Feeling really bad

[blackie]

Hi

I am having a really hard day today and i dont understand why. I keep having horrible thoughts running through my head and my palms are all clamy. I had a panic attack that hit me out of the blue and i just dont know what to do with myself. I feel really out of control. I dont understand why as i have been really careful in what i eat and drink, have been exercising and have been going out the house (i am agoraphobic). I went out twice yesterday. I woke up fine, did some exercise and then when eating lunch just got hit by a panic attack. I just cannot seem to calm myself down now. I just dont know what to do.

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm having one of those days too. I always feel a bit "cheated" when there's no real reason - if I'm going to waste my time and energy feeling anxious and panicky then I at least want a reason why lol! I'm just trying to focus on the positives at the moment - on what I CAN do. No point focussing on the anxiety (although easier said than done!) and I keep reminding myself that I've been sitting at home just like I am now so many times before and nothing bad's happened, so why should it now? I HATE this illness, as I'm sure you do, and sometimes I imagine little anxiety bubbles in my mind and when I feel anxious I pop them all and imagine the anxiety disappearing - that probably sounds crazy but hey, if it works...!
