Stress Center Peer Support

After working on the program on an off for 2 months, I did fell comfortable about dealing with this misfortune of my. The other day it hit me again, I had multiple panics attacks with in 20 minute. It started with light head, I thought " I haven't eat any thing in 6 hours, maybe my sugar its low. I grabbed a full glass of OJ. Didn't do the trick, I fell shaky, then it hit me hard over an over 4 time, four ugly panics. Every think was in my face, all the color become very bright, I thought I was in a bad dream, I shut down people were talking to me I stud there, an a single word was coming out of my mouth. I thought I was going to claps on the floor. One the worst 20 minutes of my life.Now couple days after I am felling nervous, edgy , dizzy , sliding down in a black spiroll hole afraid I will never able to come out,. Why I do fell like that? what are those felling after shocks "like earthquick". I heat the fact that I am at square zero.

You are not back at square one. Remember this is the part where you recognize what is going on and talk yourself through it -- just like you did in your post. Now breathe and try the relaxation tape for a minute or go all the way through it if you can. You are on the right track. Now be kind and patient with yourself and keep moving forward. Your feelings don't go away but you are learning how to deal with them.

It's frustrating for sure but remember that those of us afflicted with anxiety will need to practice coping skills every day in every situation. We're just wired different and need to take care of ourselves. As ship2shore states, be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to feel the panic and work through it by using your breathing exercises and talking yourself through. Remember, one day, one moment at a time...

Just going thru the progam causes panic because you are forced to deal with things that you have bottled up inside. I promise you that once you deal with things, the panic gets less and less. There were times that I should not have driven because the panic hit while I was behind the wheel. I ended up having to pull over ! Just stick with the program. You will overcome this !

Thank you to every ones! My big problem is the the way I think. My thoughts are my enemy, when I start think over a something I keep dwelling on it over an over, causing my constantly spaciness an dizzyness. When I am at sleep I feel good because I don't think!! How I can replace my way of thinking. I am my worst enemy.

Some others above have mentioned it, we will have to use these tools and practice the controls every day. I do not expect a miracle cure, I do appreciate how well these tools work when we take the time to use them.

Initially, I had a problem replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. One day I noticed I was doing it automatically.

Thoughts are just that, only thoughts. We are our own worst enemy! Anxiety is not something being done to us, we are generating it within ourselves.
