Panic Attacks triggered by thinking about panic attacks.
I know, it sounds crazy. But my biggest problem with anxiety is panic attacks and most of the time, thinking about one makes me have one. It's just strange. To have anxiety about anxiety. Please share if you have the same issue/know how to handle it. Thanks!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has this, I honestly thought it was just me
Thank god! I do this and I'm so happy to hear someone else experiences it. A couple of weeks back, I had really bad anxiety, about nothing but the fact that I hadn't had a panic attack in a long time, and knew one had to be coming soon. It was really bad, and even though panic attacks suck, after I had one I actually felt better in some weird way...
This is what is happening to me.......When I am not having an episode I think about it and then it happens. This all started a week ago and I am struggling trying to understand all this. my symptoms are near fainting with hot flashes and sometimes chest pain. Very scary feeling symptoms and when I even think about it , that causes it to start all over again. I am having 3-4 short episodes a day for the last week. I am 43 male
I understand completely! I try to take really deep breaths and focus on only breathing, and listening to the yoga station on pandora. ☺
