Panic Attacks
I had them many years ago.
Came one night out of the blue when I layed down for bed.
Felt like I couldn't breatht, panicked, cold sweat, trembling, lightheaded.....Everything at once you can think of, and exactly as you explained, like you're dying.
Kept happening, kept going to hospital and doctors, they all tell you the same thing, you don't believe it and are convinced something is wrong with you.
Finally saw someone about it.
She introduced me to panick attacks and explained exactly what I was experiencing every time.
But something she said helped.......
She said... "Ok, you know what happens every time now right? You know they aren't going to hurt you now. So from now on instead of fighting it, just think to yourself "Let's get this over with"....."
It made perfect sense.
It helped as they gradually went away.
I can tell you that they become mostly psychological because of some other events I experienced that triggered them....
