Can someone help me? I was trying to clean my daughter’s car got hot and got anxiety now all I can focus on is my heart rate and it doesn’t feel good and I am freaking the f out!
EXPOSE!!! Maybe something is wrong!🤷🏻♀️ Take deep breaths…you got this!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻
@pickles516 I’m freaking out cause my heart rate has been 80’s to 100’s.
What’s your fear?
Try taking deep breaths, sit down and drink water. And just focus on taking deep breaths for at least 2 to 3 minutes. Unless something is really wrong, it sounds like you’re having a panic attack. I have them all the time. If this starts to happen regularly, I would get an Apple Watch or a fitness tracker to monitor your heart rate when you do get the attacks so that you know it’s decreasing when you’re starting to take the deep breaths.
@Pdxsgdmsb I agree. It sounds like a panic attack probably brought on by getting hot from the weather. They suck for real, but the good thing about a panic attack is they have a beginning, a middle and an end. If you concentrate on breathing, relief will be felt!

The same thing happens to me when my heart rate gets high - I look for little “non-distractions.” I acknowledge “Okay my heart rate is higher than I’d like it to be right now but what else is going on around me.” I typically try to look for things in my environment that I typically wouldn’t notice (getting outside helps with this) like a bird, a flower, a cloud, etc. I find while doing this won’t necessarily decrease my heart rate, the anxiety I feel around it decreases substantially. Hope you’re doing better now!
Get back to what you were doing after you calm down a bit. Cleaning your daughter’s car, give yourself a few mins and a few deep breaths and don’t let OCD interrupt you any further. And for practicality turn on the AC while you clean if you are somewhere hot.
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
Hi everyone. I take hydroxyzine 50 mg every night for anxiety for about five months. I’ve been experiencing at least one heart palpitation a day so of course I went down my googling spiral and saw people say it gave them cardiac arrest? I’m only 19 but I’m so so scared. Please someone help me.
