I am feeling really anxious these last couple of days, and I dont know what to do. I haven't had a full blown panic attack yet, but I can almost feel it creeping up on me. my breathing problems are back, which I know are a result of anxiety. On top of that my boyfriend is having a lot of health issues all of a sudden...nothing too serious, but he is taking two different medications. I'm a little concerned because I know we'll be doing a lot of drinking this weekend, because we'll be hanging out with his old buddies. Im worried about him, because he refuses not to drink even though it's not a good idea while taking medications...I just hope he doesn't hurt himself. anyway, Im going to DC in a couple of hours, so I won't get to read your replies in time im sure...i guess i just had to let some steam out. I am really worried I'll have a panic attack on the bus ride to DC...it's 5 hours with no escape, ya know?
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

hey Mia,
I am sorry to hear that you aren't doing well. We all seem to go through these times.
I just read that you said that you and your bf will be doing a lot of drinking this weekend.. i have been told that the 3 things to avoid while having anxiety is nicotine/caffeine/alcohol. I
thank you for your speedy responses! I will keep your ideas in mind, deep breathing does work wonders. Jan, im just like you in the fact that i hate it when people touch me when im having a panic attack...i think my boyfriend knows that by now though. I have my ipod packed with all my favorite songs on it and my klonopin is in reach, so in case i need it, i gues i'll have to turn to drugs even though i dont like that idea.
thanks again !
Can you do some deep breathing on the bus ride? I understand your concern for your boyfriend. I hope you'll be eating in addition to drinking, but please be careful.
You've probably already left by now, but I hope you have brought a good book or some fun tunes, and think of the positive. Enjoy yourself. It's a beautiful day. Oh, and stay cool and hydrated!
Thinking of ya,
Kendra
