hey everyone
let me warn you this post may sound a little loopy and all over the place :scared15: as i am in the middle of a panic attack. so i've come here to get it all out somewhere where others understand as it may help to calm my nerves...really needing some reasurance right now...dammit.
i've been on fluox coming up 11 weeks and all was fine until yesterday, i guess i've hit a 'blip' but instead of relising its just a blip, i have gone backwards and into full blown anxiety mode - im having a heart attack, theres something wrong with my brain and im going to pass out and die etc etc, most of you will know the drill...
i've started having the 'hot flush' feeling through my chest (and while i write this, i feel it in my brain (head), which i think is when the adrenaline relesases, which then flicks on the panic switch and away we go, it happend yesterday after work, and then again today on the way to work, while driving - not fun! i always feel like i need to pull over but i keep driving and it eventually goes away. but, now that im getting all these feelings again i cant stop thinking theres something wrong with me and im back at square one.
things were actually looking up, i was happy again, panic was not in my mind 24 hours a day like it used to be, i was only taking lorazapam when i really needed it (i was starting to wein off them, but now im back on them to try and keep me calm). today though, my lorazapam dont feel like its working - so of course this starts me on thinking theres really something serious going on blah blah blah, and that triggers another attack.
i hate going backwards, i hate the feelings of a panic attack, i hate feeling like this and i wish i could handle this. its so frustrating...
maybe i should post this in the 'health anxiety' section as thats pretty much my problem...but since i am panicing and have been panicing i though i would vent here.
any helpful advise/reasurance etc would be apreciated sooo much :)
