Re: not coping

@outlander Panic attack? You're under an incredible amount of stress...it would be understandable.

It's amazing how holding your breath for 3 seconds helps...but it does.

Re: not coping

Anxiety can come from anywhere hun and come on quickly too. Sometimes there is no reason.

Just try to concentrate on one things at a time. Perhaps try a mindfulness cup of tea. Take in the smell, the taste, the feeling in your hands, whats on the teacup. Use your 5 senses to really connect with the tea @outlander

Re: not coping

thanks @Snowie to make things worse we have a storm and that's one thing that makes me really anxious.

I think everything has just hit me over the last week or so and pain and everything just hasn't been helping.

trying to breathe still

Re: not coping

I can sort of breathe @NatureLover but it feels like I cant and its like it really a struggle to get air in

Re: not coping

If you can keep breathing by the numbers that would be good... @outlander
