I was doing WELL!! Not overly great, BUT WELL! Last night I was feeling okay, abit sniffly but I assumed it was from the massage bringing out my toxins but it got worse a headache body aching my eyes felt they would explode.. But I tryed relaxing.. Then out of nowhere complete panic I tryed calming down.. But out of no where I screamed for my mum and I told her I'm having a panic attack.. She just sat with me and asked me to relax and tell her about my thought processes before I panicked.. I told her.. Nothing too exciting I was just thinking of turning the porch light off because it was upsetting my headache then I tryed to relax and boom. After I calmed down I remembered thinking while panicking the oil the massage lady used on me was all I could smell and it tingled all over me and the rescue remedy for panic attacks I sprayed in my mouth 20 mins before my attack was all I could taste, I thought maybe it was the change of aromas that sent me into panic? Not sure but I feel asleep after some more panic but nothing to over the top to wake at 4am with full blown attack! I couldn't breath, dizzy all the lovely symptoms.. I had to get up and make myself a glass of warm milk and message my partner until I calmed down then went back to bed. I woke this morning feeling horrible! Sick and panicked.. I now have to go to work shortly and a good friend of mine is having a BBQ for her birthday tonight and she really wants me to be there.. It will be the first time seeing anyone other than family since my big panic attack almost 2 weeks ago... I'm afraid but feel I have to push myself or I won't get better.. Can someone please help, she'd some light... Help me manage this! I don't want to live like this anymore!!!!

Hey AG,

What meds do you have to help with this?..If you have no medications, do you have any anti-histamines available?

Yes, valium would get you calm enough to go and enjoy this night and remove the feelings that your friend is counting on you to be there. Sounds like a great plan to me!
