View Full Version : Extremely panicked right now!
I'm going to my friends later to stay with her and another one of my friends but I'm so ridiculously stressed out about it for no reason, I feel close to a panic attack so I came on here to vent/distract myself. Feel really terrible right now and so close to not going but I don't want to let her down. I have absolutely no reason to be stressed/worried about going but I feel like I'm having a breakdown over it.
Megt,
I know they are awfully frightening. I`m the same, have arranged to take my sister out at 1.00pm and the thoughts start. But I know I have felt like this before and nothing will happen. So I`m going to have my shower and keep telling myself that. It is fear of going out for me, but I need to do it.
I will be fine and so will you:hugs:
I've felt like this before and it's totally irrational. I can not believe what used to set me off. Doing 5 minute drive to collect my daughter from school every afternoon my heart would race a good hour building up to it OR people visiting me I'd feel like I was being suffocated and would get sooo stressed about it & my breathing would go weired and freak me out even more!
BUT that's panic it has a mind of its own. My advice ride the wave and go & maybe once your there you'll calm down BUT if this feeling is really strong and making you feel physically unwell and you genuinely feel like you can't do it , then - don't! But you then need to work on ways to over come the feelings that stopped you from going.
Take care
Thank you both for the help, I got through it and had a good time.
I hope the shopping went okay flori :)
Good that you went to your friends and you were ok, just as I was and we will do it again and be fine.
