Many people don't like travelling. I'm sure people will come in and say "lol just do it" as if he has any control over his own travel anxieties. Maybe a doctor can help, there has to be some beta blockers or something that would ease the problems. But I respect the guy for letting us know even if there's some people who probably have never traveled alone who won't understand. I would assume thats why he needs somebody to pick him up at the airport? Because he's all jacked up when he gets off the plane?
I think it's more so that even when he would go the airport to depart, he will just refuse to step inside because of his fear and thus never get on the plane in the first place. Fear is different for everyone but I assume it will be something like that in this case.
Anyway I don't have it problem with it. I have some fears myself so I can sort of understand. Cool to you are open about it, and happy to hear you're improving.

Panic attacks sucks balls!
My mother had panic attacks while traveling, that in turn has made me very easily stressed when traveling, I hate airports.
best of luck to you.

I'm sad for him, but frankly i can understand that problem.
Basically what he means is that he really cannot travel alone, he needs someone to go with him who he is familiar with, who can help him through any panic attacks he might suffer.
A friend of mine has a similar problem, he can only go on a plane if someone from his immediate family or a really old friend (as in years of friendship) comes along.
|
At least he knows his specific trigger for attacks. I know someone who has panic attacks randomly. I'm sure she'd give anything to know the cause so she could avoid it.
Lets hope he can arrange plans for future events.

This is the oddest of odd days in Starcraft.
Firstly the HD and Painuser announcement now this xD
Suppose he can't help what the problem is. Although you would have thought that they had enough time to prepare this :/ ??

How come i never heard of this problem before even though demu attended so many events before ( for example wc3 events )... somehow this remind me of poor satiini

It feels that Demuslim is being too hard on himself. :-(

Aye, i'm almost envious. Ever since a couple of years ago i'd just randomly get them. I suspect poor health / fitness contributes to it for me. But i guess knowing that traveling is what does it, then at least you can in a sense prepare. Of course that means traveling becomes difficult, there's a barrier there. But its somewhat more preferable than continuously living knowing at any moment something might work you into a funk and its all downhill from there. Maybe maybe not. I dunno.
Panic attacks are fucking horrible.
I feel for ya DeMuslim! Best wishes good sir.

I sympathize for Ben, but there is a possible way round this (Maybe not on such short notice but at least in the future). If he went to the Doctor he could be prescribed meds to calm him down. Something to simply calm him while getting to the airport, then something stronger to knock him out on the plane.
I suffer from travel anxiety when it comes to flights, so I know how big the problem can be (especially when is job is to travel round the world to tournaments!) but I also know there are ways around it.
Hope things go better for him in the future. Favorite SC2 player by far!
|
Yeah its a terrible thing to suffer from and I admire his courage in being so open about it. All the best to him.
|
He seemed pretty calm at Columbus. Shame he won't be there but I don't think anyone honestly thought he'd be an impact player.
|
Anxiety attacks are the absolute worst. No one who hasn't had them can actually understand how debilitating they are.
Really wanted to see demuslim in action but its completely understandable.
|
In that case, he should solve this problem.
|
Thats too bad. Ben fighting!
