Casey told BuzzFeed, "I decided to make the video because the last few times I had a panic attack, I wanted to find something I could relate to, but everything felt pretty 'tame' compared to how I felt."
Toward the tail end of his panic attack, Casey picked up the camera and started filming himself. He said, "I wanted to see if there were other people who felt like I did, and I took the risk of putting a video of me basically crying on the internet."
As nervous as he was to post it, people with and without anxiety began to praise Casey for his courage and thank him for his message.
He didn't even let his haters get him down. "Even all the negative messages I've gotten have pushed me to want to end stigmas. It's a win-win and I won't stop now," he said.
