[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 742081, member: 18958"] I am hyperventilating here. I think that is where we put ourselves--right into a panic attack. Any relaxation strategy--body based--would be the response. The mind has gotten us on the mother disaster channel. The mind in these moments is not our friend. The body is. That is what I think. All of your strategies and those of smithmom, too, are successful because they get you out of your mind, and into a place where your body/mind can stabilize itself. OMG. I would find that traumatizing. Elsi. You knew that there was a 1 in 50000 chance or less that it was him. You knew that you had gone off the deep end. Making it into a serious enterprise--looking at dead bodies--is what people do when there is a 50-50 chance of the worst. The problem we have is that their situations are full of risk. Their every day choices put them at risk. This is their baseline. And it makes this OUR BASELINE. I used the example to M a few minutes ago: it is like I have a chronic disease. (Knowing full-well that what I was saying was extremely inappropriate. People do not say their beloved children are diseases.) Like Diabetes. That we have to learn to live with. People get over diabetes, if they eat a low carb diet and do intermittent fasting. This is true (see Jason Fung MD.) Writing this still does not help me get clarity. I do not know where I am going with this, except that I understand the agony. [/QUOTE]
