Why can't I control it?

[Band_Nerd]

Had another freak out today. My friend went onto her myspace to check her profile and she was looking at tagged pictures. My ex was in one of them. I had already been feeling kinda down today, and for some reason, when I saw him in the picture (that was back when we were still together) my chest tightened up and I couldn't breathe. When I saw that picture, so many memories came flying back to me. I couldn't take it. ](*,)

In another one of my threads, I mentioned this happened before the last time I saw him, and some people said it might be that I was having a panic attack. I had to leave the room today because I felt like I was going to been physically ill and I felt like I was going to cry and on top of that, I really felt as I couldn't breathe. I said I was sorry to my friend that I had to leave the room and told her why.

 

I don't why I can't control my emotions...I don't want to live like this.

I know how you feel. But the fact were still here, still alive still breathing means that we'll be ok. Theres someone out there for us.

 

They arent worthy of our love anyway.

I totally know how you feel, i got the exact same thing.

i actually suffer from panic attacks and they aren't very nice.

i had to rush out of a room full of people in tears for that exact reason!

 

things do get better though, you will learn to control your emotions more as time goes by i promise.

message me if you like (:

Wow, I'm sorry,

but it's nice to know that I'm not alone in this. I hate feeling like that, I feel so weak.

Even now...my breathing feels, almost a bit constricted, but not as bad as it was before.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm really hoping that I'll find that someone though..

I'd hold back on the self-diagnosis of panic attacks. There's a big difference between a panic attack where you are certain the world is going to end and throwing up in the bathroom all night and the usual feelings that come along with having your chest tighten up and feeling you can't breathe when faced with someone you loved and lost.

 

I know that feeling for sure. It's been years since my ex and I broke up but on the few occasions that I've run into her I've had this intense feeling of heat rushing over me and that can't breathe ache in my chest. Getting myself out of the situation by taking a walk or forcing myself to breathe deeply, and just accept that it was hard but that there was no other choice, made it much easier.

 

You'll be fine after a little more time I'm sure.

 

Best of luck

you're definitely not alone, I just got that same feeling, like my heart dropped to the floor just from reading an email my ex sent me, even though the tone of the email didnt sound he wanted to get back together, it did sound as if he genuinely missed me and still wanted me as part his life.. but he's many ways no longer the person I use to love and thereforee, even though it hurts, im determined to leave this chapter closed and move on to the next..

I can completely relate. My ex broke up with me two months ago, and whenever I'd see a tagged picture of him having fun/partying, or with a girl (even just friends)...I felt like someone punched me in the stomach and my heart rate would skyrocket and I'd feel like I couldn't breathe.

 

It's sooo hard to resist, but seriously the best thing to do is AVOID LOOKING AT FACEBOOK OR MYSPACE. Orrrr, if you must...set aside time once a week to look at it, but prepare yourself, and know that it will only make you feel worse. Look at it, feel the pain...then go for a run, call a friend, go shopping, get your mind off of it.

 

Seeing my ex happy in pictures or his innocently flirty messages to people just plummets me into darkness/depression. Every time I'm tempted to look at his page, I just ask myself: "Do you really want to torture yourself? You deserve to heal, and be happy." You might think looking at it is healthy/helps you face reality...but really, it just is a form of masochistic torture. Stop.
