Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I was feeling really good, but all of sudden i started to feel really afraid after I met with my case manager. I think she somehow frightened me. I don't know whether or not to go to yoga tonight, because I just plainly feel afraid. It would probably help me. I really just feel like eating a lot of food because I feel so afraid. But this actually will not help the fear to dissipate, I know that. I could take an anti anxiety pill, but going to yoga sounds more healthy. My regular case manager is on vacation, and I have a substitute. So it's kind of weird. I guess I will listen to some music. Just felt like sharing. Suzi

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
What in your conversation with the substitute case manager was different from your conversations with your regular case manager? Something happened to trigger your attack. Can you localize it? Can you vocalize it?
Perhaps meeting with the same substitute case manager again and replaying the first meeting might trigger you again. Knowing your trigger(s), you begin to take back control.
In the meantime, is the food craving a symptom? The desire for a certain taste? Carrying chewing gum might be a good substitute for all the food.
It may be that your body is telling you that a neural network in your brain was activated and has dumped a bunch of chemicals into your blood - it sounds like adrenaline could be being produced. Excess adrenaline creates the 'fight or flight' reflex. Was your feeling of anxiety such a 'fight or flight' episode?
If you still have a specific intact neural network from your past, it can be triggered and you get the anxiety. If you can identify the trigger, you can associate a memory with it. By understanding the memory, you can begin to tear down that neural network.
Oh, and enjoy the yoga.
