Even though things have been on the rough side of the anxiety line for me of late i am pleased with myself for managing the panic attack which started about a week and a half ago.
I had,had a really busy day and also a lot of stress the previous week.Anyway my brother,partner and i were just sitting having a chat late in the evening.Not really sure how it started but i know i felt cold and a bit shaky,i tried to put it down to tiredness.I then began to feel prickly and was like ok you're not breathing properly,i tried to put it right but couldnt.I didnt mention a thing to my family and decided to go have a bath.By the time i got to the bath room i was so dizzy,weak and lightheaded i felt i would fall.I didnt sit down and tried to carry on with running the bath.I felt as if i couldnt breathe through my nose while brushing my teeth and almost choked.It was as if i had totally forgotten how to breathe through my nose actually.The major trigger was when i looked in the mirror and above my top lip looked totally blue.I felt the rush of adrenalin straight through me and freaked out for a split second.I got away from the mirror and told myself to stop it! I got a paper bag and used it to help calm my breaths for about 5 mins.The feeling subsided and i went and had a lovely bath.It was horrible and i was scared but i didnt tell anyone and dealt with it on my own which i am proud of.
This showed me that the thoughts i was having at the time were rubbish,i controlled it,i stopped it.
