I hope no one is watching me I am going through a panic attack had too much sleep
Intrusive thoughts that are not mine. Please no more
Some things I do to calm down are:
Put an ice pack on the back of your head. This will cool down your brain and reduce activity in your limbic system, where emotions happen.
Do a task with simple, clear steps. I like baking. I follow the recipe, and it’s easy enough that I don’t get frustrated, but it requires enough concentration that I don’t have room to think about other things. Cleaning also helps.
Engage your five senses. This will remind you what is real and what isn’t. Listen to soothing music. Smell something pleasant, like an essential oil. Suck on a hard candy. Look at pictures of things you enjoy. Feel something with an interesting texture, like a piece of Velcro or a stress ball.
Try to levitate something with your mind. You obviously won’t succeed, but it gets you to focus all of your attention on a single point outside your body, instead of on your thoughts. I like to use this on airplanes or in public places, because it doesn’t require you to move at all. It looks like you’re just daydreaming to observers.
I’m sorry see, i hope you feel better soon, i think i forgot my morning med so i’ve had half the dose and i feel weird, a bit panicky so hoping it doesn’t get worse as well,
try listening to some nice music or meditation sounds,
Relax take deep breaths close your eyes. Pat on back*.
I went for a drive which helped. A long time ago my dad used to drive me when I was sick until I fell asleep.
Yeah same here. A drive around the block made me fall asleep. How are you?
I am ok. I hope I won’t go through an anxiety attack today. I wish I could talk to my doctor who passed away a couple of months ago. He was so kind and understanding. He had a very soothing voice and he gave me really good advice. He was pretty young when he passed away. I talked to the receptionist before. She was really kind to me. At another place I went to for my sz. people thought I looked really young for my age and the doctor I saw pointed out that I didn’t tell when I really needed help. I was going to college then and the place was near where I lived. I took the light rail and bus to places. I made a friend at school but she became upset when I didn’t want to go out with her to dinner.
