You can handle this on your own..get a good doc to give you Xanax. the druggies gave this drug a bad name when it is so dafe. Valium cant give you the fast relief you need. My blood pressure soars when I have them. Some people have nothing to fear and it happens.Tried all kinds of meds and the xanax is the best. No counslers either...what a waste as most of them are wierdo's themselves seeing I have many friends in that profession lol. If the attack is bad enough take 2 pills as they burn fast depending on how anxious you are.
Relax..you are not loosing your mind. anxiety is fear. It can happen in a big continual attack if something is scaring you. It can happen if nothing is wrong. No problem really. Its like living with bad ears or bad eye sight. deal with it and take Xanax when you feel its going to happen. been taking xanax for 25 yrs and am not a druggy. Hate the feeling of being doped up and dont drink. You can wake up with the sweats and run to the bathroom..think your dieing and what not. It helps if you dont fear them and say ok I will take a xanax and go along with the show instead of fighting it and thinking you need a shrink lol.
There is definitely help for this as stated above. Don't wait to get help, being afraid all the time is no way to live, especially when there is so much help for you. You're not alone, many suffer with this fear. Good luck and keep us posted on how you're doing!
