Crippling panic where can I get help

[Hourbyehours]

I have been experiencing crippling and escalating anxiety since Tuesday and am now unable to function. It started with night terrors a couple of weeks ago as I have been doing some trauma work in relation to historical abuse. I am terrified, unable to function and I can’t see a way although this…. I am due to start a new job on Monday and can’t see myself even making it to then. I have also found out this week that I have been doing business/personal tax wrong and there may be around £4k to pay… we can easily do this but I am terrified of it triggering a full blown investigation (not that I have anything else to hide) and I know I won’t cope with that… where can I get help for how I’m feeling? I can’t sleep and just want to die

Do you have NHS 111 mental health option in your area? If so you can call them.

Otherwise out of hours GP or last resort A&E.

Or are you able to contact your therapist between sessions? Did they not do a safety plan with you for such eventualities?

Call 111 and ask for the crisis team. They will visit and assess you. It sounds dramatic. This is the group that deals with sections and the like. You’re not going to be sectioned as they they will do anything to keep you in community. But it does open up a huge amount of instant resources which you would be otherwise unable to access. They are great honestly. Goodluck

Thank you so much for replying, I am sorry I cannot say much but wanted to thank you for taking the time to care

I had a similar experience some years ago and it was bloody awful. I got through it with the help of my doctor, MIND, local mental health services and Mumsnet.
You need an emergency prescription of Diazapam to calm you down so that you can function. We found the out of hours GP helpful for this.
The thing that actually saved me was Fluoxetine.
Sending strength. You WILL get through this. X

Diazepam, propanol, and also try REBT therapy with hypnosis as part of it, if you can find a therapist. I did it on top of my usual therapy for intrusive thoughts and panic and it worked a treat .

Also: take deep breaths. Things will be ok with the money, I also get freaked by stufff like that, but just take the first step and organise payment.

Definitely see a doctor or go to emergency care.
You might like to try a meditation video on YouTube that you can use when feeling overwhelmed. They talk you through calming yourself down and play relaxing music in the background. There are tons of them to choose from. Self hypnosis meditations are quite useful too.
Take care.
