It is 1:21 a.m. I am pulling myself together after watching your video which I just found. The breathing is the answer. I have had panic attacks since I was 28. I am heading into my 85th year. Each attack feels like it will be the end. How many times can you feel like you’re dying ? The answer is LOTS. what has helped the most is to distract yourself by doing something, even if it’s picking lint off your sweater. This video is one of the best ones there is for getting back into reality again. Also small sips of water, an ice pack on your face or neck, run cold water on your wrists.
Ive been having them since i was about 19 so im going on 5 years, im always afraid this will never go away and idk how im going to do it but your comment gives me hope that ill get it figured out. These are brutal, im struggling hard right now
Panic attacks are a scary experience. But they don’t last. You may feel like you’ve run up a mountain after you have had one. They drain all your energy. If feel like resting after one has passed, then do that. Also calming music helps , and a warm shower with candle light. Pamper yourself after an attack, you deserve it. Also, think how much of a workout your heart is getting with all that pounding. You will have a very healthy heart.
Roberta you are an inspiration and a warrior❤ Each one is very scary, and draining to the point where I feel like I can’t even help myself. You have restored my hope. Thank you 🙏
Roberta, did you know at 28 years old or in your 30's what was happening to you? I ask because nowadays anxiety and panic attacks are talked about far more than they used to be. If you didn't know what was happening to you, how did you cope? What was it like to experience this and not have any idea what you were going through?
To whoever is reading: you’re not dying, you’re safe, it will be ok. I struggle with thoughts of death, dying, what happens next. I’m a Christian, but still have these thoughts. It’s okay if you do too. Focus on breathing and being mindful and this will pass. I get heart flutters and palpitations and am convinced I’m having a cardiac event of some sort. I’ve learned that our mind is a pretty good liar.
i’m only 20 and i’ve convinced myself i have every disease in the book due to my anxiety. i barely sleep because i take naps during the day and my anxiety makes my heart feel like it’s squeezing and i get worried but I’ve learned to say to myself that if i’ve had everything i think i’ve had, i’d not be alive and maybe instead of running to conclusions, i should step back and say yes i think i have this, but i also have anxiety, bad sleep and horrible stress so which seems more plausible
These two comments really helped me because I experience this every single day. My body rejects my medicine but meditation and therapy helps more. Thank you both for these comments.
I deal with the same, I’m learning to control it but sometimes it’s a bit tough to believe yourself over the intrusive thoughts that come with the fear
To you reading this right now... you are beautiful. Everything will work itself out. Everyone here knows how you feel right now. This feeling sucks, but know that you will be be ok. Listen to me... You’re doing great right now. Don’t resist it.... Just allow it to work it’s way through. Let it do it’s thing and it’ll go away. Open your hands up and Let this float away on its own. You and I will do this together . We’re all here with you right now. Concentrate on you and I working together. Keep in mind I need you through this as well. You’re doing great. We’ll wisk this thing away in no time. See...it’s already evaporating. I can hardly feel anything anymore. Embrace the moment as you become at peace with things. Now I want you to close your eyes and place your hands in front of you and lightly wiggle your fingers like you’re playing a piano. You are shedding this off as we speak. It’s dripping off your fingertips...Feel it melt off yourself. See, there it goes......we love you . At peace... at peace.... at peace... at peace....🙏🏻🌼🍀☀️✨🌼🍀🌼🍀🐣🌼🍀☀️✨🙏🏻You did awesome! I love you! There you go... the emotion you’re feeling right now is your body releasing all that pent up anxiety....THIS emotion is good...let it all out... ahhhhh.
@@yuliashammas2775 it warms my heart to know you are strengthened by this. I don’t have any other blogs or sites. I do however have comments like this on other videos for this as well. I visit some live YT videos and comment periodically to help others as well. By the way, it’s gonna be a great day for you! Go take that 5-10 minute walk today and work on increasing it by 1 minute each day. This increases endorphins in the body and helps improve mood and lessen times like this. I promise! 🙏.
This comment really helped me reel myself in. Playing the piano with my eyes closed really helped. Sending so much love your way for your little act of kindness that made a BIG impact on my night ❤
This has been the only thing that calms me from my chronic anxiety and panic attacks. After 3 weeks of feeling like there wasn’t a hope in the world for me, I have found you. From the bottom of my heart, I am so thankful. You have changed my life.
@@TacticalTrucker I may be magnesium deficient but when I take it I get nerve pain. Is that too a symptom of magnesium deficiency? They say magnesium spray stings when you’re deficient.
Just so you all know, I too suffer from panic attacks and feel like I’m dying every single day. I want you all to know that it will be okay and you ARE loved and it will be okay.
Diet is key also - b vits, magnesium, zinc and amino acids to create serotonin plus exercise to use up the adrenaline. Vegus nerve exercises to break the circuit. good luck.
@@fabriziodemari3328mine are really debilitating, very life limiting. My chest is tight, my head goes tight, light headed, my vision goes blurry, I can’t breathe, I feel as though I’m going to pass out or did, and it stays that way for hours upon hours, 7 hours yesterday, in the hospital. I’ve never had panic attacks before. They can be very severe and manifest as physical issues which makes people feel as though there’s medically something else going on. Tricky.
I'm in a really dark place at the moment with my anxiety...but this is exactly what I needed! Definitely will be listening to this every morning and evening
Your my last hope, I am 53 years old, been struggling with trauma and anxiety with servere panic attacks that make me physically ill, I struggling to breathe its like not breathing will take away my pain ....I am at the point that eating is a problem as I have no desire or an appetite when going through anxiety. Your my last resort- blessing to you in the blood of Jesus Christ 🙏
I use this video every morning and night now. My anxiety got to the point to where I was having consistent panic attacks and constant anxiety through out the day but now I feel so much more calm and clear headed. Thank you for changing my life and to those that have anxiety please trust me that your not the only one and there are thousands more like you even though it feels so lonely at times.
This meditation helped me so much just now. I was experiencing instrusive thoughts and a painful stomachache for a few mins and thought the worst was gonna happen to me, I was extremely scared and panicking like never before. This calmed my fears and allowed me to relax and slow down all the cluttered thoughts.
This helped me so much! I’m so tired my eyes are closing but every time I fell asleep my body would wake me up with shaking and nausea and tingly hands. I am on vacation so I came out on the balcony over the water and listened to the crickets and breathed in the salty ocean air and listened to this. I feel so calm right now and I’m so excited to go back in and go to bed, hopefully for good this time! I put this video in my favorites folder for anxiety/sleep. You have a very calming voice! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🤍
I’m tearing as I write this at 3:02 in the morning. Woke up at 2:50 or so and thought I had indigestion but when I came back to bed the panic attack set in. I’ve been having a tingly pinky since late in the evening and knew something wasn’t right. So I thought am I having a stroke??? No! Just the coming of an attack which has hit me in the early morning hours. So I’m about to head into panic mode and started using mindfulness as my chest is feeling like I’m having a heart attack. I quickly think to myself “calm the fuck down and type for a meditation quick!!!” And as if God almighty himself placed it right at the top of the heap, I tapped on it quicker than a lightning bolt. You said all the right words but when you said something the the effects of “this will pass”, I received a sense of calmness. My sense of dread had vanished, and in ten minutes I feel like singing, “I can see clearly now the rain is gone” 🎶🎶🎶🎶. I’m even sleepy and am going to try to go back to sleep. Thank you much and may God bless and keep you good sir!!!!!!
its 2am, my whole body is tingling rn, chest is heavy and I cant breathe. i have been diagnosed with gad since 3 years now and I don't know when this will end, but this comment was so relatable, thank u
This is my favourite video for reducing my anxiety. Your voice sounds calming, kind, understanding, and sometimes I am calm and nearly asleep (a good thing) by the end. Just want to say thank you friend. ❤
So sick of struggling with this anxiety, it makes my body feel weird like I'm dying in different ways every time, I don't want to tell people bc I'm tried of hearing there's always something wrong with me. I don't want to be dramatic or have something wrong with me. I want cry, like a deep cry when you're a kid and you have to catch your breath after but it somehow releases everything penny up inside.. But I can't get that release. These videos help though and give me hope I can find normal again
Another question I ask myself when I'm desperately trying to hide my tears from people are this: - aren't you already in emotional pain? If u express it, are the repercussions really that much more? No. So please be vulnerable.. Its risky but seriously, what's going to happen? Go into your toilet and cry. It's important to release the energy sometimes. Try to force yourself like me these days to stay more creative and engaged. It'll be painful and hard but that's the idea.. Try. I'll be starting therapy soon too. You should definitely consider
You are definitley not alone. I know mine is coming on because my body feels lkke its enternally shaking and my tongue starts to tingle and then my left arm starts to feel weird and my chest. I know its just an anxiety attack but my brain is telling me its a heart attack. Ive been to the hospital/doctor so many times just for them to tell me nothing is wrong.. i understand and youre not alone
I...was actually surprised...I've been dealing with anxiety with a newly formed relationship. our one month is coming up and I've been having intrusive thoughts of her not being loyal. I was actually balling my eyes out just a few minutes ago, that's how bad the thoughts have became. So, thanks.
Very relatable.. I'm building one too and she happens to be extroverted much more than me. But 3 things I ask myself are these: - Is she kind and empathetic towards me and willing to communicate caringly and openly? Especially when I try to be vulnerable - would I be happier and better off if I intentionally and stubbornly focus on the great things about her personality that inspire and amaze me and try to encourage her to be more of those? - Am I able to control all the outcomes of my life without God/the universe tweaking my plans in at least one way? If the 1st two are mostly yes and the last is No, please just relax and let things form. You'll be fine.. Our ego and heightened belief in certain social constructs (how a man should be etc) messes with our moments of happiness a lot. I root for you brother. We'll pull through better each day
Thank you so much for this! I was in school and had one of the biggest panic attacks in my life. I was in a room sobbing for an hour when I tried this as a last resort. From now on this will be a first resort :)
I narrowly avoided a head on collision on the highway today. It was so close that when I pulled over, the person driving behind me stopped with me to see if I was okay. I tried to brush it off, but had a full on melt down hours later, after I got home. This helped me so much, thank you
It's 1:50AM here, and I have just had the worst panic attack of my life. It woke me up, and I couldn't calm myself for a solid 5 minutes. This video helped me
This video is fantastic for calming panic attacks and anxiety. I had to use this video for the second time in the last few weeks and it honestly helps every time! We should not be ashamed of how our body reacts and responds to situations but we should know that we can embrace these feelings and allow them to pass. We will get through it if we try
I’m going through a really hard time with my anxiety right now. Yours was the first meditation I’ve tried. I already feel a little better. I’ll definitely be trying this technique in the future.
An update. I just had to use this video again. I am in a much, much better place mentally than I was 10 months ago, but every now and then my anxiety rears its ugly head. Thank you again for helping me.
I was having an anxiety attack. Took a med. And then listened to this. Very nice voice, very calming. Clear instructions. I almost fell asleep (which is a good sign I reckon). I feel better now! I will do it again in a few minutes. Thank you for this! This is helping!
I'm at work right now doing this meditation in my car. I've been having pretty severe brain fog anxiety. Thank you for this video. It brought me back pretty quick. I just have to remember to stay relaxed and grounded.
I had my first anxiety attack when I was 10 and at 15 they came back full swing. I’m going into my 7th consecutive year of having anxiety and sometimes I feel like there’s no way I’ll be able to survive a life going through this. This video automatically calmed me down bc of the soothing voice. Thank you so much for making one more night easier
this video is an absolute life saver, seriously. i’ve struggled with awful anxiety for as long as i could remember and at times it is very difficult to find remedies to calm it down. where i am now in my life as an 18 year old working full time and in school, my anxiety has been at an all time high. i have not felt what i do today for over 10 years. after meditating to this at least 3 times in the last 2 hours, i feel much more calm. if you’re reading this, please remember that you are fine, everything will be fine, you have to go through the bad times to get to the good ones ❤️
It is completely frightening when you can't control your mind and feelings and start to have a panic attack out of nowhere. Thanks God I could search for help on how to control it before I lose it and your video was there for me. It really helped me. I just can't be more thankful
I was kinda shocked at the end when he said let the mind do what it wants....I was able to hear my thoughts but in a must calmer fashion. That was new.
This speed of speaking is just right. The image is good because I cannot fully step away from work. I just tried a bunch of other videos that didn’t start right, didn’t feel right, so I skipped them. This one started good, stayed good. Thank you.
I have been having really bad spells of anxiety the last few days. It feels like it kept building on itself. Almost like, my thoughts were racing faster and faster. I couldn’t stop the thinking. This 10 minute practice helped me detach from my thoughts. Essentially, it broke my negative pattern of thinking, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I feel so much better already ❤️
I do a chakra balancing meditation for ten minutes daily but I was having some intense anxiety so I decided to look up a ten min video for relief and came across this video first in my search and I really benefited from it! Thank you and Namaste 🙏
The minute i began the meditation i started crying and the anxiety and panic lifted a bit. Thank you. I just clicked on the first video i thought looked like it would help.
I find that if I say So What instead of What If, I’m able to calm down. Another trick I learned is with your hand tap the bottom side of your left hand and repeat, ( I allow myself to deeply and completely Love and Accept myself). Repeat this until the panic attack subsided. You can also do this when not in a panic state to avoid future attacks. I had panic attacks for 30 years and now I am free of them. Please look up the Sedona Method and EFT. Both work very well together. And remember to forgive everyone every night before you go to sleep. I hope some or all of this information is helpful. I wish you the best.
I feel you. I've been about the same. Bad flare up the last month and a half. Are you in therapy and or on any medication? Medication can def help in conjunction with therapy and things like meditation or other coping skills.
@@candycewindels1337 medications don't work for me anymore. I just detoxed from Klonopin after 12 years because I built up a tolerance to it. I feel even worse now. I tried therapy, it didn't help. My therapist said she can't see me anymore.
@@candycewindels1337 I think I need to let my body heal from this klonopin I just detoxed from then try another medicine . I'm on zoloft and risperdal as well but they don't work
I'm adding this to my playlist I have been suffering from anxiety my whole life and this is a very good video here. With everything that's going on my anxiety is at its worst I won't seek medication I know there's better ways. Thank you so much this is helped me a great deal.
I have a favorite yoga nidra for sleep (on RU-vid) that I listen to quite often. This is also paced beautifully for calming. Pranayama [breathwork] is a key for me. Always brings me into each present moment. Gets me out of my head and into my body. ~Thank You~ 🌿🕊💕🌍
Update: whenever I have a massive panic attack now, this is the first thing I think to find. It has never failed to keep me from panicking for days on end. I usually get anxiety hangovers where I still slightly panic and disassociate for days but this video seriously saves me. I feel like I should pay you for therapy or something. I can’t thank you enough for putting this out there.

This helped me deal with postpartum anxiety. Thank you. I’m going to model meditation in times of anxiety for my son once he’s old enough to understand ❤️
you should be so proud of yourself ! This makes me wish my parents had have been more aware when it comes to feelings like anxiety, your son is very lucky ❤
I had my first panic attack it felt really scary I thought I was gonna die it felt like I couldn't breathe my heart was pounding really fast I freaked out I started crying and my mom came and hugged me she said your gonna be alright sweetheart I went through this too so I kinda calmed down and she stopped my panic attack I love my mom so much and I thanked her for stopping my panic attack. Oh btw why I had a panic attack it's because I was overly anxious I started hypoventilating it was also my first day of school so yeah that's it.
Every day I am suffering from panic attacks, overthinking. OCD, BPD, Daily yoga, walking and guided meditation control me 10% me only. I feel comfortable during meditation only, after that same condition, no any changes. Very hard life for me😭😭😭Became passive life, depend upon others😭😭😭

Thank i have my first day of school for senior year university so I'm super anxious for that this helped, but now i want to go to sleep but before I was anxious and want to go to sleep because i have to finish some stuff
Thank you, I live with depression, for the last several years menopause kicked in which escalated my depression, I now have aniexty and panic attacks, I left my job as everything has become to much, a few days ago I found this video and some of your others, they really help and I thank you so much, I would like to download the app please can I ask what it's called as I'm struggling to find it as there are many and I would like your one x
I have severe anxiety which causes me heart palpitations they seem to be worst at night right when I fall asleep nothing is helping your video calmed them but as soon as it was over they came back 😔
I didn’t realize so many wonderful people suffer with panic attacks. It is such a crippling condition. But we all understand the anxiety and fear each one of us is suffering. We have the patience to listen to each other and maybe offer something that helps some of us to get through these beastly attacks. Thank you and big hugs to all of you who take the time to offer comfort .
Something that helps me, and maybe will help you beautiful people also, is sucking on a piece of ginger root. It helps sharpens my focus to the present moment and also help with nausea if that's apart of your anxiety symptoms
And here my mind goes again, playing tricks on me. Which in itself feels like a weird statement. I'm seeing these comments and people are saying their panic attacks feel like they are dying every time. Mine don't feel like that. They just feel like I am drowning in my emotions and I'm just so overwhelmed by what is happening in my life currently (and has been going on for quite some time) and also what is happening with this entire planet. Everything feels so negative right now, with all these world problems. My mind is saying oh well at least you don't feel like you're dying when you have a panic attack so are they even real panic attacks or are you just being dramatic? ... That's how messed up it is at the moment. I barely leave comments on youtube videos but I just felt like it this time. Thank you for this video...
This is the first time I am using this meditation and I find it has many useful suggestions for the relief of anxiety. The thing that most amazes me are the comments and encouraging remarks made by the people who suffer panic attacks. I have suffered most from a generalized feeling of anxiety which began at puberty when I thought I was going nuts, crazy...I am 86 years old now and a retired medical doctor (ophthalmologist) and I understand exactly what you feel when you have severe anxiety feelings about death. You must know by now that using meditations such as DTM is among the best therapies you can do for yourself. It is no shame that you have anxiety, which is nothing more than thoughts that you get lost in when your mind wanders, a normal thing that happens to everyone. A useful thing that meditation teaches is that you can grow more resistant to discomforts and pain and that you can retrain your brain to remain more calm and safe in spite of the fears, and worries. The anxiety only exists in your brain, and not in your body! With my very best wishes, Allan D. Blum, MD
