Stress Center Peer Support

Hi all well i've been doing better for the most part until last night I felt that ol familiar feeling coming on and for no reason I just got out of the shower getting ready to get into bed and boom it hit,the attack lasted for a few minutes I was able to talk myself through it.I thought oh great i've been saying i'm doing better so now i've went and jinxed myself! My therapist told our group that usually what happens is at the end of the day when we are on our down time is when it hits from something during the day we are so busy dealing with the stuff during the day it don't hit us right then it's when we are setting down at rest and then it hits I don't know if this is true but I thought I would share it with you guys.Well til next time...April

Most of my anxiety attacks hit at night time before I go to bed. I tell myself that I'm tired and had a long day and that's why I'm feeling anxious, and that usually helps me feel better.

I used to have the same problem I play the relax tape once doing it the next just listen and I can fall asleep for 4 hrs If and when I wake up If I can,t go back to sleep because of racing thougths I try and pray and if my mind wont focus I get up and write in my jounal this usually works take care wendel.

April, good for you for talking yourself through the attack! That's hard to do. You really ARE doing better!
