Hi Everyone, i was feeling so much anxiety last night. I have been working on self healing because i often feel all kinds of negative sensations in my body like trauma ptsd... all kinds emotions started come up before age 3 and i feel thats where all my anxiety and emotions were coming from and vaugue memories from i think related to my father who left when i was 3. Everytime i find these emtions start coming up my family starts to act towards me like they are shaming towards me then i get scared, shut down and i forget these emotions but then i turn the neg feelings inward to shame myself. Also Im in my 40s

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I would really love your support, prayers and to make new friends too. Sending lots of love to everyone.

Thanks,

Flower

Hi Flower,

Nighttime is hard for anxiety sufferers and same here.Have you tried therapy and meds.I know how you feel and trauma you been through as for family troubles.

It stays with you for rest of life and its difficult.

We here fully support you,do not deny emotions as they define us .

I felt numb for years too,not anymore.
I am acknowledging having feeling and emotions makes us human.

WRITE HERE ANYTIME ....

Hugs

Thanks so much Cilly, i really appreciate your support. I was having a full blown panic attack and racing thoughts. And when i was feeling all those sensations in my body my mind was reaching to try to figure out what it could be. So i did a mediatation on my app and that helped a lot and now that i am more calm i dont have any clairity when i was that young and at the moment and the sensations have subsided. I did try therapy and meds but it only helped a little. Being more calm i think will give me better understanding of my feelings and maybe even when i was that young. Panick attacks can feel so real. Anxiety can be intense. Has anyone else delt with racing thoughts with panic attacks and how do you deal with them?

Hi Flower,

I do have anxiety attacks but nothing as serious as yours. Even though what I have isn't exactly like yours I can empathize with you on living with anxiety. Know that we care about you and that you are doing well. Never be afraid of sharing your feeling and thoughts here... you have a lot of friends who care about you in this forum. We 'get it' in a way others can't.

Warmly,
Chutz

Thanks Scardy Cat, Thanks Chutz, i really appreciate your support and friendship. I realized i was having a panic attack when i didnt even notice i didnt sleep all night last night until the sun came up. I spoke to my bother today about my father he said that i was never in my father care and he was only with me for.year at that time and my Mom was no longer with him when i was almost 3. When u have a panic attack every things seems so real then when the panic wears off you almost feel foolish as things are as we were thinking. Well i am going to make sure to get great sleep tonight and get even more grounded.

Hi Flower,

I'm sorry to hear that you have panic attacks and anxiety. My panic attacks have been few and far between, but I could write a book about anxiety. I want to suggest you start a journal if you haven't already. It's a great tool for handling feelings and thoughts. I have done it for years. It's especially good at untangling your feelings and thoughts when you get overwhelmed. I give myself permission to write ANYTHING. For example, i was bothered by old memories of one teacher who belittled me in front of the class. I write about that whenever the memory surfaces. Sometimes it takes more than one time writing about things. Now I can see that teacher as probably having low self-esteem and being cruel in belittling a student in front of others.

Also, remember deep breathing as a way of settling yourself down.

This forum has a lot of kind people in it who have experienced panic attacks and anxiety. They are very willing to listen and share their point of view, sometimes giving suggestions. I have been coming here for years and I always get some sort of positive feedback!
