panic attacks

[IncognitoC]

This afternoon I had my regular meeting with my wellbeing practitioner, I described one of my “anxiety “ episodes that I had last week. It turns out that I actually had a panic attack! So not only do I have anxiety and depression but now I get panic attacks!

Hi there Incognito, another thing to be aware of. I am glad that you are learning more about your experience which will be helpful in reaching out for help. I am learning more about my self-destructive behaviors are something my body will trigger when it needs a break. Our bodies are good at letting us know when something needs to change.

Hi, thanks for your message.

I have been through destructive behaviour in the past, I’m a recovering addict 2yrs 4mnths clean now. My addiction caused me to end up in prison for a year. I lost everything and everyone. Now being pretty much alone I decided to seek help with my mental illness.

Congratulations on your recovery. What an achievement. Sounds like you have been through hell. Hope you are finding some connection here and perhaps in a 12-step group. I hope you find that the self care skills that got you into recovery can also help with this disease.

Thank you so much, it’s a daily battle which I have to deal with. I have a support group of my best friend, my wellbeing practitioner and even my probation officer. I never thought I had been through that much until I started to look into it.
