ill start by saying i have a lovely hubby 3 kids and am almost 38 weeks pregnant.
today hubby i and kids went to asda to get some new school bits and bobs-felt fine.
this evening i had to nip to tesco just along the road to get few bits and some petrol my daughter whos 7 wanted to come with me.
anyway got to tesco got a small trolly and in we went. i wanted to go to the electrical dept which was right down other end of store got half way there (still with an empty trolly) and all of a sudden felt so so wierd its hard for me to explain. felt dizzy/spaced out like i wanted to run but couldnt like i couldnt balance properly just really odd. i let go of trolly grabbed daughters hand and said quick lets go and walked very fast to the exit which felt like i was walking on clouds or something :scared15: really frightened me.
got back in car and just really cried and told daughter i felt sick.
im so frightened now i feel real stupid and a failure:weep:
why why why is all i keep asking myself
please, does anyone else ever get like this?

I know how you feel hun, yesterday i burst into tears because I was so scared about taking my tablets the doctor prescribed. My Husband gave me a cuddle but I felt a bit silly tryin to explain how I was feeling.

Believe me you are not alone and if you ever need to talk please send me a message. I am sure by talking to people who also suffer then we can help each other feel better

I get like this such a lot too, you're not on your own. The toughest part is the feeling of failure I think. It has knocked me back so many times I've felt like giving up completely. Why can we remember every time we are unable to do something because of this panic beast but often struggle to recall the leaps of progress we have all made? Human nature I suppose.

I'm still recovering from my last two 'failures' and one of them was 5 weeks ago!! Still, in between the feelings of despair I keep reminding myself that I've climbed this mountain before and now I now more of the route. Each time I begin the climb the route becomes more familiar and I get a little further than the previous time. I want to reach the top (normality) in one journey, but my brain wants to go the scenic route and teach me a few things on the way! Each setback teaches me something more about myself (good or bad) and when I finally reach the top of recovery mountain I'll be stronger and more resiliant than I ever was! I certainly hope so anyway.

Don't beat yourself up, and remember you're not alone in all of this.

My panic attacks all started out this way. I would feel absolutely great, but the minute id walk into a shop, the place would start spinning. Tesco was a nightmare! I didnt even know what panic attacks were at that time so was really frightened as to what was going on. I just couldnt figure out why this would happen when i entered a store, especially as i loved shopping and really wanted to be there. The more it kept happening, the more it would frighten me, then the rest of the panic attack symptoms would follow slowly day by day. I begged my doctor for an inhaler as i thought i would stop breathing and was convinced the dizziness was a brain tumor. He then told me what it was panic attacks but i still dont know why they started. That was 17 years ago and even now when im in a store, i have to look around at things slowly or everything will start spinning. The minute i come out im great!:doh:
