panics back and don't know what 2 do

[kg]

hi guys,

i feel really fed up as after a few weeks of no panic, through positive thinking and exercise, it is back. I have had an awful day 2day . I went to work but have felt bad all day. I keep feeling like i am going to faint and feel dizzy. Also couldn't manage much of my lunch as was finding it hard too swallow. I just wanted to burst into tears. I know deep down its panic but i start worrying that there is something else wrong and it has been missed coz of the pa's. I work in an operating theatre, so i took my blood preassure pulse and oxygen saturation while i was at work - all text book ! but knowing this hasn't really helped.
i can't take meds at the moment as me and my husband r trying 4 a baby. I just feel really tearful and frightened and i don't know what to do. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
sorry to sound off but when i am feeling bad this site is one of the few places that can calm me down love kate x:(

Don't worry about sounding off; we all do it.

I'm not having a great day either, but I'm trying to stay positive and tomorrow doesn't necessarily have to be like today does it? It might be just a blip. On the road to recovery there are odd bad days ; doesn't mean it's back to stay.

Keep positive

Hi Kate,

Just put it down to 'one of those days' and think tomorrow is a new day, stay positive and don't allow this to get you down.

Just remember the good days far outway the bad ones and you will be fine.

Take care

the one thing about this site is that you do not have to apologise we all understand. Its a blip, you will get them but as soon as you recoginise its a blip the less frequent they will come. Hope you are over it soon and feeling better again, remeber making positives out of negatives removes any troubles that the negative could cause

Hey Katy,

Sorry to hear about your bad couple of days. They do and will happen now and again, it just makes you appreciate the good days even more.

The symptoms of you feeling dizzy and faint could just be down to the fact that you couldn't eat your lunch and your body was just telling you to eat something.

As you've checked your meds yourself, you know that it's nothing physical that's happening to you. It's negative thoughts that are provoking your body into going into panic mode. Once you add a rational explanation to your bodily symptoms (dizziness, faint feelings), you can dispel your panicky thoughts and remain calm.

Every single one of us has days when we feel like absolute crap. We're only human and we can't keep going like robots without feeling off now and again.

You are doing really, really well, Katy. Keep going, don't give up.

You're awesome.

Kind regards.
