[@shahad3181]

[@emilyc9492]

I find that looking at five objects and describing them to someone else or to yourself. It's helped me through many panic attacks. Do as many as you need. Five is good for me. Describe the smell, material, color, etc.

[@naomihaygar3156]

Emily Cole never tried this. Wish I knew of this an hour ago 🤦lol

[@hr981]

your voice is so soothing and if it was possible, I'd love it if you were my therapist. thank you for this video and keep doing what you always so ^.^

[@Spookdog]

When I have panic attacks I tell myself to breathe and/or imagine my favorite person in the whole world (my bf and best friend

[@Wink-182]

If you haven't already, could you do a video on what a panic attack is, like what happens and how you know that you're having one?

[@stellagrace9326]

+DobbyThe FreeElf why are we literally everywhere?? hello, fellow phandom member;

[@Wink-182]

stella grace because the Phandom is awesome XD

[@katie-yb3te]

+DobbyThe FreeElf That's actually a good video idea

[@karamei]

+DobbyThe PhanElf Panic attacks are not specific in symptoms as she sort of touches on here. For me it feels like a sudden increase in heart rate and like I'm breathing in a very unusual way (taking gulps of air and exhaling quickly, with gaps in between inhales). Plus the whole anxiety and unpleasant feeling thing. A sense of need to get away.

[@pollyanne641]

Everyone is different so people might not all have the same symptoms but your heart beats really fast and maybe your chest might hurt, Your limbs may shake, oh over think things, you cant really talk that much, you want a lot of space and no one to touch you, you may have an emotional break down and you can't breath streight

[@kikik7047]

this was really helpful. my favorite coping skill is writing poetry about how I am feeling.

[@SunsetShadows]

Love this thank you wish I had seen this earlier.

[@jillianweitz9303]

When I was on a plane I had a major panic attack and some guy told me to think if five things I see, hear, touch, etc. it really helped me calm down and feel better but my problem is I sometimes don't use my coping skills but I have to remind myself that if I do a coping skill I'll feel better in the long run

[@christinabynum2638]

This helped calm me down from a panic attack. Thank you ❤️

[@ghoulishartist]

Question. What if my anxiety keeps me from talking to others? I panic more when talking to others, and or making/reviving phone calls..

[@natalielong113]

NeeksArt that Is some sort of social anxiety

[@ghoulishartist]

Natalie Long I know it is. I've lived with it for over ten years, I should know what kind of anxiety it is. I didn't put it as social anxiety, because I have more than just social anxiety.

[@natalielong113]

NeeksArt yea it's some forms of it but you could have something else too

[@zia7493]

thank you so much, ive been to so many therapist this year for my anxiety disorder and depression and without a doubt you have helped me out so much more than all of them combined :) keep up the awesome videos

[@lutzm8052]

Are you a professional therapist? Because you're very knowledgeable, and you seem to know what you're talking about all the time. I honestly can't tell. Also, your videos are very helpful to me, and I just want to thank you. :)

[@LikeKristen]

Aw thank you! I'm going to school to become a therapist. All my knowledge comes from life experiences, years of therapy, and research I have done :)

[@lutzm8052]

Well I want to wish you the best of luck for the future (I'm sure you won't need it though 😊). And thanks again for helping me and tons of other people through hard times, I really respect you and what you do. Keep up the positivity!

[@kara7751]

lutzm I like your profile picture

[@ashleighash2676]

I was having a panic attack, this really helped

[@CorgiLPSTV]

Thank you so so so much, Kristen. I was looking through KZbin and found this video. Later today I started freaking out and I came straight to this video. I am so glad to have you here, without you I would be an awful mess..

[@cristinaalcaide1765]

This help a lot .Not only for panic attack for anxiety thanks 💕

[@marylagueruela2498]

I had no idea that this type of video existed, it has helped me so much!! Thank you helping me!! I hope you make more 😁

[@panda839578567659610]

omg you have no idea how much this helped... I was trying to calm down from a panic attack and this was so helpful, after watching the video I went and called my best friend and I drew and I didn't everything u told me to and it really worked. thank you so much Kristen, idk what the world would do without someone like u

[@clownbones]

I love the time of your voice in this, normally I hate people sounding sympathetic but you make me realise that I'm not actually choking and just knowing that helps xx

[@elena_eleen]

I had a panic attack today during my drivers ed and I couldn't feel neither move my hands and feet, they were literally paralyzed and it has never happened before, I was kinda terrified but I held on to the thought that it was gonna pass... I don't know if this works for anyone but for me I just keep repeating to myself that I'm gonna be okay

[@sashasamodouroff1542]

Helped me so much watched this while I was experiencing my first panic attack and it saved me

[@MarkusLeeMarkleSparkle]

Oh my god, you're a life saver. I owe you so much. Thank you for making this video. My panic attacks are very severe. Like, "Keep me awake for days," severe. I'm currently having a panic attack. You certainly helped a lot. My panic attacks are mostly influenced by the thought of being alone or dying. I followed all of the instructions in your video and my panic attack is nearly gone within 30 minutes of it starting. Sincere thanks, Mark.

[@RuesWhistle]

I have never seen a video that describes anxiety hyperventilation as well as you. It took me a long time to learn this for myself. I wish I saw this video early on when I started having panic attacks. I'm so glad you made this video to help other people. Bless!

[@DecoraPunk]

you're an angel, thank you

[@ebonyjj7480]

Thank u my problem when I have panic attacks is I instantly feel this is the end Im going to die then it gets worse I feel like I cant breath and that my throat is closing up

[@noralundberg7389]

This saved my night, really, I had a panic attack and my anxiety got worse when I realised I wasn't going to get any sleep, but this made me calm down enough to get some rest. Thank you, so, so much

[@SKSelphie]

I have panic attacks during many situations, but specially when I go to job interviews. At the last one I started crying on the form I had to fill and even threw up in the office's bathroom. A friend recomended me there I did this, I can't even begin to describe how ashamed I felt - and still feel.

[@GingerNinjagoCRAAZYY]

my mom used to do this exercise with me when i was younger.. I never realised it was because she knew i had anxiety before anyone else

[@islapenelopejean]

I was having a super bad panic attack and this video helped me so much

[@victoriaedwards9580]

This video is really helpful! thanks! One thing I'd like to point out though is that hyperventilation does not cause your brain to not get enough oxygen, it actually gives your brain too much oxygen. My counselor explained that to me recently and I found it very interesting. I hope that made sense!

[@justcallmekiwi6722]

You are so soothing... Your voice, your attitude, your looks and video colouring... It is so calming, and thank you, you just saved me from a panic attack

[@siennaally5090]

thank you. thank you. thank you. I could write a million of those, but they'll never be enough THANK YOU

[@krysimp.]

This genuinely helped me a lot. I calmed down relatively quickly and my aniexty seeped away slowly. Thank you so much. I will do this from now on.

[@hcneydew4226]

i always find myself coming back to this video when i start to feel panicked and it always seems to helps. not really sure if it's what you're saying or your voice or what, but this is definitely my favourite video to watch when i need to calm down. thank you so, so much for this, i really appreciate it. hope youre doing well! (:

[@ameliac6931]

This was so helpful! thank you so much!

[@lauragleaves]

This really helped me when I was having a panic attack, thank you

[@ciarabates9546]

THANK YOU for differentiating between stomach and diaphragm breathing! I have dealt with recurring panic attacks my whole life and even do professional singing and somehow never realized that ballooning the stomach is not the same as breathing from the diaphragm.

[@jessicasuzanne___]

Omg I so need this because I have panic attacks a lot and i never know how to calm down. So this will help me a lot if I ever have a panic attack

[@maryb3594]

hi hi ily so much i’m currently watching this video as i have this panic attack and your direct eye contact and reassurance is very much appreciated thank you so much

[@thebluesoldier3815]

Thx a lot I got calm Down 😪

[@hiiammona462]

[@Kenneth-fv4eq]

This helped me out so much! I cannot thank you enough... I love how you are here helping everybody. Again thank you sm.!

[@user-vy7yq1kx2u]

I just wanted to say that you're super pretty and helped me get through a lot of my mental problems when I felt alone at night with no one to talk too

[@jeremyjones2236]

I'm currently having a bad one but just hearing you talk about calming down has helped me. I tend to get them really bad when I've just ate and I'm full and thats what just happened. Thank you for this video

[@buniibee9815]

I was just having a panic attack from my own thoughts. I keep thinking I'm having trouble sleeping and I'm going to throw up (i have anxieties about throwing up because of how skinny i am and how people say I'm going to die if i get too skinny so i freak out.) This helped alot so thank you so much. I love people like you who know what I'm going through and help others ♡

[@pundarika8860]

I've been panicking for hours and I just remembered this video. Thank you

[@audreyclark3800]

I suffer from severe anxiety. my anxiety attacks hit me like a brick . thank you so much

[@Stephaniemarlar]

Thank you for making this video is the only one that helps me calm down

[@rvufo]

wow this video significantly calmed me down. You said all of the things I would think to do when I'm not having a panic attack, and in such a calming and reassuring way. I now feel like I can tackle the day. thank you

[@unicornlover4137]

This really really helped me

[@arelysmejias7068]

thank you so much! i was having a panic attack and this helped me.

[@rosieellis4748]

Counting down from 100 really worked I've never thought about this thank you x

[@circlenowsquared]

I tried videos before this but this worked right when I needed it.

[@seraphsagittarius]

Thank you for making this video. It really helped. I've begun having panic attacks in the past two months. I had anxiety before that but never experienced panic attacks aside from one episode until recently and now have to deal with them almost every other day. I hate it and wish I didn't have to go through them, but watching a video like this that reminds me I'm not in danger and able to breathe really helps me to remember how to calm down. I'm hoping they'll decrease in time with meditation/exercise and other coping skills. Again, thank you.🌸

[@stephlovesschool]

This was so helpful. I am so thankful I found this!

[@skyisthelimit9454]

Thank you so, so much. I was having a major panic attack while viewing this and I did the breathing exercises and I used imagery and it helped me so much. I can't help but thank you.

[@naomi9664]

Thank you Kristen!!! I was having one while I watched this video! Great help!!!

[@ArigatoGrande]

Saved this video so that I can watch it whenever i have a panic attack so I can come down from it Thank you so much this was really helpful

[@Fluffy441992]

I am deathly allergic from bees/wasps/hornet's. Ever since I was first stang two years ago and almost died. A week later I started having massive panic attacks. I was diagnosed with panic disorder. I became scared to go outside. A week ago someone told me that I should be allergic to spiders too. I just was sitting outside and I felt something slightly big crawling on my back. I whipped it away. I am now panicking. This video is really helping me calm down. Thank you.

[@lauren334]

[@classyfoxturtle1425]

I started having a panic attack and I didn't know what to do because I felt like I had no oxygen around me and well, panic attacks are scary - to say the least. But then I remembered I saved this video and I found it, thank you for helping me through this panic attack.

You are such an inspiration/role model to me and many others. Keep up the great work!!

[@abbycadabbie]

When I have panic attacks, the best thing I do is try to catch my breath, and then I try to cool my self down whether that be me sucking on an ice cube or eating ice cream or using a cold wet washcloth
