Ok I STARTED THE PROGRAM I JUST GOT IT A FEW DAYS AGO. I HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING AT ALL... OR EATING MUCH DUE TO STRESS.

RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING A PANIC ATTACK... I HAVEN'T HAD ONE IN A LONG TIME.... I FORGOT WHAT THEY FELT LKE BUT I THOUGHT IN MY HEAD THAT THIS WANS'T A PANIC ATTACK THAT I TWAS MY BLOOD PRESSURE I CHECKED IT IT WAS A LITTLE HIGH BUT NOT HIGH AS IN HAVING TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL....

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THAT THIS IS WHAT PPL FEL WHEN THEY HAVE A PANIC ATTACK...

MY SKIN CRAWLS WHEN I TOUCH THE BED COVERS OR PULL MY CLOTHES DOWN AGAINST MY SKIN. IT HURTS AND FEELS SENSATIVE WHEN I TOUCH TOO MUCH..

MY PELVIS IS HURTING BAD IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE A STOMACH ACHE BAD.

I CAN'T TOUCH ANYTHING WITHOUT MY SKIN HURTING......

EVEN RUBBING MY TOUNGE AGAINST MY LIPS IS THIS NUMB TINGLY FEELING ....

I HATE THIS ... IM SCARED I DONT WANT TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS AGAIN... I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM SO SCARED RIGHT NOW....

MY DOCTOR WONT GIVE ME XANAX ... IF MY BODY IS OUT OF CONTROL LIKE THIS AND I CAN'T TOUCH THINGS OR MOVE HARDLY OR SLEEP THEN I NEED XANAX ...

I AM TRYING THE EFT TAPPINGS AND BREATHING IN AND OUT AND LISTENING TO LUCINDAS RELAX TAPES BUT ITS VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF A PANIC ATTACK.

I'M NOT BREATHING HARD .... I DONT FEEL LIKE IM HAVING A PANIC ATTACK IT ONLY STARTED WHEN I FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY SKIN CRAWLING WHEN I TOUCH THINGS... AND MY SKIN HURTING WHEN I TOUCH THINGS..

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY MY SKIN IS TINGLING OR HURTING BADLY WHEN I TOUCH THE COVERS OR CLOTH OR ANYTHING?? I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS MY BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE WHAT IS GOING ON ... PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN .... HELP ... I DON'T WANT THIS FEELING IT SERIOUS HURTS HWEN I TOUCH SOMETHING...

I HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING ALOT... MY STOMACH HURTS SO BAD TODAY ALOT...... SO BAD.. EVERYTHING HURTS..

I HAVE ATIVAN BUT I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT THE ONLY PILL I TRUST THAT I TOOK BEFORE THAT HELPED WAS XANAX.

I'M EXTREMELY SCARED OF ATIVAN BECAUSE IT SAID THAT THE SIDE FFECT IS AMNESIA OR IM AFRAID IT WILL MAKE ME FEEL OUT OF BODY OR WIERD WHEN I TAKE IT.

I am hoping someone is home with you right now or someone is readily available for you to call for support. I dont know how severe this sensation is or if you have intense pain...but anything that severe should be dealt with by health professionals. If you experienced this before and have handled it, then I would say do the same thing. Keep me posted. Please call 911 if you feel severe pain. Dont mess with that. creamcheese

Hi lost girl! It is okay....breathe, breathe .....I agree with cream cheese, if this is really severe- call for help. If you can deal with it, Try your best to calm down. I have had that same sensation during a panic attack- skin crawling, tingling, can't stand clothes or or covers touching me. One suggestion: look under general comments where you posted this and read"look what panic and anxiety can do" even if you've read before, REALLY read it and read other's comments....see if you start to calm down

So the skin crawling and touching clothes and covers hurts your skin too??

My blood pressure was taken and it was just a little bit high but not serious..

my skin just hurts when i touch things.. it happende before it came and went. Plz dont tell me to see a doctor right now... i'm in no way of going and i've felt this before when panci disorder started... i'm just scared to take ativan. i need xanax.

xlostgirlx....please read this thread that was posted just recently...entitled "Look what panic and anxiety does to a person!" I believe JIllzmind posted it...you will find your 'body sensations" in the list of 'symptoms"...it's JUST anxiety girl...Breathe..let it pass..you will BE JUST FINE!!!!!!!!!

I just read it. But i can't believe its happening again.. i haven't had these sensations sinc 2006 when my panic disorder had started.. I'm really upset and depressed i just started this program and now that this happened just makes me feel extremely depressed...

Is there a way to stop the tingling sensations and pains when i touch things? I mean i can't open a doorknob or put my clothes on it hurts to touch things from the high sensativity of the tingling feeling.

Okay..don't go to the Dr.! Try to talk yourself out of this. Yes, I have had that same sensation, but I knew I was having a panic attack(still scary). It came and went and eventually left. One time I rushed to my Dr., certain I was dying, when I got there my BP was 164/90. After she talked to me, read a magazine for about 30 min., it was 119/80. It is horrible what we can do to ourselves. I can't advise you on the ativan because I've never taken it. I have taken xanax occaisionally and you're right, it does help, but if you don't have any you just do the best you can. Honestly, it doesn't work as well as self-talk and deep breathing- that is always available! I really believe you will be okay - if you were dying you couldn't type!

I am trying to relax i just woke up from sleeping only 4 hours and this happened. I don't want to go through the skin crawling thing again.. i'm going to try to get back on xanax so i can actually get some sleep and not have the skin crawling thing then continue with the program and learn how to stop this crap once and for all. I can't go through panic disorder again not this time.

You could try rubbing something soothing on your skin, lotion with aloe or something you have. I did this before and it helped some. If you can, just lie down and listen to your tapes, deep breathe your way through this - you CAN do it

I just tried the lotion thing..Touching my skin .Period. hurts... anything that touches or rubs against parts of my skin the tingling is so sensative it hurts. my body feels like the sensation is weakening so im glad of that.. i'm going to try to rest since i haven't had much sleep.hopefully this won't come back again. I hope this program stops this sensation competely. and the horrible stomach pains.
