They are indeed the most terrifying, unreal and awful episodes I have ever encountered. My first (let us call it “Full Blown”) panic attack happened on the first day of my new employment. I have had one before that, but that was the first time it escalated to that peak of terror….

First a little background: I have a history of alcohol and chemical dependency. I have taken a countless amount of psychedelic drugs in my teens and twenties, and figured the said “panic attacks” were just flashbacks. I was about to literally leave my job and go to the hospital…

I must say, since I’ve been clean and sober, I’ve had less of them, and more of the “limited symptom” attacks. I indeed urge ANYBODY who experiences them to seek psychiatric help. You don’t deserve to live in fear.

I’d like to come in contact with other individuals who suffer like I know I do. Let us beat this monster together.
*hugs*

Your not alone, nor are your worthless or weak and you did not let yourself start this all over again! I have had this for over 30 years and I too have some lulls, but then it starts all over again. I’m sick of it and have been on many meds also and it’s one of those things that unless you’ve been through it, most people don’t have a clue if you try to explain it. I’m starting a part-time job in September, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to work. I wish you well.

I developed panic disorder with severe agoraphobia when I was 17. I have had periods of non-symptoms, and then it always returns and gets bad much faster each time….I finally quit having any kind of symptoms about four years ago, nothing at all, never even thought about it, until…..3 weeks ago. I am in nursing school and worked my rear end off to get in and maintain my grades. Im terrified that as fast as I am spiraling downward that its going to effect my schooling. I have no insurance and desperately need to get back on my medication. The only combination that has ever worked for me (and I have tried many) was klonopin and celexa. I feel worthless and weak and compeltely angry with myself for letting this start all over again. I also have three children who depend on me to be strong…Im scared and sad and I dont know what to do. This article and one other that I read at least reassured me that I am not the only person who suffers with this, and also reminded me that no matter how much it feels like they will, a panic attack will not kill me or send me to an insane asylum… Now if I could just remember that when I am in the midst of an attack….Thank you.
