That was happening to me when my panic attacks started to stop, my mind would go to my triggers almost testing to see if they would send me back into a panic attack. I am learning when it comes, a trigger to say to myself, ok, what is really making me anxious? Ok, it's the stress of this or that but I'm dealing with it and my brain wants to go where it's use to going, panic mode. I say ok, nobody is dying, my kids are alright, nobody is after me to hurt me, nobody can hurt me, and then I go do something to keep me busy until I forget about it. See, it seems you were ok when you were busy with the rides and stuff and when you got in the car you were not busy and you had to much time to think about it. make sense? I'm just figuring it out myself. Now today your anxious about the store because your recovering from yesterdays panic attack and that can sometimes take a few days to get out of your system. Just remind yourself that the amusement park was a lot all at once and might have overwelmbed you a bit but you'll be ok, one step at a time. I get anxiety on rides too. I always think I get stuck on them and they won't be able to release the bar or the will brake when I'm too high in the air and I'll fall to my death. That's because we suffer from anxiety and our brains take things to the extreme. write me anytime and I hope you find some peace today! Remember one step at a time, don't do too much if your overwelmbed, but try to do a few little things that relax you for example watering plants, sitting outside, if you have a pet that always helps me, anything to take your mind off the panic and on to something relaxing, maybe scrapbooking, even cleaning a room, like dishes, something small.
