Answer 1

Hi,

If you feel a panic attack or feelings of anxiety creeping up on you then try this word repetition technique that I learned that helps me to quickly 'snap out' of my panic attacks:

I simply repeat the words 'cream cake' over and over in my head as quickly as I can without stopping.    You could use any word or words you like really but that's what I chose (because I like cream cakes).  It apparently works because it doesn't give your brain time to process the panicky thoughts and so helps you to relax again.  Seems strange I know ... but it works for me!

There's also a free ebook that I found really useful called 'Get Rid of Panic and Anxiety for Good'. If you want to take a look you can find it at: http://curepanicattacks.premiergold.info...    Even though I got it for free it has helped me absolutely loads!

its sounds like it could be a hun. i totally understand because i have them too. and many women get there first panic and anxiety attacks through pregnancy and or after the birth of a child. It will be ok. You need to discuss this more with the doctors and and maybe get some medication to help such as anti anxiety pills these wil definitely help if it is anxiety and u wil be back to ur old self again. but if these dont help it could be something more serious. Talk to your doctors about this i promise you everything will be fine!!
