Iam crying

[Jrick34]

Good morning guys. I'm sitting at my desk and just had a panic attack that has me in tears. Intrusive thought popped up and had me screaming in my head. I got up to take a walk around the office but just went into a office closet and cried my eyes out. Its so scary and uncomfortable. I took my meds and know it'll pass but within in those few mins it feels like I'm dying on the inside. I just had to write about it. Normally I try to be the comic relief.

Will do, its not easy sometimes but I cant and wont let it win.

I agree with you totally about this not being easy. I have had kidney failure and two kidney transplants. If I could exchange this anxiety to be back in renal failure, I'd do it in a moment.

Dearest Jrick, even when we know what to do, sometime anxiety takes over our rationalthoughts for a while. It's at those moments that we need not to surrender but to accept

that this too shall pass. Having found that quiet safe place (closet) was a good idea.

Crying releases our emotions as well as the hormones causing these feelings.

Breathe my friend, hydrate, don't fight the feeling.

You are surrounded by those who care about you and understand and will see you

through this .

You are safe, you are okay. Don't believe the thoughts that your mind is telling you.

Breathe....drop your shoulders down away from your ears and allow your arms to

hang by your side while you breathe. Sending a gentle hug and calming thoughts xx
