I am really struggling with a type of anxiety attack that struck me 2 months ago. I have had anxiety my whole life but when my anxiety attacks feel like this it feels as if I'd rather die. I don't remember if I've ever felt like this before I may have done and just forgotten about it until my anxiety became worse again but it feels as if I haven't felt this bad with anxiety before.
For 2 weeks although I've experienced anxiety on a daily basis I managed to avoid this feeling but yesterday it came back with a vengeance when I became anxious and I just can't deal with it.
Okay so the symptoms I am experiencing is what I describe as a tightening around my lower throat, a throat nausea feeling and a g* feeling (gaggy GAH do not like saying that word-Emetophobic!!) but yeah anyway.. it's paralysing I'd rather die than be sick so it's really difficult for me, does anyone else get this, anyways of dealing with it? Oh I am so afraid right now. I had an appointment with my support care worker (she comes to my home as I fear leaving) and the fear gah so intense, throat feelings, scared in case it makes me ill, sweating, rosey red cheeks still feel quite mind spaced out from it :-(
It's so awful, praying it won't make me ill this feeling and I have tried so much to stop this feeling but the more I concentrate on it, the worse it gets and even when I am not trying to stop it I am still somehow thinking about it GRRR anyone have any tips or know how I feel.. PLEASE REPLY I am so frightened, hopefully I'll be fine.
