.id Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I have just been positive thinking for 4-5 hours when a panic attack started and I seem to have made it through it but I am mentally weak now. I had a bad attack yesterday that put me in Hospital and I found the strength to fight today and I have so many bruises from them trying to put lines into me. BUT I will hopefully write more when my mind clears a bit but just to let you know if you fight you can win. I hope everyone is well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heilmania Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I am glad you made it through. I am always worn out after having on, too. Your body has so many chemicals pumping through it during that fight-or-flight response, it would wear anyone out. Looking forward to hearing more when you're up for writing.

.id Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well what did I do, I started to feel panicked and just decided to try and fight it, I sat in the front room/TV room and played music and used my internet connection to find crap to read. I just started to fight every thought that was negative with something positive which was a strain on me. I put on a load of media to keep my mind busy, I smoked too much and drank a few cans and tried to eat a banana and salt and vinegar hula hoops. My mother helped a lot saying that I was doing well. I had a panic attack the day before that I put hospital with so to fight this on the next was very tiring, I am tired all the time but I feel better after 5 hours of a fight, it was not pleasant but it ended up working in the end. I can not say this will work for everyone but it worked for me, There is more likely things I have missed but memory was not on my side at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Glad to hear that you fought it and came out the other side. Panic attacks are horrible. My first one landed me in the ER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any other emotion I don't like I tend to watch movies or blast music to distract myself until it eases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancesintherain Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 well done on making it through one. they suck like crazy. i got an awful one back in high school (or so I think; I left without a diagnosis if I remember correctly). I had a bunch during my first IP admission and they showed me a ilttle pamphlet entitled "panic disorder." It felt strange, but I was new to mental health at the time, so I read through it. These days, I, knock on wood, don't get many full-blown ones. I'll have why I consider smaller variety anxiety attacks where I feel it physically but I don't have any of the emotional or cognitive piece to it. It's like I get the tightness in my chest, the creepy crawly feeling in my arms, and so on and so forth. I've mostly been able to breathe that variety out, but once I really wished I had ativan on hand. I always have a hard time telling when to use something that's PRN, but when it's full-blown attacking me, that's pretty obvious to me. That said, you somehow pulled it off without one, so more power to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.id Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have had many before but just decided to fight it that day, I have been tired since and family life has not been good but I hope I can use it again when I get another attack. Just wish their was energy drinking that could be injected into your brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
