Just to mentioned that level of panic during and after the workout have been suprisingly decreasing, using the program. Last day, at middle of my workout, suddently I remember that I usually have panic attacks in that situation. I become nervous, next I made a physical symptom check, and have nonne. I get worried, I stranged that everithing is fine, "I´m not used to be like this", "this can not be true", "this must be the silent before the storm". Fortunatley everithing continued fine and I could finished my workout well.
I would like to know if this happen with more people, becoming nervous just because everithing is fine. I so used to my rotine of catastrofic feeling all the time for so may years, that I get also afraid, or with a foot behind, to live in a diferent way, healthy way. I feel that is a place that I never been as an adult person. But I´ll continue fighting for it.
I agree with Ashley, Please don't skip. Read it but do the whole program so you are prepared when you do get that far. There is a lot of work to do first if you want it to work.
The entire program can help you. The sessions on simulating panic I think with be especially helpful for you. Exposure to feeling your heart beat rapidly will help. Have you had a chance to check out the program yet? Any questions so far?
I forgot to mention, that after arriving at home, symptons of losing control rised and I had to take medication. It tooked around 1 hour to feel normal again.
I love to do gym workouts. But when I go from low intensity to moderate intensity, heart starts beeting stronger (I know it´s normal), but it remindes me the feelings when I´m having a panic attack and I associate with that. I think "Oh my God, please don´t start a panic attack again", and I do all the workout (around an hour) being alert. Today I could start and finished my workout program and I felt proud, although I was all hour controling my thoughts replacing with "It´s normal heart beat strong, it´s normal lack of breath, etc...). But when I´m going to home, afraid increase, because I already had a panic atack after gym that lasts 4 hours, and I had to go to urgency. Till then I´m afraid of repeating that episod.
It´s really important for me, to not give up of something I love to do, because of my problem. I would like to know if there is any advice that I can deal better with this specific situation. Thank you very much for your attention.
