Try to find a way to filter those feelings you are having in a positive but constructive way.
I find going for walks a good way to work the negative energy off/out.
Try some breathing techniques or Yoga...that helps too. Main thing is to clear your mind of all the clutter thats binding you and keeping you from
being the best you can be today. ๐Ÿ™‚

That nervous energy/mixed up ball of emotion feeling. That coupled with great sadness, or any other deep feeling that you've bottled up and tried to keep a lid on. Like mixing vinegar and baking soda, the pressure has to go SOMEWHERE. Another analogy, you keep throwing stones into a deep well. Hidden, secret. Eventually the water spills over the top. Going to off like a rocket very soon.

That's not corny at all, it's nice and true. Like that saying, Everyday is a gift, that's why it's called the present."

Ack, my father and sister are prone to panic attack. That is no fun. ๐Ÿ˜ข

I panic attacked last night! I just suddenly felt very disconnected to everyone!

๐Ÿ˜ข My girl friends are chalking it up to PMS lol.
Unexplained irrationality = hormones in their opinion.

I know better nedley, that is just awful. I don't have enough fingers to count how many times I've talked either of them through one. If they get bad, talk to a doctor, they'll give you something to smooth the edges. My eldest has them too. And why is it everything has to do with our monthly flux? LOL Sheesh.

I wish it were as simple as to say it was hormonal. Panic attacks suck, and thankfully they've gone down in severity. I don't really hyperventilate anymore, and they happen maybe 1-2 times a year. But yes, the sudden irrationality bothers me, and it's that point in time that I have to remind myself that I have to simply just do more things for myself. ๐Ÿ™‚

You know yourself best nedley, and I'll not be telling you any symptoms that'll be new to you. Whew! On the reduction in severity and not hyperventilating, I wouldn't recommend anyone medicating themselves unnecessarily, I just know how rotten those attacks are. Some take xanex ( which rather sucks, benzos are addictive ), but there are other meds that are fast acting and on an 'as needed' basis. Your course of action is optimal. You know what's coming and how to distract yourself. Doesn't lessen the suck factor, but you're aware. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm much better now but up until about a week ago I was feeling exceptionally stressed out. So much so I started getting bad acid reflux. I'm not normally much of a stresshead either but I just felt totally out of control with it.

really stressed. papers & projects out the wazoo. friday was my bf's bday and i made it really special for him, told me it was the best bday he's ever had. next day he gets a call from his friend's mother. his best friend overdosed on xanax. he's in a coma on life support. doctors say the "best" anyone can hope for is that he'll wake up an invalid. he just started a new job on thursday and needs to call in if he wants to be there,

cause they're pulling the plug today.
