I have been suffering from panic disorder for about 2 months now.
Symptoms I get are as follows and in order......
1. Tight Chest / throat feels like it's closed
2. Tingling sensation in hands and feet and cheeks
3. Dizziness
4. Sweating palms
5. Dry mouth and numb Tongue
6. Weak and shaking.
These symptoms happen more frequently and I hate them as I am sure you all do to with your experiences. The worse thing is the fight or flight idea. Every time it happens I feel like I want to just run away. I have tried to fight it a couple of times only to have another one!!!!
I have been feeling more comfortable with my gf being here with me, but when she goes to work I start thinking about panicking again. I also have to say I feel more comfortable being at home as I think being out in public makes things worse.
I noticed this today. We went shopping and had a panic attack inside NEXT shopping store. However since I have been home I have managed to calm down a lot.
I just hate the feeling of these panic attacks, hate thinking of my next one, and feel terrible for putting my gf through this. I must say though, even though it may sound wrong that I feel a little more reassured that other people are experiencing the same as me, and it is not just me feeling this way.
Here we can battle through this terrible experience together and get back to our normal lives and kick this panic devil out of our thoughts.
