I had one of the worst panic attacks I've had in years abou 2 hours ago. I'm still recovering from it. I was in Krogers and I felt dizzy then got the chills and hot flashes at the same time (wth?) by the time i got home i was actually worn out from it. Im still shakey and weak in the legs. Anyway, just had to talk about it to people who understand cuz God knows no one round here cares or understands that mentall illness is just as bad if not worse than physical illness.

you are right that mental illness can be as bad or worse than physical at times. If you can, try to take some time for yourself to relax. Hope you are feeling better soon

I hate those attacks they come out of no where and I too begin to get hot flashs and chills all at the same time. However when mine hit I am incapable of rational thought and actions except to pace and hang on till they subside. My heart goes out to you and I hope you are better very soon.
