How To Calm Down During A Panic Attack 

I just don’t want to feel like this anymore

anyone out there who is having a panic attack right now, i want you to know you are not alone and you are going to be okay. i was. other people were. you will. breathe. slowly. you are going to be okay, i promise.

I never thought I would ever have extreme anxiety & panic attacks . It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone and their are people who go through the same thing. You are loved and important if no one has told you.

This comment section brought me to tears. Anxiety attacks feel so bad. I would never wish them upon anybody. I’m sorry that we’re all going through this. But I know in my heart we’ve got this. Just keep in mind it will pass.. it will get better… you’re not alone. Live life one day at a time.. take it easy. We were given this challenge because we can over come it and do better! ❤️

Who else is deeply breathing while reading the comments

whoever is reading this maybe laying in bed late at night crying i’m here

I’m 24 years old and I’ve been dealing with panic disorder since I was 6. You’d think I’d be used to these attacks by now but they are still so hard to manage and I feel so weak sometimes. Thank you for this. And to whoever is reading this, I’m sending warm hugs and positive vibes. You are so so strong

My parents yelled at me for being an emetophobic and they don't understand how hard anxiety is. Watching this video made me cry but I felt better thank you so much :)

nobody: My heart: *G O T T A G O F A S T*

Does anyone else have anxiety about breathing like you can’t breathe ?? Xx

I've just overcome my biggest anxiety attack in my life, it was the worst feeling that I've ever felt, it was so bad, that I had to develop so much strength just to keep me breathing. I think I should go and visit a psychologist, but I'm so scared, that the world outside would not understand me...but despite all that, all the bad things that pulling me down, I still have a little light in me, a little hope that one day I get through it.

We can do this guys! We gotta keep on going and get better! We’re in this together

I’m pretty sure that everyone in here can agree that Anxiety is one of the worse things that your body can feel Whoa thx for all the likes guys stay safe hope you all have a great day

The last thing I needed was an ad before this

Am I the only one who feels like I cant breathe properly so I try to yawn as much as I can to breathe deeper??

Hey future me, I will write this anxiety attack so that you remmember you were okay and you will always be safe... i hope you find this when youre older and realize its gonna be okay and that you got through this, bye... :)

I cried so much watching this. Im so tired of being anxious. Its really harsh.

To all people out there suffering from anxiety or depression: You are still walking, You are still putting a foot infront of the other Keep doing that

It feels like my heart is about to stop and the feelings are a lot. I’m having an extreme panic attack rn, you’re NOT ALONE. I’ve watched like a hundred vids trying to feel better but I have to hold on to faith🙏🏽WE’RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS❤️

it’s crazy how this got me through my worst times. It tends to give me some relief. Please never take this video down!

‘these feelings are temporary’ me watching this for the 2628633th time: ok

I don’t know why, but “You’re going to be okay.” At the beginning made me cry. I’m so scared, I don’t want to feel like this anymore..

Had a man break into my house and assumably tried to hide out in our basement. Had to lead him out at 5am, shaking, letting him take whatever he wanted. Been in a state of shock for almost 3 hours now, and this is helping me finally cry. Thank you

Thank you everyone for your warm comments! This is amazing to read when I’m having a panic attack at 1 am and no one is awake to talk to. If you’re suffering from anxiety, you’re not alone, breathing slowly will slow your racing heart down. Think of happy things, and focus on the music of this video. I always find peace in one of my favorite shows or movies like “friends” or “Up”you will be okay. I’m sorry we all have to battle through this ):

who else is here bc they are having one rn🙋‍♀️ edit: tysm for the likes 🥰 I hope you all can find peace within yourselves soon

The comment section really just makes me feel like I’m not the only one with stress and that other people have the same problem and I’m not alone

After months of scrolling through these comments, I'm finally making my own. All of the comments Ive read here have made me feel like I'm not alone. They've supported me when I needed it the most, I really do thank you all. I want to repay that feeling of being able to relate and relax. You're all going to be fine if that's what you're anxious about. I promise you it will all be over. Until then I want to help you control it the best you can. Take deep breaths and relax your whole body. I love you all you'll get through this ❤

the reason I’m so stressed is literally because of my heart like it’s been having palpitations for over a month and doctors say I’m fine so idek anymore

i love how it says "close your eyes if it helps" even tho you need to read the text

The ad before the video: “ A different day means a new car “ .. Me: *Panics for no reason*

Comments healed me. I am not alone. You are not alone. It’s all gonna be okay. I want to say thank you to all the people out there.

I have anxiety attacks every day this video really does help to calm me down. You are not alone 🙏. You will come through these moments stronger than before. I wish everyone peace

I don’t know why but I feel anxious about something I don’t even know

For anyone who has never had a panic attack, or has never witnessed one, you don't know how horrible it feels. It's like the whole world is collapsing around you, while all you can do is watch it burn. People shouldn't make jokes about this. This is a serious issue that many people face on a day to day basis. I'm sure this video will help many people, and on their behalf, I want to say thank you

Whenever I have a panic attack I like to think about the next day or just about the the next thing I have planned. It helps me to remember that I won't feel the panic for much longer.

To anyone struggling with any type of anxiety or ocd, emetophobia, etc. I have separation anxiety, ocd and emetophobia just like you (probably), I get so scared whenever I feel sick but I push through because I want to live to the best of my ability, and without fear in my way. I’m sure you do as well, and I know things are hard to handle, to conquer the fears that lie deep in your brain that you cannot seem to understand why or how but you just feel scared anyways because it’s how you are… I always tell myself when I’m feeling anxious or sick, “don’t worry, you are okay, everyone else is okay, you aren’t going to be sick, even if you have a cold or even covid, you will be okay.” And I believe in that, I want you to believe in that too, take medication if you have to, I never wanted to have medication to help my anxiety and ocd but it’s helped so much. I don’t want you to feel scared, worried or like you can’t breathe or you might throw up, because trust me, you can breathe… you won’t throw up… and even if it happens it’s your body’s natural way of telling you “hey, we need some rest, I’m trying to help you right now.” And trust me, you can get through it, we can get through this together. No matter what we can get through any wall as tearing us apart inside just because our amygdala has that severe flight factor in your brain for nothing but because your body is worried for you. You must train your mind, tell it “we are okay, we WILL be okay. The others are okay, we will get through things together but I need you to calm down for me, okay?” Trust me, it may work one day and you can finally live anxiety free❤I love you, stay strong fellow stranger. If you get through this or have been through it, please share your experiences if you want! It’s better to get it off your chest then to keep a burden so deep in your heart. I’m being calmed down just by writing this and I feel so much better then a few minutes ago. Goodbye fellow stranger, stay strong for not me, but for you, yourself.❤

Um maybe don't put an unskippable ad that's more than 10 seconds long ON A VIDEO FOR PEOPLE IN A PANIC ATTACK

I get paranoid about the smallest things and I hate it so much. It feels like I’m stuck in a picture frame.

Why is it that when someone says you're gonna be okay during a panic attack it makes me burst out crying??when I didn't even feel like I was gonna cry until someone saids that

I had an panic attack at school so my parents picked me up earlier, and wen I came home I started watching this and it already helps a bit. I hope you all are doing well tho!

who else is having an anxiety attack rn

It was midnight and I was crying uncontrollably. no one was up at that time and I felt utterly alone ... thank you.

Ive been using this video for comfort for i think like 4 years now. This has been the safe sound and the sound of relief when im experiencing extreme nausea and feeling of doom when having panic attacks. I think you dont realize how much you have helped people with this simpe 4min video. Thankyou ❤️

I have school tomorrow and it’s like 10:18 already but thank you so much buzzfeedvideo this made me more relaxed instead of rushing myself to sleep. We need more people in the world like this...

Me: trying to sleep My brain: "You can't rest while enemies are nearby"

To anyone struggling right now, just know that all of this is just temporary. That any of your problems, worries and struggles will be resolved very soon. Just hold on and focus on the things that matter to you💕

I love that the hammock was in sync with "in, out" , it added to the calming effect It actually helped calm me down, thank you!

It didn't make me forget the stuff I have been through, but it calmed me down and it made me cry myself out, thank you and lots of love to the creator of this video. ❤

Here I am at 2am, with my whole family asleep, my heart racing while struggling to breathe, my body shaking, mouth watering while it also being dry, being hot then suddenly cold, goosebumps appearing, crying, feeling alone and not being able to sleep. This video helped me calm down after a few watches. Thank you for making me feel a little calmer 💜

I was crying during this and i’m laying down and a tear went in my nose-

I was crying and I felt like I was alone, losing friends who I love. I have epilepsy, which scares me more when having an anxiety/panic attack. This really helped me. thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

i'm going to write this for my future self, as this definitely won't be the last time i come here. ~ you're ok. there is nothing wrong with you. this is only temporary, i promise. you know how everytime it happens you convince yourself that you're dying, but then everything fades as quickly as it came on and the feeling of dying becomes a memory? well this time is no different, no matter how horrific it is. i know you feel like you have no control, but you do have control - you always have done and always will. very soon your heart will stop racing, your chest will soothe, your breathing will relax, the nausea will go away, and a wave of relief will come. when it does, be proud of yourself for making it through again. be proud of yourself for showing those feelings that you're in control, not them. i promise you're going to be ok. you'll always be ok.

i really hate when people think that living with anxiety or depression is cool, while iam sitting here watching this video million times with teary eyes, messy hair and hard breathing. where's the fun points of having these things, dude?! seriously, society needs to wake up

I can’t stop shaking, I feel like the world is ending, even though I’m aware I’m okay, it doesn’t help

this is the first time anything has stopped an anxiety attack , i can sense an anxiety attack hours before it happens , this video make me feel so much better , as soon as the nausea sets in that’s when the panic starts and i feel as if it’s never going to end :/

I just wanna say, this video- Thank you. Thank you for helping me through panic attacks when I didn’t even know what was happening yet. Thank you for helping me when my anxiety was at its worst. Thank you for helping me at its best. Thank you for making me so happy I nearly cry tears of joy because of how much hope in society this video gives me. Thank you for helping me on those rough days. Thank you for helping me on those rough nights. Thank you for ridding of nearly every panic attack, or at least calm down after one. Thank you for helping me with my anxiety since I discovered this video, 2 years ago. Thank you.

Love having to sit through an unskippable ad for ice cream while I feel like my entire world is ending 👌🏻

If you’re reading this while having an anxiety attack, I just wanna say , it’s okay. Breathe. This moment you”re experiencing will finally pass, trust me I”be been through severe anxiety where I felt like it was my last moment to live but I’m still here and you”lol be too. Trust in the process, I love you

This video is the most helping for my anxiety. If you are currently experience something, know it's not the end and remember it'll pass. Spread love

Literally just got me through a breakdown... tears still in the depths of my eyes... thank you sincerely 🙏 Shalom

whenever I'm getting anxious my heartbeat shoots up and it scares the hell out of me, nonstop thinking that I'm dying and I'm constantly scared.

anyone else’s heart feel like it skips a beat and then get stressed because they think they are dying or something

i really like the multitude of breathing reminders. when i’m panicking, even after i’ve been told to breathe once already, it’s easy to forget that. every time the girl on the hammock showed up i almost instantly corrected my breathing. thank you.

Having one right now and started crying it's so hard dealing with anxiety and panic attacks

I constantly suffer from panic attacks and I cant stand it when people take it as a joke. Anxiety is not fun and it sucks. I get it when I am about to fall asleep and sometimes it feels like this endless pain is never going to leave. ~8 months later I just want to say thank you. To everyone. And I may suffer from the same thing but I have hope that it does get better. I hope that everyone else knows that it will be ok and anxiety does not own you. You will be ok because you are better than anxiety because it does not own you.

Reading the comment section makes me feel like I'm not alone, ty

always thankful for this video. i actually haven’t watched this in a while. i hoped i wouldn’t have the need to watch it anymore, but i’m glad i watched it.

you seriously don’t understand how much this helps like my dogs recently been put down and i cant sleep most nights so thankyou xx

“Anexity does not own you” My heart rate:📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

my anxiety in a nutshell: •cant breathe too well •nausea •my heart beats really fast •cant sleep •shaking

This is my first panic attack and ur video helped a lot im no longer shaking or don’t feel sick anymore ty.

I was almost going to have a heart attack but thank God I found this on RU-vid thank you I appreciate you I love all of you for all my heart ✌️

Am I the only one who sees everything will be okay and gets more stressed??

Who else burst into tears when it said "you're going to be okay" cause no one says that to you anymore ✌️😗

i suffer from extreme emetophobia and i have been struggling to eat lately. I was having a panic attack and i could barely catch my breath so i pulled up this video and it really helped a lot. Thank you

When I feel like this, I like to think of the other times that I felt like this. How, it just takes time. It feels like it is never going to away... but it always does in the end. Whoever is feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, etc., remember all the other times you felt like that, and how it went away with time. Thank you to the person who posted this video. I love coming back to it when I really need a reminder that this is temporary... and this feeling does go away

Does anyone here get crazy thoughts too because of anxiety

I cried so much, I for real hate having panic attacks, it hurts

Thank you for this vid i have been having so many bad thoughts and i want them to end and this video help me a-lot thank you Anyone who reads this and has panic attacks and over thinks stuff i know you will be protected my god he loves all of you and will protect you. May god bless you all

Been here twice, and I don’t hope to be in a situation that confines me to this again - but I appreciate the existence of this video.

anyone else get tremors, like uncontrollably shaking their legs?

for everyone who’s having a panic attack rn, everything is gonna be okay one day, i’m struggling too and know that we’re all going though this together. here are some colors to make u feel comfortable and safe: ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💕💞💓💗💝💘💖💟✨✨

You really don't know how badly I needed this. My family is literally the one that gave me this anxiety

About a year ago, I had a extreme panic attack during a test and i fell to the floor shaking and my friends were so amazing. I feel so guilty that they had to witness that .

everything will be ok

When you want to read the comments telling you that you aren’t alone but you can’t think and read properly

Thanks so much for this video, for the people reading this. Please don’t worry about your panic attacks, remember everything is going to be okay. Breath in and out every time you feel panic attacks coming your way, let them. Because if you resist you will feel fear and if you let them pass you’ll get used to it and than forget about those bad feelings. I’ve been troughs and still this day battling those horrible feelings but remember that god loves you and will never leave you suffering. If you remember him he’ll remember you and help you eventually. God bless y’all❤️

The video: Call a loved one Me: ITS 2 AM I HAVE TO GET UP IN 4 HOURS FOR SCHOOL AND ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IS AWAKE

I just want to hug someone. I wish this was over. I want it to stop. I can’t go back to sleep. It hurts.

I’m having a panic attack right now I don’t know why I was just laying on my bed and then it became hard to breathe and now I just feel sick and overwhelmed

Thank you to who ever made this video. Tonight I just went through one the worst things that had ever happened to me and I needed this badly. Before anyone asks I’m not sharing what it was but trust me….it was bad

The white dog made me cry 😭 I’m so thankful there are videos like this one. To anyone reading this, we may not know each other, but I want you to know I love you and believe in you. I know it may feel like this will never end, but I promise you it will. It WILL be okay, whether your body and mind want to believe it or not. Cry your eyes out if you need to. Hug a stuffed animal or a pillow. Heck, hug yourself if it makes you feel better. And I’m sending you a big, comforting hug right now. 🩷

anxiety is driving me insane, like cant i just feel normal again? im just so tired of this feeling💀😢

“call a loved one” miss girl it is 4:40 in the morning everyone is asleep:(

i haven’t had a panic attack in a while, but whenever i do this video saves me. thank you. and thank you to everyone in the comments making myself and others feel less alone. we WILL get through this. in. out.

Thank you so much for making this video. I was having an anxiety attack for 1 hour until I found this. This really helped me calm down 😊

I feel like I’m trapped inside of a small box, limited to my life. Like I can’t do anything but sit here in the dark...and stare at a dark closet....if you uhm...found this comment....I hope your in better shape than me...

There shouldn’t be ads on this video.

I am dealing of suicidal thoughts and this is helping me a lot thank you so much this makes me feel a better person and that I am important and I’m not alone and that God blesses us with love and happiness God bless you all❤️

Thank you for this- I felt really stressed out over friends, school, etc But this made me feel a lot better
