Re: Panic Attacks

[(Anonymous)]

Well.....The first time I ever experienced a panic attack I was thirteen years old. They kept happening all the way up until I was twenty two or so, and then for the most part stopped. I've only had about two or so in the last three years. This is how I experience them:

It becomes hard to breathe and I feel like someone is trying to take over my body. It literally feels like I am losing myself/my personality/etc. My heart also races.

To be honest I only think I had panic attacks, since the description of a panic attack hit all of my symptoms. So technically I'm self diagnosed, lol. They only ever happened at night for some reason.

Do you breathe through your mouth when you're experiencing one? Taking long, slow breaths through your nose is the best way to handle attacks, as breathing through your mouth makes it worse. (Something to do with oxygen/carbon intake, it's been awhile!)

That's pretty much what I feel too. My heart feels like it's going to explode, I don't feel a connection to how my body is moving even though I'm aware I'm the one moving my limbs, and I feel like I'm losing my ability to form thoughts outside of observing things. "This wall is black, you need to calm down, etc. But I can't actually think.

I tried breathing evenly through my nose but that seemed to just ramp up my terror because I became convinced I was going to pass out. Every time I feel them coming tonight I take a deep breath through my mouth, hold it for fifteen seconds and then exhale slowly and just focus on that until I feel myself numbing out again.

Thank you so much for commenting.

You're welcome, and that's pretty much what I go through, too-So I can understand how scary it is! Have you ever tried distracting yourself? Watching something or talking to someone? I've found it's sometimes easier to handle if I distract myself, because I know once the attack passes I'll still be me. (Even if at the time it feels like if I don't hold on I will be lost!)
