Big holiday panic

[mbabynz]

Hey there well i went on the big holiday to Fiji on the plane i had a huge PANIC ATTACK.What happened was as soon as they closed the doors i freaked thinking i cant get out i tried to breathe tried to concentrate but nothing worked all i kept thinking was I'm trapped on the plane whewwww well lucky for me i had some ativan and i took half that calmed me enough till i got to my destination.But could i enjoy my holiday noway all i could think about was i gotta get back on the plane to get home.I didn't know was i suffering from anxiety panic nerves all of it cripes i was doing my head in.well 6 days later time to go home i had a plan i took a zanax 1 hour b4 we where to fly out then when boarding call came i took an ativan.i was soooooo calm when i got on the plane as well we just brought a new camera so i had something to do while we where flying.B4 i knew it back on safe ground (i could have kissed the ground)Back home and now panic is taking over thankgoodness that i did have some meds to take or i dont know how i would have handled things.How do other people cope if they didn't know they where going to panic on a plane?I'm just going to take 1 day at a time but now im suffering more panic symptoms than anxiety or is it the other way around.(i have every symptom of panic heart racing sweaty palms feeling of not there want to run etc etc etc.I gotta beat this thing.

sounds to me like your doing all the right things, you know whats happening and what is accessable to you to get you thru...sorry you didn't enjoy your vacation much, I really wanted you to.

Keep working on the book...it took me a couple years to get it all down pat...as with all things it takes time, maybe it will happen for you sooner as you seem to be pretty determined right now!!

all the best
