cant believe its happening again

[mirry]

just took my daughter to school where i always meet up with my friend who knows about my panic problems.
As we left the school there were lots and lots of people walking out the gate with us, i felt a huge panic attack coming on which i couldnt control at all, i tried breathing but i had no rythym i shook all over and just couldnt take another step, i absolutely froze on the spot.
my friend was good to me but i burst into tears and felt so ashamed , wanted a hole to appear in the floor and swallow me up.
now i feeling drained and absolutely devastated.

Hi Mirry,

Oh mate I could have cried when I read your post - I just so know how that feels.

I think the crying is just the release of that terrible fear and the dissapointment of it happening.

I don't have to do the school run now the kids are teenagers but it was one of my flash points too. Just persevere hun as it did get much easier over time and in someways it gave me a reason for getting out each day.

Thanks too about walking in dusk - I'm going to try that!!!

Big hug

Hi Mirry,
Sorry to hear you had a rubbish morning, put it down a blip, then put it behind you and keep on going forward.
Take care

School run seems to be a common theme as a panic trigger.

GOING BACKWARDS? (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3578)

Hope you're feeling better now.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

Hey Mirry,

Boy, do i know how you felt! The school run is a HUGE issue for me at the moment. I am having CBT and it is really helpful.
There have been many many times when i've felt identically to how you describe.I don't know what it is about that school gate but it never looks big enough, for the amount of people going in and out!!

All i can say to you is however awful today was, that is probably as bad as it will get, and although you feel like you've let yourself down today, you didn't.
Try and go again tomorrow thinking that today was just a blip, and you can and will be ok there tomorrow.

Its all easier said than done - I KNOW!!

Good luck for tomorrow,

take care,

Hi Mirry

So sorry to hear about your bad morning.

Getting the children is stressful for anyone, so for you, more difficult than most. Having lots of people around you when you are feeling anxious is not easy - I'm with you on that one. Thankfully my boys are at secondary school now, so jump out of the car, but I can remember the days you have described only too well!

Glad you had a friend with you to help support you. Crying probably helped to release tension, so please try not to be too hard on yourself.

Hope the rest of your day has been a little brighter.

Take care
