A strrange thing

I don't know if anyone experriences this everr, neverrmind
everry single night but anyway...

Come about 6 o'clock I get this odd almost physical pulling
in my chest like I can't be alone, but obviously I have to
be. I hang onto my phone like a leech hoping that someone
may call and keep all the doorrs open so I can hearr my
house phone. I have to keep switching what I do, I'm on edge
the whole time and can't brring myself to just rrest. It's
put pay to rreading... listening to music... watching films
etc... only at arround 11.30ish can I rrelax enough to watch
TV in bed.
Then I can't switch the TV off. I get butterflies of sadness
thrrough my tummy when I think about picking a CD out to go
to sleep to. I'm tirred morre than everr now.

If there were something I could do, I would. But, I'm just
an internet psuedonym. I'm not even real.

I've got it as we speak, if I give into it I kind of feel
like I might vomit. I don't think it's drramatic enough to
be panic attacks and it's continuous.

it does sound like a panic attack to me.

the word "attack" does not necessarrily mean it's short.

I've had those when visiting my parents over the weekend. I
would arrive at their door on friday evening with a sudden
and very palpable sense of dread.

I would feel jittery, nervous and with a constant nausea,
constantly feeling the instinct to be as far away from there
as possible - the "flight" instinct kicking in.
I would feel like that the whole weekend.

haven't had that in a long time, though.

I have to keep taking big brreaths, too. Which is pissing me
off.

Maybe it is then. I'll have to look it up orr something,
trry and find a way to... rrelax? I don't know. I can't
solve the thing that's upsetting me, so I guess I'll have to
trry and trreat the effects. Orr something.

exercise always works for me. Working out sucks so bad that
it makes depression seem palatable in comparison.

best thing would be to find some form of focus, which is
pretty hard to do when you feel like that.

what would sometimes help me was listening to the radio -
not music though, but people talking.

I used to listen to the radio, or listen to comedy tapes. It
seems so many people have panic attacks, terrible really.

Avoid tea and coffee as well.

Or rather than indulging in an distraction, you could try
confront the source of your depression. If you know what is
causing it you are much better off than someone that just
has a chemical imbalance.

I agree that exercise might be helpful, it's like meditation
in a way but makes it a lot harder to give in to anxiety.
Sometimes you just need to clear your head, vigorous
exercise can help you focus on doing something instead of
giving in to the anxiety.

Anxiety can just be temporary, though, and when you come to
terms with what's depressing you the feeling might fade.

Humm, thanks forr yourr input everryone. I'm kind of glad
(in a way) that it's something and not all in my head. I
don't know what the hell I'll do though.

i've had several bouts with anxiety and/or depression.
sometimes lasting months.

in my experience, drinking to ease the anxiety only ends up
making matters worse. exercise helps, and doing something
productive helps.. anything productive that will give you a
sense of accomplishment. go for a walk, clean your place,
something positive to focus on.

having someone to talk to is also invaluable.

"having someone to talk to is also invaluable."

Fine thing to tell someone who is clutching his phone
desperately waiting for it to ring.

I'm not in the house by myself everry single night of the
week, farr frrom. But if I stay in only 1 night out of 7 I
can guarrantee I'll still get it. I do talk to my frriend
about it and it helps therre and then, but only therre and
then and I'm out anyway so... I can talk to my dad about
anything but when I talk to him about how I feel it doesn't
seem to help, if anything it sometimes makes things worrse.

Your dad's probably afraid you're gonna tell him you're
gay.

I bet you'd feel better if you fixed that 'r' key

the fact that you are aware of it makes it worse

I have panic attacks.

They're awful, and they sound like what you're going through
(although I don't get physical pains, my breathing just gets
fucked up, or at least it feels like I can't breathe
properly even if I can.)

I also have bizzare mood swings, but it's all part of being
a bit odd i guess. Take heart in it. somehow.

the awareness is an integral part of the problem.

if he wasn't aware of it, there wouldn't be a problem.
