I feel the same way today, I'm so shakey and nervous and i've been feeling like this all day. It seems that Monday through Wednesday I;m alright, but as soon as Thrusday and Friday come I start getting anxious and shakey. Could this mean that I'm just anxious about the weekend coming and can't wait or is there somethin else wrong?
I have heard good things from the Positive Hypnosis clinic. I think there are a couple of offices in the Toronto area. I hope the tapes will help. Hypnosis and deep breathing is definitely a good thing for controlling anxiety...
Our minds are a funny thing. I can relate to all of your posts. My mind seems to always do its own thing; making me believe that something is terribly wrong with me, that something is going to happen and it totally immobilizes me. And the more I think and the more things get distorted in my mind, the harder it is for me to get back to any sort of normal thinking. I believe that through my thoughts alone, I have brought on many physical reactions, including the panic attacks and the heart palpitations. I guess one of the best things to TRY to do in such a situation, is to divert your thoughts to ANYTHING that will help you calm down. I'll even flick on the tv or radio just to move my thoughts away from myself even for just a moment. Hang in there.....and believe in yourself. As much as I am afraid of my mind and what it can and has done to me, when I feel a bit stronger I try to remind myself that if my mind has the ability to make me ill (physically and mentally), then it also has the ability to make me well.
i know the feeling... it feels like terror but i am begining to learn that it is just my thoughts and not an actual event... sometimes i feel like my imagination is playing tricks on me and making me think scarey thoughts...
I am going to attempt self-hypnosis right now... its a tape from a toronto based clinic called "positive hypnosis"
i'll let you guys know if it relaxs me at all and if it gives me more positive thoughts... my best friend says that it has really changed her life and she feels so much more confident and less paranoid...
my cbt therapist says that she thinks it is just a hype that is popular right now and cannot really help you ... but i am willing to try anything right now
love

its a 30 minute tape so i will report back after i try it... i just hope that i can relax, i am never relaxed and have a million thoughts running through my mind every minute of the day... ok wish me luck!!!!
I want to reply and let you know I understand. I can go days and have no problems and then bam, out of the blue I have a whopper of a panic attack. Sometimes I feel that death is so close and the only thing that really helps me is to go somewhere or talk. It is an awful awful feeling and I know exactly what you are talking about.
It is the good days I live for.
I have been feeling anxious all weekend. This morning I had a panic attack and I started to dissociate. I spoke to my therapist on the phone but those feelings still are there. I feel so unsafe and something is going to happen to me. Its such a terrifying feeling.
