It's easy to feel that anxiety attacks are freakish, illogical outbursts with no place in a sane life. But given the state of the world, and all the many properly worrying things in it, might they not, in fact, be difficult but logical markers of the utmost sanity?

“You’re on a plane on the tarmac and it’s time to shut the doors. Suddenly, the insanity strikes you. You’ll be in a highly explosive sealed aluminum tube, breathing recycled kerosene-infused air, for the next six-and-a-half hours, with no way of getting off or out. The pilot may be exhausted or inwardly distressed. Air traffic control at any of the 40 waymarks along the journey may get momentarily distracted. You’ll be streaming 5 miles above the surface of the planet. No one else seems remotely sensitive to what any of this implies - they’re chatting and reading magazines - but for you, it’s the beginning of a kind of hell. You are on the verge of giving way to what we currently know as a panic attack…”

The worst part is trying to convince yourself you’re okay, when your mind is doing everything in power to remind you you’re not. I don’t frequently get Anxiety attacks but I’ve suffered a couple of traumatizing ones before. Makes you realize you really have little control over your mind

The worst feeling about having anxiety disorder is when I'm trying to describe my feelings in front of another person, I immediatly start sobbing ,even crying. It's like a bubble that's gonna pop... And it is very frustrating cuz i feel like the other person would be thinking : Why is she so damn sensitive and emotional. But it is not the case, it's just the feeling of being misunderstood.

@briantobias9212 7 лет назад

I suffer from anxiety. I get the mental and the physical symptoms. My body goes numb and starts to tingle right before a full blown attack. I came to realize I would suffer like this this from a "trigger". As I got older, that trigger became more and more obvious to me and began to realize that before I start getting anxious, I would always start thinking what people thought about me. With age, you start to realize that peoples opinions of you don't matter. You are so much happier when you do what YOU want to do, when you do what YOU LOVE. Not what someone else wants you to like or do or say or act like. My anxiety is not 100% fixed yet, but boy let me tell you, I am so much better now-a-days understanding why I had those attacks.

Important question: how did you stop caring? For, I have anxiety and I find it impossible to stop caring about what others think of me.

@psicovirus 7 лет назад

NoirRaven As a guy suffering with anxiety, i think that what helps me not focusing con what people thinks about me is thinking that everyone is so focused con their own image that it doesnt ley them care about other peoples image, think about it, when you are worried about what people think about you, you dont think about other peoples mistakes and so on. It happens to everyone, youll be as important un other peoples eyes as you are un your own. Nobody cares about If tour hair is slightly combed to the left por If your pants are a little wide, they only get a "general" impression of you. I hope i could explain myself, english is not my first language.

@knerf999 7 лет назад

@briantobias9212 7 лет назад

@NoirRaven how old are you? I think age plays a HUGE PART in this. But from my experience, as I grew older, I think I naturally stopped caring so much what people thought of me, I got fed up to the point that I've been like this for so long, that i need to start doing what makes me happy regardless of what people think. When you're younger, it's hard to have this way of thinking.

@GuRuGeorge03 7 лет назад

anxiety for me came from being insecure which came from not knowing how to do stuff. but once I realised that I will never be able to always know what to do I learned to embrace randomness and get excited whenever I ahve the possibility to do something where I do not know what will happen or how I will react. Now I am a completely different person that tries to help people with insecurities and anxiety to get out of that vicious cicle in the same way that I could do it. by stopping to try to control the world and embracing it's randomness instead. being yourself. being weird. finding other weird people and do weird stuff with them. finding logical and "unweird" people to then still be weird and do weird stuff just to see how they react. life is beautiful

@mazorine 7 лет назад

Well I don’t know about how others experience anxiety attacks, but the worst one I had was absolutely uncontrollable. Anxiety and anxiety attacks are very different. On the phone, my ex told me how many girls he’d been with since we broke up. Then I realized I’d started hyperventilating and tried to calm myself down but it got worse so I hung up. Then I started shaking... uncontrollably. Not just a little shake - every muscle in my body was going insane. I think it took me around minute to stop and I was trying so hard. It made me realize how I’m not actually in control of anything I do. I just think I am. It was absolutely awful. I’ll never forget the loss of control I felt that night.

Mykel Walters your incident connects to my nerve so much and to so many incidents of my own, though alan watt's piece on overthinking did help me get an insight on my uncontrollable insights.. i now prefer to be spun out of control rather than controlling the centrifuge of what this video calls, a life..

@Americansikkunt 7 лет назад

Mykel Walters Hmm...It almost sounds like a combination of shock and anxiety. I had an relaxing where I was relaxing with friends, but we got kicked out, and even thought it wasn't a big deal in my opinion, my body apparently did. I was shaking for 2-3 minutes uncontrollably, like violent shivers, but the whole time my mind was like "well, body, this is a rather extreme reaction to that event". Most of the time my anxiety manifests in feeling nervous, and not in such a physical way.

@winterishere440 7 лет назад

@Kisarez 7 лет назад

Charles Kuhn Sorry to hear that, but it might rest you that anxiety is way more common than society's norms prescribe. Anxiety works similar to panic, they can even result in one another. It's resisting that makes it worse. Telling yourself "don't panic! don't get in an anxiety attack!" will only add to the pressure and increase your actual anxiety. It's understanding it to be normal, common even, that will allow you to be okay, and could even lead to insight as to what causes the anxiety in the first place, rather than surpress it (like the video addresses). All the best! :)

I also have anxiety and panic attacks and I agree with you it's just absolutely terrible. For me I start to feel very nauseous and dizzy and even throw up.

@checkmate2489 7 лет назад

Jerjer B, Kisarez - I was wondering if I get anxiety attacks (I think I do). It's because I only have a single trigger, and that's death, or the end of the world. It just makes me panic in a way I can't really describe. I breathe really fast/hard, fall to my knees, start crying, and run my hands through my hair. I'm not sure if this is panic or anxiety, but it would really help to know. Thank you so so so much!

@bolivar1789 7 лет назад

Hi Charles. I am very sorry to hear that. I hope you get better very soon. We ALL need a therapy you know. If you find a good therapist it could truly change the course of your entire life. And may be you should try to see this situation as an opportunity to get to know yourself better and to be kinder towards yourself. But one more thing: let the doctor check your thyroid. If you have "hiperthroiditie", it causes panic attacks too and it is purely physical. Just google it. I wish you a quick recovery.

@rea8585 7 лет назад

The power of anxiety is to tell us that something is not ok the way it is and to show us where we can change and improve. It is not a pleasant feeling and this is why we just want to push it away, but what we can do is instead of fighting it, trying to see what we can learn from it and do differently in the future so we won't feel so anxious in a similar situation. Or simply accept that certain situations make us anxious. This way we are still anxious but way less than if we are trying to run away from it. At least, this is what helps me when anxiety calls...

What I have learned from having those anxiety and panic attacks is that every panic or anxiety is an opportunity to wave with the energy within you so don’t react to it and do not try to fight them Just embrace the energy of the emotions and ride with the wave as you are experiencing them.

This video offers a philosophical viewpoint of anxiety and I'm sure it can appeal to a big audience that does not know anxiety, but I can tell you people that is not as simple as this. Not that the video's goal was to explain anxiety, anyways.

@dannyp2970 7 лет назад

It's philosophy, not medicine.

@bolivar1789 7 лет назад

Hello there ComfyTush! I really don't mean to offend you, but philosophy, when it is explained very well, really is medicine. In fact one book that had helped me enormously in my life is " The Consolations of Philosophy" by Alain de Botton. ( The narrator and the founder of TSOL. ) There he offers us 6 philosophers in six areas where almost all of us have problems. Take a look at it if you wish. He also made documentaries about those philosophers. They are all on youtube. My favourite is " Schopenhauer on Love". Have a nice evening :- )

@KingTheLines 7 лет назад

There is alot of things mentioned, that were spot on, its not a numbing disease, its over thinking and being aware of everything and the realizing of what could happen..in any situation even if no threat is present.. which this video pretty much nailed... imo

@mattd8725 7 лет назад

I'd rather have a computer track stress hormone levels and say if they were within safe limits than listen to some guy say that anxiety is perfectly healthy and normal without even meeting his "patients". Does he really know what he is talking about?

@bolivar1789 6 лет назад

Alexandra these are not Alain's personal videos. He is the founder of this channel. But they are a group of both psychologists and philosophers and they write this stuff together. It is the same with their website The Book of Life. Considering the audience: I am sure it differs from person to person whether they find these videos helpful or not, but I have benefited from this channel enormously. They do help me to think more clearly and suffer a bit less. Well, having said all this, of course I don't mean to offend you. Have a nice Sunday.

@MC-up9nx 7 лет назад

I often find myself admiring people who are too dumb to know better.

@JustPorcupines 7 лет назад

I used to suffer from extreme anxiety, to the point of hyperventilating, tunnel vision, and feeling like I was about to pass out. I often felt like I was losing my mind, this is no exaggeration. Telling people that anxiety is ok, is actually far from ok. I lost weight, became sickly, and even developed hormonal issues, due to the lack of appetite and proper nutrients. When you can't eat for days on end, your body has nothing of real nutritional value to run on, which causes many issues, some of which last for years after. I lost many friends, having developed a crippling social anxiety tends to multiply the issues. I even had anxiety about doing simple things like paying bills or getting my mail. I had truly let myself spiral out of control. I finally learned, after many medications, and failed attempts, that I had the power to get better... The key was in my own head. Analyzing each anxious thought, as difficult as it can be, and reassuring myself that worrying did more harm than good, was my way out. Can any of you solve problems when feeling anxious, in the same ways you can when you are feeling balanced? Most can't. I couldn't. Over the course of a few weeks I improved dramatically and pulled myself out of anxiety for good. It's been nearly 8 years since then and I do still have to keep those thoughts at bay, but I've become much more aware of everything as a result and live a much happier life. The problem with this video, is it implies that we should embrace those chains of anxiety. Yes, people need to understand it better and become less judgemental toward those suffering in their own mental prison, but saying it's ok just disgusts me. It's not ok to suffer.

@archankumarmyana40 7 лет назад

Don't Worry About It He is saying exactly what you are saying. But you are unable to understand it. You took medication and drugs when you felt worried about your anxiety and realized that not worrying is the real solution which is in your own head. Is that not what he is trying to say. Not to consider it as a disease and not to worry about anxiety because it is just an effect of living in this chaotic world. When you realize this and not worry then you will get rid of anxiety. It's like 'you cannot sleep when you try to sleep. You sleep when you let go and feel relaxed.'

Yes, I think so too. He makes out like an anxiety attack is controllable if only we think differently about it. it IS a biological response to certain stimuli. It can no more be controlled through thought alone than you can control your heart rate.

@aaronoliver9075 7 лет назад

it can be controlled through therapy and sometimes medication

@dannyp2970 7 лет назад

I don't think he asks people to control it, instead he asks for people to think of it as a sane response to an event. The video shows some a different way of thinking about something that could possibly help you cope with life better. It's philosophy, not medicine.

@yuzusaburou4942 7 лет назад

It's not that, bro. the video is meant to make people who don't have anxiety disorder realize that it's justified to have an anxiety disorder. it's designed to make you think: well, shit, he's right ._. why the fuck am I not anxious with every fucked up thing there is and other shit ? So then maybe it would make them realize that Anxiety disorder isn't some sort of "made up" disorder like a lot of people think or something you can make better easily, because the problem is bigger than that.

If you're suffering from anxiety, please know it CAN get better. As a teenager and in my 20s, I had crippling anxiety (both panic attacks and just general anxiety). I recently turned 40 and for the past decade is has gotten a lot better. I still deal with it somewhat, but it's much more manageable. I used to have trouble even applying for a job - let alone keeping one. I've been at my job now for 11 years.

@SnarkyPhilo 7 лет назад

I was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder some time ago. it effects everything from my physical health to my ability to go out in the world, my memory, etc. I don't medicate myself, but it is legitimatley a disability. I thought the take on anxiety here is intersting but there is something of a danger in it as well in completely dismissing the severity of it. There are people that do need medicatio just to function in the world, there are people who live genuinely miserable lives with it, or who are encumbered to the point that they have a hard time keeping up. Not to say that thre isn't insight into misery of course, but even wisdom has to also work in concert of being able to live. So interesting stance, but I can't agree fully to this.

@valesagalbert9430 2 года назад

I've been on both sides mine got so bad I needed medicine,but after awhile I realized that the medicine was just numbing me not really help me colt with My Anxiety,but my counselor was teaching me new ways to think about thing's that I knew all along but the anxiety was blocking those thoughts,but when she help me I Got it and I got better Don't get me wrong some people do need the medicine,but some people just think they do, because most times that's what the doctor presents to you but that's not always true the counseling helps a lot people do think you crazy when you tell them you just have to know your not and stand up to them and say sometimes people get counseling to keep from going crazy not,because they are you should try it and then the mean people will get out of your face and counseling helps you learn how to do that for your self and you feel slot better I do no😊🤗

@erin6747 7 лет назад

Disagreeing with this one. General anxiety is far different from anxiety and panic attacks. Medication for anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, and it definitely isn’t blocking out “wisdom”. It helps a lot of people just get through the day. Having an anxiety disorder doesn’t mean the person is enlightened, it means the person has a (very treatable and often curable) mental illness. Feeling anxiety due to stimuli is completely different, and in some cases can be enlightening. Misleading title?

I think your interpreting it all wrong. Philosophy isn't medication or therapy, it's just a way of thinking. I see a lot of people in this thread being angry, but the video never mentions or condemns medication or therapy. It's simply a way of thinking, not a coping mechanism for anxiety. I think it's an interesting new way of thinking about anxiety, and I'm going to college today interpreting anxiety through this lense while I'm still fairly not anxious.

@erin6747 7 лет назад

The idea that your anxious thoughts are the ultimate truth and that feeling good or normal is an illusion are the exact same insidious thoughts I have when I begin to have a panic attack. This video is incredibly misguided and destructive. It's validating everything I fear most in those moments to be true. Even if this video were somehow factually correct, the consequential effect of it on people's mentality's could be devastating. My head tries to convince me that everything is wrong somehow when I'm in an extremely anxious state in order to make it worse. It does this thinking that that is the best for me because I must be in a life threatening situation (which I never am). If I let it, this video coming from such a usually reliable source could completely tear apart every grip on reality and healing I've worked so hard to reestablish. It's good to feel like you have a grip on reality, and is hard when others try to redefine it. I could have left this alone but I want to tell my piece and hopefully prevent someone else from taking this video as fact.

@captainstark5496 5 лет назад

@quagenheimer 7 лет назад

The timing of this video seems very convenient. I suffered a panic over the weekend which made me feel like my throat was closing up and I was suffocating. It was distressing enough to warrant a trip to the ER late at night. The people there were very supportive and helped me calm down. Much of my anxiety stems from hypochondria and wanted to succeed. I've tried cognitive behavioral therapy for over a year but my anxiety has worsened. It feels refreshing to get some kind of outlook on this while I try to find a psychiatrist.

@fistoffries 7 лет назад

Anxiety is what happens when you realize that there is nothing more special about you than any other person you read about in the paper being killed, tortured, kidnapped, or falling victim of some tragedy. You realize that you are a foot note in most people's lives and its only a matter of time that you will be spoken of in the 3rd person, past tense or simply as a pitiful cautionary tale.

@viciousandchaotic 7 лет назад

I think its somewhat comforting to be told that its a rational reaction to the stresses of life. however I think its fair to medicate and illness if one so chooses. when you cannot sleep because you are wide awake in throws of the most primal instinct of fear, and this sensation is so strong you may not go about your life in a normal way, and you begin to become ill from not sleeping or not eating, or from the toll that stress in general has been proven to show on your actual physical health (even DNA is shown to change when a person is under extreme stress). you are put in a situation where it makes sense to treat this illness.

Say things like "It's not an issue that affects me this very hot minute", "I don't know how to handle this now, but I can do some little something about it", "tomorrow is a new day", "if my life/health was at risk right now, I'd just know it and I'd definitively do something about it", "I guess I'm fine!".

Can you suggest anything I can personally do for him?

That no matter WHAT he has you to fall back on and get inspired and that there's a lot of things in this world to live for. Just remind him that whatever he is doing is okay and that all the little things he's fretting about won't even matter a few days from now....

@soothingsoundsbypearl5366 2 года назад

Had my first panic attack almost 16 years ago. Everything was going very well in my life. I was a senior in HS, got to leave early every day because I did so well the previous year. Had lots of friends. Went to parties. Played in a band i really enjoyed playing in. Sitting in a class with kids and a teacher I'd known for 4 years (some longer even) and boom, I felt this sudden panic and terror, I felt sick and like I had to get out of the class as soon as possible. Went to the health room and lied down for a bit. 20 mins later I was back in class like nothing happened. Today, I'm 32 and currently suffering some of the worst anxiety I've had in over a decade. No amount of deep breathing or relaxing or exercising or walking or anything makes it go away. And it's been a year since it crept back into my life after almost 5 years of peace. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. But I know I don't suffer alone.

Devin The Dude. Oh, no! Don't get me wrong. I feel no special nor I think that anxiety nor any disorder makes me deserve any special treatment. I actually think that the problem is not that they are recognizing its common place, but that they are saying it's no sickness. Even if anxiety disorders are common among all the population (and I am actually quiet normal statistically speaking), they should not be denied their place as a problem per se. It's the same as flu. Even if everyone gets flu several times in their life, and it's nothing to shame; it doesn't mean we should embrace it and say that it's not a problem and treatingly it medically is bad.

While I appreciate that you're acknowledging that anxiety attacks are common and not necessarily an irrational response to a crazy world, you take it a bit far here - if you've ever had an anxiety attack (as I did regularly, whenever I was away from home without my family between the ages of 9-19 years old), you'll know that they are deeply unsettling and distressing to experience. I think you sort of trivialised the issue here.

@banisan2035 7 лет назад

I agree, that anxiety has its uses. It is simply a signal, that your current input is overwhelming. That things feel out of control. It's a touch of realization about the inevitable craziness of the world. I agree. It does not need to be exterminated. However, as a sufferer of GAD, I also feel how painful excessive anxiety can be. Having even relatively mild anxiety attacks on a daily basis is an immense source of suffering. And a prolonged feeling of "lack of control" or "being overwhelmed", is just... awful.

@dirtfisherman3489 7 лет назад

How Absolutely Awesome is a video such as this. That provides a forum in which we can find one another & openly share/discuss our thoughts & experiences regarding anxiety/panic attacks. I find forums such as this extremely helpful. They expose just how many other deal with the very same situation! I find the realization that, "I am not alone," nor ever have been very comforting!! Because,for me, when anxiety strikes I use too feel like I was from some far away,distant planet. I felt I needed to escape, hide from everyone & suffer the attack alone,by myself. This belief then fueled the situation even more. However, "NOT ANY MORE"!!! So I give a big thanx to any & all who take the time to share their thoughts & experiences. Also thank you too The School of Life for creating this video! : )

@arottie4097 7 лет назад

Great comment. I agree the feelings that I am the only one that could possibly deal with these horrible feelings does indeed make the anxiety even worse! Just to have some body around that really knew what was going on. Some one that you did not feel you had to hide these feeling from. I could see how that could be very helpful during & after an attack. I know it take me quite awhile to feel right after I have dealt with an anxiety attack.

@jackie7061 7 лет назад

I hope this helps people understand that being aware isn't a disease. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and have full-blown panic attacks, mostly in my sleep. It's taken me years to understand my own experience (and this is my own experience) that there was a point where I became hyper aware of everything and that was because my dad would go into verbal assaults on us out of nowhere. I mean, sitting there watching tv and walking in to tell say how disgusting we are. Later in life I learned that this was verbal abuse from an unpredictable alcoholic who had his own trauma and was passing it on. Anxiety was for me, at it's root, prepping myself for the onslaught (even though they were entirely unpredictable); becoming hyper-aware of what was going on and how to (fruitlessly) prevent it. This spilled over into my adolescence of being bullied by kids and later on employers/ clients. It was a learned way of surviving. Once it's turned on, it can't be turned off without a lot of relearning if at all. Someone who goes to war can't un-see what they've seen and pretend that evil doesn't exist without it coming out in other ways. Not to say there isn't ways of coping (cognitive relearning, meditation, not going to the immediate brain shutter-uppers like alcohol) but it isn't as simple as people would like it to be so they don't have to see you suffer. All these perspectives help people understand people a little more so thanks for this.

@HariChera Год назад

I have had exactly this type of anxiety attacks which I still get close to. Thinking about how no one knows what we are here for and what anything is here for and all we get is some years to figure this out and then not figure it out and turn to dust... Or to nothing. Nothing at all. This actually has given me anxiety attacks which makes me feel I'd pass out any minute.

i'm sick and tired of psychiatrists and psychologists trying to pump me full of medication when i merely want to understand my anxiety and anxiety attacks so i can cope with it and make something beautiful out of it instead of pushing it away. there is a reason my mind is reacting like this. i want to get to the root cause and treat it there. medication might find some relief but so can alcohol and heroin. they aren't longtime answers.

@wtrbns 7 лет назад

Well, try to find what your attacks have in common (environment, timing,thinking pattern) , maybe that will get you to figure out the root cause. If you're able to pinpoint it, think about how and if you could handle exact the event right now. It's like your brain telling you to be afraid of a pit, because you fell in it once. Reassuring your brain that you have the ability to walk around it now might calm it somewhat. (if your anxiety attacks stem from a child trauma this is even more effective, since you're now probably able to handle the things that happened to you as a child) In any case, best of luck!

@pbmackauz1280 7 лет назад

try exposing yourself to what makes you get anxiety, so that you anxiety loses the grip it has on you, at first expose yourself a little and then do something that calmes you down, then expose yourself abit more and do something to calm you down and repeat this for as long as it takes.

@sababelay574 2 года назад

One year ago, I learnt 2 things about anxiety attacks: 1) no one was dead because of anxiety attack. NO ONE. 2) it happens when our mind or our body or both believe that we are in danger. So our brain prepares us to a fight or tu run. This is why blood pressure is higher, our body is shaking and digestive organs don't work in a proper way. So now, when I have panic attacks, I tell to myself: "I am safe. I can't die and I notice the danger I feel. I will do what I can to prevent the danger.". And I try to understand what the danger and I DO something to prevent it. It helps a lot. Maybe it will help someone else to know that. Take care ❤️

I like your channel, but i have had anxiety (attacks) in my life and read quite a lot about the subject. And the picture you paint seems to be rather romantic; that it is mostly about extra sensitivity and hightened awareness of the dangers in life. As far as i know; anxiety- and anxiety attacks are more about the disconnect between body and mind (usually happening because of some kind of traumatic event in the past) and/or strong emotions that one pushed- and still pushes away and need for it to be felt and/or (usually due to a sudden panic attack) falsly linked 'fight or flight' instinct that kicks in at a certain moment and/or severe stress signal (like an alarm) that you have been overloading yourself with adrenaline for too long and/or that your way of feeling about yourself (selfhatred) or the world is breaking you apart (without you perhaps realizing it). All this is what i have always heard and read about the cause of panic and anxiety (attacks)....

@tobiasbeer2689 7 лет назад

it's important to distinguish an occasional, even rare event from a sustained condition... which appears why often a significant number of irritated or angry comments show up around here to the nature of how "simpistic" this or that video was, if not "entirely wrong" or just "stupid" and "superficial" in other words, it seems of need to always make sure that both sides to that coin are addressed equally, the "you've exprienced this (before)" vs. "your life is ruled by this, anytime, all the time, uncontrollably" (!) Perhaps there is the idea that the remedy or "insight" applies to both ends of the severty spectrum. However, it seems, at least from the reaction, that this is not the case. To the contrary. Those who suffer at the severe end tend to rather fiercly reject these portraits as... superficial at best. After all, such a video will draw attention to many who suffer from said condition, since that's probably how Google's or RU-vid's matching algorithms work.

You don't understand. There is no logic behind it. You can't "control" because it is not something controllable. You are oversimplifying a complex problem, and comparing it to sex is not doing us any favors. Is sex triggered by a chemical inbalance in your brain or trauma? No, you have sex because you are biologically inclined to it, it is normal. Anxiety is not normal, it is a mental problem and sometimes can be a handicap.

@skepticalorganism7820 7 лет назад

@matheus " " No, you have sex because you are biologically inclined to it, it is normal. Anxiety is not normal,"" You just defeated your own argument, in your first comment you call anxiety biological and normal, in your second comment you call anxiety as NOT normal hence implying not biological.

@matheusmelo6022 7 лет назад

No, I didn't. Do all people suffer of anxiety? No, they don't, it's a minority that is plagued by this problem and SOME of them are required to take medicine to fix it.

But sometimes anxiety is out of control to the point where treatment (which sometimes includes medicine) is needed. That shouldn't be the first or only treatment, other stuff like cognitive behavioral therapy, diet, physical activity etc can also be a great help, but sometimes anxiety medication really can be a good option for people.

Great video, lovely animation. However, anxiety is VASTLY DIFFERENT than anxiety attacks. Panic attacks make you feel as if you are dying or going to die, and are absolutely unmistakably horrible, and although they're usually not fatal, can kill people with weak hearts. I have generalized anxiety disorder, meaning attacks, social anxiety, and a persistent acute anxiety that is always there, making even standing in line somewhere physically unbearable. Even as bad as generalized anxiety is, its nothing compared to an attack. I can confirm like others here in the comments though, your anxiety WILL subside as you get older. You simply learn how to control it better with time.

Your videos are always so beautifully prepared and so thought provoking. Personally, as someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I've found the only way to gain any semblance of peace is to utterly deny the apparently "rational" explanations my mind gives me to inspire terror. My mind, unlike that of most people, is exceptionally good at finding reasons to be terrified. For example, my own heartbeat. For decades, anytime I became remotely aware of it, I was absolutely certain I was about to die from a heart condition that didn't exist. Open heart surgery was imminent. I was about to die slowly, splayed open on an operating table. All because I walked up the stairs in a hurry. The advice in this video is probably wonderful for people without this sort of deep, complicated, obsessive mindstate. There are many legitimate reasons to feel fear in the odd situations we experience in our lives, absolutely. The extremes of anxiety disorders, like my own, are, thankfully, rare. Many otherwise normal people can probably experience the occasional anxiety attack of some degree. But, waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, shivering in panic without any idea why, over and over again, is certainly no way to live. If you're one of these, please, go find a therapist and a doctor you can trust and get help. To quote my therapist: "You don't have to live like this."

If I'm going to have an anxiety attack.. My heart rate raises. I get chills and shake.. And if it gets really bad.. It can make me feel sick. I have a monitor on my wrist at all times and it really helps. It can usually sense an anxiety attack coming on before I can.
