Anxiety....why....

[tinkerbell23]

Here goes........

I have posted many a time about anxiety/ panic attacks

Ive just had a lovely lovely weekend so im annoyed that im a bit "on edge" today.... Had a nap as im feeling really tired (that makes it worse i think) but so many times today, and anytime i have a panic attack.... Its because i think about death....

Im asleep and i jolt out of a sleep at times and into a fullblown panic about dying.

Im not ill, i know im not, and i dont panic about how ill die or when its about being dead.

Its hard to type this cos its making me feel panicy writing it as will the replies cos ill be thinking about it. !!!!!!!!!

Ive no propanolol left which i was given - need to see doc for more as they helped somewhat...i take kalms as night time is my worst time for my mind running riot on me.

Feel really daft! I deal with death as part of my job NO PROB but more and more this is coming into my mind.

Does anyonelse get this? Is it a phobia? I mentioned to doc when i told him about panic attacks but beginning to think speaking to someone is wht i need ie councelling or CBT?? ........ Can feel the heart racing just now and have had to shake the thoughts away a few times today.....

Sorry for the long post. Deep breaths!!! X

therein may lieth the problem, that you are on the chemmies already.

Tinks, in my divorce I had a virus and stress going on and the consequence of it all was a gallbladder loss (I had started losing weight as well prior to her "announcment"). My sleeping was shot too and my Doc put me on some strong sleep agent (I can't remember what but this was Stateside anyway). Taking those things was awful as they only had effect for about 4 to 5 hours and I felt like the brown stuff warmed up.

I weaned myself off them, when I woke up one night to find I had loss bladder control....

Get yourself off those drugs if you can but ask your Doc.....
