What were you thinking or worrying about or focusing on when it started?

Often times taking something to calm down and refocus my energy is also really helpful. I have had pretty bad ones, so much so that I decided not to spend a year abroad b/c at the time I did not know other people had them and was afraid of being away and having one. I agree with what has been said, that sometimes they happen when my defenses are down and I am feeling calm. It's almost like a reminder that I always have to be on guard. In those moments I just try to focus on what is immediately in front of me and be in the moment as much as I can. Keep us posted. |

Loser37,
I totally understand. I too have terrible attacks when I go to service. As I am a pretty religious person, it really is a HUGE part of what I do on a weekly basis. I found that by going to church when their is no one there, helps me. Its like taking baby steps with your thought process. Then if the church is really full I stay in the crying rooms, or in the hall. That way I know if something happens, not only am I close to an exit, but will not embarrass myself. Hope this helps.
