Not a good day when you wake up dizzy with chest pains and sweaty palms. I wish I could just have some good days. Second day back to work after 2 weeks off. It kind of helps to keep my mind busy. Going to call my therapist today and see if she can advise me on what to do from here (seeing ssri's are giving me bad side effects). Im so tired of feeling this way, just want to be normal. I'm going to try and think positive and get thru the day.

Hi

Sorry to read you have woke up dizzy with chest pains that has happened to me a few times and it is not a nice feeling. Glad you are going to phone your therapist for advice let us know how you get on and well done on getting back to work that is a big step you should be proud.

Nikcin,

I am sorry your day got off to a rough start but now I would like to ask you to put that behind you and start over.  smilewinkgrin I think a bunch of us should get together to write a new anthem - "Im So Tired of Feeling This Way".

Calling your therapist is a wise move and do let us know how the day goes.  Keeping your mind busy is always good therapy so congratulate yourself on returning to work.

Kindly,

Kitt

Home for lunch, its been a little rough today. Waiting for the workday to be over. Thank you guys for the support. Waiting for the therapist to call back, hoping she has some good advice for me what to do from here. Trying to breathe and relax, not as easy as it sounds.

No it is not easy...that's for sure! Keep working on those skills though, they do help!

I had a 'dizzy week' recently. It is probably my worst hated symptom! It messes with my mind and sense of control, and makes me think all of the 'worst case senarios' in regards to my health anxiety.:(

I know that it is anxiety related...but it still challenges me! My sympathies are with you as I know how this feels.

I have felt better the last couple of days, and you will too...it just takes some of those coping skills and patience!

I hope that you get in touch with your therapist soon and start to feel better.:)

I hope your day gets better! I woke up this morning pretty anxious myself, it took me 3 hours to calm down. I too just wish I could be normal, but sometimes I think that 'what if this is normal?". What if what we think is normal really is not normal and who we are is actually normal? Weird thought I know, but the more I have investigated on anxiety and the way people think, I start thinking that what is normal is what the person thinks is normal. If that makes sense. Anyway I got off track. lol. Again I do hope your day gets better, and it will. Panic attacks always go away, they may come back but they always go away at some point. :)
