Hello , Have you heard about breathing exercises ? They are helpful for panic attacks . First , breathe in as slowly, deeply and gently as you can, through your nose Second , breathe out slowly, deeply and gently through your mouth some people find it helpful to count steadily from 1 to 5 on each in-breath and each out-breath Third , close your eyes and focus on your breathing Also , have you eaten , if you only woke up ? I read that it could be the reason of bad feeling too .

@ Liza Dogtieva Usually there's a trigger for my panic attacks but this one was so sudden, I didn't know how to react

panicking so bad
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

Severe panic attack
Today I woke up with severe panic attack. My heart jumps out of my chest. As I do every morning. When I wake up and my brain is awake it automatically goes straight to intrusive thoughts about my partner, my life and everything else. That I don’t love her, I don’t want to be with her and she’s not the one for me and I should break up with her. This all happened from TikTok comments I saw that triggered this. Since then I haven’t been able to stop my thoughts. I know she is the one for me I know I love her I just can’t stop the thoughts. It feels so real. The voices feel so real.
