Panic

[Cat26538]

I’m extremely stressed out and angry. I feel like my life is over. I’m having a really hard time with panic attacks. It’s so bad I feel like I’m gonna blackout. I just wanna cry. But I can’t cry because it makes me feel weak.

I'm here if you want to talk about it.

I’ve got a lot on my mind. I’ve gotta somehow come up with $960 to get into this offenders program. I’ve got to get another job or 2. I’ve gotta come up with money to hire an attorney to get rid of the legal guardianship my parents have over me. I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown

I feel your pain, I’ve been there many times. What have you tried to help you get through the panic attacks? Crying doesn’t make you weak, we are all human and sometimes crying can release a lot of pent up feelings and you may feel better.

I’ve tried deep breathing but it doesn’t work most of the time. As for the crying issue even after I cry I feel worse not better.

Well make sure you are breathing using your stomach not your chest and count 5 in and 5 out or how ever many you can count. Also I would look up mediation relaxation videos on YouTube, those helped me. Just know that as bad as the panic attack is , it will end eventually.
