My first Anxiety/Panic Attack

[MLR421]

It was like I was going crazy and loosing my mind, I felt like my brain cells were frying. I couldn't figure out what was going on. It is about a week and a half since the attack and I am determined to get thru this.......I have seen a Therapist and scheduled my doctor appointment to go over what I am experiencing. I am joining this group to have a way of voicing how I feel and also to see if I can turn this into something positive! I refuse to feel sorry for myself. I admit it is difficult and find myself awaiting my next episode and so fearful of it, for me educating my self is key. I am going to learn ME all over again. I constantly tell myself I GOT THIS!!!!! I am in control of my mind and I refuse to let these thoughts live rent free!

I felt like I had no control of my mind, I was shaking my hands as if I had touched something really hot. I was unable to form my sentences correctly when asked how I was feeling. Started to think about what I was feeling and my thoughts were all over the place like I was going crazy. Also a feeling of sadness came over me when I began to think about my family.

In the spirit of learning, find the audiobooks by Dr. Claire Weekes. It's a great foundation and you'll like it.
