Little ways to help

When i have a panic attack, there are certain things i like to hear that usually calm me down, i thought i would share them perhaps it will help someone that has a close friend or family member that has bpd or panic attacks. When i panic, sometimes all i need to hear a few simple phrases, they are phrases i can tell myself as well, but sometimes i don't believe myself and it helps to hear from others. -This will pass, it always does, think of the last time you felt like this nothing hapenned. -You are a good person, things always have a way to work out. -You are not alone and never will be -You are not crazy Then sometimes the person i am talking to will start small chit chat, what they did that day, what they ate for supper or ask me simple questions like that. Always simple questions, even just like i said, what did you eat today, what time did you get up, did you watch tv, is the weather nice outside..nothing too deep or complicated. I find these little things often help me. I actually tell friends and family members ahead of time what to tell me and it does really help, someone that listens and takes a few minutes to say the following things. Everyone might want to hear different things, these are pretty general though. Thank you for reading me :o)
