Stress Center Peer Support

Hi, I've been thru the program once (actually I got about half way thru it & lost my way but now I'm back starting all over again). I just recently started having A LOT of anxiety again (scary thoughts, racing heart, headaches, dizziness) & I cant seem to work through it. I listen to the tape & read the book & do my relaxation tape everyday but I just cant seem to get a grip on it this time around. I do have Multiple Sclerosis & am doing very well with it. To look at me you would never know there was anything wrong with me so I am a very blessed person in that area. But I do deal with depression. I've just been having a lot of scary thoughts about death, choking, swallowing, dizziness, headaches & racing heart. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that I'm not going crazy (even though I feel like it). Thank you & many blessings to all.

All those symptoms are classic anxiety symptoms, and I've had them all. You are not going crazy. Remember, that the anxiety can be worse when you begin to deal with it and look at it. Its all part of the process. Keep with the program, it works.

Thank you, Rose Thorn for the encouragement that increased anxiety is just part of the process

Thank you so much Rose_Thorn, I really appreciate the comment. Somedays are better than others but I just keep telling myself, I've been thru a bad day hundreds of times, I can get thru this one. Thank you again Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!
