georgym Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Awww, that's no fun, Marci. My mother has it a lot, and she panics about the simplest of things when it reaches the apex.Yu should check out the latest TIME magazine. It's all about anxiety and how to handle it.hope you settle down, take a deep breath and feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboyfrombklyn Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Talk to someone. Believe me, it helps!Anxiety is something that usually just appears and you don't even know why. I was sitting at work one day when it all of a sudden hit me and I felt like I was gonna die. The key is to reduce the stress in your life to prevent these attacks from happening. Worry less, live more! Hope you feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastey Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 next time try FULLY concentrate on your breathing, in and out, your chest lifts and sinks, in and out, etcmay sound stupid but it works. you just have to distract your mind. best is something very monoton like breathing, which will make you fall asleep in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Zen Buddhist technique, and it *really* helps. I've even been able to get to sleep with a splitting headache, with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perns2002 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 I also no a breathing treatment. It is excellent for your state of mind. You breath but channel it threw to your stomach so your chest doesn't rise, but your tummie. Do it when watching TV, Working, Driving. It truly works......... Everytime I am stressed for whatever reason I breath............ Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboyfrombklyn Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Tastey is right. BREATHING is probably the most important things. When people panic, they usually stop breathing normally. Instead of breathing long, deep breaths, they'll take short ones which just makes the problem worse. Sometimes you may even feel like you're about to pass out (some people actually do). It's lack of oxygen. BREATHE!!!!Feel better PIP-SQUEAK! (Sorry, I just thought it was cute ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycchic24 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 yeah i get that feeling when i balance my checkbook! naw but serioulsy i know how you feel and whne you do fall asleep you toss and turn. i have a penchant for grinding my teethwhen i sleep. so when iam stressed or have that anxiety feeling, my grinding goes up a couple notches... needless to say i am not the most pleasant person to atcually sleep with.
