Ash...I am so sorry you are suffering and feel stuck in this panic and anxiety state...That feeling is horrible...I lived in a panic attack for years before I even knew what I was having...I was watching the Oprah Winfrey show, and that specific day they were doing a special on panic attacks...That is when I found out what they were, but, it took me years and years to come up with anything that would help me...I went to the public library and checked out every book that I could find on panic attacks, and nothing seemed to help...It wasn't until I found the StressCenter.com program that I recovered....So, if you will do the program, and use the tools, you will overcome the same as I did....That spacey feeling is just your brain's way of protecting itself when it is in over-load...It is actually a great thing...If you would tell yourself this when you have that spacey feeling, and do the breathing exercises; this would help you tremendously...You are not going to die from a panic attack...I had them for 21 years, and am now 46, and I am more alive than I ever was....If you have a fear of hurting yourself, then, I guarantee you that is just your anxiety talking...I had a fear of an object, and I was afraid that I would get up in the night, and hurt myself with that object, so, I hid that object every night...I didn't want it to be where I might see it...I won't tell you what the object was, because I do not want you to develop a new fear...I try and be very careful about this thing, because we have a tendency to develop new fears, when we are suffering from panic and anxiety attacks...I did not want to hurt myself, but, I was afraid that I would...If you are really suicidal, and do want to hurt yourself, then, I beg of you to seek professional help...If you are just afraid you will, but, don't want to, then it is just your anxiety, and as you work through the program, these anxious symptoms will disappear....
I check on here every day or do to see who has responded, so, if you need so more advice, or answers to new questions, then I will be here for you....I pray you do the program...I promise you it will help you more than you could ever imagine...I will be praying for you...God Bless...
