Morning..

[Espinoza38]

So I'm in a full blown anxiety attack but I'm looking on the bright side. At least I know it's nothing major. I'm healthy my heart is healthy my mind is healthy and alert. I'm a figure away to stay calm cool collect. Ya no I try the breathing exercises and it's so hard for me to do. Why? Does anyone else have that problem? So now what I do is count from a hundred backwards. It seems to work. But I wont give up on the breathing ones. So hows everyone doing? Hope a bit better today. Smile life is good we got this.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Hidden]

I seem a bit calm now, I'm about to take a shot of my apple cider vinegar. For some reason it has been helping which is good. I'm grateful. But this anxiety has me all sick to my stomach. I dislike this feeling big time.

[Hidden in reply to Espinoza38]

I sure can relate to you..it's been a tough week so far for me. Love & Hugs!!! XXX

[Espinoza38 in reply to Hidden]

Do you ever feel sluggish. Like just so tired even after you slept good.

[Hidden in reply to Espinoza38]

Not really ...just sometimes I can't get motivated...maybe due to the depression...I have to push myself. I'm sorry you are feeling this way! Love & Hugs!!! XXX

[Espinoza38 in reply to Hidden]

Maybe it's my depression acting up. At times I feel good others I feel like I'm a die. I know I'm healthy I know I am.

[Hidden in reply to Espinoza38]

Hang in there & stand strong.....It's good that you are healthy!!! XXX

Good morning Espinoza

I agree it’s hard to do the breathing because in most cases we are hyperventilating and don’t know it. We breath fast but shallow in turn starts the panic attack. I lay on my stomach with my face in the pillow and slow down my breathing then start my breathing exercises. You’ll be ok we all cope with techniques in different ways. I find coming to this site is helpful because for me I see other people with the same symptoms and it make me realize in the moment it’s just something that will pass. John

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ironj]

Yup that is true. And I do love this site
