Not nice thoughts...

[tinkerbell23]

I KNOW im like a broken record!

And iv had ALL the advice under the sun!!!! (which i am following honest)

Have a bath run, had my tablets plus a few kalms....
Awaiting councelling...


Usually the daft thoughts brought on the panic and then i was ok...

But past few days the silly thoughts have been 10x worse :0(

Dont know why! Ive had diarreah and im also wretching with the big ball of fear in my stomach.....

Wish i knew why theyve gotten worse...when ive made positive steps this week.

Ive kept busy and kept in company but i keep having to take deep breaths and just cant shake the feelings....even trying to fall asleep is so hard because i cant switch off- that includes when i have meditation earphones in and my tablet that makes me sleepy :0(

Just wanted to say really. I know ive had all
Of the most amazing advice xx

Don't have any practical advice but just wanted to let you know that there are always people on here that can help, or just to chat to. Really hope you feel a bit more like yourself soon, x

Another thing is do not beat yourself up.
I should be better or there is people worse off than I. Just accept this is you for now for how long or short this will be.
I could run a treatment and assessment unit but could not go to the theatre without large quantities of diazepam.
Again with love,
Gavin

You are so right - it is a temporary blip. Night night love.

Whenever I feel like this I try to think of all the people around me whose lives are ten times worse than mine and how lucky I am in comparison. It might work with you, worth a try anyway. Lots of love and encouragement wafting over the air from here to you.

[tinkerbell23]

Thank you star and tenrec!!!! Had a nice bath in baby bath lol in use baby lavender stuff to also chill me ....

Just bide my time till its all better xx

Hello again,
When you watch the technique there is different areas you tap. Something I did not get but have learnt subsequently is that if you do not feel a reduction in your anxiety tap for longer at different points.
Again it sounds like complete bull but it worked for me and I have taught it to a few people without really understanding it but for a lot of people it really did work.
Love,
Gavin

Hi Tinkerbell I feel for you I really do....what you say reminds me so much of my ex hubbie and still my best friend forever.. he has had such a time of it in the last 4 years with stays in hospital too but I am seeing the best side of him I have seen in many many years.
If you are having similar difficulties to him I know that it is good to talk; it is grounding and you need to know you are normal and not the only one out there suffering.
It has been at least a year since I have had a call from him where he is having an attack and needs a friendly ear but I know when he needed that it really helped him...
so...Tinkerbell as I would say to my ex a year ago, who is now well, very happy, for now panic attack free and calm and sleeping well, taking his medication, meditating, in a stable relationship and finally working again...you are not on your own, you are very normal, I hope you have plenty support and it will not be like this forever. Friends and acquaintances are that because they care and they are happy to be there for you. If they are friends then they wouldn't have it any other way and will never say you are being silly...this was meant to be a quick note sorry it droned on a bit....hey keep chatting to whoever you can when you need to. xxx

Hang in there tinkerbell.
This will pass...it always does.
What's the worst that can happen ?
That's a serious question.
Make yourself answer it then re-assess how you are.

[tinkerbell23]

Thanks each an everyone of you for taking time to even chat with me and reassure me.....keeps me going :) and it IS a blip.... It is...friends are great theyre just shocked im like this actually because its SO not me!!!

I will have a look at that cd ron thank you... Thank you all so so so much and im glad you have all managed to controll them and your loved ones have it gives me hope!!!! Its frustrating.... I even get sore muscles from tensing up grrr make a wee cuppa tea i think now xx

[sherrardk]

Go with Lady Alex, I have been through some bleak times and have got through by thinking what's the worse that can happen (had forgotten all about it till I saw her post - not the bad times, but thinking 'what's the worse ...'). Thinking about it, can't see how we did get through it but we obviously did. Really hope you're feeling brighter soon. x

[EvianBaby]

This sometimes cheers me up. (I know it's a bit more than you just being in a grump). Xx

Tinkerbell you are not alone; it is a very common illness and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Mr ExSunflower learnt so much from talking it through and also from helping other sufferers he could empathise with.
When you feel ok get yourself on some help chatlines to give something back to other sufferers cos he really thrived on this and it may work for you too.
Thankfully you are doing all the right things you should be doing imho and are staying very grounded through this. And keeping a sense of humour cos you will need it now and of course when you get out of the dark blip, for that is what it is, and through to the lovely rainbow when you see it hunx

[tinkerbell23]

Sunflower you are lovely!! U really are xxx

Just had a read at my local nhs websites advice too- makes alot of sense! That guy has a lovely voice evian!!

Thanks sherr- i do remind myself of that- i just need to resolve my feat though that causes the anxiety in the first place xxx

Tinks, I had panic attacks many years ago, felt my mind had been taken over, I could "see" the edge where "it" wanted to throw me over. It was horrible. But I discovered it was the menopause, I went on HRT and everything stopped, I was back to being me again. Never looked back and haven't had HRT for years now. Hang in there, something will turn up that is right for you, hugs.

[sherrardk]

At least you know there is something wrong, I expect many people don't even know that there is a problem (not that I know sod all about it). I hope it's a temporary blip and that it all gets sorted ASAP, x

[ladyalex]

Maybe not now, Tinks, but perhaps tomorrow when you will feel calmer, it might be an idea to write down what your fear is.
I'm sure you will find that as soon as you write it down you will come up with some solutions/rational explanations of it.
It's a case of getting it from your left brain where it is now...a mess of emotions...to your right brain where you can deal with things logically. The writing seems to help the process.

hey thanks chick!!! You too xxx
