like you, what helps me a lot through panic attacks is when i come to either this site or others and just read through things. especially when it has to do with other people having panic attacks. and while it may not work for a lot of people, it does for me knowing that while i am going through a panic attack, reading that others are and have gone through them as well settles my mind.

again, i know it sounds weird, but it calms me down to know that i'm not dying or i'm not having a heart attack - because everyone else that has posted about it and has posted their stories have and are going through the same thing. it's weird that it brings comfort, but it does. please keep us posted on how things go - and know that i am here for you no matter what!

I spoke to my primary doc about seeking therapy she said she will put in a refferal but that it will take months until they can schedule me for an apointment my high risk doc told me he can provide with some safe meds that will help me cope with the attacks while pregnancy I turned him down the firt time because I was afraid of addiction but I then spoke to my primary doc and she said that he know what's best and that he will prescribe me meds that are non addictive and safe so on my next visit ill give it a shot. But this is a great site to go to and relate to other and see how other people get through they're attacks gives me ideas in trying and hope in over coming this . I appreciate every ones support and I am also here to give support in return joined as a group we remain strong and we will make it through faith keeps my hopes alive

I feel the same as you. When I feel the panic reading post here helps me. I used to feel so alone with my anxiety, Just knowing someone else out there is  feeling the same way helps. I hope you get some peace soon!

Sorry that you are going through a hard time right now but I am glad that you decided to write a post.

Try taking a deep breath and relax if possible.  You can also try writing in a journal it should help you just like posting on this site does.  

Are you currently seeing a therapist? If you not you might want to consider doing so.  Together you will be able to come up with a treatment plan that will help you deal with the anxiety.

Remember you are not alone.  Feel better soon....
