Hi all

It's wed afternoon where I'm at now n this week has not been kind to me. On Monday I had a full blown panic attack I haven't had one like that in a month. I did however force myself to sit through the situation n fought the massive urge to take off n flee. That made me really proud of myself. But Tuesday came n I was just a tad more panicky than usual. I think it's the reminder of the panic I got the day before. Today it's wed and earlier as I left a class I just felt this overwhelming sense of weariness I started tearing up as I walked my school compound. I was walking n couldn't stop crying pretty sure I was getting a few stares lol. Now I'm sat in the toilet where i just had another panic attack sigh I'm so tired.

I don't know to blame it on sleep deprivation or whatsoever the past few nights I definitely wasn't well rested but I got 10 hours last night. I guess it's mostly compounded "trauma" and anticipation causing this trail of unease.

Whatever it is I don't like it :(

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time at the moment we are here for you and understand.

Well done on getting through your panic attack you should be very proud of yourself and it should increase your confidence that you can get through them by using self help. The thing with anxiety it seems to come and go and you can have a few good days and make loads of progress then you will have a set back but this is all part of your road to recovery.

Do you have a school counsellor? If yes it would be worth while going to speak with them as talking with others really helps. Do your parents know of your difficulties? they will also be able to support you and keep posting here so we can also support you.

I know things are hard at the moment but you can get through this and we are behind you all the way.

I'm sorry you are having a bad week and having panic attacks, but good job getting thru it!! Remember all your coping skills and use them daily, even when you are not having anxiety as it is good to do daily to get in the habit of doing them so they are easier to remember when you really need them.

BR,

We all face challenging times. I too have days, or a few of them in a row...when my anxiety is higher than ususal.

Know this is a normal part of the disorder...and that it will pass.

Like mentioned above, draw deep and keeping putting those coping skills to work!

You will get through this.

We are cheering you on!

S.C.
