i have had that feeling many times..especially during the summer.But a few weeks it occured again..the first few times it happend i didn’t think much about it reassuring myself it wasn’t anything serious and that it would pass..and it really would pass after a day or so.But this last time it happend i got scared and thought something was wrong with me & that’s when it lasted for 4 or 5 days..i guess the more you think something is wrong with you the longer it lasts id you’re constantly thinking about it.My boyfriend has had the same thing & he’s the only one who understands me because no one else i know except him has experienced it.The feeling is sort of undescribable..it’s like when I say something i would like ask myself ”did i just say that” or when someone would talk to me i wouldn’t understand them clearly..kind of like i was drunk I looked it up online and the closed thing i found was ”Derealization”..but don’t worry,just don;t think about it that much & it will go away & if it comes back again don’t be scared,you’ll know nothings’ wrong with you and that it’ll pass within a few days or so

Wow i can’t belive how many other people i can relate to.I thought i was going crazy.,i’m only 18,and had my first panic attack when i was 17 thinking i had a brain tumor.I started to shake,think about how i was going to die..i wasn’t able to sleep.After a while i was able to fall asleep & didn’t want to tell anyone what happend to me thinking that telling someone would make it reality & thought that my constant thinking about it and feeling my head for bumps would seriously make a tumor occur.My second panic attack happend 2 weeks ago,i started thinking about hear attacks,and even though i knew it was very rare for a 18 year old person to have one,i still convinced myself that something was wrong with my heart.I started to look up heart attacks on the internet which scared me even more causing me to have a panic attack where i started to tremble and was feeling my heart CONSTANTLY…when i couldn’t feel my heart beat i would freak out and start doing jumping jacks to make my hear beat faster making it easier for me to mae sure my heart was still beating. I didn’t talk to anyone about it until i couldn’t take it anymore and had a erge to make my dad take me to the doctors’ since i was terrifed of hospitals…she first asked me if i was stressed out,which i honestly wasn’t aware of but thinking about everything i realized that i most likely was stressed out. she checked everything out and said everything was fine with me but if i wished to make an EKG to reassure me for me to do so.i didn’t think it was necessary so we just went home.That night i was constantly thinking about my heart and even started to feel a pain in my chest which i obviously imagined but realistically felt. That whole week i didn;t go to school,i couldn’t sit still,my hand was constantly on my chest,i couldn’t even watch TV.I went to 2 other doctors that told me everything was fine with me and for me to see a therapist to talk to about my problems. I had to always do something with myself,i would go walking because staying in the house made me feel nervous and anxious..i would clean the house just to keep myself busy. A few days ago i signed up for pilates to calm me. All i think about it having another panic attack,when i wake up that’s the first thing on my mind and when i go to sleep i wake up a few times during the night.I’m constantly tired & i’ve been to the ER to make an EKG,the results showed that everything was fine with me,but that still didn’t make me feel better.I’ve been to a therapist which perscribed ”Helex”;i haven’t had it because i’m terrifed of taking any pills. No one really understood me when i would tell them my problem..eveyone just says that it will be okay,it will go away with time,ect.I was litterally thinking about every possible bad thing/or all the sicknesses i could get..Reading these comments from everyone definatly makes me feel better & at ease knowing that it’s curable and that i’m not alone so i thank you guys for writing down all your thoughts and feelings

Hey guys! I just recently started having Panic attacks about 2 weeks after my son was born, (he was born at 27 wks) and Has been in the NICU since July 29th 2011. im 19yrs old, and this is my first kid and my first time ever having these. The first time I had the ambulance come and pick me up because i thought i was dying!! and when they did blood work and everything else, they told me, I had an anxiety attack, so i didnt have another one til 2 months later and ended up back in the hospital. Its been 5 days since that ER trip and im still over thinking that trip, thinking they missed something. :/ ….
Im really thinking about getting this!! it seems to be worth it, with all the great results!!
