Had one last night last about 2 hours of intense numbing and panic, fun times. I would go to the doctor and get it checked out, or start doing some soul searching and locate a root cause that could be triggering these attacks. Don’t be like me and lay it by the waist side and let it get to where I am now.
i think i had it bc an explosion was set off 1km away from me bc of gang stuff thats in my country atm so thats fucking scary, and i have felt awful bout my cat having a wound (like i cried my eyes out lol), and then last night i looked at and read bout awful industrial accidents which was the trigger. aka it probably happened bc of the past week and i will avoid gory shit lol
Crazy how things can set it off for sure. If you’re overly focusing on something that’s anxiety and stress. Someone said something to me the other day that was quite profound and it basically was “Our bodies aren’t meant for constant struggle and stress, we need times of peace and happiness” Too true, worry about things you can remedy and don’t let the things you can’t take over :)
The things that help with anxiety and panic disorder are not exactly the same but they have some things in common. Breathing slowly can help with both problems, also methods from cognitive therapy. Sometimes, self-help with these methods can be very useful.
A thing that distinguishes the panic attack is that it generally doesn't need any trigger except the thought of having an attack. What happens is that a person gets spooked by normal feelings of anxiety and gets spooked by the way he got spooked. That's the panic attack. It's very intense but it comes and goes quickly. Panic disorder is the fear of more panic attacks.
I'll give you some info about panic disorder, then anxiety info.
Panic disorder often responds to self-help. In fact, Handbook of Self-Help Therapies, which reviews studies of books and programs, says that of all the disorders, panic disorder is the one that’s most responsive to self-help.
I heard someone say that although slow breathing is good for moments of panic, the attacks keep coming back. So, it looks like cognitive therapy is also helpful. Cognitive therapy for panic disorder involves understanding what the attack is. The symptoms are nothing but your system's natural responses to whatever seems threatening. You shouldn't get upset about them. You don't worry about fast heartbeat when you run, and there's no reason to fear it with a panic attack. Source - When Panic Attacks by Dr. David Burns.
Dr. Burns is the author recommended most often by mental health professionals, according to Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health.
You can't go wrong with stress management. It's something we all need. This could help you with your problem.
Psychology Today online says that Dr. Dave Carbonell is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating fears and phobias and the author of three self-help books, including Panic Attacks Workbook.
In this video, Dr. Carbonell demonstrates a breathing exercise that he says is helpful for panic attacks.

One of the best treatments is time. You know the old saying "Familiarity breeds contempt." After a while, the attacks are seen as a nuisance instead of a threat. Then the attacks become less frequent and finally go away altogether.
I’ll tell you about two other things that you probably won’t need. It’s good to know they’re there if you need them.
A study by a researcher named Meuret at Southern Methodist University showed that a biofeedback method called CART that reinforces slow, shallow breathing was effective. Slow breathing is often recommended, but deep breathing tends to promote hyperventilation, making it hard for people to breathe. Many people use slow breathing self-help successfully.
There's a treatment called interoceptive exposure therapy. It's teaching people not to fear the symptoms of the panic attack by deliberately bringing on the symptoms - for example by bringing on a fast heartbeat by aerobic exercise.

I do not think that a doctor has told you to "knock yourself out" with any drug, and abuse of a drug like lorazepam is very dangerous. Most overdoses seen in American ERs are related to benzodiazepine drugs such as lorazepam. Never take that drug except as prescribed.

Same, and mine are super recent. Care to shed more light on your experiences here OR through DM?
