I have only recently been suffering from bad anxiety but I have had panic attacks for over 3 years now.
I wasn't sure if I should post this or not but I think it would be good for myself and if I can help anyone in anyway.
I find it hard to sit down and tell people everything I never know what to say or how to say it. I have had a lot of support of my friends and family and I would be lost without them, the one thing that has really helped is knowing there is people who care for me and will do anything to help me. But a way I have found to express my feelings is through drawing. The nurse suggested to me to write down my feelings but I am not the sort of person to sit down and just write how I am feeling that very moment, so I express my feelings through drawing to show how I am feeling.
The problem is I over think things and get stressed and that when I have a panic attack.
People suffer from panic attacks and people have anxiety it doesn't make them different.
In everyone's lifetime you will suffer from a bit of anxiety even if it is a lot or hardly any but everyone does and it is totally normal.
But the people who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks you need to relax it. People can tell you what to do but only you can do it. I find it is something I need to face alone and no one can help me when I know there is people who would love to help me but I just need to do it alone.
School always makes me feel more stressed the work gets harder and I get more and more homework. That doesn't help at all but now the GCSE's are getting harder and now you only have one chance makes me feel so stressed you life depends on those results and those hours will be the most important hours of my life. I just want to succeed in life and make a differents and to help people.
5 Ways to relax:
1. Take a warm bath sit there and breathe slowly and get everything out of your mind.
2. Try yoga its great for your breathing there is many classes or you can easily find a video and try it in the comfort of your own home.
3. Read a book and light a few candles forget everything and you will easily calm down.
4. Practise your breathing it might sound stupid but sitting down and just breathe in and out slowly so if you ever get a panic attack you already know what to do.
5. If you are having a panic attack breathe in for 7 seconds and breathe out for 11 your brain is focusing on that you will start normally again.
I know this is all over the place and some people might not understand but just expressing my feelings on here has helped me I just hope I can help at least one person then I will be happy.
