Panic Attacks Support Group
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes.

when i have panic attacks when im around people they never seem to know how to act. often it happends at night so my boyfriend just goes ughhh and goes back to bed...my mom gives me pills..
i can kinda understand how they must be frustrated but it bugs me that they cant see how it must be for me.
i get upset when people wake me up when i am sleeping to but this is different its scary having a panic attack, waking up for no reason , shaking,nauses. i want to go back to sleep just as much as they do. id rather have a panic attack alone then have one with a sleeping person around..feel more alone and then i just wish i was sleeping and the hole thing just sucks.
im trying to be patient with them and i know its knew for him to be with someone who has panic attacks as much as i do, but at what point do i wake him up and say I NEED YOU TO STAY AWAKE WITH ME, when we first started dating he did it...now he sees how much it happends and how annoying it really is. it ruins nights for both people.
i am so ashamed to even ask him to wake up with me, its so embarrasing to me. even if i have to ask my mom to wake up. its never easy. im just tired of people going ugh and going back to sleep.

Thankfully I have a husband that I have educated about panic attacks. I have told him what I need when I have an attack...sometimes it is to be left alone and sometimes it is that I need him to reassure me that everything is going to be okay. If it gets really bad, I can wake him up. Otherwise, I will find other activities to keep my focus when the attacks occur. Good luck to you.
