I just dont know what to do or how to deal with it, but it's driving me crazy.[/QUOTE]
You poor thing. I have had panic attacks/anxiety attacks in the past and know they are no fun. I believe we all have fears of how we will die, mine is that I'll drown in an accident (the car will fly off a bridge). Because of this, traveling over water in a car is always rough for me. It seems silly when I tell people this, but I now realize that the only folks who sympathize are the ones who have had an attack or two themselves. I've been able to identify when I feel an attack coming (it's usually when I have some life-changing event i.e. having a baby, moving to a new state, when my mother passed) and have worked hard on some calming techniques and reasoning. Still, it is very difficult when you are head-first into an attack, so I hope you can get these under control and some help.
Your counselor shouldn't skip over this. That is obvious. I think you should bring it up again and force him/her to talk about it. If they are still reluctant to talk about it, find another counselor. |
