Panic attack
Having a panic attack and can’t calm down. Please help.
Having a panic attack and can’t calm down. Please help.
Try the 54321 technique. Notice 5 things you see around you, 4 sounds, 3 things you touch, 2 things you smell and 1 thing you taste. It will pass. You are strong and it can’t kill you no matter what
Take big deep breaths. focus on each breath and how it feels in your nose, your belly. feel how it goes through your body and take each time to pay attention to the feelings your body has. play a game on your phone or begin to color while listening to meditations or even asmr. you are strong.
Sending so much love! Take deep breaths while holding on to something tight like arms of a chair, take off your shoes and socks and feel your feet on the floor. The sensation of breathing feeling your hands and your feet all together can bring you back to the present
I wish I was equipped to tell you the right things, but I’m in the same boat. This too shall pass. Be brave.
Be careful with normal CBT breathing like this though because it can turn into compulsion if you have OCD. All good suggestions otherwise.
im having a big big panic attack right now and i cant even calm down. i get extreme anxiety when i know that someone is irritated at me . my ocd thoughts are going crazy. im not peaceful to be around . all i cause is irritation. please someone help . i cant stop crying
Can anyone please confort me? I'm having a really bad panic attack, I can't stop crying and I feel like im losing my mind from the fear. I feel like maybe I should just go to the hospital because it feels so real
I am freaking out with panic. It feels like I want to or have to hurt my boyfriend and it’s causing me to have the worst panic attack I’ve had in a while. It feels like I should be in a mental institution and all I want to do is cry. I know at a time like this I need to lean into the anxiety but I’m absolutely terrified. Please. Anyone. Words of wisdom or encouragement. It feels so different than normal and of course I’m so worried this is not OCD. how could it be? It’s so convincing and scary.
