I was having a panic attack and I started doing deep breathing and talking with my daughter and it went away. It lasted like 40 min but it helped, I didn't want to take my Lorazepam cause I don't drink it when I'm in a panic cause I'm weird like that

So glad you're feeling better!

excellent.i too use distractions.

Great news! Distraction is the only thing that gets me out of a panic state, which is why I seem so much worse at night time when I'm alone! :)

Knowing how to beat it is the main step! :D Well done!

Dies anyone have the shakes when they get anxious?
Posted 2/13/2015 4:14 PM (GMT 0)
I do sometimes if I am really bad, I usually feel as though I am going to throw up too, which freaks me out more because I am emetophobic!

M.M.

Yes, that is a common symptom. It can be both external...hands shaking, ect...or felt internally, like the whole body is vibrating.
