Re: [PanicZone] hello
Christina, I picture a bright red stop sign and its shape when I can't fall asleep. With practice it stops the racing thoughts and I'm able to relax and fall asleep.

Do you know of this technique called stop? It's done by repeating the
word stop to yourself as many times as necessary whenever you feel
anxiety coming on. Then you do the deep breathing followed by some
positive statements; "I'm gonna be ok", "This is only anxiety and it
will pass", something along the lines. Ask your therapist about it;
mine has told me to do it and I feel better after I do it. Hope this
helps.

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.
