View Full Version : Is anybody there?
Hi,
I have suffered from panic attacks for over 10 yes and I've battled some pretty dark days but I never once lost faith that I will eventually come out this the other side, well, that is until today.
The anxiety and panic has been rising (no particular reason) since this morning, it's now 10.30pm where I am and the actual attack has been going on for over 2 hrs. I know this is dramatic but I genuinely feel like I'm dying, I'm in such a state of panic.
Pls anyone with prev exp or advice - how the hell do I get a grip on this.? I'm totally terrified and alone
Xx

Hey Gale
Are you having an anxiety attack or panic attack?

Get a paper bag and re-breathe, or cup your hands over your mouth and nose.
Got any lavender? Sniff away......
Open a window and notice the cool breeze
Put the radio on and really listen to what they are saying
Splash your face with cold water, or use a cold wet flannel around your face and neck
You will be ok. Youve got through this before. It will not hurt you. You are doing it....x
Use up that energy now - go for a run. Don't sit and dwell, go and do something to take your mind off things.
Talk to someone as well if you can, this is always a big help.
Its awful to feel like this - but you WILL come out of it. Never trust your perception in times like these.
Hi Lisa, I'm not surebi know the difference? Symptoms: heart is pounding, pins and needles in arms, hands, legs and feet. Feel like I can't breathe, so nauseous, stomach is churning. I know I shouldn't but I can't stop pacing, have been for hrs. My husband gets v cross if he sees me like this, he thinks it's completely ridiculous, luckily he went to bed a few hrs ago because of me. Anyway, Worrying about him 'catching'. E in the midst of an attack especially when he is already cross seems to fuel it. I recently moved to Bahrain 3000 miles away from all my family and friends and it times like now I really need a familiar face as obviously no one here knows I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Thanks so much for responding and apologies about rambling on xxx
Thanks guys, I will give your suggestions a go, really appreciate your replies x

Gale, I hope you are feeling better now. I haven't had any palpitations for three weeks now, I think this is because I am channeling all my energy into a project that I have going on at the moment. It seems to be helping, especially doing something that I love. Art & Design. Maybe this could be something you could do too? :flowers:
