Feel panic coming on

[TheScript]

My hands are very sweaty, i feel dizzy and weird and my heart is pounding i feel very nervous to my stomach, hot flashes and a little nauseous. Feel like i'm close to having a panic attack, how can i calm myself down

Take slow deep breaths in through your nose, hold it for a count of 4 and let it out very slowly. Keep repeating this. Oh and Smile! Even if you don't feel like smiling...do it..it does help :)

[Annie0904]

Are you feeling any calmer?

[TheScript]

Yes a little, thank you for your quick reply, I hate feeling like this

[Annie0904]

I know it is a horrible feeling. You just have to keep repeating the breathing exercises and keep trying to smile :D

Alright i will thank you (: i'm trying to distract myself by watching a tv show

[Annie0904]

Ugh feeling so panicky again, my head feels weird and i feel nauseous and sweaty.. i'm doing your breathing exercise to feel calmer

[Annie0904]

Yes keep doing them as soon as you start to feel panic, they help the feeling to go. It will soon pass :)

Have a drink of cold water. Just small sips which will help you cool down and calm your breathing.
You are safe and will be alright.

I'm glad to say that I find this forum distracting.

Amazing how the (different) problems that other mortals are experiencing and facing can do that.

Hope you can calm down!
