I love John kabat zinn! Master of mindfullness.

I already went through several 4-week mindfulness based stress reduction workshop. They were very successful but currently, CBT is what I need. The two together = power healing. Im just trying to be patient and do something to help me hold out until my first official appointment on Wednesday. Thank you! though!

I have been there before. Not a fun feeling. I try not to fight it to much. It's hard to do but accepting it and saying it's just anxiety has helped me. I get really dry mouth which makes it hard to talk. Once I calm myself down I am usually ok enough to function but still not myself. Fear impeding death is common with these. Not a fun feeling at all. The best thing I have done accepted that one day I will die. It's beyond my control and I will live life my way until then. Beating my own mind has been one of my greatest accomplishments. Still not perfect but I can now function after being someone who spent every awake moment in panic. I didn't have the luxury of just a attack it was a constant every day. I feel like I can finally live and I hope you get there one day as well with minimum or no anxiety!

I was there before. I went through therapy successfully and for 2 years i really felt panic attacks and anxiety was impossible for me.

It came back when i moved out of my dads and a lot of stressful stuff came my way.

I knew exactly how to control it...but this time i couldn't. No matter what I tried to remember at therapy or practice, they dont stop.

I literally allow it to happen and somehow i go back to being tense and fearful. Im nothing but accepting of it but its to the point where my anxiety keeps going all day and has drained me completely. I feel like a walking zombie.

I know the walkin zombie feeling all to well. Between my anxiety and the meds they had me on I barely felt alive. I hope you can find something that will help you! Have you tried working out? I used that and it really changed my life.

Yes and I feel so HORRIBLE after I work out! It's been one of my biggest issues. I have exercise intolerance from adrenal burnout from so much anxiety.

I start to feel irritable big headache eye ache super hungry muscles achy yawn a million times and HAVE to sleep

I get that I used to be that way as well. Still kinda am at times. The workouts can either be my friend for the day or very enxiety producing. Never know which way it will go.

Heat waving sensations are the worse. My anxiety and panic symptoms seem to have lessened. I guess the techniques I've been trying have been working for me. I still feel lightheaded and delirious in the evening though. And my mind just drifts into depersonalizations, seeing no hope for happiness and success. But then by the night I usually snap back to reality. And I'm back to feeling somewhat comfortable and optimistic. 2 weeks ago I was the total opposite. I mean I was planning on heading to the hospital every day because I was paranoid and hypochondriacal. I panicked everyday non-stop. I think now I'm just learning how to accept and be less afraid of the anxiety and panic. And the symptoms seem to be subsiding. You will get there. All the symptoms you feel, you won't feel for too long. Your mind and body will become desensitized to the things that make you anxious when it realizes it poses no harm or threat. You just have to get out more, do things you love, try new things and be optimistic about meeting new friends and hanging out with old ones. Put the pride and ego aside. Good luck to you!
