I am having a panic attack. I know what it is but my mind tells me differantly. It tells me it's a heart attack or a stroke. I don't know why. Because I know it is a panic attack. I am so dizzy though. I know that my ears are screwed up so bad right now it is causing vertigo again. But I still think it is something bad. Last night I had a PTSD related panic attack because of our woodstove. I hate being this way. I really hope I can get better with therapy this time. I give up to easily when it does'nt work overnight or can be taken away with medication. But I don't think my husband is going to le me give up on therapy this time. He has started waking me up very early to take my meds because panic and stress hass been keeping me up till 7am and I sleep till 3pm. So he wakes me up at 9 to take my pill. Last night one of the kids threw playdough in the oven and we turned it on to cook and it smelled like burning rubber all through the house so I had a PTSD related flashback from that. I don't want to be this way. Is there some kind of cure for panic disorder or is it something I have to live with forever? I hope there is some kind of cure for it. I feel like I am missing out on so much in life by being this way.

 So sorry you are going through this. Just keep telling yourself it's just a panic attack and stick with the therapy. I'm sorry  but I had to laugh at the playdough in the oven I'm just sorry it caused you to have a flashback. Take care , K

Panic attacks are controllable. It takes some practice. Good luck.

Dear Thunderbear ~ I'm so sorry for whatever experience you had that has resulted in the PTSD and related panic attacks. It must have been terrible, and I am truly so sorry. As mentioned above, and as you have been doing, just keep telling yourself that it is a panic attack. You are fortunate to have a husband who cares so much for and about you! billieJ
