after so long of being in control I lost

I lost control today,I had an anxiety attack and failed to hold it off.Usually I can feel one coming on,know why and manage to hold it at bay,today I didnt.But rather than working through it I started to panic,throwing me into a full fledged panic attack!I still hours later do not know what the anxiety attack was about or why I started panicking.I had to sleep this afternoon as the attack drained me but it was bloody scary!I thought my medication was also to help me with my anxiety attacks and this is the first one Ive had in AGES,well the first serious one

(((hugs))) scary for you. Have only had a couple of mild ones so can only imagine what a bad one like that would be like...

How you feeling now?

Hugs lifey, hope your ok now hun

feeling ok,felt another attack coming on this morning but was able to control it as I knew what was triggering it.Usually I ca identify what triggers it but yesterdays one I didnt and it was bloody frightening

It's late afternoon now life, hope you have had a better day. (((hugs))) for you. Hope you are feeling better.

I suffer from panic attacks too, i know my triggers as well, crouded rooms, queues, traffic lights and roundabouts. It sure does drain you, poor thing.

I hope you find out what triggered it but sometimes i guess it cant be explained!

Ive had some pretty bad ones in the past, and the most recent at the airport going through customs. I was absolutely knackered when i finally got out of there! Not nice at all!
