Coping With Panic Print


Here are some steps to help cope when a panic attack is happening. It may be hard to read during a panic attack, so having a loved one read it to you can be helpful! I found these to be very comforting when I was struggling with panic disorder.

I promoted the phrase "treat-yo-self" to treat-yo-self HEALTHY, because life can have a sweet, yet healthy balance! In this blog, I share some holistic approaches to healing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. I do my best to share insights from personal experience with health challenges, as well as share my knowledge from my educational background (registered nurse). Thanks for joining me in my journey!

Anxiety. Depression. Peace

My Experience With Anxiety I never would have considered myself an anxious person.  In fact, I would say that I coped with stress very well.  Like everyone else, I would get anxious every now and then when it came to things like taking an exam, applying for a new job, public speaking, etc.  It wasn't until August of 2019 that I had a panic attack (although I didn't know what it was at the time). I was in the kitchen at about 8pm prepping for my lunch to bring to school the following day. I was cutting an apple when I suddenly felt my heart leap out of my chest. It was the biggest heart palpitation I had ever felt.  Next, the vision in my left eye started to black out. I immediately felt the need to quickly sit on the ground in case I were to pass out. I shouted for my husband and told him something didn't feel right. I was very shaky, light-headed, and short of breath. We got some pillows and propped my feet up right there on the kitchen floor. I felt for a

Here Are the Real Facts How many times have you browsed the internet for answers involving your health? The truth is... most of us are guilty Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, said something relating the matter: "After a recent medical procedure, my very capable doctors explained what I needed to do to heal properly. But first I had to relearn something about myself I should have known for a long time: as a patient, I'm not very patient. Consequently I decided to expedite the healing process by undertaking my own Internet search. I suppose I expected to discover truth of which my doctors were unaware or had tried to keep from me. It took me a little while before I realized the irony of what I was doing. Of course, researching things for ourselves is not a bad idea. But I was disregarding truth I could rely on and instead found myself being drawn to the often-outlandish claims of Internet lore. S

My Experience With Postpartum Anxiety & Depression

"Do you think you'll get postpartum depression?", a lot of friends and family would ask me when I was pregnant. If you've read some of my other blog posts, you would see that I have struggled with severe anxiety in the past.  "I don't know, probably", was often my reply. Given my history with mood disorders, I assumed it could be likely I would experience some struggles postpartum. Little did I know at the time how hard and fast it would hit me.  Beginning in the first trimester, I experienced depression. Despite being quite open about my mental health, I remained mostly quiet about depression throughout my pregnancy. Since anxiety was more dominant for me in the past, lingering depression was a newer learning curve for me. I believe I kept quiet for a few different reasons: Depression caused a lack of motivation and energy, making it so I didn't want to do anything I normally enjoyed doing. I also didn't feel like talking to anyone. This was com
