Does anyone have tips for anxiety attacks? I'm starting CBT in the next few weeks and am hoping to trial some medication but I'd love to know if there's anything that helps in the short-term? I keep getting really really bad chest pain and difficulty breathing and I have no idea what to do... I've tried so many breathing techniques but nothing seems to shift it 
(I do yoga so I've tried deep breaths, lion's breath, ujjayi breathing, alternate nostril breathing (nadi shodhan pranayama) etc)
When I have a headache I can take paracetamol and at least hope for the placebo effect lmao, not sure what my option are when it comes to anxiety. Sometimes throwing myself a one-man dance party helps but I'm not always in the mood or it's inappropriate (if I'm at the bus stop or in a lesson haha)

Does anyone know when it would be helpful to be hospitalised for something like severe depression? I just feel like I'm too depressed to do all the things I could do to make myself feel better, if yanno what I mean. At least in the hospital I'd eat and drink enough. I even forget my meds on purpose sometimes. I just think my behaviour is becoming too self-punishing that I can't take care of myself. Then again, I already feel like a waste of resources - I guess I don't believe I'd deserve the opportunity cost to the taxpayer. Maybe I'm just being attention seeking? Idk it feels like I'm just overthinking and magnifying the situation unnecessarily by even considering it.
Hello,
If you are in the situation where you aren't taking your meds on purpose, then I think that you need to be hospitalised ASAP.
I would go to the mental health unit at your local hospital. I would go straight to hospital rather than waiting around for another appointment with a doctor.
Don't have doubt or guilt in regards to 'wasting money.' You need to go to the hospital ASAP. The most important thing for you at the moment should be your mental health. Go to a hospital and try to get better. I wish you the best of luck.

Have you got any makeup at all?
If not then I would suggest finding another pair of tights to wear.

Hospitalisation is a difficult one. It is often used as a last resort as it is generally not the best place to get better, they can be very disruptive places.
However, if you are a severe risk to yourself (imminent suicide plan, severe self harm or severe self neglect) then an admission may be appropriate. If this is the case then definitely make an emergency GP appointment, contact your care coordinator or go straight to A&E.
If you're struggling at the moment which it sounds like you are, maybe seek a review with your treatment team? Are you with a mental health team? If not, maybe a referral there may be appropriate. Or the home treatment team is always an option.
Of course, if you are concerned, contact your GP/ care team or go to A&E if it is an emergency.

I know, that's why I'm so conflicted. The other problem is I'd be unable to sit my exams and I know my mental health should be the priority but it's hard to prioritise when I'm struggling to admit that I deserve anything, even oxygen. Do you know what would happen with regards to exams? I'm yr 13 and the system is changing so the qualifications won't even be avaliable next year.

I would really suggest going and talking to your treatment team. Who do you normally see about your mental health? I think you need to see them as soon as possible and just talk about what has been going on for you.

Not really, not that would help anyway- I don't wear it. Yeah will do, thanks. Hopefully shouldn't be too obvious :/

Please tell me that it's easy to get into... Not sure if it's just me or how I am at the moment but struggling to get into season four. I love OITNB but I think at the moment I'm just struggling to get into anything.
Side note, I have work tomorrow and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to last the shift. My knees are playing up and I have a very long day tomorrow.

I'm finding it a bit hard to get into as well. Not as much drama as I thought there would be but I'll see how it goes. Gonna watch the rest tomorrow

Its OK so far, I'm onto episode 5 atm and I would say that the other seasons have been more action packed than this so far but I'll see how the rest of the season goes

In good news, on Monday I plan on getting signed off on my college course. It's been a long, hard slog but it's nearly over. Can't believe I actually made it.
