Re: [PanicZone] Re: My Story
Mel,
Why do you think you are holding back in your thearpy sessions so much?
Doyou think if you let your thpist know everything , you might be able to get in touch and feel better? I am just curious, but yes, guilt is terrible, it can eat you up....
And I have that a lot...

Lauren,
It's weird that you mentioned quilt. That's the same word my theropist used
today. We were talking about why I am the way I am, and we almost touched on my
past. She said that I seem to have a lot of issues with shame and guilt.
Mel

M,
Thanks for sharing your story - and I am sorry that you had a rough time in your
childhood...
That is so werid about my situation, I think my anxiety comes from the other
direction.
Being the first born in my family, oldest of four my parents had big expectaions
for me...and I always felt like I was letting them down and I have a terrible
amount of guilt...about everything, always trying to be the perfect
mom/wife/daughter....
My upbrining in other eyes, even my own, was pretty darn good w/ loving family
parents, siblings, but I was always under a microscope always had a very early
curfew, etc...so I mean, I was raised by strict parents and I think that the
"Fears" they placed on me....about everything, the world being unsafe, unsafe to
drive, unsafe to go certain places, has placed a huge issue over my head, and
perhaps it's where my anxiety comes from....just not sure....
thanks for sharing!

have a panic attack is that it will pass
whether it passes quickly or slowly
depends whether I drop the idea of it
being dangerous or not.
