You probably don't need the hospital. Sometimes my anxiety is a lot worse just before and during the first couple days of my period. I am sorry you are feeling bad. Perhaps some chamomile or sleepytime tea might help.

I am not familiar with them, but do you have any "breathing exercises" that you can do?

Maybe you need to check your doctor to see if painkillers and ativan can be mixed. Just so you know for sure if this happens again.

Hope you feel better soon.

YOU DNT NEED TO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG ITS JUST ANXIETY AN PANIC I GO THREW THE SAME THANG AN THEY GOING TO TELL U THAT AT THE HOSPITAL JUST LIKE THEY TOLD ME. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT U R GOING THREW U R NOT ALONE I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I FOUND THIS SITE BUT IF U NEED TO TALK JUST KNOW THAT IAM HERE THANKS

I am very happy though janell that you do live with your fiance. I am on my own with no family or friend closeby and live can be very daunting to say the least. I have always suffereed from panic attacks but really bad now since I am now disabled with osteo-arthritis and double knee surgery. I find for me my anxiety is particularly triggered by ill-tempered starky people. I just can't handle them anymore and will start to shake and want to disappear. check things out with your doctor and share all the anxiety you are going through. as for me I guess I just try and push myself along and get through life as best I can. never easy that is for sure. many prayers and hugs going out to you my dear. hugs your friend caroliine..xoxoxo.. cya..

panic attacks are very scary, yes, but we are not going to die from them as a doctor once told me. I will rock back and forth, shake, pace the floor.. you name it, I've got it. eventually it passes. I am going from being a full-time working person to one who is now disabled because of the emotional issues coupled with severe osteo-arthritis in both knees. what a life.. I tell you. take care. hugs your friend caroline.xoxo.. cya.
