Hi Karen

Sorry to hear you are struggling this morning.Those moments before a looming appointment can be a vulnerable time when anxiety can really rear its ugly head. I really encourage you to draw on the different strategies to get through these next few moments.

You are not alone. Please know that @Jacques and @Former-Member and I are walking beside you right now... If you need to please contact lifeline on 13 11 14 and they can be with you too. This is one way you can return to your breath and refocus back to the present moment. Please let us know how you are going.

Hi @hidden it and @PeppiPatty,

Hi my angel,

I know you are worried and are probably in a down/low mood, i just want you to know how proud i am that you got your anxiety under control and made it to the appointment. it takes a lot of courage to do that 🙂

Hugs my angel, i am here for you unconditionally.

Jacques

Oh no you are not my angel, you are a strong woman, Karen, panic attacks affect us all, you need to find a way to calm down, is their a park you can go to that is quiet? i know it is hot my angel, please drink some water, my angel it makes me so sad to see you think you are a failure after all the good you have done, you are awsome, kind, caring, loving and the best friend i could ever ask for.

hugs my angel, take some deep breaths, see if you can go for a little walk to calm down, and i am always here for you my angel, always.

Ok, how about your breathing, can you get it under control, take some nice deep breaths, in and out, use your essential oils, and maybe put some music on in your car to stop the thoughts going round and round in your head, as loud as you need to stop the thoughts.
