Managing Panic Attacks: What to Do When Everything Goes to Hell

This is a textbook panic attack, stressor, trigger and reaction. As with every condition, you'll have to work with yourself and the people around you to reduce how often you get attacks and how to make them gentler when they happen

I’m so glad your mom was able to ground you and help you out like that! My mom is definitely still learning but she’s getting better at it. As for your dad I think he really needs parenting lessons or something! That made the most sense to me and I completely understand what your going through. Idk if there’s a word for it but Ik I also get that way sometimes. Honestly I think it has to do with childhood trauma but don’t quote me on that one. I forgot what else I was going to say so if I remember I’ll put it in a different comment or message you directly 😬😂🤷🏽‍♀️

you don’t have to apologize for anything! i’ve been dealing with anxiety my whole life but just recently got put on medication. I’m not sure how to explain what you’re going through but i’ll say what i’ve been through. So i’m pretty sure i have a fear of throwing up, and when i feel dizzy or even get a small feeling of throwing up my whole body goes into panic mode and i have a full on panic attack and eventually end up throwing up. How i deal with it now is that i try to keep my breathing calm and focus on something else then the current situation. I call a friend or try reading. It’s gotten a lot better cause i’ve been to therapy and i’m on medication. If that situation ever happens again, try to go to the bathroom and splash water on your face and if that doesn’t work then tell your parents, or even a friend, your having a panic attack and hopefully they will comfort you.
