Do you guys have WhatsApp? Cause I’m in the states and I rather talk to someone in the UK when I get these panic attacks/ocular migraines.

Ciekawa rozmowa ❤

A fantastic video! I've been doing these five habits for years, and they really do work - it just takes a bit of time and patience. Thank you for such good advice to all anxiety sufferers 😊

Great and very helpful video! Thank you for posting 👍👍

Dusra gunu

Another panic attack/ocular migraine that has been defeated by this video only. I really would like to give a shout out to this organization again for the gazillion time, and a big special things to Miss Margaret for her, soothing, calming voice. If I’m ever able to travel to the UK, I would love to meet her and give her a great big hug along with everybody else who works at this fantastic place ❤

so precious, thank you

Anxiety can drain every oz of energy out your body . Just getting up can be overwhelming never mind going to work

I recently started full-time work as thought I was ready. I've now had to get signed off for two weeks because I was trembling with anxiety attacks daily. It's broken my confidence. Just feels like I'll struggle to live a normal life again. Rang no panic and they were so kind to me. Told me I wasn't losing my mind. I was having intense anxiety disorder attacks and once my meds kick in and I start counseling I should start to feel better again. Please God help me and others with this horrible condition 🙏 ❤

Anxiety causes, exhaustion, all kinds of pain, stomach problems, muscle twitching... I have had dozens of tests and haven't found any serious problems. So annoying! This is what happens when you work too hard and burn yourself out. Thank God for summer vacation!

Yeah - not fun. Anxiety is exhausting!!!

0:32 it is not an anxiety disorder as of 2013.

effective, thank you

You guys are helping me so much, I’ve only recently discovered you since I’ve been having frequent anxiety and panic attacks that come in waves. So thank you keep up the great work

This is so slay.

I’m having severe panic attacks and constant shaking inside. Despite medication and CBT I’m not improving. I understand what is happening to me during a panic attack but it’s very frightening. I don’t go out often now as I’m terrified of having a severe attack.

No doctor cares. One is branded as a psych case. And mental health care is deadly here in Sweden!

Terrible video, not giving hope to people,

Why don't you talk about anxiety in older people, it's not only a problem in the young, it's all age groups, older people also gets frightened regarding anxiety

Great video, definitely disagree with drug treatment, only masks the problem, doctors to quick at given them out, I've noticed nobody' ever talks about the bad side affects that people can get

So tired with digestive issues. Can barely walk.

One coping strategy is to use the NO PANIC helpline. Unless you talk to Brian. He has no help to offer. He does ask unnecessary, irrelevant questions. Has a bad attitude of pomposity acting like judge and jury. He makes ludicrous statements but cannot explain when challenged. He thinks he's some intellectual. No he is a Brian certainly not a brain cell in sight. The type who read a phrase and spouts it to sound intelligent, but hasn't a clue what he's on about. He is quite passive aggressive, he doesn't even ask if he can help when he answers the phone. He probably spends his life stirring and creating discord, then running off tail between his legs. I'm truly disgusted by his abuse of position on the helpline. I have no confidence NP will do anything. They just happen to have some good volunteers but its not because of anything they do. Other helpliners who are rotten and equally harmful are: Aileen she has nothing helpful to say either. You hear her dog more than her. She sounds like she's buried in darkness, and misery. Rob on Tuesday is much like Brian, they are probably the same person and are cut from the same cloth. These three people are manipulative and abusive in passive aggressive ways so it is not easy to catch them out. Evil.

NoPanic has a helpline staffed by some very warped people. Their names are Brian, Rob, Elaine and some others. Elaine doesn't speak you only hear her snorting dog. She has nothing to say to help, she sounds very very stupid. Rob and Brian ask intrusive irrelevant questions they seem to get off on other people's misery. They talk down to you when not going round in circles, saying nothing helpful. They make no effort to help, so why do they go on a helpline??? They come across like twisted, lowlifes. There are also three very helpful women on the helpline, they listen and do whatever it takes to try to help. They have knowledge and share it, they are an asset. Unfortunately, the many bad apples bring down the entire charity. What sort of people do they choose? Why aren't they trained or monitored? The problem lies in the management, the CEO is a joke, he can barely speak and is unfit to lead anything. Their complaints process is laughable, they do nothing. I hope the good helpliners leave and set up their own charity. I'm sure they'd do really well.

That’s me since 2014! :(

Documenting my panic attacks while using this video. 10:11pm Easter time Michigan

Brilliant 👏

“A little bit surprised and shocked”? VERY shocked!

Ok ..so... hmmm

Anxiety is exhausting. I need help.

I very rarely go out! Unless absolutely necessary! My fears are debilitating and very dangerous to myself! I have to take Diazepam every time I rarely go for a walk that has to be driven to and a very nice 👍 quiet place! And shopping 🛒 have to go rarely with my brother that drive me to shop! And back! Then I can’t wait to get back home 🏡 it is a scary sickening nasty 🤢 condition! And my panic attack’s are terrible!!! And dangerous I always take KALMS and eight or more Diazepam! Any time I get out which is very rare!!! I stopped drinking a year ago! And it’s still there that panic!!! I wished I were free from this nasty 🤢 disorder! As I feel like I’m living a wasted life and it doesn’t get better! Only one ☝️ or two times in roughly a month I feel normal but still take KALMS and Diazepam anyway!!!

If you suffer with interesting thoughts and you have a worrying thought that you’re going to hurt somebody usually you weren’t just because you haven’t thought doesn’t mean you’re goi if you suddenly start having intrusive thoughts about harming others which where are you reassured usually you don’t if you intended to do that you wouldn’t be worried about it

Thank you! That was a wonderful educational Q&A session. SUMMARIZING THE POINT MADE BY PROF. ROZ SHAFRAN What is Healthy Perfectionism ? 1. Striving for excellence 2. Accepting failure as a stepping stone/lesson learnt towards excellence What are the signs of Unhealthy Perfectionism, that ultimately and ironically interferes with adequate performance/day to day living/work? 1. Setting very high probably unrealistic STANDARDS 2. Unreasonable EMOTIONS AND THINKING before, during and after a job and it’s outcomes - a. All or none attitude - ‘if I don’t achieve that goal I am nothing/I have no value’. b. Catastrophising self-worth in the eventuality of poor performance c. Low self-esteem because of that. d. Unrealistic drive - ‘musterbation’ e. Suffering from performance anxiety/stress/worry f. Unable to deal with uncertainty of eventual performance or outcomes g. Being unduly self-critical of outcomes h. Low mood arising out of the outcome 3. ACTIONS - a. Procrastination b. Checking and re-checking things/ redoing c. Faulty ‘domain’ of expression ‘Treatment’ :- 1. Realize it can be part of a larger Mental Health problem 2. On the other hand, it can be a primary problem leading to mental health problems: anxiety / low mood/eating disorder/OCD 3. It is NOT a disease that needs a ‘cure’ 4. But unhealthy perfectionism is a condition in which we need to modify our thoughts/emotions and behaviours and there IS help - a. Behavioural therapy b. Self-help books with exercises c. Even if you are doing it alone, seek help e.g. seek help from your University Counsellor if you are a student or visit nopanic.org.uk (Resources) 5. Remember: You do not have to lower standards/ productivity/output

It's amazing how much this calms me down

As someone that has suffered with severe anxiety and panic disorder for many years, the mental health team at my local hospital is what brought me here, I've had many breakdowns, psychotic episodes, overdoes etc because it can be so powerful, but listening to these people has (in a good way) made me feel a little bit more normal, i have always felt mine has been worse than anyone I've ever met, i have to be honest never met someone with anxiety as bad as mine to be fair, they have the same symptoms but mine went untreated for almost 20 years :( so now i don't really go out, work, socialize, do things i enjoy (i mean EVERYTHING as well) heck I'm currently going through a hard time and not eating nor drinking and ended up in the hospital because of it, i cant exercise, go in a car the list really does go on but thank you so much for this video, this is the start of my road to recover i hope.

I’ve had panic attacks for years and have to take medication to regulate them but your guys advice is always so helpful and I enjoy reading the emails

I’ve only now come to realize I’ve been dealing with severe panic attacks for a few years. I was diagnosed with a progressive chronic illness that limits my mobility at times, and because after 3 years I’m no longer in consistent treatment, I have a great deal of opportunistic infections and unexpected inflammation. So when something I don’t understand, like an inner disease that’s caused vertigo, I go into panic mode. This is truly an eye opener and so happy I watched , and grateful it was produced.

Great video. Very accurate and true

Really important to show that anxiety is a problem that affects everyone, old, young, men, women, different races and backgrounds .. really good idea for a video

This is wonderful, everything they say is how I've been feeling.

Fantastic video and thank you so much for asking me to be involved!! #MentalHealthMatters

Great video Sarah, thank you for this :)

Where is the extra help and support I fo please ..

Fear of fear is irritating me I thoughts that ,what happened when I Will afraid of all normal things ? Like Mountain,sky,homes, people , normal things which we can use .

Thanks Natasha. Very informative and gives hope that normal life is possible.

Yes very good video and advice thank you, It's the whole unreal thing that really gets me and depersonalization It's pure hell.

Great video again Sarah and Kevin thank you so much, very reassuring.

I think you are wonderful Kevin I REALLY appreciated hour honesty on agoraphobia. It was very helpful and very reassuring to me, thank you so very very much . xx

breath together? everybody has a different rhythm or ...?

Wow. This could be my psychologist talking to me :) I am slowly learning (from my psychologist and the NP helpliners) to let go of things instead of striving to excel at things. Because, really, what does it matter? It doesn't! Thank you for a great video Sarah.

Many thanks for this video Sarah, and welcome to yet another fantastic patron of No Panic! Ms Giles spoke a lot of sense in this video, and she hit the nail on the head when she referred to personal hygiene - I was finding it difficult to shower every day, but I do that now, and I also praise myself for doing so, because it can be very difficult at times.
