It's really the most frightening thing. To have your body go through all this, and then to realize it's not something wrong with your body thats causing it. It's your mind making it happen. This time as soon as I got into a hospital bed I immediately felt better, unlike last time where I had after effects.
It wasn't a full on attack, I just suddenly felt like I couldn't get any air when I was breathing and my body reacted to my irregular breathing and freaking out is what I was told. Just like my first one, my second was the one where I lost it. According to wikipedia what I felt was just symptoms of being inbetween panic attacks, meaning there may be another one coming.
Other than that, life's been decent. Been thinking of making a blog so I have a place specifically for shit like this. 
I still have
this song stuck in my head.
If you want to know more about panic attacks, research peer-reviewed journal articles on the subject, especially recent ones.
Otherwise, get yourself to a counselor specializing in panic attacks. Medications only alleviate the symptoms. Therapy will be of greater help in the long term.
I see a ton of people that are addicted to anxiety meds (xanax etc) and they are just horrible looking.

Peer reviewed journals are really a lot to take in for someone not used to reading them, really. Heck, I know when I started to seriously read them this past year, it took a bit to get to the point where I could efficiently read them.

True, it took me about 12 weeks of research to get used to them, but they are infinitely more informative than, in this case, the DSM-IV-TR and statements about mental illnesses and related disorders from the under-informed and inexperienced.
Be sure to give me the url if you do. Suddar fucked around with this message on 07-19-2008 at 04:16 AM.
