And my chest really hurts, like really bad. I've been drinking and know my med interaction can cause an irregular heart beat. Can someone calm me down so I can think clearly enough to know for sure?

Can you focus on your breathing or on some music to calm down enough to sort it out. Would being able to talk it out help? If you need an ear to listen I'm here.

Focused on music and breathing. Calmed down some. I knew I shouldn't have had gin. It really screws with me. I just keep thinking about things I don't want to. I don't know how many panic attacks I've had in the past half hour. A lot. They won't stop, just like my thoughts. ****, I knew this would happen. Why did I slip up? Damn it..

We all slip up from time to time. It's part of being human. Be gentle with yourself you are worth it.
I'm sorry about the thoughts. I truly understand how they get in there and it's like a hamster on a wheel over and over. I don't know if it will help you but when my thoughts are like that I focus on a sound like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. It's annoying but if I focus on it enough the sound drowns out the thoughts.

I usually do something with my sense of touch. Slap my knuckles on a board or something. Gives my control over something.

I could see that working but then I'm thinking bruised knuckles and that just hurts. I used to punch my leg then I decided why hurt me more than I've already been hurt.
Have you ever tried meditation to try to control your thoughts and drive them back? It's taken years of practice but most times if I can't drown mine out then I can replace them with better thoughts. Even if it's just the plot of a favorite movie I play it over in my mind. Or I listen to music in my head like my own private radio to drown out the thoughts I don't want.

Meditation doesn't work for me. My knuckles are usually pretty bruised when I'm done. I just need that pain for some reason.

I can understand that I've needed pain too. Even though I've done it I hate the thought of someone else being in that spot because I know how bad it feels. ((((hugs))))
I hate to but I have to get busy here at work and open up for the day.

 It sucks when our anxiety gets out of control but sometimes we are just powerless in regards to making it stop and have to let them "run their course in there own sweet time" though I do try to take even breaths. Think about breathing in and out, slowly, gently, evenly. Having a very even cadence to your breaths and not breathing to shallowly, deeply, or quickly is helpful....

I have caused myself some pain too - self harmed just enough for people to notice; like, deeply scratching my arms. The pain also served as something to focus on and take my thoughts away from the immediacy of the panic.
How did things work out? |

i have learnt not to fight the anxiety .... i know easier said than done.. .but the more you fight it the worse it gets... just try to take some deep breaths... and get youself busy with something else...once you focus on other things..your likely to calm down.
as for beating yourself up you are only human.. don't be too hard on yourself. it gets to the best of us. take care |
