I'm been having panic attacks that last days, does this happen to anyone else. So fed up with feeling like this
Your not alone I have been having anxiety and panic attacks for about 2 months straight there hasn’t been a single day where I have been panic and anxiety free on the bright thoe is I have been able to cope with and restrain it so it won’t be as bad as before. I wonder if this helped you.
Yes I have and what happens is your brain tells your adrenaline to release and your heart will race and you feel like crap. If you ignore it it will pass thru your system in less than 10 minutes. But if in any way you are still anxious or becoming more scared by the sensation then it will be an infinite circle of panic. .. adrenaline release. ...panic.....adrenaline release. This can go on for hours or days. I've had it! You can learn to no t allow your panic to escalate. The best thing at this point when it had got you is to focus on something really difficult that requires your entire concentration like putting something together or go to the mall and ask the sales person a question where you have to interact. Music is often not strong enough. Talk radio maybe. But you have to not concentrate on your symptoms at all. If even your subconscious mind is still scared then t adrenaline will still keep releasing.
Also as a woman our hormones like fsh lh estrogen can cause heart racing from adrenaline. Just let it pass and try tracking your periods and ovulation to see if you notice a pattern. Many women have panic during those times.
Thank you for your reply. I feel so alone and scarced.just sick of feeling like this. Night time is hard because I can't go for a walk and my partner's son is staying with us so I feel a bit trapped. Your advice helped though so thank you
Thank you for your reply. Glad to hear I'm not alone. You must be a v strong person to get through every day. Just so sick and tired of feeling like this. Night time is the hardest for me.
That’s a great explanation Carly....I’ve been having panic attacks daily for over 6 years now... A very long time it’s hard to believe but sadly true...I’ve not mastered how to just let it pass. I have managed an odd time though and the relief that brings is incredible..I know it’s the answer to managing PA. It’s a habit that I can’t seem to break...I’m going to try focusing on what you’ve said and try to stop feeling scared x
yes, debilitating symptoms, day in and out. I've been having them when I drive and when i go out. im going to try CBT feb 1st. maybe you should try therapy also, see if it helps.
