...See more Since yesterday I've had waves of panic attacks and it just wont stop. I guess I could say my panic attacks come from the fear of having another huge one. The symptoms of my attacks scare me so much. I used to be able to talk myself down somewhat, but since developing a new symptom I have just not had much control over them. Typically my symptoms are dizziness, racing heart, hot flashes, sweats, vision changes, and sometimes shaking. The mental symptoms are feeling like I'm going crazy, something really bad is going to happen to me, dread, and fear. My newest symptom is physical, it is the feeling like my skin is burning. I hate it because sometimes my brain wont sort out whether it is a burning sensation or if my body is cold. I am so sick of this. The last two days have been extremely unpleasant. To make things worse I have 3 kids. My youngest is just 2 months old and experiencing these attacks while she is crying (she has colic) just makes things harder. I am on medication for my attacks, but recently my doctor changed it and it's not working as well as my old one. I speak with him today for a telehealth visit so I'm planning to let him know. I just know he will refer me to a psychiatrist which sucks because it takes forever to get in to see one.

...See more I've been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for years now. It started with a panic attack due to taking benadryl. I felt so dizzy, out of it, heart racing, and just horrible. Since that first panic attack I've had many more. They're always centered around my health. I'll feel fine one minute then get thrown into a panic attach which makes me hyper focus on every little symptom. I cant stand it. I've had about 4 major ones where I actually went to the ER. Its embarrassing. My most recent was yesterday. I went to the ER primarily for neck pain. I pulled a muscle and have muscle spasms in my neck and not sure how it happened, but thanks to anxiety I assumed the worst and my anxiety symptoms just piled ontop of the neck pain making me feel like it was something bigger. I did learn that I have an infection, but they dont know where it's from or what it is. I was given antibiotics and a muscle relaxer and sent home. Now all I can think about is the mystery infection. I am 32. All of my tests and labs came back great besides the infection. Realistically I know that I'm okay, but I cant stop obsessing. I want to be normal so bad and not battle anxiety, panic attacks, depression and PTSD. It truly feels like a battle each day and I'm so tired.
