A message to all the people who suggests to smoke some weed to get rid of an episode… Do you people know what is a panic attack? Have you suffered hundreds of them already? To me and to a whole bunch of people, a panic attack is comparable to a weed bad trip. The difference being, if you’re having a bad trip, your can tell yourself that you are high and this will pass. Explain to me how smoking a joint can help you go through a bad trip you might have? This is non-sens. At least to me…
I had some heavy panic attacks in the past. I wouldn’t say I’m 100% cured now, but I constantly try facing my fears (simple and hard exercises), and that has given me a sense of freedom and control. When you feel weak, insecure or incapable, you let panic control your life. The worst thing is to avoid situations or places where you feel unsafe.
This is a good vid,I have had them for about 10 years.I did not have one all this year yet, I downloaded the panic away program off the net…NO im not trying to sell shit..This works..for me anyway..It says you have to hit it head on, Be happy when one starts and act like you told it to happen…I have what everyone has,I used to panic, call 911, feel like im going to die. You have to no what it is and why it is doing it…Its realy nothing..But you have to see it that way.
bad idea to smoke weed if you have panic attacks, i smoked it for 9 months every day until one day after 3 years of relative sanity i had a massive panic attack after smoking weed. but i guess it is a person by person basis type of thing, i certainly do not fault the weed, and believe it helps a lot of people. i have been panicking for 3 months now after that initial reaction to the green. it looks like you were not considering it anyway, but i figured i would tell my story lol.
@EvilBlakBunny I don’t know lol, but i’m sure you can get some if you ask the right kind of people
Doctors can perscribe it of you state allows doctors to do so for medical reasons and what you have would be considerd a legit medical reason to use it which is why I think all 50 states should allow doctors to prescribe it you those types of medical reasons. I heard it really does releave panic attacks though cause you go into a really mind altering relax state.
Great video makes sense! What you said is 100% true i suffer from very bad panic/agoraphobia and i for one an tell you, you need someone to hold while going threw this. you just to reinusure you that everything is ok because i go into a zone of fear i cant even talk while its happening i feel like i’m jumping out of my skin. it’s the worst feeling and you need reinsurance not more fear.from a perspn who doesn’t understand!
I have several panic attacks a day, and recently I learned a few things that work for me…as the panic attacks are random and for no reason..if I’m in the car I use the same song to associate with calming me down each time…sort of hypnotizing myself…Xanax isn’t helping me anymore, but so far, this is helpful. I haven’t overcome it, but I’ve learned a few tricks while trying to


another thing that helps is is to yell really loud. Also jerk around and make sudden movements when you’re talking to that person
