Search Results: what causes panic attacks

I suffered really bad panic attacks twice without realizing I was having a panic attack. I thought I was gonna die. I became sick and weak. I lost appetite. I started having severe constipation. I couldn't breathe. I had to constantly take deep breathes. I couldn't sleep because I was scared that I would die in my sleep. It was really bad. I was so paranoid about what's wrong inside my body. It was only after several tests that came out normal and a mental health counseling, I got significantly better. I realized that it was all in my head. I didn't know my mind could severely affect my physical body. I remember sitting on a chair absolutely weak and tired and thinking I was gonna die. I think it almost killed me. All of that would have never happened to me if I was aware that it was all caused by anxiety in the first place. If I ever get the opportunity to do something for the society, I want to spread awareness about depression and anxiety disorder. I would never wish that experience to my worst enemy. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hi folks,

I'm 23 years old and I have been doing what I love with free time and financial freedom from my own business for almost 4 years.

Those years I was single not for a choice but because I was way too busy and so broke at the same time. I had to do things I now regret, but now I know I had to go through to get where I am.

5 months ago I met this charming, beautiful and intellectual woman which I love from all my heart. I take her with her problems even though they might hurt me sometimes.

Not a long time ago a very stressful event happened and she didn't have the nerves to handle it as good as I did, she ended up twice in the hospital for having panic attacks. She since have been prescribed an antianxiety pill to regain control whenever one of those would happen (if so) again.

I paused the business for weeks for her to regain control of herself. I then slowly started without telling her and now that I told her she said she would allow me some time to sell the business instead of ending it quick at a loss.

She says I either accept this or she'll have to go because she can't deal with such stress in her life.

I currently live in a condo with her, we share every single moment of our lives together except the ones where I see she won't fit (anxiety-causing).

Thank you for reading it all...

What should I do, what are your thoughts on this?
