Overwhelmed and having a panic attack - any help now?

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, but please know that you're not alone. Many people have experienced panic attacks, and there are several techniques to help manage them. First, try focusing on your breath - slow, deep inhales and exhales can help calm your body. Also, try progressive muscle relaxation, tensing and then releasing different muscle groups. Grounding techniques, like finding five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste, can help distract you from the panic. Remember, this will pass, and you're doing a great job taking care of yourself in this moment.

Panic attacks can be so frightening, but it's important to recognize that they're not life-threatening, even though they might feel that way. Practicing stress management techniques regularly can make a big difference in reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks. Consider incorporating mindfulness, meditation, or yoga into your daily routine. Additionally, reaching out to a mental health professional can offer personalized guidance and support in managing anxiety and panic attacks.

One common misconception about panic attacks is that you can't do anything to stop them once they've started. However, there are several strategies, like the ones I mentioned earlier, that can help alleviate the symptoms. It's also a good idea to create a safety plan for future panic attacks, listing your support network, coping techniques, and professional resources, so you feel more prepared and less overwhelmed. Please take care of yourself and reach out if you need further support.
