Anxiety and panic attacks
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi all
Am just wondering if any of you can share how you calm yourself down when your having a panic attack.
I don't know how to control mine and it's really scaring me! Am a 32yr old man and I break down in tears to my mum and even my boss I just feel like a wimp
Just want my life back I want to get drunk with pals and go out and enjoy life instead of living in my bedroom
Sorry for moaning this site the only place I can vent my frustrations!
Wish we could all meet and exchange stories and help one another!
Take care all

I try and focus my mind on something else and for a start it didn't really work but i did it every time i have one and i can usually calm down in a few minutes or so now. There are probably better ways but i found that works well for me

Also, if you can feel yourself going to have an anxiety or panic attack, just go take a seat or lie down if you are at home, and think of a happy place or memory, try to think how you felt at the moment. Mine used to be thinking of a holiday location where I was with my Nanny who is no longer with us.
Hope any of that helps at all!
