I Hate Anxiety Attacks
My anxiety attacks are kind of bad at times, and I get urges to cause self pain or punch something; it takes forever for me to calm down. One day it took me from 10 PM till 10 AM one night to calm down. I've been to a shrink who suggested group therapy, but I've realized recently that there's been no reason for not being calm that I can think of. I don't know what to do.
Pain is the one thing that calms me down. Breathing exercises don't work. I scared the heck out of myself and my boyfriend (on the other end of a text). My boyfriend had a go at me at what I said while I was in a mid attack too. I said something along the lines of, "There must be something wrong with me. I can't stay calm for long..." and then said something against myself. He didn't agree with, and he said something like, "Thanks for making me feel worse. Maybe you don't need me; you need someone closer." That didn't help and made me worse, so I shouted at him via text.
I pranked him that night for a reason. He could've tried to make me laugh, but he didn't get the hint and call back. What was worse also was he took a while to text back. I couldn't get hold of anyone else, couldn't tell parents, and when I did get hold of someone he made me laugh. Then my boyfriend said something that made me go back into one, because I was obviously not completely over it.
He told me to open up. I did, but he didn't like it, so he had a go at me again. I don't blame him, but it makes me want to hold things from him. Yep, that's as bad as they get for me, hard to breathe and wanting to hurt myself.
