Anxiety Self Help

DATE: Feb 22 2011, 6:53 pm / MOOD: Sad

Life is going ok then it goes better and although it has its ups and downs, you feel that you can cope. Then you feel the corrosive feeling, where the outside starts to crumble and although you are still whole, it eats away at you. What do you do? you have people who depend on you, but its getting harder and harder and theres no one to blame but yourself. With rust, there are no plasters, you have to eat into it more before you can repair it. Is it possible??

I just wanted to leave a blog to offer some sort of hope to others who feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

My anxiety/panic attacks started 7 years ago. At the time I had 2 small children and I could not see an end to everything that  i felt.  I was a failure but could not do anything about it, I could not even pluck up the courage to kill myself as I did not want to leave my children.    That was a good thing I can see now.  My husband has been as supportive as he possibly could although there has been times when I know that his understanding has gone out of the window and he has been very frustrated with me.

I have tried aromatherapy which i still use, hypnotherapy which is good for relaxation, tablets, and cbt.  Looking on the internet and talking to people on this web site has helped also.

I now have a job and my husband works away,  I still am on the tablets and I still get the anxiety attacks  (not as Bad).  Just saying Yes to everything instead of No  and getting over small hurdles leading to the high ones is the best therapy.  Push yourself and even if you get there and have to come back, keep going.  I still find it hard and who knows what the future holds but who cares as it has not happend yet.  Grab each life line as it comes to you.

You are probably reading this and thinking  yeah yeah yeah  but we all have it in us and it is there all of the time, we just have trouble finding it sometimes.

Sometimes, i can cope with it and somtimes i can not.

Today I can not cope, I went to the vets with my guinea pig, I took my 2 children.  The vets ran late and I started to panic, I controlled it to a point and tried talking to a lady in there but to no avail.  In the end I had to leave and reappoint.

I feel a failure especially when my children tell me that its ok they couldnt blame because we did have to wait for a while.

I drove to my sisters and i was so panciky i was hyper- venterlating and i got the point where i was going a bit funny !!

I now feel a bit low and a BIG FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wondered if antone has tried any of the 'Anxiety cures' on the ads that come up every so often.  Any feedback about any of them would be much appreciated.  Thankyou x.
