In the middle of a bad attack, anyone around

[hadenough]

I am in the middle of an attack, Im scared out of my wits. I cant breathe, Im sweating, my hearts pounding and I think Im going to pass out, please help someone. Ive been posting in the HA forum as Im worried I have something terminal but this attack is crippling me.

Hi there, how is it now x

[hadenough]

terrible, i cant cope, cant calm down at all, im scared

I was like this last night, I felt I just couldn't get out of it. It wasn't passing and calming down. It was only when I was talking to someone on the phone I felt it gradually calming, but very slowly then it left me feeling unbalanced, nervous and worn out. But anything serious wouldn't just take a long time coming on or getting worse and just linger there. It certainly wouldn't come and go and you be ok in between, but at the moment of panic you cant think straight and logical I know x

Try to occupy yourself make a call go for a walk anything mine lasted 2 hrs last night I know how you feel.

Thank you all for replying, Im still here but if I dont reply straight away its because I cant sit still, Im pacing up and down.

Open a window breathe in some fresh Air it helps.

Can you find some calming music to play? Look for some beach/wave sounds to download then try and match your breathing to the rhythm. I know how you are feeling. It's awful but it will pass. X

I am still here .. I am not feeling so great now either. Mine is more dizziness and head rushes when I stand up. How are you doing ? x

[hadenough]

Sorry youre not feeling good either. Im still bad, cant get these thoughts out of my head. I have a gp appoinement next wed about ongoing stomach problems and just know its going to be bad news.

How long have you been feeling unwell, and have you been diagnosed with anxiety x

Still going? Try breathing into a paper bag. Focus on the breathing out more than the breathing in.:)

[hadenough]

yes ive suffered with depression and anxiety for years. i suffer with terrible health anxiety and have had some problems over the last 3 weeks so have convinced myself that its serious.
