Dear friends,
I do have a panicattack again.
What caused it?

- It's weekend, not feeling well, breathing heavy and having weak legs - not knowing what to do.
- Thoughts about "good times" with girlfriend who left me.
- Reading an article, "thousands are waiting without chance" on an online newsportal about the lack of donored organs in germany 13000 waiting and only 550 donors in the past 6 months.
- a friend telling me that my transplant center isn't transplanting at the moment, no organs

It's amazing. My body on alarm.
Not able to eat or drink.
Not able to move outside the flat.
Paralized.
Fearfull, helpless.

What can I do?

Dear Frank

I am very sorry to hear you are suffering and I know first hand what a panic attack is like. It is the worst feeling in the world.

All I know what works is what finally worked for me. I held my lung points multiple times daily and it Greatly reduced my panic attacks and stopped them in their tracks when I felt the aura coming on. I never felt that exhausted feeling that comes along with them because I took care of myself right away. I will not say that I did not feel bad but when I learned how to stop the worst part of it, I felt like I was making progress with every loving thought and thing I did for myself.

Perhaps the fact that I knew how to take control lessened the symptoms? I will never know but I know that I am firm believe in all of these energy medicine techniques.

We all are going to have anxiety if we have negative thoughts. You are the only one who can help yourself. Find a way to be loving to yourself. As soon as you feel yourself thinking negative thoughts, think how productive are you? Would you tell someone who you love to think negative thoughts?

If you are programmed to think negatively about things you cannot control, find a plan to counter act it. There are never any guarantees in life. All we can do is our best with every single moment with a day.

What you need to worry about if you want to worry is the present moment. How can you get to your future if you are not well in the moment? You need to find a way to relax yourself and accept and love yourself in this moment.

Go through some of your Katie Byron questions when you have these thoughts.

Statistics are always out there. If you are a good candidate you will survive and receive your new lungs one day. It will be impossible to be a good candidate if you are having so many negative thoughts. This will wear you out!

I am very sorry to hear that you are having so much anxiety. I did not know that you were in this state. Can someone stay with you? Do you have any family members that can move in with you?

I think you spend too much time alone. Find someone to visit you. Keep your TV on if that helps you. Put on some music. EAT EAT EAT. If you do not eat that is a sure way to not get a transplant. You need to take care of yourself and as harsh as it sounds, you need to take CONTROL now.

Be a good parent to yourself. Would you say out loud the thoughts you have to a precious child of yours?

Frank,
Risa is the best one to help you with advice, but wanted you to know I saw this and am sending as much positive thoughts as I can your way. I hope Risa's advice helps you and the feelings pass soon. As Risa mentioned, hope you can call some friends or family.

Thank you Risa and LadyDi!

Yes, I felt this way for MONTHs, since January, until my girlfriend left me the 2nd time. Than the strong panic left me too.

Until today...

It scares me that I switch into this state again.
I am really deeply affraid that I will not make it because of THIS!
I am absolutely not a good parent to myself now. I am not in control of the inner child that is panic.
<<< "How can you get to your future if you are not well in the moment?" YES. That's it. I want to feel well again and enjoy my life as I did before. That's why this Moments of not well beeing, this inner tension and mostly the panic do scare me so much because I know that they are absolutely not good for me.

And what I feel now, my weakness, my inner tension and my shortness of breath even when I walk around in my flat, scares me.

I belief in Energy Medicine too.
But this was so strong, and it still is there - not that strong anymore - that I wasn't able to do anything. I was "caught in terror".

Risa, I know what you have been through and I so much also want to find my way too to keep myself sane and stable through these, probably, heavy times.
I know that I at least have to help myself.
There is no other way.
I know that I can make it.
I know, because I have done it before.

I called a friend, talked to her at the phone.
I calleds my former physiotherapist who is a friend too.
She'll visit me tomorrow. We'll go out for a little walk and after it she will treat me with reflectoric breathwork.

A women I know from the Yogascene mailed me and offered me to treat me for free with yogic energetic healing.
<<< That's a miracle, hm?

Have to go away from the PC now.
Eat SOMETHING!
