Hiya Gabs, Boy can I relate to you. I hate going on over night stuff. It can get better tho. The program here is really helpful. Panic attacks are not always easy to deal with but they can be dealt with. Hang in there this too shall pass. Welcome to the forums! -Diva

Gabs, Everything you are describing is the physical sensations of a panic attack. Learn what is triggering these and challenge those thoughts. You have to break the thought process and convince yourself that this is just a panic attack and the physical symptomes will fade away. Focus on your breating, place a hand on your stomach, inhale through your nose and exale through your mouth. This should help to calm you down a little bit. Keep working through the program, session 3 and 4 will help you work through these attacks. Brenna, Bilingual Support Specialist

Hi, i have been directed here from the depression site which i am working on. I am having a big attack now, I never realised that panic could make you have very ill. I thought I was Ill. i feel very faint and dizzy, I am not imagining this. its real, I cant drive, it wouldnt be safe, I cant even stand properley. My breathing is shallow and I keep feeling sick. Its all to do with going away for 2 nights with friends. I am supposed to be looking forward to this. It was designed to help my depression. I feel so bad. I need to pack clothes etc but just cant do it. I am alone and very scared. Why is this happening? Its happened before but I didnt realise it was panic. I just thought i was sick. help. x
