A long time ago we had a thread here that asked something along the lies of "What does having anxiety and panic feel like to you?"

I thought that we could open that up again, with the addition of a positive thought as well...

"What does a bad day with A/P feel like to you?"

 

                        and

"What does a good day without symptoms feel like?"

 

 

Join in everybody!

I was just thinking about this.....

It feels like my mind wants to throw up, you know when you realize you might be sick and you kinda will yourself not to do it. That's the way a P/A attack comes on for me.

It's a mix of pure normal with a touch of "wow I feel good, this can't be right."

Hi S.C

This is a good thread I remember this one last time round.

What does a bad day with A/P feel like?......

I feel hypersensitive to my surroundings and feel like im living on the edge. The anxiety completely takes over and I get very paranoid and unable to talk myself down. HORRIBLE.


What does a good day without symptoms feel like?......

A good day is when I wake up and feel calm and the stinking thinking is less. I feel I can communicate with people around me without being afraid of what they think off me. A good day is when my CBT is working and I feel more in control and my compulsive behavior is less and more relaxed about my daily routine. MANAGEABLE

Take care

I love this thread.

A bad day feels like I am drowning and there is no lifegaurd; why me and why does it just stike me down for no reason ?  I cry and I pray that I will get better and there will be no more bad days.

A good day feels wonderful, like I have just won the lottery and I am queen of my world. A good day feels warm and fuzzy,  like there is hope and like I can tolerate the bad days because they don't last forever.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

feels like the moment somebody jumps out at you and your heart skips a beat and you stomach drops through your butt, only it lasts all day.

A Bad Day - Feels like I just drank a huge cup of Cuban coffee mixed with acid. The uncontrollable moving and spazzing plus the insane paranoia of death and disease.

A Good Day - Feels like Im in control. I am at rest. When I wake up anxiety free and stretch in my comfy bed. Im happy to start the day because I know good things are to come. I feel warm and appretiate the sensation like I do trying to lay in bed another 10 minutes. Im having many of these days lately. =]

bad day... desperate. Feeling like I need a tracheoctomy and appendix surgery at the same time

good day - a big hug that keeps you warm and safe.

A bad anxiety day = like i want to excape my own mind, i cant think right, i cant see right, im afraid of everytihng, i feel a nervous buzz through out my body all day, im depressed, and quiet, and dont want to talk or listen to anyone or do anything, im afraid im going to just stop breathing and die, or that im going crazy and suddenly my brain is going to snap and i wont remember anyone or anything and be comited to a hospital, i feel like im in a nightmare and nothing is real.

a good day = i feel so clear headed and calm and enjoy talking to coworkers, and my nerves feel calm and no worrys, and im breathing okay, and i dont fear anything.... the colors outside are clearer, and pretty... like im seeing and feeling everythign for the first time. *ahhh*

A bad day for me is like everything is just "WRONG" I feel wrong my body feels wrong, it tingles it buzzez and i just fell like i'm "not really here" The fear of death the fear of something is so wrong with me i might just cease to exist

A good day for me is like the day my son was born, nothing exists except happyness and the ability to function and that nothing in the worls matters or is as good as feeling so FREE, thats the best way to describe it I FEEL FREE!!!!

Love the answers that are on this thread!! They all make sense :=D xxx

Bad day - Feeling like I'm gonna die 'this instant', totally helpless like a bird flying in the sky whose wings have suddenly disappeared...full of fear and worry for my family a d what they'd do without me...

Good day - Feeling ALIVE, that there is actually some hope somewhere...


Awesome thread btw.

THis thread is so great, i can relate to every single one!!!! they are all worded so perfectly. they are the same feelings but described so differently but, i can relate. its awful we go through this, but its so comforting and re-assuring that we each feel the same feelings, and were are NOT ALONE, that has made my anxiety even a little less.... to know non of us are crazy. after all, a crazy person doesnt know thier crazy, so we are actually more sain than most!!! (((hugs))) to you ALL!!!! Today is a good day for me, i woke up this moring with a "good day" feeling, and i do attribute it to this post and all you wonderful people! thank you!

bad day- it feels like some one has taken the good out of my life and i can stop "what if'ing" trying to get it back which keeps me scared because i know i will never find it so i keep moving and jumping at every sound, know i am seeing things that aint there, and cant stop the crying cause i want to be "normal " again

the good- feels like i am a new flower opening up for the first time to the beautiful rays of the sun knowing nothing can go wrong
