Hi Tracie
Thanks for your reply! It helps to talk to someone who kind of understands. Do you live alone now? I went to my martial arts class last night and felt really calm afterwards and stayed in my flat just fine! Tonight not doing so good, but yes i agree with your mantra. We have to accept and try not to avoid!
Hi Rosemary,
I just wanted to let you know that I also fear being alone. In fact, my anxiety/panic began 7 years ago when I moved away from my family, I was like you afraid of getting sick and having no help. My anxiety/panic sort of just all subsided about 2 years back and just recently flared up so I'm also doing the program. I've started repeating this little mantra "I'm willing to live with that possiblity" (that being whatever fear or worry)
Hi everyone
I'm new here and just found the site. I am working through the programme at the moment. I am suffering with constant anxiety it seems at the moment and i've had panic attacks in the last 6 months.
My biggest challenge at the moment is that i fear being ill and being alone. I've always had a phobia about being sick (vomiting) but now it's extended to other things. i've just got myself a new flat but i won't go and live there because i fear being alone at night, mainly because i worry that i will be ill. I worry that it'll be serious and that i might not be able to get help. it sounds really babyish i know and i do want to get it under control. It doesn't help that i don't have the internet at the flat yet because of the cost.
Anyway those are my issues. You all sound like a really supportive group. I hope i can help people out here and maybe get some of your wisdom too! :-)
thanks for listening
Rosemary
