Having a Panic Attack...anyone awake to chat on here?

[shadelling]

Cannot sleep. Overthinking everything. Was wondering if anyone is online so I can chat with them.

Have you also been in therapy before?

I am on line now. Saw your post. I am new also. I suffer from depression. Would love to chat

I get my panics in the night too.

i find that meditation can help. YouTube is a great source for guided meditations, self hypnosis, positive affirmation and motivational videos. Use the search bar to find dozens of good ones. Bookmark the best ones. Podcasts are a good source too. Get a podcast app and use the search bar.

I also keep a notebook near the bed. Sometimes writing a fear inventory or a letter to god, or to my inner child or list my resentments or a gratitude list or a to do list. Write it down. It's cheap therapy and having it on paper gets it out of my head.

Finally, I've cut back dramatically on caffeine and sugar. Even in the morning I now drink de cafe coffee. It was hard but those are fuels for panic.

These are just suggestions that hep me. Good luck
