How two panic attacks were treated in the house. - Page 5

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.

Not at all. Sana is not at all autistic. Infact Sana has acted according to the situations till now....all being her calculated moves. Seeing Himanshi’s ignorance towards her , she feared the attention which was showered on her till now by HMs and audience could now b challenged by Himanshi. She loves attention which is more obvious on weekends where she suddenly turns kiddish with the host. She is as matured and as intelligent as anyone else. Which is y her presumed cuteness looks and is fake. The way she reacted to Aarti’s panic attack shows her ruthless nature.

I am not even commenting on whether Sid should have stood for Aarti when Paras commented on her. I am just saying Aarti has been always in support of Sana and Sid and both showed their true shade when she needed them humanity wise on her panic attack.

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.

Well I can’t speak for anyone else on the forum, but I did tell people then to respect mental health and recognise her panic attack and the depression thereafter. As much as I don’t like Sana I’ve never ridiculed her for her mental health, weight, looks, character. I hate her personality and her behaviour and I’m allowed to criticise her for the same, just like everyone else is for other contestants.

A general fact sheet about panic attacks for those interested

And how conveniently , just for the sake of bashing , everyone is ignoring that Asim asked Sid to leave the room and that’s why Sana said don’t go there . And anyways Arti was doing it because she is nominated .

Only Sid haters can’t see it . By everyone else can .

Okay i concede that it was a pretense. Bit her body language clearly shows how anxious she is. It cannot be ignored. Baki jise jo believe karna hai, they are free to! Thats the beauty if this forum, isnt it?

What the post is about how the people in the house reacted to both panic attacks/anxiety/meltdown. How artis issues were not only dismissed but actually was taunted.

Taunt sana ka bhi hua, here on the forum and in the bbh too. But this post is just about how bbh members reacted to both situations and not how forum reacted. No one used uncouth rude language to do that for sana, did they?

There lies the difference

I still don't know the root cause of my panic attack even after so many years.i would sleep for 3 -4 hrs only for years.I used to take medicines for piles and used to be super anxious.Felt as if hd to go washroom all the time..

It started somewhere like this.Then I was scared to go to theatres or anywhere or anywhere I feel trapped .Later I couldn't control myself when traffic signal would go red and get trapped in middle of people.Then I couldn't cross a divider and go to other side of road.I feared making mockery of myself.I stopped using vehicles.Nkw even if someone else is driving ,I do feel uneasy and feel choked on flyovers .

A dal boiling in cooker made be puke for 2 years .other boiling things also had same effect.

The day I m having fever ....I vomit even if I smell the vegetable cutting.

I used to use inhaler....not anymore.I used to do Pranayam nd I would keep breathing that way throughout months leading to lung exhaustion.

When I have panic attack....I feel I would lose control ...Before nobody wanted to accept ...there is a problem.

I and my family thought i m not making efforts to get well...It took 10 year for me to really understand .My friends who are doctors forced me to see doctor.Then no one in my family had history for it to be chronic.

So it got traced to not sleeping well.

I’m so sorry for all that you had to go through. Good to know you’re doing better now. It’s never easy with these things and it’s a long journey but one step at a time makes a lot of difference.

Good luck and hope you keep getting better and better everyday!

When sana acted the way she acted....she was ridiculed because we saw her counting wrong on fingers on wkvs.She acted on wkvs.So peoplemde fun of her.Only when she used to sit alone...there was sympathy for her.Aarti was also bashed for her Shimla story and many more.

People who say....Aarti is getting sympathy and San was bashed....should please see the number of topics made in forum to mock Aarti .First 2 weeks Aarti got sympathy but her Shukla Jaap made people indifferent to her.

Yesterday all those dialogues she used to mouth about Sid....and her crying in garden is what made people realise what is happening.

When Sana had that...she had support of all.

For Aarti there was no support....plus they are making fun of her...

And next Sana's condition and Aarti's condition are two different.

🤗 Just wanted to give you one. And you're very brave. It's not easy dealing when family is skeptical. Most of the times when we see patients we prefer of there's an attendant who tags along cause everyone needs a support system. You can do it alone, no doubt. But knowing someone else is standing, gives a greater push in a lot of cases. And it's a sad truth but a lot of people still equate Depression, Anxiety and other mental illnesses to EXCUSES and as LAZINESS. When there's actually a lot more going on.

Am glad you sought help and received it. There's still so much stigma attached to Mental Health. But yes a dialogue has definitely been opened up in the recent years which is making it easier for people to seek treatment.

Thankyou TM for making this thread. I know we come here to discuss an entertainment show like BB but that’s why I love this forum where through a Medium of a show like BB we can discuss Issues like mental health for once keeping our likes and dislikes for particular contestants away.

Thankyou once again!

The first victim, who cried for support to each HM was seen unaffected by Arti's meltdown and even advised Shukla to not go to her coz she is not his mausi's ladki. Such an innocent POS she is

@bold - cannot stand such people who believe in harming others instead of just sitting quiet if being good is not their cup of tea

Being recently diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder, here are a few things I learned

1. You may seem confident. So much that you yourself don't realize how much strength it takes to fake being confident

2. You do things even when your whole mind and body literally pŕotests against doing it. And that shows, like restless legs, playing with hair, chewing lips, blabbering, and these are the only visible outward signs

3. Inwardly an anxious person keeps thinking, overthinking, palpitations, a sense of disappearing, fear, etc keep manifesting

4. Many anxious people, including me, form bonds and become quite dependent on those around us, a blind loyalty. It's our own doing. Our shortfall. Because we expect way too much in return but can never voice it out. The pressure keeps on building.

5. While we can stew with big things, small things break us.

6. "Unhygienic" conditions are part of depression and anxiety too.

Now we have seen 2 panic attacks in the house.

One panic attack happened a few weeks back when an unwanted life-altering stinking controversy physically walked in the BBH with himanshi. And sana broke down. I have a son who is autistic and keeps having meltdowns. What can experienced was a full-blown meltdown. She was loved, adored, given attention and she saw all that crumbling with himanshis entrance. She had people surrounding her. Aarti, sid, paras, bhau, arhan, and aarti. Everyone was there and pledged their allegiance to her. They didn't even know what the story is. Yet the all stood by her. they didn't know what a meltdown is. They stood by her.

Another meltdown and panic attack happened yesterday. Whatever the reason may be. It did. It may not have been as huge as a stinking controversy but it was huge for the one suffering. The person who suffered has always been anxious. There have bee huge glaring signs.

1. Physical manifestations of anxiety - restless, shaking, jaw movements, rocking the upper body while sitting

2. Not able to articulate her feelings as emotions take over.

3. Dependent on her object if affection to return the feelings.

4. Having too many expectations from people around her

5. A burning need to please those for whom she cares

And she broke down yesterday. The difference this time that her panic attack didn't include pouting lips and tiny pudgy fists rubbing eyes or wailings. And another difference is people not realizing. These showbiz people undermining mental illness. For them, a mental condition is way below their personal equations. The things said by the few people about the panic attacks were offensive. Especially the taunts by someone who has already faced such a breakdown in the house once was bitter.

Now should arti leave? No. She shouldn't. Because it must have taken a huge strength to come here. To survive, to be ignored, pushed away and humiliated, yet to stand by what she thinks is right, takes bravery. I am not her fan, I find ger annoying. Yet I relate to her. And I am aghast that people taunted her panic attack in bbh.

Koi Haath Bhi Na Milaayega Jo Gale Miloge Tapaak Se,

Ye Naye Mizaaj Ka Shehar Hai Zara Faasle Se Mila Karo.

Very well written 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
