Anxiety attack

I have been having an anxiety attack for about two hours now. I sat down on the floor and for some reason it helped a little. Talking about it helps too. I just want to clock out and go home where I feel safe. My home is my safe place and refuge. The one place where I feel I have some control over my environment. I can't even focus to read. Sometimes reading helps me focus on something else besides what's going on inside my head and the anxiety in my body.

Hope you’re doing better now...agree reading can help bring you some place else - hope you can focus when home. Thinking about you

Been there. Is it possible to get a pad and pen? I often found writing helps - don't think about what you are going to write, just write. It helps get the thoughts out of your head and might provide you enough space and peace to feel a little better.

Anxiety is terrible. I know because I suffer from it. I take Lyrica for it now and it seems to help to some extent. I am not sure if you take any meds. I hope you will calm down.
