hi all,
this sounds really wierd but do any of you imagine being scared, like imagine the panic rising as if you are doing it to yourself, like testing yourself or am i just nuts?

Yeah!! Don't worry, I do that to myself too! It's a negative thought thing and you can re-programme youself to stop doing it :)

We mostly do this when we are learning to recover and are at the point when we can test ourselves - just to be sure that it is your thoughts that causes the panic to rise.

PHEW.......I love this site.....i thought i was the only one.

I am always testing myself and sort of trying to bring on an attack. I know it is clearly a very stupid thing to do but i sort of like the power i have sometimes......weird i know.

Glad i am not the only one then.

In hypnotherapy this is one of the techniques I have been encouraged to use. Both in a trance with ny therapist and when I put myself in a trance I have to imagine being in the situations that induce the panic and fear. Eventually the feeling of panic starts to subside

Wow, I'm glad u posted this juju.

I've been feeling ok for a few weeks, but then last couple of nights was a bit edgy, feeling anxious. I started to wonder if my body had got so used to the dose of meds that I need to go up a dose again like last time. But last time I had a v bad panic before seeing my GP.

Today I felt dizzy after standing up too quickly (I've read your link now Meg). And yes I did think uh oh its the panic coming back. Now I feel like I'm looking over my shoulder waiting for it to happen.

I will try to get back to that positive thought pattern of looking at how well I'm doing instead of the other way around.

Thanks.

Lisa.

god thanks for all your replies, and thanks meg for the links.
its good to know its not just me, but you know what its as if i am taking back control and have realised just how much neg thinking i have been doing and im so aware of myself now that i turn the negs around and i replace them with happy images of how i was and say a few words to myself and this is really working the negs are def calming down, i suppose its just about retraining the brain maybe? all i know is its all about the thoughts its never anything else not places/people- nothing.
the only thing ive got to shake off is that feeling of apprehension every now and then as if something bad or scary is going to happen like im waiting for it any tips?

Hi Ju

I went for some EFT lessons last week and found it useful, i know what you mean, you are not nuts at all, i found myself imaging panic today when in the car, i used the teqniques i had been taught by tapping my forehead and hands and my thoughts changed, Carl one of our members is doing a chat next week about EFT its on the Announcement Section of the forum, you might find it useful too.

Love

Andrea

hi there, i know almost exactly what your talking about...when im not in a panic, im always looking out to see when i might panic, and when i went about 3 weeks without having one, (this is gonna sound nuts) i tried to give myself a panic attack! i thought that prehaps i could control when panic turns on or something. its almost like when something good has been going for you for a while, you anticipate when IT is goona come back and bite you in the A#! but know i always imagine having PA's in certain enviroments. nothing to worry about lol. i hope you get better!

hugs
