Dont get sucked in....

[rhar]

Have been suffering debilitating anxiety and panic for the past 8 months. Have recently been using all my might not to get sucked into it.

Every time I feel an attack coming, the dizziness, the lump in throat, the fidgeting, I say to myself DON'T GET SUCKED IN, DON'T GET SUCKED IN, ANXIETY I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN!

It seems to be helping me quite a bit, our minds are powerful and we need to retrain them to enjoy life again!! It's a long road but it does have an end!!

I'm glad what you say to yourself when you're about to have an anxiety attack is working well for you, Rhar. After all, you don't want your thoughts to control you. Instead, you want to have control over your thoughts.

That's awesome! I do the same. I simply tell myself that I am in control, and even though sometimes the panic still comes, it still makes me feel that much better.

I try to do the same but after 4 1/2 years of these attacks, they've pretty much taken over my life.

Are you on meds? If not you should really look into it.

Agreed. It's not what(meds) we like but they can help allot. Alankay

At the moment in my bag of tricks I have Clomipramine, Diazepam and Stelazine.
