Struggling

[Mattypompy]

Hi Matt, has the panic attack passed? One thing that really helped me (apart from the grounding exercise Suzi just explained to you) is to remember that your body cannot sustain a panic attack any longer than 20-25 minutes so it WILL end. I know that seems a long time to be feeling like this, but youÂ’re not in any danger and itÂ’s temporary

Hi Paula,

Good to see you again. I hope you're well.

Yes it's passed, thanks. I took a cocodamol and I think the codeine worked. Just exhausted now and low.

Was very scary though due to the asthma issue. I was almost gasping for air. I was hyperventilating.

Thanks Paula for the ever so kind words of encouragement. You're both stars.

I'll drop an update later after seeing the Dr. I have a long history of depression and anxiety and 3 events occurred within about 4 days. Two relationship conflicts and a finance one. It was too much to cognitively and emotionally process all at once.

Thank you once more.

I'm glad that GP is calling love. Be honest and tell them what's going on.

Can you rest and be kind to you this afternoon? In my house we call it an "anxiety hangover" you need to rest...

Good phrase that one. Yes I'll be honest. I actually think I need a short course of benzos to get me through this hump. I did suggest that but they gave me the beta blockers.

Thanks hun. Xx

I'll rest up. It was incredible how weak I felt. Think I was pretty deoxygenated. I did a body scan mindfulness meditation.
