Had the high

[Lonewolf]

yesterday I was so high I almost felt drunk!! I know once you have gotten so high there is only one direction you can go and now im so low it's unbearable!! (No drugs or alcohol involved!!) feeling so timid! want to hide!!! Nothings really happened, but I am so scared im even frightened of my own shadow!!! It sounds so pathetic when I say it, unfortunately its so true!!

I am sorry hun you are so frightened is there anyone you can call to help you not feel so alone. Even if you call a crisis line they can help you feel a little safer
Perhaps if you can call your doc ok see what he or she can do to help you as well. Is there a friend you can call to come over and stay with you awhile i hope so hugs to you

ive been out with a friend today so that I haven't been alone all the time! I just feel stupid cos I am so scared! Every noise is making me jump!! its so frustrating! If anyone can tell me why this fear has been coming and going in waves, sometimes really bad and sometimes not so bad!! I have tried to make a Dr's appointment to get some advice, but they seem very busy at the moment and I haven't heard about the result of my assessment yet!! Im trying to keep it together, its been a testing time!!

Sometimes deep breathing, referred to as diaphragmatic breathing can help in situations when you feel panic or stress.

Please see this link: Stress Management and Reduction that provides a downloadable audio file to describe the technique.
