How two panic attacks were treated in the house. - Page 3

It was appalling the lack of sympathy they showed, absolutely appalling. Especially from Shukla and Shehnaz.

I don’t think Shehnaz is autistic. Her breakdown was in the form of a tantrum that could be due to a mild ADHD type of disorder or other reasons but whatever the origins, the fact is, housemates felt for her and were disturbed, empathising with her. Arti was there comforting her from the beginning. It’s so awful that Shehnaz behaved the way she did yesterday.

No no, she isnt autistic. I was jist talking about how i recognized that her breakdown was actually a meltdown.

Thankyou for atleast acknowledging that Sana had a panic attack- a neurotic breakdown of sorts. Hardly anybody does that here and frames it as nautanki, drama and more. And people expect breakdowns to follow some rigid robotic stereotype, when it can vary from person to person.

What makes this situation tough for Sana to emotionally empathize is that she is aware the victim here has issues with her and her attitude. And with Sid’s attitude too, irrespective of whether they are right or not. Sana going to her would only aggravate or suppress it and Sid going to her would give her wrong signals and just make her further emotionally dependent. Few therapists in this situation would advice either Sana or Sid to attend to Aarti under said circumstances, especially given the context of the earlier conversations he had had with her.

Panic attacks can be isolate or part of a generalized anxiety disorder which people are diagnosed with and some are prescribed medicines for. It is not something that someone can easily switch off from all of a sudden. It needs to be managed by a professional.

Thanks TM for writing this post. People in real life do go through it and for it to be questioned or mocked on SM and forums is something completely against what our society is slowly coming to terms with and accepting.

I am sorry, I have not denied the existence of panic attacks it GAD.

Exactly i actually had more problems with Sana’a behaviour than Shukla’s. Shukla we have all established by now lacks EQ and empathy for anyone other than Sana.

But Sana despite her zillion flaws always kind of seemed empathetic to me. Her total vileness about arti’s condition was a shocker for me! Especially given she too was kind of depressed when Himanshi came in and everybody tried really hard to please her! She could have been there for Arti In her moment of crisis.

Yep, no arguments that she had a meltdown.

And all the best, living with anxiety! 👍

Well, whether it was a panic attack, a meltdown, a fake drama (as some believe) or just plain upset...whatever it was. The least you can do is be sympathetic, supportive and listen to that person’s view.

If people start deliberating this much before empathizing, be it a tiny experimental pod of bbh or this huge world, tab to ho hi gaya!

No, empathy should never be about personal equations and deliberations and analysis

Alright even taking the line that Sana didn’t go to her, you think it’s okay for her to tell Sid- that why should you care for her, is she your mausi’s daughter.

You can support someone and be someone’s fan but you can call them out when they do something’s that’s just against any kind of decency. Sana for all her flaws and I mean I hate her basically didn’t lack empathy till now on the show. But suddenly in her quest to be loyal to Shukla she’s forgetting the very basic innate empathy that she did have.

Either she was faking it all along or she did do a callous thing by making that intensive statement. Hope you can Atleast recognise that.

Hi Priya you should definitely read up on it a bit more. No offence taken, but it’s not at all what you think it is.

It’s not about worrying about something- but sometimes something just triggers your brain and this weird fear creeps in and you can’t shake it off no matter how much you try( no kind of mindfulness helps) - you can’t breathe, you feel you can’t live and don’t know what to do. It’s a feeling of utter disdain, pain and it’s so defeating in itself.

Depression and anxiety don’t get cured with mindfulness I wish they did. They take years of medicines, therapy, meditation, breathing excersies and even then you don’t know when they will make a come back.
But also this doesn’t mean a person needs to stop living their life or experiencing things at all. Sooner or later you just to live with it while fighting it at the same time! It takes some kind of bravery to let people see this so openly, and I support Arti for that.

Sure, sorry don’t know your name, despite knowing your id, I certainly will.

I’m not a psychiatrist and won’t boast I know all about it, but certainly, I know more than what a Layman would know. It’s the trigger that causes the somatic manifestations of anxiety. And I deal with people with it daily and calming them just asking them to focus on their breathing, helps terminate the attack by activating your inbuilt systems that help relax.
