trying to keep calm : )

Hi, I am on my way to chester zoo so I have to get 2 buses on the 2nd now but when I travel away from where I live I have panic attacks and hyperventilate now I think I'm doing well I've felt panicky were I'm gonna stop breathing but kept calm and breathed slowly til it passed doing well with that but my problem is I keep hyperventilating making my breathing weird and I go tingly that's on and off u wish I would stop it its so uncomfortable but I'm praising myself in little ways by not going into a full blown panic attack but I have the rest of the day to go yet I just want to enjoy my day without worrying about breathing fingers crossed I do it : )

just keep taking deep breaths in and letting it out very slowly when you start to feel panicky. You have already been on one bus and got to the second, that's fantastic! You have done really well! Have a great day at the zoo :)
