New here too!

Hi all
Another new person, wondering if i am in fact having panic attacks or what else is it. I had my first one about 5 months ago. it coincided with me startingto date again after leaving a very long term relationship. When i was with my new man i was fine. when i was alone I started to worry about when i'd see him again. This then made me anxious and full of worries. No i get these attacks almost daily. But if I know i'm seeing himself that night I am ok. Why am i like this? I was never like this before. I used to be quite independant. i've spoken to him about them but didnt mention the link with him.
take tonight. i know he's out on a christmas nite and I will see him on sunday. but i'm sitting here crying, and feeling a need to be with people who i can talk to. I feel so lonley. i dont enjoy my own company anymore, and thats such a shame. my family live an hour away, otherwise i'd be there all the time.
I hope theres someone out there who knows what i'm going thru, in this odd way.

Was it really a panic attack? Some possible symptoms: difficulty breathing, stomachache, nausea, dizziness, sweating, chills, chest pain, feeling of having a heart attack. What you described is general anxiety, the thoughts coming suddenly.
It's an awful time of year to feel alone and depressed, isn't it?

Have you talked to your doctor about your symptoms? I hope you feel better soon!
