Hi Firstly I know how you feel. It is very scary to feel like you cannot breathe and that sense that panic is rising. Distraction is a good way of easing how you feel. It is impossible to think for two things at the same time. If you distract yourself you can get relief. Diazpram when I am really feeling bad does help me. I use this as my last resort. I also think that Camomile tea can be helpful.

Another tip is to remember that you can always cope with the current moment. Your real fear is not what is happening now but what you think will happen in the future. Say to yourself that you can cope with the current moment and stay in the moment and do not think ahead.

My very best wishes

Mark

Dude, you gotta listen. It feels like you cannot breathe because you are subconsciously over breathing. I've had it. I've had it to where it's felt like my chest was being crushed. And I never even got that checked out because it went away when I stood up and did something.

The dream feeling is called drealization. I've had it, I've overcome it. Now I've got Depersonalization but neither are dangerous or indicative of a mental problem. It's very common In anxiety and only needs a very small amount to be activated. It's the brains response of wanting to protect you from the stress. That is literally it.
