Hello Nat
Before I got agoraphobic I would get this all the time , it is anxiety and like having a panic attack while you are out they are dreadful but please keep going out even if you have to wait for OH to try it again as that is how I ended up stuck in now 19 years and would hate that for you
So tell yourself was an anxiety attack even if I felt ok that is all that happened but I won't let it stop me
I had an awful night got in such a state I ended up phoning paramedics out , they thought I was ok but gone 3 this Morning before we went to bed
Tried to stay calm today but can feel it starting to come on , does not help that I have been waiting for a Doctors call all day and I just feel there is no support and worn out trying x
O lulu I’m not surprised you rang them out I don’t blame you at all I would of done that too... I bet you’re exhausted 😴 you’re right though there isn’t enough help or support and it’s cruel you been waiting all day for a call then didn’t even get one I would put in a complaint sweetie that’s terrible
Yes I know it was natural to phone them out I just have to watch myself though as I might start wanting it as my safety blanket and be phoning them all the time , I know what I am like
She did phone in the end for the use she was , I wanted something for my anxiety , more than what I take , now bear in mind she is the Doctor and because of all the meds I am now on she admitted she will have to look into it because of my heart she is not sure what would be safe !!!
Hi Nat its just a panic attack, well not just a panic attack u know what I mean. Its only symptoms of adrenaline being released into our bodies. I know how hard it is to just accept it and carry on with your normal day but retreating to safe place i:e home isn't best idea, try n remain in situation where panic attack came n let it pass as it will. Running home strengthens thinking that your home is only safe place you have thus leading to agoraphobia, fear of leaving home. And I know this because I know suffer agoraphobia. So no matter how hard just try n breathe relax n not fight the anxious feeling it will soon dissipate good luck.
There has been no change in medication? I know that changing my meds once changed my mood. I didn't have a care in the world as I tipping things over. That was only for my heartburn meds.
Strange you should post this....the very same happened to me as i was walking the dog this pm. Really enjoying the walk in the sunshine when ..boom....soooo hot as the adrenaline flooded in and wet through with sweat, dizzy and feeling faint. I'd not had itbefore and it took a long time to convince myself it was some kind of panic attack.
Yeh it felt the same it was just strange I’ve had anxiety for many years never had this one before hope you feel ok now I feel a little wobbly but chilling out xx
