Hello there DazedMommy . Nice to see you again so to speak lol .
Well just had a huge panic attack . BUT an its a big BUT . Reason being is my hubby . He suffers from majour depression and had been so bad for over a week . We had a huge row then bam , back came the panic attack .
Im so gutted :(
Hello Dazed Mommy , thankyou for the lovely reply :) . Means alot .
My history , ive sat back anf thought about this so hard to pin point when ! I guess ive always been an anxious person . Do everything at break neck speed ( you never seen anyone peel spuds so fast in your life lol) . I cant do things slowly whats-so-ever .
If i try to relax or go to bed then im planning tomorrows dinner , thinking what kid needs what and when ( i have 5 , although 2 are grown up i have 3 littlies).
My first panic attack happened May 2006 . I was sacked from a job where i couldnt phychially do it anyone because of my back problem . My youngest girl broke her arm falling out of bed .
Then my alcoholic Aunt and Uncle who i was trying to help and very close to died within 7 days of each other . They were only early fifties . It was awful police involved both times because it was at home .
Then bam a panic attack . Well i didnt know it was one at the time i thought it was a heart attack with the pain , tingles etc even called an ambulance !!!
I was so bad for months i went to stay with my parents so i didnt detress the kids seeing me like that . My doctors were a joke just wanted me on anti ds . Said to relax !!!!
My mums doctor fantastic , they set me up with a mentle health nurse who talked to me everyday on the phone . (espically when my baby bro tried to commit suicide, i was just starting to feel better then too )
I eventually got better but still lived in everyday fear that it would happen again . And so it did this Feb , so thats why im here .
I lost my 3yr old cousin, i had a miscarriage in December a week later my nan died . Thought i was coping but couldnt have been .
Hey im stopping this is kinder long sorry !!! I dont know how you use the message thingy on here will try nd figure it out .
Take care now and thanks again :)
Hello there and welcome . Just wanted you to know that you arnt alone i can certainly relate to alot of the things you wrote .
*Also uses hubby as safe person*
Been here a few weeks myself and am beginning to improve slighty so there is light to a very long tunnel :)
Hello there Jen , well ive been here just a few weeks now and have had so much help and advice already .
People are really friendly and helpful . Welcome :)
Well i havnt posted for a few days now but have been peeping in and reading .
Found i wasnt even ready to post ! Have been abit lously healthwise and put it down to anxiety . But couldnt take the pain much longer so saw my doctor yesterday .
Ekkkkkkkkkkkkk , he has sent away for appointment for me to go to hospital to have a camera down my throat (my biggest fear) arghhh . Did not hardly sleep last night . No idea how long i will have to wait for appointment so with abit of luck i wil be so tired by the time i get it i will sleep through it lol .
Secretly knew something more than axiety was going on because i havnt eaten for weeks now weight is dropping off me ( good job i was a large lady). Can only manage a banana and a sandwich a day at a push . Does explain the dizziness i suppose .
My fear is of gagging/choking . Ive never been that good at the dentist when they just use suction let alone something going down my throat .
Hopefully the procedure will explain why i keep getting all the pain and discomfort i've been feeling for along time now . Because the not knowing is horribe .
I am hoping once i get it sorted that i can cut back on all my anxiety , im finally managing my panic attacks thanks to this site . Still get them but am not so terriyed as i was . You explained so much its so helpful .
Hi Dina , im a smoker still but am seriously considering giving up because i have heard what you have said . That cigarettes are stimulantes .
Its like catch 22 at the mo , you get very anxious and grab a ciggie and vice versa .
Well done for quitting !!
