Hang in there you’re almost there don’t give up. We’ve all been there anybody that’s on this posting has been there. You have to understand that the mind is interpreting this stuff. It doesn’t know what is real and what isn’t real. So it’s making it into a threat and the more you get worked up the more your mind thinks it is really going on. You have to relax take a deep breath. You’re going to be all right. Be honest with you no one has ever died from an anxiety attack. Whatever’s coming over you let it go don’t hold back. Sadiyou have to relax take a deep breath. You’re going to be all right. Be honest with you no one has ever died from an anxiety attack. Whatever’s coming over you let it go don’t hold back. Say to yourself let it flow over me like water going over rocks in the River. and once you welcome in the anxiety and nose it doesn’t have a foothold on you it’ll subside quickly and even dissipate. Don’t act on it like it’s your enemy. Treated like a friend who is overly protective of you and always want to put a blanket on you to keep you warm. And is trying to look out for your best interest. That’s the way to beat anxiety is the welcome it in. In the hospital they taught us the more you resist the more it will persist. So give into it and let it just go over your body just relax your shoulders and let it just flow through your body. And keep on seeing yourself just let it flow just let it flow. if it gets to be too bad call your doctor and see if they can’t put you on some Xanax. I really say this sincerely good luck and God bless. I still feel myself in that situation every now and then. And I do like I told you let it flow over me like waters over stones in a river. I haven’t taken a Xanax in Over a year and a half now. You’re a very brave person you’ll do well at faith in yourself.
