Dave, is this your first experience of it? I remember the 1st time I started having mental health problems, that was by far the worst, this is because you have no experience dealing with it and it feels your life is over. The 2 processes to work on are humility and patience in tribulation. Your hardest days are important as that is where your character is being toughened and refined (in the fire of affliction) Keep in touch if you want, I have plenty of experience being in the fire
I have had anxiety for year just its been worse and worse the past year where i have it 24/7 theres not mind over mattering it i need to solve it on a chemical basis and lifestyle. thats how bads it got
Hi Dave , I had panic attacks for 4 months , 24/7 and I got past it with some help from reading a self help book and a friend told me about a meditation-distraction exercise that I used to tune down the panic. And I would exercise to make me tired so I could rest without thoughts.
Although these things helped me endure , but I still wasn’t cured until I understood what had upset me and why it upset me and then I had to rationalize it and think differently about it.
in such a way that I could accept it without hurting me.
Basically it was someone who I cared for who met someone else but didn’t say and made me feel like it was me doing something wrong to hurt her emotionally.
I cared for her and could not handle the thought that I made her feel so bad.
It put me into panic attack for 4 months , non stop , until the day that I learned that she was seeing another guy right after she broke up with me. Someone she met 2 weeks earlier.
The moment I knew that she had put blame on me in order to break up, I no longer felt bad for her and my panic left like a train leaving the station.
I wasn’t hurting anymore.
I realized she wasn’t nice to do what she did but some people don’t care.
She definitely didn’t love me and I can’t change that.
I was back to normal.
I could not deal with the thought that I had hurt her emotionally and when I realized or believed it wasn’t true , then I could get past the panic and go back to normal.
my Panic attacks can made me lose concentration, make your heart pound , gave me dry mouth, ruined my appetite and made body parts go numb.
Understand …You’re not the only person . Almost everyone will feel it in life.
It’s about changing your thought about about whatever is causing your panic. Find a reason to believe differently. Change your thoughts to something that you can accept !
When things are beyond our control we need to accept what we can’t change or it will consume us !
I hope this helps you.
Some people have begun years of panic over over- thinking a thought after drinking too much coffee.
They let it worry them and dwell on it from then on and can’t stop thinking non real thoughts. What if ?
thoughts …things that probably could never happen in real life.
Find peace ! Think paradise and skip caffeine .
It really wont help you .
