I am sorry...this is an awful symptom.:(

Spend some time on a few of these exercises. Try a couple out...pick the one that seems best suited...and dedicate some time on practicing it, daily for at least 10 min, 3x's a day if you can. It will help.:)

I'm sorry you felt so bad. Just know that we care bc we have been exactly where you are with panic attacks. You are not crazy or will go crazy. You have anxiety. It's not deadly but feels terrible and takes work to conquer.

Please try out the resources SC gave you. Try and take walks, listen to some favorite music, take a bath or shower, something relaxing to help you calm yourself. I know it's hard sometimes to remember these things when we are having a panick attack but they do work. I heard someone say to hold ice cubes in your hands. It's a good distraction!

Do you have family or friends you can talk to abt this? Are you seeing a doctor or therapist? On any medications?

You will get through this rough patch. This is a great forum of caring and understanding people bc we have all been through it or are dealing with it now.

Hugs to you,
Lisa
