Ugh

My heart feels like its besting out of my chest. I can't calm it down. :(

Beating, not besting....

That's the worst feeling. I always feel like it's going to explode. Try to control your breathing. That usually helps me.

Thanks. I've been trying to do that. When I breathe in, I can feel it even more. I've been reading around the forum and that has helped. I know it's anxiety because I've been dealing with it for 8 years now. Sometimes it just helps to talk to other people. I'm relaxing a bit now. Xanax helped too I'm sure. Oh, anxiety.... 😡

Breathing exercises don't work for me. Like not at all. It makes me focus more on my heartbeats cause of the silence.


I get up and move around. Remember, a cardio exercise is more exerting on your heart the a panic attack or anxiety, that always helps me calm down. That running a mile is more heart strain.

Dazza once said, breathe in deeply ALL the time. This works for me, cause the breathing technique only makes me more anxious.

Concentrate on something like a movie or call someone lol, thats what I do when it gets annoying.

You could also try drinking some hot tea. It normally calms me down.
