Jake had one at 1:30 am last bight, he walks around all night. When I have mine it is get out of Dodge time! I tell Jake get me outta here now. So we drive around the ghost towns till I feel better.The lighting is low in these small towns and only 1 station is open. Sometimes we see a cop or deputy sitting in his car and we talk to them a minute or two. Had them for decades so doesn't seem like there is a cure. But they are no fun at all.
I don't believe I've ever had an anxiety attack, but they sound miserable. When I was diagnosed with cancer I had some "moments" but I considered them as freaking out (sheer terror and dread).
I had bad panic attacks a lot when I was very young. The panic just came out of the blue one day, then I was off and running having them day and night. Doctors or noone knew that much about them all those years ago, or either they just didn't talk about it. They feel horrible and can be scary.
Beth what you went through is major anxiety and you did very well under the circumstances. Jake and I did keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Krystal doctors still don't know how to deal with them. Best way is just remember it will pass and your not really dying,you just think you are, lol.
I appreciate everyone's kindness, prayers, and putting up with my whining during that time. I can only imagine how awful a panic attack must feel. Sorry that you and Jake have to go through that.
Beth they only last a few hours. Before I'd call the ambulance or tell somebody to take me to the hospital, it is actually funny how the doctors knowing whats going on try to keep a straight face. First couple I had I thought what the hell is wrong with you doc, I'm dying here and you just sit and look at me.
We were just sorry we couldn't do more for you. You didn't bother us at all, we were just hoping you'd get better and soon.
