Cognitive behaviour therapy That's the fella. Having taken the decision to take the plunge, as it were, I'm rather looking forward to it! I know at least two psychiatrists (although not the one I mention above), and these are very, very smart people. |

I'm heading up the wooden hill, none too soon. Off to the doctor in the morning on account of having had two nasty anxiety attacks in the past week, not that there's much doctors can do about those I think, but probably worth getting things checked. Feeling pretty calm tonight though. Very sorry to hear about that - I had a short spate of panic attacks myself about 4 years ago, they aren't pleasant, I know. Hopefully it's just a phase, the result of various clashing stresses all accumulating, producing conflicting thought patterns, which will dissipate soon? |

I was rather sad to hear that one of my nephews seems to have inherited my people-claustrophobia.
My sister doesn't often take them to church (her beliefs are rather undefined in a way that I hope leaves her open to independent thought, and her husband is an atheist who doesn't mind going to church) but she does at Christmas and Easter at the very least. Eldest nephew decided that he was too grown up (7) to need to go to the children's class, but younger nephew follows the rest. Suddenly it's all too much - too many people making too much noise in too small a space and he has to get out. He spends the rest of the service with the smallest children and my sister.
After dealing with that little bit of PTSD I had four years ago, I came to recognise that my mild anxiety attacks triggered during that period were of a more advanced kind to my reaction to crowds of people. Until that point I suppose I'd thought myself rather pathetic and self-indulgent, but it was really positive to recognise that there was actually a problem.
I still find crowds (and noise) rather difficult but I'm becoming much more realistic about how to cope with it, and know when to duck out for some fresh air.

Thanks to all for the good wishes - actually no treatment was offered, so nothing to sniff at, but at least (which was my principal concern) all the organs are doing what they should be doing, more or less, so I won't get pushy about it unless it becomes a more long-term problem.

Would do no harm, nonetheless, to try this treatment, perhaps?  |

My eyes!  Time for bed. Made solid progress with the piece today. Notation seems to be coming together, just wish it was all working a bit faster... Time seems to have run away with me again so it's pumpkins for me. Night. Martle - those llamas are fantastic. Richard - that godzillol you posted yesterday absolutely made my day so thanks Mort - that's scary. I hope it's been painted and isn't naturally like that... (never having grown a pumpkin (sounds like it should be the name of a piece) I don't know if they start off green and turn orange over time or whether they are born orange. Answers on a postcard). |

Never mind pumpkins*, what I want to know is what colour martles are born, before turning green when they grow up.
Night all. Dulces sueños and all that jazz.

Having slept off my slepp deprivation,belated Best Wishes to Martle and RB and their CBT. As a technique is fairly simple to work with on practically-seated issues and demotic. I tend to find that it accomodates other influences, and thus diverse personalities, fairly easily, so you'll find your own ways to make it work.imho panic attacks are a very sane somatic reaction to periodic faster-paced main agendas or underpinnings.

My reaction to the idea of cognitive therapies has always been a bit like Tippett's attitude to psychoanalysis - the fear that creative ability might be somehow related to psychic disturbance, and that addressing the latter might adversely affect the former. Of course, that could be just my elaborate quasi-scientific rationalisation of the idea of 'suffering for art'. |
