Lazy Sunday video post - but it is an excellent illustration of what some black dogs bring with them.

The next time you try to explain to a friend or family member what an anxiety/panic attack feels like just show them this video. The anxiety would be seeing the grass move and thinking something bad is going to happen but not quite sure what it is. The panic is when the tiger jumps out at you. Of course with panic/anxiety there is no tiger, there is no threat at all. Our fight or flight thermostat has just gotten reset to a higher normal so our mind tells us to “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” when we just going about our everyday lives.
