    Such a great video, you're very relaxing to watch, some of these tips I forget easily so it's great to hear them again with explanation :) Thank you

    Accepting, be with it and breath calmly. And sometimes tense up the big muscles of the body and let go slowly and do it a few times - I guess listens in that way to the body's biological system, which feels like fight or flight.
  • Thank you for this video, you've sincerely helped me through a panic attack. God bless you.

    Hey, I want to say thank you for mentioning about relaxing muscles. It really helped with preventing headaches which seem to mysteriously come and go.
  • Genuinely curious--what if it was sensory overload that put in that headspace to begin with? Trying to focus even more on the senses causes even more sensory overload and panic. What would you suggest in place of that? I find a lot of the techniques people normally give--like counting, focus on breathing, focus on 5 senses--are not helpful for me. I'm so overwhelmed that trying to do those things just adds extra anxiety. So what would you suggest for that?

I poured water on me. I swear I thought I was going to die. I have a prescription HCL for anxiety. My medication was in the garage I was in my room so I couldn't get to it listing to you. I will keep it with me so I can get to it it's weird I was sleeping the panic attack woke me up I road the wave for 20 minutes it sucked so bad It was also crazy my body was trying to throw up towards the end of the panic attack don't want anyone to go through it I thought I was seriously going to die Ugh 😢
