My Panic Attack Solution

My son is in Kindergarten and is normally very excited to go to school. He’ll jump right out of the car in carpool lane and walk in. Starting last week, he seems to not want to go. He literally is making himself puke in the car and he can’t stop crying. I have talked to him about this and asked why, but he won’t say anything. I’m hoping this will pass, and I was hoping that someone else has dealt with this and can maybe give my husband and I some pointers on how to deal with this. His teacher’s asst. said that she might have him talk to the counselor and hopefully that will help.

Sometimes it’s nothing.
I have no idea why they go through these stages..
My daughter did the same thing.. she absolutly loved it for a few weeks then out of NO where she started to hate it, cringe at the thought and vomit and all that stuff..
Eventually it went away after many talks and many days of crying..
I reassured her that she can tell me anything.. if anything is bothering her or if something happened,… I told her that almost daily..
I would even confide in her and tell her things about my day (just tiny things as examples) and that helped her .. she felt more comfortable in talking to me once I told her that even mommy has things at work that makes me get sad.. like when my friend told me I did a case wrong.. but later she told me that she’d help me fix it and how nice that was of her .. so that got her to open up about how her BFF told her she didn’t like her anymore..
just an example..
I hope you find some answers soon, I nkow what a tough time this is for yal..
good luck!

I’m a stay at home mommy of 4. My husband works night shift. I have been experiencing some pretty horrific panic attacks this past week. usually they come ONLY at night after my hubby leaves for work but the past 2 days they have been happening ALL day long with no breaks in between. CONSTANT panic and anxiety! I worry so much about when another panic attack will occur that i continue to be anxious and have panic attacks. I have tried deep breathing, taking my mind off of "it", going outside for a walk, drinking water etc and NOTHING helps!!! Can someone, anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop them when they are about to happen and how to stop worrying about when the next time one will happen. I cant sleep, I cant eat, I cant even focus on my children with these panic attacks. Waiting for insurance to kick in so no doctor YET! Please help!!!!

When one "hits" start pacing to work off that extra adrenaline. You are now in the cycle of "fearing the fear" this happens alot with people who have panic/anxiety disorder.

Get a small rock or stone and keep it in your pocket when one hits rub the stone concentrate on how it feels, the texture your mind cannot concentrate on two things at once.

Hug your kids, smell their hair, feel their little hands stay in the moment with them.

I’m a mom of 4 kids and have a panic disorder if I can do it, you can to, promise

You can’t stop them but, you can keep telling yourself this is going to go away in a few minutes, and it will. You have done it before and you can do it again.

No insurance, call the Mental Health Association and see someone there. The are very low cost, I once paid 35 dollars for a year of treatment.

Panic and anxiety attacks are horrible. But they are what they are and they can’t last more than a half hour.

Have snacks ready for the kids and have videos ready too. Then sit down with them, so you can give yourself a rest.

I’ve never had them. Bu i ‘ve been hyperventilating for the last hour. My computer got infected by a virus recently sending multiple viruses from it. And my computer makes this dreadful sound when another enters and I get very scared and jump when I hear it, I just got my computer back from the shop and I just found another virus. I started shaking and hyperventilating then and a few minutes later I heard 2 more quickly and I started to cry and now my heart hurts. I heard another one infect a few minutes ago and it’s getting worse. The sounds make me worse quickly, but without it I find myself getting steadily worse and worse.
As a child, i saw a Digimon movie where viruses where infecting everything and it really messed with my mind so viruses terrify me. Is this a panic attack, o a heart attack cause my heart hurts bad. I’m getting light headed. What do I do??
Ok a 5th one just came. I can’t stand how light headed I am
There was a long strong of that sound from mulitple virus and I’ve been worse. I ran away from the computer crying and hyperventilating and shaking and so lightheaded. That sound kills me my dad is trying to calm me down and so is my best friend. I’ve tried so many methods it wont stop. I’m scared

TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. Go lie down where it is quiet and close your eyes. This has all the classic signs of a panic attack. There is nothing you can do with your computer tonight so forget about all of this. Once you relax, all of your symptoms will go away. If you can’t lie quietly, go for a walk – warm muscles will help you relax. And, taking some tylenol wouldn’t hurt.

ok so since I was a child (I am now 17) i occasionally get a random ‘attack’. it usually happens when I’m going to sleep or doing something low-key like reading but mostly when I am by myself, I dont feel it coming I have about 5 seconds where I feel my mind kind of slipping into it..
Basiclly what happens is everything goes very fast like fastforwarding everything i see think and hear, there’s a drumming and breathing sound inside my head which is very loud and i feel like i have this indescribable expression (always the same) on my face which turns in on me inside my head (best I can do to explain it).
It doesnt happen often maybe like 10 time a year but usually comes a few times in one month. I have had it doing school work before and in a maths exam.
Once I feel it coming I find it very difficult to get out of, it gets faster and faster, like I am experiencing something very different. It will go if i distract myself and dont think about it. But it is definatley either happening or not, so there is no I’m kind of having it only the few seconds before it starts. It is not relaxing.

I dont take drugs, perfectly healthy, no mental illnesses
any idea what this could be ? please help

You should consult a doctor. It doesn’t sound like a panic attack.
If it is either one, it is definitely not good to be experiencing this so often. Especially if this is a seizure. Repeat seizures can damange your brain, and definitely need to be treated

I’m 25 years old, and I know this is completely out of character for my brother. He’s normally very quiet and doesn’t scare easily. I’ve never seen him so scared in my life. The news was on CNN and they were showing scenes from the Haiti earthquake. The reporter said to take young children out of the room because they were going to show a disturbing scene. The program hadn’t shown anything yet, the reporter was still speaking, and my brother ran upstairs screaming and had this crazy look on his face and wouldn’t let go of my mom. He also didn’t speak for the rest of the night, he would just point at things and he even slept in my parents room because he was so freaked out. Is this a normal thing or should we take him to see someone about this?

Since hes usually quiet I think he holds feelings in and the Earthquake was the final stress that made him get fall apart.
Also since didn’t speak for the rest of the night. It would be a good idea for your parents to take him in. I pray for the best for him.

im so paranoid about dying …i seem to go in to a panic attack….i hate to take meds because they all make me real sleepy….in the past yr a friend of mines sister committed suicide and she had small children…and a client we had in an ofc that i worked died of cancer and she was 37 …im 36….you think this may be why? anyone else out there paranoid about this

You should not dwell on this if it bothers you…

I’m 29 years old and pregnant with my first child (7 months). I just started having panic attacks (or what I think are panic attacks). I’ve started having lingering feels that I am going to die soon. I have trouble planning for my babies arrival because I keep thinking that I won’t be around to enjoy it. I can picture everyone with her in the future happy except for me. Does this sound like a common fear with pregnancy? Anything that I can take to stop my mind from wondering right abck into the same scenerios?

when i was pregnant my dr. told me about paxil,and it didnt hurt my child.

He has gone mad…..he’s 27 yrs old separated with 3 small children and has panic attacks and is on paxil will they accept him.

they probably won’t

"im bipolar"= im a b!tch when i feel like it.
"i have ADD"= i don’t pay attention cause im lazy
"my kid has ADHD"= i don’t know how to discipline my child
"i have panic attacks"= i can’t deal with stress
"i have a thyroid problem"= i eat too much and don’t exercise.

However, these same people will never get caught calling themselves schizophrenic, a hypochondriac, or psychotic.

i apologize in advance to healthcare professionals who deal with people who REALLY have these problems, and those that ACTUALLY have them.

I suffer from Hyperpunchyouintheface and getthefuckoutofmyway. I have to take a grip of pills everyday to control it. And for fun.

First, a little background about me. I am 34 and my husband is 39. We have been married for almost 10 years. When we first got married, we discussed that we would probably spend a few years without kids and then have them when I was done with school. But once I finished school and the idea of having kids became a reality, I got more and more scared of the idea. My husband and I decided to not have kids after a while, at least for now. This led to my very religious parents not speaking to me for a period of time and a lot of people giving me a lot of grief over it and that I really should have them.

So now my husband is nearing 40 and is going back on this idea thinking that he wants kids. My problem is that I am TERRIFIED of having kids! Most of the online posts I have seen on the subject are people who are scared of going through the pain of delivery or the physical issues surrounding pregnancy, but that is not it for me. I do not like children and have had panic attacks around large groups of them on more than one occasion. But I really have a phobia over hating my life after having them. I have a few friends who have had kids who really hate their lives and resent their children because of it.

Everyone tells me that once I have them then I will realize how great they can be and that "it is different when the are yours." Honestly, I am a little tired of hearing that because I feel like nobody understands what I am saying about this fear. And what if it is not true? What if I do hate my life and hate or resent my children because of it? Is there some sort of name for this phobia?

A good portion of people who want children aren’t ready to have them. You don’t want them, don’t have them. It would be a recipe for disaster; you wouldn’t truly be able to be a good mother to them, and they would likely grow up unhappy and unsatisfied with life, and you yourself would be extremely unhappy. Please honey, don’t have children. You don’t want them, you are terrified of the idea, don’t have them just because you are pressured.
