Hey everyone!
Had to do a search on the web to see if i could find some 'coping statements' as i'm in the middle of a day long 'episode'. Hoping it ain't gonna last much longer!:yesyes: but sure we'll see.
Wonderful to have stumbled across this website, and meet fellow sufferers. I've been getting these panic attacks for about 7 years now, and it never gets any easier. The last one I had prior to the current episode, was maybe 2 years ago, so I've been overdue one. As I say, it doesn't get any easier - this time I am having the shakes, derealizations, pains, my vision is very weird (like everything is taking a while to get in focus, and if things move, I eyes take a time to follow them) and worst of all.... FEAR, the nightmarish fear of WHAT - IF! It's driving me crazy. Whilst reading the coping statements I found on the web, I felt grand. But then it all returns not long after.
I took a few brandys and port last night and that really settled me for the night - but can't really do that everynight now can I? :D
I've only ever went to a docutor once about this in the last 7 years, but there was such a lack of knowledge about it. I have since changed doctors, and booked an appointment for next week. In the meantime.... I'm riding this one out.
