| Well, it seems that I have some sort of Panic Attack Disorder.... Which really sucks, I'm a pretty chill guy, but I guess I let stress get the best of me. I've been having panic attacks increasingly for the past few years, but I never really thought anything of them until my last real big one which was the most terrifying thing that's ever happened in my life. I was sitting playing halo, when all of a sudden I completely lost touch with reality... I didn't feel like I was me, and then my heart started pounding in my chest, and it got faster and faster till it was goin the speed of the average grindcore song, then I sat down and my arms and legs started shakin and it felt like seconds later an ambulance was checkin me out and I was at the hospital... I can't really focus right now since I'm still in a heightened sense of reality, but if you've experienced something like this, share your stories, |

Yea have similar feelings.... back in high school... my mom would drive me to school... and she drives slower than anyone's grandmother here. I always thought I would be late for school. We would always get there.... painfully exactly on time... even though I knew I was going to make it before the bel. Even though I know my teacher was extremely relax about punctuality, I would have chest pains, my stomach would rumble, my head would throb.
I've always had an issue with time. it seems like I never have enough time at the same time I think I have all the time in the world....its a strange paradox but its the catalyst to my physical symtoms.
maybe its nothing. |

| Art_Is_Resistance what did the doctors say after your hospital stay? They didnt find anything wrong with you? Hopefully. Back in July I was in Spain with my friends and all of a sudden I started to feel REALLY DIZZY and my heart was RACING! and ever since i've been back i seem to get these attacks here n there and all the doctors say my heart is in perfect health, took an EKG/stress test, blood tests all okay...so i know how scary n frustrating that shit is man. Lemme know what your doctors told you |

| I get panic attacks all the time I'm used to it. I'm just a bundle of disorders, so they're giving me alprazolam for it (mostly known as Xanax). Haven't started it yet, but I'm kind of afraid to. There's nothing spectacular about my attacks, just dizzy spells (mostly just blurred vision), migraines, palpitations, sweating, etc. Everything else is fine with me though, there's no physical cause that they can see. It sucks, though. |

| Damn well everyone just stay strong, I just HATE any kind of meds, Ive taken paxil before like 5 years ago and i felt weird and not myself at all, so fuck that. The thing is im not usually a nervous person and i dont panic over things. This kinda just came outta nowhere, but ive been through some personal tragedies over the last 6 years and ive dealt with it well, i guess maybe i just buried too much shit and now its like attack of the panic zombies in my body...fuck it, stay strong guys !!! keep this thread going, maybe venting a lil will be therapeutic for us |

Know exactly what you mean....used to be addicted to halo....like 6 hours a day, staying up all night, and waking up to play.
I lost touch with reality too, a couple times actually, while playing.....but that was out of rage, frustration, and greed....probably sounds retarted to the people who've never played, but it stressed me out more than anything else I did.
But the only panic attacks I've ever had was when I got really high (and sometimes drunk at the same time) and my heart started to throb really fast and I thought I might pass out or wake up dead. That's why I stopped halo, smoking, and drinking.....and I haven't had one since. |

I began getting panic attacks just before i turned 18, roughly 6 years ago now. At first they we're mild and managable, but gradually would get worse and worse to the point where i felt like, and it sounds silly for those whom have'nt had them, like i was gonna collapse and die, so to speak. It was one of many symptons i was having so i Went to my local doctor whom diagnosed me with Major Anxiety and depression.
It was pretty tough to take on for me, esp. at that age, i mean i didn't even know what all that meant, let alone how to deal with it. Everyone has thier own ways of coping, and each individual is different, but i do know for one, that talking about it helps a lot, wether that be with a doctor, teacher, parent, or friend, having someone there to talk through what your feeling helps. It stops the build up, well helps prevent it at least, of more unwanted stress and anxiety that only makes the issue itself worse.
I've been on medication for four years now, and overall, have been able to cope with the illness to the point where i don't think about it, nor worry about it. It's still there, yes, but i can control it, to a degree.
Eitherway, working out what the best avenue to take for you is important, wether that be therepy, to medication, it's really up to you and how you feel. Best of luck my friend. |
