Panic attacks
I am having a panic attack as I type this. I’m in a place where I can not get out of a triggering situation.
there are people all around, and loud music, (I’m in band class, in a temperary classroom, which is a really small room.)
how do I deal with this. I can’t breathe, I want to run, and really just want to curl up in a corner and cry
@Princetomyanxiety well sometimes finding copying mechanisms, something that will make you feel at easy, which will work for you . A few examples could be a picture of a love one, a pet. other alternative could be breathing exercises. It feels like maybe it could be a big anxiety too. Maybe going outside of the room for a bit and going for a bit of fresh air. Alternatively if there is someone from there who you trust a lot who can help you to relax, and be more grounded. If you feel like there is someone you can trust, someone who can help you in this difficult moments. So i think planning ahead for this kind of occasions is very important.
lots of hugs and stay safe
