Have you ever called a hotline during a panic attack to try and help calm down?

I'm having a panic attack lol. I dozed off briefly then woke up, got up for a drink and took a bite of food, then boom. It's just so hard to tell if I'm panicking or if something happened sometimes. Chest is tight and short of breath. Scared I'm dying as is so common in a panic attack. Tried calling 1 person they're already asleep so thought about a hotline. Have never done that before. But i think it's a good idea to remember. Since I crossed an international border tonight my phone service is not working and I'm waiting to have it switched over hahah. Also I don't want to wake my son who is sleeping soundly. Chugged water. Thought about my son and needing to stay strong for him. Focusing on breath. Ugh. Writing this all down. It was literally so bad a few minutes ago I thought about calling an ambulance. What else can I do right now, myself....ugh 😭

@Notsimilarreally oh good, phew. It was good, everything was yummy and it was nice to spend time with my daughter. She lives in Vancouver so we don’t see her much.

@SW-User glad to hear it was good! Glad you got to spend time with her. It's gotta be one of your favorite things in the world. 😊

@Notsimilarreally ya she’s pretty cool and it’s nice seeing her and her brother hanging out and laughing (they are 10 1/2 years apart).

@SW-User our (♀) bodies are so amazing, the ability to have kids at many different stages of life. Sound alike a good time! So sweet

@SW-User the flight was actually good. Quick and smooth. Was not feeling anxious, too focused on my fussy gussy boy. He really wanted to grab and pull the hair of the guy sitting in front of us. And he kept touching the guy next to me. Did some screaming and crying too. 😂
