Sever Panic Disorder....

Tink1o5 · Jan 24th, 2010, 23:08 PM

Well i have sever panic disorder, and my OH works night so it is REALLY bad when i am home alone.

It seems like lately i am constantly having a panic attack. Thinking something is wrong.. or that im going to die. I hate this so much!!!!! Why cant i be normal?

I dont want to use medication to fix my panic disorder, there has to be another way...

Anybody have any ideas?????? ANYONE ??? I just want to relax and be happy for once in my life

i feel i could almost have written that myself

my husband has just changed to day shift cause i get worse at night and knew i couldn't have baby on my own at night.

maybe you could discuss it with your midwife and she could refer you to a counsellor. it won't make everything ok but i've been seeing mine since alex died and it does help. do you know what it is that makes you panic or is it just everything?

i really am thinking of you

Well i just panic out of everything. But it started back when i found my dad (gone) when i was 16 .. by gone i mean passed away. Which was in Feb 2006... since then .. i found out my Mom (whom i never new, and was never in my life) passed away in Sept 2008, and my disabled brother passed away Feb 2009, and i had a MC Feb 2009.....

Aww you poor poor girl

i found my son dead and its the worst pain in the world. its not exactly the same but i'm sure the flashbacks and what if's are the same. have you ever been given any support of any kind? seems you have had more go on in a few years than a lot of people have in their lives and its ok to need help

I'm not very good with words but you can message me any time if i can help. can you talk to your OH about things before he leaves for work to clear your head a little and you might find you can sleep? i leave music on all night I find that helps

i actually have to sleep with the t.v on since all this. and my OH is great he talks everything over with me, and reassures me everything is fine. But i still find myself panicking and thinking im going to die or something... its horrible...

i could have wrote this to! mine started after m ydad died i have awful flash backs from what i saw\! sleep with the telly on and dont often go out on my own unless its really really nessercary! for me councilling makes it worse as it drags it up for a hour a week then im left to cope with the next few days beening awful!

im useing natal hypnotherapy cds at the mo at night there helping me sleep and i seem to get a few nights when i dont convinece my self that there is something seriously wrong with me or my baby!

i also wo nt take tablets so use rescue remdey as its natural but i can really understand what your both going through its awful! x

to you all

I feel your pain, you wont die hun nothing bad will happen to you its just feeling and your mind playing tricks on you, trust me im speaking from experience 8 years with panic attacks and im still here and nothing bad as happened to me.

You need to speak to your doctor and ask him to refer you to a phyciatric nurse who can help you through something called cognitive behavioural therapy (cbt) its hard work but does work, you can and will get better

Pm me anytime if you need to talk
