Anxiety ATTACK?
Im stressed out and having anxiety. husband wants to move, college is stressful, baby is experiencing night seperation, having family tention, finances are tight and to top it off i have personaly hit rock bottom.
Tonight as I lay in bed i began to try to sort things in my head but the more i tryed the worse my anixety and stress got. for a moment i thought i was having a heart attack ... pain in chest and back, hard time breathing, feeling clammy and like vomitting, slight dizzyness. So i got up and walked around for a moment then decided instead of thinking to myself and not wanting to add more stress to my husband i would blog my feelings and get it off my mind. So here i am.
has anyone experienced these symptoms??
Re: Anxiety ATTACK?
Those sound like they could be anxiety attack symptoms. Good for you for recognizing this! Although if there's a family history of heart disease and/or you're at increased risk, it wouldn't hurt to get checked out by a doctor.
It sounds like you have quite a bit on your plate. Do you have people around you for support? This is a situation in which finding a therapist would be a good idea. They can teach you ways to manage anxiety. I know you said money's tight. There may be some community resources available where you could get low-cost or maybe even no-cost counseling.
Yup. Try some deep breathing. Try not to think about the things that are causing it. I usually just let them fade on their own. I have had it to the point where I can't move and nearly black out.
Once the things causing my stress were out of my life (umm.. my ex), they went away for me. I actually never had one until after things got very bad between us.
I'm sorry you are having these panic attacks. I've had a couple, and oh my goodness it was awful. The only thing that worked for me was deep breathing and pushing the thoughts out of my mind until they faded. Then I had to distract myself with something else. Its not easy.
Do you have support? Maybe, if you are getting them on the regular, you should look into talking to a professional. No one should have to live like that. (((hugs)))
Thanks for all the replies. Ive only had the one "attack" and I have talked to my husband since then. He is trying to help more often but sometimes I feel to get the job done right I have to do it myself.
But thanks for the online support
