Do you guys think panic attacks are…wimpy? My mom does. Actually, I just had one a moment ago. She says she doesn’t want tantrums at her house. I can’t help it though. I’ll start hyperventilating, and suddenly I start screaming my head off. I’m so stressed I can’t take it anymore! These attacks just come and go. Anything can trigger them. Every time I have one, I just feel so weak and worthless. But this time I almost got my razor out. I don’t even have anything to be depressed about. I have no right to be depressed!

Panic attacks don’t make you weak at all. They can happen to anyone. You’re not worthless, you’re strong if you make it through them. You should feel more powerful than the attacks. Don’t let them ruin you.
I’ve had panic attacks before, I had them for a year and I managed to overcome them. Anic attacks are basically the fight or flight reaction our brain gets when we think that were never attack. Stress can trigger this and make you panic or have an anxiety attack. What you do, though, is you close your eyes, count down from ten, slowly of course, and think of the panic going away, with each second, the panic is going away. By the time you get to 5, the panic is halfway gone. By the time you hit 1, it’s almost gone, and when you get to 0, your panic has faded away and disappeared. You’ll. be left with a relieved feeling, like a feeling as if something has been lifted from your shoulders. I also find that drinking tea or milk helps as well. It tends to calm you down. Also, this might sound silly, but DARE the panic to attack you. Dare it, challenge it. It will be like a beast and back down, because the panic, if it were to be a beast, it would be intimidating, but once you challenge it, it will back down. Don’t be afraid of the panic. Over come it. Just tell it to BRING IT ON. These things are challenging to overcome, but once you do, it’s a very nice feat.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate it 🙂
And thanks for the tips TheLostandAlone, I’m glad to hear you overcame this 🙂
No, panic attacks don’t make you wimpy. I have them sometimes. Everyone usually has. But do you think you need to see a doctor? I’m not saying your mentally ill but the more help the merrier. 🙂 But each time you feel it coming, close your eyes and think of something nice. Think of happy memories and thoughts. Breathe deeply and slowly. Walk yourself to an isolated place where it is not noisy and crowded. Relax yourself. You can stop these attacks so they don’t take over you. But when they do happen and you did all this but couldn’t stop it, it’s fine. You did what you could but at least next time, you know what to do and to try harder. And also when they’re over, you should NEVER feel worthless. You should go and do something that makes you happy and you enjoy. Maybe watch your favorite movie or hang out with friends. Don’t feel sad about it and don’t focus on it. Think of other things. I really hope I helped! Always remember to stay strong and hold on hope! 🙂
Thanks, entwined-heartss 🙂 Actually, I talked with the school counselor today and she said that if I go to therapy, she will help me with my schedule so I don’t miss school.
