look for them in your library
when u panic u feel afraid and i get scared i’m going to lose my bf even though he’s never given me a reason to worry. i screwed up at lunch with him and not he isn’t very happy with me. he seems down and i feel like it’s my fault. i don’t want to lose him. i love him more than anything. i’m so scared!!!!
i hate myself. why can’t i get better?
just talk to him, say sorry lol for freaking out, you love him dearly, and you hope he can forgive you
i did. he said not to worry and he loved me too but he sounds so down and didn’t seem to really want to talk to me. i’m at work and trying not to freak out all to hell.
since its everyday you really need meds and therapy,sorry ,i for get the past post at the moment so if your not doing that get to it and if your on meds then ask for it to be changed or raised. we can give you suggestions but you need more.you need to talk yourself through when it happens, telling yourself ‘this will pass’ thers nothing to be afraid of’ then believe it, trust it.This is effecting your physical health more than you know.
when you say you hate yourself, you mean if you were a stranger who walked up to ‘you’, the stranger would think you’re a bad person?
I know. I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday. I’m going to a different physician that I’ve never been to. It’s hard to reassure myself when I’m terrified out of my mind. I don’t know. No one knows about my anxiety except my bf so no one would think i was a bad person if it was a stranger. but I am a bad person. I burden my bf and show him how insecure I am in our relationship. and i panic in front of him and can’t calm down. i’m a bad person and a horrible girlfriend.
hows your relationship otherwise what happened today?
Good as far as i know but he’s dealt with my problems for so long. umm…i called him at lunch (i don’t get to see him today he’s working tonight when i get off) and he was acting down even then and he said he’s just having a down day and i freaked out cause i felt like it was my fault
and he got frustrated with me and he doesn’t like me right now i don’t think
now he’s gone to work and i won’t see him for another 12 hours and i feel like i can’t make it. i’m scared
24
well if he didn’t go to work, then you wouldn’t have a place to live, so you’d be even more scared. It’s only a few hours, just do something to chill out and have fun

please, his probably having a great day while ur on the internet screaming cause of this.
he forgave u. just talk to him if ur not sure.
real friends wont lie to each other, im 14 u should know that
he’s my boyfriend. i did talk to him cause i wasn’t sure and i’m still not sure. i’ve been such a burden………i want to give him a break from my anxiety but once i get scared i can’t remain calm and i screw up with him again.
take a deep breath in, hold your breath for 5 seconds, breath out. did that work?
and not just real friends, good friends. if he had a problem with this situation then i’m pretty sure that he’ll talk to u too.
LISTEN TO ME PPLZ!

he’s my boyfriend!! i’ll try though, thanks. ok deep breaths here i go….it’s helping a little. thanks.
I’d say to help prevent these panic attacks, look for the books I recommended in your library. If they don’t have them, they might be able to request them in from another library.
i’ll try. i have a couple of books at home right now and a CD too.

:) i was thinking of buying a calming kit online. what do u guys think? it’s $24.95 I think (CAD I think)
it’s a stop anxiety kit this is the info it provides:
Award-winning author, psychiatrist, and teacher Eve A Wood, MD, brings you a comprehensive, easy-to-use kit based on her books There’s Always Help; There’s Always Hope and 10 Steps to Take Charge of Your Emotional Life, as well as her more than 28,000 hours of clinical work with patients. You’ll learn crucial lessons about what causes peace.
Included within you’ll find:
A guidebook that outlines the program and teaches you how to apply a number of different tools to alleviate your anxiety
24 affirmation cards, 12 of which already contain affirmations and 12 that you’ll be using to create your own for anxiety transformation
A Thought-Stopping Plan card and 10 Stop Signs that you’ll be using as part of a mind-body technique to stop anxiety now
A journal to record your progress
A CD, narrated by Dr Wood, filled with meditative, relaxation, and guided-imagery tools for your immediate and regular use
what do u think?
never mind it’s too expensive to ship. any idea where i can get a cheapish anxiety or panic attack kit in Canada through the internet?
thank you all.
