Has anyone felt like they were having a panic attack all day?
Hello!I was just wondering if any of you have felt like you were having a panic attack that just wouldn't seem to let up and felt like it lasted most of the day?I haven't been giving into it.I've done everything that I'd normally do in a day but the attack just won't seem to go away!Any advice?Thank you!

Hi Fear Not-
I have had similar attacks in the past. I believe that they had lasted longer because I was holding on to them. You mention that you are trying to let go, but I wonder if you are expecting that the letting go will make it go away? Have you tried your breathing and relaxation tape? I know that seems to be a common theme, but sometimes that or distraction works with me.
I hope that helps some. Sometimes just "saying it" helps get it out of the system too. Confronting head on without ignoring might be another option (sorry, that was a little bit of a swing from one direction to another).
I do wish you success in finding an answer that works for you. Good luck to you. -J
