PANIC

I'm at work and I have no food today so I'm so stressed that I'm gonna pass out. And on top of that I had night terrors all night about my abuse when I was a child and now I can't focus and I'm super spacey and I can feel so much tension and pressure in my chest I feel like I'm going to explode!


If anyone isn't busy today I could use some grounding. PM me anytime! :((

I'm a diabetic so I did pass out once at work--in front of my boss, too. Is there any way you can take care of that first, and then we can talk about Prazosin from your doctor for your night terrors? Prazosin works for me for those. But is there any way you can get some change from somebody to get to a vending machine for at least a snack? Keep us posted, ok?

I have money but my security job right now is a new building still under construction so they don't have the kitchen open yet or vending machines. So unless I can convince my friends or family to bring me a snack I'm shit out of luck :( What is Prazosin?

Pizza delivery? If there is a food source that delivers where you can meet them at the gate?

Even on the best of days, not eating will knock my entire system, including my PTSD, out of whack. The brain don't work good without quality fuel.

Sure hope you've eaten by now.

I've been chugging water all day. My dad came in clutch and brought me a sub. Anxiety is still like a 8/10 and PTSD is like 6/10. So I'm improving but still kinda on edge

that is such great news! a sub!! i was day dreaming a sub smaich for you : ) that will start to work fast. tell yourself a story about how calm you are. make up a pretend story about how you are so ridiculously calm and how you cannot believe it. only tell yourself things like that for a little while.

do some breathing stuff - like breathe in - arfie suggested - breathe in saying - i can - breathe out - do this.

i like that one a lot

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
