‼️this is a rant ! Skip if u want ‼️. Today I had the worst panic attack and I called my mom seeking comfort , hoping she would be able to make me feel calm but she just yelled at me that I’m doing it to myself , and honestly it hurt a lot , in that moment I felt like I was dying , in a house all alone . Usually she would hug me and tell me everything would be okay , so I got used to it , she is my comfort person . But now I just feel so guilty about it because she’s always stressed cus of work and she always wants to be alone , and I feel like I’m pushing my problems onto her , and I don’t know what to do cus she’s the only person I feel safe with to go to for my panic attacks that happen every day , and it hurts so bad I wanna die . Life has been a living torture every day and I feel so alone and scared cus now my mother is starting to not care about my problems and just yell at me , I don’t blame her cus I understand she’s tired , I just don’t know who else to go to .

@Emma30567 I'm sorry for not seeing this (but in my timezone this was too late for me to read). I hope you're feeling a bit better :3 For a person who does get heart attacks, the only major issue for me is breathing and overthinking. Start with your breathing. Take deep breaths in then our. In your nose and out your mouth. If your nose is blocked, just use your mouth. Hold your breath in between each inhale and exhale. Once you've controlled your breathing, then you can control your mind. You have to find a comfort point. Something that grounds you, or makes your happy. In my case sometimes, that would be a tree or simply just reading. Take your mind elsewhere. The steps sound simple, but I know they're a lot harder when anxiety kicks in. But the most crucial thing is to check your breathing. Sitting down will stop your dizziness as well. And you have to keep imagining a panic attack like a storm cloud - that you won't be experiencing it forever. It helps me a bit sometimes. Sorry for the serious essay T~T thought I could make it light-hearted but... Yeah there we go You're a lovely person just know that and pm me if you ever need to talk. Ly xx
