Well I just did it again. I know when I do it that it's wrong so why do I do it. It just feels so good to hurt on the outside instead of on the inside. I've been going through this panic attack I've been having all morning. I've tried distracting myself and relaxation techniques. Its getting to where I do it at least once a day. And I'm still putting them where no one can see and where I'm able to cover them up. And ya'll are the only ones I can talk to about this.

So this is why you do it..............

Did something trigger your panic attack? Do you just feel really insecure right now?

I have them at least twice a day. I have pamnic disorder and they come on for no reason. I had just dropped the kids off at school and it hit me hard. And I've pretty much always been insecure.

I worked through my anxiety. I am a very different person now. (The same basic person without all the dysfunction!). What I learned about anxiety is that if you grow up in a dysfunctional home where you experience anything but security, you will learn how to be anxious. I got better by working on me and my security. Tying the insecurity and anxiety that I felt in the moment to how I got it in the past and then putting that "right" in my head. It is certainly a process. Rooting out the insecurity of the past and building security in the present. I listened to relaxing music in headphones (actually a subliminal anxiety tape). I did relaxation exercises and yoga at home (I'll explain more if you want). You can work on this...........

And anxiety never comes for no reason. You might not be aware of it but your subconscious is and healing requires making the subconscious conscious so that you can understand and heal.

Thank you. I'm trying to work through it all and I do know my main problem right now but I can't get out of the situation that I'm in right now until I start getting my disability and there's no telling how long it is going to take. I'm not able to work right now so I can afford to be on my own financially. And I'm afraid to be alone as well cause then I don't know what I would do to myself. And I do yoga and exercises at home also. I'm trying to figure out ways to deal with it.
