FR- in the CBT program there are wonderful tools. One of them in session 3 is how to challenge your thoughts! I think, the program might help you just by getting you to session 3 lol. It has a very nice guide on how to challenge your thoughts and you can print sheets that help you do it! I bet it would help lol And it is very proactive! As for an interactive tool there are the CBT buddy thing. Click the launch button over the home page of the forums and hope somebody is on! -Diva

Hi How are you challenging these thoughts? I am not sure how else to do it apart from taking each thought and dissecting it.... Does that not work for you? Another tactic I use is distraction and denial lol example, I am going to panic so I tell myself f*** it, forget it, just get on with enjoying the meal. That kind of thing. I must add that sometimes different things work so challenging may be good on that particulat instance but another tactic may be good on another. I think it is a matter of trial and error and of trying as many things as you can. Does that make sense?!

[b]Diva,[/b] It may be normal, but BOY do you feel alone when it is happening. Is there some kind of 'chat' tool we can use here at PC? Otherwise, I am going to post my AIM address so we can help each other out in real time when we need it. Nervous chatter indeed. ~FR

[b]Moochela[/b], It may be normal, but it sure as heck isn't fun. And I am all about 'challenge rounds' ... I live on them. So I think that I am challenging them in the wrong way- and I am looking for new ways. And you are right- 'avoidance doesn't work.' But banging my head against a wall doesn't either. So I guess I need more clarity. Can you help me out?

A thousand thanks to everyone who has replied to me. [b]isabella[/b], Unfortunately I cannot leave my job. It is a bit of a stress-run, but up until a year or so ago I LIVED on stress. Ate it for breakfast. Smoked it afterwards. Then ate two chocolate-covered stress beans just to rub it in. Now it seems like I just can't 'power through' what I used to laugh at. And that is scary to me. And it is causing the Mother Of All Feedback Loops. So I am looking for a solution... and messaging here is one way of getting new advice. So thank you! :)

Hmm i looked it up. Panicking about panicking is normal, in fact it is very normal. The worrying about having another panic attack is part of what makes panic disorder panic disorder. So for everybody out there who panics about panicking don't worry about it ;p There are a bunch of us out there thinking the same thing. None of us are alone in this! -Diva

I think panicking about panicking is normal! In fact we all do it, I am sure! I got to a point where my anxiety was mainly around the thought that I might panic!!! Well, you can challenge these thoughts, they are not abstract, they are real and you are panicking about something concrete. So..... start by challenging the first thought which probably is that "I am going to panic" or something along those lines. I am not sure how far in the programme you are but session 3 gives you very good examples on how to do this. If you can do not go home as this will not help your panic, it may well make you more anxious about going/being at work and subconsciously make you think that if you go home you will be better which is clearly not true (avoidance does not work!). I see from your post that you beleive you have nothing concrete to challenge but you do really. The fact that you are anxious about panicking is in itself something to challenge. If you need more clarity I will be about.

Free Radical, Many days I panic about panicking (what a vicious cycle huh?!)and this will send me home on many occasions. I go to school full-time and when I go my biggest fear is panicking while in class and having to get up and leave. Some days I get through and some days I just have to leave. This is more of a problem for you since you have to leave work but what I do, which has helped, is positive self-talk. Like so what if I panic, I will survive and if it gets really really bad I can just leave. Also, distraction seems to work wonders for me. So if I start to fear that I will panic I try to focus on writing stuff out, text messaging a friend to get my mind off of things, nervous chatter, etc. Well, it is different for everyone but I hope this helps. Good luck! ~Isabella~
