I don't understand how I get in these ruts. I'm good then I'm not ughhh so today I felt a little dizzy at work then I had the runs then I had like a burning in my stomach went up to my chest and burning in my back. I also had some chest pain zings that come and go I also got nauseous today not feeling like myself, still I don't know why I dwell on my heart. I was driving home from work and all of a sudden I felt nauseous then my hands started to sweat and then heart started to race. I started to count backwards and say anxiety is not dangerous nor harmful over and over again. Then I calmed down I had plans after work so I stuck to them. I was at my friends house and I was eh then the nauseous feeling set in after an hour again I couldn't wait to leave and go home. I finally just about 20min ago took a half of Xanax I couldn't take it no more. Blood pressure good 100/76

Yeah, I know that dizziness feeling. It can hit really quickly after feeling fine for a long time. One thing that I found out makes my anxiety trip the lights fantastic is when I'm having acid related stomach issues. I found that out by accident last year when I was having a a series of panic attacks...just so happened that my diet had been bad and my stomach was very sour. I went to the doc and he put me on Nexium for a few weeks to heal some acid damage; during that time my anxiety went way down. Not sure if that's your situation, but a trip to the doc might uncover something that could be making you feel more anxiety than normal.

Hi PK,

I am sorry you had such a rough day! :(

Great job with using the positive mantra! The more you use these coping skills, the more they will help....

...not only through the technique's calming effect, but also with reinforcement to your mind that you can shut down panic and symptoms by being proactive...thus helping you to feel empowered!

I hope you can have a restful night, and start a much more peaceful/symptom free day tomorrow! :)

With encouragement,

S.C.

P.K- I am sorry you're having a rough go of it. It seems we have switched places today! I actually did okay most of the day, managed to not have one panic attack despite a very stressful eye exam for my 2 1/2 year old daughter (found out she needs corrective glasses for her cross eye) and a very long play date with her two best friends (who are both older than her and extremely hyper). You should give yourself props for making it through the day! You were able to talk yourself out of an attack, which is amazing!! I'm not sure where you're at in the world, but it is finally bed time for me and time for some much needed rest. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you 😘

Thanks Guys!!!! Well yup just all anxiety!!! I'm alive I'm here. I get the heart burn thing once inawhile. I guessed what helped me the most was looking back at my journal and seeing oh I had these symptoms before and I'm ok. I just very much dislike how anxiety messes with your mind. I eat better then ever when I was on mess go figure I drank and ate awful now I have no desire really weird and I lost all the weight I gained from being on it. Appledumpling I'm in Good old NJ. See my problem is I google and I work in the medical field makes it worse but eh hat are you going to do. Sometimes knowing to much isn't a great thing. Happy Friday Guys I'm feeling better today on lunch now just had a salad. I love this site and that we all are on the same page and no one judges you here. xoxoxo
