When I Realized These Physical Sensations Were My Version of Panic Attacks

For so many years I had no idea what they were. It has only been in the last two weeks that I have made the connection of the physical sensations I’ve experienced and how they coincided with anxious times in my life. Everything I ever remember hearing or reading about panic attacks mention shortness of [...]

When I Realized the 'Weirdest Hangover I've Ever Had' Was Actually a Panic Attack

It began as a pretty typical Saturday morning in Boulder, over three years ago. I woke up in my big comfy bed in my sun-drenched condo, feeling like a pile of garbage. Despite leading what I thought was a “healthy” lifestyle, I had a tendency to go to happy hour after work on Fridays and [...]

4 Things You Shouldn’t Say to Someone Having a Panic Attack

This piece was written by Gaby Dunn, a Thought Catalog contributor. Panic attacks send adrenaline all over your body. When I have one, my heart races and my hands shake like someone’s doing brain surgery on me while I’m awake. The rest of my body might shiver or tremble. My arms sometimes feel numb. It [...]

COVID19 3h

Therapy went well

I just finished my session. It went very well. We talked about the music I've been listening to and the panic attack yesterday. We talked about how I feel after taking the medicine for COVID. He said I sound a lot better since Monday. I feel a lot better. My tummy is being awful but I'm pretty sure it's from the meds. I think I'll be back to 75 percent on Sunday.

Women Adapting to ADHD 3h

ADHD and menopause / bad combination

I recently learned that low estrogen makes the level of dopamine even lower as they share the same neurotransmitter ( os something like this). I’m now trying to find the correct balance between adhd medication and HRT. Not easy. Does anyone have experienced this? It increased my anxiety level and panic attacks- getting better now but not yet there… #menopause #adhdandlowestrogen

Intense therapy #Bipolar2 #PTSD #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

Tuesday I had my virtual therapy appointment on Tuesday . I texted him a journal entry about my abuse I was hesitant about sending him that but he said do what you feel comfortable doing. We started talking about my other abuses and my mood changed I almost started to cry but I stuffed it down. We continue talking about about how my parents protect my brother then the tears coming. I said the dark force is coming from behind me . My therapist didn’t see anyone behind me. I looked around my the dog that I see and he wasn’t around. Well, I was crying because this dog protects me. My therapist said let grab me a notepad and I started I broke down crying he said Laura I hear you once he back I started to have a panic attack and he wanted me to focus on him and do deep breathing.

I am 29 years old and have never watched Lord of the rings. Mostly because I don't like the main hobbit in it.

I just had never gotten around to watching it though I did watch one and two of The Hobbit movies. I really like the actors in that one!

This Lord's of the Rings TV show is set centuries before the first Lord of the Rings movies. 8 episodes per season and currently season two just released the first four episodes!

I have always been a HUGE fan of fantasy books and movies. Especially when there are a bunch of types of creatures. And even better if there is magic and a lot of action scenes!!

This series is SO GOOD for the first time ever I am planning on watching all the movies and episodes and might just be a HUGE fan of Lord of the Rings 💍 💖❤️💖❤️💖

I like it better than the Harry Potter series!!!! 😱😱😱

Which one is your favorite?

It always bothered me that Harry Potter and his friends were able to take down Voldemort even though he had been alive learning all sorts of magic decades before them. Though I really love the characters and by the end most of the characters have done selfless acts that warm the soul💕💕💕

Plus Lord of the Rings has epic music and incredibly wise lessons.

Do you have a favorite movie in either series? Have you seen the new TV series called the Rings of Power? Did you like it or love it?

Talk about an incredible imagination!! Some authors are just awe-inspiring with what they come up with.

Incredible!!!!!

Music

I'm currently listening to George Ezra on Spotify. I've been enjoying the Bluetooth headphones so much. My girlfriend 😍 picked out the perfect gift from my Amazon wishlist. I don't feel well but I'm trying to relax. I had a panic attack today. I'm ok now but I pulled off the tips of my nails again. I didn't take a shower. I don't know what triggered it. I'm trying to let my ex girlfriend sleep cuz she's feeling yucky too. I texted her about an hour ago to let her know but she didn't see it yet. I'm trying to manage my feelings for now.
