Panic Attacks
Hey guys, I'm new to this app, and am very glad to have joined your community. Within the past 3 months I've been having issues with panic attacks when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Conflict, especially with my girlfriend, seems to make me break down and panic instead of being rational and just talking. When I settle down I can see how pointless breaking down is and making a big deal out of something that could have been a minor conflict. However in the moment it feels like my brain is just saying panic. If anyone has any tips on dealing with this I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks so much in advance and I'm really glad to be apart of this community!
@jarred19 Ah I relate so much about the part of panicing and then realizing the actual moment wasn't so bad as our minds made it out to be. Well I think you already made a big first step in realizing this since being mindful that our feelings and thoughts can be irrational sometimes allows us to bring an outside perspective...
for me, it helps to be in nature as I enjoy looking at the sky, maybe for you it's music, writing, sleeping, etc but it helps to refocus our minds but to also be pateint with ourselves if we fail because honestly, I have so many times haha:)
But all the best and welcome to the community!
