MA,

can I suggest phoning beyond blue on their support number? Or calling life line?

a professional will be able to help you calm your thoughts and give you some hope that you will regain yourself back.

Hey you are going to be OK, you are going to be OK.

Are you able to close your eyes and take some nice deep long breaths? Sometimes that helps me.

Just let it go, let it all go.

If posting on here helps, then keep doing it. We're here for you.

Like Shelley said, take some deep breaths, try and find something to occupy your mind.

Hi MA,

I was in the same state a few weeks ago. It was horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I felt like nothing could calm me down and I felt like I was losing my mind - the only thing that seemed to help was posting on this forum. The only thing that gave me a small amount of relief was a cup of hot herbal tea (nothing with caffeine) such as Tulsi or Chamomile. I think the heat calmed my churning stomach a little - movement also helps so get out and go for a walk if you can (or just do some jumping jacks in your room). 

Is there any techniques you have for distracting your mind?

Ive been trying to play games on my phone and do breathing. Im so embarased after looking like someone with parkinsons picking up fish n chips last night for dinner for my parents. Im not going back there for awhile i nearly had a meltdown. Thankyou kind ppl for your replies hope your all well. My name is matt by the way. My real name

I've been there Matt.

i got the shakes at work and was sure everyone thought I was a loon. You know it's probably not as noticeable as you think.

have you got a movie or something you can watch? Or what about a crossword or something that really engaged your brain?

[Mental_as]

I swear the guy who served me thought i was weird an some guy was staring at me while i was waiting. My sister said i am not noticeable but it just wont register ,maybe ive gone nuts. They didnt think you were a loon did they? Im just watching tv all the overthinking an the shaking etc has given me a sore neck an headache 😞

Hi there Matt,

Good on you for seeking out help. I think it is incredibly hard to get through those times when it seems everyone is watching and anxiety seems to spiral. I think making sure that there is plenty of time to do the nice things and be away from what makes me anxious helps. I went through a patch of that about 2 years ago, I got through it traveling to see a psychologist, odd as it sounds a big part of the therapy was being stuck on v/line for hours. I hope that it gets better for you too.

Thanks rob for your kind words. It really does suck doesnt it. Anxiety is one of the worst things at least if i was schizophrenic or something then i wouldnt know im nuts. An wouldnt be so aware.whats a v line? Hope u are feeling better now.
