Panic attack

[Jfb007]

I’m at the supermarket and I’m having a panic attack. My vision is blurry, I feel that my reality is unreal and I’m short in breath. God please make this stop.

[Agora1]

You're safe Jfb...nothing will happen to you

I will help you through this.

It's time for you to breathe

[Agora1]

Find a place to sit down, or if standing put your hands firmly on

the cart handle or find a booth in the restroom

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

Thank you for those word I will sit down and take a deep breath.

[Agora1 in reply to Jfb007]

You've got 2 of us here holding your hand

We've got you

[kenster1]

do you have somewhere to sit till you compose yourself again if so take 5 minutes to gather yourself together.

[Jfb007 in reply to kenster1]

Yes I will go to the restroom and sit down.

[Agora1]

You are safe...you must know that

Bring your shoulders down away from your ears

Breathe in deeply and exhale long and slow

This will calm down the extra adrenaline

[Agora1]

That's right breathe dear.. Your body is in overdrive right

now but it will pass

[Jfb007]

Thank you, feeling better

[kenster1 in reply to Jfb007]

glad to hear your feeling better.

[Jfb007 in reply to kenster1]

Thank you for been there for me. Feeling much better. Thank you

[Agora1]

You're doing good...give it a little time.

If you have some water take little sips

[Agora1]

Do you have some gum or a mint?

The movement of your facial muscles

will help calm you down as well.

While sitting

you can move your lower legs like you are

riding a bike another way of expelling adrenaline

but keep the slow breathing

[Agora1]

Anxiety is just a bully, stand up to it and will

run like the coward it is.

You are not alone xx

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

Thank you so much for you word and yes it is a bully.

[Agora1 in reply to Jfb007]

Anxiety tells us lies Once we accept what it is

we can forever kick this bully to the curb

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

True. I’m going to keep that in mind for sure

[Agora1]

I'm breathing with you slow and easy

keeping your shoulder relaxed

[Agora1]

This is your life and no one can control it but you.

Breathe

As you breathe count backwards slowly from 10 to 1

[Agora1]

Good job Your breathing is an important tool that goes

with you everywhere and is a big "key" to reversing the

symptoms...

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

Thank you; I’m breathing so much better

[Agora1 in reply to Jfb007]

Do you know how much you are cared about?

I am but just one of many who are always here for

each other. One day you will be reaching out as well x

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

Thank you for been there. Really, thank you. Appreciate it so much.

[Agora1]

Is the Bully cowering in the corner somewhere?

You did it and I'm proud of you

[Agora1]

Time to go on with your day.

The bully played a game and you WON big time. xx

[Jfb007 in reply to Agora1]

Yes; I will continue my day. The bully stayed in the restroom. Thank you
