It's a very difficult thing to deal with, especially the anxiety/panic attack/agoraphobia. <br /><br />Keep your chin up, I know we don't know each other but I'm here to offer my support ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465807585429719886.post-60114352518664840372011-07-25T16:36:23.625+01:002011-07-25T16:36:23.625+01:00Hello *hug* I saw you followed my blog & wante...Hello *hug* I saw you followed my blog & wanted to tell you that your blog is amazing :)<br /><br />This was a great post. I too suffer from depression, panic attacks & agoraphobia. I have had alot of ups and downs with it. I was on prozac & it helped alot. <br /><br />There would be times where I had to give myself a 10 minute prep talk and work up the courage just to open my door and walk the few feet across the parking lot to take out my trash. The entire time I would be in a panic- couldn't breath shaking. Or someone would come to the door and as soon as they left I would run to the bathroom and sit on the floor hyperventilating. <br /><br />I've learned some magickal techniques such as grounding & centering, shielding and having a trinket like a pent necklace or a bracelet or prayer beads- I have a lovely mala. That can help to bring your focus forward and help to manage the panic attack. I also have alittle chant when I feel one coming on-<br /><br />"I am a tree. Strong & beautiful. My roots sink deep into the Earth. My branches reach high into the heavens. The Goddess is with me. I am safe & protected."<br /><br />It is a difficult road. But you are not alone! And you can get better! & thanks for sharing this it is always nice to know that we are not alone in it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07726682613661728838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465807585429719886.post-91544508271684423172011-07-25T14:31:03.800+01:002011-07-25T14:31:03.800+01:00Oh sweetie I'm so sorry it's progressed to...Oh sweetie I'm so sorry it's progressed to this! You've got to get help...you have your whole life ahead of you and you don't want to miss a second of it. :) I have anxiety also but take meds to keep it in check. I've been on Paxil for 5 years and it takes the edge off just enough to function somewhat normally. Plus the combo of Paxil and atenelol keeps my migraines at bay. Phobias are scary and hard to understand...please let your GP know all this is going on so he can help you. I agree with Lilith too, spellwork helps me alot. Just burning calming incense and blue candles makes a big difference. Think about trying some spellwork or meditation and see if that gives you some relief. Take care of yourself ((Hugs))Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054135228806005241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465807585429719886.post-72395381314967103522011-07-24T18:19:28.684+01:002011-07-24T18:19:28.684+01:00Hey - have you done any spellwork to help with the...Hey - have you done any spellwork to help with these issues? A daily devotional may help. Its something small, simple, and they work wonderfully. Now I'm not suggesting you use your magick to replace the doctors or the medicine - of course not. If you had 5 dollars you wouldn't toss 4 of them out since you already had one, right? But our craft is to help us, and to help those we care about. The tone of your post is that of someone who wants to change these aspects of her life - why not use some positive thought magick?<br />While you are feeling like this, like you want to change these phobias, write a devotional. It needn't be long, just stating what you want to change, perhaps the things you miss, and that you will become strong enough to overcome these fears. Say it every day. Twice, if you can. The possitive reinforcement of your desires will help manifest them!Lilith Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008091491863595776noreply@blogger.com
