Panic attacks
I am in my second week of the program. I am learning that I suffer from panic attacks. Never thought I did until I listened to the CD. It is the main cause of my worry, anxiety, and depression. Since this past Sunday I have experienced two of these. One concerned a part time job. It was somthing I enjoy doing but later was worried that I wouldn't meet their expectations. I had a severe stomach ache and almost threw up. I had another one today because I was unable to download music on my ipod. I recognized what was happening and was able to calm myself down thanks to the program.
Obviously I have been for several years and didn't realize it. All the while I thought it was depression but since I started the program two weeks ago, I have learned that my panic attacks were causing my depresion. I have already had two this morning. I have one solved! Just finished working out and feel better. It is important that I keep busy to keep my mind occcupied. I am finding every day is a challenge, but am now aware of what I need to do to cope. Easier said then done!
