Panic

Treatment and medication
1

Having a panic attack and no ones home 

2

Demi calm your breathing hunni.  Breathe in slowly for 4 then out slowly for 5.   It will pass in a min or two you can deal with this, it’s not going to hurt you, just breathe xxx 

3

do you know any breathing techniques?

4

Get a wee bag and try breathing into it for a bit.  X 

5

As Laura says, focus on your breathing. Counting  you breaths too I find helps as well as drinking water 

6

Let your body breathe and relax all the muscles in your body. My therapist told me this and it helps me. Just remember this will pass, as scary and terrible as they are which I do know there terrifying it will pass and you will be okay. Stay strong 💖

7

Are you ok now? It’s all about slowing down your breathing and breathing from your tummy not your chest.   X

8

Hope your ok

9

Are you feeling better? What is your medication status?

Hi went on for about an hour 

Feeling worried still and bones are very stiff feel sick 

Lying in bed with the partner although he’s asleep lol 

And I’m on 50mg 5th week 

11

I was like that yesterday, I think you just get some bad days, try not to focus on it too much, I always do and end up panicking again x 

12

Yeh that happens for the first time tonight I mean I’ve pnly ever in my life had 3 panic attacks I rarely get them but when I do there bad and I panic even more I mean I was fine chilled watching soap awards and then a sad scene came on and out of no where so did my panic attack it’s mad x

13

I hope (& I know) you're feeling better today!! 

14

You OK demi

15

Been fine all day then got a little bit anxiety I’m so drained from these side effects slowly very very slowly can see the old me but very slowly x

16

Great I've had CBT today and gave me food for thought . Its a long road this one but I'm really hoping this works for us all

17

I have had 2 cbt sessions and not feeling it at all right now.  Perhaps my therapist is just crap or perhaps I’m too busy being anxious that I’m not absorbing it

18

This was only my second and you have hit it spot on . It makes sense but to busy feeling anxious the only thing I've changed is saying myself this will get better and trying however hard to throw thoughts away . Thank you for reply this really helps .

It’s a weird one.  I get the theory behind cbt but I don’t know what makes me anxious so I don’t know how to cbt it’s ass lol.   I suppose it’s just a case of generally trying to think more positively in every day life.  I’m more likely to think mindfulness grounds me more tbh although it’s kind of the same idea cbt and mindfulness go hand in hand.

Yes I agree need to intercept our train of thought James
