A small step forward...

[Ashlee13x]

I was just sitting at the dinner table at my boyfriends house with his family and had a bit of a tension headache. After a while, I started to feel as if I was going to have a panic attack... I felt the adrenaline rush through my body and felt a tingling in the roof of my mouth.. I quickly excused myself from the table, ran upstairs and just sat quietly by myself and did some deep breathing and calmed myself down before it turned into an actual panic attack and I feel quite proud of myself!!

Right now, I still have a bit of a tension headache and am a bit anxious that I am going to have the feelings of a panic attack again.. especially as we are supposed to be going to our friends house and don't want to have a panic attack there!! So fingers crossed!!

Also, lately i've been getting a really strange feeling in my chest. Its like just above where my boob is (sorry to sound crude) but it doesn't hurt its more of a tight, dull ache! Does anyone else get this??

Oh well done that's a really good step forwards :) be very proud of that
Yes that pain is the anxiety

That's great that you managed to calm yourself down..well done! :D

Regarding the pain in your chest, if you ever need anyone to massage the area feel free to give me a shout..http://www.pic4ever.com/images/14k8gag.gif

In all seriousness though, chest pains or the sensation of something not feeling right is a very common symptom of anxiety and lots of people here have similar symptoms. If it really bothers you though then get to your GP and get a full MOT if only to put your mind at ease.

Do you think you're over the effects of the party drug anxiety Ash?

[MiST]

I never heard of a party drug called "Ash"

Yeah I felt fine yesterday and today but maybe subconsciously I am still anxious?? I think it definitely may have triggered it though!!

Yeah, it usually settles back down in time.

It seems to have left some neurological damage in place though? You don't seem to be able to take your hand off your hip ;)

That is great! I love that feeling of accomplishment. Usually when something like that happens and I am able to calm my attack down I cancel all other plans. I put my Jammie's on and call it a day. If I keep going I will stress myself out and another one will come on.

Well done Ash. Brilliant job. I don't want you to be a prisoner at home either so keep focusing on each battle with panic that you win. Watch them accumulate. P.s. I'm very sorry about your hip condition. :)
