I'm going to jump straight into things as I don't want to talk for to long.... I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks amongst other thing that I won't talk about just yet and because of that I've needed some ME time. This has included lots of online shopping, Big Bang theory and work.
Anxiety is a horrible thing, that won't disappear in a click. It's a feeling that lingers and can be very controlling as to what you do. My attacks quickly change into a panic attacks which leaves me feeling so drained I have passed out befor. But I'm so lucky in the sense that my support network is strong and medication helps me to control a majority of my attacks. But others aren't so lucky and I think that those who do suffer from anxiety should know that they are not alone and the as much as I can't change the feelings I can only hope that you find comfort and a way to suppress it.
I thought i would include a couple of suggestions to reduce the attack or if you feel one coming on. These are just a couple of things I do and I understand everyone's different in how they cope, find something that works for you...
*Listen to music, focus on singing the words aloud
*Keep busy and do something that keeps your hands busy - painting nails, makeup or hair
*Find a breathing exercise - I find that tapping my chest in a beat of two just like a heart beat, will help control me from hyperventilating
*Call a friend, ask for a quick chat
*Carry with you something that brings back good memories - when you feel an attack coming on hold it and think about that memory
Lots of love for you all! xoxox
