Any advice?

Hi Lenie

You poor thing.  You really need to see someone.  I was in a similar situation last year having the same feelings as you while driving home at night from work. I ended up calling 000 for help as I didn't know what was going on with me. Now I know it was a panic attack.

I suggest if you can take some slow deep breaths and count to 4.  I know it's hard but try and tell yourself that you're okay, you'll be fine.  But I still think you need to speak with someone about this.

Has anything happened for you to feel like this? Or did it just come out of the blue?

Please let us know how you are going, take care

Hi Jo

I have started talking to my doctor about this and have started medication to help but everything feel like it taking forever and a day to improve.   it happens a lot and I've been pushing myself to get out and about I don't want it to control my life. 

thanks for the post though, it's nice to know I'm not alone.

dear Lenie, your feeling is never any good, as it seems to only escalate.

Medication can take awhile to take effect, and if nothing is getting any better sooner then go back to our doctor.

Instead of going back to your car try going for a walk instead, this may have a better affect for you. Geoff.
