Default Last night

Last night I had a period of intense fear between 12AM to 4AM. I could not write anything on the forum. Tonight I feel much better.

Those periods of intense fear are a mistery to me. Last week I had periods of depression.

I thank all of you for your support,and prayers. You all are family. BF

Dear Friend,
That is awful.
Sorry.
I remember those nights.
I used to turn on all the lights and keep the tv up loud -- not a great coping technique but I did that for years.
(still do it but with less intensity).
Do you have a few coping techniques that work sometimes?

Maybe you need better medications.
That's how my nights became bearable -- better meds.
M.

Heart I hope you have fewer of these

I hope you have fewer of these episodes, Steve.

Have you had them before after doing something productive or taking an initiative... what i'm wondering is, could it be sort of a latent reaction?

Anyway, I'm glad you are feeling better now, and I'm sending you lots of hugs and good thoughts.

I am sorry about that feeling of fear. Those are no fun at all. Yeah those are the nights I stay up sitting on the bathroom floor. Waiting for it to go away. And the good new is that is does pass. You are pretty strong to me BF. You endured that. I hope that feeling never comes back. Only good comfort is allowed.

Fear is a terrible deterrent to action.
there is a good book called feel the fear and do it anyway.I think you might like it. It gives some excellant coping strategies while dealing with your fears.
hoping that you can find some peace today.

I hate fear !!

Sorry to hear you had that episode dear Steve...

I think fear is associated with depression... well, just my theory... dont know much about that matter, I only know both are terrible monsters I hate...

Glad to read you are feeling better...

Praying "like crazy" helps me in those fear attacks...

Fear is so irrational sometimes,and sometimes it is some sort of obsessive reaction that comes from something like a over reaction to a very small thing. When it happens sometimes it feels like a Tiger is in the room. Hard to explain. I hate fear.

Real fear is OK,for it can save your life. If you are very scared being near the edge of a mountain that is 1000 feet up in the air is different.

It becomes hard to rationalize illrational fear. I can't think straight. It took me a day to realize that I was obsessing over a fear that was unfounded. I guess this was just under the panic attack level,never the less very uncomfortable. BF

Does this play into your OCD?
It sounds like a vicious cycle and sounds awful.
I am sorry you struggle with these issues.
Do you think your meds are working right for you? can you increase (with pdoc permission of course), the luvox?
It sounds like you could use some extra help right now.

Thank you Bizi. Panic,or heightened fear,go hand in hand with Obsessive irrational fear,and intrusive thoughts,(OCD)in my case.

My Nurse Practitioner,in communication with PDocs have me on a high dose of Luvox,and Seroquel. I'm on a small dose of Xanax. I'm still recovering from the situation that happened before I went into the hospital. I've been out of there for 3 weeks. BF
