Venting SCARED!!

[Azzy69]

M y paranoia is so bad right now and idk what to do. Ive had 3 panic attacks today.

I feel you. I have PTSD so I definitely have days like that too where I am in constant fear. What helps me in those times is to get out of my mind, bc my mind is such a scary place. Curl up under the covers, or wherever you feel most safe (or least unsafe), plug in some earbuds, and watch your favorite show. Taking a freezing cold (and I mean freezing) shower helps too. I have a whole slew of physical and mental coping skills, and I'm happy to talk any time.

When I'm feeling impulsive, I try to set rules for myself so that I have to wait until I'm aloud to make a decision. For example, I was having a really impulsive, panicky day when I really wanted to cbt right away. I decided that suicide is a big decision, so I had to wait a month before settling in an answer. You don't have to choose a month. It could always be a week or two if you prefer. Just something that gives you time to fully think through and understand all your options
