Everyday ...
it helps to know I am not alone
Yes kama, You know while sleeping in taxi and when this anxiety enters into my mind.. I feel like today is my last day on the earth.. later i feel like no problem .. no one is permanent in this earth... Don't worry cool... Every one will get their chance
yes, it can be like "this is IT".....I'm not going to make it.....and it feels so terrifying and REAL...then at some point there is some relief, but it always returns.
Yes, for me also.. When i share my problem i will get relief really do some trick... May be it will work.. when it enters into your my take a deep breath and release from your mouth slowly and tell yourself that you don't have any problem u can beat this... u are the only person who can do this
Yes
Every time I'm anxious that thought enters my head. It's a thought I can not control and quite often repeats itself over n over again 🌸
totally....it consumes me when I am in the throws of panic and no matter what my husband says to comfort me I can't get rid of it.
Meditation will train your brain. It really will help!
I admire those who can accomplish it but I have never been able to master the art, just like hypnosis was tried and the dr. finally admitted I couldn't be calmed enough.
But it's not something you do once and master. Just the act of sitting or lying down, each day, taking slow deep breathes for a couple minutes can do wonders for you. You will begin to notice the benefits little by little. You don't have master it, just do what you can and be kind to yourself .
Find guided meditation online and listen to it while you're in bed, with headphones. It's wonderful. Your mind will wonder and that's completely normal. Just gently guide your attention back to breathing.
At this point I must sound like a broken record. Anxiety and panic has a damaging effect on the entire system. It is ludicrous to think otherwise.
Research is desperately needed to identify the triggers for these episodes.
Hopefully the days of grin and Bear it are over. Millions of victims are on medications to mask symptoms while pharmacitucal are getting richer by the minute.
I just wish that after so many different treatments and meds I'd find one that could help calm me when at my worse. A lonely hopeless feeling
I am the same as you
Family try to give me good advice but it doesn't help. I always think is going to drive me insane n I'll totally lose it 🌸
I used to when I was younger, when I was embarrassed and scared by them. I thought I was always having heart issues. Now I know that it's only anxiety, it's made up by my brain. I know there is nothing wrong with my body. I use meditation to control my brain from making me think stupid and irrational thoughts. Dr. Claire Weekes is a great person to look into. Best wishes🙏
The book by Dr. Claire Weekes is certainly informative. I'm glad I read it....I find with advancing age I have more and more panic if I get a physical symptom, I think the worst is going to happen, and one day it will....why do I fear and worry so much NOW..Until it does....it IS my brain....but cannot control it.
I bought and read her book, some very good points in it, but again...I have gone from panic attacks to panic disorder and no matter what I try, even suggestions from CBT classes ...nothing helps, I'm hopeless.
No you are not hopeless at all. You are completely normal. The key is to practice once in the morning and before bed. Daily practice is the key to your growth. Only you came make yourself grow.
Thank you for your kind words. After 2 years of living in "panic/fear" I guess it is really getting to me to the point where I feel like giving up. I am mostly alone in this situation, and rely on myself for emotional support....unfortunately that is sometimes difficult to do but I will keep trying.
You sound like me Kama
Nothing seems to work, it's just so hard
I think maybe Deb is right, it needs to be continual practise
But I know that when I'm feeling bad nothing works 🌸
I hear you......the panic and in my case the severe nausea consume me when it is bad. I can listen to music, read, try to keep busy, go out to the back deck and breathe in fresh air, try tricks I learned in CBT class, practice tummy breathing and NOTHING diminishes the fear. I am a senor and of course my BIGGEST fear is of death, and as I say "I'm in the bullet zone"......don't think about it, don't dwell on that fact they say.....not so easy to do!
Yes !!!!
here it is nearing 2:30am and I'm still up trying to fight panic. Why because I've had a pain in my chest since supper time and of course you can guess what I'm thinking. It doesn't matter that I've experienced this before many times, and have stomach problems I'm dealing with....to me right now it is FEAR. I just wish they could have a procedure where they could remove certain emotions and feelings if you so chose. Going to take an Ativan and try to calm myself.
