I am really struggling with panic disorder

Can anyone share any support groups or buddy chats for anxiety and depression or panic disorder? I am really struggling and my panic attacks have gotten so bad, my heart rate is through the roof and Ive been throwing up at night. I'm worried something else is wrong with me and I can't shake the nausea, etc.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I've struggled with a panic disorder since I was 8.. I get it. There are still nights I end up in the ER because I'm convinced I'm dying. Or I feel out of it and not here. Small tiny things spark it and once it's spiked it doesn't go down. I wish I could say something to help more but I really can't. You're always welcome to message me about it, for a distraction, or for some ways I calm myself down or just for a friend. (Even if it's only a little bit, I'd rather my panic attack be tolerable than through the roof.)

I guess I just wish I could do something. They are so intolerable I can't imagine anyone else going through this. I am so sorry.

Hi there. I too have suffered intense panic attacks for many years when, like you, would think I was about to die! It starts in your feet and travels up through the body getting more intense etc. I have taught myself over the years how to head it off before it gets that bad. CBT worked for me and armed me with the necessary tools on how to manage the symptoms. Initially I would put an elastic band on my wrist and twang it! Let your body flop as best you can, in a comfy chair, and try and and get your breathing to slow down. The aim of the game is to relax as much as possible, fear finds it difficult to take a grip in a relaxed body. It’s not easy but with practice I’m sure it might just help. Take care, there are so many people out there just like you so know you are not alone.

I'm also struggling with a panic disorder. I can't barely leave my house longer than hour without having a panic attack anymore. They got worse when I started my meds. I know it's coming on when my skin begins to burn and I can't breathe and I almost faint. Just know you ARENT alone. I haven't found a way to cope with them still. They just kind of hit out of nowhere and feel like I'm dying 😔. I try to fight it and it seems to make it worse. So I let myself feel it, and work it's way out of my system. Doesn't seem to last as long then when I try fighting it.

Not what you're looking for?
