Panic Attacks and Anxiety

Panic attacks and anxiety are not at all fun to deal with. Sometimes, like yesterday, I did not think I was going to ever be “normal” again. Thank god my Riley Bean is here. I just wish Steve was here too.

I have many of the above symptoms during a panic attack, along with pacing frantically around the house, and only being able to say one to two words (usually, “oh god”).

Watch Your....

"Watch your thoughts, they become your words;
watch your words, they become your actions;
watch your actions, they become your habits;
watch your habits, they become your character;
watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”

Panic Attacks Are Sneaky

Panic attacks are sneaky. I can be completely happy one minute then the next minute go into a full blown panic attack. Death is my biggest fear. I do NOT want to die. But I know that I will die one day and there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

One of the worse things about my panic attacks is the overwhelming, intensity in the feeling is being nothing....of not existing....of once day not waking up. Recovering from a panic attack is getting harder each time. I just want to stay in bed and never leave my house.
