my heart breaks for … my heart breaks for him esp. since i know what that’s like/it’s the worst feeling in the whole world & you truly feel like you’re next breath (if you can get one) will be your last/jonathan has always been my fav ‘Kid’/i just saw them last night on their new tour & loved every min. of it! i’m glad that he’s out performing again & i hope that he’s TRULY been able to get the anxiety under control/i would hate for him to feel pressured to go down this road all over again.
ps: yep… I wanna … ps: yep… I wanna throw my arms around him and give him the tightest, warmest, most reassuring hug… *yeah, ITA, he was my fave New Kid, then Jordan*
OMIGOD, I had heard … OMIGOD, I had heard about Jon’s attacks but had really no idea, since I’ve never seen anybody go through one. I am a VERY shy person myself, but in my life I’m not put in a position where I have to talk to a big audience. I think I’d go ballistic if I did have to be a public figure. I hope Jon is doing better and coping with it. I love Jon Knight. He’s ace and I love the NKOTB.
He was breathing … He was breathing heavy from the upper chest and not the stomach, which is a natural reaction when anxiety symptoms present themselves. This just causes things to progress.
Dude! Jonathan has … Dude! Jonathan has always been my “favorite” New Kid… and I knew about the panic attacks long ago, but I can’t believe they are talking about him like he’s not sitting there! (2:50) My heart goes out to him. This interview would have been around 2005, right? Seems like he’s more comfortable in his own skin now; saw the show last night and it ROCKED!
Sure, I know its … Sure, I know its gotta be somewhere in my parents’ old entertainment center but then I have to find a working VCR because we don’t have one in our house, you know everything’s on DVD now or blu-ray. It’d be interesting to watch how they’ve grown since then! Will keep u updated!
really? WOW i … really? WOW i remember when i was a little kid and i was outside with my friend, and my mom was in the house and she put the oprah show on tv, and she screamed my name out the window and told me to come inside. i thought i was in trouble or something, and i come inside and my mom said “the new kids on the block are on TV!!” ha ha ,, i never seen that episode ever again. well i hope u find it, please let me know =)
Poor Jon. He … Poor Jon. He looks like he feels like a freak, just by the look on his face. It hurts to see someone that uncomfortable and that terrified of their surroundings.
My mom has attacks and she’s handled them very well. I don’t even notice when she has them.
yeah, I remember … yeah, I remember that & videotaped the whole hour show on VHS. It has to be somewhere in my parents’ house. It would take me awhile to look, though.
I’ve been a fan of … I’ve been a fan of NKTOB since the 80’s & never knew this. I can understand where they are coming from & also appreciate them for sharing this so that others don’t feel helpless. God Bless ‘em.
thanks for posting … thanks for posting from me as well!! It’s really hard to watch this, though, and not want to comfort or help him in some way! There are so many of us that have anxiety attacks, it’s good to know you’re not alone!! Danielle.
Any one who thinks … Any one who thinks this is funny should be ashamed of themselves. I’ve had panic attacks and they are NOT fun. Jonathan is one of the most beautiful men in the world and he deserves respect for still performing after suffering from them. I just want to comfort and reassure him.
