Re: Permanent panic attack?
When I first had any symptoms of panic or anxiety I felt like this. To give it a name, I was diagnosed with 'Generalised Anxiety Disorder'. Which is when you are not worried about anything in particular but your anxiety is high. I was prescribed Sertraline and once I got past the start up effects, I lived a 'normal' life, without anxiety, until it stopped working (after about 10 years). Obviously, diazepam can help in the short term, but not the long term. Other than medication, deep breathing and relaxation (especially mindfulness) are very helpful. My psych believes that with breathing and mindfulness (for at least one hour a day) can treat anxiety. If you don't want to go with medication, this may help. Tracy
