Today I went to a job interview. Yesterday I was totally fine and not nervous a bit. But then I couldn't sleep last night..I kept waking up every half hour. And then when I finally woke up and started getting ready for my interview I just started freaking out! I got sick, my stomach was killing me, i had this weird sever pain in my upper abdomen area and my back. It felt like a rubber band of acid was squeezing and burning me so much I couldn't breathe. I've had anxiety/panic attacks before but this one was really painful and came from no where!
  I also have OCD so it took me like 3 hours to get ready meanwhile I'm hurting and sick trying to get through stupid rituals. I'm sick of being like this I wish it would just magically go away. I guess I just felt like complaining and this seemed like the place to do it lol...

 drpepper Some people get pain so bad that they think they are having a heart attack. Panic/Anxiety attacks can often cause weird pains that can be confusing and scary.. I suppose if you're still hurting, and not panic-y at all anymore I would see your doctor. But if the pain went away after your nerves had calmed down, I think it's safe to assume it was caused by your anxiety... (I'm not a doctor though, just my thoughts). sorry you had such a rough night and day.. I do hope your day gets better!

Thank goodness I haven't ever experienced such pain with my panic accacks
 I do have severe physical symptoms like uncontrollable shaking, sweating, rapic hart beat... that could last almost a whole day Until I seeked treatment and med's They do help These attacks come out of nowhere... but I have now learned what triggers them and how to treat the attacks The attacks were so severe.... I was exhausted and had to go to sleep, just to recover So.. in a way I now know when to take the happy pills. My DR and T are now on speed dial and have become quite good friends You are not alone.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
