I'm starting to feel alil better. I went to the gym and the panic attack came again when I got off the treadmill!!...I was gonna run straight to the office to tell them, but I tried my hardest to ride it out and it barely worked.
I told my mom about it and she says it's "probably just my imagination"...Gosh, right now I hate her! My dad feels the same way...they both think this is nothing!...No wonder I feel isolated. In my own home, my parents don't care!...I wish I left already!!

Oh sweetie, I am SO sorry!!!! Why do you get panic attacks when getting off the treadmill? When I used to get mine, it would start with my heart racing... could this be what\'s triggering yours, excellerated heart rate from exercising? My heart would start racing, then I would feel like I couldn\'t catch my breath and it was all downhill from there. For the longest time we thought I had asthma, then I had an attack that lasted for 12+hours. I went to the dr, he said it wasn\'t asthma, it was a panic attack. when I told my family, they made me feel a) like an idiot, b)like a lunatic, c)like I was trying to get attention... the list goes on. I\'ve never been so completely humiliated in my entire life, so I COMPLETELY understand what and where you are. Please know that you are not \"faking\" it or making it up! This is very real, and very hard to deal with. I was finally able to isolate how mine started, and therefore able to control how I reacted to the stimuli...
Sending you tons of love, which sounds like it\'s much needed right now! hang in there babe!!!!
Hugs! cAndy
wow,12+ hours is a long time! I actually get my attacks usually while I\'m either driving (my hands get soooo sweaty I have to constantly wipe my hands on my pants)or while in the middle of lecture class!!! Plus, they last between 10 to 30 mins. and come and go throughout the day!
Yes, ur right!...My family made me feel like a,b,and c!!...I just wanted to cry! The only people that truely care are you, others on this site, and some of my new friends from my school (along with a few of my old friends that seem to \"come back\" into my life...
Thank u so much for the luv... :) :)Xtine
