Please help me calm down. Panic attack distraction

[Luna_Love143]

I'm feeling extremely bad right now. My nerves are completely shot. I feel the impending doom of a Panic attack coming on and I'm so afraid it will kill me. The scary physical sensations I am experiencing at the moment. Shaking, dizziness, heart rate is jumping around. I keep wanting to go to the ER because I'm that scared right now. If I do end up going I know I feel embarrassed and ashamed as I always do when I go. I just can't calm down. It's the dizziness (vertigo feeling) that's making me feel unsure of my panic attack and physical symptoms.

[Luna_Love143 in reply to XoxoFaith]

Thank you for your response. I Hate this feeling so much. I've been Trying to run and hide from this feeling all day and it takes so much more energy and makes it completely worse. I am seriously just sitting up in bed waiting and waiting afraid this feeling is going to get any worse. I know that's complete tormenting myself. But I can't help it

[XoxoFaith in reply to Luna_Love143]

Yes I know perfectly I woke up anxious too and was trying everything to not get an anxiety attack and when I started to feel I was going to get one I went ouside and took a walk in my neighborhood and it did calm me down how are you feeling right now

[Luna_Love143 in reply to XoxoFaith]

Thanks, I am surfing the wave and to my surprise I'm NOT drowning anymore. I feel like the worst part is over.

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

Aww! That makes me feel so good!!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Can you go make yourself a relaxing cup of tea, etc.?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Awesome! What do you like to drink? I like Pukka English Breakfast. I'm having some now in fact. Would you fancy a cup with me?

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Hidden]

I will do just that. I was in the process of trying to put my daughter's to bed and their NOT going down. It's always hard for me to escape to a quiet place in my home. Maybe we'll all drink some camomile tea right about now.

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

Yikes! Do they like Minnie Mouse? If so, tell them Minnie Mouse says to go to sleep. (My alias here a year ago was Minnie Mouse)

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Tell them her ears are losing their shape...

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, they do like Minnie Mouse. They are in a goofy mood tonight 🤪. And right now it's breaking my heart because Instead of me being goofy with them I'm over here scared I'm gonna die of a Panic attack.

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

Aww. I'm so sorry.Ok, they're goofy. The ears thing might not work then.

How about Elsa losing her powers?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I live in Norway. I can make it happen.

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

Omg, it sure is!Calling Elsa now...

I visited Arendal last summer. This is the town that the kingdom of Arnedelle is named after.

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much, I just finished making my tea. I hope you have a Beautiful day.

[Hidden in reply to Luna_Love143]

Hi again. You're welcome! Great! Which kind did you make? Thanks! You have a good night!

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Hidden]

I made the quick and easy Celestial Camomile honey. I'm not a big tea drinker only on occasion but I always have a few packs of Celestial Brand in my pantry. I love the Peppermint flavor.

[Luna_Love143]

Dizziness is my mortal enemy! It is SO scary but the truth is even when it is a symptom of something other than anxiety, 99% of the time it isn't something dangerous. Think inner ear crystals or mild dehydration. But boooyyy can it scare the s**** out of you when you have anxiety because we always jump to the worst case scenario. Dizzy? Oh I must be about to pass out. Dizzy? Oh I must be about to DIE. In truth our brains are just a little extra, and it definitely sounds to me like you're having classic panic and anxiety, which, while incredibly uncomfortable, will NEVER hurt you. Well unless you get dizzy and walk into a wall or something. Hahah

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Anxiouslulu]

You're totally right. That's reassuring, I've experienced vertigo from a inner ear infection in the past and that was a strange experience. When I'm having a dizzy spell I try to think of the old lady from the comedy show Arrested Development, and she's falling all over the place from her vertigo everywhere in a funny setting like hanging on to the walls while she's walking through a hallway, lol.... Thank you!

[Compuwise]

How are you feeling now?

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Compuwise]

I am feeling better, I believe the worst part has passed. Thank you. I really did get a bit of a distraction tonight with this post and got some great advice. I am still a bit antsy but I definitely feel better. Praying to keep this peaceful feeling throughout the night.

[Arymretep]

Glad you’re feeling better, sending lots of love 😘 xx

[Luna_Love143 in reply to Arymretep]

Appreciate it greatly. Thanks so much

I wake up and i'm at the same state. But more mental than physical oddly. If you're more in the physical aspect it will pass faster and with easier methoods like just breathe, don't do anything, just focus on your breath. I guess this is the difference between panic and anxiety attacks. I'm speaking bs again, hey just it's okay, it passes, probably already passed untill i write this (I'm a really awkward being don't mind me)
