What happened?

[Kate15]

Yesterday I had 3hrs or feeling pretty normal and happy after 5 bad days. First time an anxiety attack has lasted more than a day. Woken up with it creeping tho. I thought it was finally lifting, trying not to feel done in but I am. Yesterday everything felt ok again, I smiled. Like really smiled, danced with my kids, cooked and cleaned. Now I’m back here knowing it’s coming again.

Hi Kate, I'm so sorry your starting to feel like that again. It's a horrible feeling, knowing that it's creeping up on you, and trying to resist it, it's exhausting! Glad you had fun with the kids, that mustve been great. Used to love playing with mine when they were little. My son wanted to be a t rex, so me and my daughter used to hide under a duvet and he would hunt us. He made the noises and everything. Hilarious! Jurassic Park has a lot to answer for!!

It was so refreshing. Everything seemed so beautiful for a bit. Like I really appreciated life. Sounds corny but to feel normal again was just so great. It is exhausting, I’m just trying to keep busy now and see if I can hold it off. Aww that’s so cute, my little boy loves dinosaurs too! He’s a bit little for Jurassic park yet tho. The good dinosaur is what he’s watched so far. If they weren’t here needing me it would be so easy to give up so I’m grateful I have to get on with it really! So weird how u can live on autopilot. I do feel stronger today tho. Here’s to a day that’s slightly easier I hope! Thanks for replying!

I was like that yesterday, just being normal made me feel elated! Bit of a struggle this morning, usual rubbish, is my breathing ok etc etc but just about keeping it under wraps!! I'm gna busy too today so hopefully will stay away. Here's hoping!! Yes, that little boy is now 20 and in the army, but when we get together we still laugh about it. No problem and here's to a great day!!

It really did feel good. I really feel for you, my anxiety isn’t health related but I can imagine how debilitating that is for you. Is it something you’ve always suffered with? Sounds terrifying. Wow that’s amazing, bet you’re so proud. My eldest of 4 is 17 & just got his first little job. Just in a pound shop but I could of literally burst with pride lol! Something about watching them make their own way is just amazing. I hope you have a better day. Even if it’s only a few clear hours to recharge.

No, it's very recent really. Not sure why I get it, it is very hard work sometimes. Yes I'm immensely proud, though I'm not sure if I may have been a little too strict with them when they were young. My son joined the army and my daughter is a police officer! Lol that's great for your son, it does make you proud to see them forging their own way. Hope today is a fantastic anx free day for both of us!!
