Hi Everyone!
Last night I had a pretty bad panic attack and I am running on 2 hours of sleep and now getting ready for work. I suffered from panic attacks when I was younger, then they stopped, then I got them again, and stopped. I went through another phase where I was getting little episodes, and those seemed to go away....and now they are back full force!! I know we are all in the same boat and I really would of liked someone to just talk to last night. Therefore, I hope by the use of this site, we can all be here for one another!! It is hard to talk to someone who doesn't suffer from anxiety, because they don't..well can't ...fully understand how we feel. We can help each other....
I am curious if anyone has heard of the tapping method?? I found it while searching you tube. I was desperate to try anything..and I followed this guy as he went through this tapping ritual. You tap certain trigger points on your body repeatedly and repeat phrases until you calm down. By doing this... is how I actually got to sleep for the two hours that I did. I don't know if it works cuz it takes your mind off things and it bored the heck out of your brain from repition...or what..but hey it helped me. Anyone else? If your curious..try doing a search on youtube by typing in something like " tapping to releive stress"..make sure you chose the video with the guy in the red shirt...he is the best one! LOL :)
Anyhow, I feel like I was hit by a truck and I don't know how I am going to get through work. Let me hear from you.... what triggers you attacks? symptoms? how long do they last? fears/phobias? how it affects your life? etc... I sure got stories I can share, how about you??
Take care everyone...
