Does anyone else get moments of panic...not like a full blown panic attack but just like an hour or so where their thoughts go into over drive and you can't seem to calm yourself. I get different symptoms could be a headache, sweaty or muscle pain from tension. It can happen completely random even when I'm having a really good day. It's like I go manic for like an hour then I'm tired and back to normal.
Yes, that’s what some call acute anxiety. Not full blown panic attack but moments of increased anxiety. They are annoying.
Yeah like it's a mini panic attack I called it. It's really annoying and hard to concentrate at work when it's happening.
It is very annoying and it can be difficult if they hit at work. My psychologist has had me journal or write when they hit. Break it into columns and write what you were doing, what the thoughts were, and challenge them. The act of writing it down and thinking about it can often help it stop. You can also go for a little walk or try distraction. I have been dealing with this problem for almost a year now even though I’ve suffered with anxiety since 7. The more you practice “accepting” it the easier it does get but you will have moments when it is not so good.
I'm in a similar situation I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember but only started having panic attacks in the last 4 months. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. I'll try writing it down like you suggested. I try to go super relaxed when it's happening...that does help a bit.
When you get like that you need to calm yourself by breathing properly.
search for Mindfulness breathing Guided meditation 10 minutes on you tube. Helps you gain control and focus. It relaxes my mind and body and symptoms.
many to choose from. I use earbuds for a better effect.
Theres also meditations for anxiety, panic, sleep, etc
Detachment from Overthinking is also a great one.
good luck 😁❤️
Thanks for the tip...I meditate once a day and am on a low dose of Zofoft. I really would rather learn to fix this rather then drug myself up until I can't feel it. I think by having the panic attacks I can learn to accept them and not be afraid of them rather then trying to cover them up with drugs.
