hi everyone, i am new to this site, well, i've read a lot, but never wrote anything about myself. i started having panic attacks 3 years ago. i raced to the hospital, as i did numerous times after that until finally, after numerous tests, one dr. told me he wasn't going to do any tests on me because so many had already been done and i was a classic example of having panic disorder. within a 4-6 mo. time frame, i went to a ent dr, a thyroid dr, chiropractor, gen. prac., psych., insisted on cat scans. i totally felt like i was going insane, i had never had anything wrong w/me before. fortunately i have a sis in law who was a nurse and who also used to suffer from pa's who told me that you are hyper-sensitive to every little pain or feeling. FINALLY, someone who knew what i was going through! i called her many, many times for advice, and just someone to relate, since she told me about lots of symptoms i had that she did to that the dr.s didn't tell me about. my throat felt weird, i had a knot below my ear, my chest pain, headaches, tinglies, hot or cold rushes thru my body, etc, etc. thank god for her cuz my husband was an ass thru it all. he tells me to calm down...."oh, ok, is that all i have to do?"....nice. anyway, i have since had twins who are almost a year old, and i am so afraid of dying. i have chest pains, even though i hardly ever have a panic attack anymore (thanks to paxil cr) i get headaches and think i have a brain tumor, or think my chest pains are heart related. we also have a 5 yr old son, i'm 38, not young, but not old, and am constantly feeling like something bad is going to happen to me, and i will leave my children w/o a mother. fyi, this is hereditary, my dad has had pa's since 19 yrs old, and everyone thought he was a hypo condriac (sp?). do any of you feel this way, doomed???? - |  Add as favourites (36) | - |  Quote this article on your site | - | Views: 1019 | - | Print | - | E-mail
1. 14-05-2008 02:18 I understand how you feel. I don't feel "doomed" it's not dying that I'm afraid of, it's not dying and suffering from something. I feel like there is ALWAYS something wrong with me and I feel so useless sometimes b/c I "don't feel good" I'm sensitive to every little feeling but the difference is I'm not convinced that it's something major, it just causes me many panic attacks and lost days spent in bed. I find it helps if I give myself permission to die. Sounds really morbid but it helps me, I just say to myself if I'm going to drop dead right here in Target, so be it! It usually helps me, I can see how having children would make that hard but it's all I've got for ya' ~Best wishes~ IP: 66.57.46.69 Registered 2. 14-05-2008 02:57 Well I am also new to this site. Everyone is so great and really helpful. I\'ve suffered from panic attacks for 5 years and it feels like forever. I remeber a time while I was at work one day it was really crowded and so many people were coming up to me asking for my help; then it happened, \"panic attack\". But I am on paxil also and that has helped me alot, Thank God. Well good luck with everything IP: 69.136.86.158 Registered 3. 17-05-2008 19:14 thanks jennirae, and christine marie. i do the same thing sometimes, just say, "i guess if i'm gonna drop dead, so be it, and can't do anything about it." i appreciate your feedback!
