Panicking!!

[Hayley1982]

I just can't seem to overcome these attacks. I feel hot dizzy. Feel like im gasping for breath. I'm soo exhausted I try to be positive and tell myself I can do this etc and I've so many ambitions but thay just feel like dreams cos with these attacks and low self esteem i feel I will never get there. I feel all trapped inside.

Breathing techniques with a paper bag really help. Open the window for fresh air to cool you down, and re-breathe, a lot of the symptoms you have is caused by an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Correct this by learning to breathe properly, from your tummy not your upper chest. I know its hard when youre in the middle of an attack, but it will subside. Lavender on your palm is good, and taking sips of water help also x:)

I am the same ally. The thoughts are awful. I could cry theres soo much I want to achieve and I keep saying I can do this than bang I'm back down again and feeling hopeless. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. It's soo frustrating.
