Just Woke Up

[queenofmean]

Having a panic attack.

I'm trying desperately to get back to sleep but I can't stop the shaking. I'm shattered. I've tried to have my usual pep talk but not working tonight

[bunkmoreland]

Hi babes, we're all here,start to breathe from your bottom stomach x

[queenofmean]

I'm doing my best, but deep breathing is quite sore at the moment, but I am trying xx

[bunkmoreland]

why's it sore? Sorry,I'm maybe not up to date!

If it was me, QoM, I'd be reaching for a bottle of something (that definitely doesn't come from any pharmacy!)!

I hope that you're feeling better soon.

Thanx so much chico for that. i would also add, for me sometimes, (as suggested) the first two fingers tapping on the opposite wrist pulse,is calming a little bit.

Breathe in through nose (4 sec) hold breath (7sec) breathe out through mouth (8sec).
Slows the heart rate and helps with sleep, try it a few times if necessary, it's supposed to be quite effective. Works for me.

I hope you're sound asleep now, taken " things" easy today,pop in later if you have time.
