Hey i am here.. i know what you mean i always get extra panicky when i am away from home and home sick

[missminty]

I havnt been this bad in so long. im shakin, crying.


i dont know what to do

[katsamsmom]

start by regulating your breathing. get you some fresh air. sometimes i hold my breath and count to 10 and it helps. you poor thing!





((hugs))

[kristin1980]

I promise you will be ok .. your not feeling well because of the anxiety and your somewhere that is not firmiliar.. i am suprised u can be on the computer even sometimes i cant even handle that.. would it help to go outside for a breathe of fresh air? that helps me sometimes.. or do u have anything from home u brought with u that might make u feel better? a pillow? blanket? anything? that you can hold tight on to? that can help me sometimes

[missminty]

thanks for rplying so quickly everyone. i cant go out because everyone is coming back from nights out. i feel trapped in my room because i dont want my flatmates to see me. I got my window open and the fresh air is helping a little. i am so glad there are people online, i really needed someone to talk to, thankyou x

[kristin1980]

you are very welcome.. anytime.. i have been in similiar situations before and i couldnt go outside cuz my roommates were down stairs and i always felt so wierd when i had panic attacks because they never understood.. anyways.. keep breathing in some of that fresh air.. take nice slow breathes.. in the mean time is there anything you can read or watch.. i know sometimes its comforting to me if i watch one of my favorite comdies or read a funny book.. i have "comfort movies" they are funny and make me feel better and i always know i will be ok watching them because they are funny and have no food or v* in them.. wierd i know but it helps me out alot.


I hope u start to feel better

[missminty]

I have comfort movies too but my tv wont work yet, think i need an ariel! i am keeping myself busy with some fanfic. I want to go to sleep coz its late but i need to calm down first!

[kristin1980]

ps.. i added you as a freind on myspace.. feel free to send me a message anytime if u need..

[kristin1980]

aww that sucks.. yah my comfort movies are silly.. one is Thirteen going on 30 .. lol i dunno why... and another is napolean dynomite.. and disney movies are great too... lol know i have aladdin stuck in my head.. thanks!

[missminty]

heehee! that is fine about myspace, it will be good to chat. My comfort movies are alladin lol, pocahontas, bridget jones's diary, mean girls n the secret garden. I also love to watch the oc when im stressed, focus on someone elses problems!! Does anyone know if its normal for ur stomach to feel really weird aftr a panic, like kind of rumbly and sore? Or do u think im sick?


thnx x

[daffodil]

It's normal. Panic attacks upset your stomach, and it takes a while for things to get back to normal. If you feel up to it, try sipping some water, and nibbling on some crackers to settle things. I hope you feel better soon!

[kristin1980]

yeah thats pretty normal because your so tense when you panic that it tightens up those muscles and makes you feel sore, and the rumbling is because of the anxiety and stress but im sure you not sick.. my stomach rumbles all the time.. i just kind of ignore it now. hey i love mean girls and the secret garden as well.

[missminty]

Thanks!! The secret garden is my absolute favourite, it reminds me of being little coz my mum read it to me, i always wanted to be mary finding the key to the secret garden!! im siping a little water now, see if that helps. What has everyone been upto today? x

[kristin1980]

ehh i stayed home from work sick.. again.. not sv* though i just have a really bad sore throat and im real tired.. i slept alllllll day and im all achy and stuff by the amount of days i call in sick.. i am surpised im not fired yet.. stupid emet and anxiety!!


its seems like i get sick alot easier than everyone else.. not really sv* but other things like really bad colds and infections and i know it has to all do with anxiety but i have a hard time not missing any days of work.. i think the longest i went without missing a day was 4 months and that was alot for me

[missminty]

Yeh im just the same. I have had 2 really bad throat infections this year and iv never felt so bad. I think that is partly why im panicky, coz i have a sorethroat and im afraid of feeling bad when im far from home. I had a look at ur myspace but it wouldnt let me comment for some stupid reason, i love ur pics, ur so pretty! x x

[kristin1980]

aww thanks.. myspace is stupid like that sometimes.. i love it when it says i cant make a comment cuz im not someones freind even tho i am!!!!!


yeah this year alone i have had.. strep throat, bladder and kidney infections, a crazy mouth infection that was like eating away my skin on the roof of my mouth and made it all swollen with a high fever!! i missed like 2 weeks of work with that one!!

[Galadriel]

Hey MissMinty,
I am sorry you're feelin so home sick. It will get better, you'll get used to being there and it will become comfortable in time. Humans have an amazing ability to adapt to just about anything in time, but thats the key, that it will take time to get comfortable there. I suggest finding anything that you enjoy doing (reading, movie watching if possible, drawing, anything liek that that can take your mind off missing home. Do your flat-mates feel homesick at all? It may help to share your feelings because chances are you are not the only one missing home. I bet many others there are going through a similar thing. Feel free to post on here anytime, you know where we're at!

[missminty]

Hey Galadriel, thanks for the reply! I do seem to be ok when im busy but when i get back to my flat and theres nothing to do it kind of hits me. I totally accepted that i would feel bad at first, i was pretty much expecting it, but i didnt think it would be so quick and so much! I think once im past that i will enjoy myself and everyone in my flat is so noce but i dont want to bring them down by crying all the time!!


Thanks again! x x

[angele803]

I feel your pain. I have been away from home out on my own for almost 6 years now and when I have a panic attack or feel sick, I still really want my mom and my "home". I also have missed so much work. I have lost jobs before over this. I just started a new job last week and I already missed half a day today because of anxiety. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better, and if not, I hope you will feel better soon.

[missminty]

Hey angle thanks for ur reply. I feela bit better panic wise but throat and chest hurt so bad, i really need to see a doctor tomoro. I hope your job works out for you and you are well. x x

[missminty]

Well i still feel rubbish but its nearly 4 in the mornin so im gonna try and sleep, hopefully feel better in the morning. Thanks everyone for being so supportive x x
