Am I Crazy?
So sometimes when I have panic attacks I am 100% convinced my legs are going to fall off, it's really scary in the moment then thinking about it I feel completely insane. Does anyone else have this symptom?
Yes, I have this problem. It happened when I had a breathing fit then proceeded to have a panic attack, don't worry you're not going insane hunny, my doctor says its just the feeling off panic that makes you feel really sick so your legs go all heavy or wobbly, nothing to worry about sweetie 💕
This happens to me all the time... It's super scary but it's normal. Just remember to find a place to sit down and take slow gentle breaths to relax yourself. Having a stress ball too helps with panic attacks. Just find one squeeze it as tight as you can and count to ten then let go and keep repeating. ❤️
@xBrightnessindarknessx is completely correct, just elevate your legs so they are level with your chest and breathe deeply, it calms the mind and will allow blood to circulate to your legs quicker. As a first aid qualified cadet corporal you should trust me hun 💕
In my experience this is completely normal and it is quite often with panic attacks that you feel something catasphoric is going to happen, even though in reality you are aware it seems silly. I am wondering whether you read out self help guide on panic attacks -- it may help you understand this a little more. http://www.7cups.com/panic-attacks-help-online/
During panic attack, you literally don't know where you are, who you are and who are the people who are with you. I mean, with me, it's like that.
You're not crazy, and the symptom of having panic attacks is actually that person thinks that she's gone crazy!
So, you're not. Are you on any medication ?
no, i usually just take rescue remedy, it takes the edge off a bit but it's not a cure
It's completely normal to feel this way. A common effect of panic attack is weak muscles/the feeling that body parts will fall off.
