panic attacks

[prisonmike7]

my panic attacks are so random. i can be in the kitchen making food and all of the sudden it will happen. it happens while i am driving. it happens when i am watching tv. it has happened in the shower. i just dont understand what is making them happen. i have gotten better about trying to prevent them when i start to feel one happening, but then it just feels like my heart is racing and i become nauseous, like the beginning of one would be, but it just stays around for about 15 minutes until i feel okay again. im just feeling defeated and that i have no control.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I totally understand. It's hard when it's so random...you think I'm just taking a shower...why am I panicking? How are you trying to prevent them? I try to breathe and just keep telling myself that I'm okay. I figure with all the virus stuff even if we try not to pay attention to it, it's still increasing the anxiety.

Take care and hang in there!

i normally just try taking deep breathes and telling myself to calm down. i have gotten better about not having a full one but the lingering feeling of rapid heart rate and nausea is starting to get to me. and i 100% agree, and i start back to work on monday and i work at surgery center and that probably is not helping

I usually pop a peppermint with the nausea...kinda helps sometimes. Good luck on Monday.
