Re: Panic attacks
I never used to have panic attacks,although I often felt very anxious about something,then about September last year I ha an chest / ear and eye infection, I had to put drops in my ear and eyes which made them blurry,I couldnt see I dreaded laying down or going to sleep ,then panicked at the start of my MRI scan so it had to be cancelled, I have been under my DRs and taken to Hospital a few times because I couldnt breath at night and have been told I have Asthma.I came out of Hospital a week ago after 5 days, I was put on a nebuliser several times there but they wont let me have a nebuliser at home, so I go to bed at night hoping I dont have any problems, I dont want to go back to Hospital again

Different people have different experiences of panic. One of my best friends has night terrors. Once we were on holiday and she woke up screaming. It sounds terrifying as when you wake you feel there is a malignant presence in the room. We had to sleep with one of the lights on after that. It's apparently quite common. The same friend has had panic attacks when in crowds. So I wonder how many here also suffer night terrors.

Re: Panic attacks
Glad you made the effort; at various times in my life I've suffered crippling panic attacks and have resorted to breathing exercises, mindfulness and other CBT techniques - all very useful.Sooner or later, something will replace the panic for you and you won't know what it is.

Re: Panic attacks
I'm sorry to hear how you are suffering panic attacks. I have suffered many years with panic attacks but I am so grateful that they seem to have subsided now. I still do get the odd one but I have learned how to manage them. The 2 worst panic attacks I ever had were one where i was out shopping with my niece and i had a trolley full of food, the panic came over me and the fear I felt was horrendous I just left my trolley in the middle of the supermarket and ran out, it was horrible. The other was when I had got out of my car to walk to a shop and I was walking on what I can only describe as sticky, HUGE sponges, the feeling was so scary and I'm so grateful to never had another attack like that again. I won't ever forget it though! Panic attacks are very real and can manifest themselves in a lot of different ways, all of them terribly frightening for the affected. My saviour was reading a book by Dr Claire Weekes, Self Help For Your Nerves. When I read that book I was reading about ME and it made me realise I wasn't going to die after all and it made me feel so much better just knowing that I wasn't alone.04-03-2018, 07:01 PM
