Good advice indeed.

This thread and I might become good friends...

I suffer from panic attacks now maybe once or twice a week. Last year, I would have about five a day. It caused me to leave high school and go on to home schooling.

Things have certainly improved. But I still find myself trapped in them. I have learned to try and breathe easy and just let them pass. But it is still really a challenge.

hi havent posted here or read anything here yet.

havent had a panic attack lately *yet* but feel like there is no way not to have one between now and dr appt in morning..

gonna try to distract, play games. read books, and stuff. have to work a few hours soon too so maybe that will actually help.

just feel it bubblind, boiling in my gut.. feel like there is not much a can do except wait for the panic to explode..
im scared. scared to have a bad panic attack and scared of tomorrow at dr. with the eval.
scared they might put me in hospital esp if my little sarah get stuck dealing with drs and i cant get to the front like at my last dr visit.

ugh..im sorry im rambling and i need to shut up. im sorry..just...scared, nervous ..

No one ever needs to shut up. Talking about anxieties and what causes you panic can really help.
