im alone on my own

[fruity]

everyones out & im on my own for nearly 1 hour. i,ve been trying to ignore my anxious/panicky feelings but now i can,t i feel like im going to loose control all thoughts are running round in my head & im concentrating on my breathing which is a bad thing because if i notice any changes in my breathing then i get scared & panicky. my head went a bit funny just too. im trying my hardest not to crack up.

Why aren't you out?

[Miss Worry-a-lot]

Have you got a smart phone? There is an app called Breathe 2 Relax. I suggest you download that, if you can. It's completely free. I use it for when I have panic attacks. Believe it or not, I was breathing incorrectly and that made my panic worse. This app does help to get your breathing back on track, which in the end calms you down. As soon as you get oxygen to your brain, you'll be feeling better. If you can't download it, when I'm on my own I find it best to lie back with all the lights off, put one hand on my stomach and one on my chest and just breathe in slowly and out slowly. It sounds silly but it will calm you down.

Try not to be on your own. It always helps to be around people, it keeps your mind busy.

Hope you start to feel better soon. :)

I understand totally! Still, if you're knackered and anxious at the same time, maybe a good power nap is in order? ;)
