Good luck. Hope all goes well

Honey, you aren't emotionless. You are full of emotions that can only express themselves through your body in the form of these attacks because they aren't being expressed otherwise.

Give yourself permission to feel what is present and to release those feelings. It will help release the energy you are holding in your body.

I am sending so much light to your appointment with the psychologist. With love

I know what you mean. I had an anxiety attack a few weeks ago while driving home from work one night. It was a scary feeling like I couldn't keep the car straight on the road and the longer I sat at one particular red light awaiting for it to turn green, the more scared I got wondering if I could keep the car straight when I got ready to make the turn at the intersection. I'm wondering if some of that was also from these sinuses being built up so bad in my head that I didn't feel coordinated.

I had a few attacks a few years ago right after my mother passed and my doctor (just my regular doctor) gave me a prescription for some Xanax (which I was scared to take afraid I'd become addicted to them). The few that I did take, just made me feel a little sleepy. I think you've got the right idea about going to a pyschologist though. That would probably be your best bet. I just felt a little uneasy but your earlier posts in this thread seem very panic-cy.

my husband has panic attacks every night when he leaves for work. his job stresses him so much, and he's under so much pressure, that he has trouble dealing with it. we are looking for a new job, but nothing yet....in the meantime he's starting college in jan. working towards what he really wants. but it's hard for me as his wife to see him suffer like that.

I had to go to the emergency room this summer because of two sudden deaths. The doctor told me it was anxiety, and prescribed some anxiety pills. To be frank, I didn't take them. So far, my daughter and my family has been my support, and I find things to do to occupy my time, instead of thinking about death. Also, my brother-in-law's mother and sister passed this summer as well within the same week.

I went to the emergency room last summer because of anxiety too

We'll be fine

From someone who has experience this, you have to face your fear of death and accept that this is a natural part of life and its a passage we all have to take. You can not stop death, you will die and you won't really know it when you die. What comfort me was my relationship with God and that He will be there and is the only one who knows when I bow out of this world and pass to the life after. So... my advice is when you have a panic attack, close your eyes and think about a moment or a song anything that brought you joy in your life, if you think about the panic attack it will become worse so even if its terrifying start singing a song or something to help you. Imagine something, and then when the thought of death comes up, you have to realize that death comes when you don't expect it and its only your thoughts that are convincing you you're going to die. tell yourself, I'm not going to die even if your heart is screaming you're gonna die!!! Due to panic disorder, I have a heart arrythmia now but if I knew then what I know now, thats what I would be saying to myself. And of course, seek some help with it and journal, that always helps.

God has really help me out these few days. I feel my faith growing stronger. My perception about god and faith are changing. I use to not believe, There is something greater.

I can so relate to you.

I've had so many friends pass in these past 6-7 years. I started getting anxiety attacks in 2000. My advice to you is to just breathe and KNOW that its just an anxiety attack. Go through what you have to go through but try to keep that in the back of your mind. Nothing is happening and nothing is going to happen while you're having them. Just breathe. We tend to clentch up and not breathe when were anxious.

That, and seek medical help if they get worse. I have a co-worker that takes anxiety meds and she swears by them.

Good luck. You'll be fine.

how many days ago was it that you felt this way?

i'll ask you again next month.

the thing about inpending doom is

you never see it commin.

Get to a psychiatrist pronto! I was dealing with issues behind losing vision in my right eye, and fell completely to pieces. I couldn't drive, east, sleep, read. I was a mess. After seeing a psychiatrist and talking and him prescibing some antidepressants, I was back to normal within a week.

My doctor just prescribed me Xanax today

So this guy who dated two of my friends passed away. I didn't know him very well but for some reason his death is triggering extreme panic attacks and axienty for the past 2 days. I'm scared and i keep thinking about death..Please.. Im scared and i feel emotionless.

I couldnt sleep last night.....

[Edited 12/27/11 13:23pm]

the death triggered PTSD/ get help or educate yourself. if you get help it will not last as long but you may have this for up to 6 weeks. just like our military you just faced death. best wishes and if you need to talk let me know i will give you my phone number. although it seems silly just repeat-this 2 shall pass.

Behavioral Modification works wonders for Panic attacks.

even tho u did not know him that well ~ u still knew him

and his death must have upset u, more than u realised

i wish u a speedy recovery

and i am sorry 4 your loss
