panic attacks suck.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry MP! I feel the same way and yes panic attacks do suck. I've been having such crazy anxiety lately it's pretty much not manageable, so I feel you. Everyone always says everything will be fine and will work out, but when they never have, why should I trust this time things will be any different?

In general I just try to stay as positive as I can, workout and eat well. I also have some great friends and this board for support which I find really helps to "get it out."

BIG HUGS!

Panic attacks are horrible. Just breathe, take one thing at a time, and breathe. If you don't take meds for anxiety attacks, just drink some water and take a moment, and look at one thing at a time. ONE THING AT A TIME. It's overwhelming but you get passed it. Hugs

I've been having major anxiety and panic attacks lately as well. I actually left work early last week because I couldn't deal. I posted this morning about it and the ladies gave some great advice.

I hope you feel better soon. I know I felt a lot better even just after posting this morning and, I guess, just admitting to myself that was the issue.

Hugs, mp. Can you take a walk outside? Hug a pup? Take some deep breaths? Take some meds?

Sorry MP.  ((Hugs)) yes panic attacks and anxiety suck ass.  I can relate.  My anxiety comes and goes.  I woke up with a panic attack at 4 am Sunday morning and have had anxiety since then.  I feel your pain sweetie.

This is what I do!  When I feel super anxious, find a way to "refocus" and clear my head so I can take things on one at a time.  It doesn't ALWAYS work, but it usually does.  Yoga and meditation are awesome ways of clearing your head.

::hugs:: You realize that none of this is your fault, right? Even if it doesn't seem like it right now, everything will be okay. I'm sorry this happened. Panic attacks are the suck.

You all are the best. I'm a little weepy still, but functioning. mandimija ya, you made me cry. Just like the scene in Good Will Hunting where Will cries.

I couldn't resist....

I'm sorry

Everything will work out. But, in the meantime, it's okay to allow yourself those moments of weakness. I have anxiety meds, so I'll take those if I feel a panic attack coming on. Until they kick in, I don't try to fight it. I just go with it - close my door or escape to the bathroom - and cry.

Hugs to you.
