Hi guys
I am Tim I wanted to join this helo others andmyself nice to be in in a place where there is soo much support
I must agree with you, you always think you are alone when it comes to anxiety when friends or family can't relate to how your feeling- good to find a place where people feel the same

Hey guys im having a panic attack right this minute and all calm down tricks not helping...please any quick advise on what i can do? I feel like my throat is closing down,cant clear it...
Hi Alex you need to try and take your mind away from it and control your breathing, maybe get a bit of fresh air, or even put some music on, I know how hard it can be and it's easier said than done but it will subside!
I've been like this for a few days I feel my throat is closing I cnt swallow my muscle are tense and tight it's hoibble it's frobbing aswell lol I'm trying do cleaning to change my mind but still there lol
How you feeling now ambee? I've been feeling dodge all day it's horrible
Best to accept the fact that your mind is bluffing your body, you can't forget the anxiety, so accept it, accept the false fight. or run syndrome, accept it, and roll with it, remember fear breeds fear, and so on, and so on. The more you fight, the more it takes control, so try and accept.
Not okie relli it'd alway there it went away now it's there away like I cnt swallow my right side of neck feels tenses it's th robbing and hurting me my tough aswell lol I'm trying laugh about it cuz it's so uncomfortable I hate it lol..... I can feel loads of lymph node around my jaw there been there a few months doctors said it's nothing but fact I still feel them I think reminds n my mind lol
Do breathing exercises. Get on you tube listen to meditation music. Read positive quotes off the internet.. Take your meds if you take meds. You won't die from anxiety or panic attacks its just an unpleasant feeling.. Good luck hope this helps.. Xxx
Thank you very much guys Very happy and overwhelmed to see the quick replies and support
Hi Tim, yes we all need support from people who understand how we feel.
But it is so difficult to accept. So hard.
I used to pretend the panic happened, and I'm over it, now I'm in the calming phase, this worked for me, as well as facing a truth that admittededly it is difficult to accept. Here's the big "but" your mind is conditioned to a response that you gave it permission to tell your body to protect itself, to fight, or run which is instinct. Since there is no justification, the initial onset of fear will create the secondary fear, which in turn breeds the next phase, and your in the throws of panic. In reality there is nothing to fight, or run from.
Not good to fight something your mind cannot forget, it's the way we're programmed, so you must accept the fear, and tell yourself your playing a big joke on you which worked for me. I have alot of experience since my jokes started in the early 70's. I got tired of the joke fest, and accepted what all of this was, a comedy routine that was a scary clown that I created, and who I walked away from.
It is just that the anxiety is there all the time. Not in attacks like fright or fight. there is not an initial onset of fear, just a background of anxiety all the time. Nothing sets it off, it just is.
