How Do I Help My Best Friend With Panic Attacks?

Posted by admin on September 24th, 2008 and filed under panic attacks help | 5 Comments »

My Best Friend suffers from panic attacks and always asks for me when she falls in to one. I think she does because i can deal with epilepsy sufferers but i dont know what else to help with other than sit with her and watch her breath into a bag and talk to her. Shes on medication but that only makes her sleep then wake up in absolute fear. What else can i do?

Develop some little ritual with her that you use whenever the has an attack–it could be a poem she likes, a song that has meaning, just describing the surroundings, anything that seems to comfort her. Just having someone there who understands what is happening & isn't overwhelmed by it is worth a whole lot!!She's lucky to have a good friend like you..
