Yes, I agree with what you both said. The challenge being to reprogram your responses with a new set of habits when the darned old patterns play out and surprise you before you're even aware of what is happening. Sometimes I wonder if I my real fear isn't what is happening externally or if it is how I might humiliate futher erode my self esteem and my relationships with people Thank you Paul and Andy.

Don't know how many times I've had that trapped feeling. Breathing techniques help I find, though I know not everyone likes them. I can relate to this.

Sometimes you simply need a break, a time out. And when you have to continue working through anxiety it can be debilitating and discouraging. But of course it passes, it always does.

This desribes what I go through--although, not to the point of actually thinking I'm going to drop dead at that moment (despite the day long palpitations). Mainly, it is the sense of wanting to escape, find peace, and hope I don't just lose control right there in front of my colleagues or a client. I do the best I can to hide it (like you described), but wonder when the day will come when I finally blow up at someone (I came very close the other day). It's exhausting, and increases the stress--the feeling itself, of course, and on top of it, trying to pretend you feel fine, and can meet the demands of the job with a clear head. Flight or fight? Can't do either. Thank you. This desribes what I go through–although, not to the point of actually thinking I’m going to drop dead at that moment (despite the day long palpitations).
