Well we certainly understand what you are going through even why to a certain extent in general terms although your symptoms are different. But then we are all different so some things can be very different. On the other hand panic has a certain pattern it follows, it is just the manifestation that seems different. In other words no matter how different you may seem, if it is anxiety or panic attacks it is treatable with a good chance of curing it. The program has a good record. You work it, you win. Pretty much that simple.
I'm curious, are you claustrophobic? (being in the back seat) Looking for the trigger.
If your fight or flight system kicks in and doesn't totally kick out you will get all the symptoms that are normal with it just for a longer than normal time.
Have you checked to see if there is a physical reason for any of the symptoms, you can have physical and mental at the same time with one setting the other off.
What I am saying is you need to be sure there is no physical reason for any of how you feel.
That will leave only the mental side which can certainly be fixed.
Hey everyone I am new and completely lost. Up until about 2 months ago I would say I lived a normal up until my first very bad panic attack I was in my friends car was full about 4 of us I was in the backseat when out of nowhere I had forgetten where I was or who I was I looked at my friend and I trully did not in a way understand who what he was deep in the back of my head I knew that he has to be someone important to me I tried desperately to make a link with him to my past in a way make him real but for the life of me I couldnt than this is were it got dangerous I decided that I had to get out of his car while we were driving on the highway and I honestly tried and if it wasnt for my other friend who noticed what I was trying to do I trully believe I would of jumped out and he said the determination in my eyes were scary to him he jumped at me and was pulling my hands from the door handle and told the driver to pull over. After about 10 min they drove me home and I had to call my girlfriend and all she said I was doing was asking her ridiculous questions like if I had parents and if we were real. I feel bad becouse on top of that I asked my cousin who mother had very recently passed away if she really did in a desperate attempt to make a connection with the past. Ever sense then I have had at least one bad panic attack min every two days but I feel like I am not the same person I was before this all started like I used to be happy but now im this guy who is living in a shell most of the day it seems i have blurry vision and just looking at the world i dont think i understand it like i used to i am trully scared that i am going to forget my life as a normal guy and that this new constant state of fear im in is my new life. When i get really depressed and go through my moments not the actual attacks but the ones where i cant remember being happy i dont really think its worth doing. But on a better note i have done my first session and read another post of someone feeling what i feel and i already feel better like i can beat this now. I just wanted to share my story hopefully someone here can help me get through this like im sure we all know looking for help with family and friends even if they do reallly want to help is hard becouse they do not know how this feels if anyone can help i would trully appreciate it. Thanks
