A Panic Attack Ended My Winter Backpacking Trip

Author(s): Miranda Goes Outside
Video Release Date: February 4, 2024
Video Source: YouTube

Miranda Webster, from Miranda Goes Outside shares her personal story about mental health issues in the outdoors.

“While filming this video backpacking in a beautiful snowy forest I was struck by one of the worst panic attacks of my life. I have generalized anxiety disorder, but I have not talked about that very much on this channel. Mental health awareness is so important, and this situation has given me the opportunity to talk about what myself and so many others deal with on a regular basis. In this video I’ll show you what led up to me having a panic attack on trail, as well as show you what ultimately led me to decide to leave my snowy campsite to come back another day.”
