Major Anxiety Attacks

Wow!  I'm feeling very very Anxious today and it feels like my heart & brain is about to burst, I'm extremely tired and starting to panic.  So I've decided to skip the family event and my mom seems understanding that I'm not doing so well and need this time to take care of myself.  If my writing is chaotic today is because my concentration sucks...



I am going for a short walk this afternoon to get out at least once even for at least 15 minutes and to listen to some calming and positive music and/or watch u-tube videos (meditation, quotes that go with music, etc...)

I know why I started to panic because my husband was not able to go to the event and he is a major support for me and at this time I need someone to keep me balanced.  Medications and other techniques will not help me and I will feel very trapped spending time with family.  My family are pretty good but do not have their support (I have my mom's support) with my mental health and physical issues which makes it hard for me to visit them.

It has been a hard few years for me and the last month I had medication changes for my Bipolar Disorder and I'm just starting to feel better.  Though my anxiety & panic attacks still happen from the smallest things and I need to take small steps to my recovery

Hope to feel better in the afternoon....  Wish me Luck!

Being Squeezed to Death

Another day of the Pineapple Express and it was raining harder than yesterday and expected to be like this all weekend. Hmm ..I hope to keep my emotions positive and that the outings I have planned will not be stressful free.   I'm going to a family event tomorrow attended by my parents, siblings and extended family, where I will bring a few coping strategies keeping me focused and calm.  Wish me luck! :)  A book to read, doodling & writing paper and my husband who is my biggest support.

Family events is the most stressful activity I encounter and makes me very anxious when left out of conversations and/or, if there is any heated discussions.  I am doing much better with my depression lately, but always have an escape plan if I can't cope and/or take a anti-anxiety pill which calms me down. I have alternative plans also which includes; escaping to a guest bedroom, deep breathing, meditation and listening to music on my MP3 player.

When I experience stress and anxiety; it feels as if a knot has developed in my chest and a wave of tightness spreads throughout my chest, down to my stomach and up into my neck.  It is like I'm being squeezed to death and everything around me seems like I'm in a dream state with halo's forming around people and things.

Well, I'll stop here and get ready for tomorrow....   See more below picture for Anxiety Information lnks...

How to Overcome Your Problems

What a learning experience that I got from this Inspiration Positively Positive Video from this teenager who has Cystic Fibrosis showing me that my illnesses & disorders can be friends of mine who will make me stronger and become a role model to others.
