    Default I feel really weird.

    I feel really strange... kind of like panic attacky/faint feeling. I think it might just be a panic attack, but I have the feeling where I feel like I'm going to die, I'm really short of breath and I feel like crying. I'm home alone and I'm not feeling well and trying to decide whether or not to go to work. My roommate just left for work and she's not going to be home for another 3 hours. I have no one to talk to and I'm freaking out that I'm dying and my brain isn't getting enough oxygen and that I'm going to die because of the altitude that I'm not used to.

    I was just laying on my bed on the computer on my back and noticed all of a sudden I couldn't breathe very well, so I blew my nose, and it wasn't that. so I got up and started walking around my apartment and went out to the porch to try to breathe better and I'm still having to remind myself to breathe deeply. I feel really light headed and tingly and I don't know if it's a panic attack or what.

    Is it a panic attack??

    Yup...sounds like a panic attack to me. Just take some deep breaths and try to relax. Follow Lexi's advice...

    Maybe take a nice hot bath or try some yoga or meditation. I sometimes have panic attacks and usually I will take a deep breath, tell myself that I'm going to be okay, make myself a cup of tea, and watch a movie or something.

    And like Lexi said, even though you may feel like you're dying, you're not. Remember its mind over matter so tell yourself that you're going to be okay and relax. Everything will be fine.

    I've never had a panic attack In my house before... they only happen when I'm out in public- driving usually, sometimes at the grocery store, in big crowds. I'm having one IN my house, alone and I think that's even scarier than having one in public.

    I read that they only last 20 minutes because of the adrenaline stores only last that long, but this has been going on for almost 40 minutes now. I lit candles and I'm playing music and drinking water and i'm starting to feel a little better but the shortness of breath and chest pain and floaty dizzy feeling isn't going away. It feels better when I cry though... this is so freaking weird. I still want to go to work tonight

    Yeah that's ok. It happens sometimes The duration might be a personal thing... although 20 mins sounds like a good goal!

    And the crying could just be a quick and easy way of releasing extra... you know, 'chick stuff'. (chick stuff... Jebus. emotions??)
    So as long as you're not making your eyes all puffy, you'll be sweet!

    I've had anxiety attacks in the past (long story) but the relevant part is - watching funny stuff on tv was an ok distraction and really helped ease the worst of it? May or may not work for you? I don't know?

    But getting it to turn back is definitely the hardest part! That's for damn sure. And you're already on top of that one. So worry not my dear...

    I'm feeling better now. I have an hour before I have to decide whether or not I'm leaving for work. I'm drinking tea and trying to relax more. I don't have TV to watch funny stuff on.... the interweb is really my only source of entertainment besides my books... but i've read em all.

    bubble baths help me when i get them.

    sleep helps get rid of the after effects. because for me after having one it is so much easier to end up with another in the same day. stay home tonight if you can and sleep.

    I don't drink caffeine- i cut it out after I had the mother of all panic attacks in the middle of san francisco after smoking weed in the park and living off nothing but coffee for 72 hours.

    I calmed down, it took about an hour... but I ended up going to work!!! I made good money and I was able to completely forget about the panic attack because I put on my stripper persona. It's so weird I never get panic attacks at work...probably because I'm a different person there.

    my rescue remedy didn't work on the attack tonight.... that makes me sad. I need to get another bottle... maybe I need a stronger dose?
