Panic anxiety attacks thread

[isis]

xise, thank you so much, my brother! You're right in that these attacks happen partially due to repressed memories. I recognized that one part of them have to do with my fear of people. This is a left-over from my PTSD. I learned from young age that people can be unpredictable and physically abuse you for no seeming reason at all. I also learned that if I look in the eyes of others, they can hit you for that. So I learned to not look into the eyes of others and to fear them. We went through this when I was treated for my PTSD, but not enough as focus was on other, bigger issues. But now it's coming up to the surface, and getting these proportions. Hopefully I can work with this in this new soon to be therapy. Much love, brother. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

lol at "they can hit you for that"

so many times in my life i've gotten the line, "look at me when i'm talking to u"

if u don't look at them when they ask u to - they can hit u for that
