Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
There was an event when I was 11 years old
that turned my life upside down... I felt lost closed to myself, developing gradually depression and suddenly on 16 I had the first panic attack. I was forced to quit high school because stress was eating me alive, panic attacks developed to agoraphobia and I was for years inside my room spending my time playing computer games or making music. My parents were pushing me to see a doctor... I denied any kind of help because I thought I was crazy and nobody could understand the hell I was living.
Anyway, 3 years of hell when suddenly at 18 or 19 years old I took the decision to see a doctor. Therapy sessions in combination with antidepressants helped me take my life back again. I learned a lot about myself on those sessions, I learned a lot about the human psychology. I was diagnosed with regular stress disorder/post traumatic stress disorder and and manic depression.
So I took the decision to start high school again, graduating finally, then I got into the university as a Sound Engineer since making music was always my passion and graduated with the best grades in my classroom... All these years going to school and working to random jobs at the same time.
I never managed to find a standard job as an Engineer where I live, so I continued doing shitty jobs to fulfill my personal goals.
I m 30 years old now, I have 2 dogs, a 6 years relationship, my dreams sports car but I lost my job mid covid Era.
I didn't have any regular therapy sessions last 3 years, maybe once a year, I didn't have the need to. This summer I took the decision and doctor seemed to agree and I finally stopped antidepressants, first weeks were a bit weird, but I got through them and trust me... I was so happy that I finally stopped taking drugs.

Little did I know.. I made a huge mistake, sitting home doing nothing, becoming non productive again, reading news, researching, taking measures about what is coming behind the covid agenda while everybody pushing me to take the jab.

Slowly stress was coming back, lately I m having the same horrible panic attacks when I drive away from my territory. I m taking Xanax day by day to be able to feel better... I m falling to the same old mud again and I feel ashamed of myself.

I don't wanna take antidepressants again, this is the reason I refuse to speak with my doctor.
Please, if somebody experienced this before, share some ways to fight it without taking drugs again.
I need to be strong because we are living in times we are getting heavily attacked and WE HAVE TO BE STRONG, for us, humanity and the people we love.
Thanks in advance.
God Bless you.

Having suffered through panic attacks myself I understand.

However what I don’t understand is why you don’t want to get back on your meds that prevented your panic attacks.

Is having panic attacks really better than being on meds?

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
Was on Klonopin for over 15 years for panic disorder. Most of my panic was due to money/job related fears. I was married and just had my second child when the panic hit. Losing my job and financial means to support my family scared the shit out of me.

My kids are grown now and I successfully weaned myself off of Klonopin (this was a nightmare) and have maintained for over 4 years now.

Nobody wants to go on medication, but anxiety is extremely harmful to your body. My suggestion is not to go back on meds unless you simply cannot cope. If you do go back, find out what is the true underlying cause and do your best to correct it. You must stay busy. Get another job asap.

You also need to workout daily. I started off by simply walking a couple of miles every evening after dinner and have continued this till today.

Are you self medicating with the Xanax? Benzos are the most addictive substance on the planet and are a god send at first, but coming off can kill you if you don't taper correctly. Be extremely careful, because you can end up in a much worse place than you are today.

I must stay busy. That's what the doctor said and I fully agree.
But all this situation with covid measures doesn't help at all. I have to cooperate and take 2 tests weekly paying from my own pocket, later on I ll have to cooperate and take the jab if I wanna keep my future job.

Amen.

I guess I should have also said, seek your creator and pray. Give yourself away and trust in him. This was actually the single best advice I was ever given and it helped more than anything else. I constantly pray and ask for forgiveness. I'm not perfect in any way, shape or form... but I do my best at the moment, knowing I can always do better.

Being on Ladose (same brand as Prozac) for around 10 years, I felt sometimes like my feelings were "freezed", something like an emotional block. I didn't like it at all even if it did a great job against my problem.

Kickboxing helped me a lot to get tired, be fit and healthy but unfortunately I broke some hand bones that forbid me from training again.
Does walking really helps? Sounds like a good idea.

I m only taking 0,25mg when I m not feeling good, doctor agreed its fine as long as I don't do it daily and don't take above 0,50mg. I know the dangers and trying to be careful.

Covid sucks but you have a choice. You're not trapped. Now that the SCOTUS has denied the forced mandate, most places are not requiring a vaccine, at least here in Ga. Try not to be of the defeatist mindset or you won't make it. You have to stay strong and force yourself to get up and seek that job or do that workout. It's hard, I completely understand but you have to start sometime. Please don't give up and fight like your life depends on it, because it does. Good luck.

Yes, absolutely. It allows me to have some alone time and truly think through issues. It helps me sleep too. Insomnia can be the worst and make things so much more difficult.

It's funny, I'm know as the 'guy who walks' in my neighborhood because I've been doing it so long. I've also met many good neighbors that I wouldn't have ever known if I wasn't constantly walking every night.

This isn't all I do for exercise, but it's my main staple.

You might try working on your Vagus Nerve before resuming the medication. With supply chain breakdown looming for many types of products (including pharmaceuticals), finding other ways of dealing with issues BEFORE the drug supply dissappears seems like a smart move...

As for not having anything to "do", because of covid & employment issues - if you're in relatively good health, have a green thumb, and like working outdoors - why not start your own business building gardens in busy people's yards and helping them keep them maintained. With food shortages looming too, I'm guessing there's plenty of people who still have decent paying jobs but no free time during daylight hours will be willing to pay for someone to help them establish some level of food security on their own properties.

Now is a great time to start a bunch of seedlings that can be sold as well, either to new gardens you are paid to create, or just to sell to other people on Craigslist or NextDoor type places who didn't get it in gear and start their own seeds, but along around March 1 will suddenly get that "gardening urge" and want some plant starts. Needless to say, start your own garden first if you don't have one already.

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
You still fear death that doesn't exist and fallen into half the devil lies, for your Spirit would rather die than falling into the envy and pride pit at any cost, and refrain from using God name in vain.

And why don't you blessed other yourself?. Seriously even that, you could be dragged to hell forever with just the wrong lips.

And remember the vehicles technology is pathetic today compare to Atlantean techology.

If you and I are to have a true friendship — a working friendship, and not just a friendship in theory...

That’s important. Let’s stop here and make that distinction, because that’s an important distinction. Many people think that God is their friend, but they don’t know how to use that friendship. They see it as a distant relationship, not a close one.

Many more people do not even think of Me as a friend at all. That’s the sad part of it. Many people think of Me as a parent, not a friend—and a harsh, cruel, demanding, angry parent at that. A Father who will tolerate absolutely no failure in certain areas—such as, for instance, how to worship Me.

In the minds of these people, I not only demand your worship, I demand it in a specific way. It is not enough that you come to Me. You must come to Me by a particular path. Should you come to Me by another path—any other path—I will reject your love, ignore your entreaties, and, indeed, condemn you to hell.

Even though my search for You was sincere, my intent pure, and my understandings the best I could reach?

Even though. Yes, even though. In the minds of these people, I am a stringent parent who will accept nothing less than absolute correctness in your understandings of Who I Am.

If you are not correct in the understandings at which you have arrived, I will punish you. You can be as pure in your intent as possible; you can be so filled with love for Me that you overflow. I will cast you into the fires of hell nonetheless, and you will suffer there forever if you come to Me with the wrong name on your lips, the wrong ideas in your head.

Friendship With God - Free for all online


Ten Commitments:
1. You shall love God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul. And there shall be no other God set before Me. No longer will you worship human love, or success, money, or power, nor any symbol thereof. You will set aside these things as a child sets aside toys. Not because they are unworthy, but because you have outgrown them. And, you shall know you have taken the path to God because:

2. You shall not use the name of God in vain. Nor will you call upon Me for frivolous things. You will understand the power of words, and of thoughts, and you would not think of invoking the name of God in an unGodly manner. You shall not use My name in vain because you cannot. For My name—the Great “I Am”—is never used in vain (that is, without result), nor can it ever be. And when you have found God, you shall know this. And, I shall give you these other signs as well:

3. You shall remember to keep a day for Me, and you shall call it holy. This, so that you do not long stay in your illusion, but cause yourself to remember who and what you are. And then shall you soon call every day the Sabbath, and every moment holy.

If the anti-depressants helped, why are you so against taking them? After all, much of depression is a chemical imbalance that anti-depressants can resolve. There’s a reason they’re called SSRIs — Selective SEROTONIN Reuptake Inhibitors.

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
Hello!!
I pulled myself out of extreme anxiety pretty much by accident. Meaning I didn't know I was doing it at the time.

My anxiety was caused by my doing a stupid action which caused legal and personal repercussions which lasted for years and were personally shaming and humiliating for me, let's not even mention extremely expensive, life-altering and destabilizing in every way.

I did have panic attacks but a huge part of my problem was terrible insomnia, I would wake up in a panic and not be able to get decent rest. This was ongoing for years, because the repercussions were ongoing and could have become exponentially worse at any time, not fully under my control.

First thing sound a little 'out there'. Because I had an interest in figuring out how it was that countries became fascist, I began watching documentaries about WWII in the middle of the night when I would awaken. This did a couple things: It reminded me that humans could survive horrific circumstances and that I actually had very many advantages present in my life.

And so I became grateful for those advantages, from the fact that my boots and feet were dry and I was warm to I could simply go to the pantry and prepare a meal, etc, etc., etc.... .

Before I knew it, this gratitude comprehension became a habit. The more I saw the more I saw.

Well into all this, I came upon a video by a neuroscientist who had done the imaging to map out our emotional states. He learned that feeling gratitude made the brain create a bump of serotonin, which in turn created its own dopamine.

So, without knowing it, I had retrained my brain.

So this doesn't mean that my world didn't suck at some very memorable times. But what it did do was it gave me a completely different baseline.

This has continued very wonderfully even all these years later. I consider myself one of the more grateful people I know. I see the world differently. I think I did a brain reset on myself and went through some brain training that created a happy life for myself. I know that every person can do this and the fact that you wish for a different life than you have now gives you an incentive to make that change. You can be happy. It is true that I was so miserable that for the first time I understood the concept and reality of Jesus. That is up to you and not necessary to created a happier brain.

My best to you!!!

This is a very hard time, designed to drive people nuts if you asked me. But the bad guys are losing, and just wait say six more months.

Don't take the jab, that's something that cannot be undone, and I expect jobs will less and less require the jab as its downsides and lack of upsides become more obvious and undeniable.

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
Not making a medical claim but taking a couple of Benadryl before going to sleep has helped reduce the frequency and strength of my own anxiety attacks. The added benefit is that studies have found that it helps prevent CoVid.

I think maybe it is because, breathing easier at night helps keep me my body from triggering anxiety when I may have had reduced breathing capacity- because of allergies or just laying in a position that may have cut off my breathing capacity?

Reducing or eliminating drinking beer especially or liquids a few hours before going to sleep could also help prevent a panic attack trigger when the mind tries to make me wake up to go pee…

If you get more sleep then it may make daytime anxiety attacks less frequent?

I am not out of the woods but if it helps… it helps…

Covid sucks but you have a choice. You're not trapped. Now that the SCOTUS has denied the forced mandate, most places are not requiring a vaccine, at least here in Ga.

Sometimes I m thinking of selling my property to prolong mine and my girlfriends survival against these measures.
My girlfriend also quit her job for the same reason. I wouldn't allow any harm to her... Maybe now u can feel the chaos inside my head.

Remember this time.
And the places and the names.
They have done things that are worth remembering.

At the very least.

You sound like how my life was. Take cbt, you can buy good therapy programs online and avoid all drugs since they just mask the problem and give bad side effects.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81933227


Therapy sessions I had were based on the CBT mode from my psychiatrist.
I discovered the roots of my problem, I know the reasons, the thing is sitting down doing nothing for a year somehow brought back those panic attacks without any necessary triggers.

This is what worries me the most... Is it because I don't keep my head busy being productive or is it some longterm symptom by cutting Antidepressants 6 months ago.

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
There was an event when I was 11 years old
that turned my life upside down... I felt lost closed to myself, developing gradually depression and suddenly on 16 I had the first panic attack. I was forced to quit high school because stress was eating me alive, panic attacks developed to agoraphobia and I was for years inside my room spending my time playing computer games or making music. My parents were pushing me to see a doctor... I denied any kind of help because I thought I was crazy and nobody could understand the hell I was living.
Anyway, 3 years of hell when suddenly at 18 or 19 years old I took the decision to see a doctor. Therapy sessions in combination with antidepressants helped me take my life back again. I learned a lot about myself on those sessions, I learned a lot about the human psychology. I was diagnosed with regular stress disorder/post traumatic stress disorder and and manic depression.
So I took the decision to start high school again, graduating finally, then I got into the university as a Sound Engineer since making music was always my passion and graduated with the best grades in my classroom... All these years going to school and working to random jobs at the same time.
I never managed to find a standard job as an Engineer where I live, so I continued doing shitty jobs to fulfill my personal goals.
I m 30 years old now, I have 2 dogs, a 6 years relationship, my dreams sports car but I lost my job mid covid Era.
I didn't have any regular therapy sessions last 3 years, maybe once a year, I didn't have the need to. This summer I took the decision and doctor seemed to agree and I finally stopped antidepressants, first weeks were a bit weird, but I got through them and trust me... I was so happy that I finally stopped taking drugs.

Little did I know.. I made a huge mistake, sitting home doing nothing, becoming non productive again, reading news, researching, taking measures about what is coming behind the covid agenda while everybody pushing me to take the jab.

Slowly stress was coming back, lately I m having the same horrible panic attacks when I drive away from my territory. I m taking Xanax day by day to be able to feel better... I m falling to the same old mud again and I feel ashamed of myself.

I don't wanna take antidepressants again, this is the reason I refuse to speak with my doctor.
Please, if somebody experienced this before, share some ways to fight it without taking drugs again.
I need to be strong because we are living in times we are getting heavily attacked and WE HAVE TO BE STRONG, for us, humanity and the people we love.
Thanks in advance.
God Bless you.

Yeah, I suffered panic attacks for a while. Got worse when I got covid - lasted 7 months. I had to stop taking Xanax because it was causing me to stop breathing as I slept and occasionally felt like I was having strokes.

A naturopath I ran into suggested I juice cabbage (full head) multiple times a week for my stomach issues and also my panic attacks. It worked. Now I almost never need Xanax. My stomach feels better and panic attacks are very infrequent.

Hope that helps.

Btw - you CAN'T let the cabbage juice sit after making it. It tastes horrible unless you drink directly after making it. Can't store it in the fridge. Just down it real quick after you make it.

You might try working on your Vagus Nerve before resuming the medication. With supply chain breakdown looming for many types of products (including pharmaceuticals), finding other ways of dealing with issues BEFORE the drug supply dissappears seems like a smart move...

As for not having anything to "do", because of covid & employment issues - if you're in relatively good health, have a green thumb, and like working outdoors - why not start your own business building gardens in busy people's yards and helping them keep them maintained. With food shortages looming too, I'm guessing there's plenty of people who still have decent paying jobs but no free time during daylight hours will be willing to pay for someone to help them establish some level of food security on their own properties.

Now is a great time to start a bunch of seedlings that can be sold as well, either to new gardens you are paid to create, or just to sell to other people on Craigslist or NextDoor type places who didn't get it in gear and start their own seeds, but along around March 1 will suddenly get that "gardening urge" and want some plant starts. Needless to say, start your own garden first if you don't have one already.

Very informative and helpful articles over there, wow, I ll surely study them.

Actually I own some farms where my grandfathers used to work and live from, u must be inside my head because I was planning to take advantage of it, both for living and in case of future food shortages.

Thanks. U helped a lot :)

Re: Panic attacks/A little story of me/Need help
Was on Klonopin for over 15 years for panic disorder. Most of my panic was due to money/job related fears. I was married and just had my second child when the panic hit. Losing my job and financial means to support my family scared the shit out of me.

My kids are grown now and I successfully weaned myself off of Klonopin (this was a nightmare) and have maintained for over 4 years now.

Nobody wants to go on medication, but anxiety is extremely harmful to your body. My suggestion is not to go back on meds unless you simply cannot cope. If you do go back, find out what is the true underlying cause and do your best to correct it. You must stay busy. Get another job asap.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81935891


I must stay busy. That's what the doctor said and I fully agree.
But all this situation with covid measures doesn't help at all. I have to cooperate and take 2 tests weekly paying from my own pocket, later on I ll have to cooperate and take the jab if I wanna keep my future job.
U see? I feel trapped bro. And this is what scares me the most...
 Quoting: Unknown 80840141


Covid sucks but you have a choice. You're not trapped. Now that the SCOTUS has denied the forced mandate, most places are not requiring a vaccine, at least here in Ga. Try not to be of the defeatist mindset or you won't make it. You have to stay strong and force yourself to get up and seek that job or do that workout. It's hard, I completely understand but you have to start sometime. Please don't give up and fight like your life depends on it, because it does. Good luck.

Why did you quit because of tests? I hear of many people doing that and I don't understand it.

A vax can and probably will permanently f you up.

A test doesn't hurt at all, except for maybe some funny business with the swab which is much more doubtful and anyway less serious.

Also, a mask is mainly inconvenient.

I'll bend (test, mask) but not break (vax).
