Have you begun reading through the program? There are a few sections that may be particularly helpful, including section 4 and 5, Negative Thoughts and Challenging Thoughts, and section 12, Relaxation Techniques (which may help with your feelings associated with asleep).
Members, do you have any suggestions? Has anyone experienced this?
I am also on the Panic Center too, but figured, I'm more depressed recently, so I am on here. Thank you for all of your support.
Recently I've been having a lot of spontaneous attacks too and it happens when I fall asleep. When I had my relapse, and when I was at my worst, I was terrified to loose consciousness so I was afraid to fall asleep. Now, I still have this trait at times and I get this dread feeling when I fall asleep, like I'm forcing myself not to.
I wanted to go buy something today at the store... but I am not feeling up for it. And my family offered to go buy it for me, but I don't really know the type of thing I really want, I want to think about which is best etc., so I said I don't want them to buy it for me and it is really frustrating. I wish I can just drive out and do things on my own again. I am always stuck inside and feeling guilty.
Welcome to our community. This is a great first step! We do know where you are coming from, we can help and we can definitely support and assist you. Use the diary to write in everyday, it is an important tools for progression and to help pinpoint areas to work on.
Use a personal journal to write in everyday as well, with detailed thoughts and emotions. No one needs to read it but you and you can keep it safely hidden. Start slow and make some goals for yourself, use the depression test to discuss with your doctor to come up with a plan that is right for you.
Do post often and use the advice and support to help!
I started writing my life story, but became too paranoid that someone I know may read it and so decided to write something brief instead. I have GAD and am agoraphobic and I have no one to talk to(recently divorced) and I feel guilty all the time relying on my family now. I am easily irritated at my family and feel guilty for that too. I don't know what I want to do with my life, and everyday just passes by quickly and dully. I just wanted to talk to someone about it, without having to have to feel guilty about it. Thanks for reading.
