Panic attack

Having a panic attack at work right now. I’m doing a good job of not showing it, but damn, this is a bad one. The thoughts I’m having are colliding with each other

I’m right there with you. Work is hitting me from every angle today and I’m on mental overload . Hang in there. You’re definitely not alone.

Restful, thank you. Good know that at least I’m not alone. I feel I need stimulation to keep my mind off of negative or anxious thoughts. It’s been slow at work today, which is opposite of what you’re experiencing. The slowness though is not providing me with much to take my mind off of what’s bothering me

I’ve developed insomnia over the past few months. I’m able to fall asleep, but not stay asleep. Waking up multiple times during the night, so the lack of sleep probably isn’t helping the anxiety

I used to have panic attacks in stores. I would go in, then get freaked out at all the people....dunno. Then I would start sweating. Then while I was sweating a lot..I would be thinking "All these people are looking at me sweat". Then I would forget what I was going in the store to look for...... I would eventually walk briskly out of the store without purchasing anything.

I’m sorry this happened to you at work. I know the feeling...it’s happened to me at work too. Sometimes when you’re at work your mind can just wander off and the panic sets in....at least that’s how it was with me.

You are definitely not alone. That one simple fact got me though a lot of panic attacks....just knowing that it wasn’t my fault and that you aren’t alone

Hope you are doing better ***hugs***

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
