Does anyone else feels weird after that one panic attack that happened months ago ??

How bad was the panic attack?

I had a pretty brutal string of attacks. 3 months ago I had maybe 5 big and 20 small panic attacks in 8-9 days and it put me in a state of depression and gave me physical symptoms im still dealing with.

What symptoms do you have?

I developed PTSD from one panic attack I had in Nov 2015. I haven't been the same since. I feel fearful all the same, always feel impending doom like something bad is gonna happen, feel like nothing is real at times (derealization) and countless other weird symptoms ever since that panic attack. I was so normal before that and I miss the way I used to be

Omg mine was Nov 13th 2015 wow

Were you scared around the anniversary?

I tried to not think about it.

But I think I normally suffer from SAD, so this year has been tough again.

I just want to feel normal againnand have some peace of mind, knowing that this will all pass eventually. Even though it has been over a year now.

Yes I was fearful of the anniversary last year, and the holidays were scary for me, my anxiety was so high and I was so fearful for no reason and depressed because of it. I was never this way until after Nov 2015 after that first panic attack

Funny thing. My anxiety symptoms began on the 24th January 2016. So last year. I was honestly beginning to feel better and maybe two weeks ago i had my first attack at work as I had to do training at work for the first time and I don't really have any friends there so social anxiety was off the roof and caused my panic attack for a few days I was alright but not lately I seem to be feeling worse and I realized I'm getting closer to the 24th which will be the anniversary so maybe that's triggering it. Strange x

[RyRywifey in reply to Angiecis22]

Yes that's probably exactly what it is. That's how I was the week prior to mine

[Angiecis22 in reply to RyRywifey]

Yeah I thought maybe that attack triggeredit as it was the worst I had since maybe July/august but now that I think about it it's probablythe anniversary date

Well James, now you are seeing that you are not alone. Others have shown you how that first bad panic attack can leave you scarred for awhile. Know that it won't always be that way. First you will fear where it happened, when it happened and how it happened. Eventually you will learn to accept that it's not the place or situation that prompted the panic but just a passing thought with symptoms filled with adrenaline surge. You will find that as you push forward and not allow it to paralyze you, it will slowly crumble and fade away.
