My First Panic Attack
Somehow I just can't let that first panic attack go. I am still very afraid it will happen again.
It was such a long time ago. If it happened again I certainly would cope much better than the first time. That really traumitized me and I just can"t forget it.
Also I think it was the cause of my breaking down 7 years later.

how did you handle it the first time?
i didnt handle it well at all. i hid it from my friends. i didnt tell it to my doctor. it was awful and i just plowed ahead scared. i was practicing at the time and was embarrassed. i write this partly because
------------my mistakes may help someone to avoid those same things. like hiding.
Are you hiding it now?
no i am not hiding now. i will tell everything. i find that some of my friends are scared that they might have a panic attack. thank you all for responding. i do not want to hide anything. it is not worth it. thanks again.
hugs, and more hugs to apply whenever needed!
hello gooch, i understand hiding the panic attacks, I hid them too. I didn\'t know how anyone could help me. The only thing that helped me was antidepressants, valium and sympathy.
what causes these damn things.
i remember my first one too. i was in college, about to take a test, and went blank. i had just lost my parents and was going thru a divorce. it was hard. and i get scared about others coming on, too. (((((hugs)))))
