Anyone else self-fullfill a prophecy when it comes to attacks?

I posted earlier about my anxiety. I had an attack last Wednesday and one on Thursday. Each day after that I have taken a clorazepate to try and ease my nerves. Do any of you have an anxiety attacks simple because you are dreading having an anxiety attack?

Thank you! I am still fighting it but the medicine is helping, all though the medicine also brings in a hint of depression.

Welcome! :D

keeping your thoughts as calm as you can is a good strategy to fighting these horrible attacks, the calmer you are the less scary and worse they are, its becoming a good thing for me to try and keep calm during a panic attack because i literally worry so much. i've also heard that therapy has nice results! although it is strange the waiting lists are quite long to get to see someoone. i'm due for my first therapy session on the 30th of this month and very much looking forward to it :)

i hope you get to feeling better,think positive :)

Thanks Matthew! I had to cancel my therapist appointment for the past 2 months due to meetings at work. I don't go back until April 6th. I guess he was helping me some because I haven't had this many days in a row in a very long time. My train of thought must stop or I will dread every day when I wake up.

Hey alvaa!

Yes!, sometimes this has happened with me, i've been sat down or moving about and i'll suddenly feel edgy or dizzy...and it gets worse and worse and then i'm stuck on that train of thought "i'm going to have an attack...please stop!" i fond me'self flinching,getting anxious,pacing about and then it hits simply because i was thinking about it. i've so far had a few days of no attacks, but...its early yet to know if they'll stop completely!
