Hi Girls,
I was just outside enjoying the great weather doing yardwork when all of a sudden I got dizzy and everything felt unreal and fake for a good 5 seconds, like I didn't know where I was. Then my heart started pounding and my feet and hands went numb.
Now I am so shook up that I don't know what to do. I feel unreal and fake and it's starting to take me over full force. I am SO SCARED that there is something more wrong with me, maybe this isn't anxiety and that I did too many drugs in my younger days and its cathching up with me now.
The unreal feeling is really taking over and I just don't know what to do. I HATE this and I want my life back.!!
Do any of you get these symptoms when you have a panic attack? Does it come out of nowhere like mine just did?
I have also not been feeling great all week. Like the anxiety was just hiding.. when I get up in the morning it is so hard for me to face the day.
OMG I am just freaking out and so scared.. I want to be NORMAL again. Just a short 4 months ago I had it all.. now i have anxiety, if thats what it is.
I just took a klonopin but I think that I have built up a tolerance to it.. who knows.
I just need some kind words and my questions answered.. thanks everyone.


You're ok, Heather. I swear that I have had the exact same symptoms. The out of the blue, minding my own business panic attacks are the worst. They can unsettle
Heather,
Just relax and breathe. You are ok. You should probably contact your doctor just to make sure you are ok. Tell him your symptoms and see what he says. See how you feel after the medication kicks in. Did something happen recently that you are not dealing with? Are you totally stressed out lately? Most likely, it sounds like an anxiety attack. See if your husband can take the kids so you can get some rest. Maybe take a warm bath and focus on you. Please keep me posted as to what the doctor says and how you are feeling. It has nothing to do with your past "drug usage" Somehow, I can't imagine you ever trying anything illegal. You are ok. Just keep reminding yourself. You are human, and you are going to have good and bad days. You are a mom of two who has her hands full. Hang in there and keep intouch. Love, JD
Thank you all,
I am feeling better. We went out to eat and i had the unreal feelings off and on but my other symptoms had pretty much gone away.
I then got a big ice cream and broke my diet :( but it was worth it. Then Jolie I took your advive and took a hot bath. That did make me feel better.
Dh and I just watched a movie, Ladder 49 with John Travolta it was
Hi heather- hope you had a good night of sleep. Sorry i was not able to post yesterday. I get that unreal feeling too- its like a fog in my head. I obsess about things and take them to the nth degree- doomsday. This leads to panic and intense anxiety. so you are not alone. The posters here had some great sugestions and you were wise in taking the advice.
You are lucky that you are religious and hopefully can find comfort there, as well as from your family.
Lastly, what is NORMAL anyway? 1 out of 10 people suffer from depression and like 4 million people have anxiety/panic isues.
Have a great day
Elaine
I've been thinking about you all weekend, and I am so glad to hear you are ok. I'm glad you are healthy, and you are taking care of yourself. Nothing like a hot bath. I always put some lavender oil in the bath. It helps me relax. Also, the peace and quiet is what really does the trick. I know what you went through must have been very scary, so I'm so happy everything is ok.
Love, Jolie
