Following night time panic attack "
Posted , 9 users are following.
Firstly , I would like to thank everyone who responded to my first post re night time panic attack ! Unfortunately since then , 5 days ago I have been in a unusually heightened state of anxiety , prob spend 90% of the day trying to fight the feelings of fear etc ( so scary ) , have put myself back up to 20 mg Seroxat which is helping I think , hate to imagine what I would be like without it ! Have made an appt with my GP ,but can't see me until next Tues ! Am determined not to give into these feelings though and am trying to continue " normal" life ( very hard) ,have told those closest to me who are living with me how I am feeling as very hard to pretend nothing wrong ! Just wondering if / how any of you deal with this or infact if you have suffered in this way , just feel like my nerves won't switch off and am in a permanent state of anxiety ! Very tiring ! Anyway any suggestions advice warmly welcomed , Many thanks Sarah x

I had this a few weeks ago infact it was 12th may n I was going into hospital for a simple procedure on my knee
My god I have never felt as ill in my life felt sick was sick was on edge dramatically could not settle myself down was terrible I ended up having to lye down but still felt terrible, I had to force myself to get showered n dressed n go for surgery n started to feel better once I was ready no idea why I was so bad as I wasn't bothered by any means of having the surgery it was other things revolving round n round in my head, as hard as it is n I'm a born worry so it daft fir me to tell yu try not to worry about things I'm terrible I WORRY WORRY WORRY n my family go mad I'm always what if !
No 1 knows what it's like until they have been in that position

Some1 is guiding me at the moment n I'm thankful for that x

This is one of my favorite scriptures in the bible that always helps me. Believe me it's not in your head its God that is helping you get thru this. I pray to healing over your entire body. God bless you and take care.

Thank you for posting the Bible verse. It helps a lot to be reminded that God is in control even when things look bleak and scary to us. As a Christian I tell myself I shouldn't be afraid but easier said than done. i wouldn't cope at all without God's Word and a relationship with Him. Church helps too. I am worried that the bloating and indigestion is something other than perimenopause such as cancer. I have an ultrasound this week and am extremely nervous (not functioning very well). This forum helps and posts like yours. Thanks.
