B.A.D. and Panic Attacks

Having used Breathing exercises for several months as part of the meditation regime (Not really the correct word to use there) I have managed to decrease the number of panic attacks. I have been able to go up for Communion during Mass without having taken diaz. For 12 months I had to take diaz., in order to feel OK when it came time in the service to stand up, join the queue and shuffle along slowly in order to receive communion. Progress has been made.

The next step forward is to conduct the readings at the hospital chapel without having taken diaz. It will all depend upon how I feel in myself upon one of the chapel services.

Avoiding caffeine and sugars does make a difference. I cannot sleep at night if I have taken either or both, prior to going to bed. They do cause problems in the mind!
