Gina, I am praying you are better! I have found lately that yelling screaming and cursing at the panic helps! I get angry, which is NOT a bad thing, you are stronger than the panic get mad and tell it to get the heck away! Believe it or not it has helped me. Sending prayers, Debbie.
Gina,
You are doing really well, all things considered! I know how you feel and we can beat this and we will beat this. Two steps forward, one step back. It happens. But, at least you went to work. You tried your hardest. You are not defeated because you made it. If you had to go home, it happens to everyone. Even people who don't suffer from what we have. And your mom was there for you. That is the only thing that has saved me from losing my mind on many occasions. Take heart...you will be ok and get through this. Unfortunately, we just have to overcome the little setbacks along the way.
Hey Gina!
I think we all have days like that! I know I do! One thing I've learned to help get through those moments is to tell myself, "Ok - you know you always feel like this when you panic and that's all this is. You've made it through this before and you'll make it through this time." I have to tell myself this many times until I start calming down, but it helps.
Hang in there Gina!
Sorry you had a bad day. But every once and awhile, you need a day away from work. I know what you mean about feeling better the minute you left. I get like that too. I guess you feel like you have "escaped." It makes me feel guilty though. Or like I failed. But everyone needs a "mental health" day, right?
So sorry you had such a yuck day. Sometimes for me it is also a change of my environment that makes me feel better. There are days I can not be alone and do better at work and then vice versa.
I think we are so hyper sensitive to our bodies, Gina. It is always being on HIGH RED alert. It drives me nuts.
Example, my legs were killing me. Then I noticed these little broken blood vessles on the inside of my knees and freaked. My husband had to remind me that I worked out on a machine at the gym right where those spots were and I worked hard. DUH!!! see, I could not figure that out with reason, I had to have someone point it out to me.
Hugs to you.
