I'm ok. I Don't get Very Nervous about going out or anything, Unless its a Huge event or something. I think I just carry my Stress and Don't let it go, So i get a panic attack.

i used to get many panic attacks a day - they would wake me up in the middle of the night as well - probably about 8 -10 a day. it was a nightmare.

its now mainly GAD i have now, but occasionally the odd pa arises but usually when Im under quite a bit of stress.

Like dark I rarely have actual attacks now just a general feeling of unease, sometimes a full on attack but more often just a quickened heart beat etc.

I used to have them every single day which was terrible :(

Im like sophie - just general anxiety and some places make me feel really really panicky and anxious and breathless and head dizzy!!! Wenjoy

Hi Elle, When I first started having panic attacks the only time I wouldn't have them was at night, but later they came everytime I went out, and now I very seldom will have one.

I have them under control enough now that even if I do have one I'll just excuse myself from the situation until I feel better or leave.

But the anxiety and general feeling of uneasiness is always present. I question everything which dries me nutty. But hey .. the wonders of a good medication and great support groups. :)

Hi, It depends if I'm going through a particularly down patch I seem to get them more frequent and I tend to get them more when it is my time of the month! I tend to suffer from them more in the night than the daytime too.

Thats So Odd.. Most of you Guys are saying that you get them at night. I've never had One at night, Recently I have Been having trouble sleeping though, But thats Hasn't got anything to do with panic attacks.. (Maybe Stress) I remember when i first got panic attacks, I was Scared ****less! I Wouldn't go out at all, and when i did i'd be a nervous wreck. I'm so glad I'm over that point. I think i've learned how to control my mind from thinking ahead of the moment (You know, Like, "Oh god, what if i get one while i'm out?" And ect) and being afraid. I Some times Slip and start getting really sad and scared, Because it is always in my mind at some point, and I'm Always questioning myself and how i feel. ("Am i okay? Do i need to eat something or slow down? Am i under stress? do i need to go home?") I'm just in a stage in my life where i'm realizing that I'm not a little kid anymore and i need to be able to take care of myself and feel in control of saying how i feel and what i need and do what i need. And thats a big step for me. And Some times i need to cry and Get things out, But thats okay. Some times I get Nervous when i am going out to a event or something with alot of people, But i'm still learning.
