Here is a wild trick. I once had a massive internal panic attack before taking off. I had my mask and sunglasses on, my heart was beating out of my chest. The flight was held at the gate asking passengers if they wanted to get off take flight vouchers etc.. I literally thought it my head, I am going to ring for medical attention but I sat there. Once we were in air, my calm down was when the flight staff started working on the in cart service. For whatever reason.. that snapped me back to life. Now, anytime I get on a plane my calm down in is initial in flight service. Its weird I know.
I always feel calm as soon as they start serving. I think it's because if they didn't, it might imply something is wrong. If they're happy serve even while we are still climbing, then it must be okay! I also am happy to see the smiles on the flight attendants faces. This is their daily office after all!
@@anxiety_fitnessI think it’s a form of grounding. It’s the kicking in of cognitive brain disengage your panic brain 🧠
I can't thank you enough for your channel. This is exactly what I go through daily, I always think I'm alone in this battle . Thank you for being so open and raw about everything it helps immensely ❤
Never stop making these anxiety videos, they're honestly very educational and help me get by day to day basis .
because of you I am motivated to beat my 12 years old agoraphobia. I had years, where I could travel, but since the pandemic my symptoms are worse. yesterday I visited a friends birthday 46 km away from my home, over the autobahn. and I was so so afraid. But I did it. Thank you for sharing and giving hope.
Man you have such courage to not only do this, but also to film it and show your vulnerability. I watch your videos and it’s like watching myself. The cardiophobia, the fear of being too warm, being too far from a hospital… I wish you all the very best on your journey and recovery.
I've been dealing with a speed phobia for a year. I can drive, but I can't sit next to someone while they're driving. I can't take the train, and I can't fly at all. My family lives in another country, and I really want to visit them, but I can't even get on a train. 😞
I can’t decide if you inspire me or make me feel worse 🤣 your braver than me il give you that. I picture my panic attack being a mega freak out on a plane you seem to be able to contain yours better am paranoid il be freaking the staff out and how freaked out I’d be 😂
You done amazing man. You deal with your PVC’s so well. I panic over one and it stays on my mind the whole time. Keep going bro.
I felt every wave of panic and trigger, I feel for you so much because I can truly relate! Agoraphobia and panic disorder is not easy. It really feels like you’re gonna die.
Idk if this could help anyone else but I just learned the other day that some people have experienced a great reduction in panic attacks by taking iron supplements in safe amounts. The low ferritin blood levels (which isn’t routinely tested for) seems to be correlated with anxiety and panic symptoms. I am on iron now and only a few days in but hoping that I get some relief soon if this is a missing link.
It happens to be as well that I have felt some panic and anxiety these few years and at one health check up , it turns out I’m really low in ferritin and my hb, I feel much better after taking the supplement and feel like I can deal with the anxiety better. Hope you are feeling better after the iron supplements as well!
Ironically I think you have a very calming voice
People who’ve been through / overcome the most typically have the most calming presence
Thank you for your channel, you help me so much!
Thank you for watching, glad I can help in some way :)
little details have been amazing- that you chose the seat beside exit as it is considered to be the safest. or that I’am safe t-shirt at just the right spot because we tend to look down first thing once we feel anxious so I apply this trick of looking up and moving my body more when something happens
Great job bro you did super good!
Thank you so much!
Hey I can’t believe how good you’ve done this… I have this anxiety too and the things you do I can’t imagine myself even considering because it’s just too extreme :( , I wanna find someone with the same anxiety and conquer it together… I’ve been watching you’re content more and more, but I feel really hopeless in this :(
Hey! I totally feel you, I gotta take a long haul flight in about a month and I'm very anxious about it. Good thing? I'm getting married. Bad thing? It's in a different country and I travel alone. I'm trying to get ready this whole month so if you wanna do this together I'm totally down for it :)
I'm flying to London from Belgrade alone for the first time in 5 years on june 14th and I must say I am terrified (especially of the flight, knowing I'm "trapped") and also since I've never been in England before, and even though I'm visiting a friend there I'm constantly thinking WHAT IF I can't handle these two weeks and it turns out to be a nightmare of a holiday.. 🥺
Anyways, thank you so much for sharing and doing everything you do and I hope you're well ❤️
I’m so soo proud of you!
Thank you!
God bless you for this channel ❤❤ I feel you. One day we will be free
Thx for the experience. I would really luv to travel to place but since I am scared of flying I have never managed to see any other places in this world besides my hometown
Keep trying, you will get there!
Would you be able to do a in depth video on driving? & how u cope with panic while driving? Thanks your videos are inspiring!
Good idea. I'll see what I can do!
I have a fear of heights, watching your videos, inspires me i also have panic attacks, have a good day, so I have bad days on my bad days I just sit in my room and cry,
Also, one of the first things I do after taking my seat is aim that air vent at my face. That seems to help with some of my anxiety, and just sticking with those slow, steady breaths.
I have panic attacks every time I fly because it's like once every few years. I wish I could reach the level of relaxed you are in this video. I make music and would want to be able to relax and make music on the flight to be honest.
i goy anxiety when covid starrted i was like 15 16 and didnt leave my house from when covid started to when it ended. i wasnt scared of covid i was just scared of my anxiety i realized that and slowly went out more i did really good for awhile im now 19 and its back in full swing ive had alot of family issues so that might be why but man its getting hard i cant eat i cant go out its hard to keep going how do u do it man i truly hope i can learn to control my anxiety i dont wanna spend my whole life alone
Do you think we will ever get over anxiety? or is it a life long thing we have to live with? Also, I don't know if this will help you but I have been telling myself I am fine and I'm not going to die. That helps me snap out of an anxiety attack as soon as it happens. I am stuck in my house and I can't leave due to Anxiety attacks but hopefully I can get over it soon.
Look up Claire weeks, she has a book called hope and help for your nerves, it's a life changer. U can listen to her on audible as well. We can cure ourselves it is possible ❤

Know your enemy who knows you better than you for decades since you open your eyes and stop fighting with him! Take deep breath and do what scares you 😂😂😂 over time you will learn to manage it!
I mean this video is me just doing a bunch of things that scare me
@@anxiety_fitness i got same issue over 3 years & dont get me wrong but I just gave up of fighting my anxiety. Now i just ignoring and do what scares me or what I hate to! it give much relief.
Can't argue there, that's why I am doing these videos facing my fears and anxiety to show others they can do it too.@@youngjedi8028
I can't do a window or middle seat i feel boxed in.
Flying for the first time on the Fourth of July. I’ve had anxiety, my whole life, so hoping I can just breathe but I am a little anxious.
How was it ?
@@teddybruckshotteddy5372 it was just fine :) thanks. A little unnerving a couple times during take off and landing, but I distracted myself with a game on an app, or taking pics out the window and just remembered statistics :)
I have anxiety bad and fear of dying and all that
Same but I am slowly getting over it
What is the pool of water you dip your hand into at 43:33?
I think it's called a Kneippanlage. It's just a cold pit of water for some type hydrotherapy called Kneipp therapy. There were a lot of them in the town. It was an extremely hot week so I put my arms in there for a while 😅.
@@anxiety_fitness Thank you. That's wild. I looked into that salty spring "Gradierwerk" online and that was interesting too.
BTW, I totally understand the heat trigger. Omg, I get that too. 🫂
Bruh with that hair tail its normal to have an anxiety.😂😂😂
It's normal to have anxiety but it's not normal to have an anxiety disorder or agoraphobia. Why are you scared of my hair tail, it's harmless.
You really have anxiety?
Why wouldn't I?
