In reply to Suggestions for panic attacks?, posted by partlycloudy on October 6, 2004, at 8:59:50
When i dealt with panic attacks years ago on a consistent basis, i had to come to terms with the fact that they weren't going to kill me. As terrifying as they were i gritted my teeth and 'rode it out'. I didn't try to fight it. After having them for so long i realized 'this will pass' and it always did. Easier said than done i know.
Interesting that you said you are irritated by noises. I get really irritated by that too. It needs to be quiet.
I'm also very sensitive to smells. If my husband has eaten garlic or onions I will wake up in the middle of the night and the bedroom will be permeated with the smell. I cannot go back to sleep and have to move to an other room. Is anyone else that way?
