Making a plan - Panic Disorder

[NikeYrk]

I can’t stress enough that when you want to start recovery steps you have to make plan for it. It for one helps you see where your at and adds some structure to your life. Writing on paper what you want to do and where you want to be will help you feel like “okay I’m finally taking control back over my life”, and this is what I want. Starting with writing an overall long term goal, then under start writing the tiny goals it will take you to get there, and that could be 10 things leading up to the big goal. You will need to learn about exposure therapy, how to work with your sensations and feelings to help along the way. After that is all said and done you have to actually DO IT. It looks great on paper all the things you want to accomplish, and you probably always say one day things are gonna get better, but how will they when you’re not doing anything, because your stuck in the way you’ve been living and are used to it. You’re not just going to one day magically be able to drive, or go out of town (maybe for those who have only had a panic attack and didn’t develop panic disorder), because you kept hoping for it, it’s only happens by doing exposure and physical work.

Very well said yeah I've been in anorexic since 1440 years of anorexia I check myself into Outpatient Treatment it will be 7 years come this January in 20 20 eye I know a lot of people don't know the life of an anorexic or if you've never been in anorexia if you don't fully understand it of course but I have recovered but I've been ill for a long time I recovered daily to stay recovered there's times like anybody else stress especially of a new job or looking for a job or something in between jobs I've always been a Workaholics and see very young age but when your 57 there's different jobs you physically just can't do quite as good and so you look for different areas instead of being a waitress for 10 hours and carrying 50 lbs of platter food in front of you I have to accept the fact that age is upon me however Journal writing is awesome you do see it put your thoughts down on paper it works great for me I've been in treatment best therapists that I'm the only one I've ever had for 7 years and the only psychiatrist I've had for the same amount of time and my nurse they've all three been with me through this journey through my recovery from anorexia but I know I feel defeated like right now like in the last couple weeks you know searching for work sucks but I know those are the times that the anorexia voices want to talk loud I have to take my mind back down to when I was 14 I want the voice said to me when I became ill and look at pictures of me during my dying days at 90 pounds at 5 4 I look back at those photos and I will I go back into my mind and remember how the voices of the eating disorder spoke it is the very same voice nagging deceiving cruel low self-esteem manipulating lies and I struggle at times specially with stress but this morning I stood firm and said I will not let you take me back down to that Ali ever again it's a daily process usually I'm just doing fine but you know how person gets down that's normal I need a job I need a job I need a job so anorexics want to speak but I'm much more stronger and bigger than it ever was I love your post very encouraging thank you
