Im new here, so heres my story. Im a big strapping lad, 120kgs and 6 foot 2, so i shouldnt panic or feel anxious about anything. 7 years ago whilst i was training for a strongman event i started taking panic attacks, went to the hospital many times to get checked as i kept thinking i was gonna take a heart attack or collapse. This went on for a while and i researched it and found out i wasnt only one as lots of people suffer this. Ended up going to see a hypnotherapist once a week and over some months i got better and the attacks went away and i forgot about them.
Over the next 5 years ive competed in mma fights (cage fighting) and never had panic attacks, maybe felt nervous but nothing out the ordinary. Over the years ive had small attacks but nothing major, but in the last few months the attacks and anxiety have resurfaced. Im writting this as im having the worst day i can remember, i stopped drinking high caffine energy drinks for the last 2 days but last night i got some real good news that lifted alot of stress from my shoulders. So this morning i bought a can of it and drank it and imeadiatly i felt anxious, and its got worse all day. I went out for dinner wife my wife and my 2 kids who are the best kids ever to celebrate my good news and it should have been a good night, but all i did was sit on my phone trying to find info on my anxiety to make it go away. Usually my anxiety goes away after some time, but this has went on all day and dosent seem to be going away. My mind is always all over the place, im constantly thinking my next minute will be my last, i always think i wont be around to see my kids grow up into adults and ill be dead and theyll only be left with memories.
