i have same thing love take deep breath .. and let it out slowly.. your ok.. your not alone ok hugs

You'll be ok - just try to concentrate on your breathing - in - out slowly in - out

you are not alone
and it's normal
be aware of what your body is saying now and go with it
breathe slowly

Sweetie they're right you're not alone. Panic attacks can be scarey. Try to breathe slowly in and out. Picture a safe place in your mind and slowly go there. Breathing slowly in and out. WE're here with you, you're not alone. Ok do you have your safe place pictured in your mind? I often picture the beach, the sun warming me, listening to the seagulls, the waves of the ocean rolling in and when they roll out they take my troubles. Is this helping? I sometimes also find it help ful to distract myself.

teresa, did you try the warm line? i know its wonderful to talk here online, but i think you would benefit more from hearing a kindly voice! just think back to the other day when you talked to jane! didnt it make you feel so much better?

It's also helpful to have something ahead of time picked out you can think of that calms you - your "happy place". For me, it is when my cat comes and curls up with me and purrs in my ear. He is such a sweetie.

I picture myself riding a horse along the beach. Always been a dream of mine and just seems so free to me. Find your happy place and keep breathing!

You are never alone you have us. When you feel the panic coming on get a paper lunch bag and start breathing into it. It really works. My husband is an EMT and explained to me why but I have tired brain right now so I cant remember. Night night hun. We love you!

I need to learn to read the replies first - sorry - so that's two votes for finding a safe, happy place in your mind.

Breathing techniques can be helpful for the anxiety. Relaxation exercises have also helped me in the past. We do care about you:)

Hi, Teresa:

You are so not alone. I have seen you continually reach out to people in support and caring. You are a truly special person and you have a lot of goodwill here towards you.

We're here with ya. Just keep your fingers on the keyboard and feel our support coming off of it for you. And breathe. I use relaxation exercises, too.

I am hyperventilating.

Can you envision all of us holding you in a warm cashmere blanket. Everyone is gathered around you and you are safe and relaxed in our arms.
If you like, we can sing you a lullaby until you fall asleep. But, everyone is holding you because you are a very beautiful little girl.
We all love you.

we are all here with you,just breath in and out very slowly.think of the ocean or something relaxing like a flickering fire.
breath deep
we love you and will be here with you...i wont go anywhere until you let us know you are ok.

I'm scared
