Expressing our thoughts keeps them from festering in our minds. Holding them in will only make us tense, anxious and then...the dreaded panic.
Mine was my lungs. I had an anxiety attack last Friday because I didn't tell my husband or anyone for that matter about my thoughts. I denied that I was thinking about it for so long, then WHAMMO! I just knew that they were going to quit working. I talked to my brother (who also suffers with this disorder) and he grounded me with common sense and reasoning. So I say "YES" holding it in will eventually lead to anxiety and possibly the dreaded panic attack.
I hope you let us know how your day went today, when you're ready.

today i got to face my anxiety once again.
its 7.30 in the morning, i always seem to wake up feeling ok.
had my decaff tea!! and my corn flakes.
and my one stimulant a cig!! oh dear.
i have a meeting with work do dicuss my health and then to meeet with my mother and try to speak with her about those demons and feelings of guilt i have accumulated over the past 10 years i have kept locked away for so many years, that seem to trigger my anxiety/panic attacks.
for the first time in my life im facing the real reality of life not the sense of unreality i often feel.
thanks to everyone who have replyed to my messages, its a great help to know there are people who understand and care out there, and i don't even know you.
does anyone feel the same when blocking feelings increases the anxiety or protecting your loves ones from the truth about your life increases the anxiety or induces panic attacks
wish me luck!!
