Severe Anxiety attacks

[ashleybakerr01]

I just had a severe panic attack again about hour ago...i almost passed out it got so bad and my tongue felt tingly. Im now exhausted but scared to take a nap bc I just feel insane right now 😭. I was out with friends bc i felt my meds help enough but like an hour in i had to come home and ive been crying since. I did just start celexa little over 2 weeks ago. But Idk what to do. I feel like people think im insane bc i almost always wanna go to the emergency room it gets so bad and I convince myself if an allergic reaction or something. Im at a loss right now , and any advice would be appreciated😩

Do not be afraid to sleep, ashley, this is one of the better ways of coping. panic attacks are one of the bodies way of coping with stress/anxiety (which I hasten to add is a normal reaction to modern day living, (stress and anxiety) not genetic as many people believe, nor is it a mental illness - although it can turn that way - if you let it! As I said earlier take control! I did at the beginning of my 70th birthday and wish so much I had been advised to do this in my thirties when it first started.

I also have an issue with always thinking about going to the emergency room when I'm having anxiety issues. The Celexa may work for you, but any med usually takes some time to really kick in and help. I would recommend taking it easy for a bit and allow yourself to just be in a calm, safe environment.

I appreciate your guys time to respond. I did just get out of the mental hospital about two weeks ago, do too being suicidal and that's when I started the Celexa. I was prescribed it for my major depressive disorder and anxiety/ panic attack disorder. I was also extremely malnourished because I had completely stopped eating for months. I had to miscarriages in under a year, and this second one took the biggest toll on me. I was 14 weeks with my second, I had to give birth to him because he set in to labor. He was already gone before born, still boring. They think it was I placenta rupture. And I had also just got out of a very toxic and abusive relationship about a a week before. The day I got out of the Hospital was also the year anniversary too the day I lost my first pregnancy at 6: weeks, September 4th.
