100% real world scenarios and examples are a massive part of what make me realise I’m not alone. I often forget that it’s not just me, in theory of course I know there are hundreds if not thousands of people who suffer just like me but in the moment it feels as if I’m the only one feeling this immense and heavy pain and panic.

yes! It's super interesting to know other people's experiences with panic attacks. Just one thing, and I hope you don't mind me giving you some feedback! I was watching this while having dinner. Between your commentary, I had to pause to read the article as you were reading it to yourself, so my suggestion would be to read the article out loud when you are reading it? Thank you for your content, I really appreciate it!

Absolutely do more videos like this. I really enjoyed this video. Seeing real life examples of panic & how people handle it in public offers me new strategies that may help me in a similar situation. It's a reminder too, that other people's reactions are never as bad as I imagine them to be in my nervous brain. It's also a great reminder that I'm not alone in my struggles, and panic attacks are more common than we realize. Love your channel, Peter, thanks for all you do!

My first panic attack was while watching The Human Centipede, some 15 years ago. I had no idea why my body was reacting so intensely. I couldn't believe myself. After that they were sporadic a few times per year, until they became almost weekly. I think, just like you said, it wasn't the movie itself, it was the culmination of a lot of bad habits, lack of self care, and no mental support from my environment. I had recently a few years of no attacks after years of therapy until recently when life became challenging again. But I can recognize them now, and that makes me stronger.

Nov 15, 2019 was my first panic attack. Just before Covid. Became pretty much housebound a few months later for about a year and a half. Just talked to a psychiatrist last Friday to get in a low dose of something to interrupt the cycle I’ve been stuck in and breakthrough the plateau of halfway recovered. Your heart monitor and results video really really helped me when I was in a very dark place. ❤

What about Covid made you anxious? I started getting panic attacks after a weekend where I barely got sleep. I remember I was about to watch a movie before bed and started feeling claustrophobic. Then I got up thinking I just needed fresh air. Next thing you know I was having trouble breathing and my body went cold, my extremities started tingling and my eyesight went weird. I felt like I was about to die. However, I didn’t have anxiety before that. Till this day, I’m not positive what triggered this. I’ve had sleepless nights before and, I experienced high stress but I’ve never experienced this. It was a scary. The next day I started getting derealization that’s when my anxiety spiraled. I didn’t even know I had anxiety. I thought I was going crazy, until I did more research. I remember when I called the 911, and the paramedics came, they asked me what I was afraid of, I remember telling them that I was scared I was going to stop breathing, I also remember my thoughts where just racing. It was so scary. For about a year, I would get panic attacks at night only. They’d wake me out of my sleep.

@mymylefebvre The only way to defeat it is to constantly expose yourself to that place. I had it so bad I became agoraphobic as well but I slowly started going to places like a crowded Costco and letting the anxiety flow over me like a wave and just accept it. It ends so much faster if you don't fight it. After a number of months to a year, I rarely get panic attacks anymore. The confidence of the exposure to these triggers is what helps you get over it. Dr Harry Barry's book "Anxiety and Panic" teaches you about why panic attacks happen and how to defeat them. Very helpful book.

The doc prescribed lexapro but I want to try other alternatives like diet, therapy, and breathing excercises.

I had my first panic attack at the age of 3 or 4. My mum left me on the swing for a moment and went inside the building to give smth back to a friend of hers. I remember feeling safe and happy. On the same playground was a dad with a kid and I didn't realize how strongly my feeling of safety depended on their presence. Suddenly the man got up, took his kid and left. I was so scared that I started to dissociate - I remember the feeling of dread/impending doom, like the sky was about to fall and I was about to suddenly die. It was a beginning of a life long condition triggered by sudden deep feelings of loneliness and vulnerability I get mostly in public spaces. I'm stuck in this loop for almost 40 years. I've built my life kind of around it, avoiding "the dread" the best I could. The exposure therapy is too much for me, I just cannot make myself to do it. I think it is very courageous to go right into it and through it, as you are doing. I'm not as strong as you. Sometimes I dream of just walking down the street with no anxiety whatsoever and these are just the most detailed and beautiful dreams imaginable.

Hi! ( I know this is a bit long so im very sorry) I suffer from Health Anxiety and Ectopics. My ectopics started 2 years ago and they come in waves, on some days i have little to non, on other i have max 30. I know 30 is very very little so im not really complaining because i know others have much more. Im also starting to get used to it. Im 16 and in 3 days i have to go on a 2 day school trip far away from home. Around 600 km away from home and im already starting to panic about it. Im extremely scared of getting ectopics when im that far away from home and i have no idea what to do because it's mandatory. Now again i dont wanna stay at home because i know that will just make the anxiety worser so i wanna put myself up to it and just do it. It's extremely terryfying for it because my panic disorder and anxiety journey started actually 4 years ago on a school trip when i experienced a massive attack there, also far away from home. Since then i have never ever agreed to any school trips. However this time after watching all your videos you have motivated me to risk it and do the exposure therapy. I already know it's going to be bad but im just going to try and accept it. I was wondering, since you have done so many exposures therapy far away from home do you maybe have any tips?

I had my first Panic attack when I was about 21 or 22. I had an old car that didn't have a radio, and I was driving home alone at night. I think it might have been triggered by being alone with my thoughts instead of being distracted by music. Fortunately, it was night and there was no traffic because I was about 20 mins from home and it took me 10 mins to get there. I just knew something was wrong and I had to get home so my mom, a CNA, could help me. I ran into the house in an absolute panic but the second I stepped through the door I felt better. My mom could tell by the look on my face something was wrong I told her what had happened. She took my vitals and everything was fine. I spent years trying to find out what was happening and coming to terms with it. Now in my 40s and dealing with this for so long I am at the point where I can identify its just a panic attack. That doesn't really make me less fearful of them happening, but at least now I have coping mechanisms to get through them without running to the hospital

I'm in recovery for anxiety but i feel like I can't even get a job because I'll have to show up for 8 hours and if I have bad anxiety or a panic attack I'll need to leave and I can't or else I'll get fired. I'm 36 and live with my parents, I've been here for 3 years after my mental health declined greatly. I just feel like if I try to get a job and explain to the manager that I have panic attacks and anxiety that they won't be understanding and they'll let me go because my experiences in the past were not good. I've been harassed by coworkers and fired from jobs for having this disorder. Do you have any advice?
