My advice would be to keep going on this post. Putting ^it^ into words helps with the processing.

Just breathe. . .

thanks, the breathing exercise helped alot

Grounding exercises can help, too. If you feel yourself panicking, use them (you can Google some or just do the standard stuff like focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch, taste in your immediate environment at that particular moment).

And, yes, talking about whatever is making you anxious can help you get it out of your mind, and can also help you identify your trigger.

I hope you're feeling better now. We're here for support if you need to talk.

Thank you guys, I'm feeling much better.

Breathing exercises work for me, too. If I don't use them, I either pass out from hyperventilating in a panic attack or, oddly enough, I throw up. The latter happens to me once about every 3 months. The breathing exercises I use come from a Buddhist meditation class I took through my local bookstore. What kind are you using? Since they worked so well for you, they might work for me, too. Glad you're feeling better.

Breath in for 5 counts, breath in out for 7 counts, and focus on one thing. Breath slowly

Counts! Aha, a method I hadn't thought of. Genius.

The Buddhist or Hindu methods have to do with getting the breathing in rhythm with a mantra or a chant of some kind. The musical quality of it seems to work for me, but so would this mathematical method, too. Thanks, hopefulfuture, I'm going to use it.
