Anxiety affects us all in different ways. For ABC news Anchor Dan Harris, secretly living with anxiety finally took its toll the form of a severe panic attack - on live TV (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/03/13/dan-harris-panic-attack-on-air_n_4958884.html). We were thrilled to have Dan come by and share his story, but even more thrilled to learn from him what we can do about our own issues with panic and anxiety.
Aftershocks of the attack?
Dan had never gone through anything like what he felt on that fateful day in 2004, when he experienced his panic attack live on Good Morning America. He had experienced small attacks before, and has had a few subsequent scares, but you wouldn't know it from his confident and calm onscreen persona.
Confidence may be a front
How does he do it? "People put up fronts of all varieties," says Dan. Anxiety and panic are a "neurochemical thing", not necessarily reflected in behavior or appearance. It doesn't matter how confident you are, if you're using drugs and not getting help for your ailments, like Dan was at the time. "I was artificially boosting the levels of adrenaline in my brain, and not getting enough sleep," before he had his attack.
As confident as he may seem, it is't necessarily his most effective state. "We are our best [as people] when we have enough doubt, but it isn't crippling," says Dan. "I'm at my worst when I'm overconfident or complacent."
