Desperate for help/advice :(

[HM2012]

Currently sat in the toilets at work dazed & confused as i've just had another panic attack at my desk :'( I don't think taking my meds (20mg of prozac) in the morning is helping because it's just making me feel drowsy/depersonalization! Perhaps taking my tablets before bed would be better? Advice/help now please :'( terrified to go back out in front of everyone! Xx

Nothing bad is going to happen, there is nothing physically wrong with your body, keep telling yourself that. You are suffering from the evils of adrenaline that is all. You can hold that adrenaline all day if needs be, it can come in waves again and again, but it is just a hormone which your own body is creating and it CANNOT harm you.

The symptoms will come and go but everyone's day will just carry on. The sun will come up tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that.... your feelings will come and go, you will have good days and bad days, but each new day WILL come and you just have to go with it and get through it.

If you are having panic attacks I would question whether your meds are having the desired effect. If I have a headache and I took painkillers which did nothing I think I would stop trying them. You need to get some form of therapy going as that is the best treatment for anxiety.

depersonalization will not harm you, you need to try and float through it (I know that is easier said than done) but the stress you are putting yourself through trying to hide your panic will only increase your body thinking something is dreadfully wrong.

Lying in bed feeling awful! Had to work 9 hours yesterday, today was my only day off.. It's my 'time of the month' i've had not a lot of sleep in the past few days, just taken my 20mg of prozac about half an hour ago & I feel as if i'm not really here/drunk.. I'm panicing thinking i'm either about to go insane or have a heart attack! HELP :'(

How are you feeling now? Those feelings you described above are really really common anxiety feelings. I've had them so many times I can't count them. I watch something light hearted on telly to help me calm down - could you try that?

Also, have you tried breathing techniques to hlep you calm down? Put your hand on your stomach and breathe in making sure your stomach rises with your hand. Try it and see if it makes you feel better. It's okay if it doesn't, but you might as well give it a go.

I still feel terrible :( Just went downstairs to my mum who just laughed at me & told me to go to sleep because it's all in my head! I just need support :'(
