Anyone there???

Non stop panic this evening.

Hi! I’m here. I’m sorry to hear about your panic, I’ve been there. We can talk, if you’d like

[MRawPR in reply to PastelPink20]

Thank you.... sometimes or most of the time no one understands what we are going through. My partner is wonderful but I get so desperate when I get these attacks that he gets scared and worries so much about me. He had heart surgery 10 years ago and I worry he will be so stressed about my attacks that he can have another heart attack. I can't stop walking from one side of the apartment to the other and crying. I feel like I am losing it.

MEGL, You are going to be okay... find a quiet place to watch

this video on YouTube. If you are chilled, put a light blanket around

your shoulders or your lap. Lower the lighting and listen to the following..

"Meditation for Panic Attacks/Emergency Relief"

I prefer not to watch the rushing waters but close your eyes and listen

to her words. It will pass soon. Breathe xx

Agora. I just read your beautiful writing Seasons. It helped me tremendously to understand that even in this panic and desperation, nature offers us beauty and even so more with someone who I love and loves me back. Thank you so much.

It is difficult. It’s okay to lose it, to cry, to pace, and to take deep breathes.

It’s okay to be burdened with and have to manage anxiety. Some days are better than others.

It’s hard when we don’t want to burden or worry the people we love. 10 years is a long time since heart surgery! I hope his heart is okay, despite that.

I had to excuse myself out of class today. I was hyperventilating, I couldn’t breathe, and I was bawling. And that’s okay, my day was still okay, I don’t feel bad about missing class. I don’t feel bad about needing to cry or being anxious.

I’m allowed to feel. I’m allowed to take care of myself. I’m allowed to have a bad day. (My day is a bit better because someone posted here a post 5 things you love about yourself and 5 things you’re thankful for - you might check out that post!)

I’m sorry it’s one of the prolonged attacks. Those can be very draining and discouraging. And long. :/

I am thankful to have people like you who take the time to lift me up when I am falling in the dark hole. We’re brave and we won’t quit... thank you so much!

Exactly how I feel

[MRawPR in reply to Danland]

I usually panic but know the symptoms and do things to control it until it subsides. But not tonight. It's been worse than ever. With no motive. I had a great day today and now all is just desperation..crying and crying and pacing all over the place.

I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. I hope you’re starting to feel a bit better.

[MRawPR in reply to Booklover0219]

I took my Xanax and it’s finally working! Thank you Booklover!

[PastelPink20 in reply to MRawPR]

Oh thanks such good news!! Glad to hear it.

💔💔 Im so sorry. Ive been there too. Bad insomnia due to panick episodes and having no one to talk too. Its enough for anyone to feel like they are breaking down. Just remember.... tmrw is a brand new day. Deep breath. Inhale, hold, exhale. Over and over. Then do something to distract yourself. Sometimes constant moving made it worse for me. I had to litterally freeze. Even if I had to break down and cry. I am so sorry to read what you are going through. 💕💕 thinking of you. And hope you update us tomorrow on how you are doing.

[MRawPR]

Thank you. Hoping you have a good night.
