IN YOUR FACE ANXIETY!!

So I woke up this morning feeling absolutely AMAZING. I felt like ME again. The weather was perfect so I got up and went to work out. It was the start to a great day. In the middle of class, I feel anxiety and a panic attack creeping up. I couldn't catch my breath and I felt weak. I wanted to run out of class and go home. INSTEAD...I ran to the bathroom, splashed some water on my face, and said "NO ANXIETY. You will not win this time". Then I went back into class and finished my workout. I felt VICTORIOUS! I didn't let my symptoms consume me. If I can do it, we ALL can do it!! Take back your life. Don't let anxiety win!!! #Iamthechampion

woop! go you im so glad! it just shows that anxiety is beatable! do you have any tips that reduced your anxiety

[Hidden in reply to aminaismail]

I just breath through them and realize that I've felt these symptoms before...and they didn't kill me so they MUST be anxiety. I also had someone to tell me to count numbers out loud and not in order. Example...4, 32,18, 19,74, etc. Youre so focuses on trying to think of a number, that it takes your attention off of your anxiety. I also call a friend and chat with her. We usually start laughing about something dumb and again, I've taken my focus off of my anxiety. And if none of that works,I pop a xanax! I hate to do that, but sometimes I just want it to stop.

Thanks susannaylor. I don't think I've beat it...YET. I beat it for that day for sure. We can all do it. We just have to get angry at it and take back our life. It's a literal fight with yourself. Sounds crazy, but that's how I see it.

Hi All, great posts and replies, see my post on mind armies which may help understand the whys in how this happens.

Also for those that have even fleeting feelings of improvement that means, you have a recent history of feeling better. It shows we are capable of feeling better, and that feeling can be made longer and longer, and we then get more familiar with feeling better and then we learn to expect to feel better.

Peace!

[Hidden in reply to Alun001]

Well said Alun001. We are all capable of feeling better. We just can't let the symptoms consume us. I know easier said than done, but it can be done.
