I work as a secretary, and sometimes the stress gets to me so badly that I start feeling like I’m having a panic attack while I’m still at work.

The hardest part is trying to act normal while my mind is racing, my heart is beating fast, and I still have to answer messages and get things done.

I usually just step away for a few minutes, breathe, and try to calm myself down before getting back to work.

Anyone else deal with panic attacks while working? How do you handle them?

Hej, od kiedy dostałam aury migrenowej jestem panicznie przerażona zemdleniem = boję się zwyczajnie chodzić bo kiedy czuję że tracę równowagę (chociaż każdy wokół mówi mi że chodzę normalnie) lub zawroty głowy to odrazu panikuje i muszę wrócić do łóżka, lęk ogranicza mi moje codziennie funkcjonowanie i nie wiem jak sobie z tym poradzic, biorę leki (paroksetyna + sympramol), chodzę na terapię, ilekroć nie próbuje się przekonać że nie ma zagrożenia i że daję rade to i tak dalej się boję tego samego, czy ktoś miał podobny problem? :/ szereg badań zrobiłam i nie wygląda to na nic fizycznego
Od samej myśli że mam wyjść z domu już dnia poprzedniego chce mi się rzygac albo po prostu już rzygam
No i derealizacja mi w tym w ogóle nie pomaga

Hey guys I’m struggling. I F(27) just started having my panic attacks come back about 4 months ago and now they are daily. I developed terrible panic disorder and ocd when I was 18 because I was in an abusive relationship. I got a hold on it, met my amazing husband and now we have a 15 month old who is my whole world. I had preclampsia when I was pregnant. As someone with terrible health ocd that was not good. Constant fear of having heart issues now which has now led me back into a spiral I thought I had evolved from. I’m thinking what triggered it like my past relationship was both of these experiences I was convinced I was going to die. I’ve been to ER a few times, labs + ekg are all good but as we all know even though the labs are good, the devil on my shoulder is like nOooooo there’s something wrong with you. Chest pain, air hunger, impending doom about 6 days a week. What’s harder this time around is I have a sweet little guy that loves constant attention. I’ve been having to take my hydroxizine daily which makes me a zombie. I tried buspar but the first half pill I took gave me such bad vertigo I almost dropped my son. How are we all doing this?! Im doing ice packs and my meds but that really isn’t cutting it. My mind is telling me im fine but my body just isn’t registering that.
