one right now . I just want to give up
@@lillya6980 don’t give up we all care about you you are loved 👍
i also have emetophobia and it fucking sucks. i can’t even be alone for extended periods of time cause i get so damn scared. we are gonna be okay, don’t forget it!!
@@yassified7913 i completely understand that, it’s so awful but i hope you’re managing ok you’re definitely not alone x
i’m the same way!! thank u for the kind words same to you love
I’m so terrified right now. Please someone pray for me
You're going to be ok sweetheart, just trust me ok? I believe in you, we can get through this together and will, you're not alone 💗
🤗
Are you feeling better?
Im paying for you, remember this will pass, you are safe, you are ok and eventually you will feel ok again and be able to feel peace, calmness, and rest. Some of the things that help me get over the panic are rubing a wet towel in the back of my neck and my forehead, clench fists, feel and all the muscles of my boddy, the reyes an relax as much as possible, concentrate in my breathing, in extremo cases tape a hot shower, the water touching my boddy distracts my mind and even fool my mind that I am not having a panic attak and I smart to feel much better, drink some cold Orange Juice or water and remember the anxiety tightens the muscles arround your ribbs so you might feel shortness of breath but you are ok, you are breathing fine and as you start to relax it will pass and you will feel blessed, calm and happy eventually
Oh my friend I'll be praying for you cause I no how you feel Lord Jesus I pray for this dear sister to be healed in name Jesus let here and myself be healed in the name above all names
Last time I used this was a year ago. Tonight I’m watching it again. I’m terrified right now. I hate going through this so much. I pray everyone finds peace from this because it’s literally one of the worst things ever. It helped me in the past to listen to this. Thank you.
❤We will be okay🙏🏾
Right there myself tonight. Truly one of the worst phenomena I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had dozens of panic attacks and every time is equally terrifying. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but it does help to know we aren’t alone. Hope you are getting on ok, thanks for leaving your comment for others ❤
@@lilyhempt1144Thank you. It’s really hard when doctors leave people hanging. Please say a prayer for me, thank you. Best wishes.❤
@@Aaaykaay My prayers are with you, I hear you! You are going to get through this, no matter what you are facing right now: it’s going to be ok. ❤️
❤
Dissociation is terrifying, the feeling of not being in touch with all the senses and purely in terror is crippling. Indeed these feelings do pass leaving me exhausted. We will get through this together. These channels help so much.
How long did it take?
This is so true. One of the worst symptoms with panic attacks. Truly convinces yourself youre dying or in danger.
“Here’s the thing: if it feels like you can’t catch your breath, it’s because you’ve forgotten to exhale. That’s all it is.”
-so simple yet almost no one really knows this
good point ,however some people have other symptoms that need more than deep breathing
Wow, this was so powerful to me. Reading this a light bulb 💡 literally went off in my brain. I always complain I can’t breathe, and my mom or partner will often point out well stop holding your breath!!! Now, when I feel like I can’t breathe, I’m going to remember this quote!! I wrote it on a post it, thank you.
@@kellyw.4610 Yeah, I think that happens to me. I'm not sure if it's related to this comment or not..... But I'm just Now learning about Breathing Exercises and whenever I do the practices, I feel out of breathe and Asthma. Like maybe it's going too fast or something?? Or is it just me?? 🤦♀️😓😓😓😓🤷♀️
@@yodelissosa7791 same. For some people, if you are having the kind of panic attack where you feel like you can’t breath or are having trouble, breathing exercises can make it worse because you are focusing on the thing that is causing you panic. You need to try to NOT over think the breathing haha. My therapist had me instead of breath work use other senses in that moment: get a hot bath, drink of water, nice smell, etc, and positive self talk. I think it depends on the person, but the deep breathing not helping during a panic is not uncommon! When you get to feeling better breath work can be great.
@@rebeccawillis-watkins8462 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING & FOR THE INFO.!!
I tend to just distract myself when I become Anxious or when my Mental Health starts to act up (which is basical Every Day 🤦♀️😓). My number one is day dreaming. Making up stories in my head - mini movies. I also watch tv or something. Anything to distract me for a while until I can cool down.
Also, what has your therapist recommended for when it happens AWAY from Home?? Like no bath, no tea, etc.?? Basically while in Public?? Just curious.
I personally feel like the breathing exercises are a waste of time and I feel like an absolute idiot trying to do it (I guess I feel embarrassed 🤷♀️🤷♀️😓🤦♀️) Anyways, I think you're right. I'm too worried about the situation and thinking about the breathing exercises that I over think and end up pushing it away, I guess....?? Especially if I'm angry or upset. Like knowing Myself, When I'm upset, I'm NOT just gonna take a second and say: "Hey!! Breathing exercises..... Like when I'm too busy figuring out the situation or my current feelings...... Grrrr
I guess none of this even makes sense, so sorry. Just typing up as I go. Maybe it's because I'm just starting out or maybe it's just Not for me. Like I said before, it even Feels uncomfortable. Like it triggers my Asthma even More!! 😓😓........
....
Along with this beautiful relaxing voice talking to me, it's also the comments from everyone. Has anyone else found comfort in reading the comments as I did? What a wonderful relaxing video. Thank you
yes the comments help me a lot!
yes!
Yes. The comments I read help just as much as the video itself. It is SO good knowing I am not alone, even in my room right now.
Yeah once I calmed down enough to function it definitely was nice to read the comment
They've helped me too . Although I'm very sad . It's good to know and I'm not alone .
I usually don’t comment on anything. But, this is a special case.
I was having a panic attack at random tonight, likely because I wasn’t feeling very good physically. You’re right, panic attacks are scary. They scare me a lot.
But the way you explained that it isn’t something wrong or that I should be ashamed of made me cry. It felt like a loving family member reassuring you. Many of mine don’t understand them, so thank you for making this.
It’s the only thing that’s helped in a long time. If I could I would just, give you a hug right now. Thank you.
I know it’s not really directed at anyone. But it made me feel cared about. Thank you again- sorry I’m saying thank you a lot but this means everything to me.
you never have to apologize for offering gratitude :) I am so happy you were able to find comfort in this!! Be well xx
It gives me faith in humanity.
same
I was exactly the same, suffering a panic attack, thought it could be something more serious but no this worked. Its such a relief your words are so what I needed, thank you thank you. Its so good I can put this on next time, before it gets too bad xxx X xxx
I just started feeling so shaky and nauseous and lightheaded. I’m laying in bed now and listening to you. Thank you
Do you drink coffee if you don't mind me asking? Only reason is cause I felt exactly like that from coffee
Me too.
Little trick I've found works for me if I'm feeling a lightness in my body as though a bit faint or dizzy, if you sit or stand at a table and put both hands on the table top and push down on it, it instantly grounds you and you don't feel as emotionally or physically 'flighty'. Give it a go next time. Just keep that pressure down on your hands whilst breathing slow and deep.
@@Hangie I also put pressure on my head, like hold a pillow on top of my head, or wrap a blanket lightly around my head. May sound kinda nutty but the pressure helps ground the light headed/faint feeling.
What if you are not at home? In a field with nothing to hold onto? @@Hangie
Just went through the worst panic attack of my life. Had many but this one felt like actual death was upon me. Thanks for the help

TH-cam: okay, but first, watch these two ads, BUY STUFF!!!
My thoughts exactly! Lol
I was crying but your comment made me laugh! Thank you! ❤
Samee: I don’t want a new recliner or a deal on my cable I want to calm down I hate these ads the worst is when you’re in the middle of a meditation video and all the sudden it’s a man trying to sell you two recliners in a sofa
Hahaha yes everytime!!! 😭 😂
just download 'AdBlock' extension and the ads will be suppressed ; it's free and easy to install
I did not even realize that what I was experiencing was a panic attack. My whole body was numb and weak and I felt like fainting and barely held on. After 2 hours it shifted to despair and I couldn't cope anymore. This saved me. Thank you. I was afraid of what I might do to myself to make it stop.
I am back in body now. I feel better. I wrapped myself in weighted blanket for comfort.
Sending love and healing to all in need. ❤
I actually started to cry and talk back to this sound. The crying helps catharsis and break my anxiety. (I don't cry much.) Thank you so much for this!
Same. Crying even briefly is cathartic to me.
@@sammavacaist I have to cry to make it pass and to get any relief.
Me too oh my god-
yess crying does help lol literally have no other choice so freaked out and over it all lolol
I find it hard to cry with my anxiety
This saved me from going to the hospital tonight. I’ve been to the hospital at least 5 times in the past year from panic attacks. This video ground me from a “panic attack level 8/10” down to an “anxiety level 4”Thank you so very much for making this video and everything you do on here.
Omg I’m fighting going to the hospital right now. This is always my to go video it brings me to tears. I’m just so tired of going through this
What happens when you go to the hospital? What do they do for you ?
hi im curious what happens when you go to the hospital, what do they give you? I went to the er for heart palpitations… everything came out normal, blood and ekg. thought I was having a heart attack but it was merely an anxiety attack. I left with an inhaler lol. my physician prescribed me alprazolam but I choose to soothe naturally. hope to hear from you
@@santanah2735you and me both friend. It's so hard but we will get through this ❤
@jenny-pw3lp I've been before and they always gave me Ativan. Super helpful, no side effects for me. I now have a prescription from my psychiatrist that I take as needed. I only use it maybe every other month or when flying since that's a big fear of mine. Having it on hand at home and knowing it's there if I need it, helps overall tremendously! I can't be on and don't want to be on a daily med like an SSRI so Ativan or Klonopin are fantastic. Just don't abuse them. They are addictive. So just as needed.
I am a 30 year old woman with Asperger’s syndrome. I’m easily overwhelmed, but I still try to act “normal” & be productive.
Today everything felt like it was going wrong &I got so overstimulated that I had one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, no one was around and I was spiraling out of control.
I just needed someone to help me out & I was stuck in fetal position crying out, but no one was around….
But With shaky hands & tearful eyes, I quickly managed to somehow find your video on TH-cam. It took the entire 20 minutes and I just wanted to let you know that you saved my life. Thank you. God bless you & Im subscribing. Thank you so much.
Thank you for being there for me. I’m eternally grateful
Having a huge panic attack because of covid19...im trembling shaking nauseous dizzy
But my mind keeps tellin me im sick and im gonna die
But im remind myself its just a panic attack
Our mind is so powerful and can make us think we are experiencing symptoms that we fear! I just want you to know that I do this too. I am so happy to hear that you are stepping away from the fear and facing it...looking at it in the eye...and reminding yourself that its a panic attack. Wonderful!!! Sending lots of love and hugs xo
Same here
grapesyrop hi lovely, I know exactly how you’re feeling. It’s a scary time out there now, but through the darkness it’s important to fight through it and keep yourself active. Keep listening to this as it helps loads. Have you tried meditating? Big hugs
I’m the exact same, shaking and convinced I’ve caught the virus even though I’ve not left the house for 20 days. But I know that I’m prone to panic attacks, this video helped beyond words. Thank you x
Oh how much I relate to all of you! It’s been Hell & I’m as well trying to tell myself I’m okay. Such a sketchy time. This is a great video! Appreciate it!

You're not alone.
This is my emergency video. My last resort. The one I just *know* will work. Let me tell you, on the worst panic attacks, when I really feel like it's different than the others, when I convinced myself there is no way out... you still manage to stop my body from shaking, somehow. It's extraordinary really.
Same. Unfortunately here rn 😢. I love you and hope you are well
@Michael C. Snatch It will fade away, you'll see. I love you, keep breathing ❤️
This is the only video that helps me from the severe ones escalating.
I've had them. I call them the "this is it" moments. it's a truly terrible feeling to have being trapped in a box of feeling like you are dying. hard to put into words how bad it feels.
@@professorpenne9962had this like 2 weeks ago and i been feeling so horrible since. like itll always be like this. I know im fine and its okay but i still have that feeling and i hate it
I can’t keep it together at night. Once I am alone with my thoughts I am overwhelmed by fear. My heart begins to pound in my chest and my body becomes frozen, not cold but frozen. I cannot sleep. If I could sleep I would have an escape from the fear but it feels impossible to rest. My thought are focused on my daughter. What would happen to her if I died. Who would care for her. There is no one. The constant sounds of sirens as they head in the direction of the ER with another helpless Covid patient induce my fears. As I type this, the sounds of sirens scream from the street below. They are so loud that shutting the windows do not help. I don’t know how to block it. Please forgive my long rambling, but the writing seems to calm me. Please stay safe and thank you for your video. It helped stop my crying. 🌸
I feel like this from time to time, and ived used different ways to cope. How have you been feeling, a month from when you wrote this comment? I hope better.
That’s my panic too always about my daughter if I die who will care for her and she and I are so close what would happen to her!!! I have constant anxiety due to this!
I think many of us are in very similar situation to you! I hope you can find some relief.
Have you ever done ACT, CBT, or DBT therapy. It might be helpful.

I listened to this 3 years ago when my panic started getting really bad. It helped me a lot. now 3 years later Im back and its the worse feeling ever. I'm trying to tell myself that I overcame it once and I can do it again. Whoever sees this there is hope for you ❤
Thank you. I needed to hear this. I hope you’re doing better❤
How did you get out of it? It's been really bad for me for the last 8 months
Having a panic attack during a zoom meeting is not something I can recommend thank you for calming me down
Same with a teams meeting.. the teacher telling the class they HAVE to be done with the assignment by the end of class and I’m just over here shaking not even able to see my computer:/ not a great combo
@@shelbymatteson1455 I often experience the same thing 😕
Tell them. You're actually lucky when you think about it. You got people to talk to. But whereas me I get them at night and there's no one to talk to. You can tell your teacher what's up, they'll understand.
This was exactly why I was here!
@@retrothecake buddy i know your situation is horrible but i was in a zoom meeting with my class mates who already have bren bullying me for years and yeah no i couldn't just tell them
Sometimes i get really intense palpitations, then my mind starts to race and I feel an attack coming on. This video was so brilliant, you were soft and gentle. Really relaxing. So relaxing I actually fell asleep during the video and got a full nights rest. Thank you so much ♡
Sweet bunnyraid🙂 Same here , I always have heart palpitations it's really scary😪 and I find my mind starts to race think something bad will happen and I feel numb like I can't get a breath & start to have panic attack I happens mostly at night that last few nights this has happened again 😥Joanne,s beautiful videos like this one is really the only thing that really helps me calm down its soooo comforting to know We can just come here to Relax for while 🥰😇when we feel alone scared having panic attacks , and to help with sleep it's just such a beautiful relaxing soft loving safe caring place to come to ,Joanne is Such a lovely gentle little sweet Blesseing to Us All🙂💕 So Greatful and appreciate her!🙏🥲 My Sweetest Blesseings Sunshine Rainbowy Twinkleing Shineing love & Light to you Lovely bunnyraid , Be well & your not alone. you are Amazing 🤗💜🦄🌺xo
I get the same thing. You're not alone. I'm so glad I found this video and the fact I'm not alone ❤️❤️❤️
It is amazing to see its common and im not alone. Im dealing with this for the first time in the last week so glad to know i can come here to deal with it. God bless you all
I've been struggling with the same for a long time now. It's hard to feel like everything will be ok. This audio helps me so very much.
I'm having this exact panick attack right now. It's so overwhelming and terrifying like you are going to explode. Needed to read this so I know it's not just me
I’ve been having extreme panic attacks about death and not knowing what’s going to happen when we die that have recently just started and I found this while having one just now and it really helped me. Thank you so much.
Hello Katelyn and thank you for sharing. Fear of death is a huge trigger for a lot of people. I am happy to hear this helped you! Thank you so much xo
Katelyn you’re not alone. I’m the same exactly. I just try to ride out the wave. My attacks come in waves, feels like it’s all day most days, but I just let them land and breathe. Hugs to you
I know this is a late reply but I experience the same thing. I try to relieve it by either taking walks, talking to someone, or even turning it into adrenaline to calm down as if I was doing a workout the whole time. Other than that I am glad to know I am not alone in this. Sending big virtual hugs
This happens to me. Every one on my father's side was hyperchondriac and terrified of death and I inherited it. It was bad as a kid, then got better from my teens into adulthood. Now that people I love have died and I'm older its begun to get worse again.
I’m the same. It’s a type of phobia called thanatophobia... it sucks
:(
Please don’t take this the wrong way but listening to this, I feel like I’m in my mother’s arms being comforted. That’s not possible in real life but this video is the next best thing. Thank you for this.
Sweet Sunvio❤ I'm sending lots of cuddley hugs and love your way🥲🤗🤗💕 I Really loved your Beautiful comment it made me cry sooo much😥 and really love to send you comforting healing hugs and kind words We all Need to be comforted & loved 🤗❤ Joanne,s videos here are sooo comforting Nurtring to all here and it's soo soothing for All Our beautiful little souls and Snuggley too Love listening to Joannes videos 🥰🤗 Sending much love cuddley vibes Sunvio!💗 Bless you🙏💜🇦🇺🦋
i am currently having a very scary panic attack. i have been having these for a couple months now and never have before in my life. it’s the scariest feeling. i have been to the er multiple times due to these panic attacks. i feel one coming and i freak myself out so bad. my head gets heavy and my heart starts to pound like crazy. the shaking becomes uncontrollable. I found this video a week ago and i watch it everytime i feel one coming on and it works everytime. it makes me feel not so alone. i couldn’t thank you enough for making this video. i’m still anxious but im not shaking like i was. the comments definitely helped as well. thank you again.
i hope you feel better now lovely, i'm thinking of you! you arent alone
Was starting to feel derealization and then I started to get anxious this made me come back to reality and calm down before anything got out of control
This video, is my rescue. I suffer from nocturnal panic attacks/sudden awakenings- and this video calms me so well it’s like she’s right there walking through it with me. Beyond grateful, sobbing with gratitude
Aww sir❤️
Those are the worst haven't had them in awhile but I have had in the past.
I’m going through this right now my first ever and I am so so scared I cant stop crying
How r u doing now
I’ve never heard anyone else talk of these types of attacks but they are terrifying! Waking up unable to catch my breath and then my thoughts spiraling takes me there every time . Sending you love and calmness ❤
This too shall pass. I love everybody who sees this and wish you the absolute best! I’m struggling with my panic attacks but it’s nice to read so many comments to know that it’s normal to feel these feelings. The hard part is convincing yourself that it is okay and these feelings will move on. Again. Peace, Love Positivity to everybody struggling ❤
Having a really big one rn. Been playing this on repeat thank you as always Joanne. It’s been really hard you guys always freaking out that I’m gonna be sick and overthinking every little thing happening in my body, but knowing that it pass always helps. I just hate these feelings and want them to go. I just wanna cry. But I always read the comments and knowing that I’m not alone always helps me out when times get tough. Truly you guys have been there through the 3am panic attacks, the overthinking, the sleepless nights and have all helped me through it. I thank you all for everything, idk how I will be tonight sleeping but I’m happy knowing that I can be safe here. Thank you for everything you guys ❤️✨🫶🏻
Try running cold water over your hands until it hurts from the cold water. Pull them out do it again.
Same! I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to sickness/germs as well. When I get anxiety I feel like I'm gonna be sick, I have to go to the bathroom, racing heart, can't breathe, etc. which only further increases my anxiety. It's so relieving when I find someone going through the same kind of anxiety, that I'm not alone in it. So thank you for sharing your experience, as it brings me great comfort in a sense. ❤ hope you're feeling better
@@TheWorldisALie007better try normal cold water, its okay to wash your face and just relax with normal cold water and be at ease, calm and relax , calm and relaxed
I know exactly how u feel...I've gotten to the point where I won't even take meds that have any sort of caffeine,no energy drinks ,coffee nothing that I think would make my heart race cuz I'm scared it will trigger a panic attacks. I'm so tired of feeling this way. 😢
@@mscarmencitaMif you have O type blood, you naturally have more adrenaline and cortisol so caffeine is like a rocket exploding in your body. I can't give up sugar, I've cut down. It comforts me but I think sugar aggravates anxiety, do you have anxiety from sugar too? I was on valium for ten years and had to come off it. This video works but I'm still having icy burning in my chest and arms.😢 Her voice is so lovely. If I'd had a mother like her, I wouldn't be such an emotional wreck!💜🧡💚
Attacks happen at work frequently and I get so dizzy that my body goes numb. Thank you so much for this FANTASTIC MENTAL HEALTH TOOL! You are LITERALLY a life saver.
i use this even when im NOT having a panic attack, so calming
Usually when I get a panic attack, I try so many tactics - mindfulness/meditation, deep breathing, etc. but sometimes I get so overwhelmed I cannot talk to myself rationally. Thank you so much for this video. Having a calm voice talk me down actually put my mind at ease.
I have severe ptsd and panic attacks almost daily. This helped me focus on something besides my symptoms which helped me calm down. Bless you.
Hope your panic attacks have gotten fewer and fewer
Sending love and peace your way ❤
I've been suffering from pretty bad anxiety attacks for most of my adult life, but especially for the last year, or so. This is my go-to when I feel one coming on. It helps a lot, but it's usually when I look at the comments that I feel the panic greatly subside and I start bawling. It helps a lot to know I'm not alone in experiencing this kind of thing. The comments of a stranger on the internet might not mean a lot to everybody, but to my surprise, they mean quite a lot to me. If it's anything to you, at all, know that you are going to be okay again, and that I'm really, genuinely rooting for you.
I hope you are feeling better Peter 🙏🏻💕
Thank you Peter ❤️❤️❤️ Wish you all the best
It helps to know you're not going through this alone especially when your family is not supportive to you when you're going through this like how mine isn't.
My attacks last for a few hours. The next day I feel like a crazy person for how I felt the night before. My arms are tingly. My chest feels tight. I can’t focus on anything other than what I’m feeling. But I’m okay. You’re okay too. I’m sharing this so you know others feel this way too. Deep breaths. Listen to the nice lady.
This video helped calm me down after a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Utah today... all during the Coronavirus boom...
Im so glad my Mom voice helped you through that crazy situation. I heard about it on the news and im glad you are ok. I know it was scary kinda like this virus thing. But you know the good thing, just like the earthquake passed, this virus will pass too. Hang in there and stay strong. Thanks for visiting Joanne channel 😊👍💫
😍
Right with you! I live in Utah and I was in salt lake at the time when the quake happened and I fell
Thank you I needed this my chest felt tight and I was freaking out but i feel calmer now thank you. I was diagnosed with Covid-19 on my birthday (April 2) and I’m still recovering but I’m fine right now. I’m 18 years old.
Hope you’re feeling better 🙏🏾
God the past month now I’ve been getting the worst anxiety attacks, I’m so glad I just now found this video, makes me feel so much better because I don’t feel alone hearing the talking, we are not alone yall ❤️
I have so many triggers and even wake up with attacks as well. I could use some prayers
I can’t count how many panic attacks you have talked me through. Thank you
I’m having one rn and it’s been like 2 hours, I can’t sleep. It’s not easy but we’ll get through this. God’s got us🙏🏽 WE’RE stronger than our anxiety❤️
❤🙏🏾
are you okay now?
@@NotJaniyaa yea I am, I now know that anytime I feel like I’m “dying”, it’s a panic attack and I fight it… haven’t had one in a long while🙏🏽 Thanks for asking, hope you’re ok✨
This is me right now. The worst part is knowing i have to call off work tomorrow. Because its 3am amd i have had anxiety all night long.
@@fifiearthwanderer So sorry to hear that☹️, I understand and I know you will push through and it will get better🙏🏽 praying for you
I’m having a panic attack at random, I think my headache triggered it, I’ve got a weird headache and whenever I experience something which I haven’t much before I get consumed with anxiety thinking I’m gonna die😔 I’m trying to believe your words, but my mind is telling me my thoughts are right, it’s scary I hate emotions
Hi Blue moon. I feel for you but we will manage to get through. We will get better.
Same 🥺
Same girl I’ve had them for years but still can’t help but think it. Also I experience new panic attack symptoms all the time which really freaks me out more and I just can’t cope. I used to have clusters and multiple attacks a day with medication after experimenting with different Medication after years because some work for a little bit and some just doesn’t work I finally gotten them in control more but I still have them just not multiple ones every day that terrified me and I never wanted to get out of bed
Feel the same way right now. Major hypochondriac lately and it’s debilitating
@@austingress82 same here
having a lot of panic attacks lately because of covid 19 because my allergies are acting up and i swear i have the virus , i’m currently in the middle of watching this is helping me a lot right now because they get really really serve i get shaky, heart drops and i feel like i’m dying even though i’m not , my palms get sweaty and start to feel hot sometimes nauseous and dizzy and i feel like i’m the only one who deals with the exact symptoms everyday and seeing these comments made me feel 100x better because it reassures me that people are feeling the exact same thing as me right now and i didn’t even know .. this helped a lot thank you so much !!!
Right there with you friend. The shortness of breath and lack of smell I get from allergies has me absolutely terrified during this allergy season. Throw in a pretty serious bout of health anxiety and this has been absolutely terrifying.
I'm going through this I even ended up in hospital with a temperature but it ended up just being a chest infection but I genuinely thought I was going to die x
You're not alone .. I'm having the same type of reactions with my body in general .. Keep faith, this is all in our minds and it shall pass. Just keep breathing and ground yourself. God bless and feel better ..
Omg your not alone...this happens to me everyday and I always tell myself I have covid 19 and then I feel like a cant breathe because of my panic attack and then I feel like I have it just because I cant catch my breath because of my panic attack.
yesss we are not alone i get nauseous and feel like i’m going to faint or die
Found this video again after 2.5 years and am smiling right now. If this helps anyone, I used to put this video on 2.5 years ago when I was having 10ish severe panic attacks a day, when I couldnt leave the house or even the bed.
I currently came looking for it, to download to my phone in case, as Im getting on a plane to go on holiday in 2 days and getting nervous.
- This moment helped me look back and see how far i've come, even though 2 years ago I never thought I'd get remotely better. And it's funny how I used to listen to this to feel safe in my own bed, and now Im downloading it to feel safe on a plane !!!!
Things ALWAYS get better. It can take years, and baby steps and a lot of courage, but things always always get better.
All I can say is thank you, this video is my go to. For everyone out there who is scared during this difficult time you are not alone. It will get better. Better days, hours, minutes, and seconds are to come. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We got this !!!
I suffer from severe anxiety. I'm out of my medication, this video helped me during two pretty bad attacks. It's been a very long time since I've had to work through an anxiety attack without the help of medication. Thank you for this video.
my panic attacks are getting so much worse and i need a therapist so bad. i’m shaking right now, in fact. it’s always worse every single panic attack. i’m too scared to talk to someone. this helped. thank you.
update 3 weeks later i’m using the same video for the same reason.
I feel the same way. I have panic attacks almost daily and it’s really affected my everyday life.
epxphany hey, just wanted to say that I’m in the same position as you feeling overwhelmed by panic attacks and feeling like I need a therapist so badly but don’t have access to one. It can be so scary feeling like you need help but not being able to get it. I just wanted to let you know that you got this and you are supported even when you feel alone. I hope you’re doing okay :)
epxphany...you’re not alone❤️
Sending lots love to you sweetheart, hope you’re feeling better xxx
Thank you! Those of us that suffer from health anxiety feel like this is a special personal hell and it's so scary because so many panic attack symptoms mimic those of what they say are covid19 symptoms. Shortness of breath? Yep. Dizziness? Yep. It suuuuucks but this helped me so much. Thank you!
Yes Missy you are so right! So glad this helped!
Agreed Missy!
What an incredible gift you've given all of us. I've had C-PTSD and bad anxiety since I was a kid. I'm 30 now, and it still gets me just like it did in the past, sometimes worse.
Most people don't understand the depths of my anxiety, and even if they do, I tend to isolate myself when I'm anxious as I don't know how to express it to or in front of others.
This is like the mother I wish I had. The comfort of this reassurance is like a warm hug. The way she acknowledges these feelings exist but that they aren't facts is so helpful. This is the first time I've found this but I've saved it for quick reference. Thank you for this❤
These are so helpful to me. I thank everyone who makes these. I am 14 and i have many many panic attacks. I have very bad anxiety and this has affected me since I was 7. I tell my parents how i feel and they yell at me. They tell me i am overthinking and never understand me. The best feeling is having someone who understands. You can never really understand how much this affects your life. It is so hard and there is nothing I can do about it. Sorry for this paragraph Ive just really been struggling lately. Thank you for this video.
❤
Keep working on yourself and I promise it will get better young fellow. Lots of love to you buddy.
@@valkarcy thanks :)
Proud of you. I remember when I was back in your shoes 6 years ago. I can't say life gets easier, but it DOES get better and happier. You're gonna be okay, and again you're doing great, just keep being you and trying your best.
@@skye3830 ty! I really needed this
I was having a bad attack today and couldn’t get ahold of my fiancé at work, which is the only thing that helps me when I’m panicking. This is the only video I have ever found that actually helped me...So specific it made me feel like you understand every aspect of an attack. Thank you so much
You helped my best friend during her panic attack when I couldn’t. Thank you.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this video when I’m having a panic attack. Thank yoy
I am so grateful I found this last night. I’m getting teary just typing this. Panic attacks are so scary in the moment and all my usual logic and coping strategies were completely useless. Your video gave me the comforting, rational words I desperately needed to hear. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Hope you continue to feel better. sending love!💕
This upload is still helping people years later ❤ woke up into a panic attack after years without having one.
Thank you!
I was having a really bad panic attack because I accidentally poked myself in the eye and this really helped.
I now listen to this the moment I sart to feel the anxiety that comes before a panic attack. 4 minutes in and I feel way better. Thank you for making this video!! Bless you!
This saved my sanity last night thank you. Had the worst anxiety this morning. I am subscribing. Thank you again.
Scrolling through these comments has helped so much along with this video please don’t ever delete it you have no idea how many people you’re helping
I had anxiety attacks ten years ago and then I dealt with them and they went away for the most part for all this time and now 2 weeks ago they came back and it fuckin sucks. It’s hard to breath I sweat my heart races and it’s hard to come back to reality. This video is the best thing in the world and the woman literally sounds like an angel and it’s the most comforting thing to hear during one of these episodes. Thank you so much and keep being a beautiful angel.
Been having a few panic attacks lately with everything that’s goin on at the moment and this video has helped calm me down every time so helpful thank you 🙂
I’m 3 months pregnant and I’ve been severely depressed and anxious. Thank you for this. It helped me calm down from a panic attack. I know this isn’t healthy for my baby and I hope I can stay calm the rest of the pregnancy. I’ve listened to podcasts, I’ve talked to my dr, talked in church. Nothing has helped. This did calm me but idk for how long, but I’m glad I have this to go back too.
I’m 2 months pregnant and feeling the same way.
I'm not pregnant, but my hormones cause me severe anxiety... it's like someone is hijacking your body! 😭
It's by far one of the worst experiences, 😪 😕 I'm seeing a therapist, also gonna do you tube video on my experiences with covid and panic attacks, hoping it will help someone out there also 🙏 😢 love to all, don't give up,
I hope you are doing better, sending healing hugs.
This video has really helped me in the past, I was driving and feeling all dizzy and anxious and played this in the whole journey home and I can’t thank you enough. I’m currently led in bed trying not to spiral into another panic attack, currently feeling pressure in my head/eyes, dizziness, tight chest.. can’t focus or read properly but I’m listening to this video whilst typing my comment. Reading through the comments has helped me a little. It really does suck we go through this and I wish you all the best with overcoming this awful situation we find ourselves in sometimes.
I was having a serve panic attack in the middle of the night, whist i was home alone, when I stumbled across this video. I felt instantly more relaxed within the first few minutes as the words are so reassuring and calming. They reminded me that I’m safe and what I was feeling will pass. It turned a horrible and scary situation into a one of calm and peace. The breathing and grounding techniques were brilliant. I can’t thank you enough for uploading this video and helping me easily get through a panic attack.
I have to extend my gratitude to everyone in the comments as well. I used to think I was ridiculous for feeling like I was dying- I have to stop myself from calling EMS, I try to panic call my family and loved ones to tell them I love them. I dont want to die and I get so desperate not to- even though that's not what's happening. Now I see that I'm not alone and it's quite a common symptom of panic attacks. It's true that the entire time I'm telling myself that I'm fine and I know rationally I'm fine- but sometimes it just takes some extra help.
I am listening to this and breathing deep and trying to ride it out, I appreciate this video a lot.
I can definitely identify with this. I've called EMS several times, ( I believe they have me listed as having anxiety bcuz the techs Always ask me that) And the late night "I Love U, this could be Goodbye" calls OMG! I found this video early in the pandemic and I'm soooo Grateful that I did! Joanne has calmed me down countless times. Like today... that's why I'm here in the comments 😁
My family treats me like I'm being dramatic and my mom talks down to me during my panic attacks. That's why I run to ems for help.
@@mariannemason7700I wondered if they take notes because the last time I called almost 2 weeks ago the lady was really annoying she asked for my address 3 times then I think she purposely hung up on me. I told her I thought I was having a panic attack and she asked if that's what it was and I said I didn't know because my step dad was burning weeds out back and there was so much smoke in the house it was triggering me. Then the fire department always shows up even when I ask for medical it makes no sense. One time I asked to go to the hospital and they had to call for an ambulance.
I have many panic attacks and I'm only so young, I feel like I'm older than what I really am and this is amazing help. Thank you for helping people!!
I had my first panic attack last night. I was alone and it was an absolutely terrifying experience. Your video helped me so much. Your words are so reassuring and you carried me through it ❤️ I can’t thank you enough for putting this out.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I have delt with my anxiety for YEARS AND YEARS since I was little and could never find a proper way to calm myself without making things worse or just trying to ignore my emotions! This literally did the trick…I don’t know what or why lol but this will be my main go to, to calm back down from my anxiety attacks! Thank you wonderful human being❤️
You are my life raft right now in the middle of a terrifying anxiety attack at work …thank you
Even reading the subtitles of this video is enough. I found myself in a club feeling overwhelmed and heading to the smoking area and feeling desperate for something to calm me, well as it turns out, just having the chance to read the subtitles of this video was enough to bring me back round through my attack. I praise you. Thank you. ❤
Having a panic attack right now. My best friend sent me this video. Thank you so much for creating this video.
Hey i pray your panic attack goes away 🙏🌺 You are safe & this channel along with Joanne nurturing presence will keep you safe. Sending good vibes your way. You got this
I hope you are feeling better Ellie! I am glad you were able to find some comfort to help ease the unpleasant scary sensations. Much love to you! J xo
I’ve been here 4 or 5 times this April. I’m really struggling with my health anxiety and tachycardia. It’s so unsettling. Thank you for this video it truly has helped me to overcome some of my panic attacks
I'm also struggling with tachycardia and health anxiety panic attacks daily. This is a favorite video of mine. Has helped keep me out of the emergency room a few times.
Same here! I always come watch this video as I wait for my beta blocker to kick in... sounds like you guys could use a beta blocker for that tachycardia too..
I didn't eat anything today, then I had three Shandy's (lager and lemonade) after work and it didn't do me any favours. I've felt myself get more and more panicked and I've taken myself to bed to listen to this. It's so strange how a funny/strange sensation in your body can trigger your mind into making you feel more physical symptoms of feeling unwell and anxious. I should have known I'd feel like this, I've been a sufferer for years of anxiety and over worrying.
Your videos have really helped me help myself through it. Thank you.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a level 10 panic attack. I truly convinced myself I was dying and that my body was shutting down. Your words really calmed me down. "If you can talk, you're getting anything breath." Thank you ❤
This video has really changed my life and helped me realize that the panic attacks are not going to last forever... that physically my body will be able to work it's way free of the anxiety. Thank you so much for this video.
Am traveling for work right now across the world and I'm currently alone. I was having such severe anxiety and was terrified. Listening to this was incredibly helpful and allowed me to calm down for the first time since being here. Thank you so much.
i was having a panic attack while with a friends family four hours away from where i live. the methods i usually use weren’t helping so i found this and i cannot thank you enough for what you do 🙏🏼 ❤️
This is the most comforting and informative panic attack relief meditation I've ever heard. Glad I found one that actually works for me.
I hope this video stays up forever. It is the only one I rely on, it helps me so much. It saves me. I'm so thankful for this. Thank you for making this and making my day to days possible without going into full fledge panic.
I had a small panic attack many years ago but then all of a sudden I out of nowhere at night and it was horrible. Once I found out about this video I emidetly felt better within the first few minutes of listening, I'm glad I found this video.
I cannot thank you enough, Joanne, for this video and this talk down. I struggle with severe panic attacks and found out last September that I was pregnant and could no longer take my anxiety medication. I come back to this video every time I’m feeling anxious and without fail it calms me down. Truly magical and I am beyond thankful for you ❤️
Panic attacks are scary, but coming to these types of videos and seeing everyone relate and be nice makes me feel better
You seriously saved me. I was having migraine with aura (blurred vision) and thought I was having a stroke because of it. Laid down and found this and drifted off to nap, woke up feeling much better. Thought I was going to pass out from the panic.
I have been having panic attacks for a few years. Everytime I feel somethings up, I listen to this. This video has always worked for me. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this video.❤
28 year old male, suffering with a trigger and traumatic anxiety attack from overwhelming stresses of work and other issues and need reassurance. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when I was 22 and it answers a lot of questions. I seek therapy and medication but always refer to calming affirmations and any other advice or support that is available. I'd just like to say thank you to people like yourself that give support and help with this crippling illness. It connects people and makes you feel like you are not alone and just so grateful for the help.
I (like many others) have been going through extreme anxiety over the past few months. The panic attacks were unbearable and medication made them 10x worse. Listening to your video has helped me through every single one. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! You should make a video to help people with anxiety/racing mind get to sleep.
This is so calm, I needed this soooo bad right now. I wouldn’t wish this disorder on my worst enemy. Thank you so much for reminding us we are okay. My body is exhausted from fighting. Feels terrible. This is a safe environment.
I am 22 years old and never had a panic attack before. I worked back to back 12 hour shifts with minimal sleep and I must’ve been so exhausted I started to panic after work. This video really helped. Thank you.
I'm having a mental breakdown crying and laughing and I knew I was having a panic attack. This was very helpful. Thank you.
the adrenalin when having a bad attack makes the overwhelming sense of doom so much worse. makes it feel like you aren't sure if you are having a heart attack or can even breathe. videos like this help a LOT.
