Hi All,
OK]This may seem a bit strange but wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
One of the symptoms of anxiety/panic that Im finding hard to cope with is you know that feeling you get when something scares you. i.e like a loud noise etc.. well I jump heart starts racing feel anxious in my chest. You know the symptoms! [Ugh] Well I can cope with that the thing I am finding though is that it is taking ages for that feeling to go away and for me to feel calmer again. It sometimes last for a couple of hrs. Even simple noises like the postman banging on the door! I try to ignore them (sorry thats my feelings not the postman lol [Oops!] ) but I just get so fed up with it sticking inside me for so long.
It seems that when a non sufferer jumps, once they realise what has frightened them they calm down pretty quick. So why does it hang around me so long?????:(
Anyone else experienced this type of thing? any hints, tips, advice would be most appreciated.[Yeah!]Many Thanks,
Take care all,
