Panic attacks/anxiety

[dazzledbylight]

no time for a longer reply now...but....

you have been having a very awful time.....sweetie.
My condolences. Anxiety attacks....no it's not so uncommon. And it's scary as hell.

I suffer from panic attacks and depression. I'm on medication and I am in therapy with a wonderful doctor. I try to take it at one day at a time. I feel everyone's pain here.

You are all so amazing. Thank you so much for helping me through this. The effects are finally starting to wear away and I feel a real, honest to God, cold coming on

Glad to hear you are feeling better sweetie.

not surprised there - when your body goes through intense emtional stress it can make it easier to get a physical illness

almost everyone has at least one panic attack in their lives (mine prior to taking boards - big whoppin' nasty one at that) so there is nothing to be ashamed about.

Hope you feel better soon

Have you guys done GA? The one thing that scares me is being on the floor and having a panic attack

So glad you mentioned that I am afraid of exactly the same thing. The night I got my tickets online I thought I was going to have a heart attack, I could not slow my heartrate down.
I also have had a panic attack in the past, at a packed cinema watching Hannibal (I knew the horrible part that was coming and all of a sudden it just happened). I have done meditation in the past which I think is terribly helpful, you can talk your way out of it sometime and I also take medication for depression (i think i am starting to see a link here).

Sweetie, be assured you are not alone on this but follow your own heart as to the best way to handle it, you will be OK.
