I am in the middle of such anxiety,panic attack now going on along with the depression.
Please answer. LOST IN CT.
lst day starting the program AGAIN
Good Morning, I am sorry you are feeling so badly. Anxiety & panic attacks, & depression. are feelings that just wear us out, because we are trying to be strong & feel normal. I have just been in the program 2weeks, & am doing a lot of positive self talk, but I still feel quite anxious, There is the chat room you can go into & discuss your feeling, they can try to help you. It is under Stress Center Community. I am also trying to do the breathing technique, Are you on any meds. for relaxation? I have to take .05ml. of Lorazapam to slow my heart beat down.That seems to get rid of the panic. I wish I had the right answers for you. Do you have any one that can help you, when you are going through this? I hope I have been of some help..Zarina
I know how you feel. Sometimes I think I'm doing real well and all of a sudden I feel like I'm back where I started. Do everything they ask and stay on a routine and I think that will help. What I do when I'm going through a hard time is self talk about positive things in my life, then over and over again I keep telling myself everything is going to be ok and that it's ok to have the feelings we have. When you know whatever you think is ok it helps to make these anxious feelings go away.
StressCenter.com always says it's good to go thru the program twice. I did it the 2nd time with a coach. Why not start it just like you did the first time. Were you helped then? Then do it the same plus come on the forums and chat for support. Be sure to do the relaxation tape daily maybe 2-3 times. Do the homework in the workbook. Compare your answers to what you wrote the first time. If you want to PM me I'd be happy to help in any other way.
