Sometimes when I've just gottwn a panic attack and all is okay again, my head starts getting these thoughts like "well you survived this one but what about the next one and the next one", "what if it comes back", then my body feels sick and my mind is just dreading things. I seem to be unable to get myself to let go of these thoughts. To break from the cycle of these thoughts. It's like I constantly believe that I 'survived' something terrible when going out and coming home, and that if I go out again then I'm putting myself in terrible danger.
Can anyone suggest how to get out of this sort of circular negative and depressing thoughts. Cause the more days go by the more negative I'm getting.
I use meditation to help! Try doing 20 mins a day, when these thoughts arrise, think nothing more than these are just thoughts, that's all that are! These arnt your thoughts, this is just your anxiety talking! Cbt theorpy will help aswell if you can get that
Have you been to your family Bun Fight yet, How did you get on ???
You need to live for the day and not worry regarding your future, personally I cannot look that far ahead and to be honest I find all a waste of time,
Personally you need to understand your conditions and move on. When this happens you are half way to moving on.
I myself will mix with friends and My Wifes family, I am still wary although I do have obligations for my Wife and Her Feelings. We cannot wrap up ourselves away from from others we need to be able to converse and give our points of view. that is part of life. When I was educating children on road safety I had to be positive in my outlook because if not my negativity would transmit to the student.
When we go out walking or driving we all put our selves at risk, danger so again we need to function and if we cannot that would be counterproductive.
Talk with your GP theraphy can be patchy in different areas. The most important thing for all of us is to be able to mix with others and move on

How does meditaion for anxiety work exactly? Do you just to blank your thoughts?
Hi, it went okay. I only had 1 case of dizziness sitting down but for most of it I was ok and conversed with people. I know it's a waste of time and energy to continuosly worry about the future, but I'm like that I think because I just recently graduated college and I'm getting pressures to find a job while in this state so I feel like I'm not being allowed time to recover. On top of that my parents don't care to understand about my situation all they want is results so that I don't shame them in front of my other family members. I'm asian and in asia the whole success thing is very very important to our parents. Very superficial.
