Panic Increasing


Yesterday I got dropped at the gym to fill out the paperwork to end my membership. I can't go there anymore because of the anxiety.

While I was there filling out the paperwork I was fine but then I had time to burn because my husband was at lunch with the kids. I did a very light workout, keeping my heart rate at around 110bpms (ridiculously low) and was okay though I did have to fight the panic a couple of times. I also noticed that the panic would increase if other people were present. There were two other woman in the room with me at the beginning and I felt to be on high alert, like super sensitive to them. When they left, I relaxed/calmed substantially.

Toward the end I had to wait about 5 minutes at the front of the gym for my husband to arrive. I had a strong exposed feeling that bothered me. I am not use to it and so it scared me. This feeling is linked directly to the panic episodes and only occurs when I am not in the presence of my family or in my own home. It is like the entire space around me is open and expansive all of a sudden and I feel small and vulnerable and as if suddenly the world "sees" me when they didn't before. I suspect this is similar to how a person with agoraphobia feels, but why am I feeling this all of a sudden?

Later in the day while back at my home I began to feel strange, as if I were receiving communication from someone but no one was there. I also saw movement out of the corner of my eye but no one was there when I turned to look. With this I felt as if I am being told to be on alert but then nothing substantial happened. It began to make me feel a bit paranoid and I had to remind myself that I am in a precarious state at this time, though exactly what that means I am not sure.

There are other minor things I am noticing. I am purposefully avoiding leaving my home because of the strange "huge world" feeling I am experiencing. I don't like feeling small and vulnerable and since that is now happening when I leave my house and go out and about to shop or whatever, I am lingering more and more at home. Home = safe. If my husband is with me, I don't feel as exposed, but when he leaves my side and I am on my own, I ultimately end up feeling nervous and strange. If I am with my kids I tend to be okay, too, though I fight panic most of the time if I am out with them mostly when I am driving.

I have no explanation for this sudden shift in perception. Why do I feel so exposed when out and about in the world and interacting with others outside of my family? The space around me seems so big and I feel so small and vulnerable. It is like I am unable to process the energies of the world, of others not close to me and of varying situations all of a sudden. I can't function in the world if I feel like this!

There also follows me around most of the time now a feeling of impending doom, death and endings. Along with it there is a disconnection with life that is increasing day by day. I can't help but think I am slowly leaning toward a complete mental breakdown.

Of course, then there are the times I feel completely normal and functional. This is when I am at home and have no need to leave home - so most of the waking day thankfully.

I have been praying for assistance, asking for this panic/paranoia I've been feeling/experiencing to resolve. I need to be able to function in life if I am to live at all!

Memory of Between Lives

I keep being amazed by the things I am remembering. Today I remembered the moments before I entered into this body. I had always remembered seeing Earth and feeling drawn to come down into a body, but I could not remember anything more. Well, I did today. I remembered walking along a path with a woman who I instantly recognized as "Mom" but not from this life but maybe another one but I cannot place the life at this time. She had shoulder length brown hair that was very smooth and pulled back from around her face. She was smiling and very happy. Can still see her clearly. She was excited and encouraging. The place where we were was very bright and looked like Earth with green grass, trees and blue sky. I could see benches along the path that were bright white and the walkway we were walking on was lined with a similar white stone edging. The woman walked with me to a domed shaped building. It was not very large and seemed almost out of place as it was just sitting at th

The Only Way Out, Is Through

In my years of conversations with Steven and in my often frustrated state, I would ask Steven, "Why are we here?" And he always answers, "To learn". And in deeper conversations he would explain that we as spiritual beings are here on Earth to experience life in a body. This information always set well with me except I didn't understand why we as spiritual beings would be so interested in living in a human body. Surely we have many more exciting prospects in the universe than a human body? So I was often left still wondering, "Why?" Last night, while having an in-depth, spiritual conversation with my husband, I suddenly got the answer to my question. It was one of those times when I feel that I somehow connected with my higher self and channeled information from that part of myself without really knowing I was doing it. It just flowed out of me in response to a conversation my husband and I were having about a calmness I had been feeling for qu

Answers in Dreams

Prior to bed I again asked for clarification, this time shifting my question to, "Give me more specifics on what you mean by "face". Face what exactly?" Dream: Suitor  I was invited to a man's home where we had dinner and a nice chat. He was a nerdy (something has been overlooked) sort of guy with a pronounced nose, thin face and light hair. He was tall and thin, wore glasses and appeared to be somewhat young. We got along well, though, and I enjoyed his company. We spoke about his plans, his education and other things. He invited me to be more than friends. I declined. I remember being attracted to the attention he was giving me but understanding the implications allowing myself to overly indulge in his attention. I did not want to encourage him knowing I was unable to reciprocate. I had thoughts about my husband and family at this time. I remember him telling me he had bought the house (soul, self) we were in. His believed if he owned a house and was
