Re: Panic Attacks

(Anonymous) 2013-02-27 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's pretty much what I feel too. My heart feels like it's going to explode, I don't feel a connection to how my body is moving even though I'm aware I'm the one moving my limbs, and I feel like I'm losing my ability to form thoughts outside of observing things. "This wall is black, you need to calm down, etc. But I can't actually think.

I tried breathing evenly through my nose but that seemed to just ramp up my terror because I became convinced I was going to pass out. Every time I feel them coming tonight I take a deep breath through my mouth, hold it for fifteen seconds and then exhale slowly and just focus on that until I feel myself numbing out again.

Thank you so much for commenting.

Shit that was me. Reply here please?

You're welcome, and that's pretty much what I go through, too-So I can understand how scary it is! Have you ever tried distracting yourself? Watching something or talking to someone? I've found it's sometimes easier to handle if I distract myself, because I know once the attack passes I'll still be me. (Even if at the time it feels like if I don't hold on I will be lost!)
