BTW I also had arrhythmia and pulmonary hypertension at the time. 20 years later and I'm still here 
I'd tell you to relax but I've been there. Telling someone with fullblown anx to relax is kinda like telling someone on fire to chill out
Hang in there... it can get better and very likely will. |
I may have very underactive thyroid .__. my doc totally ignored this half year ago, good that other I've been to lately noticed this.. I did stupid thing, I read about thyroid before making tests again, and read that underactive can lead to death or coma... so maybe this makes me freaking out even more... 2 years ago I had meds for racing heart but never used it because when I had to quit group therapy, my heart calmed down itself.. actually somatic panic attacks like one that I had today disappeared year ago after my best friend cut every contact with me for totally no reason.. I don't know if it was such a big shock to my mind brain that it stopped somatics or sth, but now it came again for no big reason, I have stress all the time..
Good that you're alive

' yup, that's a problem and I don't even remeber how relax feels in state like this:c
it can get better.. maybe, and then it can get worse.. I don't want to go through this again and again....I don't have power for this anymore ;c
