like heart palpitations i can be sweating i can be trembling i can be shaking the most common thing i hear in my practice is i feel like i'm drowning and i think that's because we have those heart palpitations and we don't breathe very well and we feel like we're drowning and so these will happen usually in ten minutes or less and you can have a panic attack but only if and i want to make sure i say this correctly only if we have recurrent and unexpected panic attacks followed by at least a month of worry that we're going to have another do we have panic disorder okay? so that's how those differentiate because panic attacks can happen and some of us with generalized anxiety disorder may have a panic attack every once in a while when we're put in a really stressful situation but unless we have them recurrent and we worry about them all the time we don't have panic disorder we would have generalized anxiety disorder or agoraphobia with panic attacks okay? so that's how those are differentiated and just to give you an idea of how many other things are included under anxiety disorders we have panic disorder without agoraphobia panic disorder with agoraphobia so you can see how all of these can be attached on to one another with or without so that's why i just gave you you know those most common and what i hear most from you and what you wanted me to talk about so that is an umbrella view in the most common panic related and anxiety related disorders and different attacks that we can have okay? so now what the heck do we do? well the first thing is i would definitely see a therapist and i would also look into seeing your doctor your gp or your psychiatrist because of the physical things that can come up when we have anxiety and we want to make sure that not only that our physical health is under control and managed but we also want to make sure that our anxiety isn't causing any damage to anything i mean i've had a client who had a little heart valve issue because of all the panic attacks and the breathing and i mean she had a predisposition to that before but you just want to make sure that everything is okay and that these aren't being caused by a medical condition and that's really important that's something that i don't think i mention enough is when we think we have a certain mental disorder that's why we need to go to our primary care doctor always because we want to make sure that it can't be attributed to something else because a lot of people will diagnose us and they'll be wrong and it's not because they're not good clinicians there's just a lot to factor in and i want to make sure that we know that this is not being caused by something else and if we cannot get these things under control and our panic attacks potentially are making school really hard or we could potentially lose our job and things like that we want to make sure that if we need medication they can give us that and they can help us out and a CBT therapist or just a regular talk therapist can really really help as we figure out where this came from why we're doing it and we can kind of talk ourselves out like i talked that downward arrow questioning and it can sometimes help us out of that so make sure to take a look at that don't forget to subscribe to my channel cuz i will do a video on OCD that will be coming up really soon so stay tuned for that and like i said i already did a video on PTSD and i've done some videos on anxiety 101 and breathing techniques cus those can help sometimes when we feel our anxiety building and so i would take a look at those and check those out and don't forget to leave your comments below i know many of you so many of you struggle with this and you've asked me to do this video so please leave your comments if there are other things you want me to talk about if you have tips and tricks and things that work for you please share them oru community is amazing and it's growing and you're all helping each other and i love to watch it to be honest it's very exciting so keep working with me keep helping one another as we work towards a healthy mind and a healthy body okay good yeah i'm overheating overheating if i was like a little thermometer i'd be like the little steam would be coming out and the little red light would be flashing okay time to get outside do something fun yeah yeah maybe get a tan because i am like a ghost yeah
