I'm so tired this morning. I went to bed early because I was so tired yesterday, but ended up waking a bunch of times. Just before I was supposed to get up with the kids I had a freaky nightmare I couldn't wake myself up from. I think I tried tapping my husband a couple times and saying I'm...

I just did my first EMDR session last week and I felt awful after too. I was told that's normal to have some side effects afterwards and that everyone processes it differently. I was in such a stupor after, I felt like someone took my head and shook it like a snow globe. I couldn't think...

@Mercy Well this weekend after my EMDR session it brought up a lot of anger, it was so bad I couldn't stand to be in my own skin. So I took a mug that I had accidentally broken the handle off earlier in the week, went into the garage and smashed that sucker to bits. I felt much better after...

Thank you so much for the advice everyone! I see my therapist today so I will ask her about coping skills. I will also try and talk to my GP about it, maybe the Wellbutrin isn't a good fit for me. It gives me energy and motivation but I've only been on it for a week and a half so maybe it is...

I've been in talk therapy but now I'm starting EMDR with the same therapist. I'm on the waiting list for a counsellor specializing in sexual abuse, and going to be taking workshops to learn coping skills. Sorry for the confusion. It's hard for me to call someone while in mid panic attack but I...

I've been trying really hard to get some "me" time. My husband and I have been trying to make that a priority but with a nursing 10 month old and a demanding, high energy 3 year old it's tricky. My 3 year old is in this phase where he purposely tries to annoy me and push all the boundaries. I am...

I've been having panic attacks pretty much every day. Sometimes multiple ones in a day. I'm on celexa and Wellbutrin for depression and Clonazepam for anxiety. I already take 1mg clonazepam in the morning and 1mg at night. My GP doesn't want to mess around with medications more than what I have...

Yup you're right, gave it a try and it's too cloudy. Looks like a trip to the craft store is going to happen in the very near future. Lol

Yuck, I feel like crap. I ended up having a panic attack, thankfully my Mom had already taken my wee ones for a visit at her place and my best friend chose that moment to call and chat so she was able to talk me down. I feel terrible now, I was supposed to use this time to tidy up without the...

@FindingMyself88 @amcen Thanks for the recommends! I'm feeling very anxious today and I was hoping to find an online chat in case I have a panic attack as I don't like talking on the phone and I can't usually talk anyway since I'm so short of breath.

All I have is white glue... Will that not work?

@catjudo Oh I didn't know that! I'll have to see what I can find. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

I've had this happen to me several times, and each time it's taken me completely by surprise. It left me feeling completely off balance for most of the day. :( Thankfully it hasn't happened often but with my therapy beginning I'm afraid it's going to happen a lot more often. I'm planning on...

I'm not sure if the right place to post but since it's for help with panic attacks I figured it fit. Does anybody know of a crisis online chat that will work on a tablet? My iPad doesn't support adobe flash and I don't currently have a computer. I know some chats are area specific so I live in...

Thanks everyone :D Lol I did my happy dance when I got home. As far as celebrating, I might get into my little ones Easter treats!:angelic:
