Why is it that people getting more and more mental illnesses the safer and more caring the society gets? It s more people then ever that get panic attacks. Before the 1970s there almost didn't exist any eating disorders or people who hurt them self (like cutting themselves on the arms).

It s like the safer it gets to travel or just going out on the town the more people are afraid of it. I don´t get it.

Man I had a panic attack the first and second times I sparred in muay thai and it was pretty much the worst thing ever, my chest felt extremely tight, my legs were shaking, I was lightheaded from hyperventilating and I broke down in tears right in the middle of the class. Shame on anyone saying DeMuslim should just get over it or implying he is mentally weak for being a victim of panic attacks. I am sure that he is mature enough to rationalize he is safe while traveling (just like I rationalize that I was safe while sparring), but reason and logic arent enough to prevent a panic attack. How about some sympathy for the poor guy, his condition has caused him to miss a major tournament.

I wouldn't enter the NHL Finals thread to post "wow I don't get hockey".


Why not?

No one gets hockey. That's why it's on Versus.

Aw real shame to see UK's finest out of this quality tournament, nothing more to it though, he's not a 'pussy' or anything similar. It sounds like it's a one-off based on him not having somebody to help him off the plane and get acclimatized to his environment

I had a horrific panic attack this year before I had an exam to sit, not fun at all and I'm an arch-rationalist, you just cannot get round it by 'thinking positive'

Demuslim not being able to attend Dreamhack is dissapointing to me. It seems like a lot people consider him very skilled, but because of breaking his arm and exiting early from MLG I haven't been able to see him in action.

Sad news, but honestly, he really should just do it. As someone who's dealt with severe panic attacks and anxiety for a large part of their life, I can tell you that the best way to beat it is to confront it and realize that it isn't so bad, and that nothing bad is actually happening. Every time you let it get the better of you, you're just reinforcing those negative feelings.

thats like the same as saying that people are raping more in modern society than in older society for some particular reason.
the numbers havent changed, people are becoming more aware of the problems and how we can help. it wasnt too long ago when homosexuality was thought of as a mental disorder and you were put in prison for it.
did you read the script?

That's because back when when science and medicine wasn't as good, and people didn't understand these issues very well, the people with panic attacks, suicidal tendencies and eating disorders were probably just told to "deal with it" and blown off rather than receiving actual treatment, and therefore it wasn't recorded.

Man, panic attacks just seem scary, I couldn't imagine being lost in a foreign country. I can totally understand how it has repercussions to this day.

Best of luck Demuslim!

Look I'm disappointed as a fan. But really, this is an elite sport, and mental incapacity is not an excuse. It just means he will never be a top player, no matter his crazy talent, just like physical incapacity prevents some heroic men and women from winning olympic gold. There's no shame in stating this truth - it doesn't reflect badly on DeMu as a person.

But yes, the simple fact is he needs to 'suck it up' and 'get over it', or he just won't ever be where he could/might be as a player. If the condition is severe enough that this is simply not an option, I am sad, but that's the way it is.

It's the same as IdrA, whose mental issues are damaging his career too. He threw away what I personally believe would have been 2nd place at MLG due to a negative mental state. Like DeMu, he will either get over it or he will retire having never achieved his potential.
