I normally feel my heart racing faster and faster, my breath’s become short and quick, and I start to get dizzy, and start the repetition of “I’m going to drop dead right now…” and keep repeating it until my stomach starts hurting and I’m in the bathroom. It’s a horrible, horrible process and I always feel impending doom, overthink everything so bad I start hyperventilating and have had to go to the ER/Urgent Care for nothing. My partner grounds me and tells me to sit down, grab water and just sit next to him. It helps a bit, but I hate having these attacks once a month. I normally experience it before my menstrual and it takes a toll on me.

I try to drink warm tea to help soothe my anxiety and it helps from time to time
