@Dreamy time going slow likely means you're chock full of adrenaline. It WILL pass. Focusing on slowing breathing will help with that.
It's gonna be okay - you've survived 100% of the times you've felt this heightened before, you will again 💜

@Jynx I'm trying to focus on every breath i take. I'm slowly starting to stop shaking.
It just feels like it will last forever, I know it won't but brain is working against me.
Trying to tell myself that it's ok and that this will pass. Literally feel like I'm in a state of shock.

@Dreamy yep it will definitely pass!! I will vouch for that hehe so your brain gets to read even more reassurance. Telling yourself "It will pass" out loud could also help.
You're doing amazingly, so proud of you 💜

@Jynx i crawled to my bed, my legs are like jelly so I couldn't walk. But I'm curled up in a little ball with my teddy in my arms, the only part of me that's poking out is my face.
Thankyou for staying with me and keeping me tetherd here ❤️

Hey @Dreamy

Thanks @MJG017 ❤️.
I'm slowly starting to calm down. Feel like a hermit crab in a shell at the moment, my face just poking out 😂
How's your night been?

Well, that sounds nice and cosy. As warm and cost as a shell can be i guess, but it's very protective by nature isn't it. So it sounds like a good place to be right now.
My night has been okay. Nothing as cosy as being a hermit crab though. It is tempting now to have and early night and do the same. 😊
