What's 'being backed up', scaredstiff? Tell auntie Annie (me) in a private message if you need to, because there's not much I don't know about these feelings. But hang on to this - if you KNOW the thoughts are irrational then you've got valuable insight into your condition - and you're definitely NOT dying.

Try and plan what you're going to do tonight after the panic attack subsides and you're still alive, that always helps me when I'm having a panic! Whether it be having a bath, watching a movie, having an early night, anything.

Nobody ever died from a panic attack, it won't happen and you're completely safe. It's just adrenaline in your body setting off a chain of symptoms and a horrible feeling but it's harmless. xx

Hey hunnni, you sound like you are having a really bad time today. :hugs:

You have good insight though - even when you feel at your lowest you still know that it is panic and anxiety which is GOOD! (I know it will not feel like that now but in time it will serve you well).

I know what it feels like to have wave after wave of Panic attacks and there is no respite and life feels like a permanent struggle. :weep: You are not dying, you will be fine.

Take a deep breath and when the panic subsides find something to do that will try and distract you. My favourite thing used to be an hour with a hot cup of something and a gossipy mag to flick through - lots of pictures and not much reading required so that if you suffer fuzzy eyes (which I used to) - you are not getting all anxious trying to read the blurry text!

We are all with you - post if you need any help or PM any of your replies - I am sure we would love to help.

You are not going to die it is only anxiety and panic
Calm down do some deep breathing and relaxation and you will be fine

Keep in there you will be fine

you'll be on your way to the docs now, so I shan't worry about not being able to find your PM because you're obviously still in the land of the living - which is what really matters. Hope the doc's helpful. Still feeling my way on the forum and trying not to confuse anyone else!

hi scared.

i'm so sorry to read you are feeling like this.

can i ask what part of the country you are in? i will look into how you can get some more help in your area. if i start looking for you, you're going to have to do the next step and ring up some people, you think that'd be okay for you??

your GP is not helping you and that is not right.. why would he not discuss meds?

Please stay on NMP and get in the chat room, we all understand here

I wouldn't go in chat if that is causing the problems to be honest. I know how it can be in there at times.

Death is not the only answer!

Re-read the First Steps website page on here and go back to basics and do all you can to help yourself

I read your post earlier and it broke my heart, to hear how you were treated :(
I was once shouted at by a doctor for having a panic attack, I was also going through a rough patch and I was low and that was the last thing I needed, I felt humiliated for ages afterwards.
You have a right to get help!
You so need a new doctor! they are kind doctors out there, maybe you could get a recommendation from a friend.
you should be refereed to a psychiatrist who can then offer you more help, but do ask for that help too, from what I hear theres social workers and care teams that will visit you too, maybe even a week in a good hospital (again get a recommendation) could help.
try and find a list of online help,
here were have 24 hour helplines, you can call into the samritines, some charity's do online support groups for people who can't attend the actual meetings,

you are a person you deserve love, kindness, compassion and all the help you can get your hands on just like rest of us x

Sometimes I get the suicidal feelings as well so I know what you mean.
Main reason I can't do it - my 2 young children.
Losing a parent to suicide is one of the most damaging things that can happen to a child. They can't protect themselves from the world at that age, you HAVE to be there for them no matter what it takes.
