A few days ago I had a full blown panic attack. The first full blown attack I have had in ages. I am accustom to anxiety, even extreme anxiety, but this time I really thought I was going to die. I felt crazy. So, I guess maybe I need to get back to this forum and explore some of my options...reach out for a little support. So...well...here I am and I have no idea what else to say at the moment.

i was bad the other day when a friend cut himself with box cutters i couldn't handle a thing - and would have been useless at er - so i cam eon here and lo and behold, selfy took me to support chat and helped me connect and focus on the moment, it took awhile but we calmed down this crazed triggered attack ... i took extra ativan to help too!' i was wiped out a few days after but it calmed down before my heart got involved ... glad your around. sorry you went through that alone. we are here for you now if you need us! love, nightbird

I am slightly agoraphobic or maybe a recovering agoraphobic. I am able to get to my job--most days and I can get down to the mail box--I even attend some social events. But, this panic attack was different because I had an extreme fear of going home and dying alone. I felt like my safe place--my home--was no longer safe. Like the one thing in this world that really comforts me was taken away....I was really a mess....

Let me see if I can say what I'm thinking and make it make sense!! Your post on the psychotherapy board sounds like you're making big changes....moving to a new level of trust with your T, maybe something you've never felt before. When I have big internal shifts like that, it's often accompanied by a lot of anxiety, and even panic attacks. My T says it's because the old thoughts and patterns are being pushed out, but still trying to hang on. It's a big internal struggle. I wonder if something like this is going on with you??

earthmama, I think you nailed it. Even though the things I am going through in therapy are positive, they are a big shift for me. Thanks so much for making the connection for me. I had not put that together. Wow, it feels good that you care enough to help me figure these things out. Maybe I will do something extremely uncharacteristic of me and allow myself to feel good about your interest and concern. Thanks so much!!!! You have really made my day.

When i thought my anxiety was close to being gone i thought, hey i dont need PC anymore. But Im glad I didnt forget about it, because you should never walk away from a good support system.
