I love this doctor. "The feeling is uncomfortable, but not dangerous". I want my anxiety and panic attack to be triggered. I am not afraid anymore, unfortunately they just disapperared. I cannot trigger them anymore no matter what I do.
God has given you a chance now search for truth, you will be in real peace. in your book of religion their are saying about last prophet (P.B.U.H), search study by ur self, or watched , Peace Tv English, don't follow blindly search
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "what does it mean to have an anxiety attack" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Supreme Panic Magic - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.
How would you deal with this panic if it happens while driving on a highway and feel that your brain is overloaded and like being chocked by this feeling. Thanks
He makes so much sense. I'm glad I found these videos of him here. I honestly do not trust psychologists. I've gone to see them and It's just a waste of time and money. I wanted to see a psychiatrist, but they're sooo expensive. I've become to realize that the only one who can help me it's myself. I've tried what Dr. Barry says even before I found his videos about embracing the moment when you feel is coming and accepted it. Normally it happens to me while I'm driving and I get caught between cars at a red light or traffic jam and I just go: " Ok, just do your thing, cmon, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" and it is indeed very uncomfortable, but I know it will go away. Now that I listen to Dr Barry, I smile because he is sooo right and understands exactly that horrible feeling of the panic attack and how we should face it and not avoid it and that's something I've actually done myself. Face it, accept it and keep going. Another way to help myself is to live the present. This very moment, this minute and not to be thinking about what's gonna happen in 5 minutes. Because when my do it, my brain is already anticipating and focusing that I'm gonna get stuck in traffic and no way to turnaround, and my anxiety starts to emerge. Thank you Dr Barry, I will buy your book.
I've been having chronic panic all day everyday pretty much for the last month, and before that a few things in my daily life would trigger it. Now its just getting out of bed and walking around! When he says you can beat it for life, just by facing the enemy once, brought a tear to my eye! Because it's becoming so wearing and affecting me, having a tight chest and short of breath all day every day!
I used to feel that I am only one who gets anxiety on so simple things because I used to see my friends so normal on every situation they go but when I read the comments and saw what Dr. Said about what happens when we go through it . Honestly I go through all this daily and at night I just think of it and say to myself why I am I like this because I used be very confident earlier and now I see myself as a person full of anxiety I do prepare my self because I know it will going to happen and I tell to myself I will deal with it but I must say when you get over in that situation nothing works still on seeing Dr. Video which says Anxiety is just uncomfortable but not dangerours.I will try my best to overcome through it and making myself beleive that it is not dangerous , I have to deal with it nomatter what, I just can ruin my life with this, I just can't miss the opportunities in life because of this. Thank you for sharing such a video. I will going to practice it and I wish that I'll overcome through it.
Thank you Dr Barry I had continuous panic attack for a week until I found your video. Now I understand the reasons for the panic attack. As you said face it and challenge it, I stayed alone in a corner and challenge the panic attack to come but it didn't came I think it's gone forever from me. Thank you for this beautiful video doctor.
I have been having these Anxiety Panic attacks since April 15 2022 and the feelings I get are fear,worry pain in my eyes, sleeplessness, pain in my neck and legs but I have gotten better by applying these strategies
I have found you very helpfull Dr Barry,thank you so much for your videos, I have told others who also suffer this horrible feeling to watch your videos and get the help I have.
The problem is when you don't believe what you are having is just a panick attack and you think your dying. You can't keep calm and say oh this isn't dangerous. Ouch
Never wanted to look into why I have them , because I thought it would cause me more anxiety . Glad I did - think most people have heard it's Fight or Flight happening . But I would always say - Nothing was going on , I guess my adrenalin thought so . Now I will just ignore what they are doing to me . Unless I'm getting Chased or threatened bodily - by a real person . I want to laugh now that I know - it sure is not a laughing matter while you experiencing one :(
I suffer from exactly what you describe Mary, it’s like how do I confront something that is with me constantly? It gets to the point where my mind is a complete panicking mess 10 hours a day. I hope you find relief.
He makes it sound so easy but in reality it’s not! I think you have to be very confident and get your mind ready to be able to approach this. I’ve been trying CBT for a very long time for agoraphobia, GAD and panic disorder and still having great difficulties.
Stephen Pratt You have no choice if you're suffering though. How can facing it be more terrifying than facing the symptoms? Suffering for 20 years from panic here.
I think the problem is with me, saying uncomfortable is easy. My body goes into a petrified shock. Hot and cold flushes. I've turned and faced it before staring it straight in the eyes and it tortured me regardless. I completely lose my head. Hot and cold chills, it's true torture x
In my opinion there is place for drugs because there's nothing "simple" about panic attacks. Do whatever you can to feel better. Of course depending on drugs will not solve the issue BUT only the people who actually suffer PANIC attacks know how hard it is to apeace them.
The symptoms of anxiety are not dangerous you say, but if your body has experienced these symptoms for a period of time the effects of these symptoms can affect health, repeated high stress levels due to anxiety or panic can affect the heart or blood pressure etc
Does this apply to just panic attacks that come and go. What about me I have anxiety almost all day with a tightness in my stomach and panic feeling along with dp/dr.
it will help, not to think negative, if negative thoughts coms dont follow them, dont be afraid of negative thoughts they will come but they are just thoughts, dont follow them...
search pn Google, or one Twitter etc, but not to search treatment coz anxiety is not an illness, one just anwar of it, once you notice it then every time a negative thought com, just dnt follow it... cycle of negative thoughts cause panic attacks, and panic attack is uncomfortable but not dangerous... it will never harm you
ok so the question is, how do I go with these symptoms that get so bad sometimes they make me wanna die right then and there? how do I accept and endure them? We instinctually run away from pain and fear and try to stop it. How do i go against my instincts?
Gemini Girl embrace it. Practice and practice. It will subside. Think of it like a mosquito bite, it's itchy and annoying but you accept it won't harm you and it will go away. Probably not the best example but, I hope you get the picture lol.😊
Gemini Girl I know that. First, I made sure that the symptoms aren't dangerous. I went to the doctor, they did tests and they told me that I was fine and that panic can't kill me (Not as easy as it sounds to accept during a panic attack). I then moved to the next stage: exposure. I would force myself to go through these scenarios that caused severe panic attacks. First I would go with a friend and then slowly alone. I know how bad these things are but try to let it happen, DON'T resist it, relax your muscles and let that feeling in your stomach do its thing. I would love for you to try the iLovePanicAttack "course" from a man that I'm so glad exists named Geert. I'm in week 1 and I'm already cracking jokes and laughing WHILE I'm having a severe one. It's hard because the symptoms get overwhelming. My mindset is that I would rather die (completely impossible during panic attack) during a panic attack than living my whole life afraid. In anxious times your brain will try to talk you out of it, that you would rather live with fear than die. That's why you gotta plan something and stick with it even if it feels completely unintuitive at the moment of the panic attack (It always does).
اصبت عين الحقيقة المواجهة خير من الفرار ، استفدت كثيرا من معرفة حقيقة النوبات وكيف اتعامل معها وارتحت كثيرا واصبحت شي من الماضي ، الحمد لله هو الشافي المعافي ، اسأل الله الشفاء لكل مريض والعيش في نعمة الصحة والعافية وراحة البال ،،،
I'm like that too. However, my doctor said it's not that dangerous as it is just a temporary spike. It is actually the body's way to handle the situation. You just have to keep your body in good shape by lifestyle changes and try your best to control your anxiety. The moment I learned about this I started to be more relax and had help me with lowering my bp during attacks as well.
Take benzos plus betz blockers consulting doctor. ( atenolol) moderte exercise and practise deep and slow breathing 3 to 5 times a day. Lavender almost cures panic surges.
What about anxiety that is present 100% of every waking hour? I don’t know what has caused it, I don’t even remember when it started. But I do know that it’s not reasonable to expect a person to live with it. Any ideas? This guys ideas here will not help me. This guy is talking about a panic attack brought about from a specific, known reason.
May be one of the incidents of your past which you gave an highly emotional reaction to...has taken a snapshot of that particular incident and has locked it in your brain ..and whenever you try to associate more memories with it or you form new scary associative memories bcoz of your negative thinking..has made the situation and the emotional reaction stronger...which is why you unconsciously stated experiencing it ..but then...you actually forgot where it stated but remembered only how it bothers you...so...go deeply inside...and understand whats the original cause of it
Just relax........ Practice slow and deep breathing ( 4-2-7 or 4-2-5) abdominal breathing ( see on net) do it for 5 minutes 4-5 per day. Flash cold water frequently on eyes. Don't drink too much coffee, tea, alcohol. Abstain from cigarette nicotine ( caffeine and nicotine are best triggers). Take beta blockers with advice of doctor. ( I control panic attacks with metaprolol from 20 yrs) don't loose the hopes. It's just a minor mental problem, which terror you like a majore problem.
And worry now about it because everything I read on line is that daily anxiety effects blood pressure and now I took mine and it’s higher than normal every time I take it, how can I relax my mind?
Always annoys me when most mental health Dr's repeat always about them not being dangerous as if that's the ONLY problem with them! It's not. So yeh I know I'm not gonna die but losing all self control over my emotions, so much so that I can't focus concentrate take in information or have any sort of a normal social interaction without getting all sorts of awkward looks isn't fun. Impossible to function normally in the midst of an anxiety attack amd that itself can be dehibilating and problematic enough. Whether I'm safe or not makes no difference
