I'm having a panic attack help!

[Mark801]

Guys, I know this is going to sound really lame but I'm meeting this girl and I really like her.

It's my first real relationship in years and I'M ABOUT to have a panic attack. I can feel it coming on. Help!

I don't know what to do.

I feel like I can't breathe! :weep::weep::weep::weep::weep::weep:

Mark just take deep breaths in, hold for the count of 4 and let it out very slowly, keep doing this until you feel calmer. Concentrate hard on your breathing.

This sucks! I'm scared I embarrass myself!

You may feel much more relaxed when you are with her. Most of the time it is the anticipation before a meeting that is the worst.

She's probably nervous too. Relax, what's the worst that can happen. Go and have a nice time

And if it helps, maybe you should tell her what is going in that little head of yours :winks:

I just wanna thank all of you for taking the time to respond to my thread.

I ended up going and we had a great time. As soon as we hugged and started talking it all went away.

I really am happy I decided to go with it.

Thanks so much guys!:hugs:

I know exactly how that feels. I am the same as I get bad social anxiety. I hope you do feel better when you meet her. I haven't been in a relationship for ages because I feel anxious meeting someone for the first time and getting to know them.

But Im sure you will be fine the worst that could happen is that it doesn't work out.
