  • anxiety attack

    so last nite i think i had my first ever anxiety attack

    i was at the movies watching avatar (which was pretty damn cool btw) and towards the end my heart started racing. it was crazy then my legs felt as if the blood rushed out of them. i thought if i stood i wouldnt be able to. i wanted to get out. the movie ended and we were standing around waiting for a few people to go to the bathroom, and i start shivering, well it was a little bit cooler in the hall. but the whole time im thinking omg wtf can we pleeeeease leave. so we get to my car and its damn cold out. so i always shiver a little but i was like full on shaking, i didnt even wanna drive. but i didnt tell anyone what i was feeling so i drove and made it back to our meeting place and i got home just fine and layed in bed feeling a little better but at the same time not becuase i didnt know wtf had just happened.

    i googled the symptoms today and they sounded pretty accurate. i called my mom and she said thats what it sounds like, shes had anxiety attacks before but luckily none lately.

    so im going to the doctor wendesday. who knows. i havent had a checkup in a while so maybe they will find nothing or a ton of things lol. one thing i def know is that theyll say i dont weigh enough. no s***.

    That sucks Hopefully you're able to figure out what's going on or at least how to work with it. Dunno if it'll help or not, but focusing completely on slow regular breathing seems to help me calm back down usually.

        Sometimes it takes a bit of practice. Been there, done that.
