Honest words from Amira Pocher: Oliver Pocher’s wife explained in her podcast that she suffers from panic attacks.
Amira Pocher, 28, wrote in the latest issue “Angst im Tunnel” of the podcast “Die Pochers hier!” explains that she recently began to have severe anxiety. At the side of her husband Oliver Pocher, 43, she tells of several events in which she struggled with panic attacks. For example while driving a car train when she drove through a tunnel in Switzerland.
Amira Pocher: “I thought I would suffocate, I would die any moment”
“It was like being in a cave and at some point there was no more light. It was so bad,” says Pocher, “I thought I would suffocate, I would die any moment, now it’s over.” It made her hot and cold. She cried and read while breastfeeding her baby and tried to pull herself together and distract herself. Pocher also reports of a panic attack in an airplane, who now wants to undergo therapy: “That is really not nice. The worst part is the fear of fear.”
Oliver Pocher supports his wife
She doesn’t want to experience that anymore and get well again. Her husband also agrees with her and supports her in her plan: “You have to be healed.” It has now become almost impossible to travel. “From one day to the next it started out of nowhere in the plane,” said Oliver Pocher.
