Her dad made her have a panic attack | Anxiety Chats S2E50
Today's anonymous story is from an absolutely brave and amazing 16 year old. They find extremely difficult to cope with sudden changes to their normal routine, this often leads to a massive panic attack.
When you deal with severe anxiety, it's normal to develop some habits or behaviors to feel safe, and for this person it was drinking ice cold water.
So an ice machine was the perfect gift to receive, this meant they always had super cold water after they felt a panic attack coming on or just to feel calm.
It's already hard enough trying to cope with mental health issues, but even more so when not everyone close to you is supportive.
This story describes what happened when a family member starts using the ice machine without asking and how it triggered an anxiety attack. Made worse by the fact this family member didn't seem to care and wasn't interested in understanding.
This heartbreaking story is not really about the "ice machine" but more about how important understanding, compassion and love are when supporting sufferers of crippling anxiety and what happens when those needs are not met.
I was so thrilled to be joined by the lovely Yeliena, a hypnotherapist who helps woman with anxiety. Yelena also offered some beautiful heartfelt thoughts for this person and also touches on the importance of healthy communication and the impact of personal filters.
Like this person at 16 I was also struggling with my mental health and I really understand that real need to feel safe, to feel supported, and to be understood. I felt really honored to read this story and offer my thoughts too.
