Panic attack

[User2847473]

Having one. Details of situation are too outing but was doing okay until someone close said something that was from a caring place I guess but totally unhelpful and consumed me yesterday. Now can't think and have major things to juggle but have lost time on things that cannot be pushed back and are time critical to get done in particular order before I move on to next thing that is equally time critical. It is high stress and Covid related and the person commented on them. At the moment I feel like suicide might be the only way out. I literally cannot fail or push back on responsibilities or change deadlines in either of the other two counts. Just needed to write it down. Not expecting comments as I know the boards are busy.

Oh gosh @User2847473, you poor thing. I find breathing helps when I get like this - one minute meditations, I just put one on and it helps - www.just-a-minute.org/en/resource_centre/

And is there someone you can call, family or friend? Or try the Samaritans 116 123. let us know how you get on.

Thank you.

Try not to panic OP. Your job is important but speak to someone and let them know what you simply do not have time to achieve. If god forbid you were hit by a bus they would need to find someone to take on responsibility so nothing is all on one person. Tell someone about the situation and then just do your best. It's all any of us can do xxx

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

How are you feeling now @User2847473?
