Bad night

SpikeyMark

I had my first panic attack since my diagnosis last night.

I kept my wife awake too before a busy work week.

I did too much at the weekend and burned myself out and ended up ruminating all night about anything and everything.

I know others here don't like Christmas, but I love it and it is very important to me and I convinced myself I was going to ruin it.

I'm not looking for anything really, just wanting to offload and explain if I am a bit dis-jointed and random over the next few days. I didn't sleep at all.

  • I hope you know that rationally you’re not ruining Christmas for anyone. These worries about ruining something important to oneself sound very familiar, but please just make sure you don’t let those thoughts take over completely, cause that way you will feel miserable and while you still wouldn’t be “ruining Christmas”, you would probably enjoy it less. You deserve a happy Christmas and I’m certain that it will be. 
    It’s probably very hard for you to move on from those thoughts. That’s fine and it’s fine if you worry from time to time. You may want to make sure to share those worries with your loved ones so they can help you to make sure the irrational “what if’s” are kept in check and the rational ones don’t happen.
