I just wanted to say how amazing you were !! You were having a ten minute panic attack and managed to continue ??? Don't you think that was just fantastic that you were able to continue and take part in when you were feeling so bad ??? You didn't run and hide, you didn't fall to the floor, you weren't hysterical, don't beat yourself up so bad about it. You had a panic attack but stayed right where you were, no-one noticed anything unusual, so congratulate yourself !!
Diazepam is useful for very short periods of intense anxiety, so may be worth discussing it with your doctor, but I really think you did so well when you were obviously feeling so horrible !!
Have you talked to your psychologist about being referred to a psychiatrist? If techniques aren't seeming to work for you, perhaps adding medication, while continuing to work on some techniques, could help you achieve your goals.
Members, what do you think? Has anyone ever experienced this? Have you ever felt like nothing will work for your...if so, what did you do?
Good luck mich, and please keep us posted on how you are doing,
Hiya, i was prescribed diazepam for when i had to go to hospital, i didnt have any side affects from it, and worked within 20 mins of taking it, i hardley felt any panic at all and the doctor does give them to calm people just for certain situations like agoraphobics who cant go out like myself or people who are afraid of flying ect.
I hope you find something to help and have a fantastic wedding day, best of luck to u x
Today was brutal! I have been scared to death that I am going to have a massive anxiety and panic attack at my wedding that is taking place in a month and I went to the church I am getting married in for mass today and have a panic attack through the entire thing. I felt like I was going to faint the entire time, I have to fan myself with my friends notebook, once I sat down I was scared to get back up because I thought I would faint I got really hot and sweaty etc. etc. What am I going to do? I had that bad of a panic attack and it wasn't my wedding so what am I going to be like on my actual wedding day? I don't want to ruin it for myself and my fiance. I tried every technique that I have learned and none of them worked. I was in a panic attack from about 10 minutes into mass until I left the building. This can't happen on my wedding day. I am seeing a psychologist but like I said I tried all my techniques I learned and nothing worked. It was one of the longest PA's I have ever had. I'm sooo scared of this happening on my wedding day and that is all I can think about. I don't currently take medication and I hope not to but I am wondering if anyone has been prescribed something specifically for when you have a panic attack that works almost instantaneously and doesn't have any side effects and won't leave you feeling loopy or really tired or anything like that. Something that just relaxes you so that a panic attack is unlikely. Anyway if anyone can help me out and give me suggestions on how to handle my wedding day that is fast approaching and the medication that would be great. Thank you in advance!
