Re: not coping

Just take slow deep breaths hun. Try to slow down your breathing @outlander

Do you need an ambulance hun?

Re: not coping

Lil Sis @outlander--stare at a wall. What colour is it?

Feel what it's like- is it rough. Smooth?

Is it cool or warm? Put you face next to it. Inhale it's smell slowly. Breath out slowly.

Does it have a certain smell? Is it pleasant or not?

Lean on the wall. Feel you breaths against it. Feel your breaths slow down as you take a bigger breath in.

Feel your breath go out slowly against the wall.

Re: not coping

OK, apologies @outlander.

Could you be dehydrated? Suck on some ice cubes perhaps?

Re: not coping

Your in good hands here now @outlander with @Sans911 and @Snowie . But if those things suggested dont help ... please phone an ambulance. 💖

It could be something other than anxiety or panic. Dont take any chances sweetie.

Re: not coping

U dont need to apologise sis. Ive been thinking its anxiety too but i cant work out why its happening. Its like a panic attack but for no reason. Its confusing. Its been happening sinnce about 2 days ago but today
it feels worse @Sans911
Ill ask pop if he can make a tea i think if i stand up the dizziness might get worse.
