Welcome Tracey1984,

How did you manage to get through the other day? How are you feeling today?

Hi Tracy,

Welcome. have you tried clenching your fist really tight and holding for 5 seconds then releasing quickly? Then your shoulders for 5 seconds and quick release.

It works for me sometimes when I'm in the grocery store and I start feeling anxiety/panic coming on.

Hi Heather,

I have been trying distraction and breathing as much as my job will allow - but am looking forward to being able to go home.  I think I really just needed some contact to remind me I am not alone in what I am going through and a little re-assurance it will get better.  It can be hard to remember those things when your body and mind are so stressed :(

Hi Guys,

I am not sure of the standard format for these forums but am new to the panic centre. I am working my way through all of the steps but am having a particularly rough day today - have been in a state of anxiety for the last 7 hours - not acute but teetering on the edge of an attack and no matter what I try I can't shake it.

Can someone give me any suggestions or lend an ear to talk for a few minutes?
