Hi everyone!
Just trying to keep my mind occupied on something other than panic...so I thought I'd post something because I am on the verge of falling into a full blown panic attack:( I'm so frustrated with this disorder and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I feel like its just eating away my sanity little by little. To make matters worse, I am home alone for the next 2 weeks with my five year old son. My hubby is military and is in the field. I am trying my best to hold it together, but am unravelling quickly. Having chest pain, throat tightness, feeling of doom and insomnia. I'm at the end of my tether with this ever present dark cloud called panic. I am only 31, I'm healthy, I'm a runner, eat well...why is this happening to me? I'm starting to fall into depression because of my PD...just feeling down in the dumps:( I cant imagine a lifetime of this ....

How about 14years and counting and Iam only 28years old&my mind is trying to roam into negative thinking,but you will be ok&take deep breaths in and let out slowly. Breathing all your troubles away&yes PAD sucks so bad&I too wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy,because it can be a living h*ll&if only I had a baby I would be so happy. Because my life wouldn't matter I would be to focus on my child,but ai will prbly never have kids would be selfish of me to bring a kid into this world&going through all Iam going through&I wouldn't wish on my enemy. Yet alone the bloodline to my child&have you tried CBT are Mindfullness there are alot of great tips here,and maybe even start to write you a diary. Are like me&write here don't hold anything in for you are not alone here at all,we all know what you are going throygh&Iam wishing you well on your healing.

Thanks Soul! I'm going to see a psychologist in a few weeks.I also wish you healing. 14 years is a long time! I am so glad that this forum is active and constructive. It definitely helps to hear from others going through this because people who have not experienced this do not understand how the mind triggers physical symptoms.

H Randalee,

I am so sorry to hear of your panic trouble...especially while your husband is away...that is tough!

I remember being home alone with the kids while my husband was on a business trip, and feeling similar to what you described.

Now, I actually enjoy our girl time (I have two daughters) when he has to travel...so know that you will get better with time and treatment.:)

I am glad to hear that you are set up to see someone! This will be of such benefit to you, I know it!

Until then, use our Resources here, post and chat...come to reach out and connect with others anytime that you need to.

We understand, care and are cheering you on...you will overcome this.:)

S.C.

Let me try and offer you some encouragement. I suffered from horrible anxiety attakcs. I eventually developed agoraphobia. My life was controlled and dominated by anxiety. I sought professional help and over time my doctor found the proper combination of medications that worked for me. (Zoloft and Atenolol). This is a treatable condition-- you can find relief. Don't give up hope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also helpful. You'll get through this.
