panic attacks

[Alexa910]

who's guilty of having these

worst feeling ever

[crazyray™]

went through a lil rough patch end of 05. took a few times, but i learned how to control them.

had maybe 1 in 2007 and 1 in 2008 and i'm done

adapt and overcome yessssssssssssssss

I get anxiety attacks....out of the blue too. Xanax takes care of it though, so I have been pretty good.

[just b u]

I had more of anxiety attacks. learn how to breath through it and talk about things that really bother you in your life with your friends and close ones. it really helps. it's a horrible feeling i agree. but you learn why you get them and how to control them and you'll be free of em.

[toprockcantbstoppd]

I get them sometimes.

[woo]

breathing is big but sometimes it isn't enough. if i am home thank god i can curl in fetal position and lie in bed frozen.... but breathing deep

but i dont go calling my friends and family- i have a therapist. there are some times throughout the year i can be overbearing and i'd rather pay a professional to make sense of it. also, if i keep going to the same person they know the whole deal.

i see him like once a month now- there was a point in time i was seeing him 2x a week lol . so i can say i had positive results i the long run. took a few years tho

xanax for absolute emergencies. like recently one of my lifelong best friends died suddenly and his mom didn't fund $ for cemetery services so i was losing my mind amidst helping raising money to lay him to rest. yeah... i took some xanax for that.,, once i realized i was driving my friends crazy

anyone who knew me for the past few years- and gives me the time of day these days totally sees how much i've unwound. i think i matured too late and too slowly

bottom line: do healthy things as much as possible. but if ur doing the same thing like working out too much that's not healthy.

I wish I had them so I could get a script for xanax

[Mothahen]

I have gotten them really bad since my dad died....awful feeling

[BabyDee]

I started getting them a few years ago with my last job...the first one I had I couldn't breathe and went into hysteria while I was getting ready for work....my parents almost brought me to the hospital not knowing what was wrong...I finally snapped out of it maybe an hour later

I hadn't had a huge attack after that till a few months ago....I started getting them BAD and on the regular while things were extrememly out of place in my life....had another attack in Miami (thank god eleni and dmitry were there ) but now only get bad anxiety from time to time...not a full attack

[nycxtcgirl69]

I seem to get them at night when im trying to go to sleep. I start thinking that something bad is going to happen to me, and all the sudden i cant breathe, swallow, cant sit still, heart starts racing, i get dizzy i feel like im gonna faint. u just gotta learn to calm yourself down, by thinking about good things.
they suck alot. but i cant take xanex every time i get one, i will become addicted lol

[La La Lori]

I have anxiety attacks where it feels like someone is sitting on my chest. It's terrible. I have xanax for that but I really dont wanna be on xanax unless it's before bed and I need to sleep. I have learned to cope with my stress/anxiety by different methods. A glass of wine normally does the trick. LLLOL I figure that's a lot better than taking a pill.

[nycxtcgirl69]

yes and thats why i drink wine almost every night lol

[soberone421]

Ugh they are horrible, I've had them since I was little I remember not being able to catch my breath but now I know what was wrong, get really bad spurts of anxiety like once or twice a year depending on what is going on...

got some xanax for my plane ride, took it for the first time this past weekend, worked well... took only a 0.25mg pill, relaxed me without making me pass out lasted for a few hrs, def wouldn't take it all the time, it just masks the issues doesn't solve them

[La La Lori]

yes and thats why i drink wine almost every night lol

me too. As soon as I get home...I take a shower and pour myself a glass of wine. LOL

[just b u]

i ve heard that square breathing is supposed to be really calming

[nycxtcgirl69]

me too. As soon as I get home...I take a shower and pour myself a glass of wine. LOL
