I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have a sense of humour either...It's a hugely useful way to lessen anxiety and it's free!

I’m finding that the more I get out of the thought loop, and the thoughts lessen, I get hit with the panic attacks and high anxiety instead, is that normal? Can the constant thinking suppress the anxiety in some way does anyone know?
Distracting yourself when you're anxious is a good tool. Reading/watching a program you're interested in/doing gardening/puzzles/work, something that focuses your mind on something else.
Sometimes it's easier to do than others, but worth persevering with.
But you know this PHR.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve done to be fair.
I just meant that when I had the constant thoughts, it almost suppressed the panic attacks, but I was wrapped up in thoughts / monitoring all day. When I manage to stop doing the ruminating / thinking, I get hit with panic attacks instead. Just wondered if that made sense to anyone.
Yes understand. Sometimes they happen with no trigger.
That’s the confusing one for me.
Really shook me yesterday, and I have a day rattling round on my own today which I’m not looking forward to.
