Nice Job on the gro just skimmed yer thread , but damn loooks great
If you dont mind me asking, why do you get panic attacks?
Cuz hes a puss! LOL I only say that because he and I have shared in depth with each other about panic attacks. @SomeGuy get a mini ziplock, put 1 or 2 ativans in it and keep it in your wallet. I have one! Oh and its got a few viagra in it too cuz you never know
That, and having a supply in every vehicle. I haven't had an attack in ages, but man I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them on the ready.
I'm sorry to hear it, for what it's worth you've always come across pretty cheerful and upbeat.
Having them handy is a safety blanket, that's actually a great strategy. Just don't suddenly remember you forgot them lolCuz hes a puss!

I was carrying one with me everyday for a long while. Then I wasn't having problems and haven't been carrying it for months... Needless to say I am carrying...Cuz hes a puss!

um... yea... I can relate 100%. I chewed one when she got here with them and then another 1/2 of one 30min later. 2+ hours of attack has knocked me back good though.Oh wait no, I just had an attack a few weeks ago! Damn old age... My wife and I were going to an early dinner at a sushi place. It was hot as fuck that day and I was smoking in the car while I drove there. It was my first smoke of the day and can hit me hard sometimes. So by the time we got from the car to door, in the heat, I was like holy fuck I'm high. We get in the restaurant and its fuckin packed. I don't like big crowds, especially when Im starting to wig on some green fever. Luckily I'm able to tell my wife anything and everything so I told her Im starting to freak out. She said do you want me to get your ativan from the car? (didn't have the wallet) and I said no. She said well you do want to get it? I said no... I'm afraid if I try to walk out myself I won't make it to the door without passing out and I don't want you to go because I don't want to be alone. LOL So I said just hold my hand for a bit... I put my head down and after about 5 minutes I decided Id rather risk dying while she went and got them from the car. I didn't open my eyes once from the time she got up till she got back, felt like an eternity. I also recommend chewing them when u need it in a hurry! Anyways, just wanted to share that with ya'll
I really hope you feel better. And losing control is not a bad thing, a lot of people spend a life time trying Take care
Thanks. I am aware of the physiology and still it is scary beyond belief. I was a grade A-1 boyscout and treat myself for shock etc.. Unfortunately I am rendered somewhat paralized by attacks also. Really, it is so shitty. I hate the intermittent tearfulness that comes in the days afterwards . I even know quite well I am not alone and that a TON of other men have this going on. It pisses me off the most that my mind, and awareness, are unable to mitigate the effects.Part of the experience of a panic attack (or even a whitey from smoking) is the bodies natural reaction to adrenalin and overbreathing. It takes all of our blood to the head leaving the rest of the body with nothing, leaving us weak and cold. Also spasms the diafragm making it impossible to breath other than shallow and fast. This leads paradoxically to less oxygen in the blood as the blood loses CO2 changes its PH, leaving us faint dizzy and w pins and needles everywhere.
The physiology doesnt really describe the subjective experience of it, i know. I hope this doesnt sound preachy or lecturing, but knowing what happens gives you some sense of control. If/when it happens get horizontal or leggs up, if you cant control your breathing,breath in a bag. Fuck stigma, if people are judgy its their problem, just do what u need to get right. Being tearfull? Im every day, even right now. Just part of knowing your heart isalive and beating. And remember its mostly about O2, CO2 and Ph, just like the grow
Yup had them all my life & knowing what was happening (early on ) & knowing I was PreparedCuz hes a puss!

You can't out-think emotion, unfortunately. The physiological/chemical changes in your body are monstrous barriers to that. Thank god for medications, eh? DBT may prove to help move past episodes faster (researchers are finding it a surprisingly powerful tool in a number of emotional disregulation issues) and there may be some commonality to triggers that you can identify and try to avoid, but the bottom line is when it hits you're fucked and it just sucks.
