Panic Attacks

[gospursgojas]

Anyone get them???

[Zombie]

Nope, cause i'm secure with my life! :rolleyes

[David Bowie]

yes. I start to feel like I don't have enough air in certain situations (due to panicking) and that leads to even further panick.

Well I thought I would get more of a response last night but anyway heres why I ask....


Last night as I was closing up @ work (resturant), this guy walks in like 10 mins before we close. Which usually pisses us off, and then to make it worse he stands on his phone by the door and is yelling at sombody for like 5 mins. So when he finally comes up to order, we're pretty pissed b/c we close in like 5 and this guy doesn't even know what he wants to order.
So he comes up to the counter and tells me "Man I haven't eating in like 3 days". At which point I start to think "ahh shit hes going to ask for some free food or something". But this guy didnt look homeless or anything so I told him something like what can I get for you??? He was like "I dont know something heavy, I haven't eaten in like 3 days b/c I've been so damn busy at work" (Ok cool he doesn't want free shit) "I've been so busy at work, I have a horrible wife, and I think I in the middle of a nervous breakdown"
He goes on for about 10 or 15 mins talking about the bird flu and another hurricane katrina and such, saying how much he worries about stuff like that.
Then he tells me that about 15 years ago he had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and that he gets panic attacks. And then what really gets me is that he said he was at a red light one day and he just had a sudden feelling of needing to escape so he just put his car in park, and jumped out of his car, leaving his car running at some intersection mind you, and ran to some apts down the street from where he was and splashed some water in his face.

Anyway I was really nice to him after all that b/c I was thinking, Man this guy just needs a vacay or something. But I was just really shocked at what he was telling me, I mean I heard of panic attacks before, my Moms says I used to get them alot when I was little, she called them anxiety attacks though, and I think I might even remember having experiened one or two before in my later years, but never jumping out of my car at a red light.

Anyone else get them that bad???

[angel_luv]

I have never heard of anyone who had them that bad.

Usually when I am really stressed, I sleep walk.

One time i panicked in an elevator while watching a midget trying to reach the first floor button but it was too high for him to reach. He kept jumping up and down with his short stubby legs and i was just standing there watching him. about a minute passed and he was still trying to reach. He kept motioning me to help him but i did nothing. I started to get nervous and began to sweat. He then turned around and politely asked me to help him with the button. I didnt say anything and the elevator went silent, he stood there looking at me with those bitty looking eyes, one of them was lazy. "well are you going to do anything?" he says. At that moment I screamed at the top of my lungs and then urinated on myself. I paused for a moment once again and then bolted out crying and flayling my arms........... I wonder what that midget is doing right now..probably poker with his midget friends. :)

Yeah, I've heard of them getting that bad in some of my classes. They're easy to keep in check the person has the right therapy and what not. But that's a crazy story. It sounds like that guy needs a less stressful job too!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Why are there so many disfunctional pussies in this world.


Didn't you retire from this site (or at least the Troll Forum) twice?

[Oscar DeLa]

I dont know what it is but johnny blazes signature is malicious and uncalled for.

[AmericanPsycho]

I've had a few in my life.

[Boris]

I'm too mellow.

[Mr Hanky]

Dirties used to talk to some pretty good shit in the Troll forum.

[Oscar DeLa]

I dont know what it is but someone at my workplace had a panic attack during an inspection and he will be made fun of heavily when i see him!

[Good 'N Plenty]

I don't panic very often except when I run out of Easy Mac.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

I had an near overdose and a roll-over accident all within a three month timeframe like six or seven years ago. That cause med to have panic attacks. I use to feel anxious (anxiety) all the time. I use to roll down the windows to my truck because I felt like I needed some air. I had to be around someone at all times because I always felt like something was going to happen to me. Well, I was tired of it and knew it was all in my mind.

I started praying in my room every night in front of a mirror for like two months. They went away and I never got them. True story. I never took any medication or went to a shrink. Just simply believed God would help me through it.

ROTFLMAO@ howbouthemspurs..... :lol

I've had one before in the middle of the night. I thought I was having a heart attack. It sucked.

[nickbroken]

Wow, I actually agree with you for once. Panic attacks=sign of a little bitch


Wow I would expect something completely ignorant from you, anyways Panic attacks = common reaction to the body, during an emergence response, fight or flight mode, i.e. the survival mode everyone of us are programmed with and have been since man first came around, the same response system the kicks in when you have a test, almost get in a car wreck, get in a fight, etc, the only difference is with a panic attack there is nothing to focus on i.e. crash, fight, so your body focuses on the symptoms instead, and makes more of them then they really are. i.e. I can't breathe, I'm having a heart attack, I'm dying, etc.They are completely harmless and normal.

Worse comes to worse, just take a xanax.

[tlongII]

Sounds like a crackhead to me...


I have had tachycardia episodes, but I don't think that is the same thing as a panic attack. It's a rapid heart beat that will make you dizzy and you can pass out.
