My daughter told me today when we were exercising that I was really good at comforting others and talking them off ledges, but can't do it for myself.(I had just try to reassure her about a problem she was having) It made me think......and I'm still thinking about it.

God!! I pray this feeling of disorientation goes away again and stays away forever!! I can be fine one minute and then realize I haven't felt weird for a while and then BAM! it's back. So how stupid is that? I know I'm doing to it myself with my thoughts and yet I can't stop it. Not immediately anyway.It turns into a hot flash and panic attack before I calm down again. Hard to describe the feeling but it's like being off-balance but not dizzy - like I'm a bobble-head doll!
Looks like tonight is a stay up and watch Everybody loves Raymond night - they are hilarious and a very good distraction for me.....or Home Improvement (he's a total idiot)

Hey Ladykate, sorry your having a hard time with it. I do the same thing I will realize I hav'nt felt anxious in a couple of hours and then I will all the sudden feel anxious. Like I have to anxious and all keyed up. Sometime's I think my mind hates me. When I am really anxious I will also feel very disorientated like I can't trust my body to do what it is supposed to do. You have a good idea there when it comes to watching some funny shows laughter definitly helps. Although I prefer Monk. I will pray for you. HUGS Anne

I know how you feel. My anxiety comes on all of a sudden and I feel out of balance(dizzy and panicky). Sometimes I try to remove myself from whatever I am doing and just go outside and get some fresh air or go do some gardening(try to distract myself). Exercise also helps me some too. Sometimes I also try just sitting down and putting on soothing music and doing some deep breathing exercises. Watching tv and movies are good because it can distract for awhile.:0)

I am a good listener and am able to comfort people, but tend to not be able to do the same for myself. So I understand but I am not sure what to do about it. Let me know if you think of anything. (I'll do the same).

I understand. I think I am better at trying to help others than I am at helping myself. I need to be good to myself and so do you. You are a very caring and comforting person-take time to care for yourself, you deserve it!!:0)

Thanks, ladies...I decided earlier today that I need a spa day.I have gift cert that my daughters gave me for Xmas and I haven't used it.Why? I don't knowwwww...but I made an appt. for a 60 min. aromatherapy massage and a hot stone pedicure.Now I can hardly wait for Monday!
I think that every time I do something nice for someone else, like encourage them with words,I will make a silent promise to do something nice for myself.Simple things that I can do Immediately, like listen to my favorite music,close the door and read a magazine,say a prayer of thanks, ya know? I think that will help keep me calm and my mind off negative things.
Thanks for understanding...be sure to take care of YOU, too!(I'll be checkin' in to make sure you do!)
