I thought I was dying. It felt like I was having a heart attack. (sirens wail) I ended up in the ER to make sure I wasn’t. I got tunnel vision and I couldn’t breathe. I felt like I would pass out for sure. Now I’m scared every day. What if it happens again? These are the voices of people who have had panic attacks. Once a person has even a single panic attack, the worst part can be the intense fear that it will happen again. I know, I’ve lived with that fear. My first panic attack happened on a day when things were going fine.I was with my friend from work, we were driving home in rush hour traffic. It was busy, like always. I was talking to my friend while she drove and she was focusing on the road. All of a sudden, I couldn’t breathe. My chest was tight, my palms started sweating, and my heart pounded faster. And it was rising like it was in my throat or ears. I looked at my friend and the car seemed to get smaller around us. I was positive I was dying, right then and there.

And I don’t want to die. I was so scared, and she could tell. She asked if I was okay and I shook my head no.I couldn’t speak. She pulled over and called 911. After lots of tests, doctors in the ER told me my heart was fine. They said I was having a panic attack and that they’re pretty common. They gave me ideas about how to get help. The reason for a panic attack is sometimes clear, and sometimes a mystery. Panic attacks are a group of physical and mental health symptoms that happen all at once. Because of the intense physical sensations and anxiety, people can feel like they’re dying.Some symptoms are a pounding heart, trouble breathing, chest pain, feeling tingly or light-headed, and tunnel or blurred vision. People also feel terror, like something awful is about to happen. For me, that moment in the car was like any other day until it happened. As a result, people change the things they do, Either way, because a panic attack is the way they interact with others, their activities, are so scary, that once people have one, they’re often afraid it will happen again. and even how much they go to work or school. This collection of symptoms is known as panic disorder. Sometimes this becomes so serious that people stop leaving their houses to avoid places and situations where an attack might happen. But treatment helped me. And treatment is available. This is called agoraphobia. I found a great therapist who knew what to do. For me, with a combination of medicine and therapy, I learned to live with the fear of future panic attacks and know what to do if one starts to happen.Panic attacks don’t have to control your life. You can take that control back. I know I did.

(electronic chimes) I can’t believe what my boss just said to me. She must think I’m doing a terrible job. I have to quit. All my friends are so happy when they go out. I don’t get it. I can’t even imagine what they’re thinking of me. If I don’t get this internship I’ll never get a job. I don’t know what else I can do. I’m stuck. I hate airports. Driving there, construction, traffic, parking, and then security. Everything about it just overwhelms me. (electronic chimes) Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems. While everyone experiences stress and anxiety at some point in life, some people become so overwhelmed they can’t manage their day-to-day or minute-to-minute lives. I know. One of these voices is mine. There are several types of anxiety that can affect people in different ways. You might have heard of specific phobia, social phobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or others. Some of these seem like they might be manageable, like a fear of heights. It’s not always convenient to avoid tall buildings, but you could do it.
Others, like panic disorder or social phobia, might be harder to manage, because they cause problems in unpredictable times, like when you’re in public. Each anxiety disorder is different, but basically, they all have one thing in common. They cause excessive worry that affects thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms. And that causes problems in a person’s life for at least six months. For me, I struggled with generalized anxiety disorder. I was worried about everything. Things I couldn’t control, like getting stuck in traffic and being late for an appointment, made me really angry. I worried about what other people thought of me. Looking at my schedule each morning was the worst part of my day. It felt impossible to do everything I put on my list. This really caused problems in my relationships. I yelled at people. I know I seemed demanding and rigid. At night I was exhausted and sad, and I’d cry because I was so upset. Most people with anxiety disorders also experience physical symptoms like shortness of breath, racing heart, sweating. Some people even get headaches or high blood pressure. Stress and anxiety are very real physical problems, and eventually, people avoid doing anything stressful so they don’t have these symptoms.
The good news is that anxiety disorders are treatable. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, exposure therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, are evidence-based treatments that can treat any type of anxiety disorder. Relaxation techniques, controlled breathing, and meditation have also been shown to be effective in reducing the physical symptoms of anxiety. There are lots of medications that are also helpful, including medications for depression and anxiety known as SSRIs and SNRIs. Social support, stress management, and self-care techniques are also common parts of any treatment plan for an anxiety disorder.
I was worried about so many things for so long. But I got help. I worked with a great counselor and took an SSRI. I even started yoga. Now, when I begin to feel stressed, I can look at the situation more carefully, slow down my breathing, and take care of any tasks that are reasonable. Treatment can really help people overcome their symptoms of anxiety. I know. I did. (electronic chimes).
[Music] there is no way I’m going to pass this exam I don’t even want to show up I was so uncomfortable at that party it was hard for me to breathe and I got all sweaty I had to leave I won’t go to sleep or leave the house unless I’ve made sure the stove is off and the doors are locked sometimes I do this three or four times I have to get to the airport five hours early you just never know what might happen [Music] these are the voices of people who have experienced anxiety anxiety is a common reaction to life events like taking a final exam we’re speaking in front of a crowd but when it becomes really uncomfortable and makes day-to-day life hard to live then it’s a problem or even what we call a disorder I know I’ve lived with anxiety for a long time my own anxiety feels like it’s about everything I worry about so many things in so many ways and it impacts my life big-time I stress about things that are about to happen or might happen and it means I can’t really focus on where I am or who I’m with sometimes my heart pounds I speak really fast and I kind of snap at people my family gets really frustrated when it’s really bad I have a knot in my stomach all the time I can even feel depressed and then I just want to be alone I feel like if I do something I’ll screw it up or something will go wrong so a lot of times I just rather avoid it all I feel so much better staying home and maybe having a drink turns out anxiety is a very common mental health symptoms it can be the main sign of generalized anxiety disorder which I have or social anxiety disorder which is when people have a fear of being in public or meeting new people for those of us with social or generalized anxiety disorders it’s really difficult to live the way we want to live some people have anxiety about really specific things they are afraid of heights snakes spiders or something else these are called phobias and when people avoid these things anxiety mostly stays away but when people can’t avoid their phobias it is a real problem
some people experience anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder which can make people really overcome with anxiety in these conditions anxiety can be so intense that people are at risk for suicide and they use alcohol or drugs to cope and sometimes their lives feel like they come to a halt I’m one of the lucky ones my doctor told me how to get the treatment that would help me and it did I understand now what my anxiety feels like when it happens and what I can do about it I learned some great coping skills and even just naming it keeps it in perspective sometimes my anxiety can still get pretty big but it doesn’t seem to last quite as long as it used to my anxiety was treatable for most people this is true you can get your life back to where you want it to be I know I’ve got mine back [Music]
