Hard time breathing! Panicking inside.

[mz_rachel]

Right now I'm taking deep breaths. I'm feeling like I can't breathe. Or running out of air and feeling the doom. I'm aware of this and yet I'm fighting something. I don't know how to breathe at this point. My chest is tight, my throat feels closed off, I'm jittery, like I can't breathe but as I'm typing this *I AM breathing. I'm breathing every breath thinking about it. I'm scared to feel this way but I know I should try not to panic. I just took half my pill and my mind is racing. My hands and feet are tingling but I will get through this. I have to stay strong. I gotta figure out the trigger. God please help me..

That's good self-talk ^.

I hope you are feeling calmer now x

Thank you Daisy. I do feel better now thank God. Still anxious but better than earlier. It was definitely a bad episode! I'll admit those ones are scary... But they're just another thing to put in the books.

I feel you.. I woke with bad anxiety today, and tearful, fed up, frustrated with it. Still waiting for it to wear off some more.

Sometimes I almost prefer the attacks because it ends. The lingering anxiety lasts for so long, days, weeks... meh!

Wishing you a good rest of your day/night x
