View Full Version : Scared of having fits
I've been scared recently of having fits or seizures, as sometimes I feel very jittery and panicky and I just feel like im going to collapse or fit or something. Does anyone have this? I could really do with some positive advice or comments as this is really starting to upset me. It doesnt help that my friend told me today that her sister had a fit the other day for no apparent reason - im really scared...
I have exactly the same thing and my husband looks at me like I am mad or something when I discuss it with him.The fear isn't there all the time it tends to come and go.I have read dr claire weeks book "help with your nerves" and there is a section in there about this fear and she says anxiety does not cause fits which made me feel a little better.I have also mentioned it to my doctor on one occasion and he said the same thing and the fact that you have to be pre-disposed to them whatever that meant.I still worry and fret about this so I know where you are coming from,see your gp if you needmore assurance.
you dont just have fits like that being panicky or the high steet would be full of people haveing fits day and night ,,,,you wont have a fit dont worry
wish you better
hi all,i just wanted to say that my brother has severe epilepsey and learning difficulties and when i had my first massive panic attack and didnt have a clue what was going on,i really freaked out and told my mum to phone an ambulance because i said i felt as if i was going to have a fit like my brother god i was so scared but that was when i was 18,now im 24,and what i know now is that when i first started having panic attacks i was convinced i was ill there was something wrong with me and couldnt understand why no one was taking any notice i thought i was going to die,but then i done some research on panic attacks and anxiety and excepted that there is absolutley nothing wrong with me phisically,its just all my emotions built up and i worry too much and negative thinking which im having cbt for and getting better,so honestly you will not have a fit from panicking
hope this helps

thanks for all the reassurance- Tanya thats exactly how I felt when I had my first panic attack and its how I feel still when im having panic attacks, I just feel really wierd and my head feels heavy and dull and disjointed from everything around me.
I know that my imagination makes some awful images, and I worry that noone will be around to save me if i did have a fit or something. There is no reason I should feel like this health wise as I have never had a fit and blood results etc show everything is fine...I jsut cant stop worrying...
Yes that is my worst fear suddenly having a fit and it does worry me at times!!!!!
