About kittenlover2000
I'll answer question on pretty much anything, though as I'm studying psychology and from past experience, I'm best at answering questions about love life, mental illness as well as giving career advice or job advice. I am also really into fashion and love these types of questions!. Oh and any pet help...
I have an average rating of 4.5 on here. Only inbox me questions that are short please and not about death/suicide. Honestly, there's nothing more dull that opening your inbox to 'I want to die'.
Anyway, ask away and I'll try to help out :)

I've been having anxiety/panic attacks lately and I hate it... How can I get rid of it? I heard that you can make it go away from getting your mind off of it, but I can't think of anything to do.
I've tried breathing slowly and it's not working. Please help as soon as you can, please. Thank you.
Breathe into a paper bag.
Its horrible, I know-I have had one. You need to remind yourself that panic attacks do not last forever.
This is what is going to help it to go away. Tell yourself this: panic attacks are there to keep me safe. It may feel like I am dying, or that I am in danger, but actually, nothing is going to happen.
When you breathe, you need to concerntrate on the breathing OUT. Breathe in abit (not to hyperventilate) but breathe out in a BIG SIGH for even longer than that. Repeat as many times as you like.
When your panic attack is over, try to meditate using 'mindfulness'. This is something we all need to do everyday-relax, else it can manifest itself as you and I have found.
But the main thing to remember is to go with the flow. All what has happened is the adrenaline has rushed to your head. You can regain control of the situation by telling yourself that it is a perfectly natural and normal human response, and that although you feel disgusting now, it will be over soon-they only tend to last for 20 mins max.
Lie down when you're having one/feel that dizzy feeling when you're about to have one. If you're with someone, tell them before it gets bad 'panick attack'.
For people who have never seen anyone have a panick attack before, they'll be like all panicky and worried themself. This is the last thing you need.
Get a cold flannel round your forhead if you're hot, get as much ventilation in the room as posssible, and close your eye,focusing on your breathing.
Breathe in calm and out smoke clouds. Look up the buzzing bees of worry analagy next time you're having one.
Sorry this advice was so long, but I know EXACTLY how you feel. You end up being fearful of the places that caused your panic attack right?
Need any more help inbox me :)
