I am currently getting a lot of full blown panic attacks.
I know I am making this worse but cannot stop it.
As soon as I start getting anxious or feel a symptom such as tingling or lightheaded I start feeding it by convincing myself something bad is going to happen. Then all the other symptoms start such as racing heart/ palpitations sweating shivering etc etc.
This morning when I got up I felt I bit off so started thinking something was wrong with me, this made me lightheaded then I started panicking because I was lightheaded.
I tried talking myself down but by this time I felt so dizzy.
I am feeling calmer now and the symptoms are starting to subside.
I just wish I knew how to stop it from getting so bad in the first place.:shrug:
