panic

Hi, I’m Phoenix. I’ve been dealing with a crippling panic attack disorder for years now, centered around hypochondria. Recently it’s stemmed into some really dark thoughts and is putting me in a really dark place. I got recommended to be here by a Crisis Line. Just looking for any help and above whatsoever as i’m really struggling.
I’m on medication, ativan as needed and Lexapro daily. I recently upped my Lexapro dosage from 10mg to 20mg as well, if that info helps at all. #panic #PanicAttacks #PanicAttack #Hypochondria #IfYouFeelHopeless #MentalHealth #Anxiety

Hello! New to the group. I have Panic Disorder that has been under control for 8 years until 3 months ago. I also have an auto immune chronic illness. Does anyone else deal with panic disorder and what meds have helped you. Many thanks!#panic disorder

I once went to a baseball game with a community group I go to, called “ bridge the gap “ a group for teens and young adults with autism.

At that baseball game, our lives were on the line. Because we were sitting in the front row and there was no net, absolutely no net, and we had t be aware of all the foul balls coming at us, otherwise, we could’ve gotten hurt, or even killed.

The whole time I was watching this baseball game, I actually, legitly, 10000% thought I was going to die.

But strange thing is, life didn’t flash before my eyes, strange to me, because they say when you’re about to die, your life flashes before right before your eyes, heck, that’s one of the things I think about when I see character die on tv.

And I really did not want a baseball game to be the day that I die, I wanna die because I’m growing old.

I’ve been trying deep breathing for non-stop chest tightness the past 2 weeks severe anxiety that I haven’t felt for such a long period and bodily sensations before, but I got more panicky when I tried breathing techniques and nothing would help how it usually would, I think ironically at the moment just not doing it at all might be helping more. Instead of being frustrated and panicked feeling hopeless it’s not working. #Breathing #panic #hopeless #body #symptoms #shortnessofbreath #chesttightness #ChestPain #past2weeks

I don’t have OCD personally but I have Anxiety GAD and I came across this while trying to find why I’m super anxious than normal and obsessed with my breath. I will feel so dump and weak like I can’t control it and it’s taking over my day and making me feel miserable like I can’t take a deep breath in and then I panic and it cycles and I’m constantly monitoring my breath where it doesn’t go automatic like it should :( please help sometimes even after meditation or deep breathing I still don’t feel good. #Anxiety #OCD #help #panic #AnxietyAttacks #PanicAttacks #anxious #sad #Upset #miserable #frustrated #dumb

Had medical and financial stuff to do and needed more than a two day weekend to do it. And needed a weekday to make phone calls during busines hours.
So still worried about things medical,health, financial and future planning.
But i got some sleep. Yay me.

Heart thumping,
Heat rising,
Palms sweaty,
Words frozen.

Chest tightens,
Breaths shorten,
Light headed,
Hands tingle.

Pressure building,
Ears buzzing,
Tears falling,
Panic risen.
