Every now and again I get this wave of fear and all of the sudden I want to star!
Question:
Every now and again I get this wave of fear and all of the sudden I want to start crying.?
It usually happens in my car or something like the library. Basically quiet safe places. I think it might be some memories trying to surface but Im sooooo afraid of them. How do I ride it out without being freaked out? I dunno I just feel like its something bad and Im trying to hide from it. Are there any techniques on knowing that you are safe and that the memories are in the past? Any suggestions would be great this stuff is keeping me stuck.
Answers:
it sounds like you are having anxiety attacks. I have had some serious bouts with anxiety due to past memories as well. I seriously convinced myself that I had AIDS, which I know that I do not have. I did some stupid **** when I was young. I found that the way of getting over these ridiculous anxiety attacks was to talk to someone about it. My friends defintely helped me through all of it. Now it has gotten down to a minimum. I started drinking heavily due to it, because it would drown out all of my emotions. Dont let it get to that point. Just talk to someone, anyone. That's what helped me. Good luck with that. I hope you don't have to live in the hell that I did.
