Hi, i'm not sure what you suffer with but I used to go numb when I was having real bad anxiety and panic. My lips, hands and legs wpuld go numb and my head would feel like it was gonig to explode. The only thing that would relieve this was to concetrate on my breathing and I always carried a paper bag with me everywhere I went and would use this, I didn't care where I was because it helped me.Tara x

hello gingerone,

It does sound like you were having a panic attack. Those are the exact symptoms that I get when I'm having one. Have you had this experience before or is it a new thing?

Hi

Agree with Sarah, common symptoms how you are feeling and i am all too aware how scarey they can be.

Are you getting any treatment, counselling at the present?

This is very common indeed.

These are feelings and will not harm you at all

Gain control of your breathing -3 in 4 out - shake your arms and feet about a bit , have a stretch and gently reorientate . yourself, calm yourself down by telling yourself this is just temporary and carry on about your business.

Its a temporary chemical imbalance in your blood brought on by breathing too fast .

No it is not you , it is normal to hav ethese swings whilst you i prove.

If you hadnàt improved at all then you wouldnàt be able to have bad days as theyàd all be the same.

I recall having 2 straight bad days and then complaining about bad days and not recognising that I had had to get better in order to feel the bad days.

Journal and figure out what causes the good and the bad days, there will be signs .

Hi Gingetone,

All people in all walks of life have there good days
and there bad, but because with what we suffer with
we have to work harder through those bad days.
As Meg says if you wright diary for both good and bad
days you will find signs. Maybe on those bad days you
are having alot of negative thoughts.
Changing the way we think is not easy,
but with alot of hard work support and time
anything is possible.

Love Jillxx

May your troubles be less
and your blessing be more
and nothing but happiness
come through your door.
