The not being able to breathe can be very frightening. You have gotten some of the best advice ever from the moderators of this site. I myself have had the issue of "not breathing" off and on for a...
Happiest of birthdays Hibbee - glad you are still helping to heal, something to be very proud of! :D...
Thrilled for your success Huskybee! Wish you all the best on your journey. Anxiety can be debilitating, making your efforts all the more impressive. Hugs! Reepin...
Sorry I missed YOUR BIRTHDAY Hibbee! Happy Happy, Joy, Joy! You made it another year and that is something to cheer about. For he's a Jolly Good Fellow! Debby :-)...
Hi Hibee! Being from the Cleveland area I was particularly interested in Kevin Love's panic attack confession and read his article with much anticipation. I am so pleased that he would tell the world...
Old timer here...Good morning everyone - and I really mean that - HAVE A GOOD MORNING! I have been having something I call "head rush" while in bed. Scenario: Wake up from a dream and then feeling a...
So sorry for your loss! I, like you, spoke with my dad a couple times a day - and now 21 years later, I still go to the phone to call him! It takes time to grieve - some of us a lot longer than...
Hi Deb! Lost touch - this is Deb #2 (in so many ways ) I am so happy to hear that your son is doing well...this is the best we can hope for as parents, so you are and always have been amazing. I...
Thank you so much! I will definitely try it. My niece teaches yoga in many forms and has been trying to get me to join in. My 66 year old body doesn't quite have the flexibility it used to have, but...
Funny thing for me is that if I get sick I start calling everyone to see if they have had this recently - then I just relax and let it run it's course - the anxiety never bothers me UNTIL it's all...
You deserve to have a wonderful, relaxing vaca! HAVE FUN :-) Reepin...
Kyrajay, Bless your heart - I am not young but have been dealing with night time panics for years...yes, the gasping for air too. I did take meds for a while but have been off for about 5 years now...
Hi Victoria Finally beat the "breathing thing". It took me quite a while, and if you look in this chat room you'll see that you aren't the only one dealing with it. Mine began in the middle of the...
Wake up from a nap feeling groggy and drugged! I agree, don't take them - but sometimes it just seems like the thing to do....
Walking was a good thing. I call your changing panic attacks "morphing". I won't tell you how many times my anxiety has morphed, but it seems like whenever I get a handle on one symptom it changes...
If it weren't for my husband telling me "You are FINE" "You are healthy and there is nothing wrong with you" I know that I would also lose it because, as you say, every time feels like the first...
Hi Deb - just something to get your mind off your anxiety issues (LOL)!...
So great to hear that someone WON'T give up! Keep on truckin' friend....
Nothing like humiliation to start your day off (LOL) I'm still smiling and proud that I'm not stuck in the window! Good days!...
OK everyone - I haven't been on for a while, sometimes feel like I am jinxing myself when I say that things are going pretty good BUT today I have to give you all a little smile. I am retiring from...
Dear JP - heart palps can be totally unnerving - I've had a rough weekend with them. I've learned to not let them put me into a panic - mostly because I look at how long I've been living years with...
I have had the flip-flops for a loooooong time. Within the past few months I started taking magnesium supplements and have noticed a dramatic decrease in the pvc's but when stress hits, so do they. I...
Hi BH - First of all, this is a marvelous website and there are many great moderators who have sensible answers and suggestions. Secondly, if there is nothing physically causing your dizziness, then...
It's been a little bit of a rough week - but I'm holding my own! I love that you "check-in" Hibee - gives us hope and encouragement. Tomorrow is National Donut Day, started by the Salvation Army...
Love to you S.C. - we are so lucky to have you on here! Welcome also to AngeLisa...if she can do half the job that you do, she will be GREAT! Thank you & blessings! SC - I will do a search as well -...
I am so happy to have the HealingWell family - funny how whenever I feel like sharing a joy or ill feelings I turn to you for support and care. I have a lovely husband, but don't always like to...
Thanks guys (gals), already feeling better :-) Where would we be without each other?!...
You guys get the, what I call, the inside jitters? Usually hits me mid-morning - and yes, I'm eating little things throughout the morning like yogurt, grapes & hard-boiled eggs, so I don't think it's...
Have a great time HT!...
SC: I love that quote - no matter how many times you print it, it's still great to read it. It makes so much sense and when our brain finally gets the message, we will believe it! Thank you! To...
Thanks to ALL OF YOU! And Cindy - I didn't get the "real" grandchildren until I was 61 so you still have time :-) I will cuddle, kiss and hug the new one for all of you! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to...
Thanks Jake's mom and Congratulations to you also! I'm happy that your niece is doing well - that pre-eclampsia can be dangerous. I guess we both have reasons to be happy today (and every other day...
:turn: :yeah: :tongue: Just want to share with my HealingWell family that I became a grandma for the 3rd time on Wednesday. Our youngest daughter had a baby boy, 3 weeks early! Everything is fine,...
Thanks everyone! You've been a Godsend for so many of us - your friendship is treasured....
Thanks for the support SC - you're great!...
Good morning to everyone in the family! I've not checked in for awhile, but love reading HT's daily check-in (thanks Hibee). I've been feeling pretty good - not perfect, but pretty darn good. I seem...
Hi Hibee, Good day to you to! I've been doing pretty good - and staying off of the HW so I don't jinx myself :-) A little shaky today - and gave in to the Klonopin - seems like about once a week -...
Thanks Gigi! I am going to look into the HCI - very helpful information. Happy days to you!...
God NO Deb - you are Not old - only as old as you think you are. I am 11 years your senior but I don't let that slow me down. Trigger finger is when your fingers lock up sort of like you are pulling...
I am staying very positive, thanks to all of you it is much easier than it used to be. My latest problem, however, has been GERD or Acid Reflux. I don't like taking Nexium (I work in a Nursing...
Hi Deb, You KNOW that the more you dwell on it the more it will hurt and in turn cause anxiety to rear it's ugly head. It's like when the doctor told me that I had some arthritis in my neck...I told...
Scaredy Cat always has good advice. I too, have those very issues, but have learned that eventually it will go away. Take care!...
BTurc - please don't think that the anxiety will never go away. We all deal with this on a daily basis, but believe me, there are times when normality works it way back into your life. There is...
Out of all of the symptoms of stress and anxiety the pvcs make me the nuttiest too. I have been on a good streak, but the one thing that doesn't like to leave is that awful flipping and flopping. BUT...
So sorry to hear about your sister Hazel - just know that you have a "family" here to support you and send prayers for your sister and the family. Hugs....
Me too CSA08! I know that I've had some things upset me today at work - don't know if that has made a difference or not, but now that I'm back from my late lunch (which was spicy) I'm having palps...
HT - how is everyone? Hope today is a good day for you and your family. Hugs!...
Checking in - Good morning Hibee! It is a great day to be alive and I will hold onto that thought as long as possible. There are many things to be grateful for - you, for one. Enjoy your day!...
Shingles can be HELL. Sorry Hibee! Hope your medications help some, and you will be back to your old self soon. Thanks for keeping us in the loop - I really like reading your daily thread :-) Take...
Hey Deborah, I already thought we WERE best friends! (LOL) I want some of what she is having! (When Harry met Sally) I have Klonopin to take as needed - and like you (and many of us) was afraid of...
