I think I have to go to Doctor

Hi Debora,

First of all congrats on making a trip to the doctor's. 

As anerol suggested, if you are experiencing the feeling of skipping heart beats or chest pain, please speak with your doctor about it.

In the meantime, as the weekend approaches, what can you do to mitigate the anxiety you are feeling? 

We are here for you...let us know how tomorrow goes.

how do you handle getting the scared dying feeling only at night?

Debora,

I'm so sorry to hear about the fact that your husband is in danger of losing his job and that your son is having some difficulty at the moment. This must be such a trying time for you. In addition, these circumstances may well be increasing your stress levels. 

What can you do to gain control over the panicky feeling when you feel frightened about your health? Going to the doctor to get checked was a good first step. Are there any other steps you can take?

Debated where to put this....

anerol,

I agree that our individual social foibles make us more courageous over the long run. It's great that you've acquired such a perspective with respect to embarrassing moments.

You are also right that life goes on...speaking of which, what will you be doing this weekend to celebrate the fact that you faced your fear (by going to the park)?

Please keep us posted.

Exposure Work

anerol,

Using questions to counteract the anxious thoughts is a great tip, indeed!

eles7,
Have you tried using questions to counteract anxiety? If so, how did it go?

Having and Attack

Hi Debora,

Sunny has provided some great suggestions (using the 10 questions method, rest, etc.) How would you feel about trying one of these ideas out? Would you consider giving it a go and letting us know how you feel?
 
P.S You are definitely not alone! Feel free to vent anytime

My Fears

Galadrien,
 
Sorry to hear you had an attack. Was there something specific that happened at 4:00 to bring it about? Are there any external circumstances that could have precipitated it?
 
Hope you're feeling better!

A Little Less Pain

Debora,

Glad that you're trying to hang in there and think positive! Looking forward to hearing the results should you decide to go to the ER and have it looked at.

What are some relaxation activities you can partake in in the meantime?
