A Symptom of Panic?


18 years ago 0 1 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
My dad's girlfriend( now ex) Called me a liar and a muitnipulater. On saturday Because she thought I said I didn't know how to clean up after me dog. She also said no one would want me or have anything to do with me. And it was the seventh anniverary of me mom's death. Which has caused me to have panic attacks for five days now. I feel sick to my tummy and you know how one fear adds to more. My dad saids it's going to be ok and tha my fears are lying to me. And I keep telling myself that but it still hasn't gone away. What do I do? I'm scared.

Jane, Thanks for sharing. Please take the anxiety test and see how it can help. This may help you better assess the situation and help challenge those thoughts. By starting a journal you maybe able to pinpoint why this happening in the shower and what is happening before and after. You can also share this with your doctor for assessment.

For a couple of years now, I have experienced a strange sensation. Lasting for only thirty seconds or so, and happening for some reason usually while I was in the shower, I would feel as though I had been 'split in two', or kind of like I'd 'sunk into myself'. Can't explain it exactly, but it would almost be like a spell where I would question who I was, and feel as if I was observing myself, just doing actions mechanically. Almost like a meditative state, or something. For a while, I was good at shaking it off, but now it keeps coming on more frequently and it is harder to shake. Is this depersonalization? A limited-symptom attack? Am I losing my self and my mind? Anyone else feel this way?
