Sick of being sick
3 years ago
My panic attacks started when I was 14, but I shook them off as just being sick. They happen to me when I am around the opposite sex, like on a date. I feel really anxious and scared, and in extreme cases I actually throw up. It is so horrible. I haven’t had one where I got sick for a while now, and I am dating someone who knows about my situation and helps me through it. I have tried lots of drugs and therapies, but the only thing that seems to be working for me is not trying to control them when a panic attack comes on. I just try to let it flow through me, accept the fact that I am scared. I tell myself that I have been through this before, it will pass, I can handle it, take deep breaths, and lately it has been working!
