Life and trauma

@Former-Member

Do your best to relax and just breathe. If you heart rate doesnt settle, then call an ambulance.

I have a friend who got electrocute and had had an issue with her heart rate randomly went through the roof regularly for the 3 years since the accident. i may have rold you thus before. But I just want to remind yiu that none of these medical people have any issue whatsoever if you keep calling them with a dangerously high heart rate. So dont let anything put you off calling them if you do feel you should.

@MJG017 i know.

You have mentioned your friend and it's funny that you say that cos lately everytime I turn on a light switch or power point i get zapped, like it literally sparks at me and i feel the shock of it.

@MJG017 are you around to chat at all?

Hi hun, what’s up?

@Oaktree having a panic attack and my thoughts are racing. It's just all so overwhelming.

@Former-Member

Sit down and take 3 slow breaths. That will calm down your amygdala.

@Oaktree if only it was that easy. Breathing was already challenging cos of my heart rate sitting high.

@Former-Member

Try sitting in the dark and just concentrate on your breathing.

@Oaktree I'm laying in my bed in darkness and I'm trying.

@Former-Member

Well that’s good. Maybe try some muscle relaxation techniques. Tense up a part of your body then relax it. Work your way around the body
