Another night in the ER!

for 20 år siden 0 +0 / -0 45

Thanks everyone, for your kind words. I really didn't think of it that way, I was just so frustrated that it happened to begin with that I forgot to focus on the fact that I beat it. I know I shouldn't feel embarassed by it, but while I was stainding in the ER I was looking around at all the really sick, injured people and I was more afraid of how the doctor would tell me I was overreacting than I was afraid of the attack itself. I am seeing my doctor this week to start CBT. I wanted to add thatI feel that we are all strong caring people. I read in a book once that people with panic/anxiety would be the first ones to run back into a building that was on fire to save someone else, because we are so used to fighting fear and working on impulse. I believe that is true, we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. My boyfriend sent me this quote when I was feeling low "Try not to worry about the bad times, they will come and go, just remember all the good and live inside their glow". Thanks again for all your support. :)

Melissa, You are so kind and supportive. A welcome asset to our site. I have deleted you phone number from the post only, as there are many surfers and I would not want it to get into the wrong hands. If you are currently, or in the future, talking to someone through e-mail or MSN, you are more than welcome to give your personal numbers there. Thank you, Josie

Wrestler, CONGRATULATIONS to you as well!!!!!!! To also add to what D.E.H. had to say----there is also no shame in needing to take medication (if that should occur for you again down the road). I used to be very obsessive about not taking medication but I understand that if I had high blood pressure or diabetes etc....I would see no shame in medicine. So I treat panic the same way----occassionally our bodies need the support. It's great if we can cope without meds but I'm no longer willing to give up quality of life just because I fear swallowing a pill. Great Job Wrestler!!! Keep up the good work!! Be positive!! :)

I think you did well..........Remember, never feel upset or ashamed because of an attack...........It's a natural bodily defense against danger and at some point in time, it could save your life in an emergency situation.....

Currently going through a medium anxiety period. Yesterday afternoon I started to panic. It came out of nowhere. This was 2 days after I was working at my second job and felt parylized when I was with a customer. I had to run to get my bottle of water in case I had to pop a valium. I do not have to. Later that night I was fine, but a little jittery. I did take half a valium that night. Friday I was OK, but Saturday afternoon and night, I totally 2 - 5 mg valium tablets. I still considered it a good thing because. 1. I did not have to call my therapist and 2. I did not have a full blown attack. I did have to run outside and take a half hour to regroup, but I did it and that was that. Tha valium is the crutch. I said all this to compared it to yours. It's not much different We both made it! I have a little lasting effects from it, but that will pass and so will yours. I also must add that I am not on meds. Just the valium when needed. I consider this a success. I do fear going back on them some day, but that's fear, it's not an acceptance that I will. David

Mel, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I echo what everyone else has said----once you realized what was happening you took control!! What you did was incredibly difficult--give yourself credit for a major success. You deserve a few days rest--your body and your mind probably are exhausted. Good Job!!!! :)

But you did it!! You left the ER you calmed yourself down. I say congrats you have hit a milestone. I am suffering from being totally tired as well. It's been 2 days of feeling ok but I am so tired. My therapist says its because of everything my body has been through the past few weeks. I am scared of meds as well but I am going to give in and take them if that's what it takes. My mom takes paxil and it has changed her life. Don't beat yourself up. I think everyone on this board will be proud of you for walking out of that ER:)

To an outsider this can be considered somewhat of a success. You KNEW there was nothing wrong and were able to walk out of the ER. Many people would not be able to do that. The majority of people wouldn't have been able to get themselves to calm down either. One of the most important things that I have learned about panic is not to take for granted that it is gone. I acknowledge that it is a chronic type thing that can come and go for no reason. When I accept this it makes it easier for me to recover from an attack. Don't fight yourself, give yourself a day or two to recover from the strong attack. Baby yourself as much as possible. Remember, you recovered quickly! Rachele

Just when I thought I was making progress. I'm leaving the movie theatre, feeling a little dizzy, then really dizzy like I'm losing my thought process, then comes the panic..full blown, hands tingling, numbness the whole nine yards. Im sure I'm going to pass out. My boyfriend takes me to the ER, walk in stand there trembling and twitching like mad for 5 minutes, while no one attends to us, I calm down realize I'm not having a stroke and walk out crying. This has sent me into depression, it had been 6 months since I had a major attack, usually I can stop them myself. it's now two days later and I still feel dizzy and completely exhausted, thinking about taking meds more than ever, but I'm so scared of them. I felt so stupid standing that hospital and then walking out because nothing was wrong with me....SO FRUSTRATING!
