Katya is such an inspiration. I have struggled with extreme anxiety and panic attacks since I was 8 years old (I'm 17 ). "Controlling" my anxiety has always been an issue for me and by watching this video I feel like I finally have a "friend" who understands what I am going through. That's why Katya is so special, we (fans) might not know her personally but it feels like we have met a long time ago.
Something I remind myself of when I struggle with the validity of what I feel or am going through is a conversation taking place between Harry Potter and Dumbledore in Deathly Hallows- "Tell me one last thing," said Harry. "Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?" ... "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?".
katya means so much to me. i got to meet her a few days ago and it was amazing. im going through a rough time right now and im sitting on the ground making bracelets listening to her speak. she has helped me through so much and if i could give her the world i would in a heartbeat.
Anyone with anxiety attacks needs to get checked for reactive hypoglycemia. (Though most doctors dont have a clue about it) Basically your body goes into fight or flight in response to a large insulin release usually after consuming high carbohydrate/sugary foods. Your blood sugars may still register as normal but because of the sudden dip caused by the high insulin release you body will go into fight or flight causing a major anxiety attack including rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, and feelings of impending doom. If your anxiety attacks are caused by reactive hypoglycemia taking a couple tablespoons of food grade glycerin will make it stop. Hope this helps someone. I lived in hell for months before I figured out the cause of my symptoms. Now I stay on a low carb/no sugar diet and never had another anxiety attack. God bless all.
Panic attacks are terrifying I remember this summer working somewhere and I had this really bad panic attack and I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t think and I just froze and I started coughing and I had no clue what the hell was happening. It’s so nice to have someone to relate to💕
