I had one in front of a client years ago. And she was a nun!Do any of you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks?
We all have problems but sometimes an outsiders perception of the situation can be enlightening.
I had a nervous breakdown about 10 years ago. Anxiety and depression… The gift that keeps on giving. I was on Paxil for a short while; gave up the high stress job (and nice paycheck) and don’t regret it a bit. Had a panic attack when auditioning to play guitar about a year ago (had already played bass for them for decades - go figure). I’ve found that faith (choose what you want to have faith in; your abilities, your family, your support system, your deity…) is my only way through. Until I stop pretending and really trust, the anxiety comes rushing back. We are good at telling ourselves lies, and believing those lies. The truth is right there being hidden by those lies. And to quote an overused phrase, “The truth, will set you free”.Do any of you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks?

yes, i have. it's all in your head. one must first acknowledge a negative thought pattern, then redirect one's self to thinking about something different without getting angry or disappointed in one's self. as far as the physical aspects, no, you wont drop dead, you wont pass out - just move around to burn off the pesky chemicals, and shove the thoughts aside so that you can move on. life is 10% the things that happen to you and 90% how you react to them so you can still get an A if you handle difficulties well. as much as "it's all in your head" can come off as a sarcastic cliché, it is not intended as such. just change the way you think. it can take time to unwind a spiral but the momentum builds exponentially. you can do this!
These are the most anxious times in my long memory. Clinical psychologists report anxiety and/or depression are the most common symptoms they treat. So you are not alone.Well it sounds good on paper. And no I can’t do this! 45 years of this shite ping ponging in my brain.
Thx anyways!
It's not a touchy subject--or, at least, it shouldn't be nowadays. Anxiety and panic attacks are very real, even if those pesky out-of-control thoughts in your head might not be grounded in reality; but the condition and its effects are real. And it's not a rare thing, either.Do any of you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks?
