It wasn't that bad.
it doesn't look like much because people with anxiety learn how to cover it up. but on the inside it's horrifying.
I've had panic attacks before. They begin with my heart racing, making me think I'm having a heart attack. In trying to not panic to keep it from getting worse, that helps bring on a stronger panic attack, and, my heart races faster. The only thing that keeps it from getting even worse than that is to concentrate on breathing. I thought my heart was going to knot up and stop beating, thus, I tried to buy myself some time by breathing a lot. Instead, it helped bring me back to sanity as my heart began to calm down.
There's no reason to feel embarrassed. I bet most viewers didn't even realize that you were having a panic attack. We all get them and it's normal.
I think what he's talking about is an anxiety attack. Panic attacks come out of nowhere/are not related to (consciously, anyway) thoughts going through our head. Anxiety attacks occur when you worry/obsess over something so much that you progressively get more and more worried until it acutely physically affects you. They're similar but not the same thing.
Wish Dump would have one.
That was a freak out? A melt down? I expected Zoidberg "Woo woo woo woo!" I thought I'd hear Benjy Bronk with Perez Hilton's finger up his asshole and shrieking (search for it–you won't be disappointed, other than it's audio, not video).
That looked like a falling out from exhaustion, a checking out… certainly not freaking or melting.
White ppl can't read a fucking TelePrompter and calls it a panic attack.Lame.

Dan Harris you were all to human but you took care of yourself and I'm so glad you did. Bravo and good health and love. 😊❤️😊❤️
gay all day. quit being a pussy is the problem
I wish I could handle myself like this. my heart is beating out of my chest, I can't feel the air filling my lungs, my vision tunnels in, my insides are on fire, I'm shaking violently and my muscles are cramping up while I'm having a panic attack. When it's finally over, I realize that I've pulled some muscles, clawed my own skin off, and in one case pissed myself. Panic attacks are living nightmares and I live in fear every day of having my next one.
its bloody normal dude… its called human
Yes! I had a panic attack last week out of nowhere while giving an group presentation in my psychology class (ironic I know- especially since we were presenting on anxiety/phobia/ptsd). I wasn't nervous at ALL until I started talking them my response was just like his.
This was happening to me when i was in High school recitation infront of my teacher & classmates. I was black out forget the lines of the poem. Then classmates starts laughing.. then i walk out and sat excuse i need to drink a cup of water. Then returns back its gone. I just ignore the laughter and embarrassment. What Ever the Show must go on…
This is a spiritual disorder. Not mental or physical.
poor man i can relate
i dont think that it worked it is dry for a good topic like inner voice, its like Hitler speaking about morality
OMG …… I JUST REALIZED I'M A PRETEND JOURNALIST ON A FAKE NEWS SHOW THAT PUMPS OUT CELEBRITY GARBAGE AND CORPORATE-STATE PROPAGANDA *GASP
well I love Clonazepam and feel good…
Good have more attacks you Fake news scum
THANK YOU SO MUCH WITH THIS VIDEO!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO HELP SO MANY PEOPLE!!!
How does someone get a panic attack
I had that for YEARS! Its like the emotional "reality" and "unreality" in your mind get confused,and youre stuck in panic with no answer and no way out..Therapy showed I was a people pleaser ,that could never say "NO!"..I needed to learn to set "boundries" for myself..I was in Therapy for 3 years,before I showed improvement ..
He handled that amazingly
Pills
I'm no news anchor, but I have panic attacks and I recognize that is what happened to him: the tremendous heat which starts about the sternum and floods your whole face till every neuron in your brain hurts and you're bloody frozen with sheer unmerited terror… If you've never had one, thank God, or the stars, or you genetics; thank whatever or whomever, because those of us who have panic attacks, I'll sum it up: your own personal Hell, when your brain attacks itself and your body so irrationally and you're completely powerless to stop it.
If that is a panic attack for him, sign me up.
I have severe mental illness and physical disability I was discharged from the US Army for… medical records and 6+ yrs of detailed therapist notes… taking 5-6 different meds a day…. During my disability hearing in front of the judge I had one of the worst panic attacks I've ever had…. and with all of that I was still denied SSDI disability.
I miss Joan Lunden and David Hartman on Good Morning America. That is why I do not watch that show anymore. They both were honest and down to earth.
Yea I've had many panic attacks I've never seen one so composed before I wish mine were this calm. They are the worst especially in public.
I have panic attacks, I feel so bad for him. He handle it better then I would have. I remember I had one during class and it was so embarrassing.
what a brave exposay…….
don't be embarassed as someone with first hand experience of a type of ptsd to talk about this is so important. especially the journey around your mind and back to the beginning. I describe it as the round trip collecting answers. your life goes on hold as you explore your own mind and collect solutions and reasons for what is happening and then life begins again where you left off, still yourself but armed with knowlege that makes you stronger, better and more complete as an evolved human being.
Stupid 30 second advertisement that I can't skip. I hate you!
What a fucking boss!
So basically he was smoking too much weed. That's an easy one.
idk. looks like the dude is just on cocaine, and had to come up with an excuse.
I almost had a damned panic attack in anticipation of him having a panic attack. FTS
i have had 3 in my life. not fun
This is the biggest bunch of shit ever basically saying ignore your mind and thoughts and just do as you please and live the life you want to live. Talking about horror and adrenaline at war like what a comparison. Crazy that's all I can say
here America here is your HUGE PACIFIER MY TITTY.
Amazing indeed how people are so babyish .
The fact that there are so many views on this video raises my suspicion that people who don't suffer from a mental illness only clicked on it to see the stereotype they see in movies. The amount of dislikes only confirms this theory that people came here looking forward to watching someone suffer, bask in their own pain, and play into the stereotypical yet very small side of panic attacks and anxiety. This man is not some circus act for you to watch hyperventilate and break down for your own amusement and enjoyment, a video you will pass by and wait for the big show to be over. Only when you see that this type of panic attack this man has is not what you expected or wanted, not cinematic or dramatic whatsoever, you wallow in your own disappointment and click away once his attack is through with. You don't care about his life, you don't care about his book or his message or his journey. You don't give a shit about mental illness because it doesn't affect you- you only want to be entertained. I have been alive for seventeen years and I do not remember a waking moment where I did not soak in my mental illness, feel it seep in through my pores and become each piece of me until it became all of me. This man is a fucking inspiration to all of us with anxiety- he gives us a sense of hope that things will get better someday because we can't see that ourselves. You people, with your clear as day fucking futures, who want to see people like us suffer need to learn that we are not fucking sideshow freaks that you can watch for fun. Mental illness is extremely serious and not something for you to gawk at. This man is phenomenal and I applaud him for how far he has come- he brings me a sense of hope that I would not have otherwise.
good man for being upfront and honest about it 🙂
If only you would have one and then just go away. You make me ashamed I ever watched ABC.
