i just had my first anxiety attack, ive had anxious moments but this was a full-out attack. its stupid how it happened, but i was having a lot of problems with this laptop and got it fixed for 60 bucks after leaving it with them for a while and having to go back twice. anyways, i just got it back and its giving me problems AGAIN and this got me really pissed off. so after the anger i became extremely overwhelemd and anxious about having to call again and dealing with the problems. i realized i was breathing very heavily and fast bc i had shortness of breath. this got me freaked out and even more anxious, i felt so flustered...like i was enclosed by everything..... anyways, i went in my room and tried to calm down but couldnt...it was really scary. after calling my friend who has anxiety problems, i calmed down and now im alright but that was scary.....ive never been that over whelmed before
LOL I remember a few months ago when I was stressing about panic attacks and you said 'oh come on they arent that bad!' They really are AWFULL arent they?? Im sorry you had to have one sweety, I wouldnt wish one on anyone but my worst enemy. The best thing to do I reckon is take some time out, and relax. If they keep occuring, you might need to go see a health expert, but hopefully it was just a one -off. *hugs*
Stupid reason to freak huh? Heh... its funny how the mind works. You can handle hardcore shit like death and taxes but your compy breaks and BAM your losing it
oh gloria i said that??? sorry.... well i had no idea what i was talking about....now i know, they are bad, REALLY bad what i really hated was not knowing what to do to calm down....things i would usually do, like deep breathing, i couldnt since i couldnt really breath
Its OK babe, no one can POSSIBLY know how awfull they are unless they have actually had one. If you want someone to talk to, Trish and Maggie Sugar helped me out a LOT, its good to get lots of info so ya know how to help yourself out should you have another one.
Man i know what you are talking about. I suffer from social anxiety disorder. I know alot about panic attacks. I was just diagnosed with this problem a month ago. I lived my whole life in fear. Never had a romantic relationship. And very rarely leave my apartment. I figured i could overcome by sheer will power. Tried God and nothing worked. Was pretty close to suicide. So i finally went to a doctor, which is hard to do. Explaining this crap without sounding like a nut case. He gave me meds, they are suppose to open sensors in the brain. And now i'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And look forward to the next day.
