Yea, so I am pretty sure I had a panic attack last night at work. Which might make it two this week... (haven't had any, that I know of, for over ten years... why now??) It has been pretty quiet at work the past couple of weeks, but last night I had to deal with a very upset customer. She was...

I totally agree with this. You deserve to have your needs respected and be understood. You have a right to be getting upset in these situations, I would be upset, too! Even without the whole getting triggered thing, it is normal to be frustrated and upset about these situations with your...

The few times I have had this happen, I do wonder out loud, did it just get really cold in here? because I started to tremble. Sometimes I am not feeling anxiety or panic. Although this last appointment, I think I was feeling anxious. Ok, thanks. Something for me to think about. I appreciate...

I did not feel like I was going to die in my appointment, but in the past when I have had full blown panic attacks, I felt like that. In the session, it did not scare me that my body was trembling and my fingers felt cold, I assumed it was trauma energy or something along those lines and didn't...

I just had a thought this morning. I know she likes to normalize things and make them less scary for me. Maybe that is why she used the term mini panic attack. So I wouldn't be as freaked about it? I also think of a full blown panic attack when someone freaks out about having one and feeling...

She said it was a mini panic attack after I told her what my body felt like. She did not explain very much, but it made sense in my head, so I didn't ask for clarification. When I used to have panic attacks in high school that were pretty bad, I read that all the body reactions are from...

Maybe that explains some of what I felt. After the first example I gave, it was hard for me to say that I was mad for anything because I had these emotions coming through that just made me want to cry. Those other emotions were overpowering any anger I may have felt over any of the examples.

So, my therapist said I was having a mini panic attack in therapy. We were working on anger and telling me I could get angry and feel anger safe in the session. I was feeling a sense of scared/crying. She wanted me to list reasons I am angry with my dad. I was having a hard time concentrating...

That same thing happens to me! But I am also aware that my brain was running through memories or thoughts, but I just can't remember what it was. It usually does this when I start thinking about something, and I will check out, and all of a sudden come back and be in reality, it kind of hits me...

So happy the test came back good :) yippee! Great news!

I am so jealous! :D

What a cutie! Glad he was able to be saved :)

I will ask next time. She is a trauma specialist and the best I have ever had, but the other ones were not very good, lol... That makes sense, I guess. But I am not sure if she meant it like that. She was saying one time, about my response that I start trembling around angry people, that maybe...

I will keep trying remembering to breath. I just have a very hard time when I am in an argument with someone remembering this. Afterwards I am good at remembering to breathe, just not during. I will work on not second guessing myself, too. Thanks everyone.

(Please move if fits better in a different section, please) So I am a bit confused. My therapist was telling me that what I do isn't dissociation, it is blocking my emotions. She said that the foggy feeling I get is from holding back and pushing the emotions away, not because I am dissociated...

When I took medical leave this past summer, my human resources said I had to contact the company that handles medical leave myself, that I couldn't do it through work. They use a company called Sedgewick. Once I submitted my paperwork there, they had to give me an answer within 5 days, I...

I just need to vent. Hope if I type this out it will calm me and I can fall asleep before my mind starts going over things again or what not. Work has been a big stressor for me this week. Tonight I had an argument with another associate in the department. We both can get irritated about things...

No way you are lying, happened to me, too! I was naturally super skinny and ate whatever I wanted, but as soon as I started Zoloft, I started to pack it on. This medicine also numbed me a lot, personally.

I have had thoughts about it distracting me from my feelings, too. Especially since I go to paying attention to other things when I get upset in therapy, like playing and feeling my hands, playing close attention to picking fuzz off my sweater. I have told my therapist that, if around other...

Wow.... I have often noticed that people that can't even try to understand things from anothers point of view, tend to lash out at others and try to make them feel bad or wrong. Try to guilt the other person into saying maybe they were not right. I am very glad you can see that he was...

I don't agree with this at all. I have had times where I had black and white thinking, but I tend to be creative and have a wild imagination. I find that my black and white thinking tends to turn on when I feel triggered because of something. When my mind starts racing and I can only think one...

Thanks for the update. Good job for getting through that. :)

Ahhhh! Who is that cutie??? :x3: Adorable!

I am not sure if you would call this hypochondria, but I know I was paranoid about things. I remember a presentation done in 6th (?) grade about smoking and how you can die from second hand smoke. My dad smoked in the house and I thought I was going to get cancer and die, this is when I started...
