Hi @erikwebb, I'm just catching up with your discussion now. I moved your discussion to the ICU support group here to help connect you with others who understand: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/intensive-care-icu/

Post sepsis and post ICU syndromes are real. Having panic attacks and being afraid to see the doctor or to return to the hospital are symptoms that others have shared too.

When you feel panic starting what helps you?

I only wish others understood. Yes, I discovered on my own about Post ICU and Post Sepsis syndromes. No one told me what to expect. It has been a year since my experience with critical illness. I know I will never be the same. People seem to think, you survived! Isn’t that great? If only they knew what damage my entire body has experienced and continues to experience both physically and emotionally.
My proximity to death now crosses my mind daily.
