Stress Center Peer Support

I think just reading this calls me down. overtime I start to slip into some bad ear ringing chest hurting shooting pains. I look at this calls

I am just starting the program and am so glad that I don't experience all of those symptoms, but I do experience many. This is giving me hope knowing that I am not the only person out there struggling with this and that many of you are doing so much better now. Thank you for the posts and hope.

Thank you so much for posting that. I had a huge panic attack tonight and I had forgotten my cards at work. Like usual, I became convinced that this one was REALLY bad and my heart was going to give out. I am having a really hard time and don't know how late I'll be up trying to play bejeweled to distract myself. But your post reminded me that, better than anything else, my symptoms match a panic attack.

Nevertheless, I have an appointment for an EEG tomorrow. ;D I haven't QUITE exhausted every possible test that can be run yet. Next it may be the cardiologist. And those medical bills keep coming.

Jill, thanks alot for the information. It is really helpful. I'm just stating the program and it is great to know I'm not suffering alone. This list describes alot of what I have been feeling. This is great encouragement to work through the fears.

I have a lot of Panic attacks, I see a therapist and go to groups. I also am doing the program and t seems like it just won't go away. The anxiety. I am trying so hard.

You are doing all the correct things. The key is to go slowly, take your time, be patient. Panic attacks develop over time, so it takes time to get over them. Don't give up, be positive and optimistic. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks for the information! I"m in my 3rd week and today I woke to a panic attack a 2:30 and again at 5:30 am I used the cd to relax and my cards but my body is wound so tight I just can"t relax. So reading your post helps me greatly and I feel my body relax just reading about the symptons. Thank you i know I'm not alone and can find answers for my feelings here. sota

Awesome list, I think I have them all. LOL

I being to the urgent care about 5 times and the doctors kept saying there is nothing wrong with me finally last visit to the urgent care my doctor finally told me you are suffering from panic attacks and the symptoms on the list i think i probably had 80% of them
thank you

Very good list so many things that I'm not even aware might be due to anxiety. That's when it really gets my attention when I can't concentrate, feel weird and all the rest of it. Shakiness on the inside and feelings in my arms is what I hate although none of it is good. It even takes quite an effort to navigate this site and other things I have to concentrate on. The good news is it will go away in time. But in the pitt digging my way out now. Thanks all.
