Floor licking intensifies

Tip to help with an anxiety
attack
Look around you.
Find 5 things you can see, at things you can
touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can
smell and 1 thing you can taste.
This is called grounding. It can help when you
feel like you have lost all control of your
surroundings.
Please reblog, it could really help someone in
need.

I have panic attacks once in awhile, who the hell calls the amber lamps? Also, who takes that long to come out of it? Maybe there are more severe cases but I just take deep and slow breathes, it takes no longer than a couple minutes to snap out of it.
It's also "fight or flight", don't know if it was just a typo or what.

I've had a good few in my life, and on the first really bad one my hand/arms went numb up to the elbow and barely had a clue was going on i had a few before this, but was still fairly unfamiliar with them , you bet your ass i called 911 was making a long drive back from a friends house and it built up over the course of the 30+ minute drive thankfully i had enough knowledge to tell the operator i thought it was a panic attack, and i had called them just in case which just led to them staying on the line until it passed. I have since heard of many people that wound up in the ER due to a panic attack and some that are susceptible have even had seizures. At higher extremes it can lead your body to do some pretty crazy things. Thankfully its been a good few years, but i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I would much rather be afraid of something that i can actually see than my own mind's ******* . Sorry if the book i just wrote you seems abrasive, Its 6 am here and i feel it is time for my drunk ass to go to bed which would also explain the typo

I'm no doctor, but I'm not sure your situation qualifies as a panic attack. Maybe an episode of high anxiety. Panic attacks are never that mild and can be very, very severe. Like, by the time you regain consciousness, you realize you've been on the floor, holding your head and screaming kind of severe. True panic attacks are characterized by 20-25 minute episodes.

You may be right, I don't know, I looked up the symptoms and I had quite a few but a few times it happened out of nowhere. So there was nothing to be anxious about.

Its called the fight or flight response. Your body gets going to do just that, fight or run away. Under normal conditions it just happens when your actually in trouble. if you have a panic disorder it just happends and sometimes doesn't stop.

Take it from someone diagnosed with panic disorder and on meds for it, they can last A LOT ******* longer than a few minutes. And they can easily roll one into another for weeks on end, and happen when you're asleep.

It smells like everything else, nothing. Like when driving down the road and there's a skunk near by, my boyfriend will roll up the windows, pull his shirt over his nose, and complain about the smell but I don't even notice it because I can't smell. I just sit there like nothings wrong.

I was about to ask how do you have favorite foods if you cant taste. then i remembered this is about smell.

how do you judge damaged food? like milk starting to go bad? you taste? theres so many questions. dont even bother paying attention to what i say lol

User avatar #64 to #57 - baconator (07/23/2015) [-]
With milk I always end up drinking it before it expires. Food I always only eat it fresh, never reheated(personal preference, I think the taste weakens when chilled then reheated).

Smell does have a bit to do with taste I've heard. I can't really tell you if it does with me because I was born this way so I don't know any different. I will say I have to use a lot more salt than most people before I can taste it on food. I'm always getting yelled at at family things by my mom for it.

I had a polyp once...I've learned it while after huge infection and nose stuffed badly for 2 weeks, in the morning while I blew it something blocked it...from inside. I blew really hard and could not blow it out but finally blew out something that looked like an aborted fetus about 2cm long and some blood. After the most disgusting google search I've found out it was in fact a polyp. I suspected having one due to reguar sinus pain but never got around fixing this. As it turns out sometimes they can break off on their own.

Fun fact: every time I drank beer my sinus/nasal cavity or whatever hurt really badly for a long time. So I basically gave up alcohol. I ate tons of sinus pain meds regurally (like 4 to 8 times a month). Now I'm pain free. Not once since the incident it hurt. I can finally get completely ********* again. Yay!

That's a lot of unnecessary. Stand there and pick your foot up, put it down with force. Doesn't have to be a stomp, but it should at LEAST make a notable sound. It's about exposing yourself to outer stimuli in order to cement your place in reality. The method is very much valid, and it's great that you posted this Sewallman. The number of stimuli isn't a set amount, it varies from person to person and as a matter of fact, OVERSTIMULATION can exacerbate an anxiety attack. The most important thing to remember is to remind yourself that it is YOUR glorious mind, YOUR wonderful body and YOUR beautiful personality. YOU are in control and, most importantly, you're going to be alright. If you ever feel like somebody doesn't care about you, imagine me ready to backhand you for forgetting that I ALWAYS believe in you

due to being so sick for 4 years, that i have barely left the house in that time.
i was struck by illness, my psyche was fine, but 4 years of barely talking to anyone but close family, has made me develop anxiety.

for me it starts with sudden burst of energy, then I get a feeling like I'm being watched, and my heart starts beating like mad, my body temperature then goes up till I'm sweating buckets, any noise I hear I freak out about, and since they always hit at night, I can't sleep till it passes, at least that was before I started taking medication, now my body goes "time to freak out" and my brain is like "lol fuk u"

If I can go off of my experiences, then here it is.
It comes in waves, not all at once. First is a basic feeling of fear, meaning I freeze up and become hyperaware of my surroundings.
Next is the sweating and paranoia. Thoughts race through my head like "Am I being watched ?" and "Where's the nearest exit?".
After that is an attempt to rationalize the situation with positive thinking, which lasts until I can either break out of the attack, or if I'm able to get away from the area.
During the panic attack everything around me feels slower than usual, probably due to the adrenaline.
To summarize the actual feeling into words as best as I can, imagine this;
You're standing in the middle of a blank room. Everything is normal at first, but you start to feel like the walls are closing in on you. You're a little frightened, but it's not until the walls start to noticeably shrink that you actually beging to panic. You're stuck in this little box, screams turned to faint whispers as the walls close closer and closer in on you.
