Re: not coping

Is your breathing calming at all @outlander ? Even a little bit?

Re: not coping

I'm worried that if your breathing hasn't calmed at all you might need to call an ambulance @outlander ...

Re: not coping

Please call 000 @outlander It is distressing to hear you cannot breathe and nothing is helping. You would give the same advice to anyone else in this situation.

Re: not coping

You're amazing @outlander ...in the midst of a panic attack and struggling to breathe, you are still thanking us (before), supporting others and then asking how we are! 😯

I'm very relieved to hear your breathing's eased a bit...I hope you can keep things nice and calm to get your breathing completely back to normal.

I'm fine thanks, and I hope you can get a bit of food down a bit later...

Well done sweetie for getting through the worst of it (well hopefully that was the worst of it)

Re: not coping

thanks @NatureLover sometimes I find it better to just get right out of my own head too .
its helped that the storm has passed as well cause the big claps of thunder and lightning weren't helping either.

im glad your ok, I know the past few days have been quite stressful for you too
