TakeMeAway

I've had 3 so far in my life time. I sometimes feel them coming on, there so horrible!

I read someones post about counting back from 100, it works!

I had a attack last week, I was in bed trying to get to sleep. All of a suden my brain told me someone was out side my door waiting to kill me?

I hate it, scary. I feel like I have more then depression when these thoughts go through my mind. I like I have schizophreniaor something.

The best way I've found to combat them is tapping out a short, repetitive and complicated rhythm with your fingers. Just to keep your mind occupied with something else whilst it processes the attack. Not sure if this works for anyone else or not.

Be safe

anxiety attacks blows... I hate when you start hyperventilating and then pass out to wake up where ever you passed out later...

nothing helped with my anxiety, but my anti-depressant I was on was making my anxiety a whole lot worse then it normally is.

Now, being off my meds, when I get anxious, I try to do some transcendental meditation. Put your mind in a better place like thinking about a past sexual encounter, a special loved one, a favorite memory (funny ones help me). I specifically close my eyes, try to slow down my breathing, then focus on one of my funniest memories. I try to remember all the details... I find the more detailed you can be in your imagination of the memory, the better it works. Then before you know it, your living a great memory and the anxiety goes down.

Good luck! Anxiety sucks... Stay strong

My anxiety attacks happen so often, I don't know what I can do about them, I usually have one every couple nights or so when I'm trying to sleep. I start thinking, then my mind start wandering and I start hyperventilating and I just explode. I don't know what I can do.
