@kenny0 Any more tips

@kenny0 Any moreeee just in case why do you think I’ll be okay

@GummyDrop You will be distracted, your ocd wont be able to reach you

@kenny0 It’s anixety not ocd

Knowing that if it happens it will go away eventually even if it's uncomfortable in the moment. That's how I work through my panic attacks. Give yourself what you need in the moment... whatever that is. I, too, carry cold water with me in case as well, and I dress in layers because the child helps me feel better. You're strong and you've got this!!

*the COLD helps me feel better. 😂 sorry

Well someone told me to let go of what has not happened yet

@GummyDrop That can be hard, but is true. My anxiety rises in the unknown, so I've been working on being ok in the moments when I experience panic. Going through that (when it's safe to) has been helpful to me and lets me let go somewhat of the unknown.

Also practice mindfulness and breathing to bring you into the moment. A lot of times panic happens because we're not in the moment. There are a lot of exercises that can help with that, like using your senses to focus on 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. That one's helps me a lot.
