I feel a bit “late to the party” since I only just recently discovered The Nerdist podcast but I’m really glad I came across it. I heard Chris mention his experience with panic attacks in one episode and I could totally relate. I hope his sound advice helps as many of you as possible. There’s also a program out there called The Linden Method that has really helped me. While I don’t wish panic attacks on anyone it sorta makes me feel a bit better knowing I’m not alone. What the heck… a round of virtual hugs for EVERYONE from me!

I’m glad to read this. I have panic attacks frequently and actually had one earlier today, so this is really cool to read. I am a big Nerdist fan and reading this coming from you is pretty cool.

I was wandering the internet in search of help concerning my panic attacks, and as a frequent visitor of the Nerdist, when a link to this page popped up I was immediately intrigued. Thanks so much Chris H. I will definitely try to follow the information you provided, its kind of nice to know that someone famous actually experiences these frightening episodes. So I’ll just try and breathe and convince myself I’m not dying.

Wow, this is great Chris. I’ve never heard a better description of panic attacks! I’ve had them for about 10 years now, and it is really frustrating trying to explain to someone how you are SURE you are going to die. You are right right, breathing exercises are SOOO helpful. I got to the point where I could not leave my house (that’s right kids, the word for today is, Agoraphobia!). I did go the medication route, which helped me get control of my life again. But I applaud anyone who can change their habits enough to quell the buzzing, writhing animal that is the adrenaline dump/chemical overload. I wish you all the best in your quest for peace! Yoga is really helpful too!
I love you nerdist, you make me giggle and guffaw =D

I wish I had found this so much sooner. I am a panic attack sufferer, too. Sometimes I even have them before something really good happens to me. Did that ever happen to you?

I realize this blog post is from a while back, nevertheless thanks!
It’s really reassuring to hear I’m not the only person who has suffered from these, but also that someone I admire has experienced it. Its true that people don’t really understand wth a panic attack is and think you’re just a weirdo. But it feels nice to be a weirdo with the nerdist.
