I cant stop crying.
Parents on their way to me. But will take them over an hour.
Dont want to call an ambulance.
Help.

Everything will be ok.
Please just keep saying that as it's true.
You are not having a breakdown, most likely it's a panic attack so please breathe in with your mouth closed and breathe out for twice as long with you mouth open.
This will all calm your physical panic.
So breathe and say ‘everything will be ok'. Just keep repeating until your parents arrive.
You will be ok. xxx

Hang in there lovely sending you a massive virtual hug, hope your parents are with you now 😢 xx

They just left their house. They needed to pack all their medications.
It'll be an hour before they get here.

Try to stay calm pants46. As Dangermouse says, try taking deep breaths to calm yourself and try to distract yourself until your parents get there. They will be with you soon. You will be ok.....just hang on in there. We are all here for you.
Sending much love.

Pants. Concentrate on breathing. Think about what you can touch, hear and see. You are safe. You're not dying. Nothing bad is going to happen. This will pass.
Keep talking to us they will soon be there xxxx

Pants. Sit down in a chair. Try to breathe in for 7 out for 10. What can you feel under your hands? Can you feel the chair? You are safe.

Keep talking to us. This feeling is going to pass.

Im still here.
Parents not arrived yet.
Feel so bad calling them. They are in their 70s.
But have no one else.

Hi pants
Just seen this and sorry to hear how dreadful you are feeling and hope you are feeling better ths morning?
If this happens again and you are having to wait in such misery that long hour, for your parents to drive to you, you know there are organisations you can phone who can talk to you and talk through how you are feeling - so if you haven't already - when you are feeling better, make sure you have their phone numbers to hand?
And wanted to give you a :bighug: !!

I'm still alive. But probably soon to be jobless. In bed. Drinking camomile tea by the gallon.
Thank you, all, for being here. xx

Hi. Well I feel a bit better now. Lots of tears this morning. Then spent the afternoon in bed.
Do feel like I've been hit by a bus though. Feel nauseous and my back hurts too.
My Parents are staying over another night, then I'm going back to theirs for a week or so.
Dad can drive me to appointments and stuff. Going to try to see a Meno specialist. It'll cost a lot, but something has to change. Can't keep going like this.
Wish I'd never meddled and had my ovary removed. My life is fucked up.
Thanks for your messages of support, ladies. You are a beacon of light in the darkness.
Oh ... that's going to set me off again !!
N nite, sleep tight. xx
