I think I'm having slight anxiety attacks. I dunno maybe I'm being silly. Anyone else had them? I couldn't sleep last night. Couldn't shut down/ stop worrying. Kept thinking my breathing was strange. This morning I still felt weird but when I'm busy I don't notice it. When I was doing breakfast & couple activities with the kids was ok. I've had anxiety feelings before but never an attack. Struggling to get out of it 😏😒 We're currently isolating at home & I am generally worried about everything atm.

I think anxiety attacks present differently for everyone so it very well could be. I can't even describe how they feel to me and especially when panic kicks in with them. Distraction is a good way to prevent an attack but at the same time you can't distract yourself all day because when you do lay down at the end of the day that's when it will creep up on you.

Netflix have something called headspace, might be worth watching as it could give you some techniques to use to control your breathing and things like that.

Also talking about your worries and anxieties can help, a problem shared is a problem halved "they say".

For me when I feel anxious, slowly breathe in and out and keep telling yourself "I'm in control of myself and I am ok"over and over. Also if you feel panicky I find using all of my senses and tuning in helps, sounds fucking ridiculous but listen to a certain noise you can here like the clock ticking, drink a glass of water and focus on how it tastes, focus on your feet on the floor how the carpet feels for example but this can stop the panic over taking as you are focusing on yourself in other ways.

Thank you. I will check out the Netflix thing when I attempt to go to bed later. I've tried distracting myself today & I'm fine then. Its the quiet moments when I'm trying to relax (like bedtime) then thats the last thing I can do! I will try a few of those techniques see if they can help snap me out of it x
