panic disorder

[Chiefs04]

Over ten years ago I got diagnosed with panic disorder. After therapy and medication in time my symptoms subsided but now are back after the trauma of losing my daughter. I’m struggling with being in public and doing normal activities. Anything can spike my anxiety and it comes out of nowhere. I struggle with paranoia regarding it as well that it will come back.

hi chief

First of all I’m so sorry for the loss of you’re daughter my condolences to you and you’re family my heart goes out to you

Anxiety just has a way of rearing its ugly head when you don’t want it to and your right it just comes out of nowhere whatsoever you’ve been through a lot no wonder you’re anxious this is a huge trauma you’ve been dealt with

What I do when mine appears I keep myself busy to take my mind off the anxiety but it dose always work does it I’ve Lear over the years to let it in and embrace it and I tell it “come on then do you’re worst and then go away “ and it does subside eventually but just so deliberating when it arrives

I hope your anxiety eases soon

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your daughter. I can understand how that would trigger your panic disorder to return. Have you talked to a doctor about adjusting or adding a medication?
