I'm just curious about how other people felt during and after their first or recent panic attack.
One thing that was right on the NHS site, it really does make you feel like you've been ripped away from the world. I'm not posting this for sympathy, it may sound stupid, but I'm posting it because it's late and there is no one else for me to chat to so I thought I'd join you guys here for a bit  |
..I'm sorry to hear that Jamie and so glad that your brother was there, it's the most horrible feeling I know..you said when you looked at the NHS site that you 'ticked them all'..?..so maybe you are aware already of any contributing factors, although I know that being aware of them doesn't always mean that you can control them or a panic attack happening...but if it's something that became repetitive or a problem, you could try looking into cognitive behaviour therapy as it can for some people be extremely 'preventative' for things like this and also help make you a more confident person in general....
