365 Days - Day 29

It's 12:39 AM and I'm awake. My chest feels heavy and thoughts are racing in my mind at speeds of over 300 mph. I know the signs of an anxiety attack when I see one and this is the real deal. I hate being like this and I hate this feeling... the fucked up thing is that a few hours ago I was fine, relaxed and at ease. Hell I even helping a close friend through an unexpected anxiety attack of his own. Did I fuck up karma? Why do I now get to have one of these... I keep telling myself that I need to just relax, breathe and calm the fuck down. Zen thoughts Terry... zen thoughts!

Hmm... what's even more fucked up: an anxiety attack or someone who grabs the camera? I think both... the jury is still out on this one.

Well, tomorrow I'll start my own 365 days set, buy an account in the www.mediatemple.com to my site, and start a new phase in my life....
I'm fucking scared, and I cant sleep 'cause of that.

If I was there to learn with you how to calm down.
Maybe I could be able to relax you too.

Know what always helped me? "Panic drawing/coloring". Box of crayons, (yes crayons, i couldn't "hurt myself" with crayons), and some paper.

Just start scribbling. Doodling. Drawing. Coloring. Mashing crayons into the paper. Whatever.

Sounds stupid, I know, but there is something about it... within 5 minutes I could feel the tension slipping away. It was so much better than sitting there trying to tell myself to chill out, the whole time placing judgment on myself for how stupid I was for getting that worked up in the first place.

It takes some practice, and sometimes you have to force yourself. But it helped me. A lot.

Peace.

Hmm, I must agree with George.
The first prescription of my doc was for me to cut the coffee.

I'll have to go with the cut out the caffine and try the coloring method. Sounds like a plan. Art therapy is often helpful in shifting focus to the external rather internal.

That caffine is definately fucking you up - chill on the nerve jangle juice before it kills you sweet cheeks. :) Kisses
