Anxiety attack 12/8/2015

around 2:30p felt a panic/anxiety coming along. Felt nervous even typing this. Can’t swallow and felt extreme anxiety. don’t know how i can fall asleep. Want to go to the hospital but this is not a wise choice. Would like take some action but i don’t know what to do. Breathing does not help only keeping water in my mouth and not swallowing helps but is impractical. Need help falling asleep don’t want to suffer anymore.

Try taking a warm shower, if I’m feeling anxious that always helps calm me down and fall asleep.

just tell yourself the only thing you’re afraid of is the anxiety itself? Once you don’t give a damn about the anxiety you can beat it. I had a disabling panic disorder resulting from a severe severe panic attack I had once at work. Lost my job over it because I couldn’t go in public places again for about a year. It’s a mind game defeating anxiety but I assure you there is nothing to fear. tell yourself " so what if I have anxiety???" good luck.

Assure yourself that panic attack is not heart attack. Don’t worry about your physical heart. Then please don’t drive if you are dizzy. It will go away.
