It's back :(

I have been feeling so much better with my anxiety going on two weeks now. I seen my therapist yesterday and we talked about my depersonalization & shed some light on it a little more. Well... today I woke up feeling good.. drove my kids to daycare and came to work. No problems. I got to work and was sitting here at my desk and the "flutter sensation" in my throat that takes my breathe away reappeared!!! :( I've been without it for about a month or so. I wore the cardiac event monitor for three weeks because of it and everything came back perfectly normal. They said when this happens it is not cardiac related.

Its causing some slight anxiety in me this morning though. Not being able to breathe in is scary!! Its quick passing.. but still scary. Now I am fearing it to happen again... hence the vicious cycle. It hasn't hurt me in the past... It won't hurt me this time. (I'm telling myself) yet I have been checked out medically but have no answers for this symptom. Needing a little help to prevent a full on attack. Thank you.

How are you today?  I was very proud to read your post and see that you are using positive statements to deal with your fears and anxiety.

"It hasn't hurt me in the past... It won't hurt me this time."  GREAT !!!!

If I am at home and start getting into trouble with the "what if?" thinking I will repeat, " I am OK"  I am OK"  aned sometimes I raise my voice like I am letting the old anxiety know that I am the boss and I will not let the stinkin thinkin spoil my day.

Keep on talking with us and know you did great.

Kindly,

Kitt
