Dealing with Anxiety Attacks and Crying Outbursts

Very much

😥

Yes. I have an attack start to come on and it can lead to a panic attack sometimes buy my medicine has helped. But normally after I have the anxiety attack I cry.

I have a lot of anxiety. It gets to the point I can't breathe. All I can do is to breathe through it. Than when it finally goes away all I can do is cry. So you are not alone. My doctor saw that and now take lorazapam when I have an attack.

I often cry when I get a panic attack. When this happens I call my younger brother who is my greatest cheerleader. After speaking with him about what I’m going through helps decrease the intensity of the attack. I think the crying also often helps because I’m letting out emotions that I was taught to bottle up.

Yes, not when i was younger so much because i was taught not to make a fuss and not to cry. But then i would pent it up and be freaking out and start screaming at everyone around me.

Yep, definitely.

I have rarely showed emotion or cried until I started therapy. Before therapy I only cried when I was angry. Anger was the only felling I was aware of. Since I started therapy, I am learning about my feelings and emotions I didn’t know I had. I hate when I cry. I don’t know what to do when I have feelings and I don’t like that. My panic attacks make it hard to communicate. I can’t tolerate anything and lash out. I am working really hard this. I think panic brings an overload of feelings. I think we have to learn to say yep I am having a lot feelings and emotions. Acknowledge the feelings and emotions and then say okay I felt that and then say goodbye. Write it down and throw it away. I hope you find your way to get through the feelings, the emotions, and panic. My new thing is sorting m&ms by color and lining them up by color.
