I feel like I am literally losing my mind. My panic attacks are coming back in full force tonight and I am being extremely paranoid. I literally have an urge to hit my head againest a wall and I have never felt like that before, I am honestly terrified.

All of the shut downs have me really on edge and I don't understand why. I was fine with all of it and it just hit me HARD tonight. I am honestly scared shitless and I don't know how to stay strong I have been having non stop panic attacks before any of this happened and right when I was getting relief all of this started happening and I feel like I am not dealing well at all. How am I supposed to stay strong and help my kids feel safe and secure if I cant even hold my shit together.

These irrational thoughts that I have scare the living shit out of me.

Giddy!! Youre not alone. That's how im feeling too! Like all the anxiety hit today when i heard the president say... possibly into July/August? Many of my friends are having more anxiety n panic attacks about these same issues.

All I can say is that you're not alone. Try minimizing news watching...n do some things to help you relax. I binged on Conan Obrien videos on YouTube. I laughed for 2 hrs n i feel so much better! Try this meditation method as well...

Its just nuts! I am feeling trapped and now in San Francisco they are going into complete shut down and cant leave unless its for the store or appts. Its only a matter of time till it happens in my state. I don't know how I am going to handle this. I just don't know.

I just cant shake the "something bad is going to happen" feeling

Thank you for reminding me I am not alone. I know the people around me are afraid as well. They just don't get the physical symptoms and irrational thoughts the same way I do,

Giddy, break it down to right here, right now. Breath, move, I have a route around my house when I need it. Don't look into the future, work on this second. I hope you are feeling a bit better by the time you read this. I DO get the symptoms. You WILL be o.k.
