Hi All,
I've noticed recently, today especially, on days when I'm feeling reasonably nice in comparison to other days, that I start to anticipate anxiety and get scared that I am going to lose control and what not.
For example, I've been studying all day today at the uni library and I probably pushed it a bit because I had work very early this morning. (Been up since 5.30am and its 11pm atm, another early start tomorrow). Anyway, I was having such a nice day today until about 2 hours ago, where I just started thinking that maybe I'm going to flip out.
Mind you, contributing factors were probably exhausting, hospital-style lighting and caffeine.
But still, in said situations, how do people deal with the anticipation of anxiety and/or panic attacks?
Distraction is an obvious one, but I honestly couldn't distract myself. Can anybody give me some tips or provide some useful resources they've looked at themselves?
I'm still feeling like I'm tittering on the edges of a panic attack and i can't seem to get some down time. I need sleep! :lac:
