Shit...

[mousme]

Having a panic attack for no apparent reason.

Felt it building up earlier, tried to keep it at bay, and not working at all.

Shit shit shit.

These things are always poorly-timed, too. I have to leave for curtana's game in fifteen minutes or so, and right now all I want to do is curl up in a ball in a corner and hyperventilate.

I can't remember whether or not I took my stupid anti-anxiety meds this morning.

Fuck.

Do what Kay told me to do. Get a paper bag (NOT PLASTIC) or, in a pinch, your cupped hands. Put them over your nose and mouth. Breathe out for a count of five. Breathe in what you just breathed out. Breathe out again. Do every breath out on a count of five, and every breath in on a count of five. Keep doing this until your body calms down. Breathe.

Don't hyperventilate!

Find a paper bag, or, at a pinch, cup your hands.

Breathe out into the container for a count of 5.
Breathe in from the container, count of 5.

Repeat.
