i'm off to the races it seems... damn it. i got triggered in session with T today... toward the end, and when it happens i start to lose bits of what he is saying... i get more confused... typically by the time i get home i am dripping in anxiety.. ready to panic.
and so... here i am... full blown panic.. i can barely think enough to type. i can't settle it down. Tomorrow i have to be at the court house... starting divorce proceedings.. that's bad enough, you know? That is enough to freak me out... and now... now i am just unable to calm down. i try to cap the anxiety... i do try... breathing, journal, my lists of things to calm me... but it can happen so fast and once it hits.. i'm screwed... can't do anything once it hits a certain point... and guess which point i am at? i've got multiple health problems... it isn't just a matter of straightening out my thinking, some of it is just not in my hands i hate my life sometimes

Control your breathing...do you know how to meditate? It's pretty easy...just sit down and concentrate on your breathing. Thoughts will intrude, but keep your focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Perhaps that is too much effort. But the slow breathing is really important to get out of a panic-type situation. |

So you dissociated after getting triggered? Long term, working on that trigger in therapy will help. Yeah, health problems and anxiety don't go well together do they? Are the beginning of divorce preceedings feeding into it too?

Candika, when I have my really bad panic attakcs, I go into my bathroom and turn out the light (it's the only room in the house that gets compleate darkness) and I meditate. Most of the time it works sometimes it does'nt and i have to take my panic pill (xanax) to help me.
