Hi All,
I have had a stressful couple of days. My partner & I are househunting at the mo & needed to make a decision on a cottage we saw yesterday. I also had many committments I had to fulfill yesterday. It was a good day, althought I was anxious, I did not have a PA. Today however, is a different story. First of all my dog, who has a terminal liver ailment is not well today. I then had a pain in my jaw which I immediately thought "oh my goodness" what if it is a sign of a heart attack. I then had a PA which made me even more fearful. I am trying SO hard to FACE the panic, to RELAX into the attack. I am trying self talk. I try to tell myself that it is JUST ANXIETY & PANIC & that I do not have a life threatening condition. I am trying to identify & face the triggers so that I can break the cycle of fear-adrenalin-fear. Please please give me some feedback, tell me how you manage, please reassure me that it is JUST PANIC. H-E-L-P
