Long Panic Attacks

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone here have long "panic attacks"? About 4-5 times a year, during times of extreme stress, I suffer from a "panic attack" that lasts anywhere from two days to two weeks.

During that period, I constantly feel like I need to take a deep breath, but I can't. I end up trying to induce yawns so I can get that deep breath feeling, which usually causes me to get a sore throat. And I also get muscle cramps and such from constantly tensing from the yawn inducing. I can sometimes feel a bit hazy from mild hyperventilating from the whole process.

I asked a psychology professor about it and he said it was a kind of panic attack. I asked my college therapist about it and she gave me breathing exercises (that don't really help).

It is also one of those things that don't bother me until I think about it. And then I can't stop thinking about it.

Yup. I've never thought of it as a panic attack, but yeah I get that. And the more I think about it the worse it gets, so the only way I know how to deal is extreme diversions. Just constant "No. I am thinking about this." <-literally said out loud to myself sometimes.
