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 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.
