[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a panic attack once and it was overwhelming, physically and emotionally, just like you are describing. First of all, please know that panic attacks are a way the body copes with extreme stress. They won't hurt you, you can get through it. When I had one, I called a friend who has chronic anxiety and (well, I think just talking to her helped a lot), but also she suggested doing some very familiar comfort things. Forget trying to sleep and thinking about how tired you'll be tomorrow, just watch Gilmore Girls on Netflix. Have a go-to comfort show if this happens again. For me, I was in the hospital at the time, also not sleeping, and I did have to call my husband to come in in the middle of the night, which was complicated because we have kids. But his presence had an instant calming effect on me. Think of whatever will calm you and seek it out. But as for preventing this: Please ask for help. It is the best thing you can do and doctors can help you in this situation.[/quote]
