Typing helps....

[duchess1226]

I am neck deep in a rough anxiety attack and being here, reading and typing, seems to help. I really hate this disorder. I have been having a really great week, got a raise at work, lots of energy, even rescued a kitten and adopted it for my kids. Then, like being blindsided, I started this attack this morning. Its so weird because there is no set trigger for me...it just happens. I was laughing and joking with my son when it began! Does anyone else have this issue where you are truly feeling great and then BOOM, can't breath, heart racing, and insanity???!! I wish you all a better day than I am having and hopefully this will subside sooner than later! xo

I am exactly the same way. I could be eating, talking or just laying down watching comedy and BOOM it hits.. I'm kind of able to control the attacks it's the anxiety that gets me bcuz if I can control the anxiety then the panic attacks wouldn't come. I try heard daily to do things to change my mindset but it's so hard not to think about your anxiety symptoms..

Breathe duchess1226, it will pass shortly. Reading and typing helps because it allows your mind to escape what you are going through. Anxiety is mean in how it tries to rob us of happy moments. Knowing that it's anxiety should help it pass quicker. It sounds like it was a good week for you, Congrats on the raise You are an amazing woman who rescued a kitten and adopted it for your children. Take that extra energy today and pick yourself up and go on with a great weekend. You are stronger than an anxiety bully. You've proved it all week. My best x
