Hi Everyone,
Last night I didn't get to bed till late, as I was doing housework. Early this morning I woke up, and when I woke up I had an anxiety attack, It was horrible, a scale out of 10 it would have been a 9,
I nearly went and woke my boyfriend up because I thought I'd have to go to the hospital, I got up because I needed to get a tablet (valium) out of my bag just so I could calm down, but I put the bag on my kitchen table, then I reached in to get the tablet, so I grabed the tablet and then I was holding it in my hand, then I stopped, I stood there and thought about a section in a book I'am reading at the moment, it says the key to anxiety is DIVERSION, so I thought I'll try this, I didn't take the tablet, I put it down the sink, my anxiety was still there, but then I laid down and started to count down from 100, and so on, after a while I could feel a difference my anxiety went from a 9 to a 3, even though it didn't go all the way down, I was happy because I didn't need to take a valium to calm down.
So by diverting my mind when I was having an attack on to something else, it made a difference, it worked, so I'am going to keep trying this every time I have one..
hopefully this will work all the time,
I'am crossing my fingers.....
:p
