View Full Version : am new 2
No More Panic,and wish this was the case . i have had such a tough journey over the last 2 years,iI first started having anxiety attacks when i was 15 years old but didnt know it,with lots of trips to GPs with them giving my that " its stress talk ' or heaps of tests that all came back,negative, i was left having no where else to turn was left to deal with it with out knowing what it was.In 2005 things came to a head and i ended up in the secure unit in a mental ward for 4 weeks.in that time my baby turned 1 and my daughter turned 5 and i wasn,t there to celebrate it with them.i also missed her first day at school.Since then i.ve had a one more trip 2 hospital and a long road 2 recovery,St the moment i have good days and bad i am on so many meds But the good news is the drs have found at long last the right drug and dosage,i have started swimming and slowly mixing back into society,Today i am happy to be alive and pleased to have found happiness .i lookforward to hearing from you all ... Take Care !! Michelle:)
Hi
I am new to this site too. I'm wide awake now having had a panic attack. I only started having these about 3 months ago and they just came out of the blue. They are however, linked to my past experiences of child birth. I am finding it really hard to cope.
I have stopped having caffine, alcohol (well, as much as possible) and other stimulants as I've heard these can make the effects much worse.
I guess trying to take your mind off it an focusing on a task can be helpful, but I feel like I'm going crazy at times. i'm afraid to go to my GP.
I gingerly sipping camomile tea, have used lavender oil and taken some herbal remedies in the vain hope I might be able to get a bit of sleep tonight. Does anyone else here experience panic attacks that come on very quick in the middle of sleep?
yes i do and theyre awfull. i find if i eat bread at night and coffee.tea any thing sugary i tend to have more of them.i have a drug called larazapan that i take it takes about 20mins 2 work but it helps settle me down.when im having an attack i find i hate being alone so wake my husband who holds my hand a rubs my back .I hope you fing something to help and find some one to guide u through those horrible earsly morning horrors.:bighug1: michelle
