Close Panic Attacks
I started having frequent panic attacks about a year ago when I was working at a job that made me very unhappy. I have also been struggling with the complicated relationship between me and my daughter's live-in father. I would imagine that stress goes back as far as I can remember, however I had never experienced panic attacks before this. They are quite severe and I have been to the hospital numerous times because of them. I always leave feeling a little more silly,
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Given to me by the ER, very calming effect. I am wary though because of its addictive qualities.
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- It works only if the anxiety is mild.
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- Very hard to do when you think you are dying.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I am not sure how much progress I have made. I am still having severe attacks.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- This is what I take for the most severe episodes, however it did not prove effective enough the last time I took it.
- Music Working / Worked
- Jason Mraz ~ Details in the Fabric
Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
