Panic really hit hard

"B" Rant away! We don't mind if it helps make you feel better. That's quite the day! Just as Diva mentionned, the only thing to do is to keep challenging those anxious thoughts and employ your relaxation techniques to the best of your ability. Don't be too hard on yourself about your immersion therapy, it takes practice! Pat yourself on the back for any progress you make. It's those little victories that get you towards the bigger goal! Also don't be afraid to ask questions, maybe we can help. I hope today is a better day for you. Hang in there. Danielle _____________________ The PC Support Team

Hiya B I wish i had the right words to help you. I am afraid all I can tell you is to keep challeninging your anxious thoughts and to hang in there. They won't be testing fire alarms and smoke detectors forever. So remember this too shall pass! Mu thoughts go out to you. -Diva

Ever since the shootings at Viginia Tech I have noticed that my panic attacks are more frequent. Whats got me confused is that I am not even in the USA. But something about the story caught my attention and now the panic is hitting more frequently and harder. Then in turn my depression increases and I become almost zombie like. I'm just going thru the motions and trying to get thru the day. It also doesn't help that the apartment managers have been testing the fire alarm system for the past 3 days. They also have to come into your apartment to double check the smoke detector. So between hearing the alarm and the panic of waiting for the people to show up my panic attacks are almost feeling continuse, I get over one then the alarm starts and I have another attack. I cannot wait to have this day over with,maybe I will be able to resume my immerssion therapy which I haven't been doing to well at.Since there were people coming in to my apartment,I had to stay in so that I could be here when the entered, since I have already been robbed once before I won't let anyone in without me being here, so I've been a recluse for 3 days. But I'm going to try tommorrow to get outside now that the weather here is getting better and try to catch up on my immerssion therapy.Sorry for ranting on I seem to do that eveytime I post something,I seem to have verbal diahhria and don't now when to stop.So I'm stopping know and thank you for letting my rant on "B"
