Breathe......in and out and slowly..count your breathing..slowly then close your eyes and focus on the most beautiful place you remember and go there in your mind..keep breathing slowly........how does the place smell, is there a wind blowing, who is with you, what are you doing, are you eating something delicious................what are you watching....................keep breathing slowly.........feel better!!!

ALL IS WELL AND YOU ARE O.K.!

Panic never really stopped, I managed though, made it home before I started to cry - which is a good thing

I called in sick last night...it was just too much...I am so worried about jeopardizing my job. I've used up all my FMLA helping my son. Why can't I just get it together? Now I'm more anxious than ever. Jobs are valuable in this economy - no matter how much I hate it, I should be thankful I have it. When it comes between choosing work and my family, there is no choice, my family needs me. But my family also needs me to work so we can stay afloat. I screwed up big time by missing last night...

i've been having panic attacks at work and in the car as well. It's very hard when you're trying to live a regular life....I've taken at least a half day off or worked from home every week for the last month or 2. i'm so sorry you're going through this and I hope it stops soon.

Missed again last night - the more I miss the worse I make it for myself. Anxiety starting already and I don't have to be in until 10:30 tonight...
I have to find a way to make it to work tonight - I keep telling myself I can do it, just not helping.
I'm scared I'm screwing up big time here, which makes the anxiety worse. It's like a hungry monster, feeding off of everything in my head and growing out of my control
