Hi, everyone...I hope everyone had a great weekend
Okay, so I was moving merrily along this morning...doing some chores and then taking short breaks when I felt lack of energy (like always) and during my little breaks I was sitting down and reading the forum. I ran across a post and I can't remember where it was or who wrote it but it was a very disturbing post. I don't want to say who wrote it or what it was about since I don't want that person to feel bad. The poster had a legitimate problem and I felt so bad for them. Anyway, for some reason, a panic attack hit me while reading that particular post. I don't know if what I was reading made me feel panicky or if it was a coincidence that an attack hit me at that time. Whatever the case, I made myself stop reading and I did my breathing and the attack passed quickly enough but it wiped me out. I had to sit still for a good 20 minutes or so and I couldn't make myself go back on the computer. So, my question is this: Can a person get a panic attack from something as simple as reading??? This has been on my mind all day and I want to go find that post to see if it happens again. I know that sounds irrational and I'm not sure how to handle this. I've never had this happen before and really, it seems so trite as I type this out lol
Also I was wondering how many people always feel so tired and ill in the morning? I notice that most of the day I feel so wiped out and fighting that clenching feeling in my stomach and then toward late afternoon I start to feel better. Just something I'm curious about.
I'm still loving this forum! It's truly a Godsend!
