Hi lisa sorry to here what happened to you i presume you have had this happen before (anxiety attacks ) ! Im unsure how long youve been on your tablets if its not long maybe give it a few weeks and then see how you are then ! Have you suffered with this for a long time ? Please go back to your doctor if you are still having problems by february ! Take care and best of luck david

It took a little while for my meds to kick in too. How long have you been taking them?

But my therapist also taught me deep breathing exercises to help when I was starting to feel anxious so I wouldn’t have a panic attack. If you have a smart phone you can download meditation and breathing exercise apps to your phone. Those have helped.

She also taught me how to talk to myself in a loving and compassionate manner during a panic attack.

“The physical feelings you are having is all part of the anxiety that you are feeling.”

Today I have to fess up to my boss about a mistake I made yesterday. My overly anxious mind is freaking out and catastrophizing what the end result will be - that I will get fired. That logically won’t happen. So I keep reminding myself that everyone makes mistakes, that it was my first week on the job, and she, my boss also missed the mistake. Not that I would ever say that aloud, ha ha, but it’s nice to know that she missed it too.

It’s helping me not panic. I am anxious as all get out but I know I won’t have a panic attack.

I am also reminding myself that I’m the greater scheme of things this mistakes is pretty mild. It’s also been fixed.
