I was describing to my councillor how I get this feeling sensation of pins and needles in my stomach that travels up into my chest like a warm surge lasts for about 40 seconds then it sends me into full fledge anxiety. She figures I am having panic attacks. Anyone else get weird feelings like that?

I use to get sensations before an anxiety or panic attack. I described them as

a "menthol feeling" surging throughout my body. We each may describe the

issue in different ways but the root of those feelings is Adrenaline Rush> :) xx

I have had them 3x and then a few slight flashes. Totally sets me back. Councillor said to welcome them and accept instead of freaking out to retrain my brain the maligua however you spell it. She said it will take a few times to start to master it. But of course since I have health anxiety I still keep thinking its something else horribly wrong.

Your counselor told you true. It does take time but well worth the effort. :) xx
