The part about feeling resentment and jealousy of others really hit the nail on the head for me... like how are you laughing and carrying on when I'm suffering?!
What is your training and background? I am interested in all you are sharing it rings so many bells!! Thanks for sharing and being open to expressing your own experience and what helped you.
Thank You for sharing your journey Howard. I have to say that as teenager, I never experienced what you went through, but I was more of a victim of being bullied at school, which always made me have the fear of each day of going to school. I dreaded "Sports Day" because basically I was shit at Football etc.. So every Wednesday, I dreaded going to school for "Double Games"
I have similar difficulties, I feel detached from the world, I feel air hunger 24/7, it's rlly ruining me, I get that fear of going out alone and not being around my parents, I'll be like what if this happens to me again, because the last time I had a severe panic attacks was horrible, so yeah, I'll be like what if this happens to me again when my parents aren't there, what would I do...and I'm 16 by the way, n I'm about going to the university, and I'm scared of not being able to cope without my parents u know.... The this air hunger thing is rlly bad, I get dizzy when I don't get that definite air, n I tired to sit with the feeling but if just too awful... I need help pls. U story is very similar to what I'm going through N u sharing your story has rlly given me hope that I'm going to come out from this.
Yo are you better from this now? I judt started feeling like this for 5 days and its horrible, i feel like my life is ruined it goes on 24 7 nonstop i cant enjoy life and im just strerssing my parents out and im scared that i dont have airhunger but something that doctors dont know about and that ill have to deal with this for a long time
Can I ask a question, when u were going through this derealization and panic attacks, detachment and Al that, where you still going through the air hunger
I have suffered anxiety since I was young and depression since I was a teenager. I always managed to cope with it but it never really got any better. Then I cared for my terminally ill father 8 years ago and that started my spiral into health anxiety. To say it has been hell is an understatement. I have tried working on it, doing meditation, breathing exercises, distraction etc, stuff you say doesn't work. It helped to a degree but I think it just became an emotional crutch. I was journaling too, every day. I had 6 months last year of feeling OK. But then it all came back in March when I coughed blood up and had difficulty breathing. I was diagnosed with covid but my fear was cancer. I lost my brother to it 3 years ago and my mother survived breast cancer. So now, I'm stuck in my health anxiety hell again. Sorry for the long explanation, but I'm curious as to whether your online program will help. I sat through the presentation yesterday, about the passing the bottle back and forth and the green polar bear and it sparked an interest in me. So, do you think it will benefit me? Thanks. Keith.
mrsimpkiss thank you for sharing so openly your story... it can often help others to see people talking openly about these very personal struggles. My online programme certainly may help. Health anxiety is born out of experiencing a sensation and then creating a whole narrative around what that means which you interpret as a threat. The more you then try to “think positive or distract yourself” (get rid of those “dangerous thoughts” the more you reinforce the idea that the thoughts themselves are dangerous. The online programme I offer offers a different solution than the catch 22 of trying to rid yourself of the thoughts. Which as you rightly point out is like trying to NOT think about green polar bears. If you have any specific questions then let me know but it would be great to have you onboard so you can see first hand how it can help.
