I've been doing pretty well these last two days. Most of today was also good but I had made plans last month with a friend to go to her son's high school for some play. Then I wasn't getting as sick as I had gotten so I said yes.
My T and doc thought it would be good for me to get out as I've isolated myself. I had this anxious feeling this afternoon that I shouldn't go but went anyway. On the drive there I found out that It was going to be 4.5 hours long I wasn't expecting that. Two hours in I couldn't do it anymore. All the noise and loud music and just so much stimuli, teenagers running around, it was too much. I thought I was going to go into a panic attack and told my friend I had to go. She wasn't able to leave so I had to take the subway. I was totally out of my body, it was weird but what scared me was that I was on the platform waiting for the train, I could see myself over and over again jumping off the platform and I don't think I was suicidal. I'm freaked right out, anybody know what happened? Please help __________________ The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow Don't give up |

my abnormal psych teacher would say..perfectly normal thought....like driving off a bridge or the idea of stabbing someone who is close by when you see a knife lying there...they may be morbid thoughts but everybody has them....in your heightened state of anxiety you were probably having the same thoughts in a derealized state. I wouldn't get too stressed out about it. you were going through a lot....take care.

Yeah, just get some rest and try to relax, its ok, you just had an episode, you will be just fine.
Anxiety is a pain, try to focus your attention on calming, soothing thoughts, and avoid worrying, fearful thoughts for awhile. Worry just makes it worse, no need to get anxious about an anxiety attack.  when you wake up, watch a really funny comedy! __________________ Bipolar 1 ~ 300mg Lamictal, 4mg Ativan

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
