Hi emmamia -
When I have a panic attack and it is bad, I try to focus on my breathe - i try to breathe in and out very slowly, and make sure to breathe from my stomach - this is "belly breathing". try to give yourself time to just focus on your breathing.
there are a bunch of other exercises you can try - such as progressive relaxation.
have you tried this before?
thankyou so much for the comment, i remember someone telling me about 'belly breathing' i think i just forgot to do it, i woke up 5 am so was also physically tired, which probably didnt help. i will look into excercises though, thankyou
hope your having a nice day xxx
Emmamia im having panic attack right now...and feel like stopping breathing too...and letting down people i love too...but u know what? Its all fake rubbish caused by all that adrenalin explosion in our body!!!! we will be fine,you will be fine and im sure no one who loves you feel let down by you...panic attacks are scary,but they cant kill you!!!
aw you are so sweet, hope you feel better nowm sorry i have only just seen this! i hope you are feeling calmer now. im sure my family dont get annoyed but more upset to see me upset, which i then mis-interpret oh silly me, silly anxiety. we will overcome it im sure ! just horrible when that feeling comes. but so glad i have found these forums, they are great to talk to people who understand xxxx

haha aww thankyou! Yeah i don't drink or smoke. Infact i hate both. and i like to think i eat well, hehe, so will carry on to do so thanks for your help xxxxxx
