I can't stop crying - please help

Hi Zoeyl. I'm so sorry you are feeling like you do. The best thing you could have done is to contact this forum. You are not alone! We all have setbacks that put us down but not everybody can handle them, like myself. If this feeling has lasted a while you may certainly be depressed rather than just sad. Please see your go for some help and let your feelings out on this forum. Lifestyle is also a major factor and excercise and healthy eating can make you feel better about yourself. Try not to be hard on yourself x

I know how you feel, zoey! your not alone !!!

Hello ZoeyL,

Are panic attacks a major factor in your life?. I ask this because a major panic attack as you put it, is VERY DEBILITATING and it is therefore no surprise that you feel the way you do right now You don't say what treatment you are currently on, ie meds etc. It may be that you have to address your panic attacks and by far the best way for this is some for of relaxation/meditation . Or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Our problem is we have trouble explaining ourselves to the doctors and so go round in circles. The good news is this forum will give you so much support. Take it and good luck

Hi zoeyL. I just want you to know that i went through the same thing. Its natural. Your not different. Your not a freak. Your normal. Talk to your parents and family and get help. Talk. Dont keep your emotions in. Let them out. Let them run their course. Trust me.

Panic is caused by fear of not meeting certain expectations; I know it feels like it's happening randomly, but subliminaly your brain is panicking because you fear you won't be able to do something. First, you need to figure what it is you are afraid of failing at; it can be a variety of things, from fearing you will lose control of a situation and make of fool of yourself to fearing you won't be able to make it out of an attack and just die/go crazy. When I had panic attacks before, I realized that was exactly my fear; I felt like I won't be able to pull myself out of it because I am not strong enough, and I thought I would just keep having one attack after another until I finally collapsed of a heart attack or stroke. What helped me was reading about the science behind anxiety and panic, which led me to realize that people don't die from panic attacks and the worst that can realistically happen is you pass out and wake up eventually. Knowing this helped a lot. 

Another thing which contributes to panic, which you may or may not have is OCD and obssesive/compulsive thoughts. When you are panicking, you probably feel the urge to give into your fears time and time again, in an attempt to alleviate the stress. Simply put, don't. Don't think of all the horrible scinerio's your mind is trying to make you live out in your imagination. You can do that after your attack is over, and you will see how silly these thoughts usually are. My advice is to tell yourself 'it's just a panic attack' and not think about anything for a few minutes, then try to think about something positive.

Good evening zoeyL,

    Really sorry about what you are going through and all I can refer back to is what Jesus did for me because what Jesus did for me he can do the same for you. You know what he did he saved my soul he dilivered me out of all my troubles. If you read  Deuteronomy 6 verse 31 it tell you in no matter what you face in life Jesus is still with you. He loves you and I understand that what you are going through is devastating but everyday pray to God about it all and thank him for allowing you to see another day. Even though you may feel like you don’t deserve what you Re facing but if you also read Romans 8 verse 28 in the KJV bible it’s working for the good. Don’t feel alone my prayers be with you! Hope you get comfort and your children back. Jesus loves you!! He is your friend even when you are alone.
