How's Everyone Feeling Right Meow?

RE: How's Everyone Feeling Right Meow?
I set something in motion. I can't name the exact moment or thought that made this happen. I started something that I can't stop. And every time I pause feels like the end but this train is speeding me towards things I didn't expect.

Bottom line: I have never been more alive or more myself. It's a bumpy ride, but the anxieties that come with it are infinitely preferable to going back to that empty place.

Physically a bit wobbly after swimming an indeterminate number of laps. Coming out of the pool is always a bit rough: When you take away the buoyancy of the water and start feeling the full force of gravity again, it's like suddenly gaining 50 pounds in each leg.

This dark, heavy thing seems to be gone from my chest. I feel good. I'm headed towards freedom.

I haven't even got the job to where I need to book plane tickets yet, and my fear of flying is already kicking in. This is bad...

I need some professional help I think Sad

Have you had counselling for anything like this in the past?

If you don't want to talk to a professional, do you have someone close that you can talk to?

Can someone book the tickets for you and accompany you on the flight?

Wish I was there to give some moral support.

No, this is something that's come on quite recently since I had a particularly choppy flight over The Alps about 18 months ago. I never realised how bad it had shook me up until I flew again last October, and now my nerves are even worse.

I'm ending up like my Dad Sad The reason he never took us back to see Malta as kids was because he couldn't handle flying.

And probably not, because this isn't just a short cheap flight, if I get the job it's off to South America for 6 months. I think I'm going to need some hypnotherapy and a Xanax haha

Spent most of the day in some combination of panic attack and depressive episode, which was... interesting. Every muscle right down to my toes was clenched with tension, but I couldn't move.

According to the diagnostic reports I have now, I have a psychiatric disability. A mental illness so long-lasting and severe that my doctors all suggest I quit work entirely, file for disability support, and focus on treatment for at least the next few years. That's what I'm doing, and since filling out the applications puts me into such a tailspin that I end up paralyzed with ennui and anxiety, I tend to agree.

Well, at least now when I have bad days like today, I know what to call it, and I don't end up just blaming myself. That's a plus.

The first step is usually the hardest in these things.  Once the journey has started it will get easier.  Just keep your eyes on the goal and take one step at a time.

Take care and if you need someone to talk to, let me know.
