are you ok now?

I'm so sorry I know how horrible they can be especially when your trying to work. I know that sometimes they just hit me out of the blue and for no apparent reason, I've tried sometimes to figure out what i was thinking and what might have been going on around me but i still can't figure it out. I don't know if you have anything like ativan or zanex but I wouldn't any problem with taking them.

This has happened to me too and it's scary as hell. I don't know what you've tried in the past, but get out of your immediate situation if you can, and take a walk, focusing on your breathing. I learned that when I do my breathing, when I'm exhaling, I say the word "relax" or "calm" in my head, with each exhale. This is just a quick fix and suggestion for the future.

Thank You all I am better now. i am back at work today but terrified that it will happen again. I hate when i feel like this. It completely brings me down and I can not concentrate.

It happens to me to.

Panic attacks at work are AWFUL!!! Occasionally I can sort of talk myself out of one, but if you have Xanax or Ativan, just try taking 1/2 under your tongue. Tastes terrible, but works super-fast. I also try to backtrack and try to find a "reason" that triggered it. Most of the time, I can't. Just know that you are not "crazy or flawed" in any way. There are lots and lots of wonderful people who have this disorder. Peace!

Your talking to 11 Years of panic expereince, therapist experience, www.anxietycoach.com and proven results.

The last thing all of us wanna do BUT THE BEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO FOR YOU PANIC ATTACKS is well 1 to definetely visit anxietycoach.com - but to RIDE THE WAVE OF PANIC!

WHAT I MEAN IS - to let the feeling happen!!! that feeling of fear, feeling of doom, that feeling of something right now is about to happen! is ur amygdila talking - the part of your brain that is programed to tell u smth wrong is happening, like a tiger is about to attack, when nothing no where is goign to hurt you - that is the most scariest part.

WHAT WE TEND TO DO is ALLT HE WRONG THINGS THAT SEND US INTO PANIC!

Ignoring it
trying to distract yourself
tensing ur muscles
running away from the problem - (saftey behaviors)
fighting the problem ( judging, ect.)

All of which are natural tendancies but THE WORST thing to do for ur panic attacks BECAUSE there is nothing there that is ging to hurt you

You have to accept the feeling, and let the panic waves happen. When ur feeling it, sit back, and let the insense feelings pass by - just accept them. The hardest part is to TRUST THIS! becasue if feels so much like smths gonna happen, but try it once and i ensure u will prove to yourself and ur brain, there is no danger. This is how u will get past it.

glad you are okay. I hate having these terrible attacks. I can get myself into one so easily by thinking Im going to go insane :(
hope you do well today hugs

peacelove is right,,,we have the same opinion,,,,my last anxiety attack was last thursday,,I remain calm,relaxed,breathing normally and put into my mind that i'm not going to die(courage is needed),,it lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes and after it i felt sleepy..
