Library mein panic attack aaya, breathing exercise bhi fail? Maa ko lagta hai main natak kar raha hoon 😭

literally had the worst panic attack last night in the library while studying for my exams. Mera heart was beating so fast I thought I was gonna pass out. My hands went numb and I couldn't breathe properly. It's like my brain just stops working and I start overthinking every little thing - "what if I fail", "what if my parents get angry", "what if I'm just faking it all".

Maine kal raat ek breathing exercise try kiya - 4-7-8 wala. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Honestly it helped a little bit but I still felt shaky for like an hour after. My mom saw me doing it and she was like "ye sab natak band kar, padhai pe focus kar". That literally triggered me more. Why do they think mental health is just drama?

I know I need to keep practicing but it's so hard when everyone around you thinks you're just being lazy or attention-seeking. Does anyone else feel like breathing exercises work but only for a few minutes? And how do you deal with parents who don't take your anxiety seriously? Please help yaar, I'm literally exhausted. 😭
