My Favourite Bloggers June 2016

I haven't really done a blog post like this before as I have so many favourite bloggers and if I wrote a blog post about them all, it'd be almost a mile long! But I've decided that every month or so, I will talk about my 3 favourite bloggers that I'm loving that month!

I have followed Victoria's blog and YouTube for longer than I can remember. I have so much blog envy when it comes to Victoria's blog. Her photos are the most incredible quality and are so well took, Her blog posts in terms of writing are always so well written and are so informative when it comes to reviews. Victoria comes across as such a lovely, down to earth lady in her videos and it would be such a dream to meet her one day! Victoria is definitely my role model and who I aspire to be like in the blogging world.

Alex Rooke - alexrooke.com

Alex is honestly one of the loveliest people I have come across whilst in my first 3 months of blogging! Her blog posts are so incredibly written and well planned. Alex never fails to disappoint when she tweets that a new blog post has gone live. She also has a lovely, simple layout on her blog which is easy to navigate around and looks amazing! Alex is absolutely stunning and one of the most genuine girls I have spoken to whilst blogging, I couldn't recommend her blog enough!

What I love the most about Lauren's blog is that her personality is expressed so much through her posts and the photos she takes for her blog and for her Instagram. I love how her photos are so bright and girly and her room is like every girls dream! I have followed Lauren's blog for a while now and every blog post is amazing! I love how kind and lovely Lauren is to her followers on Instagram and Twitter, interacting a lot! If you're looking for all things girly and baking posts (which are AMAZING) I definitely recommend Lauren's blog!

That's all for this blog post!

Let's Talk About: Panic Attacks

'Let's Talk About' is going to be my new series of posts about mental health. I'm going to aim to write a post once every two weeks for this series.

Anyway, today's post is going to be about panic attacks. There seems to be a real stigma around anxiety and panic attacks and people living with panic disorder have to learn to live with the stigma surrounding the mental illness.

Let me give you a little information about panic attacks:

What is a panic attack?
A panic attack is an exaggeration of your body's normal response to fear, stress or excitement. It is the rapid build-up of overwhelming physical sensations, such as:

• A pounding heartbeat
• Feeling faint
• Sweating
• Nausea
• Chest pains
• Feeling unable to breathe
• Shaking limbs
• Feeling like you're not connected to your body

When do panic attacks happen?

It's different for different people. You might have a good understanding about likely situations or places that can trigger an attack for you, or they may come suddenly and randomly.

Night time panic attacks

Panic attacks can also happen at night due to your brain being alert (due to anxiety) and can wake you up. This can be quite a frightening experience as you are confused at what's happening and wouldn't be able to know it was going to happen.

How long do panic attacks last for?

Most last between 5-20 minutes. Symptoms usually peak within 10 minutes. Sometimes, you can experience symptoms of a panic attack which last for up to an hour. 

How often will you experience a panic attack?

It's different for everyone. Some people may only experience one in their lifetime, but others may have attacks once a month or several times a week.

So, what can you do about panic attacks?

The first thing is to keep your anxiety under control as much as possible. I have written a blog post about dealing with anxiety that you can read here. There is also medication that is available for anxiety sufferers that can help keep it under control. 

This was not a long, advice post but it gives you a bit of a background to panic attacks and panic disorders.
