Help

I'm at work in a full blown panic attack. I feel like running and screaming and crying but I cant. I dislike this feeling last panic attack I had was in December of last year. God someone please talk me down.

Hi I know how you feel I would just step away from the situation say you have to go to the bathroom cry it off recompose yourself as best you can and walk back in like nothing happened. Don’t feel embarrassed if your face looks like you’ve been cryin because honestly it doesn’t matter what your coworkers think right now you have to take care of you

The doctor I work for made me do squats. They kinda helped me so I'm a keep trying. I think I am going to go cry a bit also. Thank you

You're not alone! What helps me when I start to have one is put a ice cube in your mouth and suck on it a little. It does the trick for me because the cold helps take my mind off of it and gives me something new to concentrate on. You will get through this! Hope this helped

It does with me. Are you taking anything for your anxiety right now? I'm on Lexapro and it has made the frequency and severity of the attacks decrease drastically. It's like night and day

I was on so many different medications I felt like I was just slipping away into madness. My cardiologist stopped all my meds and told me to stay on just acid reducer. I've been doing good from time to time I feel bad. (Anxious)
