I found this forum by typing in panic attack forum and I thought I would try it out...I can honestly sit here and say that in my 22 years on this earth I had NEVER had any sort of anxiety/depression/panic attacks until about 4 months ago and now I can't seem to move away from them. One night I went out drinking with my friends like every other time and I had no problems...until I woke up and my heart was pounding out of my chest...I was sweating and it felt like I was dying...I didn't know what to do...my stomach started to hurt and I could feel my body start to shake..never in my entire life had a I experienced such a scary thing. It wasn't like a hung over feeling, it was like a feeling that I couldn't control I had my boyfriend get me a cold towel and water and I tried fighting it off. Eventually, after 20 minutes or so it went away. Everything was fine for a month or so I thought.
I should note that I have this phobia of getting my blood drawn and blood pressure cuffs because I HATE the feeling of my circulation being tightened to the point of it making my heart pound like crazy. This past week it has been horrible! I went to a concert where I thought everything was ok...then I felt the bounding of the bass, which triggered the feeling of my heart pounding out of my chest and I thought I was going to die. I started freaking out and I didn't know what to do. Then another time I went to walmart, walked in, had no problems, walked down an isle and I started to feel real panicky for no reason. I had to leave the store because I was so scared. Then tonight is when I realized I have a problem. I went with my boyfriend to his friend's shop to work on his 4wheeler and as his friend was putting down the garage door, I started to freak out...like once the door was down I would not be able to escape. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?
If anyone has any tips that could help I would so appreciate it! I can't deal with this stuff! It makes me tweak out and I hate that feeling! Thank you for listening and I hope someone feels the same way I do
