Hi all, I am very new here, my name is Stacey and I am unsure, but think I had my first real panic attack and scared me half to death!! My husband is in the Navy Reserves and was just deployed to Kuwait. I have been doing ok with it all. Usually I shut down and feel nothing while he is gone. This time, well its a lot harder on me. Unsure why. Today he got to call me, first time hearing his voice since a 2 minute phone call on Saturday. I was fine while on the phone with him. When we said bye I started to cry. messaged a friend of mine who was online to say he called.. and I freaked out... started to cry hysterically, numbness in hands and face, feelings of TOTAL loss of control, feeling like I wanted to hurt someone BADLY. I guess I scared myself enough and somehow regained some control of myself and started to calm down. This was about an hour ago. I am still real shaky, and feel slight numbness but ok otherwise. I still feel very scared. Was this an anxiety attack?? should I talk with my Dr about this? I have handeled deployments so many times over the years, wonder why this one is any different. I figured if anyone knew what I should do... you guys would.

Thanks
