How Ben Beat Anxiety

Ben, went through You Tube and was encouraged to hear people sharing about panic attacks. Admitting that you have panic attacks is a scary thing, especially sharing them as a man because you fear exposing your weakness and vulnerability.

3 1/2 years ago he had his first panic attack in London when attending a pub where his now ex-girlfriend was performing a show. Suddenly a wave of tightness came over his chest and throat, he didn’t know how to handle it and retreated to the toilet, inside the toilet he was trying to calm himself down and console himself. He became freaked out about the thoughts he had in his head, they overwhelmed him, he felt the urge to cry and he did, all he wanted to do was go back home. He later had a massive panic attack at home later that night.

What’s great is that he is no longer experiencing it. At the time of panic attacks he was pushing life – working out, drugs, working hard at work, it all appeared to overwhelm his body. In the last couple of years he has learned a lot, on his video he links to some resources that helped him along the way of his own recovery.
