having a rough night

Dear CW, I understand and the answer is yes, we just sometimes let our guard down and the dam anxiety gets us in a corner and wont let us out, after the breathing try to meditate with some kind of
repetitive prayer or something that gives you Peace!

Sending hopes and prayers and dreams (okay, no dreams, likely not going to bed tonight... this morning? but serious on hopes and prayers) of peace and relief to you guys.

Yes, those do all sound like anxiety symptoms.

Yes, we all need reassurance on that sometimes.

If breathing exercises aren't helping, do you like video games? I've been playing Bejeweled to help me through the healing process of my tattoo. (No more foot tattoos EVA! Most ridiculous after pain of any so far...) Getting a little off topic, but if video games can distract from me from my swollen, red, burning, peppery feeling foot and the ensuing panic that it was infected, maybe they can help distract you, too? Just a thought!

Hi guys thanks for all your kind words. I feel alot better today i had a friend help me through it and she showed me a few good techniques she told me how to identify my trigger explain how it made me feel and then realize what about those thoughts were unrealistic. Then i said those positive things outloud and it helped so much!
