Bad day - scared
| Tue, 10-03-2006 - 4:50pm |
I am having a bad day. Actually a couple bad days. I feel really scared and jittery, panic attack type feelings. I feel really distracted and stupid like my brain isn't functioning. Like I'm slow. Impending doom!! Why is it that no matter how many times I have panic attacks, it's always so scary? I can't seem to shake this, it's been a couple days now like I said, on and off.

Sorry to hear this Allie. Is it close to period time? Have you had added stress?
I know that I am scared with every attack, even though I have had them for 36 years. I try to put the bad days behind me & move forward. The feelings you describe still nip @ my heels. I can't make it through without my belly breathing & good sleep/exercise/diet. Hopefully you know some tricks that will help you through. Drop into chat tonight. Post anytime.
You will be fine. Anxiety/panic can't hurt you. Just keep thinking on the positive side. Sending PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan
hi allie
it sounds like your having a really tough time right now.
Hi Allie,
I know exactly how you are feeling and I too when I'm the most vulnerable or stressed these panic attacks take my mind somewhere else...it's paralysing. Everytime I tell myself that next time I will control it better I can't. The trick is to accept them and try to move on. I know it's hard to do but it passes. Doctor Phil said it clearly today on his show about anxiety and panic attacks: it's not your fear of whatever (planes, trains, ect) that does it to your mind it's the fear of losing control. A panic attack is the fear of losing control...it's not so stupid!!!
Take care

Hi Allie,
I know what you are going through all too well. I have my 1st panic attack about 1.5 years ago and I felt as you are describing for a few months. It took a lot to get me to the point where I accepted it and really believed that it would not hurt me.
Please take care and just do the best you can!!

Allie, Wellbutrin IS known to cause panic attacks.

Allie, since you already have xanax, definitely call your doctor & ask if you can take them when you need them for anxiety/panic attacks.
