    I have experienced pretty severe panic attacks since leaving the military. Last night was probably the 2nd worst panic attack I've had. My body was uncontrollably shaking, hands/feet/nose were freezing cold, and my heart was beating uncontrollably.... it felt like what I can only describe as a heart attack for 2-3 hours(an eternity at the time).
    Just wanted to say thank you for this video. After listening to this video 7 or 8 times, I went from being on the brink of calling emergency services.... to slowly getting the episode under control. For anyone else experiencing something similar, just know you're not alone and you will get through this.

    hi you lovely people, may i give you guys a tip while watching this video? (or for future anxiety attacks)! get an ice cube, freeze pack, a cold/frozen water bottle, heck even a frozen bag of peas lol! and place it right on your forehead or temples. the ice tricks the mind to think that the coldness is pain, when it really isnt. so your brain is almost like “hey brb about this anxiety shit, i gotta go deal with this pain!” 😅, and as your brain is doing that, that is when you are in a clearer and more calm state to relax and calm down. breathing exercises, music, etc has never worked for me with my panic attacks. but the ice does!! sometimes if i feel an attack starting, ill immediately grab my freeze pack (for like lunchboxes) and place it right on my forehead. then ill call a close family member and talk or watch my favorite tv show. it helps. the ice is also soothing as well. keep telling yourself “how many times have i been through an anxiety attack before? a lot. and it does indeed pass. i am strong, i am safe, and i am okay.” you’ve been reading this long already, which has probably taken you a decent amount of time, and i am proud of you for that. you are not alone. im currently writing this because i feel nauseous, and i get panic attacks when i feel like im going to throw up. but also as im writing this, its okay. worst comes to worst, what happens? i puke? itll pass. it always does. youve got this my friend.

    I was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2021. I’ve been having panic/anxiety attacks almost every day for the last 2 years. I know logically that I’m safe because I’ve had my heart analyzed with just about every test you can get. That being said, when I have a panic attack it REALLY feels like a heart attack, and it’s so hard to remind myself that I’m safe because it feels SO real. But it always ends up passing eventually, and being reminded of that fact through this video was really helpful.

    I listened to this on loop the entire time and closed my eyes and managed to get through it, despite all the turbulence and shaking (from me!).
    The reassurances that I’m safe and my anxiety cant actually hurt me were just absolutely perfect and I felt their calming effect every time.
    Despite everything I felt was “wrong” at the time, I landed fine and am now chilling in my airbnb bed feeling glad I managed to endure it.

    Going to share a few stories because having something to write helps me calm down, and I know for some people, having something to read helps them calm down. It does for me.
    Nobody has to read this of course.. Tbh I am rambling to help myself calm down. Helps my mind focus instead of going 673920 directions all at once.
    A long while back I discovered talking myself down from panic. My mom was rather.. well.. abusive, in some cases. I don't wake up easily, and I'm not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. The night has always been my friend. It is calm, peaceful and when I feel my best. But my mom made me feel like garbage if I slept past 10 and would scream at me if I slept past what she deemed was too late, and would make comments about it throughout the day sometimes.
    Apparently I do this thing where I can talk to people while still being mostly asleep.. so when she would ask if I am awake, I'd respond, but not be fully conscious of it. When she'd come back in my room and find me "back to bed", she'd scream at me. Some days I'd start my day by jolting out of bed in fear, not knowing why I am being screamed at, and then crying it out in the bathroom and trying to calm down.
    She passed away three years ago, but waking up is still weirdly scary sometimes. A couple years ago a cat knocked something over and it fell against my door, and the sound it made was similar to it being wrenched open with force. It was enough to jolt me out of bed and cause a massive panic attack. I couldn't believe how I went from sleeping, to crying and having trouble breathing in literal seconds. After a few minutes I started talking to myself and kind of imagined a scared, smaller, younger version of myself to talk to.
    "Hey kiddo. I know you're really scared right now and that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that. I know you're trying to protect us, and you're bracing us for the worst, helping us try to survive the day. And I appreciate you trying to keep us safe, but I need you to know things are different now. We don't have to be scared to wake up anymore. I know you're trying your best and you're just protecting us, but it is all okay. We can relax."
    I couldn't believe how much it helped me.
    A few months after this, I talked to her again. To myself. But a different part of me.. Sometimes I'll dismiss my feelings a lot for the sake of keeping the peace, for the sake of making people happy, etc. Sometimes I'd feel internally angry, upset, jealous, scared, or a mix of everything, and I used to get angry at those feelings, especially of jealousy. Now, my jealousy isn't a cute little quirk. It can get downright psychotic. It is severe. I am aware of it and make as many efforts as possible to control it and make the right choices. It is a part of me, but it doesn't have to define me. I used to loathe it, hate it, and never validate it in any way. All of these negative things I sort of lumped into its own version of me.. a version I hated, and wished didn't exist. I was mean to her. I hated her.
    I'm not sure what changed, but one day I realized, during one of my emotional spirals.. I was feeling jealousy and sadness at the same time. I can't remember what happened now, but I started talking to that negative version of me. "why are we jealous right now?"
    A feeling of fear and sadness combined washed over me. "So we're afraid of losing them. We don't want to be alone."
    And it kind of went on from there. Saying things, reassuring, and for the first time in my life, treating her with kindness, instead of telling her to stop it or just not acknowledging it at all. The moment it changed was when I said "I know at the core you just don't want to be abandoned. A lot of people have done that to us, haven't they? It is okay.. there are healthier ways to deal with this, you know. We don't have to be so bitter, scared, sad and angry. Maybe that's partly my fault, though. I've always been so mean to you.. But you've made me feel sad when I didn't stand up for myself. You made me feel angry when I had a right to be, but didn't voice it. Sometimes your actions are a little misguided, but deep down I know you've cared about me when I didn't care about myself. Thank you for that. I'm really sorry I've been so mean to you."
    In that moment I started crying, but not in sadness, in a way of relief I've never felt before that moment. It was rather surreal, honestly.
    Since then, I try to offer guidance instead of hostility. "I know you wanted them to spend time with us instead of their other friend, but we don't need to be bitter towards them. We'll be okay, they'll come back and they aren't abandoning us. And it doesn't mean they don't love us and don't want to spend time with us. Its all okay."
    A lot of instances like that have taken place. And sometimes she's still stubborn and doesn't always listen to reason, it isn't foolproof, but we've come a long way.
    I'm better than I used to be, but not as good as I am going to get.
    It might take baby steps to make positive changes, and sometimes we might fall backwards, but I know as long as I keep trying, it will be okay.
    The whole reason I am writing this is due to a huge panic attack I am having over the *possibility* of hurting my friend's feelings. I don't even know if I did.. All I know is he suddenly dipped out of call and my mind went absolutely insane with panic. I feel so silly.
    Trying to talk myself down and tell myself not to assume, we literally don't know anything. If you don't know, you don't know. And if you don't know, you don't know of anything to panic about. Anything I "know" are things my mind has created. Scenarios that I have no idea are true. This guy has been my dearest friend, my best friend, for 10 years. I know he isn't going anywhere, even if I did hurt his feelings. I, of course, don't wish to use him as an emotional punching bag and want to own up to my mistake and make an effort to take responsibility and apologize/explain where needed, if something like that did happen. Honestly it could be as simple as his internet dying or power going out.
    I legit feel silly writing it out, because the scale of panic I am dealing with is absolutely massive for how miniscule this is. I know it's probably a whole bunch of things weighing on me and this is just that one little straw that broke the panic attack camel's back.. still feels rather embarrassing.
    But I am choosing to validate it. If it is affecting me, then it isn't small. If it is affecting me, then it is important.
    I am fully aware I need to figure out how to deal with the overthinking that plagues me every day of my life.. but for right now, this is working, and healthier than it used to be.
    If anyone read through that mess, I know it probably means you need to focus on something because of your own struggles. Or maybe you're just interested. Maybe it is both. Whatever the reason, I genuinely hope you will be okay. Right now it might not be okay, but it will be. It will be for me, and it will be for you. Your now is not your forever.
    You've made it through every bad day you've ever been through so far, and I am so proud of you for that.
    Your feelings matter, and what you are feeling is valid.
    Cheers, friend. It'll be okay.

My brain will be somewhat calm but my body(hands&legs) will slightly shake and make me uneasy. I’m still in the gym working out but I’m listening to this and the video isn’t done but it works for sure. I can feel my body start to relax and the anxiety fade away. Thank you so much!

    I cannot thank you enough for getting me through a PA this time. I was driving to the cabin in the middle of nowhere and it hit me the hardest in months. I was alone in the car, no meds with me and a horrible mix of sensations just fell onto me. I even felt my fingers go numb a little. I couldn't stop driving, it would make me feel even worse. I stopped for a second to start playing the video and kept driving. I felt much better after 5 minutes and by the end of the video I was completely fine. Made it safely to the cabin and took a nap right away! Thank you SO much

    I just had my first panic attack in over a year, and my first panic attack since I stopped disassociating, making it one of my worst ones yet. I had two consecutive panic attacks laying in my sibling’s lap and my dad came in causing it to get worse. I mean completely nonverbal, no more than a second spent each breath, curled up in a ball neatly crying. As what seemed almost like a last-ditch effort they played this. By the time I got up to go back to my room, before the video was even over, I was pretty much falling asleep.
    This video saved me so

    Thank you for this very effective panic talk down. I'm so glad it came up first as I was frantically trying to type for help. 15 minutes ago I couldn't stop myself from thinking that I was going to have a heart attack at any moment. Afraid to stand, afraid to sit, afraid to breathe, trembling uncoordinated from room to room clutching my chest. I'm calm now. My lower back is sore but it's over. Thanks again for providing comfort. Such a relief.

    Currently going through anxiety attack. I feel my chest is tight and I get scared by my heart beats, thinking the worst. This video is an amazing help, if I can concentrate on the voice it helps me relax immensely. I can’t seem to sleep though, i feel myself drifting off to sleep and then I stop breathing since I am not concentrating on breathing and then my heart pounds and the cycle continues. Hope I and everyone else can get better from these attacks.

    I can't express how much this has helped. Both the video and the comment section made me feel so much less alone in this time. Ever since the war I became more sensitive psychologically, and I often get overstimulated which leads to panick attacks. They usually happen during nighttime and it's so hard to deal with and hold on to reason and breathing. This helped so much, probably going to put this on repeat. Thank you immensely ❤

    I have suffered with an anxiety and panic disorder for over 14 years. I self medicated for many years which means that even this far down the road, I’m learning to breathe and be mindful.
    I have used this video several times now at the point where I’m feeling anxious and the physical effects of an attack are starting. Zipping and zinging from my heart to my fingertips and back, then cartwheeling over my chest 😅
    I find this video very effective and I love the fact that the video regularly tells you that you are safe, this has been very important to me.
    This is an effective video for anyone who needs it. It is worth learning breathing techniques to use alongside as often they can help to stem the growth of panic, and control anxiety.
    I like the fact that the video goes straight into soothing because I start breathing sensibly before I even put it on… and with this video I don’t need to wait through any breathing exercises.
    I hope that everybody who needs to hear it realises that you are safe, we are safe, anxiety won’t kill you, but not getting help might. Love xxx

    I was experiencing a horrible panic attack. My head went numb, my arms and legs tingled, i thought i was on the verge of a stroke and I listened to this and it helped me so much. I hate having to go through this. Im terrified it'll happen again tonight.😢
