On holidays I sometimes feel worse. I don't know why that is. I feel better today. BF

Perhaps coz we are back to our routine and dont have time to think in our fears, our frustrations... etc...

Hi Pam,
I am glad that today was a better day.
When I have an attack like that I have to remember to breath from the low tummy below the diagphram not from the chest. If I pant or try to get a breath I just can't. I litereally have to think outload, bread through my nose, slow down my breathing and it take it from the belly button. It takes a moment or so, but If I can get a focus it is so much better. Then I want a good cry for what I have gone through.

I hope that does not happen again

I think your description of what you have to do is a good one.

I know that when I have a asthma attack its for me a lot like a panic attack.
I really have to stop myself from panicking and breath. And if I can't get it under control it bothers me even more.

I used to hyperventilate at times when I got so upset I'd cry hysterically.
And just couldn't catch my breath. I've learned through that to really stop and think about my crying. And to try and take deep breaths.

But a real panick attack, I think my closest is when I have a mouse or
snake close to me. It really scares me to a panick and I can't function.

Seizures in Derrick used to be really bad, now they are very second hand.
But when they are over I get very upset and worried.

I once had a panic attack while sleeping. My pdoc had prescribed me wellbutrin and it was severely interfering with my sleep. I would lie in bed and be half awake/half asleep for hours to the point where I felt I was hallucinating, and there was one night when I felt like I couldn't get out of my 'sleep' haze and I had a panic attack, I was litterally frozen in bed and I couldn't move, it was like I was outside my body watching myself unable to move lying in bed.

I'm not on the wellbutrin because of this event I couldn't stand my panic/anxiety invading me sleep, it was every where else I wanted my bed to feel safe not like I would need to be cautious about getting into bed wondering what would happen.

Hey meg !!!

That happen to me quite often !!!! "Funny" state..... And Im not taking anything....

Nasty.
