Oh it's awesome for anxiety and panic. I learned about it watching videos on YouTube. You would need five things that are soothing or calming, one for each of your five senses.
For instance I could make a self soothing kit comprised of:
1.) relaxing music to appeal to the sense of sound
2.) calming pictures or videos to appeal to the sense of sight
3.) aromatherapy candles and or essential oils to appeal to the sense of smell
4.) Herbal tea to appeal to the sense of taste.
5.) a stuffed animal to appeal to the sense of touch
That's just an example but it a good way to self soothe after and episode or if you feel one coming on.
You want to use the tools together to calm and ground yourself. Staying grounded helps to ward off dissociative feelings which can lead to cutting and other self destructive behaviors.
Well I have the panic attacks somewhat more controlled, With the Prozac. But I still do have that too much adrenaline thing. Everything you say is true. Like having intense emotions. I think that's why I have trouble getting along with people, and holding a job. I thought as I got older maybe it would lessen or something. But I think It's turned into some other disorder. Or maybe it's hormonal. Im not sure. But I have seen a slew of therapists. My whole life and they never were helpful, at all. I wish I could find a good one.
Am I selfish or do I not feel emotions properly?
