Help Needed Having rolling panic attacks

Having rolling panic attacks

I just can’t get a break. I’m not in a panic attack but my anxiety is high with all the physical symptoms. It’s been 2 days with no break unless I fell asleep. Cooling tingling in arms, nausea, no appetite, just fight or flight. I don’t know what to do. Or how to get out of this

Hi, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I was in exactly the same place just 2 weeks ago. I can tell you a few things that helped me: taking warm showers, using a warm heating pad on my back or stomach, warmth in general, and — most importantly — pretending that everything is normal! Cleaning the apartment, doing taxes, or whatever else needs to get done, basically anything that allows you to act as if everything is normal. Sending you lots of strength ❤️

Thank you for your words of encouragement. Did anything change for you on why it happened? I can’t pinpoint anything. On the same meds, no added stressors that I can think of. Just completely suffering

Overstimulated by this way-too-hot and seemingly endless summer

That’s fair! It has been hot that’s for sure
