Please help quickly - What do you do when you can't cope?

[HopeI'mWrong:P]

I posted here recently because I'm convinced that I have bowel cancer. Thank you to those who responded to that thread, and I'm sorry that I haven't yet replied to you - I have just been all over the place.

Today I am so certain that I have it and that I'm dying that I'm seriously struggling to cope. I feel like I can't breathe, like I'm about to be sick, and like I need the bathroom constantly. I'm guessing this is a panic attack but it's been ongoing for hours now and I don't know what to do. I really can't take it anymore. What can I do? Please someone help.

Thank you. Sorry for being so dramatic. Feeling a tad better today.

This could be part of the whole alcohol reliance thing too.

As long as you're hyper focused on dying, you're going to find it really hard to bring yourself into a calmer state.

As far as you know, you don't have bowel cancer. You need to find the way that works for you that reverses your imagination telling you otherwise.
