I struggle with panic disorder

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Sam and I've been struggling with panic disorder and anxiety. I lost my job 3 months ago after having multiple attacks at work and have been since working on healing myself. So far so good! I'd love to get to know others and work through things together. It's just nice to know I'm not alone, you know? Any tips for dealing with panic attacks as they happen or managing daily stress?

Hey Srivet. Look for the books or audiobooks by Dr. Claire Weekes, such as 'Hope and Help for your Nerves'. It's kind of my bible for this sort of question.

Please research CBD oil for anxiety and panic attacks. It has made a huge difference for me.

I've tried CBD gummies bit I don't think I got the right dosage. I'm glad it's been working for you. I'll definitely check it out again

Hi Srivet!

I echo JAYnLA's recommendation. I suggest studying the material in a way that makes you an expert on it. Then practice, practice, practice. Find ways to have panic attacks so you can practice. A Panic attack/anxiety can be disabling, or it can be a buddy that you understand and no longer fear. We all get to choose. Practice making it the latter and your panic attacks will become tiny little blips, and they often eventually become nonexistent :)

Hi there, all I can tell you is what I’ve been told a million times is that a panic attack won’t kill you. Each time I hear that I think to myself, yeah cuz you’ve never had one or walk a mile in my shoes, buddy. Even when it gets bad I make myself practice gratefulness. sometimes it’s harder than others but it helps me that and breathing. Wish I had the answers. 🤗 🤷‍♀️🤗
