Archive for the ‘end panic now’ Category

So this story is a little long and detailed, but I need to say everything in order for me to get the best possible answer. It all started a year ago. Nothing dramatically changed in my life. Just little by little I started feeling like a zombie. I would drive to work and be at work all day and feel like Im not even there. Almost as if Im in the back of my mind looking at myself doing work without having any control. Then I started to feel out of it. Day by day life would just pass by and I felt like I was just a tiny spec in the world. I started to always feel lightheaded and dizzy. I looked up my symptoms and it all came up to me having panic disorder or depression, but I had never had a panic attack then.

Then one day on the way home I had my first panic attack. Lightheaded, dizzy, heart racing, intense fear, almost felt like i was dying, all the symptoms of a panic attack. Went to the hospital and did all the tests, heart was fine, blood was fine, brain scans were fine. I constantly had panic attacks over and over until I was prescribed paxil. I take it once a day now and have been for about 6 months. No more panic attacks.

Im going to skip ahead to the end now because everything in between was just me getting adjusted to the meds and so on. I started to have extreme trouble sleeping, cant fall asleep cant stay asleep. Even if i sleep 12 hours i feel as if i got none whatsoever. Then I started to have these intense nightmares. Im either dying or being chased and things like that. This also affected my sleep because i wouldnt even want to try and sleep because of the fear that i get from the dreams. So i started getting better sleep but this is where the story gets weird. I am a fairly religious person. I pray and do all that good stuff. but im not completely sold onto ghost stories and stuff like that until now. I have never before felt like someone was following me ever. Never really been paranoid until recently. Im starting to here whispers alot now. Not complete sentences but just whispers. I also see things out of the corner of my eye, but when i look there isnt anything there. I feel like something is always following me. Almost as if a ghost or demon. And im starting to think that maybe i am possesed, because like i said before i felt like i was trapped in my brain and my body is doing everything on its own. Sometimes i feel like something is behind me, to where im scared to turn around and see some kind of demon creature standing there,i also see faces when i close my eyes, creepy demon lookin ones, ive seen faces also with my eyes open, Naturally i did the thing tht everyone else would do, i googled information about this. Turns out there are things where ppl are possesed and stuff like this happens, I have this extreme fear of encountering some kind of demon, idk what i would do if tht ever happened, im not that bad of a person to where i think i should be punished from God but who knows. If anyone knows anything about this please help me. I dont like telling my story on the internet but i have no where else to go, my psychiatrist assures me its all in my head, but if there is any other answer out there please leave a comment. No douchebag comments please i assure you i am dead serious right now, also if you have any idea on why i dont feel connected to the world? feel like im trapped in my head and stuff like that, please leave a comment i would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.

This will sound like a joke answer, but I’m serious: you need professional help. What you are describing are symptoms of extreme anxiety, panic attack, agoraphobia, perhaps even paranoid schizophrenia. I don’t mean to scare you, but this is something you shouldn’t try to deal with on your own. I’m not a doctor, but I have had the need in the past for help with problems and I know it can seem hopeless. If you don’t feel like your psychiatrist is helping you, TELL THEM … or get someone else. These symptoms can be controlled with meds and if you’re not getting what you need, then find someone who can help you.There is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed. You’re not crazy, you’re not possessed. Talk to someone. Good luck.

I have had severe anxiety since I was in first grade. I went over to my new girlfriend’s house tonight. And by the time I got there, my anxiety had just built up, even though I had taken my Ativan (heavy duty anti-anxiety med).

I had barely gotten into the house when I started to just puke. I am terrified of throwing up. As a child, I would throw up alot due to anxiety, and my parents would punish me for it. So this whole ordeal has really taken alot out of me tonight. I am taking the day off work tomorrow, so I can go see my counselor, and just reset. I feel so blank now. I don’t know why?

Am I just exhausted from all of this? The last time I had a panic attack this bad, I ended up in the hospital. My girlfriend was really supportive and really took care of me, which I told her while I was puking, thank you. That she was being sensitive, and I have never gotten that before. So this leads me to my second question. We’ve only been dating for a few weeks. Did our relationship really just get messed up from my mental break down? How do I handle this?

Thanks for reading all of this, and for the advice in advance.
I am really shy and sometimes in social situations, I just don’t cope well. Also, it is really hot here, and her ac hasn’t gotten fixed yet, so I knew it was going to be hot going into it. The heat sets off panic even if I am feeling fine.

But that is a good question, I will really have to think about, "Why?"
I appreciate the prayers. She wanted me to call her once I got home, but I was still freaked, and like ready to cry.

I think because a panic attack takes so much out of ~ mentally and physically ~ you are feeling totally exhausted ~ you really need to rest a while if you can ~ Just take things one step at a time with your relationship ~ would a small hand held fan help with the heat ~ Take care and look after yourself ~

I left all my revision for loads of topics to the last minute, I don’t need nagging to revise earlier but i’m panicking now (these aren’t my GCSES or anything just end of year tests) but i still want to do ok, what’s the best way of doing last minute revision so it Sticks in your head?

get your toaster.
remove outer plastic or metal.
wire it up to a spatula.
set your toaster for two minutes.
Hold on tight.
you are now back two weeks ago.
Start your revision

Good Luck and i hope it works

i have agoraphobia, and if you dont know what that means, your not going to be much help. now if you do, can you tell me if what i was expericencing was a panic attack?
i was in class, sitting in a desk, and suddenly i felt really afraid, like i couldnt escape. i started sweating, it was hard to breathe, i couldnt focus, there was a shiver down my spine.
i wanted to go to the nurse but i thought i was fine since it ended after a few minutes. was this a panic attack? should i see a psychiatrist?

Sounds more like an anxiety attack. They’re different. Panic attacks are more intense, and sudden.

As for the agoraphobia, I don’t know. It’s always best to seek professional help if you think you could benefit from it.

Wouldn’t you rather learn how to deal with minor dog health problems BEFORE they become major ones?  I know I would, because let’s face it, dogs are part of your family, and no one wants to see a part of your family get sick or even die.

Even if you’ve got the most easy-care dog in the world, she’ll still need some attention to be paid to her appearance every once in a while – so it’s worth spending a bit of time learning the best techniques for easy, stress-free grooming.

Here is some of the valuable advice I got from one of my favorite sites for dog health care solutions, The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health.

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER GROOMING MY DOG?

Not so long ago, the average American’s approach to canine grooming was somewhat cavalier. Dogs were seen as something that lived in the yard (usually in a dusty, hard-floored kennel), ate whatever was put in their bowls, and existed as a sometime-playmate for the household’s children.

Today, we tend to care for our dogs a lot more, and view them more as members of the household than the Thing in the Yard.

Ever since this rise in the estimation of our beloved pooches became widespread, grooming has been increasingly recognized as an important facet of your dog’s regular health-care. It ensures that any skin-care problems are minimized (because grooming distributes the natural skin-oils evenly throughout the coat), and assists you in monitoring your dog’s overall condition – if you groom on a regular basis, you can’t help but notice the presence of any unusual lumps or bumps.

This preventative action has saved many a canine life. Our dogs can’t tell us where it hurts, but taking just a little bit of time every so often to check them over ourselves can save a lot of grief in the long run.

The trick is getting your dog to tolerate (and even enjoy!) the process …

THE FIRST STEP IN THE GROOMING PROCESS

Something that many owners lack experience in is how to wash their dogs. Dry-grooming (brushing and ‘buffing’ the coat) seems to present little problem for most people; the rot tends to set in when water is introduced to the mix.

Most dogs have a strong dislike of being bathed, and in many cases will become utterly panic-stricken when the tub comes out.

This article is going to deal with the basics of how to wash your dog in a way that’ll keep both of you relaxed and happy.

PREPARING YOUR DOG FOR GROOMING

First of all, the absolute most important thing you can do is to accustom your dog to the grooming process. Now, starting this in puppyhood is the ideal way to handle the situation, but of course not all of us have this luxury; if you’ve got an adult dog, you’ll probably need to move a little slower, but you should still start getting her used to being touched and handled all over as soon as you can.

As your puppy or dog gets used to the sensation of being rubbed and handled, she’ll slowly come to enjoy it. Dogs are social creatures by instinct, and physical affection and contact is a big part of their lives – it shouldn’t take long before she begins to trust you, and allows herself to get some pleasure out of your touch.

All you have to do is start rubbing her slowly all over. Fondle her ears, touch her cheeks and neck, rub her back and belly, pick up her paws and – if she’ll let you – give each one a gentle squeeze (treating and praising her whenever she lets you do this, since paw touching is generally a pretty big deal for most dogs). If she has a tail, rub it between your fingers; get her to roll over on her back so you can rub and stroke her belly and hocks.

This might not seem like such a big deal, but it’s actually a really important part of the grooming process: the more your dog enjoys it, the less stressful the whole event will be for both of you, and so the more often you’re likely to groom her – which increases the health benefits for her.

HOW TO WASH YOUR DOG

Bathing always comes before dry-grooming, since it makes brushing and trimming a lot easier as well as a lot more effective (there’s not much point in brushing a tangled, dirty coat!)

You will need some basic tools: a tub, a non-slip mat, a plastic jug, some warm water, a small sponge, and some canine shampoo (not human shampoo: the pH is all wrong for dogs, and will give her dry and flaky skin.)

Stand her in the tub, on the non-slip mat. If she’s a large or unruly dog, you may want to wash her outside to minimize mess – either that, or you can restrain her by tying one end of a light nylon leash to her collar, and the other end to the faucet.

Pour jugs of warm water all over her until she’s good and wet. This breaks down the grease in her fur, and ensures a thorough shampooing.

Mix a little shampoo with another jug of warm water, and rub it thoroughly into your dog’s fur. Start off with her back and rub it into a good lather (but don’t be too harsh!)

Now you can move on to her head and face. Be very careful here – dogs’ eyes are sensitive too, and if you get any water in her ears, she’ll probably get an ear infection. (You can plug her ears with a small twist of cotton wool to help stop this from happening, if you like.)

Remember to clean under her tail before you wash her off – dip the sponge into the shampoo mixture to do this properly.

Now it’s time to rinse: using the jug and some clean, warm, shampoo-free water, carefully tip it all over her and use your fingers to help disperse the lather from her coat. Rinse her off thoroughly at least twice, since any residue that remains will irritate her skin.

Now you’ll need to dry her off: if she’s got short fur, you can use a towel (an old one will do just fine, although big dogs generally need two); for dogs with longer fur, give her a gentle toweling-off first, and then use a hair dryer to get rid of the last dampness. Be certain that it’s set on low heat, and hold it far away from your dog’s fur to prevent burning either the skin or the fur.

KEEP YOURSELF CALM

Remember that most dogs have an inherent dislike of being bathed, which can cause anxiety and even outright panic.

Your dog takes a lot of her emotional cues from you, so make sure you act like a good role model for the occasion. Reassure your dog frequently, keeping your voice well-modulated, low, and even; keep your movements slow and deliberate; praise her lavishly for good behavior, and give her a couple of treats throughout the process to make it more enjoyable for her.

The more she enjoys the process, the easier it’ll be for you!

GE, Disney, Hewlett Packard and Microsoft. Economic powerhouses in todays world. But were you aware that all 4 were started during slumps in the economy, when ingenuity and knowledge were needed to make money during dark times.

- GE during the ‘Panic of 1873′
- Disney during the 1923-34 recession
- Hewlett Packard during the Great Depression (1929-33)
- Microsoft during the 1975 recession

This little list made me think of the first lines of a little poem that I learned when I was a kid: “Two men looked out from prison bars / The one saw mud, the other stars!” It is so easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom that currently surround the economy and then forgetting that times of economic downturn also bring unprecedented opportunities with them. One of the main reasons for this is that companies are often more willing, for the sake of survival, to move beyond ‘business as usual’ and explore new ideas. This means that the companies, like those listed above, that are able to bring innovative ideas to the table are best placed to survive and thrive during tough economic times.

What is the implication of this for those looking to earn extra money from home? How can you make money through innovation in todays economic climate? For starters, simply deciding to earn money from home does not count as innovation! Lots of people are trying to do just that and end up doing boring and repetitive ‘grunt work’ for very little reward! Instead the key is to do something that will give you the opportunity to use your specific experience, skills and knowledge to your own advantage. The best way to do this is to tap into the so called ‘Knowledge Economy’ by selling your knowledge.

Think about it for a moment: There are countless people searching for information all the time on new ways of doing things. Their needs could be as simple as a new recipe to help them increase restaurant takings, or something as complex as an industrial process that will increase efficiency and productivity…and you may have that information floating around in your head or sitting on your hard drive! Connecting what you know with those who need to know it could therefore be one of the smartest possible things to do in the current circumstances. “But how is this possible?” you may ask. The answer is simple: Use the internet! The internet has opened a door to anyone else in the world. It’s now possible to accurately and quickly provide people with limitless knowledge. This can be done through putting what you know in a suitable format (e.g. a document, video, presentation etc.) and making it available online. It’s probably worth investigating how you can make this work, after all ‘nothing ventured - nothing gained’:

- It may be that you can use the knowledge gained from practising a certain hobby to earn a bit of extra money by sharing some of your best ‘tips and tricks’.
- You have an entire lifetime of experience, which could make you a permanent income.

Selling your knowledge will not only be a highly beneficial home working opportunity for you personally, it can also help other people to find new and innovative ways to prosper through the current difficult times: A classic win-win scenario. It also beats stuffing envelopes hands down!

My challenge to you is not to be sucked up by all the negativity everywhere you look, but to take up the challenge to change your life by benefitting from what you know. If you do, you will very soon see that the old saying had it wrong all along and that “It is not who you know, it is indeed what you know!”

when the panic attack is over, you feel so much relief and wonder why you felt so panicky.

but when I’m in the middle of a panic attack, it seems like no matter how hard I try I can’t recall those feelings of happiness, it just feels like I’m frozen in time.

That is just what a panic attack does. You are extremely panicked for the duration of the attack. I even know I’m being irrational when I’m having a panic attack, but that doesn’t make me feel any safer.

I do not feel relief after a panic attack, though. It takes me forever to wind down and I am still very anxious and worried. I guess I’m happy to be alive, but I just hate myself for being so irrational. I almost feel like it is a weakness, even though I know it is a medical issue.

I’ve never experienced a worse feeling than during my panic attacks. And no matter how many I have them, I can’t imagine I will ever get used to them. Panic attacks just suck.
