Panic Attacks

Panic Attacks

Any of you lot suffered from them?

:evil:

i used to get them. absolutely horrible wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy

Ive had them about a year now but we have no idea whats causing them im just waiting to see a CBT therapist see if that helps as all else has failed

do they just come out of nowhere?

i only had a few of them, and that was enough to last me a lifetime

lay off the cowies eh

yeah, i had always been very skeptical of so called panic attacks until i had one myself ...(not long after lucy was born) ..... my hubby telling me to "just bloody calm down, you're doing it to yourself, winding yourself up" didn't help. I think it was down to stress, extra responsibility and lack of sleep. It was nasty and there isn't an instant cure from the doc, you really do just have to work through learning to deal with things that are causing the attacks in a different way.

I've not had a one for a long time now, so hopefully you'll be back to normal soon x

I dont even take them you tool!!!

Yeah they just come out of no where!! although i had my first when i was with my bro in law at a bus stop so now they primarily happen on buses, bus stops or if im with him or when im on Northumberland Street

Thats it ive managed to get to the stage where i can calm myself down on them but ive had some really bad ones which I had to go to A+E for as my heart beat was at 145 bpm!!!

Suppose il just keep plodding along lol

Obviously it helped you the CBT it is can you give me any helpful hints?

doctor was blatantly a hard house dj

I do tend to over work myself mean ive 3 jobs now aswell as Uni but ive set aside one day where i can do stuff to chill out

Ive been reading that you can mimic certain aspects of them i.e if you feel one coming on job on the spot to get your heart racing so it mimics on of they main symptoms

Could be but i dont feel stressed at all infact im probably more happier now than ive ever been in terms of my lifestyle

Unless since having my 1st one last year im assuming every time im on a bus / bus stop im going to have one or maybe im going off on a tangent

Could be stress over working myself

I used to get them a couple of years ago from really over doing the rave. Went to the doctors and had to take a week off work to get my head together. I wouldnt wish it upon anyone. Its really hard to describe the feeling, just pure terror. Was my own fault though so i probably deserved it..great

Aye there not nice at all most the time I can cope well with them im on these daft tablets to help with the main symptoms but im wanting off them which is why im trying to get as much info off other people

Im on Citalopram its a mild anti depressant but is also used to help those with panic attacks!! theyve worked slightly but im not convinced there for me reckon i could find other ways to get over them

panic attacks are for the weak

its all about sleep paralysis
