Anyone up?

I think I'm dying. Panicking and feel like I'm going to pass out.

I'm trying deep breathing and it's not working. My legs are getting very weak and I feel like I keep blacking out and waking back up. am i going to pass out?

I have been there so many times. You are fine, it is just your anxiety trying to scare you. I totally understand how scary it is. Everything will be better tomorrow. I have been going through this for over 3 years after a random panic attack sent me down the rabbit hole. I had never had panic or anxiety before that night, but since then I have suffered with fear of the next attack. Praying for you my friend, you are not alone.

thank you so much for your fast reply, any reassurance helps so much. (:

You are not going to pass out, it just feels that way. I used to get so dizzy that I just knew I would pass out but I never did. I am so much better now than 3 years ago, I am not completely over it by any means but I have come a long way. You will too. It just takes time after our nerves become sensitized. I will pray for you to have a good restful night and wake up feeling better in the morning.

did you like shake uncontrollably and feel like you were dreaming?

I have done everything over the past 3 years. I had to start medication to help calm down. I was so against meds at first that I refused to start them. I thought I could get control of this disorder but I could not. I take Lexapro, Remeron, and a small amount of klonopin. I am currently weaning off the Remeron and Klonopin. I hate meds but sometimes we just can't do it ourselves. Do you take any meds?
