Anxiety Attack Right Now
| Wed, 10-19-2005 - 1:04am |
Hello all its Bee, I am going through a anxiety attack right now! Wow the first in some time at least not one this intense. I was just getting ready to go to sleep and as I was lying there I felt tingleing all over, I didn't pay much attention to it, then wham the heat started to rise from my toes right up to my head, the fear was instant and the heart started to race, and my breathing became out of control, had to get up right away and the first thing i do is get out my journal and start writing all the feelings i'm having, i was very shakey and writing very fast, the intenseity of it started to calm down and then it raised again, I blew into my paper bag that I leave in my nite table drawer, to slow down my breathing and as all this is going on I am positive self talking, it is a fight to to tell your self that it is panic and nothing else, I have been through this way too many times and no better. Anyway i went ot the bathroom and decided to come here, this is what got me through last winter and I find writing helps to calm me down and puts my mind in another place, think about it if you consentrating on what you want to write then your not thing about whats going on with your body!! I am starting to feel better now somewhat,still abit shakey and tense and really bad heartburn, but I will get through this. I took a clonazepan too 1/4 of it which is what I take twice aday anyway, so i'm not too sure what brought this attack on, I guess it could be many things I did have a pretty crazy summer plus working 2 jobs and sooo much personal stuff going on, it always catches up to me and i have been thinking about it alot too, with the winter coming and being finished work the end of the mth , maybe I brought it on myself, maybe I needed thsi release of stress, sometimes a attack is a good thing, it helps to relieve sooo much tension , at least I think it does, not that I want it to happen often, part of me is really upset about it, I haven't had a attack like this in soo long, last winter anyway, not one this intense, but it didn't last long thank god. well I am rambling i know , but this helps me so please just bear with me everyone. For those of you that don't know me i have been a member of the board for the last year, just haven't been around much, I have had anixty for 19 years now off and on, last winter was the worst for me, i was free for 7 years then out of the blue it hit and it took me all winter to recover and this board was my saving grace. Anyway i think the med is kicking in now i'm getting tired, and I have to work in the morning, early so I better try to get some rest.

Hi Bee, I've missed chatting with you. I hope you are now feeling much, much better. It sounds like you've been very busy, maybe you just need to slow down a bit. It sounds like you're doing all the right things, let us know how you're doing.
