Panic attacks

Could I please have some tips to beat panic attacks?

Sorry to hear you are suffering with them. They are very scary. Try to remember that although very uncomfortable and frightening they will not harm you. Try not to fight against it, distract yourself & let it go through you. I promise it will go away quicker.

How are you dealing with them at the moment ?

I suffer with panic attacks and they are awful! They always seem to pop up when you really don’t want them to. My advice is to keep calm and relax, I try to let people know I’m having one and they know not to talk to me. I relax my full body, ignore my racing heart and sweating etc and try to lay down. Remember you are not dying, you are ok and it WILL pass. Nice slow breathing, think about last Christmas and who you had dinner with, what your favourite present was etc For some reason I get really emotional when I come out of a panic attack, so if you need to cry- then cry! Have a good weep and I’m good to go 😄 I know my thoughts are in the minority but I don’t believe in taking meds for anxiety. This is just my opinion as I’m worried about side effects etc. Don’t let anxiety win 💪 get on with your day, act like the panic attack never happened and don’t dwell on why it did. You can overcome these, you are a fighter and we are all fighting with you 😊 good luck xx
