This is my main fear also. They assure me that I am not going crazy, but I remember how I used to feel before General Anxiety Disorder and it was a whole lot better then this. Yes the moments of unreality and yes the moments of confusion becacuse you are so anxious you can't think straight. It all sucks. I hope one day they will find an answer for this , just one solid answer
Mean while I trust in God to help me

O my goodness speaking of going crazy, I was for sure tonight I was loosing it going mental. I am under a lot of stress right now, and i was sitting outside with my aunt talking and all of a sudden i started crying and thought i was going crazy, i even went into my room and was pacing back and fourth which felt like forever but it wasnt, i was even grabbing at my head and telling myself that im not crazy but my thoughts were going so fast in my mind i thought i was, i thought i was just gonna loose it and explode in the middle of my room with my husband standing in the door way telling me i was not crazy, and hearing our son in the living room playing with his cars.
But yes that scares me but its our thoughts that can make them worse, i finally asked my hubby to leave me a lone for awhile, i went into the bathroom and looked at myself and talked to myself till i was calm, but then my nerves were still rattled, my son was being really loud and i got more nervous and the thought came back your gonna loose it, so i had went back in my room and calmed myself down, i calmed myself down my doing sit ups lol, i have never tried that before and i dont know what made me do it but i started doing sit ups and i finally started calming down, now that my stomach muscles hurts, but hack it worked, so i have an idea when i get panicky im just gonna start doing sit ups LOL, I'm gonna have abs of steel LOL...
Hope all is well.

Hi Tiff,
I'm glad you found something that works for you, it sounds as though you also have a supportive husband.
Let us know if it works next time, too.
I'd definitely have to find some other "cure", I can't do a sit up if my life depended on it.
But I can manage to "Roll over".

Hi Della,
You crack me up with a roll over LOL... I tell yeah i am going to beat this panic, as i see it now hake if i bring it on myself i can control if i dont want to have one.. I told hubby last night after i calmed down i said hake i had all this anger or something that came on and i was going crazy ( so i thought) with the 100 thoughts going all at once, i said i just wanted to break something ( which i normally am not like this) i said so i decided to panic instead it saved us some money, rather then me breaking something LOL. I have also noticed that since i started having these panic attacks i have so many more emotions than i have ever had in my life. I always use to just hold everything in and not let out my feelings, its like i had to be the strong one. Our son has been through 7 major operations and was in the hospital most of his first 3.5 years of life from being sick, and i never broke down once i held everything in. Now that things are good its weird i guess i am not use to living a life w/o that stress of a sick child all the time, i am grateful that he is not sick anymore... I think that i am learning so much more about my inner self now its crazy...
Hope everyone has a good day!

Tiffany,
You've hit it for me! My panic also is 1,000 different thoughts running at one time.
I'm so sorry that your family has been through so much.
It's natural to hold everything in until a crisis is over. Your motherly instinct is just as it should be.
You've heard of people lifting a car off someone in an emergency and then after the emergency has past and reality sets in, that person can't understand how they were able to perform such an heroic act.
The same is true to us ordinary people when we deal with a a crisis. It's the adrenaline rush that keeps our head about us and able to focus on what is important at the moment. When the crisis is over we come "down" from the adrenaline "high". As parents we hold it in until we feel we have the time to crash and burn without disturbing someone else. As in your case it took several years.
It's nice to know your family's life is coming back together. Enjoy it all.
Della
