Here I go again. Panic
« on: February 07, 2010, 05:15:30 PM »
All of a sudden my heart was pounding so fast I could feel it in my neck. I got the tingly feeling/panic sensation etc. I took a xanax and am now just waiting trying to calm down.
It's hard to tell myself this is just anxiety and I will be OK. I really don't want to call 911. I'm just sitting here with my sweet boys who have no idea I feel like I'm dying.
My dental appt. Fri. really set my anxiety off along with multiple physical symptoms all weekend....

i know for myself that once i get into a high anxiety mode it takes days for me to get myself together again. just try to remember that anxiety does all kinds of nasty things to our bodies and mind. heart pounding is one of many. and for myself that and palps are the hardest to get over. snuggle with your boys, watch a movie with them and just zone out for a while. that always seem to work for me. feel better soon.

Thanks for replying. I thought it might make me feel better to "write" out my feelings instead of walking all through the house getting myself more worked up.

Hi mom,

You've identified the trigger and you know what this is.  You are not dying, you will come out of this fine just like you have all the other times before.  Give the Xanax time to work and let your boys distract you.  I know it is SO HARD to be living in hell when these things hit and have to cover it up for the sake of your kids.  YOU WILL BE OKAY!

Are you feeling better since your original post?
