Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder This disorder is marked by the presence of repeated panic attacks: sudden feelings of terror that appear with physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath as if suffocating, dizzy or light-headedness, numbness or tingling in the extremities, nausea, and visual distortions. During these attacks sufferers often fear they will have a heart attack, faint, lose control, go crazy, or even die. The attacks begin to subside within 10 minutes but anxiety usually persists longer. Some of the attacks appear “out of the blue” which leads to a generalized fear of more attacks, but some situations may reliably trigger the attacks. Over time, people often begin to avoid the situations where they have experienced previous attacks. This can develop into Agoraphobia, an avoidance of situations from which escape may be difficult. As this disorder grows it can become severely disabling often limiting people’s abilities to travel or even leave their homes. The good news is that panic disorder is highly treatable. With medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, or both, the sufferer is soon on the way to recovery. Remember you are never alone.
wow im so glad i happen upon this video. Ive been dealing with these things for a while. some times i feel like im going crazy! i think i need to get in the car and just drive. im not able to drive myself so my husband drives me around town sometimes 2 or 3 in the morning. im just so glad to see im not alone.

@MitchGeee thanks 4 sharing i kno its horrible…and clearing ur mind is a very hard thing 2 do lik u mentioned.
@barbieimhot When I have one, all I can think about is the panic attacks!! It makes them soooo much worse. what you ideally want to do is just clear your mind of thought of anything negative. easier said than done when you feel like your going to die for sure
Visited the emergency room at 2am this morning with shortness of breath, chest pains, pins n needles in my hands and the feeling of impending doom. I think i’m having panic attacks, worst feeling of my life!! no one understands me.
Had a constant panic attack for 5 days when my anxiety was so bad, lost a stone in weight.

OMG, Im right there with you. Im 39 , had my 1st panic attack 3 nights ago lasted for 4 hours, I thought I was going to die for sure. I had my wife drive me the the E-room , I was shocked to find out it was a panic attack. It had just come out of nowhere. With all the same feelings and thoughts. Ive had one every day since then to a lesser degree. it seems fear of having another one triggers it. God i hope it goes away. This is no way to live. I feel for everyone who has to go thru this .
I have panic attacks but they rarely happen.
Some of the worst are when I either stand fully erect and unable to move with all my muscles tensed up or curled into a ball praying for my life. They don’t last any longer than 10 minutes, but they do involve most of the symptoms such as, sweaty palms, uncontrolled sometimes disturbing paranoid thoughts such as impending death from a stroke or heart failure, painful hightened visual and auditory sensations, tingling in the extermities, some confusio
Man i really understand every word your saying . ans every feeling . it sucks i have had it since i was 16 and im almost 23 . I just wish there was a easier ,better way of dealing with all of this shit . Now im having to deal with my body relyin on drugs to what cure me . yeah till they fuckin wear off then im just back to the begining . I just moved 6hrs away from my home town and just want to trying and find a diffrent way to deal with this .. something healthy. i just want to be happy.
Can sum1 tell me sum of the horrible thoughts they hav and tell me how they feel wen they think them?
@MMTroxy i feel the same way. Like ur gonna hav 2 live this way the rest of ur life….I jus want my life back u kno…i jus wanna feel and b normal again!!!
sorry man, I know how you feel. I wasn’t sure about the thoughts it brought into my head before though; I’m glad that that is a symptom rather than me being crazy lol. I hope this drug works for you.
@bracks1968 I know right I have a stresss disorder and I’m depressed and people look at me like I’m crazy, they do not have any idea and I get crap for missing school. It is really hard.
Hey dude… I’m on 40 mg of fluoxetine because I have severe panic attacks. My symptoms are usually:
-Tingling in arms / legs
-Shortness of breath
- Clamminess
The most frightening ones are:
-Confusion (can’t remember which way I was coming / going)
-Dizziness
-Disorientation
-Fatigue
Of course, there is always the constant worry that I am going to drop dead of an aneurism, stroke or heart attack… and I am only 22.
Everytime I have them I feel like i’m falling really fast. Anyone have this too?
@kacita those physical stuff suck!!!!!! the feelings u can control, but the physical stuff is almost unbearable. but the truth is…its all sort of mental… the mind triggers the body to react. the longer you work at managing it, the better it gets and the less frequent it happens. wishing you the best.
i feel like nothing will get me better…
dude you are too cool!!!!! I have felt the same way.. and I laughed at your comment about you being 37 and calling your mommy well I am 33 and I had to call my mommy on my anxiety issues so I know exsactly what you are feeling and going through.. I am so glad you are making these videos you are too awsome…. Do you live in Cali? it would be so cool to hang out with you…
I only get panic attacks when I have to present shit infront of the class. I remember when I was like in grade 7 I was presenting this thing infront of the whole class and my hands were shaking I could barely breathe and I was tearing up, my heart was beating so fast like a machine gun. Then I ran out of the class and puked in the hall
wow ! this helped me understand my panic 100% better ! thanks so much !
god bless you my friend. you have helped me out sooo much you truly are a great man
