A59, SOS....Something horrible happened!

[mz_rachel in reply to JEG325]

Thank you so much for caring

[JEG325 in reply to mz_rachel]

Apologies for interfering with your post. I had a tragedy of my own that day. Sorry. I'm actually not a bad person. I'm wellknown on this site for caring and being someone good to talk to. Okay?

[mz_rachel in reply to JEG325]

No of course I thank you for taking the time to replying I’m actually in an episode now

[JEG325 in reply to mz_rachel]

What's up, my friend?

[mz_rachel in reply to JEG325]

Same old crap. Feeling like I can’t breathe. So I’m writing my thoughts out. I was in the middle of dinner and I excused myself and laid down while shake this off. It’s the same episode at night

[JEG325 in reply to mz_rachel]

Have you tried the slow, deep breathing exercise? Close your eyes, let yourself drift, breath in an out slowly and deeply, all the while allowing your mind to go where it want to....

[mz_rachel in reply to JEG325]

When I do breathing exercises I feel worse

[JEG325 in reply to mz_rachel]

Okay...you're doing 2 good things, journelling and communicating with someone. When's the last time you ate?

[mz_rachel in reply to JEG325]

Earlier but my mind was already filled with thought. And I just couldn’t eat comfortably =\

[JEG325 in reply to mz_rachel]

Lack of food, especially protein, can cause you.problems. A few bites of meat, with some beans for fiber would probably help. Adequate amounts of water is incredibly important too.

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

Hey if you're up give me a call, I can talk with you. I love you!

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I love you too, my sweet friend!

[mz_rachel in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much for messaging me it means a lot

Take some slow, deep breaths and try to find something outside of your anxiety to focus on. It might be unconventional, but I like ASMR videos. There are also meditation apps out there that might help. (Headspace is v good for beginners)

It’s very common to wake with anxiety and feel like your body is running away with you. That’s your fight or flight reaction in full force- it brings that rapid heartbeat, changes to your breathing- it’s all part of that nervous system response designed to help you escape danger. It feels wrong but YOU WILL BE OKAY. You can get through this.

[mz_rachel in reply to maggief9812]

It’s just so scary and then I feel like I’m gonna stop breathing

Thank you so much. It’s just so scary when I have my episodes and I feel that no one can relate
