Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. :hugs:

I really fear situations like these but the advice I can give you is that lots of people who never experienced panic would feel this exact way in a situation like this. It's perfectly normal to feel anxious or upset. Who wouldn't? Take a moment to calm down and relax, and think about the positive, and try not to let your thoughts get sucked into the negative.

Hope you feel better and everything turns out alright! :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Hi Louise,

Take a deep breath hun, it's going to be ok. Remember he is going to the best place. They will take care of him.

Also you are doing just like anybody would, you are going to be fine. Take some deep breaths, fix yourself some tea, and try to think positive thoughts.

Remember we are here, and you aren't alone.

Hi hun. I am new here, as a new sufferer of panic attacks. I can sympathise with every story or thread I read. One thing that helped me was knowing that it's not "me" who causes the attacks, it's a bit like having a faulty car-alarm, its hypersensitive and goes off for no reason. It's your sympathetic nervous system, over which your conscious brain has no control. Try this ... make saliva in your mouth ... it sounds simple, but if you can do that, you are actually influencing the part of your brain that thinks it can't be influenced. Every day when I wake up, I think of my mouth and make saliva, and I seem to gain some control where I had none! I went back to work today, after 2 months of panic attacks ... and your loved one is in totally the right place to be seen to properly ... I hope this helps ... Dizzy :-)
