The last time I really remember having a PANIC ATTACK like a hard hitting one was in October when I was off my meds.... Today it hit me like a ton of bricks I was taking a hotbath and I felt myself getting hotter and hotter, as I type I still have the shakes, throat hard, chest tight, and hard to think really clearly..... But I did breath through it , sat in front of a fan for a bit and counted back very slowly from 200 I made it to 148 before I felt a diffrence then around 120 before I was able to walk around , then about 100 till I could walk down stairs In this time I fought with my mind about taking a pill to make it stop then and mess up my taper, I fought with myself about the fact that I was praying I would never have another attack Then it hit me, remember this is a feeling yes my heart is beating fast well cause I have chemicals going everywhere in my body, I lightheaded because im thinking myself worse, so I took my breaths, counted down, and here I am alive lol, dont get it twisted I am shaken like crazy from it all.......I still feel all upset and sick, but I am here I am not dead , it is NOT going to kill me AND i didnt take any extra meds!!!! So proud sick but very damn proud lol MAN panic SUCKS! Lee |

I am not a doctor although wish I was. LOL All of my comments are strictly my opinion only from my own experiences. I am on no medications at the time but have taken medication in the past. So anything I say about medication is only my opinion from the experiences I have had while on medication. Never stop taking or take medication without talking to your doctor first. |

Awww thanks Amy I am soo not awesome haha Im a push off and sad but your right I did make it Im still here and I guess the more I get through it and the more I talk possitive to myself and make it through them at some point the brain has to reprogram itself enough to really over come these damn thinds lol..... I think you are right I need a few more lol Im sure to totally over come the fear of them cause looking back on yesterday I am still worried about that happening again but like I said I think I will one day get to the point where it will be ok and yes they are man they can cure so many things hell even help cancer go away sometimes but we have nothing to even help get rid of panic only cover it up while we pop these pills Lee |

I'm kind of new to this, haha. But well done! I'd give anything to be able to control my panic attacks. I've tried counting backwards in my head, and actually forget the numbers :/ (: |

You will in time, it take time and practice. You can and will do it, you just have to want it enough to make changes in your life, find out what your triggers are and believe you deserve to feel good and combat panic. It can be controlled and you can live a fuller life. Don't give up. You'll get the hand of it we are here for you. PM any time if you like or have a question.

Hi Lee! long time, no see. I haven't been on here much. I have been trying to ignore my symptoms when I get them. It works! If I don't feed into it, and I just go about my business, eventually I can breath normal again. I know you were doing something similar...glad to see it is working for you too! |
