Worrying about relapse?

for 17 år siden 0 +0 / -0 138

Even after attending three social events with moderate calm, the tension had built up and I had not properly vented it. As a consequence, the three events are somewhat diminished when I can't function for a few days after. I pray that I have rested enough and calmed down enough to get to work tomorrow and get out to a new years' party which will be moderately stressful. Then I am supposed to join people for a new years day event. I have already warned them that I may be too beat down to take on too much after the new years eve party.

I've always relapsed at some point. I can get better for months or a year and then I'll relapse back into a horrible panic/agoraphobic state. For some reason my body/mind won't let me stay 'better.' Lately I'll have a few good days/weeks and then something will trigger it again. :confuse:

Hiya Georgie :) As you work the program you will get new tools for your toolbox. One of them is thought challenging. I think it is in session three... And they give you 10 questions that he.lp you challenge your anxious thoughts and a printable form that you can use to challenge your thoughts on paper. So that is what I use to help myself challenge my thougths. When I don't have a form handy i just write on plain paper as I have memorised the form and the questions by now lol As for when I don't have writing material well I do the same process but in my head. I hope this helps clarify what I meant! -Diva

Hi Diva, I was just wondering what you meant by challenging the idea on paper. Do you mean write it down and try to rationalise it or something completely different? This isn't entirely related but it's related to writing things down. What I've done sometimes when I'm having a panic attack is written on paper or when I am at the computer typed things like "Relax, it's okay, breathe one.. two.. three" etc.

I have to admit I often fear relapsing. Especially since I relapsed in December. But when that thought comes into my head i challenge it, either in my head or on paper and I find that really helps :)As for if I have a panic attack, well I tell myself it is just another little bump in the road and it only has power over my life if I give it power. I no longer see having a panic attack as a relapse and when it does feel like a relapse, I challenge that too! Well one day at a time and looking at the good in everyday is the best way to go I guess :) -Diva

I can relate to this. I have days, even a week at a time where I am able to cope well in situations that usually have me in a blind panic. I feel soooo confident and positive. Then I'll have a big, full-blown attack (usually when I'm already stressed or not feeling well) and I think "aaaaahhhh", I'm back to square one. To feel better about it, though, I try to focus on how many good experiences I have. Over the past few months, I have been able to do things I couldn't do earlier this year. I find I'm going to do much better in situations if I focus on the "I can do it" feelings, rather than "Oh, no! What if I panic". Sooooo...to make a long story short (too late, I know! haha), I guess it really does help to think positively, rather than worry about having a relapse (sure, easier said than done!)

Members, You've now been doing the program for a few weeks and things are starting to look up. Suddenly, you find your thoughts circling around the idea of relaspse. It's a scary, anxiety provoking thought. What can you do about it? Well the first step may be to vent your fears with your fellow members because chances are you're not alone in those fears. By talking about it together, you may also be able to brainstorm possible solutions or at the very least, find strength in numbers by supporting each other. Let's chat about it!
