Panic disorder back in full force effecting my life badly

[Adamj]

So I use to post on here regularly when I was 16-18 or so I’m 22 now all my stress and anxiety and panic attacks have come back started as a vicious cycle the beginning of march was in an interview and started freaking out my body got a wave of tingling I think it really is stress but my health anxiety is telling me it’s my heart again. My question is has anyone else had their anxiety and panic disorder flare up a couple years after you thought it was under control I feel like I’m 16 again with the panic attacks. I’m trying to rewire my brain again to be like you’re going to be okay I also know it’s not good to be sitting at home all day it’s making it worse. But today was mowing my paps lawn and I sent myself into a panic attack thinking I was dying I was breathing a lot so much that every deep breath made my shoulders hurt and having a deep breath and holding it made me beyond dizzy it spiraled into my lips and hands getting all tingly and such it was scary. My pap ended up giving me an Ativan and it still took a couple minutes for me to calm down and I decided to lay down on his couch and I passed out and napped for like 30 minutes my body was just so tired. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I always thought exercise was supposed to help but i sent myself into a panic attack was not fun and I feel bad for my pap trying to hep me.

Hi Adam, Sorry you are going through this, it's horrible.

It can happen though, especially after times of stress or isolation.

Maybe talk to your doctor about CBT or medication x
