Stuck in my mind.......

Hello everybody, I have been feeling off today. I have found it hard to concentrate, restless and irritable. I just have these awful feeling of hopelessness and my muscles are tense. I have tried Ativan, breathing and PMR exercises, but I can't seem to shake it off. It started when I woke up, I was find for an 1 hr, then I started feeling my mind with a lot of things to do and worries and I just have a mental fog. I also had a short lasting panic attack. Anybody have some helpful advice?

SB,

I am really is a sorry that you had such a rough day today. :(

I find the use of positive mantras to be really helpful to me when I am struggling.

Using phrases to counter your fears is very powerful. Whatever your concern is...health, losing your mind, never feeling good again...ect...

I usually find relief with these affirmations:

" I am alright... this is just anxiety making me feel this way."

Or

"This is a temporary feeling that will pass. I have been through this before and been fine."

Use whatever speaks to you! I hope that you are soon feeling better...and that tomorrow is a great day for you.

S.C.
