Feel like you have lost control?

The most helpless I have ever felt was after I had a panic attack. Most of the time they came out of the blue, just as I had allowed myself to relax. Maybe that's why I have adopted the attitude of staying busy all the time. I have been afraid that if I stop, it might make me vulnerable to attacks.

It has been over a year or so since my last full blown panic attack. I have felt them try to sneak in to see if they can take hold of me. But I have learned to not fear their presence and they don't seem to stick around.

I think it is a very hard thing to feel as if you don't have control. For things to creep into your mind uninvited and do what they wish. In a second you can feel as if you are dying and you have noting to say about it. Everything stops, your helpless.

I found that realizing that I was physically healthy and I had the opportunity to focus my attention on becoming healthier helped. To be able to control my diet and control my fitness - that that would make a difference. If you told me 4 years ago that I would be myself again - I would have bust into tears at the thought. Never would I have thought that I would be healed, but here I am. All put back together and ready to help the other soul who is so desperate to find a way.

I am here for you, to laugh and cry along with you. I was so scarred, I don't want you to be. It will be wonderful - don't give away your control. It's time to stand up and take it back.

Wishing you peaceful thoughts today,
Amy
