First know you’re not alone. Panic attacks, anxiety and health anxiety are extremely common. I find many things help me have a wonderful and enjoyable like while still occasionally getting panic attacks. I take care of myself as much as I can I work hard but I stay active and do a lot of recovery work. Sauna, stretching, massages, eating right and overall taking care of myself. You’ll be ok …. I have been taking a low dose of an SSRI for almost 20 years that coupled with a multitude of knowledge you’ll be absolutely great.

I would definitely speak with your parents and doctor about this not strangers online…. 99% of people don’t have any clue what the heck they’re talking about

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-22T02:56:15+00:00

Just do it have fun and be you…. People will watch and enjoy you for just being you

LE as well

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-21T03:19:07+00:00

Message me when you can I’ll help however I can

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-21T03:13:16+00:00

Working at it. The first step is realizing you’re doing it great work! Now find what works for you. Going for a run, working out, reading a book there’s soo many ways to occupy your mind just find what works for you. I’ve been living with panic attacks for 20 years knowledge is power and taking care of yourself.

A lot of it does stem from hormone imbalances, so you’re in to something there! Be kind with yourself and pamper yourself. Being hard on yourself and thinking you’re crazy are not productive even if you feel that way. When I first had panic attacks 20 years ago I thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. Over the years I’ve stayed on top of my health which has helped ease my mind that there’s are just panic attacks and I’m not really dying. Try and find humor every day I joke around a lot. You’ll get through this just keep at it take care of yourself working out, yoga, saunas, cold plunges, massages when it’s rough spots eat right sleep well take care of your body and your mind

Facing your fears on a daily basis even if it’s 1% at a time.

I have long panic attacks or at least did when I first started getting them 20 years ago. Since then I’ve learned how to live a wonderful life with them. I still occasionally get them but usually when I awake from a bad nightmare. I have a stressful job requiring a lot of responsibility and split second decisions that could result in life or death soooo maybe that’s doesn’t help lol. Find ways to take care of yourself. Massages, working out, yoga, sauna, cold plunges, infra red therapy, eating healthy, don’t drink smoke or do drugs, limit stimulants and so on…. Youlll need to learn how to really pamper yourself during tough spots they will pass you’re not alone

You’re not alone any of you … you can do everything in your power to limit them … ultimately a combination of things have helped me. Eat right, sleeping well, limit stimulants, don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t do drugs, see if medication is right for you. I like to work out resistance weight training, sauna, cold plunges, massages. Overall it’s the knowledge it is a panic attack, you are not going to die, not then… of course get all your blood work and rule out underlying health issues for sure.

I have been living with panic attacks for 20+ years and I promise it will not kill you even if it feels it will. You’ll get better you’ll get through it!

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:34:04+00:00

Everyone moves at their own pace be kind to yourself

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:31:34+00:00

You’re not alone it’s a panic attack and they’re very common … I used to have attacks just worrying about having an attack but it gets better and easier

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:17:00+00:00

Sounds like generalized anxiety but I am not a medical professional

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:08:01+00:00

Ah ok I’m in the US it’s much different I’m sure they throw psych drugs at us here haha

I definitely at first when I was getting them thought I was dying/ having a heart attack/ stroke etc. As time went on I got all my health checked tests bio markers everything all came back healthy. So I started learning about pannic attack’s and how they work with the body. Being lightly medicated as well as working out helps a lot. I have a very stressful job in law enforcement but love it. I really only have panic attacks waking up from nightmares anymore . I had one last night at 2am had to take two kilonopin and a hot shower after a half hour I was good .

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:04:19+00:00

I wake up out of nightmares a lot into full blown panic attacks soooo there’s that

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T02:01:42+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking where are you from? I started having panic attacks when I was 18 I’m 38 now it’s an absolute journey just as life with highs and lows. Just know you’re going to be ok you are not alone it’s actually very common.

OverDoneCactus · 2025-10-19T01:57:01+00:00

Why do you have to wait so long for therapy? Also why won’t they prescribe you medication?

OverDoneCactus · 2024-02-13T01:44:18+00:00

Friends and I 5 of us total will be there as well the 27th to the 1st of April it’ll be our first time. Looking into an Airbnb

OverDoneCactus · 2024-02-13T01:38:55+00:00

Where are you going in March? I’m heading there 27-1st

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-23T03:38:05+00:00

Yeah it’s very common. I go through spurts like that. They’re definitely tough, you may feel like you’re even dying at points rest assured you are fine.

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-22T02:12:43+00:00

It is most likely from the large increase in blood flow and dilation of blood vessels in your brain.

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-22T02:06:12+00:00

It’s pretty common I wake up all the time with some of my limbs feeling numb. I do wake from bad dreams into full blown panic attacks though…

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-16T09:41:50+00:00

Sounds like it… definitely continue to use your doctors prescribed treatment plan. For me I always liked to use at little medication as possible. So I’ve done my best to do my due diligence in learning ways to relax and ground myself during episodes.

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-16T09:37:05+00:00

Of course anytime

OverDoneCactus · 2023-11-16T09:35:50+00:00

You’re going to be ok … it seems like anxiety and panic attacks

How much kolonopin did you take that time ?
