about a year ago i was diagnosed with glandular fever (anything to do with my panic i dont know), but i got so painfully tiered and i was working 60-80 hours a week in a sportsbar. My first attack was won day when i woke up to get ready for work as usual and my body was so tiered i felt like my arms and legs were going to fall off, i freaked out and never managed to go back to that job (i actually was living in Australia and within days flew back home to new zealand to be with my family) things were ok after a week and i was off on my next adventure starting university 9hours away from any family and friends.
this keeps happening were i randomly start having to control my breathing on a bus or even after phone conversations with friends.
i went and saw a doctor and she put me on some medication (20mg of fluoxetine)
the first two weeks of this was so terrorifying, my breathing and thought patterns were so off and negative i just felt and still feel like i can't stop them.
last night i woke up out of my sleep in the middle of the night and just started panic about going back to uni (as im on holidays at present)
my legs tingled and i was telliong myself not to worry it'll be ok listing things to do to make my move much less stressful, what to pack etc
and that gets me to here.... my family has never had any problems like this and i'm starting to think im going insane so i googled panic attacks and ended up here and with a little more light on what my problem is.
thanks for taking the time to read this any similar stories or techniques would be greatly appreciated
