I think I'm having a panic attack. I feel like I'm going crazy, my thoughts are all over the place. I have so much homework to do; I tried doing it today and I got a lot done, but I couldn't go any further because this started happening. I suddenly start crying and hyperventillating. I feel like I'm being sufficated and I can't stop it, not by

the only remedy i've found is slow deep breathing until i feel like a normal person again. and then i tell myself that whatever you have to do will either get done or it won't, and either way life goes on. i'm sure that doesn't jive well with your perfectionist attitude, but i hope it helps! love you & feel better!

alternate method: get REEEEAAAAAALY drunk. that oughta sooth any anxiety you have.

nor does it jive with a boyfriend who wants to be dating someone who's motivated and gets things done and is headed somewhere in life. When I start thinking about that I get panicky again...deep breaths.

I have a lot of friends who get panic attacks, though I've never actually had one myself.

I know there are some good livejournal communities, if you did an interest search for panic attacks-- they would probably have some good advice.

no one seems to be posting in the livejournal communities devoted to panic attacks. I think probably the best solution would be to seek out professional help, I just can't at the moment because I don't have time. That will be one of the first things I do when I get back to the city in January.

The fact that you got so much work done despite being sick is something you should be proud of. :) First, try and cure your sickmoogly and then do the work, one step at a time.

I feel better sick-wise today, but I can't sleep knowing how much work I have to do. Bah, never again will I wait so long to do my work.

I'm sure you can make it. *Lots of moogly*
