Tracii Guns Overcomes His Panic Disorder

Tracii Guns has panic disorder. I know this because he announced it on his Twitter feed. Heat is an anxiety trigger for him and it's been crazy hot in much of the world the past few days. LA Guns has been playing live gigs and to get around the heat issue, Tracii did the set inside an air conditioned bathroom. Since it's 2022, he live-streamed his toilet gig so people could watch.

Folks without anxiety-related disorders have no idea how hard some "normal" things can be for folks with panic problems. So called "easy stuff" like being in the heat, driving on the highway, eating with other people, talking in public, flying on planes - it all can be crippling for folks with panic disorder. Props to Tracii for highlighting the issue and for overcoming with a unique solution. I love it.

Got to watch something pretty remarkable tonight - @TraciiGuns performing the @laguns set from backstage live on IG, for circumstances explained in his post below from FB. Spoiler: HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT 🎸 🔥 pic.twitter.com/UoItTOaIfj

Well, this certainly gives a whole new meaning to “Cocked and Loaded”,no?

Kudos to him for being a man and admitting he has anxiety that can impair his daily functioning. With so much in society being chaotic. Simply treating mental Illness as an illness with out judgment is a frontier we need to discover.

Playing in the terlet? Whatever gets job done I suppose

so that explains why he wasn’t on stage thursday night at the plano (dallas) show i was at. ok, would’ve been nice to tell the audience. but his performance was great, just awkward hearing phantom guitar solos.

Some have said Guns’ career has been in the toilet for decades… Now I understand what they mean!
