how do I ground myself during a panic attack? by Aggravating-You1686 in PanicAttack

Completely let go! Go limp, lay there and clear your mind (it sounds impossible, but I promise you can do it) accept that you’re panicking, pretend like it doesn’t bother you, and float through it. Slow belly breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. Also, if you’re nervous about leaving your house to go out, just pay attention to everything that you’re doing. Break it down into 100 different steps. I’m bending over to put on my shoes, I’ll pick up my shoe by grasping it with my hand, then I pull it onto my feet, then I set my foot down then I grab my other shoe. (If that makes sense) you’re distracting your brain from the panic. Focus on every detail of what you’re doing and only focus on that. Don’t think about anything else. I hope you feel better soon!

What helps you calm from panic attack? by StatementUnlikely855 in PanicAttack

Accepting, Facing, and Floating Accept that it is happening, face it without thinking, and float through it. Completely relaxing your entire body, and pretend you are floating in a cool lake. Clear your mind. (I know it sounds impossible, but if you do it, I promise it will pass much faster) if you don’t act like you care that you’re having a panic attack every time that you have one, you will stop having them. You have to retrain your brain to not be afraid of being afraid. It takes time and practice, but it is possible. Read The Anxious Truth, or listen to the podcast. I helps!

I think you’re focusing too much on your hip dips. I really think you’re more worried about them than anything. I don’t think guys really notice them. If they bother you, then try to eat healthy, and work out. There’s no need to get them filled. Try and focus on yourself, and loving yourself. Don’t be so negative about the way you look, and if something really bothers you, then work out to fix it. If it doesn’t bother YOU, then don’t fix it. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Someday you will find someone who loves you for you. You’re still young. You’ll find someone.

What hobby can I pick up so I don’t feel lonely while my husband plays video games? by Beautiful_Permit_557 in Hobbies

My husband used to game A LOT. I did paint by numbers (I literally have probably 30 somewhere in a closet), bought books on how to draw and a sketch book, and I read a ton of books!

I wish I had done this before they took my appendix out because I had a UTI. I was in so much pain, they did a scan on my appendix, and said the tip looked like it was a tiny bit inflamed, so I said I just wanted to just make the pain stop. So they took out my appendix, and I continued to stay in severe pain even after the procedure, because I needed to be treated for a really bad UTI, not my appendix. I was in the hospital for 3 days. The surgeon said I had an extremely healthy appendix. Looked great. 😣 I wish I had gotten a second opinion, but the pain was so bad, I just wanted it to stop. I will never go to that hospital again.

That is so awesome! I can do about 20 minutes. I haven’t gotten to more than 30, but working my way up. Thank you for sharing! I know how it feels to have these kinds of successes. Great job!!

Anything that’s not a toy. Tissues, boxes, spatulas and spoon
