Panic attacks

Pad123
Pad123

Suffering bad today. Keep having panic attacks  They are coming in waves and causing great distress. I can't get out the house. I'm crippled to do even the simplest of tasks. Everything is over whelming me. Head is jumping about all over the place iv no concentration, can't focus. Can't eat although I'm always thinking about food. Can't sleep in my bed and have slept on the couch for months. Hate that life has got this. Feel like I can't breathe and I'm shaking quite a bit

I'm glad you felt safe to share about it here, Pad. It helps to feel less alone with ^it^. Keep venting. . .

I'm sorry about this. Have you seen a doctor recently, preferably a psychiatrist? I saw in your other posts that you drink alcohol quite a bit. While this form of "self medicating" (my psychiatrist calls it that) may help temporarily, it is not a healthy way for a long term solution. This *might* be why you are having shaking, no appetite, hard to sleep. I would encourage you to see your doctor and the two of you come up with a good and healthy solution for your anxiety and depression. There is help out there. Wishing you the best of luck.

So sorry you are suffering so much If you think about everything all the time it can come crashing down and will be overwhelming. Sit down with a sheet of paper and write down all your goals that you want to achieve in life. Put it up on the refrigerator and choose a goal and only think about that goal. not the bad things in life but the goal. The goal is your world, everything else does not matter. The goal matters. Have hopes and praying for you.

Hi Pad, I am so very sorry that things are so hard for you right now. Panic attacks can be so disabling. I don't know your situation, but if you are not in therapy or on meds, maybe you might consider seeing a mental health professional and seeing if there is anything that they can do to help you. triple hugs of support~
