hey well that is normal your probably scare it keeps happening.well today i woke up horrible like i cant take this feelings nomore i feel like i'm losin my mind i'm scare of my scary thoughts.i feel like something is realy wrong with me. like if i had a demon inside of me. all i do is pray i'm terrefide to leave my daughter.i have all this sick thoughts i just feel like i cant take it anymore. do you ever fell this way couse i'm a single mom i just fell so overwelm and tire of this situation. i just dont want to keep living like this.

Hello!I know how you both feel.I had a huge panic attack yesturday also.To me even though it was very uncomfortable it was just a panic attack.It can't really hurt you.The worst it did was leave me very frustrated.I've also gotten myself into the panic cycle but I'm trying to change my thinking about it.It's very easy to fall into that "what's wrong with me?"Why does this keep happening tome?'"type of thinking.Well that's what fuels these attacks.Just remember that it is our thinking and the way that we respond to things that keep us in the panic cycle.It's very deceiving.Keep your guards up and when you feel it coming on don't give it any power.In other words as hard as it may be don't feed the fear and you'll gain control over them.Don't think back on them either.It happend you made it through it and we don't have to schedule another one.Make sense?I hope this helps.Take care!

Hello, I have had these anxiety atacks all of my life and I am twenty-four. Up until now I have not gotten any help from anyone reguarding my condition. So I decided to invest in the program in October. Right now I am on session two, but i already feel better using the tools Lucinda gave me. I would just keep on keeping on with the program and when your panic symptoms come don't try to avoid them but float through them. Know that the symptoms will go away. You just need to do your breathing, give yourself permission to have the panic, and you might be surprised how many times you don't have an attack if you just let the feelings pass through. It actually worked for me. Good Luck

What you offered is good for them. I also found it helpful to use the breathing technique as often as necessary: in the car driving, in bed looking at falling asleep, sitting down watching TV, etc...

The other very helpful thing is to get into doing tasks that are rigorous: racking leaves and bagging them, washing clothes, cleaning the floor, vaccuming, if you have a stationary exercise bike, if your Doc is OK with it, do a good 30-minute try, etc...

fear not, that was my lightbulb moment today while walking my dog! I don't have to expect the next one to come, that's just inviting it in. Accept that I had one and get over it...
vivijovi, those are the kinds of things i've been dealing with consistantly for the last 5 weeks now. And i've had enough. There is NOTHING wrong with you. There are no deamons inside of you and you're not the first or last person on this planet that has dealt with it...you've come to a good place. You don't have to be scared. The only thing stopping you from achieving the things you want is fear...that's it. Not a deamon, not an 'illness'....it's stress and fear. You need to knock the negative thoughts right out of your head, and if necessary, post positive affirmations on your walls. Tell yourself you are a strong person, you can get through anything. You are a survivor and a good person and BELIEVE it. Ask for help if you need it and don't be scared. You're never EVER alone.
