Breaking Down

[Sweetmango85]

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Anxiety has been taking its toll. I’m sitting here on the verge of a panic attack and I can’t even pin point what’s wrong. I’m crying hard. Does it ever get easier? I want to send love and healing to all struggling like me. I pray for strength, healing and hope.

Hi Sweetmango85, Wipe those tears dear...it's going to be okay.Wrap your arms around you and give yourself a good hug. You are a very

important person. Don't allow Anxiety to take away any joy from you.

You are not alone. This feeling will not last forever. I wish you strength,

I wish you healing and hope. Try going onto YouTube and find a Meditation

for these qualities. Listen to the words and breathe.

Sometimes we need a reminder that our fear is but a thought gone wrong.

Our mind is a powerful tool that can overcome these feelings with practice.

Thank you for sending your love and healing to us. You are loved as well xx

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. I’ve been trying to take it a little easier. I’ve taken your advice. I’m gonna try and get back into meditation and exercise. I know being active and grounded helps.

Hi Sweetmango85, It will get better with time. The one thing all of us with anxiety & panic attacks can attest to is that panic attacks do not last forever. In the moment they are terrifying but you will make it to the other side of it. I often grab a cold pack and place it on my wrist for a short time in order to help ground me in the present. Maybe that’s a technique that might help you.

It does get easier. Do you have a friend or family member that you can trust to tell them how you are feeling? You cannot do this alone. Thank you for sharing with us how you are feeling. Please feel free to share anytime. When I feel panic setting in, I force myself to focus on what is actually bothering me. I have learned some techniques in therapy to talk myself down from being upset. Please know we are here for you.

Aww, Sweetmango85, I feel you. Breathe. Close your eyes. Rest for a second. You are going to be okay, without a shadow of a doubt.

I wish I knew what to tell you. I was doing well for months, maybe a year…..now I’m back struggling with anxiety again. I just want to feel safe again. Like I can relax and have a normal life. I’m scared and lonely.

Hello Sweetmango85, Please know you are not alone with your feelings. I too find myself on the verge of a panic attack not able to figure out why. Afterwards always realizing, it's a build-up of everything being held in. I usually like to pride myself on the fact that I am open about my feelings, and in moments like that, humble myself, and realize, I actually do hold in more than I'm proud to admit. Sending love and healing your way xoxo
