Break ups?? Walk in the park

I would like to say , yes break ups are terrible, but I would take a break up over a panic attack attack anyday of the week, I know they are similar , from the time you awake to the time you go to sleep you have that person in your mind, and it's awful and terrible, but time heals those wounds,, try living with panic attacks and anxiety that never goes away, yes some days it's controlled but it's always in the back of your mind. I highly dougt in 30 years someone will still be thinking of a breakup, but with panic attacks they are there for life!!!

I think a break up has a grieving process. The length of time that takes is very individual.

Anxiety and panic shouldn't be all day every day. This requires professional help, self help and possibly medication.

Are you saying the relationship was causing the anxiety and panic? If so, in the long run, it's probably best to end that type of relationship. It isn't worth it

I agree, I hate how my marriage ended and it was painful, but time does help the wound. Anxiety changes; at least for me throughout the last 15 yrs. I've yet to meet someone that says there anxiety just stopped and there ok without medication. Just haven't heard of it from someone that's battled with it for years.
