Bonus Episode 9 - Cody Has A Panic Attack, Live!

It’s weird, but I like to come back and listen to this cause back then I thought many people couldn’t relate. Been having a really bad panic attacks ever since I was a kid and listening made me realize I wasn’t alone. My anxiety controlled my life and I ended up having depression. Ignored it and it just made it a lot worst. My parents didn’t believe in mental health problems which just made things a lot worst. It may be crazy but listening to this podcast episode changed my life. I always like to come back and just listen again and realize how far I made it in life. Anxiety isn’t completely gone, neither is my depression. I’m at least making progress. I appreciate the work you guys put into this podcast and I’m grateful y’all still post.

Hey guys, just joined Patreon because I listened to all of the regular episodes on spotify. I listen to them at work and get about 8 of them done a day. I really enjoyed this episode because it made me realize what a panic attack actually was and I didn't ever think that it was something that would happen to me, but after hearing first hand experiences I have definatley had similar experiences. I used to have a dependency on caffeine during college and during my second year I was forced to drop out due to financial reasons. The whole year I knew it was going to happen and there wasn't anything I could do about it. One day, shortly before Christmas of that year it hit all at once. I dont remember it too well, but my roommate at the time told me that I wouldn't get out of bed and was shaking horribly. He asked what was wrong and I replied with "I dont know." And that was about all I could say. I missed 3 of my classes that day and then when it ended it was like it was all an out of body experience and when I "returned" I didnt, and still don't, have almost any recollection of the event. Its happened a few times since then over the last 3 years, but not near as bad since I left college. Thanks for letting me feel like this was a good place to share! I really appreciate you guys!

I’m listening to this super late I just joined the patreon but this has been one of my favourite bone zone episodes, helped me sm hearing my two favourite people talking about this shit. I had my first panic attack in year 7 (7th grade) and it was shitty. I really could relate to this. I’m lucky that I don’t get them anymore now I’m in collage. Love you guys

hey y’all, i know this episode is hella old but i had a rly bad panic attack tonight and decided to listen to this bc this podcast has helped calm me so much in the past. i’m for real in tears listening to this, especially the part where noel talks about not wanting to go on if he were always going to feel that way (relate to the part about “doing it to yourself” too— i smoked weed for ages before realizing it was making things worse). i’ve dealt with debilitating anxiety and ocd since before i can remember; it plagues me every day to at least some degree. it’s made every aspect of my life harder and has held me back from so many experiences that i could have had. i recently started taking medication 3 times a day for it and it has changed things in a big way for me, but i still have bad moments almost every day. anyway all this to say: this podcast has genuinely helped me so much. i started a new job recently and it has been a massive trigger for my anxiety, and i listen to this every day at work. y’all make me laugh so much and take my mind off whatever feelings i might otherwise be getting trapped in. idk why i’m even commenting but i just wanted to say thanks y’all. (also lol jus theses the part where noel says “maybe don’t drink 4 espresso shots” which i do....every day...😳)

I know I’m super late to the party but I get really bad anxiety with storms and Noel’s exercise really really helps. Thank you ❤️

I’ve had anxiety my whole life and kept all of this to myself because no one understood that it’s so much more than nervousness. So, it feels amazing to hear two people, going through it, talk about anxiety and offer tips to deal with it. I know this sounds lame but, it truly helps me to hear you guys put my feelings into words and to know others really do feel the way I do.

i appreciate u guys talking about this, sometimes i get so anxious i actually faint, and whenever i get anxious i listen to u guys. u help a lot of people, hope u realize that

It always nice hearing you guys when I’m getting ready for work at 4 then on then way to the city, it’s time to do my tiny meat gang tattoo today

Hey Cody!! This helps me a lot. <a href="https://youtu.be/bJJWArRfKa0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/bJJWArRfKa0</a>

This put how I feel with anxiety into words. It makes me feel much more normal knowing that other people feel exactly the same way

i love y’all even more for this episode. so refreshing to hear such honest conversation about anxiety

i love you guys for this. it was sorta hard to listen to but it honestly calmed me down so much to hear noel giving cody advice. you guys are the best

relatable

love you guys.. panic attacks and anxiety in general sucks. i actually had one the other day and it was the worst possible feeling. i’m sorry you had this happen cody, but i’m glad you had noel to help you through it ❤️

I legitimately started sobbing when Noel started trying to talk Cody down from the panic attack. I've had to deal with constant anxiety and depression for 8+ years and the two of you have helped keep me grounded since I started supporting both of you individually and together. Wow. Thank you.

Thanks guys 💞

Will

this ep honestly was so good to hear ❤️ its so helpful to people like me who have struggled with this for my whole life to hear this from you guys and it really means a lot like i can’t put the feeling into words but its lovely

the podcast keep me calm on my 45 min drive to work it’s my saving grace💕

this is crazy because i just started having terrible anxiety within the last 2 weeks and i had a class about stress anxiety control in college and then this video came out

i really loved this episode, i honestly have frequent panic attacks exactly like that and to hear other people understanding and overcoming it rly means a lot to me. like noel said, not to be soft, but like this ep legit made me cry bc its just so validating to know some of my fav content creators understand

hey this ep was rlly fuckin great, thank u guys for being so real with what y’all r going thru, it helps a lot to hear you guys talk so openly about ur struggles - more than u think !! i’m truly v grateful for both of y’all

Huge W of an ep bois ... spam up W in the chat

Cody’s anxiety experience was a fantastic thing to leave in. Especially with someone who really hasn’t dealt with this before. It really makes other people not feel so alone. You guys are really amazing friends to one another. You did a great job of grounding Cody, Noel.

You two are so mf important. This episode is important. Love you guys

As a swe coming off another 60 hour week this makes me want to scale down before some shit like that happens

I’ve used TMG so many times to get me through acute anxiety/that feeling of impending doom that leads up to a full on panic attack. It absolutely sucks that BOTH of you know how terrible panic attacks are bc I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy but I’m so glad you were able to articulate the experience. The way people talk about mental health now in such a broad and corny way is so detached from the reality of it. Like, no...yoga and intentional breathing doesn’t help everyone. Listening to a podcast called tiny meat gang is what does it for me. I’m sorry you had a panic attack in the yogurt section of Ralph’s Noel, but the next time I’m feeling extra bad I’m going to picture you in front of Ralph’s having an EKG and it will make me laugh. Your public humiliation won’t go to waste. Also, you guys should seriously consider unlocking this episode and putting it on YouTube. It’s just so good.

this was a good pod. you guys really cheer me up during my low points. i’ve been struggling with a handful of mental illnesses for my whole life and it was really cool to hear you guys talk so candidly about your mental health struggles. thanks for being so cool

NOEL DO THIS VIDEO!

The idea of a panic and anxiety is fucked and is taken seriously enough, I would have light ones in middle school just like getting super light headed and frozen, however, after middle school I got into a really prestigious high school that no one else from my school got into so going in I knew no one and was immediately overwhelmed by the pressure school was putting on me about month in during the school day I got I would consider my first big panic attack, I froze and couldn’t move my left hand and elbow my heart was pounding my mind zoned out everything around me and I felt true dread, in my state i was able to raise my right hand to ask to go to the bathroom, the teacher says yes and I go half way down the hallway and note can’t move my arm still fall down and can’t move my legs at this point I can’t even describe my fear, someone notices and gets help and I passed out around the time an ambulance arrived, turns out I had a seizure in the ambulance and have had similar scenarios all throughout high school before I go to sleep where my mind would just be racing and I’d loose all motion in my arm.

Codeine my man I feel you on the anxiety front. I was diagnosed with anxiety in third grade but don't remember anything like what I feel now until my sophomore year of high school. It's really hard sometimes, but you can beat it. It gets easier to manage over time as you learn your triggers and how to cope. There's no guarantee that it will be a common occurrence for you either. Therapy has helped me a lot, and as much as it's a struggle in the beginning, being open about it with the people around you is immensely helpful. Speaking of anxiety, you and uncle noel have helped me so god damned much. I'm 23 now, and have fucked up here and there, but I'm in a web development bootcamp right now, and a big part of why I took that route was hearing you and noel talk about web dev. I'm currently spending eighty hours a week frying my brain with Javascript, and your content gets me through it, anxiety and all. When I returned my first console log from a click event listener, I had it return "FUGG YE DUGG! THAS FUGGIN SIGG" Keep rocking this shit guys, and I'll try to do the same. I'm on that tiny meat energy

Gabe Oleinik

also I when I have shit like that I always listen to you guys so know that you are helping people cope with shit

Sydney

yo guys thanks for talking about this, cool to see that I’m not the only one who feels this way. thanks a lot for making me feel better and always making me laugh, you guys are the best

Sydney

Yo I have anxiety too and it was awesome to hear other people openly discussing it. That definitely makes me feel better about living with mine. Panic attacks are the worst I had my first one when I was 18 my freshman year of college and am still dealing with them today, but it gets easier and easier to manage.

This was an awesome episode. I do have anxiety and panic attacks and his podcast is the best thing I’ve had in a while

Pope

Great episode! Hope you feel better Cody! I went through a string of PA’s and I know exactly how you feel. I can tell Noel cares about you a lot and hopefully he can continue the great support and advice in this dark time for you. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel

Allen Tinko

I wish this wasnt a bonus episode just so I can send this to all the people that want a better understanding with what I and many people go through haha. Dope episode guys! One of the best bonus episodes yet.

Also? Thinking about having a panic attack? Knock it off

Hey, having anxiety fucking blows and ive had them since i was a kid and then suddenly was diagnosed but didnt have a very good therapist and anxiety attacks take on all forms and mines are either constantly feeling uncomfortable and on edge and hyper aware of everything and not being able to catch my breath or full blown tears and hyperventilating unable to move, tunnel visions repeating words and it’s absolutely fucking awful

PartyPupper

first and foremost i wanna say that i love you guys so fucking much and i appreciate you both so deeply. i've been dealing with anxiety since i was a literal child and grew up in a household where nobody could comprehend anxiety in itself let alone full blown anxiety in a child so i didn't get help until i was 19 (i'm 22 now) and even then i was so ashamed of it but i literally just couldn't function anymore bc it began to manifest itself as severe depression too. there are a lot of aspects of it that i still am not comfortable discussing mainly because of shame but hearing you guys discuss your struggles so open and honestly makes me feel a lot less ashamed even if it's only temporary. i know it's hard to discuss and you guys are in no way obligated to discuss such person things so publically but you did and it means a lot to a lot of people to see their faves put themselves out there like that so thank you.

Sabrina Saylor

Great episode. Talking about that stuff is a good thing in doses. Besides that, great ep, and all your guys' content has been popping lately.

Sam Hayhurst

this episode is so real and i relate so much to what cody’s feeling, exactly. anxiety is fucking scary. i’ve almost went to the hospital countless times because i felt like i was dying but it was just a panic attack. really sorry you felt this way, but thanks for talking about it because i know a lot of us can relate

irene

I’m only half way through but had to come comment. You guys really are the fucking best. Thanks so much for being so open about something that no one ever wants to dwell on. Love you guys a lot!

Talk about click bait
