Small panic attacks

So yesterday I was walking the dog like I do everyday, I got so far from my house and started thinking what if I have a heart attack while I'm walking the dog, so I turned back and stayed about 5-7 mins from my house and made me feel better ,, but that's the worse thing someone can do, you need to face your fear .. Anyone ever experience anything similar?

Hi detour13, I did that in the past many times. That is until I realized that it's not

the distance I go or the place I'm in. It's all about the lies the thoughts in my head

tell me. Especially when getting near home or actually walking into your home brings

you the peace of mind and body that you were looking for. That's when I realized it

had nothing to do with where I was at but more about the over sensitized and anxious

brain. When we go through with our fearful thoughts, anxiety takes a step

back. We win a little at a time each time we ignore the anxious thoughts and doubts.

Who is Anxiety to tell us how and what we do with our lives?

Push anxiety aside enough times and you will see it cower in fear and leave you alone.

Don't play anxiety's game. You're a winner not a worrier lol :) xx

I went through this many times. I finally said to myself... ok if something happens someone will call 911 and I will get treatment. I got so sick of holding myself prisoner to distance
