It's happening again, this am I had such a bad panic attack I felt as if I could not breath ... Even after a clean bill of health I feel like I'm just going to die... I feel so scared and then it started.. Chest felt so tight like I couldn't breath and the crying and I started counting down from 100 and it just feels like that made it worst... I am so scared it's going to consume my life like it did a few weeks ago...

Im so sorry to hear that , I too have went through this passed weekend so anxious last night and right now its so bad im so nauseous trembling and feeling doom. Im writing to as many as I can bc it helps to know Im not alone in this :( although i would not wish this for ANYONE ! my husband doesnt understand so i try to talk to those that do . Stay strong you can fight this ! do you take any meds for the attacks ? Im currently on 0.25mg xanax 3x a day and dr has prescribed citalopram celexa but i have yet to start it bc ive never taken antidepressants but ii may start soon !

Hi iipinkiixo,
You should set down with your husband and explain clearly what you going trough, the support of the people around you it's crucial.
As well I find extrimily helpful be in this forum make me feel much better.
I'm on my 2nd week of Citalopram "20 mg" (the minimum suggested) no side effect so far, the first few days it was like a magic no anxiety nor panic attac.
Unfurtunaly this morning I'll go to my doc and probably raise the amount cause I'm not doing that good, but feel like could be in the right direction or at list I hope.
I wish for you to be well, be strong.

Hi MJ,

How are you feeling now? Better I hope. It sounds like that was a rough attack, and I am sorry to hear that you were feeling so scared.

I am keeping you in thought and prayer, and hope that you find some calm through using your coping skills...and that the rest of the day is peaceful.:)

S.C.

Like I'm always scared to catch an attack that I in fact do! I just leave it all in gods hands.. Thank you so much for your words.. This site is one of the few things that keep me feeling sane

Jessy,

I am sorry that you had a bad attack. I am glad that you are feeling better now. SC is right, we are all here because we have been there.

I am having an anxiety attack right now and I hate it but refuse it let it go full blown panic. Things will right themselves very soon hun.

Keep posting we are all here for you. Stay strong and use your skills.
