Panic Attacks ruining my life
Hey guys, I'm new here - just needed to find a way express my frustration with anxiety and panic attacks.
I went on a business trip back in July 2018 and I'm extremely scared of flying on planes - the whole business trip I had shortness of breath to the point that I got really scared and went to the ER. They checked me and nothing was wrong with me. Ever since that trip, I have been getting really bad panic attacks - hot flashes, heart rate spikes to around 180, shortness of breath, I feel like I'm losing control of my body.
At this point, I get one or two bad panic attacks a week and mini panic attacks/episodes of shortness of breath daily. I feel like my focus has diminished at work, all I can think about is when the next one will happen. I'm scared to be alone. Panic attacks are ruining my life and I feel like I'm stuck like this forever
Has anyone had the same thing happen to them?
