Hi everyone. Today was a bit of a challenge for me. I've had some minor dental issues going on lately. (And, as most of you know, the dentist is my worst panic trigger.) Well today, while work was especially busy (and customers were especially self-centered & needy ), it culminated with myself having to fight through a pretty nasty panick attack while working. Thankfully Miss Bothmann was right there with me & understood what was happening & she knew what NOT to do.....like trying to talk me out of my fear. The worst part was knowing that I was making her day more stressful (after all, she was dealing with those people too) & not being able to stop myself from panicking. So, all in all, the embarrassment was the worst part of this particular attack for me. Sincerely, Laurasia

2 awesome adaptogenic herbs i now use which help very much with anxiety issues are gotu kola and ashwagandha. They have tons of other health benefits as well. Maybe do an internet search on these herbs some time and see how you feel. Theres alot of info out there about them, how to use them, all the many things they have been used for throughout history, and some modern scientific testing validating what ancient peoples knew from expirience. They have both been used for thousands of years but in our modern world we have lost the truth of natural medicine and noone knows about these wonderful loving herbs anymore sadly. Anyway i felt inclined to share that with you as yet another means of helping on your path

Hello Empathicus.
Gotu kola and ashwagandha? I will have to look into those. Oh I know what you mean about modern medicine! I prefer natural measures when I can get them since I seem to be allergic to most anything that the doctors give to me nowadays. LOL!
Sincerely, Laurasia

I don't think anti-anxiety medications are good for the body anyway, but what the heck do I know, I'm not a doctor. I always use the deep breathing method though, when I begin to panic, because it forces your body to relax.
Also, keeping a koosh ball or a squishy ball around helps because it keeps your hands busy, and lets out the nervous energy that builds up. ^^

Hi everyone. Well as many of you (& have expereinced for yourselves) 2012 has been a stressful & anxiety-inducing year so far...especially in regards to past life related stuff. At the beginning of the year these things were very intrusive for me so I have been working hard at keeping myself distracting during the times that I don't want these things bothering me & it has been working. One of the things I has been using to distract myself was video games. Well stupid me went & bought "Resident Evil 4" without knowing that there were no cheat codes for the game (admittedly the only way that I can play my other first-person shooter games) & without knowing the plot line behind the game. In the game you play a government detective/security officer who is charged with finding & rescuing the president's daughter from an onknown hostile group (the zombies) somewhere in the eastern European forest! You have to search through abandoned buildings, avoid traps (like bear traps, trip wires, etc) all while being randomly ambushed by groups of zombies that scream at you in some eastern European-sounding language while attacking. (HELLO........Einsatz aktions against the partisans groups in Yugoslavia anyone?!) It was terribly intense for me to play (I could only play for about 10 minutes at a time) & I should have known better than to keep trying. I figured that the more that i got used to the controls & gameplay the more at ease I would get with it. Sunday evening though I sudenly awoke from a nap in the throws of one of the most HORRENDOUS panic attacks that I've ever experienced in my life for no apparent reason. This attack also lasted for nearly an hour & a half! I had no idea why, but Miss Bothmann informed me that I had been talking quite a bit in my sleep about 15 - 20 minutes before I awoke in that state, so I assume that it has something to with Hans. (I have also keep waking up numerous times at night afraid that I'm having another panic attack, but thankfully am not. And now last night I awoke a couple of times with my mind full of thoughts of Hans.) Miss Bothmann has had to do repeated chakric cleansings/balancings on me since my anxiety levels have been so high & irratic in anticipation of another bad attack. (Got to love panic disorder, eh? ) I guess that now I have no choice but to deliberately do some inner workings since something has obviously been triggered by that stupid game & is insistent on trying to come through. I'm going to be sick with my system out of whack until it happens anyway, so I may as well take an active role in trying to help it along now. ~sigh~ Sincerely, Laurasia

Oh, sweetie. *hugs* Remeber "at the end of the darkness there is always light.?" I have found that to be my own personal mantra..especially as of late with all this shifting going on in the world. I consider it a blessing to be able to be there with you..especially when you need me. Perhapr you can return the favor when the mean old monk surfaces with his memories, which I know that he is going to do soon..LOL And, as for the game. It is scary as hell. I could not even play that for 5 minutes let alone 10. In my opinion, you're brave.

Ahh, for the RE4 you shoulda asked me! LOL I play a lot of games, and finished that game 30 times. Its okay, I got scared too the first time the controller was thrown at me. (If you are still playing the game, please do not scream when you reach the laboratory; as I did, and I still do.)
Don't worry, I suffered anxiety attacks as well, usually whenever I play WW2 games on the Eastern Front, but I got used to those.

Miss Bothmann: As always, I am grateful for all that you do to help me (both directly & indirectly). I know that, of anyone in the world, I can always count on you. And, of course, I will help you with things that may come up regarding this French monk of yours. Though I would hope that there wouldn't be too many "issues" surrounding a (most likely) cloistered monk! LOL! Then again, we are likely talking about the Dark Ages here & I am definitely not ignorant to the religious upheavals of those times either. Ignotus: I most certainly will not be playing RE4 anymore. It simply isn't worth the trouble that it causes for me. (I was never even able to properly enter the first village of Pueblo!) I definitely don't need to cause my system the kind of upset that game gives to me on purpose. I've just decided to sell the game when we have our next yard sale. Incidently, I have since done a past life regression meditation in order to see why this game has triggered such extreme & unceasing anxiety within me & received some information. You can read more about the new information regarding a lifetime that I received during this meditation in this thread. Amazingly it was only partly connected to Hans' lifetime! And thankfully, after having done this recollection & received this information, my anxiety levels/symptoms have dropped back down dramatically. Sincerely, Laurasia

LOL! That is true..being cloistered maybe I was able to avoid certain things. However, from reading history that was a horrible time for religion in general..any little misstep could have one branded a heretic or worse. I will be posting the thread soon of what I have remembered so far, and luckily nothing has been what one would call negative..just depressing.
As for the game, I think that the best possible thing is to sell the game. There are plenty of other first person shooters to play without having to do the whole woods/foreign language angle. *hugs*

Well, the night before last & yesterday weren't the greatest for me. It started with having a terrible time sleeping the night before last. At first when I was first going to sleep I suddenly slammed my legs together so fast & hard that it felt strangely as though I hadn't done it (of course I realize that I had done it, but that was how it felt anyway), which started things off quite strangely. Then I would wake up very suddenly every 1/2 hour or so. And when I finally manage to stay asleep for a full hour a had a hellish frightmare & awoke kicking & in the throes of a full-blown panic attack. After that, every time that I would lie down I would start having panicky symptoms & could only stay asleep for 1/2 of an hour at a time again. Needless to say that all set me up to have my anxiety levels set to high the following day at work. I was thankfully able to nap for a few hours later in the afternoon though. And Miss Bothmann gave me a very successful chakra cleansing/balancing the following evening to fix what had been set awry by the high levels of anxiety, which did allow to me to have a very restful & undisturbed night of sleep last night. That was quite a nasty epsiode the night before though. Sincerely, Laurasia
