panic attack tonight out of no where

hey everyone, I had a panick attack tonight around 8:00pm my time. I still have not taken the meds as the fear is still really strong and I cant get over it. I felt a pain in my head in the back then the next thing I know I was dizzy, then sweating, then I felt like I was going to pass out. I kept telling my husband to take me to the hospital, and he wouldnt, he kept saying it is the anxiety, take a xanax and if you still feel like this then we will go, I got really mad at him, but layed down. I have had every test under the sun done so I know nothing is wrong with me, however I still think if I take this med I will die....why why why why is my brain doing this?? I am soooooo very tired of feeling like this. Everything was going ok, then BAM out of the blue. I am seeing a new theripist on the 8th who specializes in anxiety, and she wants me to bring my meds with me so she can walk me through it. I really hope it works. I really just want to be admited to the hospital so I can take it and feel safe. PLEASE ANY WORDS OF ADVISE ANYTHING WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL RIGHT NOW.

(((Hugs))) Nicole,

I agree the new therapist sounds like what you need to help deal with fears about the meds. Is there anything soothing you can do now? Like a hot bath, music or scented candle etc? Sometimes little things can help relax you.

Hang on, we are pulling for you,

Thank you that comment about being sick and tired of being sick and tired really hit home, tonight I am going to take it, I have let the fear beat me up to no end and now im done, I start a new job on monday, hopefully that will help so I stay busy again. I need this meds to kick in at least a little bit, even thought I know it takes time I have heard it can help on some people quickly. Thank you for bing understanding, I really want to get better.

Talk to you in chat tonight to let you know how it goes.

Hi Nicole, you haven't come to chat, so I wanted to see how you were doing.
