Really sorry to hear that :bighug1:

Try to control your breathing, hard I know, but it will help. Nothing is going to happen to you, it is just your thoughts.

Have you got anything on your phone or mp3 player for relaxation.

Wish i could help more.

You are welcome. They actually drain the energy from me at times too. You should try the videos- they help me. Give them a go :)

Hi Ally sorry to hear you are currently suffering. Try to remember that a panic attack (as awful as they are, I suffer too) will not physically harm you. Its your bodies automatic response mechanism to a perceived threat. Did your panic and anxiety levels get out of control as a result of the news about your job ? As others have said there are some really good relaxation resources online. I use relaxation apps on my Iphone that I find very useful if I need to slow my body down a bit. They are probably not right for everyone but they may be worth a go. Good luck mate and all the best from Bristol UK

I completely understand. I had a bad on on Sunday afternoon because the kids in my road decided to use my front room windows for target pratice for their water ballons. I'm still shaking now from it
