Trying Self-Talk

Hi Vickers, I am getting through my monthly as best I can, I feel like I am going back to "sqaure one" like I was 4 years ago, I am waking up at night panicky and first thing in the morning. I guess my two main fears is that I am not going to recover this time, and I am getting old and I am going to contact or I have some horrible illness, I have to start getting better, I cannot go backwards instead of forwards. Right now I am shaking and I do not know why?? I wish I could just suck this fear out of my body, I am trying to hold on. Hope to hear from you soon. God bless, Debbie.

Hey Debbie! Don't worry about starting your period. I know you worry about the blood flow but just remember, you will not bleed to death. Every time your panic monster tells you that you're losing too much blood, keep telling yourself this is a natural function of the female body and this blood is reserved for this particular purpose. You will be ok! ;)

Hello, I woke up this morning and my monthly has started, that always sends me panicking because of the heavy flow, cramps and nausea, but it may mean thats why I felt so bad emotionally and physcial the last few days. I am home alone and trying to think "good thoughts" Its hard when I have become such a negative thinker but I am giving it a try, I always worry I will bleed to death and like Vickers said it will not happen and its just an irrational scary thought. I have a relaxation tape I can use, I hope it helps, if your there Vickers any good thoughts would help from you, or anyone, I am trying so hard to beat this, afternoon is my bad time, if I can get through the afternoon I will be alright. I had a psyhcristist {spelled wrong} call me I missed her call because I was sleeping, she sounds good, I hope she can help me, my goal is to get my life back and be "functioning normally" THis has gone on so long it has become habit and that is NOT good. Hoping to hear from all of you, please send prayers. God bless, Debbie.
