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. Symptoms include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, and sensations of choking or smothering. Panic attacks can be very sudden, appear to be unprovoked, and are often...
I had an all day, demon panic attack, that is still going on...xanax, trying to sleep it off, nothing helping. The vomiting and stomach issues, shaking, sweating, freezing...I am so tired of it. I have a great Psych and a therapist that I think is OK, but nothing seems to be helping..
.I have a lot on my plate"
Cousins I have not seen in 20 years are coming from Australia to visit, and I am at my heaviest weight. I cant walk much or even stand because of arthritis and joint issues due to weight.
My family is also planning a trip to NY in Aug to visit other family I have not seen in 30 years! - I cant imagine going, although I desperately want to!. I am so mortified by the way I look and between my social anxiety, panic attacks, etc. I dont think I can do it.
I am going to have gastric sleeve in Sept, and am looking forward to getting healthy and looking and feeling good. I wont be able to participate in the chowing down activities, but it is worth more to live life and be healthy.
The fact my family is planning this trip now when my anxiety and weight are at the highest- I am so sad. I feel I cant travel because of these attacks popping up. I will bring the whole trip down. Which is why the last two times my family went away they didnt mention it to me until the last minute :-( they didnt want me to go and ruin their trip.
The fourth of July is something I look forward to- in my town it is a HUGE deal. But despite all the invites, I was holed up in my house. I didnt want people who havent seen me in years to see me now.
I have been single for 2 years now, I would say due to my weight, so that is a depressing situation. It has been a long time since I had a ltr I am afraid of my weight and the panic attacks. I could have been out socializing this 4th weekend, but I cant because I am trapped. Panic, fear of socializing, weight issues...
. Friends want to go for drinks, I have to be the one to make up excuses. My good friend found a guy this weekend and now they are officially dating.
That could be me if I wasnt obese and trapped by panic. I cant drive when I am panicking too. Among a lot of other things on my plate, I am straight out.
I hope once I lose the weight, some insecurities will go, but I doubt the panic will go, maybe even get worse??- hopeless
