For me, a safe place is my bed with a light on that is not too bright. The idea is to face the anxieties and give them a name. They shrink when you look them in the eye and give them a name. <br />Racing Heart<br />Palpitations <br />Difficulty Breathing<br />Knots in Stomach<br />Fear of Dying<br />Feeling Suffocated<br />Feeling Doomed<br /><br />Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853066258316716841.post-84057577523887289462017-07-11T11:22:17.571-07:002017-07-11T11:22:17.571-07:00Can you try something for me?

Usually with panic attacks I just sort of let them carry me along. I am hyper aware the symptoms but try to not pay attention to them. Try paying attention in detail to how you heart feels. Pay close attention to what your breath is doing. What is exactly happening with your thoughts? What physical symptoms is your body experiencing?<br />There is a new thought about panic attacks. It's being super Mindful of what is happening to your body and mind. Look at each thing going on with curiosity and loving compassion with your self. Don't try to change anything. Don't try to breathe in a calm way. Don't try to relax. Just observe. Don't judge yourself. It might not help right away, it may take a few attacks but I have found it helps me a little.
