Bungee cord

[mconlon]

If I had any more "insight" into this condition I'd have a life degree in panic. I'm sitting here as my school pupils work away on the computer. I'm trying to fend off a panic attack by breathing but it is SOOOOOOOOOO hard - all my insight disappears, all my common sense vanishes and like a bungee chord I'm snapped back to my first panic attack and I'm convinced this is something serious to do with heart attack and dying and I just lose it. I am desperate for full medical attention but know I can't escape and I know what they will say!!

I'm 35 in reasonable health and heart attacks are not in my family - can you hear me convincing myself - I just feel so let down, that despite being reasonably intelligent I can't get shot of these!!

I'm ranting now!! I have "died" a thousand times and I feel like I'm the boy who cried wolf.

Damn bungee cord!! Where are the scissors!!

Hi mconlon,

One good bit of advice, purchase a book called MIND OVER MOOD BY CHRISTINE A.PADESKY.
MY COGNITIVE BEHAVOIURAL THERAPIST RECOMMENDED IT TO ME BECAUSE OF MY PANIC ATTACKS .... YOU WONT REGRET IT !

THE BOOKS FOREWORD READS AS FOLLOWS;

change the way you feel by changing the way you think.
Only rarely does a book come along that can truely change your life.
Mind over mood is such a book.
