Donny has always shown so much empathy and compassion toward others. He was put on stage when he was so young. I can't imagine the kind of pressure he grew up with. I remember the encouragement and kindness he showed to Susan Bowles. He was wonderful to her. Donny is helping others by talking about panic attacks. It is one of the most painful experiences to have to deal with.

I have been a fan of the Osmond family since 1973. My admiration for Donny only grows when he shares something so personal. May God continue to bless him and the entire Osmond family.
The more videos i watched about Donny the more i love and respect him i can totally relate to this having anxiety and panic attack is such a scary feeling it scared the living s*it out of me Donny is my hero
If I could give Donny the biggest hug, I would. Him and his family have been through SO many ups and downs. I also wish that I could tell Donny (at that time) that it's perfectly fine to be imperfect. Thanks for sharing this Dave. Have an affirmation Wednesday and stay mindful...📺💜😒🤔🤗
Poor Donny! I'm so sorry he went through that! I'm glad he got the help he needed! I think he and all the Osmonds are amazing! They've been through some tough times but they continue to shine! I love them!!!
I LOVE THIS MAN💜 He's always shared so much with his fans. I too suffered from Anxiety Disorder in my early twenties and got cured through intensive therapy and exposure. Thank you Donny for shedding a light on this sometimes mysterious malady!! God bless you🤗
are you fine now? would you like to share your experience. I am nearing 40. and now I feel I cannot go about having a normal life. Worried about my future. Yet to marry and have kids. All my dreams are looking like it would be unachievable. Family and friends won't understand it either.
I can relate to these feelings so well. The world teaches you nothing but perfection. Failure is not an option. Now I have taught myself that failure is indeed a part of life. I don’t do the houseproud thing anymore. I don’t stress if I can’t get up one day out of bed. I live with it. On good days I do better. On bad days I throw the towel in. It’s peace of mind that matters, my peace comes in knowing what I do or don’t do is enough. I’m not surprised Donny went through this, and Jay Marie. Jimmy Merrill, in fact all of the Osmond’s. Being the one take Osmond’s caused so much anxiety in their future lives. My mum taught me the best lesson with her favourite song from Doris Day. Kai Sara sera, whatever will be will be. God bless you Donny and all The Osmond’s. I couldn’t have done what you all did, a powerful legacy you all achieved, but at a cost. ♥️🙏♥️👏👏👏🙌

Dave, thank you. You give us great clips featuring the family we all love and love to remember. A lot of them are light and fun and they are timeless. Then you have today's video. I never knew Donny struggled with this. As a childhood abuse survivor I have PTSD and general anxiety and dealing with it is a lifetime struggle. It is life-altering to find and develop the coping skills that work best for you. It gives you a feeling of power and positive self-image to fight the monster of panic and know that while you have not completely defeated the panic, you gave that panic a couple of punches that were very effective. Again, thank you for this video today and for all of your tireless work on this channel. 🤗
Been there done that, the battle continues! It never goes away you just learn how to deal with it! Well done Donny for getting through the worst of it. I've had performance anxiety at an amateur level so I can only imagine what its like on a professional level.
I feel for Donny, I suffer from panic attacks. I suffer from dizziness and was walking home I fell in a parking lot. I remember my chin bouncing off the curb. From then on I'm 😨afraid of falling again.
Donny, I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I completely understand how this can impact your life. I have panic disorder, social anxiety, depression and C-PTSD. All I can tell you is be kind to yourself, do something nice everyday just for yourself.. my heart truely goes out to you. Love & hugs from Canada.
I'm taking singing lessons and singing in the choir of a pretty big church. I have a recital next month. It's hard, but I'm gonna do it!! Very inspiring video!
You always remember your first panic attack....others don't understand if they haven't experienced it! I was brought up feeling like I had to be perfect...

He always seemed so at ease on stage. Never knew he had stage fright when he was younger. But I noticed Donny changed after he did the Broadway play, Little Johnny Jones. Because the reviews were bad and the reviewers attacked him personally, I could tell he took it really hard. As someone who grew up watching him, I noticed that he was not himself anymore. He grew the beard, the light disappeared from his eyes, and looked very ill at ease in front of the camera . . . I could literally see that he was afraid to smile and be himself, for fear of being called "cute or goody-goody or corny" or whatever. I could tell he was very self conscious about smiling. When he did Joseph and got excellent reviews, the pressure was now on for him, and I guess that's why he started freaking out. He wanted that new success and to prove himself to the critics so badly that when he finally got it, he was terrified of losing the positive attention he was getting suddenly. Rolling Stone saying the worst day in rock n roll history is the day Donny Osmond was born hurt him beyond belief. And there was another comment where someone said "his mother should have aborted him." Okay, his image during The Donny & Marie Show wasn't considered to be "cool" but the comments were extremely mean spirited. And the light in his eyes did eventually come back, which is great . . . but I think those emotional scars will always be there. Social anxiety is a horrible thing to live with.
Wow. Poor Donny. Those are terrible things for him to go through. I do think that maybe if he realized his career wasn't everything, (which would be extremely hard to do, since he'd grown up in the spotlight.) then he could've gotten over some of the things a bit better.
@@osarecool Well he got a lot of attention and was very popular earlier in his career . . . as teen idol, yes, but he enjoyed those years immensely. In fact, when he talks about "Osmondmania" his face lights up and he always talks about those years as being a "blast". And then suddenly, he became a punch line and got no respect from the critics or the public either. Radio stations refused to play his records. You'd think he committed a crime or something. He used to be able to fill Madison Square Garden, and then suddenly he couldn't even sell out at a small theater and was being called a "has been". Michael Jackson even told him that he had to change his name because his name was "poison". It hurt him . . . because saying that his name was "poison" meant that "HE HIMSELF was poison" because he was "Donny Osmond" after all. The industry completely turned their backs on him. He didn't want to be thought of as a "joke" and he wanted respect and to be taken seriously. Anybody would want that. It's not so much that his career was everything to him, but it was the personal hurt he felt for being sort of "bullied and teased" by the critics and the public in general. It really cut him deep.
@@LuvTadnDixie that is the reason I think critics hurt the stars more, they get bullied by them & sometimes worse than that, it has happened to my favorite movie actress & she was hurt too.
@@alicehenderson7983You have to have one hell of a thick skin to be in show business. Some people get treated like royalty and some people just get cruelly tossed aside. I actually felt really sorry for Justin Bieber. He won an award and when he went up to accept it, he actually got boo'd by the audience and he was still just a teenager at the time. This is an audience full of adults, and they boo'd him. That's just disgraceful. No wonder he went down a dark path. But you have to respect Donny for getting through the tough times though. He went through a lot.
He's displaying the effects of growing up with ridiculously high expectations. It's really sad that their father was abusive and expected too much from them. They all seem like really good people. 💔❤
I completely understand how Donny feels and yes , you are never cured. You learn to manage as best you can. I started with panic when I married at 17 to a 32 yr old man. I felt his family was perfect, and by golly I need to be too. I am 71 now that family have all passed, but I still have to use my coping skills.
My first panic attacks happened when I was 13, I just didn't know at that time what it was, just that I hoped it would never happen again. In my late 30's was when I saw a shrink who explained to mem what had happened to me. Over the next 6 years, I would learn about how severe my mental health was. I've been through every anti-depressant they make and none of them did a thing for me. Thankfully Klonopin was a huge help for the panic attacks and it still helps keep them at bay. I will still get one that comes from nowhere and it is so horrific. I feel bad hearing about others who've gone through the same thing.

I've been going through panic attacks since the pandemic started. But I had problems when I was in my teens, so it just flared up during the pandemic. It's under control now but it's not easy to get it under control. Lots of prayer and relaxation things to help.

I know what he went through. Ive been a victim of anxiety & panic attacks since i was 17. My mom had this problem & my older son gets them too. Its strange how this condition is hereditary.
Oh Debbie I know how you feel When DONNY chats to me before shows during the morning in the afternoons evenings & all through the night 😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Because Donny started so young.. Like me as a child, I Went on stage at Butlin Holiday Camp talent contests many times, it affects you when you think about it, pressure is on to be good for your parents, their expectations of you.. Then the Nerves creep up on you like a monster, you become fearful and scared. Bless you Donny Xx a perfectionist, and it shows in his work xx Its similar to Exam taking, not letting someone down if you Fail, Pressure.🌹 Love you Donny, you are a Pro of the highest order ⭐️

Stems from childhood and his father making sure they were perfect when performing. Too much pressure I feel was put on them at a very early age. He always feels he has to be perfect. even the picture he straightened out. It gave him Anxiety.
I understand what Donny Osmond is going through! I’ve been having anxiety pretty bad for the last 7 yrs and it’s getting worse. It’s so bad I loose control of my body functions , throwing up to completely paralyzed like a statue my body gets so stiff all my muscles are super tense and really super sore for 3-4 days after and my memory is somewhat affected after. They have me on 2 different kinds of meds and I cannot miss a dose or it could be triple intense if I have one after wards. Very scary when things you have no control over happens. I do know the signs when it’s coming on and have to really block everyone out and stay calm to putting cold towels on my neck. Prayers for you to Donny 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️
I remember the exact moment I had my first panic attack. It was Aug 1983; I was 14 and registering my classes at high school. I had been thru a lot the previous year and I think it all caught up. I remember not being able to catch my breath and breaking out in a big sweat. It also felt like the walls were closing in. I was with my cousin and told her I couldnt stay; I had to get out of there. She took me by the arm and whispered that if I didnt knock it off she was going to slap the shit out of me (sorry for the vulgarity). I sucked it up. I hate being in crowds and I wont go on stage--despite being told I have a knack for comedy. I dont go out unless I have to. At work they tell me I have a natural connection with people that puts them at ease. If they only knew. The VA is no help--since a couple of horrific instances really brought my anxiety to the surface. I just learn to live with it.

I went to a small rural college, and I had a panic attack doing a minor character in a school play. I thought I was dying (in spite of knowing better.) I was shocked to feel that way, and I didn't really have a big investment in it. It certainly wasn't my livelihood. It's a terrible feeling.
my daughter has social anxiety, when she started school she did`nt want to speak to anyone there, to get her promoted i had to video her reciting spelling word and such, a few years later, a classmate told me that her teacher at that time was really mean to her for not speaking, which made her withdraw even more, taking her to school, the minute she stepped onto the curb at school, i could see it in her facial expression, she totally shut down
Dave, please tel Donny that I too, have anxiety due to being in abusive relationships most of my life. Can't trust people. It's a very lonely place to be, but at the same time, I seem to be better off just being in that lonely place. It's very hard for me to trust others.
Having anxiety and panic attacks it goes from 0 To 100 in seconds you feel like you’re having a heart attack I know because I suffer from both I also suffer from depression and it’s damn scary it happens when you’re at home it happens when you’re out you have know control on when they start or even going to end. I don’t have help with my anxiety or my panic attacks the problem that I have with them is I watch everyone I watch everything around me I start trembling my hands start to shake I start to panic .
I'm exactly the same baby When we message like we've done for the past 6 7 8 months You've helped me through some of my hardest darkest moments! 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I've been the abyss I built it I dug it I dived in feet head body first it was Absolutely 💯 😅😅😅😅💯💯💯💯💯💯😪😪😪😪

Osmond family children grow up and were send on stage. Nobody asked them if they want to do it. They did it. We know that children in one family can have totally different talents and interests. Who knows what they become if they had freedom to choose their career. Poor Danny. Maybe as an engineer he would be more relaxed in life.
