Don't know what's real or not Amy more my heads so mixed up feel like can't breath blacking out. I'm crazy

[AngelWolf3]

I hate that feeling. Is there anything you can do to help control your breathing? Someone else suggested 7/7/7, breathe in for 7 seconds, hold it for 7 seconds, exhale for 7 seconds (or something like that) and that seemed to work for me.

I know it feels like you are crazy right now. I hope you feel better and that it goes away for you.

How are you doing to day Angel Jazz?

Little better thanks

[beauflow]

That is good

I have some trouble with "what is real" too at times.. I don't know if your's "what is real" is similar to my "what is real" but I know it can be very difficult to sort out things of what is reality--and what is illusion (or as I call it)...

I don't have any real words of wisdom with this- it is actually something myself I have been trying to figure out, but i do wish you well.. It can be very hard...

Some Times We Do Need to take one moment at a time...

the breathing distraction and exercise that Wolf3n suggested sounds like a good little thing to do if you can remember (I may try that some time if I can remember)..
.... Some times I look up at the stars or look at a picture of a nebula when I get to feeling too over whelmed... I know it may not be a typical "Safe place" but to imagine to be there for a second, to be alone-- then come back to "earth" so to speak.. some times that helps to cool down my head with some thoughts..

Something that I am always told (and it is some what an encouragement) that some things do take practice... Meaning, some times when I lose my grip, i am good with staying grounded-- other times I fly off the handle with not trusting anything including myself-- but those times are not failures per say, just a sign that some things need more practice

I hope that you have a therapist to talk to that can help you with some guidance with how to help you out in times like yesterday

many hugs

I do that look at pictures etc wish I was there

[beauflow]

It is hard to imagine some times, but some times just looking at pictures can help..

Some times at work when I am having trouble and need a real thing I guess.., I use a picture of my cat-- he is a real thing, I pet him every day,... A picture can spark a *good* *calm* memory of me with my cat...

I don't know if you have an animal or not, or something like that... some times places that we have gone (a good vacation) could help....

[beauflow]

ya know I was thinking about you--

I was not sure if my advice with the pictures was any good and I am not sure if this is either but i keep thinking about this...

You mentioned

feel like I'm being attacked someone on top of me I can't breath

Have you tried holding Ice or something physical that you can focus on since ? Perhaps that could help? it would be something physical that you see and feel, the coldness.... instead of not sure what is real of what you had felt..

I hope you are doing ok today sorry for posting again
