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

Exactly.

No 2 crores and no weekly remuneration is worth this. Game and empathy should not be confused with. I hope shukla ji and associates get that

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.

I dunno why I wasn’t shocked. Maybe it’s because we’re seeing so many bitchy/nasty scenes from her of late. First when she involved herself into that Shukla-Rashmi fight, then when she was referring to Rashmi as a nobody in bully mode and yesterday, after Shefali nominated her, she stared at Shefali in this really bitchy way, which I found quite ugly.

Also, just to add a few more points - Anxiety, Depression and a whole slew of mental health related disorders are NOT DUE TO BEING WEAK MINDED.

It has to do with dysregulation of neurotransmitters in the brain. Also, there's a specific time period for the diagnosis of these conditions. The way we loosely use the words "Arre woh toh depression mein chali gayi..." That's not how it works.

Even forum treated two panic attacks differently. Sana's panic attack was mocked upon ridiculed with sadistic pleasure deriving gifs where as Arti's evoked compassion. Funny to see forum pointing fingers at certain contestants when they themselves behaved the same on this forum. Hypocrisy is everywhere.

There is a world of difference between the 2 people who have suffered these attacks. They also have very different disorders imo.

Arti has constantly and visibly displayed symptoms of a typical patient with mental health conditions especially depression and anxiety and she too was mocked for it before. TM described these symptoms in the first post.

Sana on the other hand shows symptoms of a sociopathic or anti-social personality disorder in my opinion. I make this judgement based on what I've seen of her and my personal experience in this field.

Also, here's an article for everyone's reference:

I think we’re all ignorant at one time or another - until we personally suffer from anxiety/panic attacks or see someone go through an attack.

I experienced it for the first time when a work colleague had a panic attack, out of nowhere, and she wasn’t breathing, just sobbing and sobbing.. paper bag didn’t help so we called an ambulance. And it happened again a few more times. I learnt more about it, and got to know of more people and their different experiences.

I don’t have a problem with people who are ignorant of it, but I find it sad when they do come across it - those people don’t open their minds or they hold a dismissive attitude instead of an understanding one, seeking to learn what it is.

Those two - Shukla and Shehnaz came across so dismissive and on top of that, childish & spiteful.

Personally I don’t believe Sana’s reaction to Himanshi was a panic attack, I believe she was overreacting/over-acting. Her reaction to Arti speaks volumes as she would’ve been more sensitive to her.

Even yesterday when Arti was crying ‘mama’ in the corner I thought it was acting, however after her conversation with Shukla, her reaction then I thought was genuine and I thought she needed an inhaler as I wasn’t sure if she’s asthmatic or not, yes panic attacks are not a joke, I’ve experienced this in the past. It’s also a cause of depression which is something she also deals with.

I was going to post a similar post. Yes what Sana had was not a panic attack, it was kind of a temper tantrum.

Very well written! Wish people were more considerate in the house as well as outside.

Really Sorry, don’t mean to be rude, but I’m impatient and cannot read such long posts, but panic attacks is a problem in the mind of the person, they are worrying about something which is non existent and not happened at all.

Mindfulness helps overcome the problem and Aarti should have been aware of it.

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.

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

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.

Hi I’m Veera.

I explained anxiety to you in the way i experience it. I’ve had depression and anxiety for years now. I don’t get panic attacks much anymore but yes the breathing deep breathing helps( that’s exactly what Shefali was trying yesterday with Arti) but it doesn’t fix it. Plus the depression a panic attack leaves you with after is even worse. Anyway great job that you help people deal with problems like these.
