Sorry to hear you had a tough time. I think it is great though that you can chill and sit back through this stuff now. Talk about a great skill to have! So how are you now? Is the light getting brighter again? I sure do hope so. You bring much light to this forum, wish I could send it back at you!
But I get what you mean about chilling or sitting back. I think it helps it get easier. Anyway, not sure I am making sense lol. I am tired as sual lately hahaha. Hope you have a great night!
Yea, I had an anxiety attack last night. I get these on occasion, much less frequent, and not half as powerful, mostly because I stop my thoughts from anything that could further exacerbate the situation, but that doesn't mean they don't have the same "confidence shaker" after effect. But I'm trying not to dwell on it, and that seems to help. Just let it happen and pass.
The light definitely grows dim, but I'm at the point where I can sit and chill if I see no light. Well, the chill part I'm working on, but I don't mind sitting back from time to time.
Well done for not having had a PA for 2 months. That's amazing. I still have them once or twice a week. Even though perhaps they could be more described as anxiety attacks. The intensities are way down and I haven't had a full blown PA for a long while I guess. Still difficult the light at the end of the tunnel though...
Though honestly, even though I appear to have it all together, I'm not quite there yet. I still have anxiety from time to time...but I do have a path which I'm going for. That seems to be the skeleton key to my problems with motivation, and anxiety.
Sorry I just started reading your post tonight. You confused I don't think so. To me you sound as if you have it all together regarding the disorder and are able to comfort other members with your insights and compassion.
I guess this really would be a success story, since the anxiety has less control over me. Thanks for pointing that out too! Boy, you're just a sunshine in my day today Brenna!
