18 years ago 0 1 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
hi i am the same i have these awfull thoughts that run through my head 1 is when i am eating it is goinh to make me feel ill or have some sort of side afect so i do not put much food in my body, but the worst 1 at the moment is i have panic attacks about th efillings in my teeth at one stage i wanted all of them taken out becuse i could not cope with the thoughts and feelings that went with them. But now every time i think about the fillings i start to panic and i thought that i was going mad cos they would not stop mandy

i think this is similar to my problem. i am aware of the fact that i am having a panic attack and sometimes im very good at challenging those thoughts. But my question is, If i know what brings on the attack why even allow that thought that triggers the attack run through my mind? i think what i need is to learn to reprogram my way of thinking.

I am always good at challenging these outside panic attacks. But, my problem seems to be that I start the cycle of thoughts that leads to a panic attack. Does this mean that I need help not creating the thoughts, or just more practice challenging them to the point where I can defeat them right away?
