Does anyone else get that crippling anxiety when a confrontation is made with it's with you or just someone around you?
Like sometimes my best friend confronts nurses on the phone or in the tiny room and I have to leave because I can't breathe and get all panicked.
Even the words "we need to talk.." make you want to vomit everywhere or when the boss wants to see you in the office.
All knowing you didn't do anything wrong but you panic all the same.
How about after your panic attacks? Sometimes I get them back to back even when I am feeling ok. Does anyone feel tired afterward? Like you just want to lay down. All your energy has been spent and you have none left...
Is that why depressants sleep so much? No because of just tiredness, but because you have battled with yourself all day and you just don't have the energy anymore...
Is that why we commit suicide?
The ultimate sleep....

I avoid confrontations at all costs, way to negative for me. It should be about love or at least say it's okay to agree to disagree. I wish for you all you need. Love, peace, joy, light & hugs!!!
Hi,
Yes, the "we need to talk" statement used to scare the bejesus out of me at work. Many other things sound trip my alarm too.
Hi it sounds like we are alike in fearing and avoid confrontation. I have been like this all my life as my mother used to scream and shout at us all the time and verbally abuse us. When I was working and the boss asked to see me my heartbeat would increase and I was always convinced I was going to be criticised or even sacked.
yes, i agree, i hate confrontation. BUT i have to add that sometimes because of anxiety ...i get into confrontations (mostly not with my boss though), i start arguing ...because i gets too nervous ...and mostly i regret about it afterwords. It is not rational reaction but emotional.
I completely understand. I work in a high stress environment along with everyday anxiety. Sometimes I can barely drive myself home. But when I feel like I don't wanna fight anymore I think about who I'd be letting down. My dog Paco. He never asked to be bonded to me. My twin sister. She wouldn't make it without me. My dad. He can't heal from losing a wife and child. My other sisters. I'm suppose to be their role models. My grandparents. They'll be heartbroken with no grandkids.
There's too much to be sacrificed if I just let go.
I hate confrontations. I avoid them are all costs. I wish I had better advice because I ditch people and jobs because of it!
All I can say is go to the bathroom and just breathe it out. That's what I have to do at the hospital. Everyone wonders why I go in there all the time. It's either my IBS or my stress. I just have to take 5 and lock myself in there til I feel alil better.
