Don't Let Anxiety Hold You Back: My Panic Attack Story!

I've dealt with panic attacks in the past, and I wanted to share my story to hopefully help remind anyone else out there who is dealing with a struggle that it will get better. It's super important to share our experiences and confront issues in order to live life to your full potential.
Here's a link to the book that I mentioned in this video, "Overcoming Anxiety, Worry and Fear"

Hey Jesse, wow look at how far you've come! Opening up isn't easy & you're owning it! Having the passion to follow the right path, lead by example, teach with the right intent sparks a fire inside & lights the way. Not everyone's on the same level now but, there's no denying, they would still take away from the speech, your passion to help, all of us, creating compassionate ground for us not to be so hard on ourselves & the significance of standing up for what's right! Peace & love to you & everyone! You put yourself out there to show the truth & that's admirable! I hope everyone here, remembers how strong they are! 👐

+OLDS98 Hi I see ur comments on several of the same youtubers that I watch. May I ask of you if you used the Midwest Center for anxiety and depression books and cds to combat ur anxieties I think the Woman who owned and ran the program was Lucinda Bassett Her books and cds were very good but she got a bad reputation and i think sold the business.

[@OLDS98]

I do not mind you asking. I do not live in the Midwest and I have never heard of the person you speak of. I am sorry.

[@thejupiter2574]

Thank u. yeah, it's a cd program for treating anxiety and depression called The Midwest Center for anxiety and depression that had produced a whole series of books and cds from Lucinda Bassett. I only asked because I thought I had seen ur profile name on one of the video posts. Thanks. Bye.

Panic and anxiety have been a part of my life since I was a teenager. It is no fun whatsoever. I still remember the first real attack that I had. Basically I had it in my car driving home. I had to pull over and get out of my car and pace up and down the road. Luckily I had a friend with me but although he tried his best to help me there was nothing he could do. I ended up getting home and spent the rest of the day in bed. Those situations have happened off and on since then..one time even ending up in the emergency room. For the past couple years I have had fewer experiences and I attribute that to a new way of thinking that came about during a very bad situation. A few years back the gay community in my town was starting to show itself a bit more by having dances every so often. At one of them I had met this guy and, I guess you could say we started going out, although in retrospect I think that was more in my head than in reality. Lets just say that he was rare....and by that I mean he paid attention to me. Something that had never happened before in my life. I figured, he must like me, right? And perhaps he did to some extent but I think I knew deep down that, like most of the gay guys I've met, I was not what he was looking for. I was just a distraction until something better came along, which, of course, it did. But, in that time when we were "going out" I ended up in situations I was not used to. Parties, bars, the usual stuff...but I don't drink or do drugs and I don't like being around that stuff... So, I had to deal with it. And in any other circumstance that would bring on some bad panic attacks. But, since I had to be his ride home I had to keep it together...so, somehow I figured out how. I can't explain how I do it but lets just say it has a lot to do with being more focused. Anyway, out of a bad situation something good came. I've had a few bad attacks since then, but like I said, I can, for the most part, get myself out of them. They are not cured and probably will never be but, it's at least more comforting to know that I have more of a handle on them.

[@JesseDaley]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your story! You are absolutely right that out of all of our experiences, something positive can occur! Keep up the good work.

I've never had a full blown attack, but I know what's it like to be highly stressed.

[@JesseDaley]

Ah yes stress is intense. Try meditating. -- it will help so much!

20 years of trial n error on anti depressants and anti anxiety meds and all the side effects screwed up my body. smh I now have agoraphobia on top of it all no live everyday like a zombie too sedated to hold a job. ALL because I was beaten up tormented teased bullied and harassed for over ten years as a little kid for being gay Those negative experiences totally affected my personality making me fearful and afraid to even take risks even though I know better now.

+Jesse Daley Mannnn, would love to slide my hand through that gorgeous silky hair of yours :) U have such a beautiful smile and eyes (sigh ) :) I've mentioned this a few times over the past couple of years but +Jesse Daley a lot of struggling actors also take some extra schooling or night school classes to try and train for a back up second profession to fall back on because the acting is so so competitive regardless of one's talent. I THINK THAT YOUR TRUE GIFT would be as a Motivational Speaker of Inspiration and as a Life Coach counselor. You have that gift in you of compassion and love and you genuinely care about people. Your gift is in helping others. The fact that you wrote and produced a book is proof of that as well as these videos. Would love to see you do a guided meditation video perhaps. OMGD YES more videos with you singing cover songs would be awesome. +Jesse Daley have you ever heard the song Morning Prayer from the handsome son of Barbra Streisand her actor /director son Jason Gould his singing is or was so so soft and flowing. The song makes me cry it's so touching.

[@JesseDaley]

Thank you for your kind thoughts and suggestions!! Lots of love to you!!

"Lost of love" from u (sigh) I wish ;)
