Really, if I had an enemy, I would tell him ...

I hope you suffer from panic attacks,😅 because, really, it is one of the most complicated and most difficult sensations that human beings can live with.

That feeling of tightness, tachycardia, headache, dizziness, feeling that we are going to die, feeling that we can't stand it, it's usually 3 in the morning, that is, it's a terrible thing, followed by a long insomnia...God, it's horrible 😪.

Above all, I wish that the expectation of the future is not always negative, and where relaxation and tranquility are fundamental, which I long for when it comes time to go to sleep.

Many times the good things that happen to us come loaded with anxiety. I call it good anxiety, for example, when my children were born, my academic graduation, all of them, even when I finished my doctorate, my anxiety was very bad 😰 starting a new job, a trip, an achievement. These are all elements that fill us with anxiety. And it's normal.

The fact is that bad things also come loaded with anxious processes, sometimes very bad, and at the end of the road, well, nothing, everything is evolving, everything is changing, and many times when we have anxiety, we think we know what the future is, or we think we know what's going to happen to us and not only that, we also think that what's going to happen to us is terrible, it's bad.

I recently had a very high peak of anxiety, it was in November 2024 when my husband after a heart attack, underwent an emergency triple coronary aorto bypass.

And the signs came, those terrible symptoms of anxiety with negative and catastrophic thoughts, added to extreme tiredness, palpitations and nervousness, irritability, stomach problems, until I fell into a panic.

It is the fear of the unknown, it is the feeling of losing control and not knowing how to get back on the way home. It is a terrible fear of uncertainty and even more, it makes us panic to panic.

If you feel this way, as I felt, this is abnormal.

That awakening at three o'clock in the morning that takes our sleep away in a heartbeat with tachycardia, with the tension at a million and that persistent fear of death, which in turn turns into “it wasn't a heart attack, it was a crisis of anguish”, which in the end instead of relief, what it produces is unease.

We all suffer to a greater or lesser degree from anxiety, but nothing is comparable to the phone that is not answered, to the call that is not answered, to the love that is presumed gone, to the couple that feels with another, and jealousy arrives.

What I want the most every day is...

Living a quiet life does not mean living a life without problems. Living a quiet life means that you are tackling the problems in your life moment by moment, day by day, without that negative expectation of the future where you feel that everything bad is going to happen and where relaxation and learning to be calm are part of your life.
