Panic

Or we may develop a sexual anxiety as an alternative to thinking about our sense of self-worth and the childhood that destroyed it.

Panic may be invited to shield us from more profound sources of self-aware agony.

And yet, of course, we're always better off getting to the root cause of our troubles rather than filling our minds with diversionary panic.

And in order to do so, we would be wise at points to ask ourselves a simple but possibly highly revealing question.

Now, here is Dana Andrews as Matt Sabatik, undercover man.

Plan.

The heat has been with us for weeks now.

The worst tyranny of all is tyranny over the minds of men.

Our greatest Americans have always fought that worst of oppressions.

Panic, hysteria, surrender to rumor, or tyranny over your minds.

Reject them.

Oh, gosh.

Well, I guess for this, you can call me Panic.

I haven't really put my name out there.

Panic, where does that come from? When I was about 13 or something, just playing this silly online game, and I would always panic, so they started calling me Panic.

So, I mean, without revealing your name, if you don't want to, who are you? I'm just a 35-year-old software engineer.

Father.

I read books, I watched movies, my life revolved around the Beatles.

And I can say pretty confidently, I would not be playing music had I not fallen in love with the Beatles back then.

Panic is our safe word.

You are inside the signal.

There is no outside.

And I'm here every week to answer your most pressing questions, hopefully with understanding, insight, and advice.

Panic disorder is a serious condition that around one out of every 75 people actually have.

It usually starts in adolescence or early adulthood.

And while the exact causes are unclear, there does seem to be a connection with major life transitions that are potentially stressful, like graduating from college or getting married or having a first child.

Or where, for example, you fear being stuck should you have a panic attack.

And it is this debilitating fear or worry about the panic attacks themselves that constitutes panic disorder.

Panic disorder is a serious mental health problem, but it can be successfully treated.

Two to three percent of Americans have panic disorder at some point in their lives.

That anxiety is an alarm system letting you know you're not safe.

Panic is your body taking over saying you're not getting this message.

I'm shutting the whole system down.

Mm-hmm.
