I’m trying acceptance and not going well

[Adamj]

I’m trying to accept my sensations I get all my body functions that I notice is just anxiety and I can’t my brain starts freaking out with every pop bubble muscle twitch pain I get in my chest it’s so annoying. I try and tell myself that I’ve felt like this for the last couple months and I haven’t died yet and it just doesn’t help. I’m still trying the buspar it’s slightly lessen my anxiety but I just keep freaking out thinking I’m dying

Hi Adamj I understand how difficult it is to think more positively when we've donenothing but cater to our negative thoughts all these years. It takes time to retrain

our brain to accept these sensations as normal bodily functions and not something

catastrophic happening. We have to remember that we are wired more sensitively

to any outer stimuli whether physical or emotional.

Don't fight it but go with the flow of it. Breathe and relax your shoulders when this

happens even if it is multiple times a day. Eventually, your mind will start to accept the

fact that there is nothing wrong. You may be fine one day and then hyper the next, not

to worry, it's all a part of the anxious mind. Keep trying xx

Thank you I am trying went and got blood work today to check if my vitamin d has come up and to see if my magnesium is good. And didn’t run out of the place when my anxiety/panic started to get bad

Adam, that was a big accomplishment in not running. I remember the first time I didn'trun out of the store when feeling anxiety coming on. What a big step that is for you.

Without knowing it you are reprogramming your mind not to be allowed to fight or fear

at the first sign of distress. Taking a deep breath and exhaling long and slow can calm

down the adrenaline rush. As many times as it takes is still a win. I'm proud of you xx
