First of all i just want to tell you, you are not alone. I'm trying to find ways to help myself. I just started this this journal-- and i go back to read the reason i believe i get panick attacks. After i write stuff,,,i go back to read. And i realize theres bigger problems in the world than to try to keep being worried about something in the past.

When you get an attack: everybody has different kind.

Stand up
read something (i personaly read about GOd), read about the universe (super interesting), other cultures, Always keep a book nearby.

if at work - do paperwork

if at home - Its always good to have a PET (i have two ferrets, they make me laugh)

in public - Do Not Leave Store! (keep in mind babysteps) Do Not LeAVE store. Go look at items and read the back labels. BABYSTEPS

if you get scared just being alone - watch TV
,
i'M learning a third language (japanese) it keeps me from thinking i'm going to get a panick attack


Just keep in mind you are a HEALTHY PERSON, Nothing is Wrong With US, WE will survive this stagein our lives. I'm only 23 yrs old, i worry to much, so i need to stay strong bec. i got my partner who worries about me,,,i sure dont want him to start getting panick attacks or leave me.
When u get a panick attack Do Not talk to urself for a long time,,,just tell urself "im good" a couple of times,,,,then try to stay occupied.


Bye johnyboy
I'll pray for you
