I’ve been suffering near daily panic attacks since Friday and I am so drained. I thought I was having a heart attack, and in a lot of ways I still do, but I just want to feel normal again. I can’t even eat without freaking myself

I have panic attacks! Not so bad now, but a couple of dicey ones during the Covid years. I got medication, which I weened off of with doctor advice, but it helped greatly when I needed it most.

Really, just knowing what they are has helped, knowing the symptoms to talk yourself down.

It's better to be able to say, "Okay. I've been through this before. It could be a panic attack" than to have it be a mystery, even if it takes time to recover and come out of it. Having someone you can talk to, message or call to communicate your feelings to in those moments also really helps.

While I was waiting for meds and first reeling from heavy anxiety though, just staying cozy, watching and reading things I could be absorbed in helped get me through.

I’ve definitely found that helped. I’ve felt my best while I’ve been chipping away with work and playing video games with friends. I’m hoping that whatever is lingering goes away soon 🫠

I usually try reading and listening to music that calms me

I ended up reading Void Rivals the first night it happened, it definitely helped. Still trying to find the right playlist lol

That sucks man! I’ve only ever had one but it was awful. I found that playing video games and relaxing helped me wind down after it passed. Hope you get some relief!

Thank you! I’ve been jamming on Marvel Rivals which has definitely helped.
