Panic attack again!

[Mindfulnessxo]

Having a panic attack as we speak! Heart racing shoulder pain and Tingly heat sensation on hands and feet! I feel like this is it! I’m dying for sure 🙄 I came out of no where TRIGGERED from nothing! I was just laying in bed and I JUMPED UP and grabbed my husbands head and woke him up it’s currently 11:30PM I was just on my phone when I suddenly felt the attack! I haven’t had one in a few weeks or even months I don’t remember but now it’s coming back! I’m seeing a psychiatrist on the 19th! And I’m super anxious I neeed medication I know I do. I can’t keep doing this alone I feel like my body is deteriorating from all these symptoms and sudden attacks !

Can you get your appointment changed?

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to Dolphin14]

Unfortunately I cannot. She was actually booked for a Month!!!! I waited this long Might as-well keep it

My primary care did give me a few Xanax to hold me off till I see the psychiatrist so it’s ok.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

Hope you feel better

I'm glad you at least have the Xanax to help.

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to Dolphin14]

Thanks dear! ❤️

I noticed you posted this 3 hours ago. Hope the attack has passed. I feel for you because I understand the suffering. And the scary vulnerability when it comes out of nowhere. At least if it’s an identifiable trigger, I can address that. What I find helps is to figure the disease/chemical is the trigger and if I can accept that, I breathe a little easier and can use my meditation tools, etc. let us know how you’re doing. We’re here for you.

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Thank you! Iam doing ok right now just a little detached from myself but I’m Ok I’m trying to stay positive! After these attacks the aftermaths are annoying feeling weird and just not yourself sucks

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

Yes it does. My best positive tool is my warped sense of humor. I can usually find a dry, cynical smirk in any situation. Which in itself is ironic that cynicism can be used as a positive approach 😱

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Wow maybe I might have to find my positive approach I have so much negative thoughts but I’ll find my way

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

You will find a way. Some people say I shouldn’t fight my depression and anxiety, and I don’t fight the reality that I have a mental illness, but I fight against being a victim of my disease. It is what it is and if I’m doing everything I know how, I accept the rest. Serenity Prayer works wonders. “God grant me the Serenity to Accept the thing I can’t change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Amen

You not alone I have it now for I think almost 4 jears

Started the Xanax but afther view houres I feel the tension so it's also sudden when I am outside coming from nowhere

Onbelievble

I still don't understand how this come

[sweetiepye]

I'm pretty sure you're still alive . You so clearly describe a panic attack it brought back the memory of having one. It's hard to believe we can construct one on our own as those symptoms feel so real. They are real, but not real. You have to learn to trust that they are not and continue with whatever you are doing.

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to sweetiepye]

Very true!!!! Sucks but I just have to convince myself that I’ve been here before it’ll pass it’s nothing. But it so hard

[sweetiepye in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

It is hard, very hard. It can be done though. If you can catch it in the beginning and talk yourself through it .

Oh dear 😫 I didn't get them since many months, but couples of days a go I had one which was really strong 😕 I was sitting with my family and suddenly I felt like I was daying it was very scary 😭 but then I thought maybe I should run and try to neglect it and don't think about it so it doesn't come back. Please don't give it a lot of attention if you didn't have it since a while. I hope you get well and stay strong 💪

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to Horse-lover]

Yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve had one and it came back strongggg!!!!

But thank you and same to you! ❤️
