Allergies and anxiety

[Cjonesabq]

I am anxios today. I have allergies and sinus trouble which is giving me a cough. I worked myself into a panic attack and just calming down. Is anyone here to chat with?

Hi. Please try not to worry. I notice that you say you HAD a panic attack. This means that it has now gone and you survived through it. I know that panic attacks are horrible but you feed them with your own fear. Say to yourself that you are okay. You have had panic attacks before and they reach a peak but ALWAYS fall away again. Remember to breathe slowly and evenly. When the panic has gone, try to find something to do to take your mind off it. Good luck. Gilly x

No problem. I do know it's not easy and that they seem to overwhelm you. Also, you maybe think you've survived them before but this one is even worse! If you can, try to see the truth behind that. It is your mind playing tricks on you.

Good luck and happy to be of some help. Gx
