On Verge of a Panic Attack

[LDavis1993]

I can feel it coming on… Ugh. I don’t know what I did to trigger this. I don’t want to go crazy 😞 please let me be okay…

Youre ok, you didnt do anything to bring this on yourself, it cant make you crazy. Its very uncomfortable but it will pass

[LDavis1993 in reply to Artistfriend]

I’m trying not to freak out

[Artistfriend in reply to LDavis1993]

I know, i know its scary but try and settle into it, dont overthink it. Sometimes its about making things easier the next time

[LDavis1993 in reply to Artistfriend]

What do I do I’m miserable right now. Am I going to go crazy?

[Artistfriend in reply to LDavis1993]

Your not crazy your body is just releasing stress hormones and your mind is trying to figure it out. dont try and figure it out right now just do your best to accept it

[LDavis1993]

Feels like I’m going to lose it. I hate this so much.

[LDavis1993]

Took my klonopin so slightly better. I need to ask my doctor for more just for these emergencies. Afraid he will say no.

[LDavis1993]

my old doctor gave me a quantity of 30 klonopin .5mg. The new doctor gives me 15 and says I won’t need it after the Zoloft.

[LDavis1993]

Decreasing the quantity yes. Not the dosage. I used to be on 2mg years ago. I definitely need the klonopin for emergencies. Breakthrough anxiety can happen even though I’m on Zoloft. I hate to ask my doctor but I need to. I don’t want to be a burden on him.

[LDavis1993]

They said I might be able to get a refill but I’m supposed to give a 72 hour notice…. He’s trying to take me off so I don’t need to give a notice… I’m frustrated. Didn’t sleep at all last night.

You’re not going crazy!! But, have you tried the offensive approach? Like don’t fight it but tell the anxiety ok come on give it to me the whole panic attack I don’t care and move on with your day. I know it might sound nuts, but I’m learning in therapy when you obsess to avoid it as it amps up and throws the signs it’s around the corner, it makes it way worse and guarantees it’s coming. I used to think it I just sit scared and avoid it won’t happen. Hang in there. Praying for you.

[LDavis1993 in reply to SayNOtoPanic]

Thank you I will try that

[LDavis1993]

Not very good

[LDavis1993]

Yea anxiety. I was doing so good.

[LDavis1993]

Hate this feeling. Want it to go away.

[LDavis1993]

It gets rid of the attack?

[LDavis1993]

I’m going to try that. Thank you for sharing.
