Severe Panic Attacks
I turned 33 today. Yay right? No. I have been suffering debilitating panic attacks. It's mostly health and medicine related anxiety. I do have quite a bit of stresses in my life. I have a blended family, health issues, trouble with my oldest daughter. My panic attacks cause me to not want to leave my house, but the thought of my bed and staying in the house makes it worse. I get all the weird symptoms. I constantly feel like I am dying. Every new ache or pain sends me into a frenzy. I vant breathe, I cry all the time, just recently it became so bad that I could not swallow food. When I get panic attacks I am literally crawling out of my skin. It is complete and utter doom and gloom. My arm becomes numb and I feel like I'm having a heart attack. I wake up in flight or fight mode, I always have a headache with the tension I have. I can't keep doing this. I feel so alone. My husband doesn't understand. I did see a psych and she put me on some meds, but with my medication anxiety I am so afraid to take anything new. I need help...or someone who understands me.
Hi, hope its ok that i share this with you. My attacks where bad until i started to pay attention to my food & drinks i was consuming. I was over doing it on coffee and now only allow myself 2 (14oz) cups a day. No other drinks or foods that contain caffeine. It helped a lot and my attacks are mostly gone. I use food to help me with my anxiety & panic moments. Just wanted to share that with you and i hope it helps. ☮️
