Psychiatrist films her own panic attack. #drsasha #panicattack #anxiety #shorts

I’ve come to realize for me when i feel a panic attack coming that i can’t stop, the best option for me in the moment is deep breathing and distractions. Counting back from 100 is a very helpful method for me.

I dont think you realize how much it means to me to see an actual psychiatrist who still struggles. It's ok to not always be ok.

I'm so sorry 😭 I've had panic attacks too. I'm sure you know about square breathing and Wim Hof.

I’m a medical student, once I was seeing my patient and my attending doctor came and started yelling at me unfairly ( it doesn’t really matter tho if it was fair or not) and I was trying to control my emotions but then it turned into a panic attack, I felt I can’t breathe and Was shaking and crying uncontrollably and couldn’t talk to be able to explain that I’m having a panic attack, but she kept screaming so I just left the room and went to the ER and got treated, but my attend forced me to take the whole course again because she thought it was disrespectful that I left the room and told me even if I was dying I should have stayed, mind you she was a doctor and yet couldn’t understand what it’s like to panic

I am at the tail end of a panic attack now, and I appreciate knowing I’m not alone. You are not alone

I hate panick attacks it really feels like you are dying and there is nothing that can help then I feel so embarrassed and ashamed for not having control of my own body/emotions

Panic attacks are such a horrible thing to feel😢

I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.

I was always shamed for being “so sensitive”. My thoughts then and now, are it’s such a shame you’re not sensitive, especially towards others. I e learned different ways to cope with social anxiety and feeling attacked. I remove myself from the environment. It’s so strange to me that other peoples feelings were always more important than mine and made to feel guilty and abnormal when my feelings are hurt.

As someone who suffers from OCD, which is an anxiety disorder, I know the feeling of extreme anxiety. It’s really hard. Stay strong tho.

Thank you for putting this online. I always feel like I’m overreacting and start talking myself down and I know that other people experience panic attacks too. People talk about them but you never really see them, so this feels really reassuring to me some how. That I’m not exaggerating and I’m not faking it. So thank you for being so brave. This meant a lot to me. ❤️

not my throat tightening watching you have a panic attack... glad you're ok now and thanks for sharing what helped you❤

Thank you for your sharing your vulnerable moment. I completely relate to the reaction you experienced and appreciate the tips 🙏

Why is this so relatable it made me cry. Trying to help people in the face of anguish

This hit something. You’re not alone!

As someone who has come from hour long panic attacks daily to very rarely having panic attacks my advice is to actually stay in the place that caused the panic because your brain thinks there’s a “threat” and if you leave you’re actually reinforcing that. Also take slow deep breaths, try to stay still, and tell yourself “I am okay, it’s just a panic attack and nothing more, this feeling is temporary.”

I have been experiencing those panic attacks daily ever since I lost my job it is awful. Thankfully I have a wonderful daughter that understands me. What helps me is going for a walk and breath outside….

How do y’all talk when having a anxiety attack or panic attack I can’t I can barely say anything

Wow you are such a real person. I would do anything to be treated by a psychiatrist like you. You’re openness & honestly is what I’m looking for. I have gone to several therapists & a couple psychiatrists. None of them have helped me as much as you & I only started following about a week ago. Having ADHD yourself & being a Dr you can totally relate to how difficult life can be with this condition. Thank you so much for sharing this. It shows how caring & kind you are to others. I believe you are helping others with this post. Whoever told you that is your purpose was spot on. Thank you very much I am so appreciative of your help. Do you think panic attacks are more prevalent with ADHD?

You are not alone with this. Its taken me 17 years to understand, acknowledge and know how to talk myself out of a panic attack. Its still very hard but anyone can do it. You are not alone. I say that again because a lot of people think they are the only ones, you're not. And that is ok. You are ok. Dealing with this pressure inside, outside and all around you is hard but when you learn to understand what your mind is putting you through you can win in that moment. Thank you for being vulnerable with us and showing others its ok to be human. One Love 🤘🏼💚
