What’s going on ? Take a big deep breath- you aren’t alone , there are lots of people here to listen ... what is happening right now ?

IDK am just too afraid, I have this sense of fear of something. IDK. I am damn anxious, am afraid to sleep. What to do? IDK what's happening

[Hannah712 in reply to Redfox9]

First, are you safe? Is anyone there with you ? Stop what you’re doing , and concentrate on breathing, slowly in slowly out count to 4 each time . You might be having a panic attack , has this happened before?

Shut off the tv or radio or any over stimulating stuff- find something to focus on

Keep breathing

[Redfox9 in reply to Hannah712]

Yes am safe, but haven't slept for 2-3 days,no this haven't Happened to me before. I need to sleep but am scared of sleeping. Idk. I was trying to act like normal but today i am unable to handle this.

[Hannah712 in reply to Redfox9]

If you haven’t slept in that long I would go to see a doctor, you said it’s day time where you are ? Do they have urgent care or emergency rooms or walk in clinics where you are ? Are you a little more calm? I think you might be having panic attacks - I’m not there so I don’t know 💯 percent but while they end in the mean time there may be some relief if you see someone. Are you able to do that ? Is there anyone who can go with you ?

[Hannah712 in reply to Hannah712]

And yes, if you pray that can help too

[Redfox9 in reply to Hannah712]

Yes there's emergency room here for that, but I am not sure of going there. I don't want to leave my bed. But I did consulted a doctor, he was bit in a hurry, but he told me to meet him in person and talk briefly,he gave me advice that I should try to sleep early.

If you are a person who prays, I have found some peace by closing my eyes and repeating the Our Father or the Hail Mary.

I just do this over and over and try not to think of anything else.

You are not alone.

[Redfox9 in reply to Hidden]

Yes I am religious, and thanks for this idea. I really need to pray now, it helps me to calm down .

[Hidden in reply to Redfox9]

Find a prayer that is meaningful to you...kneel beside your bed and pray before lying down.

And if worrys are keeping you awake, as they do me, just try to block everything out and say your prayer over and over.

I'm praying for you and me.

I wish you peace and sleep.

[Redfox9 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks a lot sir, it helped me a lot. when praying it seems like there's someone with you, like it's helping in mysterious ways. It give me assurity that nothing bad will happen. Am feeling good now, but still I think am on verge of getting panic attack. Am trying to take deep breaths and distract myself.

[Hannah712 in reply to Redfox9]

Good ! Reach out again if you need to

I’ll pray for you too

[Redfox9 in reply to Hannah712]

thanks hannah for being there for me, it means a lot, thanks a lot.hope you have a great day ahead.

[Hannah712 in reply to Redfox9]

Anytime !

[Hidden in reply to Redfox9]

Just take deep breaths...close your eyes...and repeat a prayer.

Try not to think of anything else. It seems hard to do sometimes, I know, but if your mind strays, go back to your prayer. No matter what, force your mind back to your prayer. God has you.

No worries.

[Redfox9 in reply to Hidden]

hope you have a great day ahead.
