I need some positive vibes. Some love. I’m struggling with panic and I’m scared.

@peachThinker662  Hey lets take some deep breathes okay? Maybe try some grounding? I started using this easier one. 3 things you see. 3 sounds you hear and move 3 body parts. 

Would you like to talk about what has you scared? 

(sending you light and love and safe gentle hugs) 💙

This summer hasn’t been the best. Neck surgery, managing kids, a current med switch that wasn’t intended. I just want my old life, body and doctor back. I’m trying to go back to work and struggling to get and stay there. I hate be alone in all of this.

@peachThinker662 All of that would make for a very hard summer. I'm sorry you have all that going on right now. Unfortunately  sometimes we can't go back to the way things were and it can be so hard to start a different "new" way. We get comfortable with the familiar. 

Could the new meds be causing anxiety? 

Is there something going on at work that you don't want to be there? Would they let you start slowly? Say an hour or two a day for a week and then maybe the following week a little longer?

@peachThinker662I am new to the forum, I do not know you and I do not know your age, but some things are not worth wasting our feelings and our energy on. It is difficult to implement something on the ground, but an attempt or a small push in your life is better, and use your time to be a better version of yourself for you alone, not for someone, and also stay away from negative, bullying and superficial people so that you can be better, and with good luck you will improve.

Maybe there are things that usually make you feel better? Maybe new things that would bring you calm you haven't tried?

Sending lots of hugs and love your way. 💜💜🤗🤗

You've got this, just take it one day at a time or even one hour at a time. Panic attacks can be scary when they hit but try to think good thoughts when you start to feel panic sneaking up on you.

With your work, will they allow you to gradually get back into the swing of things? Or are you mandated to be there the whole day? Maybe speak to HR and let them know you need to ease back into it after being off for that amount of time.

I love all of you. So special to me. Honestly.

My therapist has me do a “vision board” every year. I put that I wanted more friends this year, and I’ve all of you ❤️

I’m going to check in about taking a little more time from work, even if it’s intermittently.

It can't hurt to ask, what's the worst that can happen? You continue as you are.

I work hybrid 3 days in the office and 2 at home. When I was having panic attacks and high anxiety I asked to work 3 at home but they shot me down and said no. I take the odd ME Day 😁 off (cough, cough) to help with my panic attacks and anxiety 😁

Hahaha

I just got off the phone with my manager. She’s willing. So I filled out the paperwork. What a challenge to be home for 6 mos and then try to hop in like nothing. Damn!

I can just imagine.

I hate going back after just 2 weeks off for vacation, it takes me the whole week after to get back into the swing of things.

It great that your boss is willing to work with you 👍🤗

I think about my favourite flowers, food, places that I want to go, concerts that I want to attend, languages that I want to learn, stars and clouds, summer and autumn, beautiful clothes and anything that heals me😭
