feelings after panic attack

[lonelysolitude]

does anybody experience being so drained like you just recovered from a really bad flu or sickness after a major panic attack.?i always felt this way after the big one and it just a bummer

Hi there,

Yes I used to get this feeling alot and sometimes it would take me days to recover from a really bad attack in the beginning. I have been suffering panic attacks/depresion and anxiety for nearly 5 years. I am on medication now which has helped, I only seem to get the bad panics when I have had to much alcohol and I tend to get them in the middle of the night ad they seem to last for hours. It can feel like I've been run over by a truck the next day, don't know whether that's part of the hangover or the panic attack!! I don't have as many now I'm on medication but still get some anxiety symptoms. things will get easier though.
Take care
Love Lisaxx

Oh yes - I feel exhausted and worn out. It takes me the next day to really get over it and recover.

It is very draining so we need to be kinder to ourselves the next day and appreciate that we are a bit zonked out!

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

yes after panic attacks the body is drained, i used to feel as if i had ran a marathon....however if you take 10mins to do something nice for yourself AFTER you will feel less drained.


take care
