Post Panic Attack

[alfreddy7]

It is safe to say that 95% of my anxiety and panic attacks come from my Hypochondria. It has always been. And my mind and body knows it.

The recovery of this one was way faster than my previous panic attacks a year ago.

I’m not disappointed nor sad or angry that they came back because I have been making progress.

What helped me a lot, and I mean a lot was Acceptance. I’m starting to learn acceptance. Weather I will be like this for the rest of my life or not, I am willing to accept.

Another thing that helped me a lot is getting out of bed. Not sure if it’s lack of motivation but getting out of bed, taking a walk, going to the store, to the park. Etc..

Even if you don’t want to I force myself to get off and get out.

And lastly is supplements and diet.

Imagine how I would be if I added yoga and exercise to my regimen?

Anyway. I just wanted to share my thoughts post panic attack.

I hope you’re all having a good day. And to my fellow people in the northern hemisphere: Tomorrow is the darkest day of the year. Meaning days will start to get longer in sunlight

Yay!! ☀️

alfreddy, nice post. Eventually, we hopefully get to the point that you are at.Acceptance... who knew that in all the years we fought tooth and nail that we were

just making our situation worse.

I'm happy you are seeing the results in the changes you have made in your life.

Once you have a grasp of what works, it never really goes away but only will get

stronger as you get more confident in that "you've got this" Thanks for posting

a positive uplifting post. xx

I have to learn to accept. This is soooo hard for me. I just spiral. I love that you suggest walking outside etc etc. good advice thank you. Any tips you have on acceptance will be very helpful. I’m so glad the days will be getting longer too. More daylight.

I can definitely relate with the hypochondria a bit! I have felt like something is wrong in my body since April. I think hypochondria is “worse” when you are truly having physical symptoms (I remember you have UC).

Acceptance is definitely huge! Like the serenity prayer: Give me the strength to change what I can, the courage to accept what I can’t change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I’m learning that when I get an uncomfortable or painful sensation to treat it as an important message from my brain. “I feel something uncomfortable inside my lower right ribs. Thank you, brain, for letting me know that something is happening inside my body.”

Then I try to breathe love into that area of my body.
