panic attack
Thursday, December 15th, 2005Well, — jotting here trice a day, hmm dat didn’t happen.
Anyway, I am supposed to start making some effort in fulfilling my dreams—getting an A for my so-called thesis, or at least graduate. Seem like I’m making excuses for myself. I am trying very hard to forget yet it bugs me like when leman (my cat) didn’t get fed for 95 minutes.
I was thinking of changing my title, but farid said no hope in that. It’s a long shot, cuz we’re talking about puan amalina here. It’s eating my self-esteem and causing anxiety attack twice a day. Actually, my couldnt be bothered-ness is terrifying me more, not the problem of how am I going to finish it.
My co-supervisor is a great help, but as he explains, I seem to be pending 2 sentences, and it goes on.. and I am too ego to ask him to repeat. That wud smudge my reputation ( and who knew I was building one..hehe) . no… just not so keen on having people look at me like I am close to Joey tribiani.. ( but I honestly think Michael is even more clueless)
So when the tv is airing 3G commercial, I sighed.
Hmm, the more I hear it, the name 3G sort of reminded me of some hazardous substance..those uranium, selenium, cyanide and stuff.. like saying,,, ‘176ml of 3G substance was stolen’.. and u can hear gasps from people who actually care about the danger the world is facing.
So I read in this ‘new choices in natural healing’ book I gave my apak, and look for panic attack remedies.. and boy, what was I thinking…
“ to subdue panic, close your eyes, breathe (why wud we do things and not breathe?) , imagine you in a closed coffin wrapped like a mummy (hah! Wudnt that encourage claustrophobia (is it?)) accept your feelings and stay a while. Then push open the coffin, Step out and unwrap your mummy bandages (what the..?) . Crumple it into a ball and throw it into the dark cloud (if it’s sunny then we wud loose the mummy effect, kan) . watch the ball go into the center of d cloud and break it up. Allow the rain ( there’s rain too?Wow) to wash over u and realize the panic is gone. Do it 3 minutes every 2 hour”
If u tell this imagery method to a panicking 5 year old. He’d drop dead at the 1st minute.
Friends, give me some words that sounds like encouragement.
