Have You ever had a Panic Attack

I have some of the worst panic attacks, and they started when I was 20 or so...so about 7 years. I've never been to a shrink for it because they only happened every so often. Then about 6 months ago, I started having 2 or 3 panic attacks a week, and I thought it was just going to be like that forever. Met a cool ass female, and I haven't had a panic attack since. I almost have, but they went away before they could be full blown. So, I'm thinking they got worse as things in life got worse...and when things started getting better, the attacks just stopped happening.
Even if they come back, my girl is pursuing a master's in psych, so she's always there to help if it happens again.
Hit me if you need to talk about it though, fam.

HAHA, bitch dependency? Naw, that's just called being happy with my life now...not running around doin' the same old bullshit I used to. If she leaves? Well, they may come back. No big deal either way. I dealt with panic attacks for a long time on my own, and they were frequent. With or without her, I know what to expect and I know how to deal with it. I was just pointing out something that made me want to change the way I do shit, which helped with the panic attacks.
EXACTLY! For a while, all I had goin' on was recording, recording, recording, recording. I didn't leave the spot for 2 or 3 weeks at a time...take a day off, then I was right back at it. Cabin fever...pretty much the same as being locked up, only it was voluntary.
I know the whole girl thing sounds funny to some of these badasses, but it's real as fuck. Get a down ass female that supports and loves the shit out of you, and you're good.

i was bout to go to bed, fucc.
i didnt realize lots of people have panic attacks.
i just got one recently, never had b4 in my lif, ever. i wanted to get a head start in getting in shape. so here's what happened.
2.5 hours b4 my routine, i had a sandwich and some water. i started my routine, was drinking water. went back to doing my routine. all of a sudden like 30 minutes into it, i started to feel light headed and dizzy spell like. so i just stopped my routine, and decided to just go for a walk, to lower my heart rate. but then i didnt feel right for some reason, so i came back in and sat down, thinking if i was at rest my heart rate would go down. but it didnt and then i started hyperventilating, and the panic attack set in.
so here i am rushing to the ER, the more i breathe, the more my entire body was tingling and getting numby, to the point that i felt like my heart was gonna burst outta my chest like those fuccin cuddly care bears.
i get to the ER, and tell em i need attention, and they have me fill out a form. fuc, hate taht shit im dyin over here, and they fuccin with my life.
anyways, they get me in a room, my heart rate is like 150, i am huffing and puffing thru my mouth, still tingling numby all over.
thye do an ekg, to check heart rhythm, and that shit turned out fine, no irregularitys. i get iv fluids in me. i was ther for like 2 hours. thye took a blood sample without telling me, im still a lil pissed they didnt notify me of that, cuz i feel like its my right to know if they are taking something out of my body.
the tingling didnt go away for 1.5 hours from the time i was in the hospital. thye told me to breath slowly through my nose. it was working, but at a slow rate to bring my heart rate down.
thye never told me what my blood sample showed. they just told me i suffered from dehydration and from low hemoglobin count (which is the shit that carrys oxygen aroud your body. basically my blood was anemic.
after i got released, i didnt do shit for like a whole week til i saw a docotr. during that week, for some reason, everytime i tried walking or doing any movement taht wold raise my heart rate up, i would start getting thse dizzy spells again, and then my heart would race again. shit was mainey ass fucc.
i finally saw the doctor. he gave me a pyhsical. heart seemed fine, no irregular heart beat.
he touched me in ways no other man has touched me. just caressed me all over down there, man handled. i felt violated. when something like this happens a man has to restore his manhood in some shape or form. so i hit the scrip crubs that nite and made sure i got some lap dances and that the tits and ass rubbed all over my body. it's the only way folks, trust me.
anyways, back on topic, he showed me the blood sample, and it showed taht i was dehydratd and anemic at the time i was admitted to the ER. i told him about the dizzy spells, and he couldn't figure out what those were and how they was realated to the panic attack i had.
basically he told me, that i had overexerted myelf on my exercise routine and did to much and didnt hydrate myself enough. also, he told me that i lost a lot of electolytes and minerals that water jsut couldn't replace. and that i shoulda drank some gatorade or sprts drink during the work out to replenish the body.
i thought eating a sandwich and drinking water was good enough, but i guss not.
i didnt realize till doing my own research, that those dizzy spells taht i ws having b4 the panic attack, were actually SEIZURES, very MILD SEIZURES. if you ever felt a lil spaced out for no reason, it might be a mild seizure taht usally last a couple seconds or 10 seconds.
these mild seizures is what set of the panic attack for me. and the way the body process works in these situations is, the mind started telling my body that there was something wrong, even if its a minor thing. so the mind sends signals to the adrenal gland to produce adrenaline, fight or flight. and this is what made my heart rate shoot up 40-50 bps in a matter of minutes, as if i was dying, it was gonna give me a fighting chance.
this whole thing of the heart beat increasing dramatically, causes the person to hyperventalite, bringing in more oxygen thru the mouth, like large swallows of oxygen, like imagine a whale going up for air and swallowing a huge gulp amount of air.
now the body is always for the most part trying to reach homeostatsis or equality. so it didn't like the fact taht i was inhaling more oxygen and exhaling less carbon dioxide. so the body will get defensive and start to constrict blood vessles and shut down the brain to further prevent more oxygen coming in and containg whatver precious carbon dioxide it can hold onto within the body. when this happens it causes ACIDYOSIS, our acid build up, and this ACIDIYOSIS, is what causes people to fell that tingly numby shtty feeling they get.
the human body is a fragile yet complex organism. everything chemically happens in an instant and if things go awry in the processing line, and things is unequal,trouble happens.
my doctor gave me some clonazepam, and told me to take it when a start feeling jittery. which hasnt been too often.
for me this is a wake up call. ive changed my diet, and the way i live, i dont take shit for granted anymore.
im sure these episodes ill go away all in due time. and i relaized taht motto" take it one day at a time" is so true. just worry about today and what yo got to do, and not worry bout the past or future, that kinda thinking might predispose you to another attack,
like i said take it easy when excercsing if ou are jsut starting out after winter.
also, you dont want to be on that clonazepam for to long, because its habit forming and you can grow tolerance to it.
just dont let it get to your head, cuz thats when the whole cycle continues and your adrenal glands kick in the process.
i hope everyone can ovecome these episodes. learn to breath thru your nose and out thru your mouth. practice it. i forgot to breath normally, until this shit occured, now im training myself to brath properly, were it becoems 2nd nature.
stay as healthy as possible, it's all you got folks.

i used to get them all the time, once i started calling them panic attacks rather than asthma attacks, and treating them as such, they went away. ive been told all my life i have asthma, but docs could never figure out why the asthma shit never stopped the attacks. now i feel them starting, and i do whatever i can to take my mind off it. usually i sit and work on a song, and it blows over
i found some shit called pharmagaba.. its these natural pills that you chew about 1-2 3x daily and theyre fast acting.. they basically make your brain produce GABA which induces relaxation and gets rid of stress.
I woke up to a panic attack two nights in a row now but i can control them now.. they dont last longer than like a minute or two, i used to get em for hours at a time. Once you get used to them and ignore them its nothing.. its like not even getting them at all anymore cuz u dont notice the effects of it.
