Anxiety Support Group

Check your breathing--are you holding your breath? Try to take a deep breath (counting to 5), then exhale slowly (counting to 6). This has helped me in the past. Best wishes.

deep breathing actually works!! it will stop my anxiety attack as they start, positive thinking aswell!!! works for me.

calming breaths work wonders...

focus especially on the exhale

it feels like a long sigh of relief

The troubling truth is, you don't control it, you go with it ... like a giant wave in the ocean that flips you over and leaves you spitting out sea-water and sand.

Unlike the wave, however, it does not have the power to kill or injure you. As awful as it feels, it is only temporary discomfort that always passes.

Breathe, get focused on something mundane and mentally challenging, like doing arithmetic in your head.

I would have anxiety attacks on stage when I played music. I would name the notes in each chord I was playing to keep my mind preoccupied with something other than the anxiety, it would pass.

Best of luck!

yeah but i feel like it gets so bad that the cowards who hurt me, are standing over me. my knees begin to shake and i fall to the ground and cry bc i see someone who looks like him! i swear it was him.... idk

Then, it sounds like a flashback situation to me. I've been there. I think you need to talk to a professional. Hugs.
