Anyone online? Panic attack :(!

[PinkCookie]

So worried right now, worried about school tommorow, worried about my parents arguing, giving me a panic attack and horrible pains that are freaking me out even more

[Hidden]

Hi pink cookie,are you trying your coping aids to try and calm down and relief your anxiety.I try to get out for a walk,do deep regular breathing,in through the nose hold for a count of 5 then out through the mouth,I also listen to music and play games on my iPad.Seems to help me.Can you go to your room,or can you still hear your parents there.If so maybe a walk,just to get away from it may help.x

[PinkCookie in reply to Hidden]

Thankyou so much! Late reply i know but i did listen! Just got back from a very long walk with the dogs just sat in the hills was so relaxing but got a bit dark so decided maybe i should get back and do homework!

[Hidden in reply to PinkCookie]

Glad your feeling better,it's a difficult time at school as I presume your taking exams next term.Dont forget you may be able to get extra time for each exam due to your anxiety,it's worth looking into.have a goo nights sleep,if you can,Keep us up to date about how your getting on xxx

[PinkCookie in reply to Hidden]

Thankyou! Yeah i am then supposed to be doing a levels not so sure now! I will look into that never thought of it! I hope so up at 6 ;( thankyou for your help! This sites very helpful in coping, i never used to do such relaxing things to cope and ended up doing things i regret!xx

[Hidden in reply to PinkCookie]

There have been times I couldn't have coped without the people on here.Do look into the extra time,I know from experience with family members ,you can get this,I'm sure one of your teachers will be able to point you in the right direction.

Have you downloaded "headspace",it is so useful.you get a free trial to see how you go with it.I also have an ebook called mindfulness which I downloaded from the kindle store at amazon,and that was free.Good luck with school tomorrow,I know it will be hard for you face everyone,but try the breathing before you go,and I'm sure you can listen to music on your way there.Will be thinking of you xxxx

[PinkCookie in reply to Hidden]

Definitely ill ask tomorrow if i manage the day ill probably walk out again :/ no i havent ill download it :)! Thankyou so much hope ill get back on track and not fall back into how i used to be :/xx

[Hidden in reply to PinkCookie]

[Hidden in reply to PinkCookie]

Just had another thought,do your teachers know about your anxiety and panic attacks?if not,make them aware,help is available for vulnerable students.Take all the help you can xxx

[PinkCookie in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to PinkCookie]

Don't want to pry,but would your mum or dad be prepared to talk to your teachers to get them to sort something out for you ?

[PinkCookie in reply to Hidden]

No its fine ;)! Hm they might do actually if i ask just really dont want to go straight back into lessons after that panic attack! Ill ask them xx

Hi,I've just got home,had to go to Warrington,such a shame that you had all that stress for nothing this morning,but on the good side you made it there.

Isn't it so easy to say they've sent emails,when they haven't!

With tomorrow's and Fridays full you shouldn't have a problem with that.

I'm at my mums tomorrow and Thursday,so I won't be about much till Thursday evening,but let me know how it goes and I'll answer you as soon as I can.Enjoy your choccies,always a good plan for making you feel better xxxx

Hello

I'm here. Curled up on sofa feeling really rough with what I know is HA but it feels like the end of everything. Oh and yes, I'm worried about school in the morning too. Shame I'm a member of staff!!!!

Try to relax and distract yourself if you can.

Love

Aww sorry hope you feel better soon! Just as i start feeling a bit better in the holidays its back to the stress of schools and exams :(!

[shadow45]

HI pc It will pass... sorry to hear your parents are arguing Can you sort out why you are worried about school... is it something that may not happen. Your pain may be because your body is tensing up lowtongirl is right.. just try and remove yourself from the stress zone. Have to had panic attacks before?. Hope this helps a little keep posting if you need to steve

[PinkCookie in reply to shadow45]

Thankyou! I had a massive panic attack at school about 5 weeks ago felt so silly! Ran out in front of everyone! Took the next 3 weeks off working from home now the 2 weeks holidays is up its time to go back! Yeah ive had a few thankyou for advice x

[fadedlizard]

Glad you're feeling a bit brighter

I've had anxiety since I was your age too and it's a real pain when you're at school.

I found a book called "Living with IT" by Bev Aisbett really helpful. I still refer back to it today. It tells you all about panic attacks in cartoon firm and it really helped me come to grips with what was going on. You'd be able to get a copy off Amazon.

Best Wishes for tomorrow.

Love

Lizard.

[PinkCookie in reply to fadedlizard]

Thankyou will look into it! Glad to be finding better ways to cope with it, its so hard being at school and living in a stressful family just hope i can beat this xx
