**nicki** · 03-05-2005, 01:42 AM

I dont know, i used to get panic attacks but they went away, now they keep coming back and im getting so upset

**nicki** · 03-05-2005, 01:44 AM

i feel a bit nauseous and i keep getting stomach cramps, normally it wouldnt phase me but its sent me right into a panic

**jptk** · 03-05-2005, 01:44 AM

Try to take deep breaths, focus on your breathing. just tell yourself that its just panick and nothing else.

**jptk** · 03-05-2005, 01:48 AM

try to think of nothing but your breathing, deep breaths, it should help

**jptk** · 03-05-2005, 01:59 AM

try and keep telling yourself that your not ill, cause its all symtoms of a panic attack. i find tv is good to try and calm down. anything that can take your mind off it is good

**nicki** · 03-05-2005, 02:01 AM

to be honest i dont even know if the anxiety is to do with worry about getting ill its just this is the only place i know of where people are likely to be about. everytime i think of what i have to do over the next few weeksi am a complete wreck

**jptk** · 03-05-2005, 02:06 AM

panicking is an awful feeling i know, no matter what the reason for it.

I know its hard but try not to think too far ahead, just take each day as it comes.

How are you feeling nicki? I agree with jptk, try not to think about the future to much, just take things day by day. I think used to think of the future alot, and have severe anxiety attacks, but I just go day by day, and I try not to worry about what tomorrow will bring, and it works. There is no sense in worrying about the furture, because you don't know what is in store. Just because you have plans, doesn't mean that they will happen, its the future, and you can't predict what will happen, that is why you should not worry about it, cause things can change. I hope you are feelingbetter. Have you been eating properly? Or sleeping lately?

Hey, Nicki, how are you doing now? I hope you are doing better. Panic attacks are awful because it seems that only later do you realize that you weren't going to be sick. One thing that seems to help me is thinking "OK no one is sick as often as I feel sick or have panic attacks" that way its like well non emets dont get sick this often and its all anxiety related 9 times out of 10 for us. Hope you're all better now!

Hi

I am ok now thanks. I have made quite a bit of progress with my uni work today, which has helped immensely as I dont feel that I have too much to do nd am worrying about fitting it in. I went out for dinner last night and it was a weird night. One of my friends self-harms and everyone knows about it and she was telling them what she had done lately. I was sitting there trying really hard not to cry because they have no idea that I do it too. I think maybe thats what started last night off. I was supposed to go out tonight as well but i decided to stay in and try get through some work.

Thanks for your messages
