No Not Again
Having another rough night. Legs are shaky, skin feels itchy and once again my heart is pounding. Thoughts in my head are loud. I need help with a distraction.

You are stronger than you think @Lee82
You have shown the strength to continue even when things are extremely hard.
Go easy on yourself hun. Distracting ourselves is tiring and hard work, you are doing the very best you can.

It just hurts somuch @Snowie . I feel it in my chest. The pain won't go away. My thoughts in my head are so loud. I want them to stop. How can I make them stop? I feel really sick like I want to throw up. My body is hot but I am shivering. My finges are tingling and numb. I feel like I am on the edge of a panic attack.

Hi there @Lee82 ,
I am moderating the forum at the moment and I have just sent you an email.
I'm really glad you have been open about how you're feeling.
Warm regards,
Mufasa

Try and take some long deep breaths @Lee82
Use your 5 senses, notice things you can see, hear, feel, touch, smell.
Can you listen to a mindfullness - smiling mind or you tube - or even do a progressive muscle relaxation.
Touch something or hug something tightly. Smell it, feel the warmth in it, feel the texture on your face.
Have a cup of tea. Immerse yourself in it. What it tastes like, the warmth in your mouth and down your throat, the smell, the warmth in your hands.
Just concentrate on one small thing at a time 💖

The focusing on what's around the room and trying to use all my senses really helped to ground me. How are you doing tonight @Snowie?
