my first panic attack

[seh1980]

Hi Mary!

I'm glad you found this site! I'm sure it will help you feel better and not so alone. We all know exactly what you are going through so don't worry. I have been suffering from panic attacks for just under a year and am much better now than I was 6 months ago. I just wanted to tell you that things WILL get better - it just takes time.
In the meantime, good luck!!

Hi Mary- guess you'll get this when you're back. Glad you're stil doing well, and try not to worry about the sleep thing. After my panic attack, I didn't sleep properly (1-2 hours per night) for over three weeks. Then bang! Back (almost) to normal. I tried herbal nytol (sort of helped), but best is lavender oil, warm milky drinks and a bath (again lavender oil).

Take care,

Alex.

Hi Mary,

Sorry to hear you had a PA yesterday, it's horrible when that happens after you've been free for a while! And I always find I feel the acute anxiety again for a couple of days. Really great that you got through it ok. Keep in mind that it is only a blip on your upward recovery trend. I've had blips every now and then, but that's all they are.

Keep the faith,

Alex.
