-- Posted by panagma at 1:32 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 How can you stop getting them?? I get them when i feel empty, upset and sometimes i don't know why i just get them.. -- Posted by Smargon at 1:35 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I used to get them a lot.. it's all about recognising when one's coming on and taking some deep breaths, sitting down, and calming yourself down. Believe it or not, you CAN control them. Just think, 'wtf, I can stop this' Or if you're mid-panic attack, distracting yourself always helps. Look at stuff around the room, do some maths, just think about something else instead of freaking out. -- Posted by Tauras1991 at 1:35 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I get horrible panic attacks, they put me on medications, but they just knocked me out, so I learned some breathing exercises -- Posted by Smargon at 1:40 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Quote: from Smargon at 9:35 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I used to get them a lot.. it's all about recognising when one's coming on and taking some deep breaths, sitting down, and calming yourself down.

Are there any underlying issues that's troubling you? If there are, sort them out, the panic attacks should start to subside then. -- Posted by panagma at 1:40 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Thanks.. the hard thing is that they come on all of a sudden -- Posted by EvitaErcton at 1:42 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I'm sorry. :( Water tends to, at least, delay mine until a more convenient and less embarrassing time. -- Posted by panagma at 1:49 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 There is some goin on underneath cuz in the last few weeks i just started to cry randomly as in i'd have to leave the sitting room where all my housemates would be and just go to my room and cry my eyes out.. I don't know really what it is though thats causing them.. I'm sure i'll find out.. -- Posted by Smargon at 1:50 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Quote: from panagma at 9:40 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Thanks.. the hard thing is that they come on all of a sudden Yeah, they can do. Is there something else in your life that you're finding stressful?
