Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan is one of the starkids who isn’t interested in doing Bollywood films. The starkid, on the other hand, aspires to be a director. Ira is a frequent Instagram user and talks openly about her life on Instagram. Recently, she has shared a new post speaking about her anxiety attacks.
Ira khan revealed she suffers from anxiety attacks and also said that talking to her boyfriend Nupur Shikhare and breathing 'helped it not make it to an attack.' She also posted a picture of herself after shower following an anxiety attack.
In the picture shared by Ira, she is seen clad in a white pyjama set, standing in front of a mirror, taking a mirror selfie. She wrote the caption along with the picture, “I've started getting anxiety attacks. I've had anxiety. And I used to get overwhelmed. And have crying fits. But I've never had anxiety attacks before. It's the difference between panic and panic attacks. Anxiety versus anxiety attacks. As far as I understand it (anxiety attacks), they have physiological symptoms. Palpitations, breathlessness. Plus crying. And it builds. Slowly. Feels like impending doom. This is what mine feels like. I do not know what a panic attack is like. It's a really crappy feeling. My therapist said if it's become regular (context, I had 1 or 2 over 2 months versus almost every day now), I needed to tell my doctor/psychiatrist. In case anyone needed words to describe how they're feeling and this can be of any help. It feels pretty helpless. Because I really want to go to sleep (it usually happens at night for me) but I can't because it won't stop. I try to identify my fears, talk myself down. But once it's hit you, I haven't found a way to stop it. You kind of need to ride it out. So far. That's what I've figured. But while it's building, talking to Popeye and breathing has helped make it not come to an attack. At least for a few hours. It also depends on if I get re-stressed by another stimulus later. Life's full of variables. If you're trying to be mindful, remember to take them all into account. Hang in there. P.s. This is me after a long shower after an attack. Showers are a beautiful thing. More on that later.”
