Red has given you some great advice. The program also will help you break this cycle. It is a lot of work and it can feel frustrating and overwhelming but you will be able to get a handle on this.
Sorry your having a hard time of it. The Educators are only here on Friday evening, Saturdays, Sundays and Monday during the day now. Thought you might like to know. They read over posts and answer them when they come back on..So hang in there..You are not alone, you always have the other members in the support who read here but may not answer. Even so they are reading and listening..
By the way sticking to some kind of routine is very positive. I have been working on sticking to a daily routine..Keeping my mind busy with other things helps me break the cycle and it can be hard work especially when I am anxious..Like this morning get in some cardio to help me..
Hang in there and keep going with you life like you mentioned in your post..
I try to just keep going by I keep remembering the feelings and thoughts during the attacks and anxiety and it keeps me in the cycle. I think about it everyday, when I wake up to when I fall asleep but I keep going in my life because I know if I stop I will start avoiding things and things will become worse.
How do I stop this cycle? How do I go bak to normal?
The following make up the three components of anxiety and panic:
• Physical sensations: The physical sensations of a panic attack, by themselves, are not. Without the other two components of a panic attack these sensations can even be pleasant. Some people go out of their way for a rush by riding roller coasters or other thrills but people with panic attacks live in fear of these sensations. Fortunately, you can relearn to experience these physical sensations without experiencing a panic attack.
• Cognitive thoughts: The cognitive component of panic and anxiety are anxious thoughts that people have when they feel afraid. People with panic disorder usually have all kinds of anxious thoughts about what’s going to happen to them when they have a panic attack or what might happen in certain situations. Anxious thoughts very often include a strong urge to escape.
• Behaviors: The intense physical sensations associated with panic attacks are extremely unpleasant. When people have an extremely unpleasant experience like a panic attack, they have two options; they can continue to suffer or they can escape and gain immediate relief. The main behavior associated with panic & anxiety is avoidance.
