Hi everyone,
I just found this forum on Google and am slightly relieved to know that i'm not the only 22 year old girl who is suffering from these ridiculous panic attacks. About a year ago i started to get a sensation of fainting multiple times. About a week ago, I experienced the worst panic attack i have ever had, and i'm not the same. I had anxiety before but after that experience it brought it to a new level. I am constantly thinking about loosing loved ones, myself, and of my next panic attack. I cant escape these thoughts. I have numbness in my head, and feel a weird lump in my throat everyday on the right side. I dont know if this is from my panic attacks or if i have throat cancer (i'm a hypochondriac too) My body is full of weird sensations and i cant even go to the movies anymore. I feel as though i have aged thirty years in 2. I'm depressed, always irritated and feel as though my life is slipping through my fingers of all the things i could have/should have done. My husband and friends dont understand why i cant just "relax". (like i havent been trying to)I smoke a pack a day and yet i'm terrified and convinced i have cancer or will get it. Im so confused/lost/sad/everyday and I just need a mental vacation but i'm afraid to start anti's. It's awful... I would love some support or advice...thanks
