help plz anyone

I went to speak to my brother and my speech got slurred and it was as if an elastic band snapped in my head making the whole leftside of my face twitch....

I'm in full blown panic attack

Shaking
Cold feeling on scalp (left side)
Jelly legs
Facial twitching
Fuzziness
Feeling like I'm going to pass out or take a stroke....

Please someone help... What could this be....?

Hi Petesy
How are you feeling now?

[MRS STRESS ED]

Petesey try and calm yourself love this all sounds like anxiety to me ,I to have experienced similar and I would imagine lots of others ,dont overthink this I no its easy to say but honest I have had this too take care xx

[Petesy]

Very scared... Dizzy, cold, weird feeling in head... OMG I'm so frightened... My kids are here for the weekend and i'm in the room trembling while my mother and father are keeping an eye on them...

What could this be.. Plz, am I on my own with this... :panic::'(

[aprilmoon]

I honestly don't know hun,have you felt like this before?
It could just be anxiety causing it,hopefully it'll start to ease off soon.
What is it that's frightening you? :hugs:

[MRS STRESS ED]

Petesey you need to slow your breathing down tell yourself your going to be fine love ,because you are ,focus on your lovely children not on your symptoms it will pass xx

[Petesy]

Thanks for your replies, aprilmoon and Mrs stressed

I'm sitting at the edge of my mother's bed like a half shut knife, dizziness is bad..

My g.P has prescribed me diazepam 2mg..don't want them to make my head feel any weird than it is... But I can't cope with this.. Arrrrggghh!! Spasm in my hands and forearms, is freaking me out!!!

My family are calling me into the living room and I don't feel like letting my kids see me trembling with fear... I feel like I'm watching myself sounds daft I know like a dream oh shit this is not good.... Don't even know how i've managed to write this far my hands are cramping..

In laments terms "totally sitting my drawers"

Petesy.:WTF:

[MRS STRESS ED]

Stay strong focused and positive remember as awfull as it feels it cant hurt you ,keep telling yourself this ,you can come threw this xx

[aprilmoon]

Why don't you take some long deep breaths and go in to your family and get a big hug off your kids,the contact with them will make uyou feel less shut off,and that's what tiu need to feel.
These feelings will pass soon,
Try and distract your mind,
Try counting the patterns on the carpet or the wall,count something,get your mind distracted,
You can talk on here about some random thing if you want,just start thinking of other things,I know its hard.
What plans have you got for the weekend with your children?

[Petesy]

Taking them to the cinema to see the new transformers movie...and this comes along and I don't want it and won't let this stop me I can't make a promise I can't keep..

Petesy

[aprilmoon]

Sounds great,bet they'll love it
Costs a fortune though now doesn't it,best to take your own sweets and stuff like that,their prices are rip off.
This won't stop you Petesy,its just a blip OK?
You'll be feeling a lot better soon.
If you had to rate how you feel on a 1 to 10, what would you say you're on now?

[MRS STRESS ED]

Taking them to the cinema to see the new transformers movie...and this comes along and I don't want it and won't let this stop me I can't make a promise I can't keep..

[aprilmoon]

The moment that these sort of feelings feel at their worst,is the very moment that they start to lose their power Petesy.
Hope it helps to know that.:)

[Petesy]

Yh my 13 year old daughter just gave me a hug and says you'll b fine dad I felt like I was going to cry..

[Daisy Sue]

Aww bless her. Other people do understand, especially children. If you need to cry, don't hold it back.. sometimes it helps to let it all out.

[aprilmoon]

7s fine.
Your daughter sounds lovely.
Mine are all grown up now,but I still get lots of hugs! :D

How many Psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?

[MRS STRESS ED]

There is nothing better or more special than our kids and the love they give us ,my son is grown up but He always says my special mum and puts his arm round me when we watch telly kids are a good medicine xx:D
