Hi,
Does anyone else have different sorts of anxiety/panic
One sort was worrying about .. a journey tomorrow and what if XXX happened, going to the cinema and perhaps feeling trapped , being left alone all day and being too dizzy to stand and there being noone around to turn to..
These seemed to be about events and potential dreadful 'things' happening. These were horrible and could spiral into panic quickly, but I learnt there were things I could DO to prevent and protect against these.
Then there was another sort which was worse I think, as it wasn't surrounding anything tangible but things like ..that I would go mad and the detailed implications of this, that I'd go back to Square one and never get better, that my life was a waste. I remember Mum buying me a lovely cutlery set and me thinking that there was no point as I wasn't likely to be at home to enjoy it for long ...
This sort seemed to go on for days and be much less likely to reach actual panic but was less controllable and was much harder to shift and caused more anguish.
I'm writing chapter 7 now and wanted to see if this was just me and a few others I've spoken to, or fairly widespread.
All thoughts and opinions welcome please
Meg
