It sounds like anxiety at work, you don't always have to have panic attacks to have anxiety problems. You say you are getting stupid thoughts, if those are dangerous thoughts then if you are concerned about your safety I suggest you seek help immediately, like calling your T or going to the local ER.

as long as you are safe and your kids are safe just take the fact that the anxiety is not so bad today as a blessing. you have been talking to people about your problems and that in itself can help to relieve anxiety. plus, you recognized a trigger for your anxiety the other day didn't you? that can help too.

if you are worried about your or your kid's safety then seek help immediately though.

When the world seeks to overwhelm us try to keep this one thought running in the background..

I will keep my head where my feet are..

IMHO.

Anxiety is a bit like that. Self perpetuating. I have agoraphobia and generalised anxiety disorder as well as other stuff. I receive cognitive behavioral therapy from my wonderful psychologist and mindfulness helps me. Concentrating, or try to, on physical and other sensations relating to eating or housework and other tasks. If you start to think of other things, you acknowledge the thought and gently push it away and return your mind to the task. It is very difficult to do but it can calm the mind. It takes alot of practice. There is no point telling yourself not to panic. Sometimes I let the anxiety take over and not try to fight it. It will fight itself out. Do you have diazepam for the really bad times? I really feel for you. There is nothing as frightening as panic or anxiety. It is a formidable foe.

I take nothing for anxiety I was taking something that was for heart problems and anxiety but I started to fear about the side effects I pretty much handle my anxiety and panic by myself and my friends help me as well and reading seems to help gaining knowledge about this has help a lot! but I notice everytime I feel anxious or get a spike I check and spend half the day checking my symptoms its a quick fix I should say to reasure myself im gonna be ok! or I meditate which helps a lot! breathing techniques help to! my boyfriends like into self realization and meditatation and sprital healing its kinda complecated to exsplain lol but it seems to be helping
