Thank you to everyone who replied to my post. You don't know how helpfull it is to know there are other people suffering just like me. It is so hard for me to explain myself to people who have never been through a panic attack. It seems as though none of my friends can relate to the things I tell them. Your thoughs mean the world to me. Thanks!
Hi Nicole, I understand completely how you feel. because of my anxiety I get so extremely tired, that I stay in bed for days. I no longer feel like doing anything productive. My new obsession is taking food supplements, to try and combat the depletion of vitamins and minerals to keep my strength up. I somewhat feel better if you decide to consider this just make sure they don't conflict with your meds. some supplements actually do. I know this sounds flaky but I have to believe in something or the bed would look better all the time.

My first attack was in 12/03 and it really seems impossible to go back to the way things used to be. I stress about symptoms too. Then look it up on the internet even though its the worst thing to do. I just recently found out I am pregnant. I had a miscarriage in Januaury so every little pain I have I freak out about. I was driving somewhere and I felt a small cramp in my stomach and freaked out and thought I must be having another miscarriage. It was just gas though! But ofcourse something that simple would never cross my mind. You are defintely not alone though.
Oh my gosh, Nicole! I could have wrote your post!!!!
My doctor told me this is part of obsessive disorder that usually goes hand and hand with anxity and panic. You obsess about thougts, feelings, pains, symptoms.
HEY NICOLE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME THOUGHTS SINCE I WAS 19. NOW I AM 37. IM CONSTANTLY THINKING EVERY LITTLE ACHE AND PAIN IS GOING TO LEAD TO SOME TERRIBLE DISEASE, RO DEATH. IM SO TIRED OF THINKING OF MY HEALTH ALL DAY LONG. TRY GOING TO TALK TO SOMEONE. IT HELPS ALOT. FEEL GOOD, AND REMEMBER U R NOT ALONE.
nicole,i feel your pain i am living with the same feelings everyday!i have tried almost everything to get better.i am seeing a counciler right that helps a little.i take hot baths with lavender oils that helps me sleep at night.i am thinking i might need to take meds i am going to speak with my doctor next week about that.i want to be free from this stress too.just know you arent alone. gina
I have the worst thoughs that run through my mind. Before my first panic attack wich sent me to the er I was a healthy person. But after I had my first attack it seemed like I could not get back to normal. I am constanly trying to diagnose my self with some other medical codition like cancer or heart problems. My doctors have ran 3 sets of blood work on me done a chest xray and made me wear a heart monitor for 24 hours and everything has came back fine. But I can not make my self beleive that all these things I feel are caused from anxiety. Every little ache or pain I get I run to the intenet to see what medical conditions have these symptoms. I am driving myself crazy. If anyone can talk to me or give me any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
