week long growth spurt

Hey all!
So this past week has been really really tough. I've been having a big growth spurt. I am obessessing over my body symptoms, telling myself they are going to kill me...my racing heart it going to blow up and im going to die. Im what ifing I panic so bad that everything just (in my body) gives up on me. Its so terrible, I have had such a great past like 5 months and the past week I feel as how I almost did a year ago when I first started with this.

Im trying to do whatever I can to make these go away(relaxation tape, I exercise daily). Im trying to stay as healthy as possible around the holidays..I love sweets, but they also make me anxious.

This kinda started when I was out christmas shoppping and I went to call my fiance, and my phone died out and I was really far from home(like 45min) and I totally had a huge panic attack in the car b.c the cell phone is my safe thing.

I would really like some advice on how to handle this. Or just some kind positive words.

Thank you everyone

Dena

I am also going through this... just one thought turned everything around... I lost all my confidence and it just sucks... now i feel a little better that i am not alone... but it is definitely treatable if u did it once u can do it again...

it might be a bad week... Holidays make everyone anxious i am sure u are gonna be alright soon... try to write your thoughts down and just throw it away

I have also been going through the same thing. This past week hasn't been great, but I'm trying to rethink my thinking. I also use my cell phone as a " safe thing". I freak out if I can't find it or it dies. I'm working on that. Good Luck
