Panic Attacks and Obsessive thoughts

hello everyone!

So glad to be joining this group. I had health with panic disorder, anxiety, and Tourette’s for some time now, but have noticed a big turn in how I can manage. Last year I began planning a trip to Australia so my partner and I could go and meet his family. That trip ended a month ago, but before then that was all I was planning and thinking about. I had a bad panic attack one of the days I was there about dying, and now that I’m home and my days aren’t so filled it’s been a real struggle to stop the thoughts of “what if I’m dying” and the incessant panic that comes with it. I am wondering if anyone has any tools or ideas that have worked for them that help with the constant feeling of “I’m dying”.

Welcome to the community

It sounds like keeping your self busy helped you quite a bit? Is there something you can start focusing on now that the trip is over?

Do you have a therapist ?

This is what has been happening to me recently, as well. I don't know why I feel that I'm dying, but it always feels so real in the moment...yet, I'm still here. I hope we get the help we need. This is not fun.

This is so helpful, thank you for sharing. I’ve switched meds and that’s been helping a lot, and I’ve talked about the accepting the panic instead of fighting it in therapy. Definitely going to try and implement this stuff.
