You need to get breathing under control

In through the nose and out through the mouth slowly.

This will calm you down very quickly - trust me so try it.

you will be fine keep thinking that .
get a cold drink and have a look around the forum at people that have been in the same way and what people have sead to help them

Don't use the inhaler too much as it is not asthma as such and you need carbon dioxide in.

You could try running up and down the stairs - I know it sounds mad but you need to get rid of the adrenalin.

Try this as well .....

well done your calming yourself down!!!

Ok firstly STOP saying your going into crisis!! Your not, its anxiety. Your not phsycic! You cant predict what is happening.

Your counselling course is obviously making you worse, I remember learning about things i.e. schizophrenia and I started thinking I was getting all the symptoms. This is your anxiety, thats all. You can calm yourself.

Have you tried to do vigorous excercise to burn off the adrenaline, count how many time you do each excercise! Star jumps, squats etc.

Good luck on your journey

[blondeangel]

now my bf phoned to say the money will be there tomorrow....and that the bamk was closedd.....and he doesnt want to dela with my **** anymore.....my panic and stuff...i hung up.....*******.....he doesnt understand......why si hje doign this...why is this happening...i dont trust him anymore.....i cant see cuzz tears...im going to go crazy....he wants to leave me.....i thought he loved me......i dont even know idf hes tellignth truth about tommorrow..i think i need to phone my counselllor to immean email my school counselllor..i dont think i will be able to make it to school tmorrwo...i can feel myself going into peak crisis....sooon.....ijust want to bre hapy and normal.

[kimmy]

blondangel. Have you heard of affermations? They are things people say to themselves over and over. Eventually you begin to believe them. You saying Im going in to crisis, is basically a NEGATIVE affermation! Try to say something more positive to yourself.

Just say "ok, im having a bad time but it will pass" I found that I would say "Im calm, Im safe and Im in conrol" it worked for me.

Find what works for you........xxxxxx

[kimmy]

you inhalor will make you shaky aswell!!!!

[blondeangel]

im not safe...im not in control.........it seems like everything isfalling aprart........i want it to stop....it won't.
i cant reason..can think...cant stp shaking...cant stop crying,,,,,cant tstop sweatring..dizzy....i cant top it.....i want to

[kimmy]

all i can see is you saying CANT!!!!
come on hun, deep breaths! come on babes, losen your shoulders. Just changing the way you are talking will have a more positive effect!!

[blondeangel]

[andrew]

you are safe sarah .. you can cope .. you've just very anxious .. concentrate on your breathing .. hug for you

[kimmy]

You need to help yourself before anybody can help you. Listen to what I am saying, try to write more positve and breathe, losen up your shoulders, do some stretching excerses

[blondeangel]

you know I am calmer becasue I can actually type in my blue font, and spell right.
Thanks for your replies..It helped for a while until my bf phoned and got mad at me, and it triggered my crisis. I have slashed up my forearms with my razor, really bad, then I started on my legs, which I never did before...I was so scared...i ened hurting myself before I phoned the crisis line, and during....and the police came over as well as the counsellors. I have de-escalated, mostly, buti I know I am very much on the edge and need to stay away from tirggers.
I was so scared...I ws shaking so much..now my body is sore from being in that state, and it feel tired. My mind still is kinda fuzzy, but I am ok for now.
Thanks for replying...I was so in bad shape. I have never slashed up my arms this bad...but when I do it seems to help at the time.
i am not going to school tomorro, and have emailed my college counsellor to tell himto inform my teachers that I can't because of an emergency. I now need to defuse some more..take my mind off of things, and I took of my pre-engagement ring from my bf, cuz he is not a part of my right now, and I may have to look for alternate accomodations soon.
Thanks for everyone who responded...it was difficult to read post because I couldn't really see or comprehend everything, because of my state, but I wanted to thank you all for caring and spending some..or a lot of your time, trying to help me. Thanks a lot.

hi blondangel, pleased to read you've calmed down and hopefully you're feeling a bit better.

i am usually in the 'whatever works for you club', but im hoping that you can find some safer coping methods.

i do usually follow your posts and wanted to suggest some things that might help, and defuse your feelings. do spend time every day saying positive affirmations about and to yourself, if you're used to doing it, it will come to you easier when you are really struggling. be much more careful with your prescription medication, it will have emotional affects and if you've got 'drug abuse history' its another possible trigger. avoiding certain classses because of 'horrible teachers'. sometimes avoiding creates more anxiety, not less anxiety. if you need to be there to learn, then you have to face that. im sure you are sensible and strong enough to do this. you're not gonna get on with every one, some people just aren't nice - its how life is. endless hours on your own, on the playstation is ocd heaven. try and vary your free time activities.

i hope ive not lectured you. i thought it was very brave of you to post whilst struggling so much. stay positive, you can get through this, take care .. andrew

[blondeangel]

thanks andew..
it is hard right now honestly for me to feel much...my fiance/bf whoever broke up with me today, and pretty mcuh called me "nuts", and said he couldn't handle it...the panci, anxiety, my crisis (which I have not really had in a couple of years). He owes for march and april rent..well we do because i am on the lease too...but i have HIM my half. I lent HIM my savings so he could go across the country to make moeny for us...and I have not seen a penny, and I am facing eviction. He keeps saying "next week"...but nothing happens. And now the man who i trusted so much and gave my heart too doesn't want to be with me and thinks I am "crazy", and that I am hurting him.I don't even feel like crying right now...I just feel.....empty.:(

[andrew]

hi sarah,

sorry to hear your news, hug for you.

hopefully he will be a man about it all and give you the money he owes.

you're not crazy, just struggling. keep in touch and dont bottle up your feelings, you take care .. andrew
