how do you guys end your ¿panic? (could be anxiety/depression or something else, I dunno) attacks?
I had a pretty horrible one today
my whole body spasmed if I made any willingful movement
I spent 20 minutes in fetal position just tearing at my skin
I was hyperventilating entire time but I didn't feel dizzy at all
also my stomach and diaphragm would sporadically just tuck in, and despite being completely unable to breather for 20 seconds to 2 minutes I again didn't feel dizzy
I wanted to throw up but since I didn't eat anything since yesterday nothing came out
any similiar experiences? what am I dealing with and what's the solution?

How the hell do people go through life like this? I have never gotten any more nervous than some stomach butterflies or sweating while being shot at in Afghanistan for the first time. It only lasted like 15 seconds and then anger and adrenaline took over and I blew his fucking head off.

>he thinks the most complex organism in the body cant possibly malfunction to the point of causing mental illness.
No wonder you joined the army
I understand it can go haywire. I don't understand how someone would deal with it. I would eat a 12 gauge 00 buck if I was ever that bad off. Surprised O.P. hasn't.
Do rule of 5.
See 5 things
Touch 4 things
Hear 3 things
Smell 2 things
Taste 1 thing.
Once you work your way through this process you will feel much better. If you are still panicking work your way through again.
Example: I see my pc, my desk, my planner, my phone, my office door.
I feel my mouse, my pants, the cold wood on my desk, the smoothness of the top of my shoe.
I hear the hum of the server ext. ext.
Go LARP on Reddit. If you were actually in the service you would know how prevalent mental health issue are.
>see 5 people laughing at me
>touch 4 points on the ground as I fall into fetal position
>hear 3 people say "wtf is wrong with that guy?"
>Smell the shit and the piss in my pants
>Taste my gun barrel as I do what I should have done a long time ago
I can do nothing. I'm a boozer and I am actually going through alcohol withdrawal at this very moment. Heart is going 150bpm easily with no actual rhythm to speak of, episodes of chest pain every few minutes, palpitations so bad that my body gets thrown a bit forward every time they happen. Fucking feels like a heart attack and I'm scared and anxious off my ass.
I don't deal with this, I suffer
I am absolutely terrified approaching people I don't know
I get petrified just by thinking about going to the psychiatrist
the only thing I managed to help me ever so slightly was weed, despite trying xanax weed was pretty decent at cutting those attacks down (sure I'd still have panic attacks on weed about weed but those tend to have a different edge to it; my heartbeat goes to 100, time stops and I feel like my chest is going to explode, cold sweat runs down my forehead,I don't want to die...) unlike attacks in original post where I strictly wish to die as the only thoughts that swarm my head are about me being the most pathethic creature on earth that should've never been born nor live as long as I did
I understand that some people get mental illnesses, shit stain. I don't see how the go on with life if it is that bad. I would an hero.
And after that you should feel better.
Dude. Get some fucking help. Seriously....
go to an actual psychiatrist, I've seen something similar happening to people with schizophrenia when I was hospitalized, not saying you are one, but it's not fucking normal regardless
Susicide is for the weak. Only cowards kill themaselves.
I have a few things op,
Put a song on and sing along, sorts out your breathing,
Open your phone and call someone, anyone, for a chat or to ask a question, anything,
7/11 breathing works well
Good luck with it man, it is beatable.

lexapro
biggest scam on earth
i've done this and it helped. get some help, op. apolozam would probably do wonders.
>I would an hero
dying by suicide is a definition of weakness
i meant this.
How is it fraudulent to get free advice?
I'm beyond help, user
my family shows no support whatsoever, they don't ever care for me unless the painis strictly physical (which is ironic, given that I'm turbo tolerant towards that sort of pain)
mother found me while I was having an attact and told.me in my face that I'm a lying actor trying to grab attention (the whole nature of the attack makes it seem like a poorly performed epileptic seizure, please mind that I am in no control during one and can only egzert my will towards postponing it (so that it doesn't happen in center of public, where everyone would judge me and build up even more on me feeling horrible)
I tried going to psychiatrist but as I said it's simply not something I can do
you are the only guys I can freely talk to, I speak to absolutely no one on college (sans two former collegues that I know from earlier), I matched with one or two chicks on tinder but I can't even open chat
this is something that could've been helped when I was pleading and begging them to help me when I was 12
now it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too late
such a broken husk of a man
I can't take it much longer man, this is some really painful stuff todeal with completely alone
songs are the worst thing when I'm at it
makes me hate the song and the my sensitivity to noise skyrockets
anything but pure virgin silence will agitate me even more until I start tearing my skin at the neck or start pulling out my hair
I'm stupid, I forgot to answer the rest
>call someone
no, I can't even bear to think about calling someone in an innappropriate time, let alone someone I don't often talk to, especially since nobody except you guys recognise my issue as even remotely real and not just in my head as they kept lying about me for nearly a decade now (or is it more than a decade since it forst started?)
I tried xanax five or six times already
helps me go to sleep at 10 pm but that's as far as it goes, I dunno how people get addicted to it
so far it helped with 0/3 cases when I took it for my issue
it was six times
it was six times
I dunno, I had a nervous breakdown and a burnout this February accompanied by antidepressants, weed, forced holidays from work and seeing a therapist.
Call me a liar but I managed to get over it by getting over it: I bought clothes for a new clothing style, got a different haircut, accessories and tried my very best to be in a VERY GOOD mood no matter what.
One evening I packed my whole confidence and hit on a girl who rejected me but didn't give up.
I quit my therapist after the second visit, laid off weed and all other drugs for a month and gradually got better by April.
I still have some scenarios in which I can't really sleep due to overworrying but they vanish after a couple of hours.
yeah but what is the nature of your attacks
have in mind I have no idea what I'm dealing with and I'm trying to use anons with similiar problems with diagnosed cases as proxies so that I had a better under... this thread was a mistake
say, can cheese wire really handle the weight of 70 kilos?
sounds like anxiety/panic disorder. i have the same. you know how i solved it? seeing a professional and taking meds. maybe you don't want to do that but it's your best option.
