Is it just me?

Earlier today I had a real bad anxiety attack... Well I noticed that the whole time I was trying to practice my breathing to control the panic I was covering my face.. As I noticed this I grabbed my sweater near by and covered my face in my sweater. Then I realized I either cover my face with my hands or something , Or I'm always holding on to something at these moments .
Today I found it just odd that I noticed that about me.
is it just me?

MM,

I am sorry you had an attack yesterday. :( Are you feeling better today? I hope so!

I found that when I was having an attack...I felt very untethered, and wanted to hold onto something solid. Maybe wanting to hide to cover your face is a similar kind of attempt to feel safe. Panic is so uncomfortable and scary that it makes sense to try and cope in this way!

Wishing you a peaceful rest of the weekend. :)

I get uncontrollable negative thoughts. They are out of control and like someone already stated, I feel untethered. I also get sick to my stomach and I feel the anxiety in my chest. It's awful.

MM.,

We have a really good relaxing meditation vid that guides you along with breathing...would you like me to post it?
