Hi. . I'm new to this forum. . A few weeks ago I had a panic attack, doctor given me tablets to calm me down. . But a few days after that I'm gettin really nuseacastic and really scared. . Lately I lost my appitite because of the nusea. . I get hungry but can't eat because of it. . And I always get this depersonalised feeling. . I feel like life isn't real. . I keep ask myself. 'Why am I in my body, howcome I'm me'. . I trip on life and I'm really scared. . Can someone please help me. . I'm really scared and I feel like I'm going to die. .

From what ive read and been told is to to avoid caffeine and drinks such as red bull, eat better, exercise, and to get a good nights sleep, and for me it's working, I havnt had an attack for a couple of weeks but I still have off days with anxiety but no where near as bad as a few weeks ago, have u researched attacks and anxiety?

Uhm. . I don't drink a lot of coffee but I have to drink powerade everyday. . Why?

[dizzeedavid]

Yeh it's so scary most times after an attack it would play on my mind for days! Yeh as for the weakness I'm the same I just want to curl up in bed, n I can't wait to go to sleep cos I forget bout it, but my first thoughts wen I wake is what's my body doing n panicin again! And for days walk around like in a dream, with foggy eyes, this has a huge impact on my home life, my wife my 4yr old and a baby due in december! So I knew I couldn't carry on in this state so I went to docs for test on my heart and blood, n everything came back fine. N in pretty sure youll be same, but for peace of mind mate get checked out, trust me ull feel alot better. Also have u tried Bach rescue remedy? My partner told me about it and it works wonders for me when I'm stressing, check it out.

Hey me too! Im 'new' too panic attacks, mine started a few weeks ago and like u I had and have thoughts bout me dying and getting really worked up about it, and me talking to my family friends and doctor about it really helped me, like a big weight of me, ur brain is a very powerful thing but try to concentrate on what's happening and not on what u think will happen! Easy said then done but please read up online to understand panic attacks and anxiety to realise ur not going to die! With me when I got these thoughts of dying then my panic attacks started n I had to get to an open window to get air! But now I do breathing exercises and have alot better control over it and thoughts, but rest assure u will be fine and won't die! X
