    Thanks so much for sharing 😊 proud of you for sharing your story. I see alot of myself in you. I get that dizzy feeling....I took zannax from age 13 to 30 and when I stopped I had seizures. Not to mention severe anxiety. So in a 3 month span I was seizing on and off and trying to somehow manage myself. (Eventually I started drinking until I checked myself into a detox center and then a gorgeous behavior health campus out in nature) so anyways now in current days almost 3 years later, I manage my own anxiety. I packed up a few items and moved to a new town with my husband and son to live a completely different lifestyle. I bought a farmhouse and homestead 3 years ago and a pile of land to hunt on..and a gorgeous garden. I take on projects that both help my homestead/ family but things that are therapeutic for me. Feeding animals, tending to plants, cooking etc. When my anxiety surges though I also get that "omg I'm gonna faint" feeling. I think it makes me think of the seizures. So I get triggered by that feeling and it brings on a panic attack. I've gone within over the past couple years enough to be able to talk and breathe myself out of a panic attack. So anyways thanks for letting me share and thank you both so much for taking the time to create this video. We are never alone!

    A couple of years ago, I had my first panic attack and when you said that your life completely changed after that, that is the truest thing ever. Also I carry water with me!! It is also like a safety blanket. It makes it hard to work, to motivate myself sometimes, to have confidence being alone and so much more. I’ve been through a lot in my life and I just turned 24, no one in my family understands what I’m going through and I just want to have my life back.

    Our parents didn't have access to this information which is sad. Like they say now, there is no better time to have a mental illness! I hope they teach children of today these tools. Kendra said a great thing "problems that use to create a setback or cause anxiety in the past really doesn't anymore."

    Hey friend! If you’re dealing with road anxiety, perhaps my story can shed some light on how to get out of this problem as soon as possible:
    Here’s my story:
    One night, as I was driving from Miami to Orlando in the twilight hours, a fierce panic attack hit me like a tsunami wave. I couldn't move, my body shook, and I struggled to breathe. The world blurred, closing in on me. I wanted to pull over, but I kept going, determined not to let panic win. And I’ll add, that it really felt like impending doom. Just Incase you think that somehow your story is different, let me tell you, It felt like I was a dead zombie behind the wheel! (I wasn’t sure that I’m gonna make it out alive)
    I’ll break it down: I felt like I couldn’t breathe, felt nauseous, as if I were dying. “BUT” I WASN’T FIGHTING THE SENSATION (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART). I wanted to prove to myself that my body could handle driving at 80 mph for another hour and a half, even though it felt unnatural and out of my control, with shallow breathing at its maximum, making me feel like I was drowning inward. Despite this, I kept driving.
    Somehow, I made it to Orlando, the city lights welcoming me like a victory parade. I had faced the darkness and won, proving to myself that I was stronger than the storm inside me, that it’s possible.
    On the way back, something amazing happened. I felt calm, as if the earlier struggle had never existed. No fear, no torment, nothing!
    Afterward, I realized a powerful lesson: our fears can only be conquered by facing them. (Even if it feels literally impossible) Just like someone wise once said, our brains (the amygdala) learn from experience. By confronting fear, the storm eventually fades away. (Even if it takes two or five hours) It was a huge realization that echoed within me, showing me that I had the power to overcome my own fears.
    Ever since, no panic attack occurred on the road again. As a matter of fact, it helped me with other panic attacks as well.
    Wishing you all a happy safe journey, and a wonderful life!

    I hate to but have to ask this question - Why all the relapses?? I’m not sure this point was fully addressed. How confident is she (or you) that this time she is completely over it?

    • @guestplayer4797
      @guestplayer4797 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think its because she was still using benzos (xanax) which makes it difficult for your amygdala to learn from facing your fears (exposures).

    Wonder when people realize this was when she reached tolerance on the Xanax. It’s no joke.

      Try tensing your calf muscles and clasp hands together and pull outward during an attack. Pilots use this to raise BP and not pass out. Has worked for me a number of times. There are TH-cam videos on it.
