Good News- Got a sponser :) Bad News - Having panic attacks at mtngs!
Hey to all,
Hope everyone is doing well here, and the ones that are struggling have some comfort here in realsing they certainly aint the only ones! Well fist off just need to say a huge thanks to every1 who has been so supportive and positive - you honestly don't know how much this helps me. I don't know what i'd do without S.R and AA. (Why is this coming out like an oscar speech...?) Cringe! Right ok to the point - im doing well- got myself a lovely sponser the night, went to 2 meetings today and enjoyed them both. So for that i'm feeling great and more positve. However, one lil thing is i'm having panic attacks at meetngs- i didn't even realise until i was telling one of the women what happens 2 me in mtngs sometimes (i get hot flush, rash over my neck, heart beats fast, sweat, feel sick, feel i'm going to have a breakdown, mind racing, feel like im not all there...) and anway - she said i was having panic attacks. I'm ok about this - supirisinglg! I meen it's not good but i know i can overcome or handle it with the right hlp. Just thought i'd share this anyhow, incase any1 else is having same prob (a lot of the women i spoke with have had them at some point) - and also to c if any1 has any helpful tips to help ride them out? Got a few good tips off ppl from the mtng tonight, but would love to hear some more too if any1 knws? Thanks guys xx
