I'm Scared

[LeoAnon]

I think I'm gonna have a panic attack or something I feel like tingly and like I can't breathe and my heart is thumping in my chest. My brain is tingly. I'm scared what if I die.. my chest feels weird in the middle like somebody punched me

Take slow deep breaths. Distract yourself. Best to you.

Just take some deep calming breaths and try to think of something that comforts you. If you can, listen to some soothing music, preferably music with no words...

Maybe spa music...it’s just relaxing....

You are safe and you have nothing to fear. Everything will be okay. Breath deep ❤️

You cannot die from a panic attack. Tell yourself you’re gonna be okay and get through this!

How are you feeling now?

[LeoAnon in reply to Hidden]

I'm always worried it's something else and not an panic attack .. I'm ok now

[Pinkeye901 in reply to LeoAnon]

This is very normal not even shitting you. What happens to me is I'll start to feel dizzy, then I'll feel like my chest is getting crushed, disoriented, mind going blank, and impeding doom, dry mouth, tingling sensation, and the fear of fear makes it worst. If it's so bad check in ER ok. One thing that help me is to tell yourself to maintain composure and get it check if it's something more serious can't do anything about it, but like I said I'm pretty positive it's anxiety. I'm 30 btw. Crippling anxiety, ocd, clinical depression, cptsd, be bullied, loste bro to suicide. No pity, but letting you know that you are stronger then you think this isn't something I say to try to make you feel better. You are also not alone you have us . Take care friend.

[LeoAnon in reply to Pinkeye901]

Yes I feel the exact same. Geez

[Pinkeye901 in reply to LeoAnon]

Yea it's what anxiety does to you. Especially a panic attack. I hope you're able to manage it. I'd anything let us know.

[Pinkeye901]

True you cant die as someone said it. You're going to have to ride the wave until it passes. Make sure you are not alone and isolated ok. Meaning all alone at home. Just feel the sensations and let it pass. Get back at us ok.

[LeoAnon in reply to Pinkeye901]

Lol thankyou. Nice username. 😂

[Pinkeye901 in reply to LeoAnon]

Haha thanks hopefully it'll be alright

[Starrlight]

Hi LeoAnon, I was having those feelings multiple times a day a year ago for months. It came out of nowhere. I did have a few actual panic attacks as well. I would lay on the couch and watch Stress free tv and movies. Hallmark channel helped me.That is how I kept my mind occupied.

Are you having those feels often or is this the first and only time?

[LeoAnon in reply to NikNick]

Yes I have them multiple times daily

[NikNick in reply to LeoAnon]

In that case I would call your primary doctor and a psychiatrist. I went to the primary to make sure nothing was wrong physically. The psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro and after about 4 weeks I was feeling almost back to my old self. I still have issues every now and then but I’m strong enough now to not go full on panic and realize it’s just anxiety and calm back down.

Please call your doctor ! Go see your Doctor! That’s what their job is! They will help you! I know how you feel. I thought I was going to die too!

Reading 'Dare' book by Barry Mcdonagh helped me a lot. It explains panic attack and anxiety really well and how to get rid of it. It teaches you how to not be scared but dare it. It will go away. Sending you best wishes and positive vibes.
