Panic attacks

[Truth21]

Hi - I have had anxiety and panic attacks since I was in my mid 20’s, so it has been going off and on for 20 years. I will have general anxiety off and on monthly and I have learned to deal with it. The panic attaches don’t happen as often as they did when I was younger. I can go months or even a year without having a bad panic attack. Lately (last week or two) I have had 2 bad panic attacks. I live on my own but I have a girlfriend who has been in my life for 3 years. Over that time i obviously have had anxiety and sometimes bad anxiety. Rarely have I had bad panic attacks that I have had the last week and a half. She helps me when needed. I just don’t want my panic attacks to go back to being severe again. It scares me. I feel like I am going to choke or pass out (though I know that I never have choked or passed out in the past) but it’s very hard to understand that during a panic attack. I know being inside and not being able to do the normal day to day activity that we all were doing before the virus has bothered me. Anyone else having trouble or any help would be appreciated

Thank you for replying. Exactly I feel trapped also. I feel like if I need actual medical help (which I know I won’t), the hospital won’t be able to help me due to the virus.

Again, the same with me. My dad recently had cancer so he is in the high risk category.
