This Isn't Good

[LuckyV2]

I'm sorry but I am having something really fearful going on here. I've had it since I made my last post but not here. I'm scared. Not sure what is going on but I'm shutting down where I feel like I shouldn't even be on the Internet anywhere. OMG I feel like hiding well I am hiding OMF

Ok Vic.

Take some really DEEP SLOW BREATHES. HOLD EACH ONE TO THE COUNT OF 10. Then take some more. Do this 10 times.

Then CALL someone, me, or someone else whose # you have or call the mental health line and call it NOW. You are having a 'panic' attack. They happen. You know they happen. You will get through this.

Now breathe, then CALL someone.

Love and hugs,

Hang in there buddy, sounds like a panic attack to. Have you been taking your meds? have you skipped some or forgot to take them? Forgetting them can throw your body off to. Be strong now.

[LuckyV2]

No I've been taking them. I don't know what has hit me all the sudden but I have this terrible fear I can feel within and I can't point as to what it is. It is scaring the heck out of me and Chance won't leave my side, he knows something is going on. Now I'm starting to cry WTF

[LuckyV2]

Gezz that was the longest spell I ever had if I ever had one of those like that at all. Scary.

I am better now, talked with a few people as you suggested, fear. It all boils down to FEAR and we all know how many forms of fear there are. Mine is stupidity

Glad it has passed and YES they are VERY scary, phew! *hugs*

Lucky,

Just saw this post. WOW! I'm really glad you made it through. I remember a panic attack when I was in my 20's. But it was my own fault. I was out with my dog running around the woods tripping and got disoriented and lost and could not stop running trying to find something I recognized. I kept telling myself to just stop, sit down, and get a grip, but I couldn't. Total panic. Hope you don't experience that any more.

I am glad you are doing better Vic. Everyone gave you great advice and support.
I have been off playing with my grandson so I missed this...sorry
Sending you some well wishes today

[LuckyV2]

Not too sure what is going on but it is once again happening. Shoot I am taking my meds, WTF? Maybe I should just stop taking all these medications cause I feel that I am getting worse. Not wanting to do anymore of the projects that I do, or try to do. The damn thought of drinking is here. Not good. If I drink I shoot dope. Maybe I should go get me a joint. maybe that would help I don't know anymore. I really give up.

Sorry to hear u have a bad time, after u sent me such a positive reply, Wots up? XXX

[Giyana]

Vic. Drinking is what we do. You have not...for some time. this will pass. Please hang in there my friend. Not having too good a day myself, but tomorrow is not far off. Things change. Do you have a doctor you can call first thing in the morning?

Oh, do I feel your pain.

Hi Vic,
i use to suffer with terrible panic attacks in my twenties, i think thats why a lot of us turn to drink, if u get enough down your neck the panic subsides. I now take a drug from my doctor, they r antidepressants but they do work. How ever what i started doing was stopping the drug so i could drink more, but now one week sober, taking my medication properly and feeling great. Last week however when i made the desision 2 quit, i felt really tired spent lots of last week reading and resting and spoiling myself. I felt i could eat wot i wanted eg chololate cos i was no longer having calories from the wine i use to gussle every night.
Take care Sarah x

[LuckyV2]

Well still sober and I have my appointment with my family Doctor tomorrow. I will tell him about my episodes and see what we might need to do. I really think that I should wait on changing anything until Next month when I have a appointment with my Nut Doctor really. I had to wait for four months cause I missed my appointment when I didn't have a vehicle. So yeah.

Paranoia it seems to follow me. I just went down to get a lighter at the closest place here and there was a girl there that lied to the Police last summer when she got busted for meth. Said I left it in her house and I never used in her place. She just got out of treatment. God treatment. Never been to a in-patient, been to out-patient, but never the in. Of course my main program of recovery is AA. So anyways

Enough out of me I must be feeling better cause I am posting more LOL

[Giyana]

Listen you two, this is not easy. I was suicidal this morning and it was all chemical-induced.

We have to get rid of this poison in our system, and it takes work. Thankfully I have another day to try, one more time. Pray for me, and for us. We are worthy individuals and have much to offer because of our suffering. NEVER FORGET THAT!!

OMG Im having another one just really fearful, afraid, my heart feels as if it is beating out of my chess. I am scared shitless and yeah troubles of my own fricking making.

I just hate this crap!

Lucky: don't know what to say to you - except this WILL pass. Then you will feel normal/okay for a bit.

Did you go to your family doctor? That is what I HAVE to do if and when these panicky episodes get out of hand. Sort of depends what he/she is like, of course. For me, he is someone I can really talk to.

You mention taking quite a few meds - don't know what to say about that. May help - or perhaps work against each other. Something to discuss with your doc.

But please, do hang in here. We can't really make you feel better - but can be here, someone to talk to, which is what I desperately need when I am having serious anxiety problems.

Something someone on here suggested to me when I was in really bad shape: Can you think of five GOOD things that happened today? Sounds simplistic, I know - but the process is helpful.

Love,

zanna

[LuckyV2]

Yeah I have a family Doctor who has been prescibing these meds cause I missed my appointment with my Nut Doctor awhile back. I get to see her next month so I am sure things will turn around. Today hasn't been too bad so I am blessed with that today.

[remi]

I get panic attacks too. They used to be very infrequent, but now I believe I have PTSD after my house fire, and I have them much more frequently. I've been trying breathing exercises and meditation to help work through them. I hope these get better for you. They really suck.

Glad you are feeling better.
