I Hate Having Anxiety Attacks

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbus, MS

I have anxiety attacks some times where I feel like I’m dying.. my heart rate rises, I’m afraid to go to sleep, I get clammy and everything around me felt like it was going wayy too fast, while I was going slow

Tightening the chest that when relieved, scatters like debris. Heart pulsating insightfully thinking of failure

Allison6, anxiety is a big problem for many people. Often it is your brain exaggerating things that are on your mind. Maybe you got a bad grade on an exam at school. People without anxiety can tell themselves “ well I wasted too much study time watching TV. I know I can get a better grade on the next exam” and then they go on with their life. A person with anxiety can’t let go of the thought that they got a bad grade, and then their anxiety takes over and tells them they will never get good grades, they will fail at school and not be able to go to College, so they will never be successful or get a good job. Our minds can trick us into believing things like this. If there is anywhere near you where you can take a “Mindfulness” course it can teach you how to stop your anxiety from getting started. If there is no course near you, there are many good books on Mindfulness in the library and you can teach yourself. It helped me a lot

I used to get them, and yes they are scary. The first time I had one, thought I was having a heart attack!
Hugs and prayers 🙏 ❤️
