I have had a really bad week for panic and had my first panic attack that woke me up out of my sleep. Ihave had to take more xanax to even feel like I can make it for another hour. Anyway after being on this site for about a month now, reading everyone's experiences has helped tremendously. When I feel like I just don't know what to do with myself and sure I am going to die, then swinging from really wanting to die, the support from all here has been a life-saver. I really mean it. So with that said I was hoping to get some of your physical symptoms of what happens to anyone when they have their panic attack. For instance, today I can't stop this tingling down my right leg and an itchy tingle feeling on my head. I also have body twitching along with the horrible sensation of worry. Not about anything specific just the raw emotion of worry. These are the times I am ready to quit my job and run away. Of course I can't I have a 9 and 10 year old and am a single mom. These feelings get so so strong sometimes I am positive I need to be put away. Can anyone share what they go through during their panic attacks? Strangely it's comforting to share the anguish.
Thank you in advance,
Jojuli
