I am sorry Kristen but I think I didn't myself quite clear. My point is that it doesn't matter how I relieve the tension; relaxing my body, visualization or what ever. The point is that as soon as I relax I get anxiety attacks. That is why I don't want (dare) to relax because the anxiety attack which proceeds any relaxation I get is a lot worse than the tension.
My question is: do you get anxiety attacks as soon as you relax?
This is what is freaking me out because I think it is a real catch 22. I can’t relax because as soon as I relax I get anxiety attacks. I am depressed and tiered because of all this tension I have to carry around, but I can’t get rid of the tension because I get anxiety attack. Do you see what I mean?
