Just By Thinking About It... Posted: 02-10-06 13:46pm
Does anyone get thier aches and pains just
by thinking about them? I'm never sure if
I have something wrong or not, cuz i'll
hear or read about something, and then it
will seem like I will have the symptoms of
it but it's all very real. I have a hard
time distinguishing when my mind is
playing tricks on me and when something is
really wrong. Anyone else do this?

Sometime by thiking bout it too much I get
a attack...Just like recently with
ativan...I fight it off so much that I
dont wannnatake it that I end up panicking
and taking it..
It weird tho I get different kinds of
panic attacks.A real good panic attack is
obviously the heart pumping fast and
choking sensation and passing out
sensation,but sometimes I just feel very
anxious im not panicky but just cant stay
in one place feel ligh headed and my mind
going in 2000000 differetn direction..I
think thats generalised axiety.
Do you ever get the feeling like youll be
stuck with this forever even tho we read
that with a good therappy it can be cured
( and ive read cured not just tolerated)
some days I feel like yea ill beat it
sometimes I just feel like I wont.Its been
harder to hang out with freinds or even go
to work and shcool is tuff.
I usualy feel good with my gf around for
some reason.
I went to the drs today to get some info
about ativan and alternatives I could use
but theres something about the drs or even
the dentist last time but secaly the dr
that gets my panic going.I mean I dont gte
it yea sure if I was going in to get blood
results or inquire about my heart or
something but im going and I know what for
and it will help yet I stepp foot on
there abd my heart beats faster,dr comes
out annouces someone my hearts beats a
little faster now I know im next my heart
is beating outta conrtol till I have to
leave.And then sometimes its even worse
cuz yure like ive panicked too much
today,my heart been beating fast for 30
or 40 minutes im gonna die if it dosent
stop soon or ive probably done damage to
it.I hate these what ifs but how do we get
them out of are heads?
Wow pretty big paragraph it just started
out replying and looks like I took some
stuff off of my chest...Im just tired of
living with this,comstant fear even when
im not having an attack im fearing
it...Any secrets to stop fearing or im I
just too far along and I need medication?
If medication is a band aid then there has
to be alternatives.

Of course u can influence ur body with
thoughts. If u think of undergoing a
stressful situation, ur body will consider
it as real!
I try to have the presence of mind to calm
myself when I get overly stressed.
Everyone knows about deep breathing,
music, etc. Imagery is just as important,
too. A positive focus makes all the
difference. My mantra is sweet dreams are
the paradise of the mind. :)

I was just wondering, cuz for the past few
months I have thought i've had a blood
clot in my leg cuz it keeps hurting, but
i'm not sure if it would hurt if I weren't
fixated on it.

Hello! Don't forget to de-cap. I am
no Dr. I agree with renascencewoman, it
is mainly about breathing and being
positive. If you truly do believe their
is something wrong, please go get it
checked out. Yoga is also good for
relaxation. If you do suffer from panic
attacks and heavy stress, go see a Dr.
Or a naturopathic Dr., also it could be
about something that has happened in your
past with your childhood, e.M.D.R. Is
good for that or a phobia or a post war
problem and it is done by a psychologist
so you do not have to worry about being
put on a bunch of meds that can mess you
up even more and I am not saying that meds
are bad but to some they cause more
problems and their are also psychiatrists,
sometimes they can help too. Come here
anytime that you have something tovent
about, we totally understand, that is what
we are here for! Remember too, we all
have our bad days and sometimes more than
days.
Good luck to you all!
