This is gonna sound a bit insulting, but didn't you drink the other night and the same thing happened?

I'm almost a hypocrite for saying this, but DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL.

For me alcohol doesn't cause panick attacks, not yet. But if it's causing panic for you you NEED TO STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL.

Plain and simple. DO NOT DRINK ANYMORE!!!!

Yeah. I mean it's the same with me and weed. Weed is what started this for me, and I can't even get second hand of that stuff anymore without having an attack. I can't even smell people who've been smoking weed.....

I'm with you on the sick of life part. My life seemed pretty low before this panic disorder....I'm pretty angry that I'm having to deal with this now too.

But when that attack hits your perception changes. In the moment everything's different. Keep laying down. Staying still will at the least keep your heart rate from going up because running, walking or doing things will make it go faster.

Drink some water. And focus on something else. TV or something. If I watch some movie I like or something I can get lost in it and it will make me forget about the panic. I'm a die hard Metallica fan and when I feel this come on I pop in their new documentary....

Oh and another thing. I'm no expert, I'm new to this too.

But you aren't going to die. This board, and many other resources have assured me that people DO NOT DIE from panic attacks.

And going to the ER? You know what? If you feel that bad...it's not going to hurt you to go to the ER. The only thing those people can do is help you....give you something to calm you down....or something.
