Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I know this should go in the anxiety forum, but this one goes a lot faster. Does anyone know how to stop a panic attack? I am getting them several times a day.

Heard deep, slow breathing may help

Try breathing into a paper bag, but ultimately you need to find out why youre having them to try and stop them :)

Ok, thanks.

I wish I knew. I too used to get them several times a day, it is now several times a week. I find that if you concentrate on breathing properly (from the abdomen not the chest) and, in my case, I use ice or a cold cloth. If they become really severe Ativan does help, but is very addictive, so I try not to use it. Just keep telling yourself you will not die from them - even though it usually feels like you will. Good luck

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
