That was quick

Staving off Panic Attacks and High Anxiety with everything I have.  I have a meeting in an hour and I'm afraid I might explode...could be interesting.  Send me some good vibrations to help get me thru this.

hey bud, this happened to me the other night.  i was with my friend who talked me through some breathing exercises..

if you can, go into the john and do some deep breathing.  count to 5 when you breath in, then 5 on the way out (slooow....) then 6, then 7, then 8.. up to 10.  slow slow slow.

see if it helps.  do it a few times if you have to... it helped me tremendously...

I'm gonna pull through!!  Even was able to write a specification today.  I went and put in a tough workout at lunch and that helped BIG TIME.  There is no way around it - I've always been this way - even when i didn't use...I need to exercise for my mental health.  I'm happier, more productive and generally much when I workout on a regular basis.

Way to go! You have way more strength than you're giving yourself credit for.
You can do this.

I have found working out  helps me also. I've been 2/2 this week!!!
I feel all achey (achy) in the morning, but once i workout the  endorphins kick in and get me going and the pain goes away!

I'm glad your day has turned around!!!

Big wheel turn by the grace of God,
Every time that wheel turn 'round,
Bound to cover just a little more ground."

i have also had this all my life....it is a terrible feeling..unfourtunitly i have to take a nerve pill when it gets really bad...But before i do that, meaning taking a pill which is only about 3 times a month...I do some breathing excersises...not the paper bag..lol
I inhale for a long 10 seconds then exhale for a long 10 seconds, i repeat it about 10 times...But very slowly, and think of a calming place....It really works..
wishing you luck

You sound so much better, great choice to go workout!  I think I will follow your example and take short (but freezing) walk outside, clear the head...

[StaggerLee]

I think this should be my anthem (Great Song by the way):

Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

Feeling better.  Work is winding up and I get to go home and see my wife and daughter very soon!
