+262 Having to stay up alone during a panic attack sucks, amirite?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Been there, done that. :/ I have an anxiety disorder. -_- This usually happens the night before I have a class presentation or something. It does suck. D:

I just had a bad day altogether. I busted my shoulder (bruised bone; whee), found out I'm failing a class, had a test in another class, and been horribly, frighteningly dark. I'm scared so freaking bad right now.

Sorry about your bad day, that sucks. :/ Know what ya mean though, I've had my fair share of those days. Life's a bitch. You can't let it take you down though. Dunno if it'll help you but when I get panic attacks I just listen to may favorite music and just chill.

The issue with that is, I was told to go to bed an hour. My headphones are on the other side of the room and If I get out of bed something's going to drag me down and my mom has the ears of a freaking bat, so I can't use this music either. I'd love to play songs in my head, if the screaming would stop. Fricking psychosis.

That's tough. :( Don't really know what to say other then, but try to chill as much as you can for tonight try to get your grades up, and make the best out of a shitty situation. I know that sounds dumb as hell and cheesy, but it's true. Maybe you could talk to your girlfriend tomorrow. But honestly the best thing for you to do if this is something you have to deal with a lot, it go to a doctor about it. I was reluctant to at first, but eventually I did and it made everything a hell of a lot better.

(I finally was able to pass out. Whee!) I have started seeing someone for it. But what I'm afraid of is being put on medication. I can't handle mess normally, and I've seen friends go zombie because of what's going on with them. And my psychiatrist has been talking about me seeing a medical specialist "just in case".

Glad to know you got through the night ok. :) I know what you mean about the meds though (I also have friends who have that problem, and I really hate being on medication 24/7.) I only take meds when I know I'm going to be in a really stressful situation, and that seems good enough for me. Anything else I just vent out with therapy.

Seriously, I'm freaking out. My girlfriend went to sleep already, she's three miles away, and I can't even have a full breakdown because my parents are home. Which is only making it worse.

Hey, like the first person I have anxiety, and know what this feels like. It's incredibly rough. I wish you the best know that your strong, and beautiful. Don't ever give up. <3 :)

I get those a lot. They're one of the scariest things in the world.

Panic attacks are the worst, but trying to hide it was the most stressful part for me..maybe if your parents know, it might make it less stressful? I used to have panic attacks every other night, but therapy and working out made them almost completely go away. I hope everything works out for you :)

I know how it is. I always have pressure on me to be the best. I'm basically trained to have a panic attack if I have an 88% in a class. My parents yell at me when I have a panic attack. They don't believe my doctor that I have anxiety so they refuse to put me in therapy. It isn't fun. And I totally chickened out of the opportunity to join the support group at my school. If you have an opportunity like that, jump at it! I will definitely be doing that next year if budget cuts allow for it.
