Thanks oners, Ive only had these a few times and they are horrible. Only really started in the last 6 months when my drinking got worse. No idea where it has come from this time ... although the last month has been pretty crap if I am honest so it may just be a delayed reaction to everything. I have to remember that we are in a new month now .....

Will see if a nice bath will perk me up a bit. I really wanted some more sleep, but after lying there an hour I realised it wasnt going to happen.

I am out for a meal tonight with 4 or 5 friends to celebrate my birthday, I am even starting to not want to go on that and am thinking of cancelling as the thought of leaving the house is terrifying me at the moment.

Hello Army. Hiya Kitty! I used to get horrible panic attacks. Just try to remember it's only a "feeling". You have to try and let it float over you. It's your adrenaline kicking in like a "flight or fight"--but there is nothing to fight. Just breathe and talk to us or a friend at home.:l

Thanks expatty, until I can get someone here I am going to have to talk shite on here to get through this.

Trust me I know the feeling. It's hard to explain the feeling to someone who has never had them. I also felt talking to myself through it helped. It's just your sensitized nerves playing tricks on you. If you don't "feed" the fear--it starts to pass. I know it sounds easier said than done--but it works. I've had some monster attacks! Massaging your temples and breathing deeply can help.

Hiya KittyKat, have you ever tried any breathing techniques? I do something called 7 / 11 breathing. Seven seconds in through nose, 11 seconds out through mouth
I do it for as long as it takes, it does help.

How you doing now?

Thanks for the tip starts!!

Just lit some vanilla joss sticks and the house smells lush now, the sun is out and my pups are frolicking about in the garden lol. Told you I can post shite when I am trying to get my head out of the shed!

I think I am maybe panicking that I may be put in a 'Oh, come on ... it's your birthday, one glass of wine wont hurt' situation over the next few days.

Ahh nice one Kitty. When I first gave up I had panic attacks for a time. The first month was really bad. I sometimes found it hard to go anywhere and would physically feel awful. The thought of being put in a social situation was very scary too.

Just remember, one glass of wine will never ever be just one glass of wine. Not in a million years and with pigs flying across the sky

Oh I found a few (OK 10 lol!) empty wine bottles stashed in various places around the house recently! Dont know who I was hiding them from- I live alone since my ex moved out in September! LOL! So maybe they have been there a year or so ....!!

Anyway, I have stuck them out in the recycling. It did go through my mind to 'hide' them in the wheelie bin but what's the point of that. I'll feel better when they will be taken away on Tuesday though!
