Panic attack not ending

[nmp1]

I’ve been having trembling panic attack and not feeling well during them. I think it’s been half an hour. They’re coming in waves. I need advise. I feel alone

don't resist ...

don't fight ...

Just let it pass ...

Let it flow through you ...

watch the symptoms but don't oppose, just watch what happens and try to be calm, I know it's difficult but it's not impossible ...

you can do it, trust yourself, you depend on yourself and that's the good thing!

It’s difficult. I’m on a third wave.

Make your mind focus on your breathing. I get them so bad they’re horrible

I don’t like this feeling. Like anyone would enjoy this. I’m getting maybe 5 minutes to test and the next one slowly starts. My heart rate gets high and I’m trembling. The feeling I get in my chest and stomach causes more panic. I’m so tired but I’m his doesn’t let me rest. I need to be doing something with my hands or standing.

I know it's difficult, right now I'm having one too, just read some news that shattered my mind, but we have to try to stay as calm as possible, breath, don't get tense, don't get mad... It's just a dark cloud passing by like many others before... We can do this... Let's focus in ourselves, not in the thoughts... Just stay still and let it go through you

I've had the same thing happen before. It's like an anxiety attack that doesn't quite go away. It just subsides and peaks again. As very difficult as it is. Concentrate on slow deep breaths and it happen. It won't hurt you. Try to distract yourself with a movie, music, reading, go for a walk, call a friend, etc. Hang in there. You aren't alone.

With panic attacks I get I can’t even leave my room because it’s so overwhelming. I trying deep breathing but idk nothing really helps

I know it can be really hard. Concentrating on it can just make it worse too. Have you ever listened to or read anything from Claire Weeks? She was a doctor in Australia that specialized in anxiety disorders. Her books can be bought on Amazon and videos on YouTube.

The feelings you are experiencing are due to adrenaline that your body is releasing due to what your brain is thinking. Try to use it up by running or some other activity. Ultimately what you need to do is change the way you think. I can't tell you how to do this but counseling may help. Some people use imagery, others do slow breathing- inhale counting to 4 and exhale counting to 4. Some develop a Mantra-"this too shall pass" or maybe sing a song -" Hey, Jude" , "I won't back down".

It is just a horrible feeling but it will end. Many of us have this and we have gotten through many panic attacks. We are basically afraid of becoming afraid. Nothing horrible is actually going on. Our bodies are just acting like something is.

It is very frustrating because people who don't have panic attacks don't get it. They think you are having anxiety like they have felt and tell you to take a walk or drink some tea. While you feel like a cat hanging upside down from the ceiling by your nails.
