Panic anxiety attacks thread

[Ankh]

You can always call Ra or Quo in these situations. Your higher self. The One Infinite Creator (or simply be with). Jesus. Everyone. Whatever floats your boat. .

I've tried that, but anxiety just gets worse during these attacks when I call for help. So I just try to focus on managing whatever it is I am doing at that moment.

Ankh I think trying meds in combination with therapy (CBT) is the standard protocol and best option when meds are involved. Best to try it out to see if this option works well for you and your lifestyle. Meds can take 2 weeks + to begin to work and depending on the goodness-of-fit with your body and meds, effects may vary. Any other members in your family who have had similar experiences with anxiety/panic attacks/agoraphobia? Sometimes if other members in our family had same condition and had successful med treatment, the meds they took may possibly work well for us too. In any case, since you are a nurse you know that if you've started in meds to consult doc abt meds etc.,. Whatever works for our own life is possibly good option.

Yeah, my mom has some problems and she takes pretty strong psych meds, way stronger than mine. But my doctor just called this morning and said that she doesn't want to continue prescribing tranquilizers to me, and that if I can't function than I should stay home from work sick. Yesterday that therpist called too who would do CBT for me, and she had really bad attitude too. I feel like none of them understand my problem, nor want to understand it. And they just push their way without listening to me, saying that "it's for my own good". BS!

I was thinking about this this whole night, and had sort of bad sleep because of that. I hate when people who are supposed to help you, think that they know better than you. And they are supposed to be healers!

And then of course that call from my doctor this morning didn't make it better. So I feel kind of down for the moment. My mom and my best friend told me that I need to switch to another doctor, and that they too have changed doctors hundred of times. You do it until you find a good one, who is willing to help you. Well, yeah, I totally agree with them. I am going to visit my doctor tomorrow as I already have this appointment with her, but as soon as I get home, I am going to switch her for another one.

It's just that this whole thing is extremely energy draining, and I already lose so much energy having these attacks every day. They are exhausting, and when things don't work out with your so called healers, it puts me down, and takes even more of my energy... :-/

Reeay, I have never heard about EMDR or EFT. I will definitely check this out and above all ask my (new or future to be) doctor about it! There is no point of asking this my current one. I am not going to stay with her, nor do I have any confidence in her as a healer or helper.

Thank you so much everyone here, for your stories, and for your love and support!! Much love to you all here!
